A week later
"I am not sure, when I'll be meeting you all" I tell my friends while chewing the almond which Naim ever so lovingly is feeding me, he has placed the phone right in front of me with the help of lots of pillows, some he even grabbed from his room and after settling it for me, he gave a video call to my friends who literally screamed when they saw my face. True friendship is when your friends blows your eardrums after hearing and seeing you after days.
"I know I said boss is a very nice man but now my heart is building tiny bit of hatred towards him, it is not at all fair because of some jerk he is not letting us meet you" Zach grumbles as he flops on the seat.
Zoe and Alia nods in agreement but a sigh leaves their lips since they are not able to do anything.
"I know he is being hard on you all, but I cannot convince him, he already looks miserable whenever he feels like I am feeling insecure, he is not even letting, Sufiya, hafsa and Nisma in, they always bang my door and leave the place frustrated" I tell them what is happening and Zach looks at me with wide eyes.
"Even that Sufiya guy? He looks trustworthy then why is Boss not trusting him?" Taping his index finger on his chin he thinks for second before gasping "Maybe he is the stalker?"
"Shutup Zach" I roll my eyes but find Alia hitting his arm. "Ouch what is it? Oh waitâI forgot he left a spy behind" rolling his eyes at Alia he sits back.
"Zach, for once stop uttering rubbish" Alia mutters before turning towards me "I think instead of talking bad about boss we should feel bad for our boss and help him as much as we can, he actually looks way to tired and on top of that he even missed the big deal which might bring lots of loss to this company, and now he even fired Max and is doing all the work alone" Alia voices out her thought in such a painful voice, and here my heart is clenching as every word hits my eardrum like knife.
Why didn't he say my anything? And why the hell did he fire Max?! He is a nice guy.
"You don't have to say that Alia" Zach gives her a good glare while Zoe does the same which makes my poor friend panic.
"I-I just, I am sorry" she looks at me with wide eyes as if she broke the biggest secret which should be kept hidden.
"What deal did he miss?" Alia bites her lips but keeps her mouth shut and that tells the whole story.
"Mr Rags?" I ask and She slowly nods her head and that hits me so bad, since I am the reason he missed such a big deal to which he was preparing since forever. He even fired to men's for not working properly over this deal which he wanted to get under his hand by anyway possible but I should jump in his happiness like a witch.
Goodness why do I always end up as a black cat.
Chewing my lower lips to not cry I keep quiet with my eyes on my lap.
"I am sorry, I shouldn't have said that" Alia looks on the verge of crying as she looks at me with so much regret in her voice.
"Oh cut that crap! You already said, I will tell My brother that you used your words to hurt my friend" Naim takes the phone from the pillow and after warning them with a glare he cuts the phone.
"Naim! What was that?!" I look at him with wide eyes when he angrily throws the phone on the other side.
"They are not your friends, they are fake friends" with that he stands up and leaves the room probably to go complain someone.
When did this little one turned to an angry boy?
Sighing I scoot down with my back to lay down, because my back is paining terribly because of sitting in an uncomfortable position and Ziyan is not here so that I can ask him to make me sit properly. I know my life is way too fucked up, I can't even sit without anyone's help, I just pray even my enemies should not go through something I am going through.
I close my eyes only to see a frustrated Ziyan and the employees glaring at me and women's calling me disgrace for not even being a finger support to her husband.
I feel so vulnerable right now, I am the reason why he looks so tired, I am the reason why he lost such a big opportunity, shouldn't women be reason of men's win, here I am being the black cat of my man.
Tears leaves my eyes without my consent and I am not even able to wipe it even when my hands are itching to wipe it away, I am not able to, I feel so weak and pathetic now.
Sobbing very quietly at how stupid and weak I feel all of a sudden, I dig my face in the pillow so the pillows could help me wipe my tears, now I am even asking help from pillows.
The last whole week I noticed Ziyan being so disturbed and he is always in phone talking quietly so I cannot hear, which always makes me curious but never I thought he is going through so much.
Whenever I asked he used to shrug it off by kissing me or cuddling closer while mumbling 'It's nothing"
And yeah like a dumb I do not even press it further to not make him more frustrated.
I squeeze my lips in between my teeth so hard that I am sure It might bleed but I am caring less about those things, I feel like just dying at once rather than burdening someone.
It's been a month that incident happened and still my hands are yet to be recovered, and the doctor we go for weekly checkup does not even give some fake hopes.
Yes, she was happy seeing me walk with the help of Ziyan but not coming in a wheel chair and she said the reason of my speed recovery was the sudden shock I received, I was so happy and the excitement that my brain couldn't take and the blood which rushed through my veins, was the reason why my legs reacted and since then Ziyan is trying to gift me with things I love so I get excited again and so again some miracle happens but it does not work like that, I stay like a paralysed women in the bed, smiling at Ziyan who always give me an encouraging smile.
In two days we will be leaving to Maldives and now I feel like I should drop the plan, already he is stressed why should I burden myself more on him by asking him to take me out.
My tears are quietly drying on their own as I stare at an empty space, and I quickly shut my eyes close when I hear the door being open quietly as if to not wake me up.
I guess it's Ziyan and I don't have tiny bit of guts to talk to him without shedding tears so I act as if I am sleeping.
My body tenses when I hear voice of someone cursing that does not belongs to Ziyan, who the hell is in here?
I gulp but press myself more into the pillow when I hear footsteps getting near.
"Great" the man mutters in a frustrated tone and I almost recognise the voice, it feels like I have heard this voice many times before but it is not Ziyan's voice.
A loud gasp leaves my lips when I was harshly pulled by my arm and thrown to the other side.
My eyes automatically widens and I breathe heavily as I stare at the tall figure grinning at me with a grin which tells he is a psyco, the grin looks so scary that anybody can pee in their pants.
Gulping I stay lying as I look at the human who I know very well, but never I have seen him grinning at me like that.
"How are you doing Ziah?" His voice so soft and quiet as he questions and I am here dripping in fear.
"Iâhow did you get in Max?" I am stuttering so much that I'll be thankful if he understood.
"Nice question, since I was kid I loved Spiderman and the way he climbs the building so I did some stunt and boom! I am here" grinning like a child he looks at me happily.
But to my eyes he does not look normal, he looks
abnormal.
"Why are you lying on the bed? Get up get up I have come and your not even greeting me" he pouts and moves forward to touch me but I quickly stop him.
"IâI'll sit by myself" gulping crawl towards the headboard to sit but see him giving me a sad look.
I don't understand a thing, what is happening? I have literally spoke two to three words with him in the office and here he is acting as if we were best friend.
"My intentions were never to hurt you I swear" he blinks his eyes at me "but your husband didn't leave any choice, it's not my fault if he acts like a dumb creature is it" he jumps all of a sudden scooting closer and I quickly press my body against the headboard as tears leaves my eyesz
"Tell me! Is it my fault?" I quickly shake my head as a no, before he kills me for not agreeing to what he is saying "I knew it! It's all your husbands fault, he should be punished, not you" he looks at my hands and then at me paled face.
"But what can I do, my sister is so in love with him, that I am not able to hurt him just because of my baby sister" he sits down with a huff "and I know if I have to hurt him, I should do something with you so here I am" he grins brightly and I scoot to the other side, not even caring that I am on the edge of the bed.
"Please-Please leave me I didn't do anything" sob after sob leaves my lips and his expression quickly "No, No please don't cry! I don't want to hurt you! I am so sorry! God this is all Ziyan's fault! He knew my sister loves him still he married you and put your life on danger!" He glares at the ground.
"Okay, calm down, listen I stole a laser gun, which unfortunately has only one bullet but we can work it out with it, that gun will not make lots of noise and I'll shoot it right into your forehead which will take your life on spot so you will not be able to take lots of pain too, okay?" I looks at him with wide eyes as he is casually planning my murder with me, how can he be so casual.
"No please" I whimper sobbing as I scoot away from him only to scream out loud when I fall on the ground, and because of my dead hands I was not even able to protect myself from the hard hit I received.
Crying in pain I look at my trembling hands which are of no use 'Ya allah please help me' I mutter under my breathe but I feel like nobody is listening to me.
"Holy Christ Ziah!" Max rushes towards me and sit on the edge of the bed as he looks at me with worry and the worry looks so psychotic in my eyes that I feel more scared of him.
'Where is Ziyan?'
Please come.
"What the freaking fuck are you doing Eric?!" I yell on top of my lungs at the Eric who is panicking as he rushes towards his laptop.
"We don't know how he escaped Ziyan, I have set a tracker on him, give me two minutes and I'll track him" he stutters as he speaks quickly but in a trembling voice.
My veins will probably pop out from the way I am boiling in anger. Max who came up to me and like a exact psycho he started convincing me to be with his sister because she is admitted in the hospital and when I asked what the fuck is wrong with him I saw a different Max who literally accepted everything he did without me doing anything and the next minute he was taken by the police but those stupid mens who ate thousands from my bank did not even keep an eye on him and now he is out somewhere to god knows where.
My brain will explode from the mental stress I am receiving since past few days, he was prisoned since the past one week and now we see an empty cell and these guards casually tells me they don't know, they fucking don't know where the criminal is who tried killing my wife multiple time.
Even if this all smooths down, I won't sit quietly until I remove their batches and uniforms from their body.
We are currently in my office and everybody in my floor looks like their soul has left their body, well I cannot blame them, I know I look damn scary at the way I am yelling at whoever looks at me for more than to seconds without any reason.
"What happened? Why do you look like you can see angel asking for you to leave your body politely?" I hear Zach's voice in the background.
"Hi boss" Zach smiles which quickly drops when he looks at my messed up state "Umm did I enter at a wrong time?" He blinks his eyes at me and I roll my eyes not at all in the mood to take his rubbish.
"Zach don't start your Rubbish, we are already into a deep mess" Sufiyan mutters and Zach quickly reacts by rushing towards him.
"What the fuck?! Max ran away?! I knew this would happen, those officers looked nothing more than useless" he groans glaring at Sufiyan as if he is the culprit and then something comes up in my mind.
"Zach do me a favour" hearing me he quickly rushes towards me "Ziah is alone at home I don't want to take any risk so please go to my home and see if she is safe" I tell him and he quickly nods sternly.
I know I can trust these three Males because they helped me alot on finding who the culprit in which Zach has the biggest hand, he even punched Max to death when he was caught.
He quickly nods and was about to leaves when Eric starts again with his stuttering.
"OhâZ-Ziyan?" Eric looks at me with wide "Spit it out Eric, we are not making a film here that your uttering with so much suspense" Zach scoffs but my eyes are still in Eric who looks scared.
"Max is currently in your house" he completes with his trembling, and I stumble a step back hearing him.
"Shit" Zach curses under her breathe and I do not waste a second to rush out with my raising heart which is trembling really hard at the possibility.
No no noânothing can happen to her, not the same again, she has already gone through many things which were not meant for her, now not again.
