Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 20
——
I packed my stuff and listened to Farid
this time, it’s not like I had any option
anyways. Telling Sobia wouldn’t help
especially when she is busy planning her
wedding with Rafay. I wonder what
she’ll think about me once she finds out.
I bet she’ll hate me just like everyone
else. I got inside Farid’s car and he
didn’t even glance at me once.
He stopped his car front of a huge
house, I wondered if it was his parents.
‘Whose place is it?’ I managed to ask,
wasn’t sure he’ll answer any of my
questions.
‘Mine’ He kept his answer short and
stepped out of the car. I grabbed my
bag and followed him inside. The house
was beautiful, it was warm and had
a character, unlike Farid’s personality.
‘It was my mothers’ He said suddenly.
‘Sorry?’
‘The house, she designed it’
‘Oh, it’s nice’ I smiled but he didn’t.
‘There is some food in the kitchen if you
want something, in meanwhile, I’ll get
your bedroom set up’
‘Oh okay’ I picked up my bag from the
ground to take it with me to the kitchen
but he stopped me.
‘Where are you going?’
‘To the kitchen’
‘I’ll take your bag upstairs’ He took the
bag from my hands and went upstairs
and I went to the kitchen to find some
food.
After finishing a bowl of instant noodles,
I walked upstairs to find Farid. I need to
talk to him about us.
I found him in one of the room, it was
big but not as big as the other two
bedrooms I checked. I think this was
mine.
He was looking out the window, there
was a small lake nearby and I could see
the moonlight dancing on the water. It
was so beautiful. He looked so different
just then. He looked peaceful.
I knocked on the door and he turned to
me instantly.
‘Sorry’ I mumbled and walked inside the
room.
‘This is your room’ He was being really
awkward. He was never this nice.
‘Is everything okay?’
‘Yeah, why do you ask? It’s not me who
got kicked out of the house?’ He raised
his eyebrows at me.
‘Thanks for the reminder’ I turned to
leave but he held my shoulder to stop
me.
‘I…’
‘Let go now’ I tried to pull my hand
away but it was no use.
‘Don’t talk to me like this, I have warned
you before too’ His voice got louder and
his presence grew in the room making
me feel small and weak yet again.
I got a hold of myself and turned
around. I was too tired to run away
from him.
‘Or else what? What are you going to do
now? Kick me out of this place too? Not
give me money? What are you going to
do now? I am done being your toy
Mr.Ibrahim.
Don’t even think of a second
you are doing any favors on me. You
need me as much as I need you, you
hear me.’ I didn’t realize I was shouting
at him until I finished talking.
He let go of my hand and I took a step
back and sat on the edge of the bed,
breathing heavily at this point.
‘Try to get some sleep’ He walked out
and closed the door on his way out.
I opened my phone and saw there were
a lot of texts and calls from Sobia, maybe
she did find out about my marriage after
all.
I called her back and in one ring she
picked up the phone.
‘What the hell, where are you? Do you
know how scared I was? I went to your
house and found out about you and that
guy? Are you okay? Are you safe? Did he
do anything to you?’ She was panicking,
she worried for me.
‘I…I am okay’ I was crying at this point.
‘Laila, where are you ?’
‘At Farid’s house.’
‘What? No, go back home. I am sure
your aunty will understand’
‘No, she won’t, I tried Sobia. She doesn’t
want me anymore’
‘Okay then come to me. I will come and
pick you up’
‘I will see you tomorrow, I need to just
breathe and be alone for a while’
‘Okay, just don’t block me and
remember I am here for you no matter
what’ Sobia was my truest friend and I
was so lucky to have her with me.
I changed into more comfortable clothes
and laid down on the bed, I kept turning
left and right for hours until my eyes
shut themselves and I drifted into a
dreamless sleep.
