Sometimes the person we love most walk away when we need them next to us.
Sometimes things happened that we never expected.
Sometimes we expected so much from someone who never really cared about us.
Something happens in Maham life that turned her...

"Maham where are you lost?" I look at Aunty and shake my head. She raised her eyebrow and look at something. I follow her gaze and sigh before turning off the tap.
I was washing dishes from the breakfast and start thinking about Uzair. I was so busy in my thought that I didn't realise that I already finish my task and let the water flowing. I dried my hand and turned around to face her. She looks at me worriedly and hold my face gently in her hands.
"Are you okay? I am seeing you lost somewhere. Do you want to share it?" She looks at me with a look that I craved since I left my parents. I feel tears burning in my eyes and shake my head.
"I am okay Aunty. I just wasn't feeling well." I hate to lie to her, but I can't make her worry. She looks at me for a few minutes and nodded.
"Okay, but if you need me or want to share anything then, I am right here for you." She smiled at me softly and take her hands off my face. I nodded and saw as she turned around to leave. Suddenly she stops and turned back to me again.
"Call me Mom. You are just like Ayeza to me." I nodded with a teary smile.
"Yes, Mom." She smiled and leave for the kitchen. I finish the rest of my work and went upstairs in the room to take some rest. I sigh and lay in bed and start think about that incident again.
It has been a month since we come back from Istanbul. Things between Uzair and I were getting better. There weren't any awkwardness between us anymore. We started to talk and live like a normal couple. We both sleep in bed but on our sides and I try my best not to go too close to him. We were doing good, but then I saw something that caused us to fight and things started to fall apart.

"So how are you?" Samairah asked me as we sit on the chairs and put our tray of food on the table.
"I am fine. What about you? I heard from Sila that Ahmed is still after you?" I smirk and raised my eyebrow teasing her. She signs and rolled her eyes while nodding her head.
"Yeah. I just don't know why can't he leave me alone. I mean, I know he is trying to help me, but I want to do things by myself."
"But why?" I asked but I know her reply. She look and raises her eyebrow at me.
"You know me Maham. I never like asking someone to help me." She says what I know she was going to say. I nodded and take a bite of my burger.
"I know, but he loves you Samairah." I laugh when I saw her wide eyes and she choked on her drink.
"What?" She yelled, making the people near look at us. I glared at her but nodded.
"Yeah. I know him and I can tell he has fallen for you. I know it will be difficult, but give him a chance. I promise, he wouldn't hurt you like him." I look at her and put my hand on her to give it a light squeeze. She looksdown and I can tell what she was thinking.
