"Who was in that black car?" "Auntie, it was sweet uncle!" Zain said excitedly and smiled. Sanjana gave me a confused look and then looked back on the road.
"I don't know, he found Zain" "You didn't even ask his name?" I looked at her, "Sanjana seriously" She chuckled and nodded her head. "Was he handsome?" "Sanjana don't start" She started laughing and nodded her head.
When she stopped in front of the hospital, Alex was waiting for us there. He opened the door to Zain and picked him up, "Hey champ, long time since I saw you" Zain shyly smiled and looked down at his hands.
I couldn't believe my eyes, he was so open with that guy, and here he is being all shy like a bride and that also in front of Alex. Sanjana helped me out of the car and held my hand.
"Dr. Jannat you surely got injured badly," Dr. John said while slowly putting my foot down. "It surely will take about 3 weeks before it's healed"
"It's okay, it will heal in a week or two," I said and stood up. He shook his head and just sighed. "You must take a leave for 3 weeks and you must not drive with that foot," He said while pointing.
"But I can't take leave from work, I have surgeries next week, and I have an important patient, I even had an appointment with the today," I said while grabbing onto Sanjana. "We will postpone them, now leave I don't want to see that stubborn face of yours" I pouted and looked at Sanjana.
"Finally you have some days off from work" I sighed and we went back to Sanjana's car. On our way back home Zain had fallen asleep, Sanjana helped me of the car and helped me to the door.
I knocked on the door, "Usman you are still here?" I asked when he opened the door. He looked at me worriedly and hugged me tightly. "How could I leave when Zain is nowhere to be found and you weren't coming home"
I chuckled and patted his back, he pulled away and looked down on my ankle, "It's nothing I'm fine" "Fine my foot, Usman she is off from work for whole 3 weeks, and Zain fell asleep"
Usman quickly took Zain from Sanjana and held him in his arms tightly. "My little boy" He whispered while kissing his head. He helped me in and helped me sit on the sofa.
"I'll put Zain in your room" I nodded while he went upstairs to my room. I heard footsteps and there I saw dad walking towards me. He sat down beside me and hugged me tightly.
"I knew you will find my grandson" I smiled and hugged him back. I pulled away and saw him smiling, "Ah, you're back" I looked towards the voice and saw mom standing there.
"I wish you didn't return" "That's enough!" Dad said angrily and stood up. She didn't care and looked at me, "You shouldn't have returned home with your so-called son"
"Ammi, please, don't say anything about Zain. You can say anything to me but not him" I wouldn't hear anything about my baby who is just innocent.
"Now you talk back? People are right, a stepdaughter will always be a stepdaughter" Yes, she was my stepmother but I never saw her like that. She always saw me differently but I never looked at her as my stepmother.
"It's enough! She never saw you as her stepmother, she always takes care of you first, you are her first priority! I shouldn't have married you, marrying you was a mistake!" Dad said and went to his room.
Mom glared at me and went out into the garden. I sighed and stood up, I walked upstairs and saw Usman beside Zain. "Usman, you can leave... Sorry you had to leave today and I troubled you"
"No, Jannat it's alright as long as you all are safe" I smiled while he left. I sat down beside Zain and caressed his head.
"I'm sorry baby, I'm really sorry. I can't even give you a little bit of happiness, because of me you can't even have your grandma's love. I'm so sorry" I whispered while crying.
Makson Kingston P.O.V.
" I know your kind of girls, I have handled many girls like you in my life! Girls like you can do anything for money! Take this, your fucking salary, and get the hell out of my office!" I shouted at the manager or should I say ex-manager.
She is bullshit, I shouldn't have kept her under my company. She tried to sell my company's hard work and not only that she flirted with all my business workers who stayed at my new hotel, and now she is trying to seduce me. How low can she be?
"Sir, please don't fire me. Please, sir, give me another chance I won't repeat this mistake again!" She begged with tears in her eyes which I for sure knew were fake and I knew that she was just playing.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, "Bismillah" I mumbled under my breath and then looked at her. "Look, Ms. Smith, I'm telling you kindly to leave now, don't make me call the guards," I said trying not to burst.
"Sir, please... I'll do anything, I can kiss you, I can make you feel good, just give me another chance, I won't disappoint you" That was enough, how can a girl not have some self-respect.
"GUARDS!" I shouted into the intercom, my two most trusted bodyguards walked in, "Get her out of my face, and I don't want to see her near my company!" They nodded and dragged her out from her.
Just when she was out from my face and when finally there was some peaceful time for me to finish my files, I heard a voice calling for me.
"Hey bro, how are you doing?" Arif Chaudhry, my best friend since diapers came inside my office without knocking. He was the only person who doesn't need any permission to enter my office.
"What are you doing here Arif?" "Well, I'm also doing good brother thank you for asking" "What brings you here?" I said without looking at him, my focus was still on my files which I had to finish.
"I heard you kicked your gold digger manager" "Well, you heard that right, and now tell me why you are here?" I could hear his footsteps coming closer to me.
I looked at him and just gave him my straight face. "Don't tell me you forgot" I looked at him confused and sighed, "Arif, I seriously don't have time for your bullshit" I said and looked back on my files.
"Bro, It's my princess' birthday!" Shit, fuck my life! How could I forget it! I looked at him and nodded my head, "Of course I didn't, she is finally 4" He looked at me with a look, 'are you serious'.
"Bro, she turned 5, bro 5! You know what just do your work, let's wait till my baby knows this!" He said while standing up. "You won't" He looked at me and was going to walk away when I stood up.
"Okay-Okay, wait, what can I do?" He turned around and looked at me with an evil smirk. "I want to borrow your new Lamborghini" "You serious? You just bought your own this morning"
"I don't care, you shouldn't have forgotten my princess's birthday, plus it's her favorite car and you know it" But it's also mine! I never let anyone borrow my car.
"It's fine, I'll just tell-" "No-No, you won't, here!" I threw the keys to him while he caught them perfectly. "Now come on, let's go everyone must be waiting," He said and started walking away leaving me behind.
I fixed my blazer and tie and walked after him. We got into my car which he basically drove and headed to our mansion. When we arrived I saw all the decorations.
When we opened the door we heard the birthday girl's voice. "DADDY!" She ran up to Arif while he grabbed her in his arms. "Woah, my princess missed me?" "Yes, I missed you this much"
She said while showing it with her small hands. I chuckled and looked at her, "Why princess, you forgot uncle?" She giggled and put her hands towards me.
I took her in my arms while Arif smiled at us and went inside with me following him from behind. "Finally I got to see my son" I heard my dad who was drinking his favorite green tea as always.
"Hey dad" He smiled while nodding his head. I looked around and couldn't see my woman anywhere. "Your mom and sister aren't here" "Who said I was looking for my ugly sister" Just then someone hit me from behind on my head.
"Who the hel-" I stopped when I turned around and saw my sister behind me with her hands crossed over her chest. "So I am ugly huh?" I rolled my eyes at her and just wanted to walk away.
She pulled my ear while I shouted in pain, "Let go of me you pig!" "I dare you to say that!" "Baby, no no, let him go," Arif said while pulling his wife away.
Yes, that's the baby he was talking about, and yes my idiot best friend married my ugly sister. "Baby, be careful I don't want my champ to get hurt," He said while caressing her 8 months baby bump.
"Jasmine come here to grandpa" I put my princess down and she ran off to dad, "Grandpa, why mommy and uncle always fighting like that?" "Because they are idiots," Dad said and kissed her cheek.
I sighed and just shook my head. "Where is mom?" "Maria darling are you fighting with your brother again?!" I was dying to hear this voice. "My baby is here!" I looked at her and walked towards her traping her in a tight hug.
"Hey mom" "Hey Maky" I chuckled at her nickname for me which had for me since the day I was born. "Now-Now, don't fight like cat and dog you two," She said and kissed my cheek.
We all went to the dining room and sat down, as mom wanted us to eat dinner now. "So Makson, you broke your own record this time," My father said proudly.
"And Arif, you got the China contract" My father once again said proudly. Mom and dad treated Arif like their own son, and when he wanted to marry Maria, they didn't hesitate once and since his parents and my parents were good friends they turned their friendship into relation.
"Boys please, no work talk" Mom said while looking at seriously. "Uncle, I want to play with Zain" "ZAIN! WHO IS ZAIN?!" Arif burst out while looking at his daughter.
"Zain is my boyfriend" I choked on my water and looked at Arif who was burning in anger. "Omg, my daughter has a boyfriend" "Bro, my daughter went out with you yesterday and you let her have a boyfriend!"
"Relax bro, the little boy was lost so we took him along with us" "Daddy, he is a boy and he is my friend, so that means boy-friend," She said innocently.
Dad laughed while mom shook her head at their little granddaughter. "Uncle, you said that you had his mothers number, I wanna play with him"
"You have what?!" I rolled my eyes at their reactions. "Come on guys, I had to call her to take her son with her right... And princess I don't have his mother's number" I looked at mom she seemed weird to me, I then looked at Maria and she also looked weird.
Is there something I don't know?
