Meant To Be Together.

Chapter 6.

Uzair.

"How is she doing?" Mom asked Sila on the phone as I silently continue to eat my breakfast. 

"It will take time. Don't worry, she will be okay. Take care." They hung up after exchanging their goodbyes. Mom sighs and put her phone down before continuing to do what she was doing before the call. 

"Is everything okay there?" Dad asked Mom. She shrugged. 

"Maham is not doing well. She is blaming herself for what happened. Sila and Hussyan are worried about her. They think that Maham will do something to herself."

"She wouldn't do anything like that. She is strong and she will get over this." Dad assured Mom. She smiled at him slightly and get back to her breakfast. 

I know it was all my mistake. I shouldn't be there alone with her when I know how her in-laws are. I should have called someone to help but I couldn't leave her there like that. I don't know what is going to happen now. I just want everything to be okay and I will do anything to do it, if that means I have to personally apologize Umair then I will. 

I finish my breakfast silently and leave for office. I drive slowly thinking how should I do it. I know Umair didn't want to see my face right now and I can't see Maham like that when it wasn't her fault. I sigh and shake my head mentally to get it out of my mind right now and to focus on what I have to do today. 
When I reach office, I park my car in the private parking before getting out. As I walk in the building, the receptionist says her good morning before going back to her work. I walk straight toward the elevator and step in when it came empty. I leaned back and close my eyes with a sigh as I ride up to my office. I didn't want to be here, but I had to because Hussyan and Ahmed are at home taking care of Maham. I will have to reschedule all meetings for next week. 

I open my eyes when I heard the ding and the door open. I step out and walk toward my room to the end of the hallway. I nodded at Henry when I pass his desk and enter in my office. I drop on the chair and take a deep breath before starting my work.

With a heavy sigh, I stood up and close all the files before putting it in a pile on my desk and walk out of my room. I lock my office and walk to the elevator to go down and drive back home. It is almost midnight, when I decide to leave. I would still be working if my Mom wouldn't tell me to come home. 

It is not that I don't want to go. I just don't want to see anyone. These past few days have been very hard for me. It doesn't matter how much they told me not to feel guilty, I can't help myself doing that. I couldn't bare the pain that because of me Maham life is ruined. I don't know what to do, but I do know that whatever it takes to make all this better, I will do it without thinking twice. 

When I park my car in the driveway, I saw lights in the living room on meaning that Mom is in there still waiting for me. I sigh, get out and prepare myself for another lecture on not taking care of myself. When I reach in living room, I saw Mom sitting and watching tv but turned around when she heard me. She gives me a small smile and stood up to walk toward me. 

"Go freshen up, I will warm up your dinner." She says softly and patted my cheek as she walk past me. I frowned at her behaviour. I shrugged and walk upstairs in my room to change and to get fresh. 

When I step in dinning room, I saw Mom setting everything on the table. She smiled and pointed to the chair for me to sit down. I smile slightly and walk toward her. I kiss her cheek and sit down on a chair. 

"Thank you Mom." She smiled and sit on the other side asking me about me my day. I told her about work going on and meeting that is in Canada. I had to reschedule it, but after whatever happened, Hussyan and Ahmed stays at home with their sister and I had to reschedule it again.
