Alishba pov:
(One week later)

I was currently sitting on the window sill looking out in the city. Everyone was in a rush, my hand subconsciously rubbed over my tummy as a sigh escaped me. It's been a week since I left the job, better yet I was terminated. Mr. Rameez words bought tears in my eyes. I would not allow anyone to call my child illegal. Mr. Aziz had broke down in tears when I told him I was pregnant, and insisted on a house keeoer to look after me. He was strangely very happy, pleaded me to let my baby call him grandpa. I had calked dad a few days ago for updates but I haven't told him about my job. He would've called me baack. And I wasn't ready for that. On tge other hand Mr. Aziz had offered me job at his son's company, and I politely declined. I don't want to take advantage of the nice oldman. I had currently applied in four places and did interview in two. But I was not selected because I was pregnant. Another sigh escaped me as I thought about my life. A few week before my aim was different. I had wanted to forget about everything and move on. And now, my purpose was this baby. I would not let any harm come in his way.

"Alishba, dear, someone's at the door to meet you." Natalie, my house keeper voice brought me back to reality. Looking at the time it was 1. Who would've come at this time. "Who is it, Natalie?" She shrugged, "said he's your friend." I frowned, I had no friends here yet, "bring him in." I got up as Natalie went to escort the guest, I wiped my dress to get rid of any crease and looked around to see if any thing was out of place. "Hello, Ms. Alishba." My body stiffened as I turned and narrowed my eyes at the man standing before me. "What are you doing here?" He coughed a little and looked over his shoulder towards Natalie,. "can we talk, privately?"

Looking past his shoulder I nodded at Natalie, "could you give us a moment, please." Natalie nodded smiling at me but narrowed her eyes at Rameez back. I stifle a smile at her. When she was out of sight, I motioned for Mr. Rameez to sit. He sat and looked around avoiding my gaze. "So, why are you here?" I asked raising my brow at him to answer It​. "Uh... I came... I came here to apologize." He looked at me with sadness and regret, "apologize?" He nodded and sighed ready to spoke again, "yeah, about that day, I..... I misunderstood...but you had the unmarried status and I thought... I'm sorry." He looked down at his feet and continued, "something about your news triggered a bad memory. And I exploded. Please, I meant no harm." I looked hm suspiciously but when he looked up at me he was sincere, his eyes almost watered.

"It's okay, it was my fault too, I should have chosen divorced. But, I didn't want any reminder of the past. It was better to pretend it never happened." I shrugged as I continued, "anyway, I didn't wanted anybody to ask me. It's rather horrible. Atleast now." His eyes widened and a small gasp escaped him, "were you r-rap-" I cut him midway, "oh no no, not....THAT. it was... it's like it was a bad memory."

He nodded in understanding and scratched the back of his head. "There was something else thaat I came for." I nodded for him to continue, "uh.... I... I was thinking if you could join the company back." I gave him a flat look, he looked me regretfully and spoke, "Listen, I'm sorry, but I really need you. You were perfect for the job. We could have fresh start." I suppress a smile over his unease. Who knew the man who intimidated me was uncomfortable in front of me. "I'll think about it." He looked me and smiled slightly before nodding. "Thank you, I hope we could set aside our differences. I'm looking forward to working with you." He said before getting up and extended a  hand for shake. We shook hands before I said, "thankyou Mr. Rameez, I'll tell you in a day or two. Good bye." He smiled before saying goodbye.
"Natalie, would you please see Mr. Rameez to door." She came into view and nodded leading Mr. Rameez towards the door.
