Mumtaz and Ahad drove back to the mansion. Umeed was sitting in the lounge when they walked in.
"Assalamualaikum." She greeted.
"Mumtaz… come I will show you your room."
Mumtaz didn't know what else to say. She silently followed her and walked to the room. Mumtaz was dazed to see the room so beautifully set. The lamps, bedsheet, curtains everything was perfect. And she couldn't ignore how much doing this must have hurt her.
"Okay. If you need anything, call Hussaina Apa. I have told her about you." Umeed said and was about to walk away when Mumtaz gently held her arm.
"Umeed? Why are you being so formal? We are friends, remember?" Mumtaz said slowly.
"We were friends. Friends don't treat each other like you did." Umeed said bitterly, removing her hand and walked outside.
