A big shout out to thatdarkpoet. Thankyou for all your vote and support. 

I rushed down to canteen I might not know about leena's nature but I sure don't want to make anyone mad at me.

I was surprised to see leena already got the company. It was a thin and tall girl. They both where laughing. I made my to them. Leena caught me coming and shooted to next chair making space for me. She is sweet established.

"Hey. Haniya meet tia. She works in the production department." Leena said.
"Hey" tia said. I smiled at her as I said. "Hi" to her.
Tia looked cool. Tall and slim. Her makeup was going just perfect with her skin. Her maroon color top was only visible as she was sitting.

We all three sat and chatted for the whole lunch. It was good to talk without worrying about anything. Yes apart from this that how would I offered my asar salah. With every one present.  Ya Allah help me.

We came back to our working desk. We weren't loaded with work. But still we where so busy. I was going through some papers which where something related to legal patents. I have to read and confirm them before handing them to the Mr.Nazi. The legal advisors and lawyers of the company.

Someone cleared it's throat. I looked up to see. Mr.Anson. The PA of mr.rehan.
"Ms. Haniya. Could you follow me." He said and turned.
It took me many seconds before I could compensate what exactly he said. I looked at leena who was already witnesses my confusion and horror. I gave her a nod and began to walk.

I slowly walked behind him. Thousands thought in my mind floating around. We stopped in front of cabinet. He pushed through the glass doors and so did I. Am i getting promoted. No haniya. It's your first day. Really. The cabinet was empty. Except few boxes and an big table along with a black chair. I think this cabin is unoccupied.

"Ms. Haniya. You can pray here. It's empty. None of our staff has any Muslim female, you are first. You can pray here." He looked at me as he said. I slowly began to process and take in what he just said.

"Ahh. Is this because. I was praying in the hall. I am sorry. I didn't though anyone could get offended. I mean..." I started but he cut me off.
"No miss. Haniya. Mr.Rehan asked me to do so. For your convenient. He himself is Muslim. He didn't got offended. No one did." He said.

"Did mr.rehan said to do this." I spoke my thoughts. I didn't meant to say them loud.
"Haa" said mr.anson.
Oh. He didn't heard.
"Well. Miss. Haniya. Mr. Rehan saw you praying..."  he started but he was irritated. Explain me over and over again.
"No. I get it. Thankyou. Could you say thankyou for me to mr.rehan. I will thank him personally too. Next time I. see him." I said and he just nodded.

I left the cabinet along with mr.anson. I was smiling. How stupid of me. Allah thankyou for making everything easy for me. I am sure when say this to ammi she will say that's all because of your good deeds and regular salah.

I sat on the chair of my desk still smiling.
"Hey. Did they fire you." Leena asked almost leaning on my desk.
"What no." I said.
"Well. Why were you smiling." She asked and I told her what happened.
"Strange." Leena said.
"Leena don't use too much of your brain. He is fellow muslims and he understood hence he helped me out." I said stating the obvious facts.

"No. Not that." She said. What's wrong with her. She signed and then began to speak.
"You know tia said to me. That mr.rehan is not amongst the good people. He hardly appreciate anyone. He..." she spoke but my azhan notification made a loud noise.
Oh I forgot to keep it on silent or least vibration. I hurriedly fished for my phone and off it. I left my stuck breath out.

Leena gave me irritated look and I gave her a sheepish smile. We got back to work. Files after files we worked.

I offered my salah in the cabinet. Two hours later our working hours where finished. Unlike last place I don't have to run to catch my train. Our house was just few kilometers away. I took an auto. No cab. Still saying money for Danish's tuition fees. Though I can take his study on my own but I am too busy with my own work.

"Assalamu Aalaykum." I yelled as I made my way inside. Still few boxes where lying here and there.
"Walakumus  Salaam." I came in to see ammi and danish sitting on the couch. They smiled looking at me. The reason I live is them.

"How was your first day at work appi." Danish asked jumping on his place.
I chuckled a little at his enthusiasm.
"It was good. Allhamdullilah." I said as I took a seat beside him.
"Tell me how was your first day at college." I asked him.
"It was okay. I made no friends yet." He said with sadness in his voice.
"It's okay every day comes with a new opportunity." I said to him.

"Here" ammi said handing me a glass of water.
"Jazak Allah." I said before sipping the water.
She sat in front of me on the chair. We still need to keep things on it's right place. We where busy with danish admission and all that and ammi couldn't not do it all alone all by herself.

We all had dinner. Abba had it in his room. I wish things could get better for him. We all worked in shifting and unboxing things a little. Until it was late night.
Ammi and I slept in one room while danish and  abbu in other.
I was again sitting by the window. Ammi was lost in deep thinking lying on the bed.

"Ammi are you sleeping." I asked her.
"No." She replied turning towards me.
"Ammi. Why did bade abbu never got married again after rizwan's mother..." I asked.
"Why are you asking this now." She asked.
"I don't know. Just wondering." I said pulling my few hair strands behind my ears.

She gave a deep sigh before speaking.
"Honestly even I don't know. I would be hard for him to. You love only ones haniya. It's so hard to overcome after your heart is broken once." She said deeply in thought.
Yes I know that too very well. His picture again came to mind so badly I want to overcome.
"Even I tried so many times. I and your abba tried so hard to convense him and then finally he gave up. She broke his trust so badly. That he never in his entire life trusted any women." She said.

" I am scared that. What if you too..." she said and I knew she has tears in her eyes.
But that made me wonder will I trust anyone like I used to on rizwan. No that idiot. But i don't think everyone is just like him. But what if someone again breaks you. No chance I am already broken and I won't let anyone in. Never. And also I have devoted my life to my family. I have to be there for them so no person needs to come in my life. I will move on. We all will.

"Ammi. I am sleep. You too should sleep." I said and went to washroom. Standing in front of the mirror I looked at myself.
'You are past rizwan. Past. I don't want to even think about you. I have lost everything because of your mistake. You got blind rizwan. That you even failed to see the love I ever had for you. You failed to see the reality in my eyes. I touched my left cheek. My eyes began to tear up. I remmber where he slapped. But what hurt more was not my cheek but my heart. It's still unbelievable what you did. I will hate you all my life rizwan. Not because you are the reason that we came on the street not because we had to face all the difficulties because of you. But that you broke me. My trust. Rizwan. How hard I have to try to forget you. Not a single day has passed that you don't cross my mind. You are always there always. And that makes me hurt you more. And more.'
