بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

Zaid was lost in his thoughts thinking of Asiya whilst checking his watch every now and then to see the time, he almost lost it when he heard a soft knock and he ordered for the person outside to come in. His secretary came in holding piles of files in her hand while cat walking with her heels, flapping her eyelashes and fidgeting her shirt, Zaid cleared his throat and ask her what was the problem without even looking her up to her. She kept the files on his desk telling him that these are the files he has asked for and started reading on her notepad his schedule for the day
* You have a meeting with Mr. John and his team members regarding the vacancies we have (HR manager) at 10:00am
* At 12:00pm you have appointment with your doctor for check up
* At 2:00pm you will pick Mr. Matthias from the airport, eat lunch at The Aviary NYC. I have already booked for two and Sir Mr. Matthias like the Manhattans wake and bake.

Zaid sighs and said darn it, his Secretary was agitated and asked him if everything was okay, he now told her to reschedule his appointment with the doctor and bring his Empresso coffee while dismissing her.

At 9:50am dot Zaid phoned his secretary and told her to be ready for the meeting. They reached the meeting hall at 9:55am dot because Zaid hates being late nor does he like someone to make him wait. Luckily for the HR manager and his team members they reached before him as they know well who Mr. Zaid Ibn Malik is. After concluding the meeting Zaid told his manager to inform his driver that they will be going out in the next 30mins. His secretary wanted to inquire about his meeting with Mr. Matthias but went against it in other not to anger him. 30mins later they drove to Asiya's university

Asiya's phone beeps as soon as she exit the examination room she checked it Z appeared on her screen she then smiled and eagerly picked up the phone saying her Salam after exchanging pleasantries Z told her to come outside, she was like I thought you're in the office Z don't tell me you are here to pick me up. Z chuckles and said so what if I am here to see my reason to live? She then coughed and ended the call her cheeks turning red as she curses her self for blushing. She walked out to the college gate and saw Z standing outside his car waiting for her, her heart flutters sighting him. He smiled as he set his eyes on her, he thought to his self seeing this beautiful soul elate me Ya Rabb I wonder what holds me from seeing her worth and now that I know how important she is to me I will treasure her for the rest of my life. He held her hands in his and placed a gentle kiss on it making her blush harder telling him that people are seeing them whilst he scoffs and said I only have my eyes on you asal, I cannot see anyone but you, I cannot focus in the office as I think of you. She told him to stop flattering her trying to hide her face out of embarrassment. Z said asal I don't know when you will ever get use to me around you and stop blushing. They sat in the backseat with Z holding her hands afraid to let go. He asked her about her test and she told him tik tak ( ok ok). He ordered for the driver to wait for them outside and he then looked Asiya in the eyes and told her how he couldn't focus earlier today and it makes him go nuts that is why he decided to stop by and see her before heading to an important meeting. He then dialed Ruman's number asking about her whereabouts she told him she's almost there.

Ruman and her friend Natalia arrived. Ruman went out of her car and knocked on Zaid's window. Zaid wind his window signaling at his sister as she interrupted their "we time" he kissed Asiya's forehead and told her that he had to go. Ruman awww saying how I wish I have captured this romantic scene by Mr. And Mrs. Romantico. Zaid knocked her head telling her to stop embarrassing his wife. They bade goodbye though both of them never wanted to. Ruman drove teasing Asiya all the way, making her blush again and again and again. When they didn't take the Hudson route Asiya became lost and asked Ruman where they are heading, Ruman and Natalia teasingly told her that they are about to sale her head and it was an order from Zaid. She laughed and panicked at the same time thinking that that was why Zaid have been nothing but good to her these days, she pushed back her stupid thoughts saying there's no way Zaid could ever do that to her and yet again they teased her saying aww lover girl, you shouldn't have trust him because he will be the end of you Mart akhi. They took the park slope route which makes Asiya even more restless they stopped at Roman K salon. They stepped out of the car, Asiya was perplexed saying what are we doing in the salon Ruman raising her eyebrows, Ruman and Natalia hushed her saying just come with us. She gave them benefit of the doubt and follow suite. They were welcome. When the manager came down Natalia side hugs her exchanging pleasantries. She then started talking to the manager with unfamiliar language leaving Asiya in darkness, she now show them to a room and called the beauticians to start their work without further delay. It took 3hours before Asiya's facials, and all was done. Ruman told them to apple nude makeup for her and they did. Even Asiya couldn't recognize herself, her skin felt like velvet and fluffy. Her long hair was tied in a bunny tail. She looks at her self in to the mirror again and said Oh Allah indeed You are Perfect in Your Creation. Ruman makes the payment and they left. She now turned and look and them asking what is the occasion but none of them replied her. Ruman asked Natalia if the dress that she designed have arrived in a hush tune not wanting Asiya to hear and Natalia replied yes we can pick it up at Vivaldi boutique, Ruman then said perfect now let's fine a decent restaurant and eat before heading there Natalia then nodded in agreement they went to babbo restaurant Asiya ordered for Pasta alla Norma
(penne and eggplant timballo, ricotta salata) while Ruman and Natalia ordered for Carpaccio di Tonno*
( raw tuna carpaccio, artichokes.) Their orders came and they enjoyed their food in total silence as all of them are hungry and exhausted. After that they drove to Vivaldi boutique to take Asiya's dress before heading home to get ready for the dinner party that will hold tonight. Ruman checked her phone and saw a message from Zaid inquiring about their whereabouts, she ignored the message saying I will get back to him later. They took the dress and head to Hudson. Upon reaching the Maliki's mansion Natalia went straight to Salma's room to check if her dress fits her, they side hugged and exchanged pleasantries and Natalia started Salma's makeup before Asiya and Ruman take bath. After finishing their make overs and wearing their dresses Natalia, Salma and Ruman headed to the venue while Asiya wait for her Mr. Perfecto, he arrived after 10mins wearing his creamy white Armani suits looking dashing and he couldn't even recognize his Reina, he couldn't take off his eyes on her, he then walked classically to her and gave her his hand saying shall we asal, she simply nodded her head. He whispered into her ears you look resplendent my lady making her blush he added I feel like swallowing you your majesty making her more redden, he said you better get use to my compliments by now my lady or you will keep on flushing forever, she then smile and look to the other side of the road avoiding eye contact with him. Zaid heart was beating speedily as he almost lost his sane because of how he feels towards her. He thought to his self I have been in love in the past but what I am feeling now for Asiya is incomparable to wait I felt before. They reached Hilton hotel after 30mins of drive. They walk hand in hand looking pretty pretty together. They found their seats with their names written boldly on the table. Asiya whispers this decoration looks pleasing so do you said Zaid and Asiya was like you don't look bad yourself to Z, he chuckles and muttered a thank you for the compliment. The party started and Mr. Malik announces Zaid to be the CEO of M&H company. People from everywhere started trolling to congratulate Mr. & Mrs Zaid. His phone started ringing he picked it up and whispered to the other end and then excused his self saying he will be back in jiffy. Asiya felt all alone for almost 2hours without any sign of Zaid or her sisters in laws. She then decided to go out for some fresh air on her way out she saw something that draws her attention and almost makes her want to break down into broken pieces. That clown kissing her husband and he is hugging her to his self. He's cheating on her with that clown. She can't believe her eyes, she just slowly walked out in other not to be noticed. She left the place and took a taxi not knowing where to go for this is too much for her to take, she just wanted to go somewhere far and never to return. This is not right, I cannot do this, I hate deception, I cannot do this anymore. Just when I thought he has finally started to have feelings for me then this. I cannot forgive him. She cried and cried and cried till there's no more tears remaining in her eyes. The driver keeps asking where is she headed, she didn't give him any response, with her shaking voice she said take me to midtown.
