Amira Sultan p.o.v
1 week later ..
I was woken up by the sound of Azaan , the call to prayer , it echoed everywhere , closing my eyes. I listened to the azaan while answering as well . The peace and calmness that splurged was soothing my heart . No matter how much shaytan ( devil ) whispers negative thoughts in my mind , it erases only by the thought that Allah s.w.t is still by my side and that is enough for me .
After I finish my salah , wiping tears I look ahead , the sunlight is slowly covering the black sky .
Sighing I got up folding my mat , I kept it in my night stand .
Now since it's been a week, I am living in this room , to tell the truth it's twice as big as my own room . The room consists of a queen size bed which I have never imagined sleeping on . There was a beautiful small chandelier around the four corners of the ceiling which light helped me sleep peacefully at night .
There was also a night stand beside the bed , with a moon shaped table lamp on it . A 3 door wardrobe which is completely empty right now . There was a dressing table on the left hand side as well . Overall I have never imagined being in a room like this … it's quite luxurious .
About those 4 kids , I was terrified thinking Khalid is a married man but I got to know , they are his deceased sister's kids .
Rabiya Aunty told me there story , my heart ache thinking about those poor kids , I know how heart-wrenching it is , living without a mother is difficult , it use to suffocate me thinking that no one in this world love me truly , I use to think how unlucky I am but Allumdulliah ( all praise belong to Allah ) now that I know Allah s.w.t love me more that 70 mother's and each day my heart recognise the love of my lord .
Back to the topic , I don't know why those kids hate me . I tried to talk to them but everytime I came near them , the oldest kid yelled at me like I just snatched the last slice of his pizza .
I remember his words that day. She is just like her . I don't know what he meant by that .
After I showered and dressed in Black salwar suit , I didn't wear my abaya since no non - mahram lives here and I am quite relaxed but I did wear my hijab because I am still not comfortable around Khalid who doesn't even glance my way . Not that I care .
Knock
Knock
Opening the door I was greeted by Ayesha Aunty , she took care of the kid , while Rabiya aunty was head of all staff . I thought she was Khalid 's mother or relative but I found out she works here for a long time .
" Assalamualaikum " I greeted her with a smile.
" Walekum Assalam sweety , hope you slept well " she patted my cheeks , she is in her late 40s .
She adores me .
She said I remind her daughter .
" Rabiya said breakfast is ready , come soon " with which she left .
I nodded ….. following her .
I tried to look at Khalid's room door , which I absolutely forgot . I don't know which room he stays in because I stay in my room most of the time .
Hence I cascaded down the spiral staircase that led me to a humongous hall , which was very beautiful and full of things .
Even though I am living here for a week now I am still not familiar with the room and directions of the kitchen and dining table .
The kids were already seated waiting for Khalid to come so they could start eating. It's the rule of this house , everyone will eat together .
Sayra tried to wave at me but Imran grabbed her hand midway throwing daggers at her , while he ignored my existence . I don't know why he hates me so much .
" Assalamualaikum " a girl wearing a pink hijab came in my direction . She is new , I haven't seen her before .
" Walekum Assalam" I was quite confused.
" I am Nafisa , I am a household helper " she is my age .
" You are Khalid bhai's wife , Masha Allah you are so pretty " she beamed with happiness .
" You are the daughter of Rabiya aunty " I confirm my suspicions .
" Yeah , how do you know? " she look surprised .
" Well , your features are quite similar, " I smiled .
" Nafisa , sit down Khalid must be coming down soon" Rabiya aunty ordered Nafisa , nodding her head , she sat beside .
We both started chatting , I was quite happy since there is someone my age , I can talk to at least .
All of a sudden the table becomes silent as Khalid walks in with someone clinging onto his arm .
With the same poker expression , he sat on the head of the member chair while he didn't even pull a chair for the girl …
The girl looks like some model , beautiful , gorgeous would be less to compliment her beauty .
Staring at the girl , I felt I lost my appetite .
Who is she ??
How can she cling to him like that ??
The girl didn't even look bothered by my presence and sat next to him .
" She is Myra , bhai girlfriend " Nafisa whispered beside me .
Of course, how can I even expect any good thing from this man . Feeling shame is not a cup of his tea .
Blinking back my tears , I observed the girl .
I won't even touch girls like you . His words rang inside my head .
But he already had a girlfriend so why did he marry me ??
" Aren't she over dress for breakfast " I glance at her again , she look like is about to go in a party , her attire and baked face say so...
" Yeah she is a little extra , trying her best to look good to catch bhai attention " she rolled her eyes .
" She is so insecure that she tries her best that if a girl came even 5 feet closer to him , and if anyone ever does " she shiver making face .
" She becomes their worst nightmare " she cringe thinking something .
" Okayyyyy.... " I drag the word taking all the information about this little almost confirmed psychopath .
" So you are his temporary wife " I look up at the mocking tone which belongs to none other than Myra
" kamu sudah lama tidak makan " She said something in foreign language to me which I didn't understand.
I narrowed my eyes turning to Nafisa " she said you look like you haven't eaten in ages "
I gasp at the insult , I glare at whatever her name is " looking at your collar bone coming out from your neck I can say the same '' I gave her a sarcastic smile but my smile faded as the kid gasped in surprise . I mentally scold myself .
The girl cheek heat up in embarrassment " How dare you talk to me like that " she stood up slamming her hand on the table.
" HOW DARE YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT , YOU ##### ROADSIDE BEGGAR " her furious eyes and stingy mouth hurl the insult at me .
" Well if I am a beggar than you are the brand ambassador of it " I insulted her back , she gasped .
Please someone stop me please.....
Nafisa chuckled beside me but as soon as she saw Khalid glare she pretended to cough " sorry " she muttered covering his mouth pretending to cough .
She took water drinking innocently .
" Khalid ... Throw her out now " she ordered him but got a glare from him instead .
" Watch. Yours . Tone . Myra " he gave her the coldest glare that even the dangerous man will shiver in fear .
She sat down changing her angry expression into a sad one playing the victim card " baby I am not ordering you , I was just requesting . She just insulted me in front of the kid , look what effect it will have in their mind " she shed fake crocodile tears .
My eyes zeroed at her behaviour .
Is she even serious !!! She was the one who insulted me first ...
Khalid clench his fist glaring at me I gulp " Apologize " he ordered .
" Why would I apologise she -" I was about to protest when Nafisa held my hand shaking her head .
" APOLOGIZE NOW !" His voice thundered around the table scaring me to my core .
Swallowing my self respect , full of tears I glare at her " I am sorry " I muttered looking away .
" Good , never dare to talk to me like this ever again" she smirked, all the tears in her eyes just went out of the window .
I look down as a single tear escapes my eyes ...
I look at my food , the appetite left a long time back anyway .
I felt someone's eyes on me , unconsciously I looked up to see Khalid staring at me with an unknown emotion .
Our eyes stared at each other for a few seconds ... Then he looked away, eating his food like nothing happened .
I stood up without eating and left the room .
I heard Rabiya Aunty call my name but I didn't look back .
My mind wasn't in my control .
