~Recap~

I slowly opened my eyes to meet the one and only person whom I never wanted to see. His left arm was wrapped around my back and right one was holding my left arm. He was looking at me with concern?...

Shahnoor's POV:-

"Are you okay, baccha?" He asked as I got out of the trance. I immediately jerked his hands away from me.

"Shahnoor, are you okay?"Akib asked as I look at him, I wanted to hug him but I just nodded.

"Shahzaib beta, why did you book only one room for my farah and this girl?"Rehmat aunty said as hatred flowed in her tone. I look at farah but she didn't.

"Farah and Shahnoor will stay in one room."He replied to aunty in a commendable tone.

"But beta, she will not let my farah do this marriage peacefully. You know what she did down in hall."Rehmat aunty said.

"I know but all she is concerned for her sister, I don't feel bad or hurt by her words. She is a kid and you are her elder, aunty. So I guess you should not treat her like this instead of making her understand things." He replied looking in her eyes.

"Shahzaib, how can you take her side? While we are your-"Rehmat aunty was cut off by him saying,

"You are my family, I know and in that family shahnoor is a member too including her parents and brother as well. All of you are equal to me.I respect you as my mother-in-law and expect to find a real mother in you but as for shahnoor,"He look at me than removed his left hand from his pocket and putted on my head.

"She holds a special place after farah in my heart."He completed saying while smiling at me, I didn't knew what to say or do?
I just slowly removed his hand.

"I don't need any special place."I whispered slowly but enough for them to hear.

"See, how disrespectful she is! Shahzaib let her go back. She doesn't need to stay here."Rehmat aunty said and it broke my heart.

I whimpered at the humiliation.How can she be so rude?All I want is good future for farah.

"Baccha, you are getting late for asr salah.Go on third floor, there is a terrace you can offer your salah there." He said while putting my dupatta on my head properly as it slipped when aunty pushed me.
He always treat me like this, like a kid whenever we meet.Just like a father.And Allah knows this side of him makes me change my thoughts about him but than his work comes in my mind.

I didn't know what to say at that moment.I look towards aunty, she is fuming in anger as he ignored her.She is glaring at me as she will eat me.I look at farah and she nodded, signaling me to go for now.I look down and walked out of the room.

On the third floor, I got confused as there are many corridors.I don't know which one goes towards terrace. I saw a man and walk towards him.

"Excuse me?" I said and he look towards me.
