Iman sneaked into the room startling Yusrah "My dear sister in law is a scaredy cat." She stated laughing and Yusrah just roll her eyes "I am not in the mood," She stated and Iman chuckled "You will be after seeing what is happening downstairs." That made her have Yusrah's attention.

"Yazeed is teaching Ya Yusuf one cartoon dance." She stated laughing hysterically and Yusrah started laughing even before reaching the door and peeking,they went and stood by the railing which have a clear view of the parlor to watch the free show early in the morning.

Yazeed will do a step then Yusuf will do as he did,and just know that all Yazeed do is jump around like a monkey in the name of dance step,Yusuf being Yusuf is following his instructions as if he is some sort of a professional dancer.

Yusrah's eyes darted to mama who was hyping them and even taking a video of them while laughing.That made Yusrah more amused than she already was.Her mother in law is a very quite person who doesn't poke her nose into what does not concern her,she is not like other mother in laws and that is why living with her doesn't intimidate Yusrah.She is a very simple person.

So,seeing her also moving her head in a dancing manner as she take a video of her son and grandson dancing have come as a huge surprise to Yusrah.

She smiled as she watch them dance happily while taking breaks to dance.

"Wow! This scene should just freeze,I wanna watch it forever." Iman stated still laughing and Yusrah nodded her head "Me too."

They decided to let them have their moment and went back to the room "You love him,don't you?" Iman questioned as they settle down and Yusrah just stared at her "Who?" She question even despite knowing the answer.

"I can see it,I am never wrong when it comes to love.You love Ya Yusuf." She stated and Yusrah just smiled as an idea piqued in her.

"You always talk about love.What about you? I mean tell me about your love life." She stated looking into her eyes and Iman just smiled.

"I have gone through a thousand love stories." She stated "In the books you read?" Yusrah questioned totally amused with the way Iman changed the topic.Iman let out a little sigh of relieve thinking that Yusrah have let the topic slide but Yusrah knows better.

"Yes." She stated nodding her head "I want to become an author one day,to contribute in adding another love story to the world of readers." She stated smiling fondly "Before writing a love story,you should also have one." Yusrah stated.

Iman let out a chuckle "You are so clever,you still bought me back to the topic I dodged." She stated and Yusrah roll her eyes playfully "The fact that you dodged it made me more curious.I am very sure their is something we don't know." Yusrah replied smiling a bit.

"You know that I work right?" She questioned and Yusrah nod her head,Yusuf told her yesterday night.They always use the night time to get to know each other before sleeping and it is helping a lot.

"It is our manager,Fahad."

Iman stated with her eyes cast down and a shy smile spreading on her face "Give me details!" Yusrah stated over excited as she lounge closer to Iman.If their is anyone who deserve happiness in this world,then Iman should be a part of them.

"He actually proposed just before your wedding,in-fact he said he wants to meet my family.I want everything to settle down first." She stated and Yusrah smack her "Everything have settled down,just tell him to come.Ya ilahi I can't wait for your wedding!" Yusrah squealed and Iman just giggle cutely.

"How did the love start?" Yusrah questioned and Iman eye her "You are one heck of a curious person." She stated and Yusrah totally agreed just to make her go on.

"He always keeps staring at me,he looks for a small reasons to call me to his office to talk about stupid things.Like,he is everywhere that I am.I thought of it as normal at first,but I couldn't ignore that I am catching feelings because of that, I always have his attention.He makes me feel like the most worthy person to be with."

"We became friends and the rest is history." She stated smiling and Yusrah giggled "Manager and worker love story!" She stated and Iman shushed her up "This is a secret okay?"

Yusrah shook her head "Sorry,I am soo telling Yusuf about this!"

~

Why isn't Yusuf staring at her today?

Yes,she hates it when he stares too much,but she is hating the fact that he is not staring at her at all.He told her that he doesn't have a favorite color but he loves black,so she wore a black gown today,she even tied her head-tie after watching a tutorial on youtube.Upon all the days to not stare,why does it have to be today that she made an effort to look good?

She stared at him and he was nonchalantly using his phone "Yusuf," She called and he didn't look up "Look at me." She instructed annoyed and he did.

He didn't say she looked beautiful,she let out a huff "Why aren't you staring at me today?" She questioned and Iman's laughter boomed in her ears.

"You told me to stop staring at you." He stated shrugging.

"What do women want?" He directed his question to Iman "We don't know ourselves." She stated giggling as Yusrah eye her.

"I want you to stare at me and compliment me! I know what I want.I dressed up in black because you said you love black,I even watched a youtube head tie tutorial.I even applied lip gloss and even a little eyeliner.I did all this just to look good for you,but you aren't even staring at me.All my efforts down the gutter.So unfortunate!"

Yusuf just chuckled "You look cute when you ramble." He stated and she rolled her eyes.

He started staring at her and she huff "Stop staring at me!"

"You look beautiful,habibty." He stated "After I asked for it." She huffed and Iman just laughed "You two don't know what to fight about." She stated still laughing.

Yusuf turned his attention to Iman and smiled "So Mrs Fahad to be," He teased and Iman tried to act annoyed "You told him?!!!"

Yusrah nodded her head batting her eyes making Yusuf laugh "Fahad told me that he will ask something from me.I didn't know that it was you." He continued teasing and Iman closed her face "Ya Yusuf!" She whined and he laughed.

"He is a nice guy." Yusuf stated nodded his head as he turn his attention to Yusrah "My beautiful wife," He called and she didn't look at him "I love you." He stated making her smile.

Mama came out with Yazeed on her back,Yazeed is so clingy.He got it from his father.

Well,he keeps clinging onto his grandmother.

"Well done,mama." Yusrah stated as mama smiled at her making Yazeed sit down.The door bell chimed and mama smiled at them "I will get it." She stated and Yazeed stood up "I will accompany you."

That made all of them boost with laughter "He won't let her go to the door with him." Iman stated laughing and they all nodded their head at Yazeed's antique.

Yusuf turned and saw mama looking hooked up in her place,Yazeed smiled and shouted "Grandpa!"

That made all of them turn their heads to that direction,mama moved out of the way and Yusuf's father's face came in display.

Jaw dropped,he walked into the house with a salam to which they answered absentmindedly.

Yusrah doesn't know everything but she knows that they are not on good terms with the man coming in.

She hurriedly stood on her feet and smile at him "Welcome Baba.Good afternoon," She greeted and he answered,she walked to the kitchen to get him something to drink and also food.Setting everything on the tray she scrambled out.

Yusuf watched as Yusrah keep the tray on the center table,she poured the drink for him and he smiled at her "Thank you." He muttered.Yusrah caught hold of Yazeed's hand and walked out of the parlor.Even though she is now a member of their family,but still she doesn't want to witness what ever it is that is about to happen.

Something is off.Alhaji Abdul-aziz never say thank you or spread his lips in a smile anyhow.

Yusuf's attention darted to mama who was uncomfortably sitting like their are thorns pricking her on the chair,he turned to Iman and her face have turned blank.The parlor became eerily quite that even a pin drop can be heard clearly.

Alhaji Abdul-aziz sipped the cold drink wishing it will make him more confident,he cleared his throat as he clench his fists.He felt like storming out of the house.He is not ready.

He managed to man up as he kept opening his mouth to talk and closing it like a fish.Finally sighing he started "I came here to ask for forgiveness."

Everyone was surprised,Iman couldn't even hold back her gasp,it was too much to process.She stared at her father trying to see if he is truly fine and also in his complete right sense.

On the other hand,his wife felt like everything have stopped for her,she didn't even move her eyes to him,she didn't want to see his face.

Alhaji Abdul-aziz noticed that nobody was ready to talk so he continued "I have wronged you all.I admit that I realize my mistake too late,but I want to rectify for them.I am so sorry for everything I did to each and everyone of you." He didn't know how his voice started cracking but it did.

"I am really guilty and ashamed of myself.As a husband,as a father and as a human being in general."

Yusuf stared at his father,he looks utterly broken.Despite the hatred he have for his father,a part of him didn't like seeing him like that.He knows that his father deserve this,but he still feels a pang in his chest.

"What changed?" Yusuf questioned and his father smiled "Everything." He stated smiling a little as tears fill his eyes.

His wife wiped away her tears as she remembered everything he made her go through,she look up at him and she knows that he is not the same person anymore.

"You took us all for granted.You took my love granted,everything I did for you never amazed you." She whispered as she look into his eyes "Then why? Why do I hate seeing you like this? I am supposed to be happy after seeing you like this, I am supposed to smile because you are finally knowing what pain feels like." She stated and he nod his head.

"I am so sorry Fatima.I was wrong,please forgive me." He stated.

Iman harshly wiped her tears as she stood up "I am going upstairs." She stated and was ready to walk but her father held her hand "Let go of me," She cried.

He shook his head "Not today." He stated and she slump down as she let herself cry.

"Baba."

"Everyone smiles at the mention of this name but not us.You just gave us pain and nothing but pain!"

"I won't forgive you for making our lives a living hell!" She exclaimed and Yusuf shook his head.

"Everyone deserves a second chance." He stated "We will forgive you,but you have to earn it." Yusuf stated and they all nodded their head.

Alhaji Abdul-aziz smiled "I have changed,I will really earn your forgiveness." He stated nodding his head.

He held Iman's hand and Mama's.

"For now,let's go home please."
