His Niqabi

Chap 10. Injections don't hurt at all

Armaan's POV

"Army!" Ayesha jumped on me, grinning, as she pronounced her nickname for me.

Giggles erupted from her as I tickled her.
"S-stop! Maria's calling you" she laughed giddyly.

I put her down and walked towards the twins' room.

My phone beeped in my pocket.

Boss: Good Job. Everything's settled. My brother has never been so guilty. He's taking my son in his family.
Also, you can take a vacation until I have something for you.

Indeed, he'd be happy for his son. I wonder why he always favours Qibriyah's brother over her.

It was yesterday when, after the discussion with Basith, I informed a person from our team that I had done the task boss had told me to do. I got Qibriyah's name removed from the citizen list of the city she lived in. Her family is probably informed of her death. They'll be horrified but it's necessary to be genuine for our plan has to succeed.

I have to explain everything from the start to Qibriyah. And, of course, apologize for that night's terrible mistake.

As I reached their room, Maria came out.

"Her fever's not coming down. We tried the medicine we had. She needs to see the doctor." She sighed.

As we lived in the countryside, at the edge of the forest, we had to do up-downs to the city. We bought stuff according to our needs for a month.

"Okay. But I need to talk to her first."

She stared at me.

"Fine. Don't stress her though" She walked off.

I pushed the door open and stepped in. She sat up immediately.

"What are you doing here?" She asked. Her voice was weak.

"I have to tell you something."

"I don't wanna hear anything from you" she turned her face to the side.

"Listen, there are things you don't know about your family. You don't wanna know how you brother is?"

This made her turn her face to me.
I sat down on the other bed, right in front of her. She shuffled uncomfortably so I shifted a bit far.

"Do you know why your father left when you were a kid?"

She nodded." Zak told me. He was depressed after mum's d-death."

I nodded as well. "He joined a gang which was not very big at that time. He was chose as their leader a few years later. You uncle knew about him but he didn't tell anyone." I sighed. "Since your father left, your uncle was your guardian. He bribed the lawyer and got more than half of what your father left for you both. He stole your brother's share of wealth"

She was silent so I continued. "Your uncle and father are not biological brothers. Your uncle, Salim is adopted. When your grandfather died, he left some property to your uncle. Boss wants revenge for both the things."

"Anyone can see his greed for money." She spoke. I could sense the anger in her voice.

"Your father wants him to return the money and also, take Zakariyah as his son-in-law."

"Are you kidding me?" She was surprised.

"No"

"That was a rhetorical question, silly" she chuckled.

"What about me?" She asked curiously.

He wanted you dead.

Should I tell her the truth?
I should.

"Firstly, I'm sorry for whatever happened that night. I wasn't in my right mind. I'm really sorry." I hurried my words. "It was as if I was bewitched. Your father's words really got me."

I sighed. There.

"F-father?"

I nodded.

"H-He.." It didn't take her long to break down into sobs. I didn't know what to do. I'm not good with tears.

One of the reasons I can't handle kids.

"Um....uh..don't cry" I said as softly as I could.

Then I continued so as to distract her. "We have a plan though. You'll be safe. I'll never reapeat that, I swear.
Your death has been proved. Your uncle is guilty and he has agreed for everything your father had demanded." I explained

"Thats great" she said halfheartedly. I gulped.
No one should suffer so much. I hate my boss.

"Just one question.Will I be able to meet my family?"

I nodded. "Secretly, of course. After everything is settled."

She nodded.
The door creaked open.

"We should get going" said Basith. "Maria and Hiba are coming with us. Have to drop Hiba at her friend's house. Saad's in charge of the house and the kids."

"Okay" I stood up.

"We're coming too" Zaid and Kareem said in unison, their hands on their hips, as they entered the room.

My eyebrows rose. I turned to look at Qibriyah who nodded.

"But where will you guys go? We are going to the hospital. The doctor is going to give her injections. She has been naughty, you know. If you guys don't behave we'll give you injections too." I warned them.

"Don't worry. Ayesha's already given me some when we played doctor. It doesn't hurt at all" Kareem told Zaid as everyone laughed at his cuteness.

"We should take them to a park for a while. They'll enjoy." Qibriyah suggested as Basith nodded. "We'll go to the central park. It's a good place" he said.

While everyone was getting in the car after a thousand instructions to Saad, my phone buzzed.

Boss:
I'm sending Jack and Phil to the city right now. You have to meet them there and discuss something. Nothing serious, just some questions.You'll see them at the central park.
