Chapter Seven

Aisha POV

I woke up wondering where the hell am I. This isn't our house,in fact it doesn't even look anyway alike. What happened to me? Why am I here?

Try to think Aisha

Oh! I was almost raped yesterday by those crazy thugs,but Aryan saved me,he saved me from them. He's such a gentle Man

Like seriously Aisha? Now he's a gentle man,huh?

I think I've becoming to like him more than before. But why did he brought me here?

You passed out yesterday remember?

That's true. So he brought me to this beautiful house,in a room with a king side bed,this room is so beautiful, it was decorated simple but still it look elegant.Wait a minute! this room smells like him,is this his room?! Oh my God I hope he didn't take advantage of the situation!

Aisha you're so stupid. Just take a look at your self,you're with your cloth,even your veil is still wrap around your head

Innalillah why am I having a dirty thought,he's nice,yes he's, and from now on I'm going to be nice to him,I will make sure I fulfill Fatima wishes. I've made up my mind

"You're awake?" I heard his voice

Here we go,speaking of the devil

"Uhmm....mmm....yes I am" I answered nervously nodding my head. Don't know what has come over me all of a sudden,I felt nervous

"Good,you okay? Were you hurt in any place?" He ask worriedly

He sound so sincere. "I'm good thank you"

"Aryan?" I called him

"Mmm"

"I want to thank you for saving me yesterday, if not you i wouldn't have know where I would be by now,thank you so much"I said looking intently into his eyes

"Its okay Aisha,I'm happy that you're OK" he replied staring at me like he wanted to kiss me

Okay Aisha where did that thought come from?

"Oh my God! Its morning Dad and Mom will be freaking out,I didn't go home yesterday, I need to go Aryan"

"Hey calm down will you? I called them and told them what happened, I couldn't take you to your house because I never knew where you were living so I had to brought you to my place,but I told them you're fine here with me,and they decided to come for you this morning"

"I'm sorry I was suppose to do that before taking you to my house but my mind was off it,and after we reached my house I decide to call them"

"Really? You've really done so much for me already,thank you"

"You're welcome " he said smiling

"Did you just smile?"

"What? No! you saw wrong"

"No I saw you just now smiling"

"No I didn't"

"You shouldn't deny it Aryan, you look more handsome while smiling"

I wide my eyes when I registered what I just said. Did I just admit to my boss that he looks handsome?

"What? So you're admitting that I look handsome?"

"No!"

"But you just say so"

"No I didn't!"

"Yes you did!"

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes"

"Yes"

"You see,I told you" he said laughing

This is my first time seeing him laughing, he really is a handsome guy,and he's also nice,guess you can't judge a book by it cover

"But why did I faint?"

"I also wonder too,then I gave my doctor a call and explain everything to her, she told me you fainted because of too much of stress and shock,she said you were too shock of what happened"

I'm not surprised, That's what usually happen to me and Zainab,I hope she's OK

"Oh!...... So what time is it Aryan?"

"Its five in the morning, why?"

"Actually I want to pray"

"Yes that's true, that's what I actually wanted to come and wake you up for, but I see you're awake already. I will leave you to take care of your self now,when you're done you can call any of my maid,they will attend to you. And less I forget you can take today off"

"No! really it fine"

"Aisha I'm still your boss, so when I say you take a day off you replied as a good employee with "OK sir"

"Okay?"

"But i-"

"No any but sweetheart"

"Can you stop calling me that?"

"What?"

"That"

"Sweetheart?"

"No"

"Darling?"

"No!"

"Love?"

"No!"

"Sweetheart it's then"

"Cmon Aryan"

"My heart is beating so fast just by hearing that nickname of yours" I wanted to say

"Why? Don't you like it?"

"I like it and of course I like you" I wanted to say that to him again

"Yes" I said shyly

"Lies"

"Are you sure?" He ask smirking

How I wish I can wipe off that your smirk

"Yes Aryan,and can you please excuse me I need some privacy here"

"Okay,that's true"

"Aryan?" I called out before he could walk out

"Yes?"

"Thank you so much once again,I really appreciate what you've done" I said sincerely looking straight into his eyes

"You're welcome sweetheart"

"Here we go again"

"Okay bye"

"Bye"

"Wow he's really so nice and caring,never knew he has this good side"

I took my phone to dial Dad's number. What! 48 missed calls?

From dad?  20

From Mom? 10

From Adyan? 18

Oh no! I got them all worried. I really need to call them

"Hello princess, are you OK? Were you hurt? How're you doing?"

"Calm down Dad,how many of your question do you want me to answer? I'm fine"

"My baby are you OK? Should we come get you now?"

"Mom?! Don't be rude,Dad was still on the line,why did you snatch the phone away from him?"

"What did you expect? A mother that doesn't care for her child is a worthless mother, I love you with all my heart and will always do,even though I may not be the one that gave birth to you, in my heart....you're still my daughter"

"Mom?" I called crying

"Don't cry my baby,we'll be there soon" she said which I very know she's also crying

"Mom?"

"Yes my princess"

"I....love....you...too....more than you can ever imagine"

"Okay princess enough with the drama,your mom and I will be there soon"

"Okay Dad" I said hanging up the call

I need to call Adyan too

"He....Hello Adyan?"

No response

"Hello?"

No response

"Adyan?"

Are you OK?

I smile knowing he can't forever be angry with me

"Yes I am,I'm really sorry Adyan,please"

"It OK princess,Dad called me yesterday that you're save with your boss,you know I wanted to fly down there yesterday when we couldn't reach you,but Dad gave me a strict order not to.What're you thinking Aisha? you're a family! my sister but you don't like spending Dad's money, even his car you don't want to use it, why?" He sounded hurtful

"Adyan I'm sorry" I said crying

"Aisha you know,you always treat us sometimes as an outsider,you don't like treating us as your family,why? If you're not comfortable with you living with us you should have just said it, instead of you distancing your self from us or giving some excuses"

No Adyan! No! You're taking it in a wrong way,I'm not treating you all like that,No I didn't I swear. I love you all with my heart,I know there's nothing I can say for you to believe me,but all what I could say for now is for you to forgive me,please Adyan"

I'm coming back in three days time,we'll talk when I arrive" he said hanging up without waiting for my reply

I love you all,I really do Adyan" I muttered to my self

I unwrap my veil and entered the bathroom to perform ablution. Will I pray with this dirty cloth now? Ya Allah please accept my prayer,coz I really don't have any other cloth here

I pray my subhir prayer,and pray to Allah to always protect me and my family and friends from danger

"Good morning Miss"

"Good morning Ma'am and you can call me Aisha"

"OK Miss,your parent are here"

"Mom and Dad are here?"

"Yes Miss"

"OK thank you"

"I will be down in five minute"

Walking out from my room,I'm so stunned with what I'm seeing, Aryan is so freaking rich,did all this belong to him? Of course Aisha,I walk through the steps taking my leg one after the other memorizing every moment

"Aisha?" I heard mom whispered my name

"Mom? I quickly went to her and hug her tightly,Mom I'm sorry, please forgive me"

"Its OK my baby,I'm happy that you're save"

"Dad"? I turn to him and hug him too

"It OK princess, our major concern is your safety and we're happy that you're safe"

"Dad what about Zainab?"

"She's fine" Dad said avoiding my eyes

"Dad! Please tell me the truth,where is my sister?"

"Princess, what happened was that,when we couldn't reach you yesterday, she couldn't take the shock anymore, she thought something bad has happen to you,and you know how her condition is. But don't worry she's fine now, I called our family doctor she has attended to her and she's now stable,but need a lot of rest"

"What?! Aisha passed out? Because of my foolishness? Dad? Is she okay?"

"Calm down she's fine now" Dad said assuring me

"Dad I'm so sorry,I really am"

"It not your fault Aisha,so stop saying sorry all the time"

"Can we go now? I need to see her,I need to make sure she's OK"

"Ma'am?"  I called out the same lady who came to tell me my parents are around

"Yes Miss?"

"I told you,you can call me Aisha"

"I'm sorry Miss but Sir Aryan won't allow it,he made it specifically to us to give you the utmost respect"

"He did?"

"Yes"

'Wow! Aryan? I'm starting to fall for you" I thought

"Okay then,but at least you can call me Miss Aisha"

"But-"

"No,you will"

"Okay miss Aisha"

"I need to go now,thank you so much"

"The pleasure is all mine"

Reaching home I quickly jump out from the car and entered the house,I open Zee door and saw her sleeping helplessly on the bed,she look pale

"Sis,I'm here now,you can open your eyes. Zee you can hear me right?"

"Ai.....Aisha? Aisha?"

"I'm here Sis,I'm here,I'm sorry for my foolishness, please open your eyes'

And like a magic, she opened her eyes

"Aisha,you're here?"....

"Yes I am"

"Are you alright?" She asked

"I should be the one asking you that"

"What happened to me? Why am I sleeping on the bed with a drip on me?"

"You passed out because of the shock"

"Oh! Really"

"I'm sorry sis,because of me you're lying on bed now"

"Sis will you stop saying that,you know this is not the first time something like this will happen to me"

"But it happen because of me right?"

"But are you sure you're OK too?"

"Yeah,I kinda passed out too,but I'm OK now"

"Are you sure? "

"You talk too much Sis, seriously it fine"

"I'm happy that you're safe and sound"

"Me too Sis, me too" I said as I hug her tightly
