Author POV

It was the day whereby Alia had to have a private convo with Azad. She was nervous yet she was glad that this would be a great opportunity to acknowledge Azad about the dangers that were about to happen.

She prayed her Asr prayers and waited till she got a call from the officials. Just then the door opened and Aisha stepped in.

"Hey di-Alia. Sorry i ran off yesterday. Can we continue to talk? Dont worry about my brother. I, have to bring you to his meeting area. Meanwhile can we walk around the garden?"she pleaded. Alia agreed and they started their walk.

"So your mom is Maimunaji? The one who was in the kitchen?" Alia asked. Aisha nodded in agreement.

"My dad passed away when i was in her womb. So, i didnt get to see my father. But i have never regretted that feeling. Raja was also like a father to me. He didnt have any daughter though as well and also treated me like his daughter. By the way how did you know?"she pondered.

Alia explained that Azad had ordered Mumbad to take them for a tour. However, she did not utter a single information of the mysterious hallway. The moment Aisha heard Mumbad's name, her expression changed which Alia failed to notice.

"So..well how is Aqil related to you?"Aisha asked. Alia replied by explaining that he was her younger brother. "Im sorry but he does looks nice.."she blushed. Alia just nudged her.

"Why did you compare me with the others that day?"Alia questioned.

"Simple. I first talked to Kalsom and she was similiarly like you. But she clearly told me that she wasnt interested in these things and she only came here because of her parents. She isnt daring like you though. And theres Shameerah. Raja and her dad are close. So, she takes that as an advantage to get close to Azad. Im trying very hard not to use this word but..she tries to seduce my bhaiya. Whenever he is around, she always makes sure that she has a high authority. She always makes people feel inferior...and i hate whenever she judges people about their outfit and all. I cant imagine she especially, to be my bhabi. I wouldnt mind running away! And theres the other two,Faryal and Mairah. They were both very quiet and didnt respond to me very well. Bhai was also specifically telling me that when both of them attended his personal talk, they were both looking at the surroundings and gave the same answers. The thing was that it was an individual talk,but both were reacting the same way and gave the same answers. Not only that, but also they always stick together at all times. The night guarding knights have acknowledged that both of their lights are always on at night..maybe they are just morning sleepers i guess.."she replied for what it looked like eternity.

However, she did had a point there. Alia noticed that strange behaviour of theirs too. Now they might have a chance to be the rivals too.

"Oh i see, by the way, thank you for the information. If you do notice anything else, inform me or Aqil immediately. Dont be afraid. And well, you can share with me anything and everything. Im trustworthy" Alia replied with an assuring smile. They walked another round around the enormous garden and Alia was stopped by a beautiful plant. It was labelled as 'lamba' in hindi. Indeed the plant was tall enough whereby it hit Alia's height.

"That was planted by my bhai, Azad. He would always water this plant and he said to me that this plant is very dear to him; and he labelled it lamba and now its also tall" Aisha said touching the stem of the plant. Alia took the watering can right beside it and started watering it after noticing that the soil was dry.

"Your bhaiya sure has a teeny weeny winy soft heart down there though. I thought that his heart was as hard as a rock. He planted this plant and it states its planted like 20 years ago!" Alia exclaimed after looking at its label.

"I dont like an outsider touching my plant. Aisha, bring her to my library. I need to have a serious talk with this lady, especially with this one and i want to talk to her,alone" Azad said pointing to Alia.

Alia froze.

Aisha directed her to Azad's library.

'Did Azad know the real me? What if he does something to me? What if he knows why im here even before me telling him?' Alia gasped.

Oo!
Does Azad knows about Alia even without her telling him? Would Alia confess her true identity?
