Iqraam

Her face fell and I ran my hand through my hair

"Ruqayyah I-" I said and she interrupted me

"Don't speak, sir. Why are you here, firstly?" She asked me

"As salamu alaikum!" Said Iqra's coming into he view and Ruqayyah turned to her

"Oh.... was salaam! Come inside" she said and we walked inside, me being the last one

"Ruqayyah please listen!" I said to her and she looked away

"Please just once!" I literally begged her

Her eyes widened and she held her hand up.

"Balcony" she muttered before walking away.

I followed her to the balcony

Telling the kids that we had work stuff to discuss, we stood alone in the balcony

"About what happened..." I said and she again held her hand up

"Its okay Sir, i had no right as your PA to interfere your personal business" she said

I balled my fists

The hack was she talking about?

"Ruqayyah" I said calmly and she nodded

"I am sorry I snapped at you... it's just that I have problems and issues with my father that I can't just shake it off like that. I was angry..." I said and she looked away

"Hey, I am really sorry alright... I did not mean to hurt you... I know I am like my father but please?" I said and she turned to me

I stared in her brown orbs

They had tears

"Please don't cry... I did not mean to make you cry" I said and she shook her head

"Its okay... I was..I was trying to help you... just that.. I- I don't know why though" she looked away

I felt a smile creep on my face

She wanted to help me?

"Why did you want that?" I asked her

She looked away

"Ruqayyah...." I said and she walked to the bench

Taking a seat, she played with the toys of the kids

I took a seat in front of her

"Tell me" I said and she did not answer

Ya allah!

"I- I don't know!" She said in a soft voice

My heart fluttered and did stupid things I can't even explain

She looked up at me and I smiled widely

Something I did not do for the past few hours

"Its okay..." I muttered and she looked at me with questioning eyes

Weird how her eyes speak to me more than she actually does

"Naah I was just.. um...." I said rubbing my neck

"Iqraam..." she whispered and I stated at her

Her voice.. it made my name sound so.... amazing!
