Third person's POV

She rubbed her sweaty palms on her lose wrapper which looked like it was about to fall from her waist any minute from now, wiping the beads of sweat that formed on her forehead. Her hands are shaky,but she still tried to adjust her hijab. As unbelievable as it may sound,this is the first time she's wearing hijab to meet someone apart from wearing it to pray. She has done a lot of things in her life,but she never dared to do anything to him. After being informed that he's calling her,her heart beat accelerated to 100000km. She knew she was in deep trouble.

With another session of many heart calming invocations, she entered the living room with a Salaam.

He lift his head to look at her with a stoic face before answering her Salaam. But by the way he answered it,it just confirmed her thoughts, she was in deep trouble. She made her way to couch opposite him and sat down.

"Ina wuni Ya Haidar?" She greeted in her most respective tone

"Lafiya" he answered nonchalantly still not looking up from his phone. They kept quiet for over five minutes. With Each and every a second that passed, she felt more scared than she already was.

"Why?" He asked in a dangerously low voice still not looking up from his phone

"Em...ummm..why...what?" She stuttered even she's well aware of what he's talking about

"Zahra don't make me repeat myself and most definitely don't act dumb,I know you know what I'm talking about" he said this time looking into her with a look she couldn't understand, but it just added more fuel to the fire

"Wallahi I didn't invite her,I didn't even know she was coming, she only told me when she was five minute's away from the house" she said speaking honestly her voice breaking down a bit,she's really telling the truth,and currently her stomach is just turning and with each second that pass,she feels like she was about to die

"Why are you against Khairi so much?" He asked again,his face still stoic

"It's... It's.... Just...t..that...she's
..not good....enough ...for...Yaya" she stuttered, she knew she has no specific reason. It's just like those kind of situations that when you felt jealous of someone over some petty thing and then jealously turns to endless hatred,it makes sense right?, she thought

"Not good for him?" He raised a brow unbelievably "that's not your decision to make and neither it is in your right to dare say that cuz as far as I know she's never done anything to you,she's not like that''

Her fears turns to anger!, as always this is what they always do " Oh really,go ahead,that's what you all say. She's not like this,She's not like that,you always compare me to her,and in your eyes all,I'm always the bad one when it comes to her,she's always perfect to you all,always has always will be to you "she yelled crying, she's hurt too, for once,she just wants them to stop comparing her to that good for nothing Khairi

" what?"he asked off guarded,he never expected her to say this. He never expected Zahra to feel like this,insecure. She was always the Qureish that's presence leaves everyone stunned,she Carry herself with so much pride and her presence oozes confidence, that's the Zahra they all know

"Just for get it,can I go now?" She wiping her tears,putting on her poker face back on. She hated herself for breaking down in front of him,she promises herself never to let anyone sees her weakness, yet this man sitting in front of her just did.

"Zahra, Khairi's not perfect. No one is. And no one dares to judge you too,we never did"he said speaking honestly but she looked at him unbelievably.

"Yes you do,it's only Hamza that never sees me like but now he does,he'd been brainwashed by that so called wife of his"she replied yelling at the end

"For once Zahra,move in,forget about that Hamza,he's married for God's sake and he love his wife,and I most definitely won't tolerate my wife to be being in love with another man other than me" Haidar said angrily. How dare she utter another man's name in his presence, no,he won't ever let that happen, Zahra is all his,his alone and no other man can take her away from him,he'll make sure of that

"Why don't you just call this off,we both don't like the wedding anyway,I seriously do not get what's with this family and arranged marriages" she said angrily at the beginning before muttering the past part to herself but he heard,she's still unaware of where this new found confidence is coming from.

He smiled a bit,seeing that she's slowly being her old self again,unlike how scared she was when she first came in. Yes,he knew she was scared,it was too obvious, who wouldn't see it,her hand's were shaking and her hijab is in side out,she's sweating despite the fact that there's an air conditioner in the room,it took everything in him to stiffen his laughter when he saw her, she's just so beautiful and cute. There's something about the real Zahra that makes him love her "there isn't any arranged marriages in this family,it's just the ladies that think so" he said casually still resisting the urge to let her see him smile, because he needs to be strict with her for now,She's gone out of control.

She shot her eyes wide open "But Yaya's marriage was arranged" she stated like it's the most obvious fact in the world

He shrugged leaning back on the chair crossing a leg over the other "You think so?" He asked while she nodded

"Oh that ain't it,the Man's deeply in love with her*laughs* he almost had a panic attack when he thought I was getting married to her,it was so damn funny. I know Khairi's nice and all,but there's only one woman for me,and it's not her,she's Ayaan's already, always had and forever will be" he added looking into her eyes

"Then why don't you just marry the girl you like" she said looking back into his eyes too

He sighed "I am getting married to her"

"Oh great!, so I'm gonna get a co-wife before the year ends,this should be good" she said sarcastically looking away trying not to let him see her tear filled eyes. Just thinking about him marrying another wife makes her feel something weird,it couldn't be!.......jealousy. Oh no,
But it's not possible is it?!?

He mentally smacked his head,she doesn't get this "Zahra I'm not marrying another wife. Not now,hopefully never" he trailed off

Now,she's more confused "But you said.....and...oh!" Her eyes widened in surprise staring at him in disbelief

"Yes" he said smirking while she blushed looking away. All her nervousness vanished in thin air. All those negative feelings she was getting about him was all gone. But her hatred towards Khairi and Adda Hami is still there,but hopefully, one day,it'll go away.

He couldn't be more mesmerised by how cute she was and her change of emotions. From being scared of him,to being nervous around him to feeling free around him. She was laughing hard and talking freely with him now,he has lost track of time.

He promises himself he will bring back the Zahra he fell in love with. The one everybody loves and will continue to love. He knew it would be a long journey filled with many obstacles,but he's willing to go through all for her. He will bring back His Zahra.
