1795 Words
HOOR POV: I checked the time. It was 9:30 pm. "Am dead!"I said while cursing under my breath and hurriedly grabbed my bag and all things before walking out of the building. I reached the parking lot while scrolling on my phone. Lost in my world when I heard someone clear his throat and I looked up to find my brother staring at me with an annoyed face. I smiled at him apologetically. "You are late again Hoor." He said while looking at his watch and staring back at me while shaking his head like he was disappointed. "Not my fault I had overly much work." Saying that I bit my lips to stop myself from smiling. We both stared into each other eyes for a minute before my brother break it and walked toward the driving seat without saying anything and started the car. Not wanting to listen to his lecture I didn't waste any second and also got in the car. "What we will tell Mama?" I heard him asking me as I turned my face toward him and shrugged my shoulder. "I don't know," I said then looked out of the window looking at the cars. "She will say nothing to you but to me." I heard him mumble to himself making a small smile form on my face as I looked back at him. "Who told you to give me so much work? now face the consequences." He stayed quiet and focused on his driving before glancing at me. And yes I was his secretary. My brother run his Industry and I worked under him. I placed my head on the car window and a sigh left me making me look down at my hands before looking back at the road. Thoughts started to fill in my mind making me close my eyes as I felt a sudden pain in my chest. Sometimes I wonder what would it be like to control something. To prevent something from happening horrible to you. And If only I had powers I would do anything to stop horrible things from happening. Tears filled in my eyes without my knowing as one tear slipped on my hand making me look down again. I bit my lips and tried to... I just wanted to forget everything so badly. Everything that had happened to me. The past brings only pain. Why can't we just forget and pretend like it never happened? But the fact that the things that happened to you, tore you so much that the wounds take years to heal. The wound that I had was yet to heal. "Hoor, you are crying?" I heard my brother's worried voice as I silently wiped my tears when I noticed that he was looking at me. " I'm fine," I gave him a small smile and whispered before looking out of the window not wanting him to see me in this state. I blinked my eyes when I notice that the car was parked on the side making me bite my lips because I was so on my own that I didn't realize when we had stopped "Tell me what's wrong please." His voice was soft but demanding this time making me glance at him as I shooked my head and tried to smile again. "Nothing's wrong... Really." He sighed. "My little hoor you know better than anyone that I will always know if something is bothering you without you even saying it to me? Then now tell me what's got into your mind?" He stared at me and wait for me to say something as my lips started to wiggle and my eyes suddenly filled with tears again I tried to hold them but they betrayed me. "I feel di-disgusted. From myself. I tried... I really tried bhai, to not think but it-its always came to my mind. No matter what I do it haunts me bhai. The past doesn't let me breathe. Bhai please, please just take the pain away. It's getting too much and I... I am not that strong to hold the pain." I hid my face in my hands and let my tears out as I felt my chest tighten and I cried like a child. Arms wrapped around me as my brother pulled me toward him and I hugged him and started to cry harder. "Shh my little one, I am here to hold you. You are stronger than anyone my little Hoor. Always remember Allah will never test you beyond your capacity. Just don't lose hope." And just like always my brother's smoothing help me to calm down a little as I nod my head but couldn't stop myself from saying. "When everyone in our family gets to know this. They will be disgusted with me and they will never want to see me." I tightly closed my eyes while imagining it. The thoughts were hurting me but it was the truth. When people will know they will turn their back on me. AZLAN POV: It's a pain to see someone whom you love so much getting hurt. I know she was breaking from the inside. Seeing her crying like this hurt me so much. Why did destiny do this to her? I rubbed my hands over her back and arms trying to calm her and it did. We stayed quiet letting our breaths fill the heavy silence. "Let's go before Mama calls us." I heard her mumble and she broke the hug and stare outside of the car window a gesture from her that she don't want to speak anymore. My eyes stayed on her a little longer making my heart at ease that she was okay now. But deep down I know she wasn't. I nodded my head silently to her and started the car. HOOR POV: When we reached home. I noticed the lights were off. Looks like our parents were sleeping. I looked at my brother to see him grinning at me and wriggling his eyebrows happy over the fact that Mama and Baba were sleeping and we won't get scolded by them. A small smile formed on my lips. We quietly opened the main door and entered without making any noise. "You both are late. Again." The lights suddenly turned on. I froze in my place as I looked at my brother to see fear all over his face. Who knows the CEO of Azlan Industry can be scared of his mother. Poor soul. "Assalam-o-Alikum ami (mom) you weren't sleeping?" I asked while nervously laughing she looked at me making me bite my lips as I looked at her feet like they were the most interesting thing. "Walaikum Assalam and it's not my answer where were you both? Azlan?" My mother said looking at me and then at my brother as he looked at Ami in alarm. "Ami uhh, we were stuck in the traffic." My head snaps towards him. Really? And looked back at my mother. She looked at us for a minute then said. "Come with me you both." With that, she turned around and walked toward the living room leaving the two helpless souls behind. Who did nothing. I looked at my brother. "It's all your fault," I whispered to him. "Shut up." It's been one and a half hours since and my brother was sitting in the living room, listening to our mother scolding us for being late. I yawned. "I'm leaving you both right now but never get late again." With that, she turned around and went towards her room. Finally!!!! I walked toward my room and placed my all things and make my way toward the washroom and take a shower. I changed my clothes into comfy clothes and lay on my bed. The moment came into my mind making me think about what had happened a while ago. I hide my face in my pillow in embarrassment. Ugh ya Allah. I was so stupid why did I do that? I shouldn't let that happen in front of Bhai( brother). Now he might be worried just because of my stupidity. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes to forget about it but suddenly his face came into my mind making my eyes snap open as my heart skip a beat. And as much as I dont want to think but I still end up wondering what he might be doing right now. Was he awake or was he sleeping? What does he look like now? Would he remember me? I shake my head closed my eyes and scold myself for thinking like that. Why would...why would he think about me? His hand were on my thighs and were coming dangerously closer. "NO PLEASE!!." I begged him while trying to free my hands. Ya Allah, please save me today. Please. "I have never seen such beauty in my life". I cried harder and harder. Please someone save me. "Ple- please!! Don't do that to me I'm begging you. Please let me go". His hand came to my shirt and tore it open. " NOOO!!!." I got up gasping and breathing heavily and looked around terrified before sighing in relief knowing that I was in my room, in my house, and safe. I grabbed the water bottle from my nightstand and take a deep sip. My heart was still beating so fast. I grabbed the b take a deep to calm myself down. I climbed out of my bed and make my way toward the bathroom to freshen up. •°•°•°•°•°•°•° "Next week we are all going to Pakistan." I choked on my bite and looked at my mother in shock. All? She was not mentioning me, right? "What!" I gasped while hoping that she must be joking. "You heard me we are all.going.to.Pakistan."She said while grabbing her plates. "B-but ami(mom).." I was cut off by my mother glaring. I looked at my brother's helplessness, hoping that he will help but that i***t was smirking and didn't even look my way. "You can all go I have work to do," I said while standing up from my seat not wanting to argue with anyone they know I can't go there. I can never face the rest of my family. Never. "Hoor! When I said that we are all going then we are all going." I looked at her then at my brother and walked out of the kitchen. ????
