Author's POV:-
Soon after Ryan came, he came to knoe about the real situation at home. It was his mother that told him everything in her own personalised version. Though she had clearly told him how their father had forced Zahid to marry Saniya, Ryan somehow held Zahid guilty. Zahid, on the other hand became insecure with the appearance of Ryan. This sparked a cold war between the two brothers and Saniya?.. Well.. we can safely say that she was being smashed between her two suitors!
Ryan called his father and demanded answers. His father assured the boy that he would rectify the situation soon. He requested Ryan to have faith in his father and wait for his return, i.e. for a whole week!
Meanwhile, Ryan was so upset that he called Anees and asked her to come to India immediately.
Anees is their second cousin. She had been Ryan's best friend and 'partner-in-crime' since they wore napkins. She had been with Ryan at every step of his life. They studied together, graduated together, started the business together (in partnership) and stood together to make it grow. She's been his backbone and moral support all his life. Ryan believed that without Anees, he would not have been where he is now; at least not till another decade. So, at the moment of such turmoil, there was no way he would do without Anees.
Saniya wasn't suffering any less!
Do you know what happens when your past and your present stand face-to-face?
Ryan was boring holes in Saniya's heart with his taunts; while Zahid's cold behaviour and skeptic looks pushed her into a shell and made her feel guilty for the crime she never committed.
While Ryan was following her everyday and scrutinising her every move, Zahid was avoiding her like a plague and was giving her a cold shoulder.
When she would be packing lunch for Zahid in the morning, Ryan would say things like, "Wow! Are you packing food or your heart in that box?"
"Cheesy! Isn't it? To have a beautiful wife pack a lovely lunch for the handsome husband.", and blah blah blah. If he sees her getting ready for her job, he thought she wanted to pay a surprise visit to her 'dear husband's' office. If she dresses up a little bit, he thought it was to win the hubby. Once, Saniya was in a good mood and was humming something while preparing tea for all. Ryan came in and said, "Hmm.. Is that for your fiance or his brother?"She tried hard to talk to Zahid as his silence was making her uncomfortable. But there was no way Ryan was allowing that, and neither was Zahid giving her a chance. She managed to slide a note everyday in Zahid's box with little sweet nothings written on it; plus she messaged him every few hours. She wanted Zahid to know how much he meant to her and hoped that her gestures would make him smile. But Zahid never replied to any of them.
The past week was the most difficult one for her.
She had increased her prayer time 3 folds and prayed for patience. She would say, "Ya Allah! You hold the treasures of all the worlds. You are well aware of the deepest secrets of the universe and you very well know that which we expose as well as that which we bury in our hearts. There's nothing that's hidden from you. You are ths All-Knower, All-Provider and Oft-Forgiving. Please give me patience to bear the trials I am going through. Give me the strength and the means to come out victorious. Verily, you do not put more burden on a soul than it can bear. Ya Ilahi! You possess the knowledge of everything. The past, the present and the future lay bare before you. You know everything, while I know not. I have no wisdom about what is beneficial for me and what is not. You know the desires of my heart. Oh Ilahi! If, based on your knowledge, what I desire is good for me in the world and the hereafter, please make it my destiny; if not, erase that desire from my heart and make me pleased/satisfied with what you plan for me. Ya Allah! Have Mercy on me.. Verily you are the Most Merciful, Oft Forgiving and all Hearing! Ameen!"
