"Mom! What happened?" I asked as soon as I entered her room. It was unusual for Mom to sleep during the day, Hafsa told me she was unwell.

"Just some headache Beta. Nothing much". She said and I sighed walking towards her and sat beside her on the bed.

I pulled out a balm and applied her gently on the forehead, massaging it with my fingers. She smiled and looked at me, I smiled back.

"How are things between You and Inaya?" She asked, I acted as if I'm very much focused on the task and I didn't hear her.

"I know you've heard me". She spoke firmly and I huffed. "Fine Mom". I shrugged it off.

"Salman called me, they're staying at our place?" I asked as soon as I remembered and she managed a tiny smile, "Yes, they'll be coming within this week". I just nodded amd continued my work.

"I won't be quite if Seema aunt brings out the topic of Inaya's mother". I spoke firmly and she looked at me puzzled, "Why'd she do something like that about her own sister?"

Oh my innocent Mom!

"I'm not saying she'll do, but if she does I'll forget she's related to me". My tone harsher than I intend.

"Okay, I hope you show this care towards Inaya too. She's really been through a lot". She spoke softly and my brows furrowed in confusion, "What?" I asked.

"I don't know much, but I heard that she was stalked or something like that". She revealed and my eyes widened in astonishment, Inaya was stalked?

"When? And who was it?" My voice desperate.

"I don't know, these matters were handeled by Rayan and Asad Bhai". I sighed at her answer. Why don't I ever get complete amswers? That day too, Asad uncle told me to protect her but he didn't tell from whom! Pff!

"She didn't return yet?" Mom asked after a few minutes of silence, "No, She'll return by tonight or tomorrow". I said and she hummed, "The food is prepared, have your lunch before going". I massaged her head for a while and left after she slept.

I walked out, Asim was in the living area busy on a call. He's a charming monkey! But when it comes to work, he's definitely a requisite businessman.

"I don't care about anything, that site was already registered as mine. Solve this and I need the final papers by evening". His tone held power and I chuckled, he glared at me and turned his focus back to the call.

The food was served and we ate, he was still on the call.

"Someone's busy!" Ahmed mocked taking a seat beside him, we gave each other a knowing look and chuckled. Asim glared at us.

"Bhai! Where is your phone?" Ahmed asked and I knitted my brows confused, "Why?" I asked while chewing the food.

"Kaif Bhai called me, you weren't receiving, he was on another call. So". I nodded, "It might me in my room". We continued talking about random things.

"What about him?" Asim voiced out and we knew who it was.

"No recent texts or information". I declared, they both sighed.
