   Now I'm a married woman.
How much this five lettered word caused pain in my heart.
   How I wish I was with my parents right now, but here I
am sitting among some gits.
Who after my father died took me here and forced my marriage with their son.
   I didn't had a wealthy past then also they forced my marriage with 'Ahmed' my husband, I used to wonder why they want us married then it hit me that my sweet little mother-in-law is a miser and can't waste a cent by bringing a maid in the house which isn't as big as you would think a five star hotel manager's house should be. So I am a mere maid for them.
   As we ate dinner of course made by me, I can't let mother-in-law burn her hands while making us dinner so I made it.
   I put my hand beneath the dining table and showed my middle finger towards my mother-in-law,Ahmed and his brother who came here for so called spending time with family.
   My foot, I knew he came here to ask for some money once again. He was here thrice this week now.
   I was so pissed off because of their behavior towards me this days.
   I know it's bad for giving bad words or showing bad gestures but, I can bet you will do the same.
   "Eehhmm", Ahmed said.
    He definitely saw me doing that.
    I closed my eyes then after some time I opened them and looked towards him to see him glaring at me.
   I smiled at him and once again started eating noodles which unfortunately was my last minute plan as I totally forgot about making dinner.
   I too made custard and pie. Yummy!

   I prayed after eating dinner and washing dinner's used dishes.
  I made Dua for the people who sit hungry outside on streets without any house to warm up and get rid of this snow, I made Dua for people who need strength to fight back those harmful diseases.
   Every day I make lots of Dua and ask The Almighty to have mercy and forgiveness.
   Then after prayer I removed my scarf and skirt and changed into pyjamas.
   Got ready to sleep. Here sleep wasn't a right word but just laying was.
   I wasn't able to sleep after my father's death which was now a week. He died because of lung cancer.
   I lied on bed and rested my head on my hands.

_________flashback________

   "father how are you feeling now", I said biting my lip and trying hard not to cry, but slowly tears started making their way through my eyes.
   " Anam remember even after I die don't give away your hopes and always believe in Allah he won't do anything wrong remember " He spoke in very weak voice and gasped for air.
   " Anam, Aisha and I made a vow with my best friend to marry our children with..*gasped* with each other"
   " I will always do whatever you tell me father, but please don't leave me alone" I squeaked through my cries.
   A lonely tear slide down his cheeks " Sorry" he said and closed his eyes and went once again to sleep.
~5 hours after~

   Our phone rang and I quickly picked it up " Hello, how may I help you? " I asked.
   " Hello, is this Ms.Kazi am speaking to "
   "Yes " I said insure who's phone was this.
    " Well, here's a sad news our patient Mr.Kazi wasn't able to fight back. I am so sorry, Ms.Kazi can you please come at the Hospital as soon as possible "
   My heart skipped a beat after listening to the news.I slumped at the wall and released a whimper.

______ flashback over_____

   I stirred from my life's worst day's flashback to know that finally Ahmed made it and now had plopped down next to me but I can't see his face as I was facing the opposite side, anyway we don't talk much.
   Whenever I asked for money to buy me some clothes for myself but before I could continue he would just say " I don't have time right now ", what can I expect from a family who have miser blood running in their veins.
   So I used some of the money which I had saved for my father's treatment.
  " Why did you show wrong gestures to us at the dinner, today." He scoffed.
   I tried to fake a snore, bad idea.
   " I know you're awake sweetheart"
   " And please don't think we want you, we were then also happy without you and now also happy, it's that your nothing to me and I didn't wanted marry to you. Le' me tell you this, why can't you do your work sincerely without doing anything stupid", he added.
   What can I say to him? I was really a maid to them, wasn't I?
   Every day waking up early to cook for them then mopping the house , then tidy the rooms and sometimes eating stale food which someone didn't ate at night that's what a maid does and unsurprisingly I did the same.
