"M..Mom" he stuttered.

"Don't you dare Mom me! What was all this about? Tell me?!"

"Nothing" he answers flatly.

"Don't give me that tone young man...I'm your mom and I deserve to know everything"

"Nothing Mom, I just don't like her anymore,simple!"

"Simple?! Did you just call this simple?!"

"How dare you?! How dare you call your wife names?!" She said as she start hitting him but he never budge. He knows he deserve worse than this.

"Mom please!" He angrily said, making her to stop hitting him.

"Mom please stop all of this,I can't love her,I can't love someone like her anymore. Have you forgotten? She almost kill me!" He bursted.

His sister habiba scoff "but you never reacted to it then, so why now?"

"Will you shut up!" He spat making her shut her mouth immediately.

"Now it has turn to that? Yelling at everyone in the house?" His mom ask with a sad tone.

"I'm so sorry Mom...mine is for her to leave my house first thing tomorrow morning"

"What?!"

"Muhammad please say something to this,why are you just standing there looking at this idiot like this?"

Rasheed look up and met his Dad's angry face,he knows he's in deep shit but he doesn't care,he needs to save his wife and her family.

"Follow me" he said to him. He doesn't need to be told twice as he quickly follow his Dad into his study room.

"Spit it out" he said when they are inside his study room.

Rasheed told his Dad everything and he was so shocked "why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I'm sorry Dad, I really don't want to stress you that's why...and also, this is my problem, I need to deal with it on my own"

"So what do we do now? And how did that girl got out from jail?!"

"I really don't know too,all what she told me was that someone helped her"

"You need to be very careful,someone in your company is working for her secretly,you need to find that out"

"I'll Dad"

"What about your wife,you know she can't do without you...and moreover, you've said so much hurtful words to her"

"I don't have a choice Dad,I really don't"

"So now, what are you going to do about that girl?"

"I'll marry her"

"What?!"

"Yes Dad,I'll marry her and make her life miserable"

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yes Dad.. I plan to-" he stopped talking when he sense someone at the door. He quickly walk towards it and open it. By doing that, kabira hit her butt on the floor badly as she wide her eyes in fear.

"Have you been eavesdropping on us?" Rasheed ask with a cold voice.

"N..No..No sir..I..I..I want..i-" she keeps stuttering not finding the right word to say.

"Rasheed please allow this girl,I told her to prepare me something.. may be that's why she's here"

"But Dad-"

"Forget it" he said in a dismissing voice.

"Why does she look suspicious to me?" He thought "I don't know why but I feel like she's hiding something"

Immediately Alhaji Muhammad told her what to prepare for him,she quickly left there in a rush.

"I just don't know how to handle the rest Dad"

"I'll handle it..don't worry"

"Thank you so much Dad,thank you, thank you" he keeps saying with a smile on his face.

Once they both walk out from the room,they were met with the rest of the family looking at their dad with a hopeful eyes. They knew their Dad won't give in his support but what he said next made all of them wide their eyes in shock.

"Allow him to do whatever he wants, he's a grown up man now,he can make whatever decision he wishes to"

"What? Do you realise what you're saying? Are you saying that Zuwairah should really leave the house?"

"That's his decision and we have to support him"

"But Dad-" Habib wanted to protest.

"Enough! No one will talk about this anymore" he said and no one dares to talk again.

"We should call it a night" he said walking away from them.

Rasheed's Mom look at his son with a disappointed look as she also turn and walk away to her room. The rest also left one by one leaving Rasheed only there.

"I'm sorry,I'm sorry...please you all should forgive me" he said to himself.

A WEEK LATER.

He was dressing, getting ready to go to work when he heard a knock on his door.

"Come in" he said.

"Rasheed can we talk" he stopped hearing the voice. His sweet angel voice,he missed her so much. He wish he could go and embrace her now but he can't.

"We have nothing to talk about, it's better you leave my room now" he said coldly.

"Rasheed please" Zuwairah beg almost at the verge of crying. She has been crying her self to sleep for the past seven days that Rasheed dropped the issue of divorce and now, she's about to start crying again.

"Rasheed please, I won't be able to live without you in my life,please don't do this to me please" she begged. Now, tears has started flowing down her cheeks.

"Please Rasheed forgive me for all of my sins,I won't dare repeat it again" she hug him tightly from the back, she's afraid that he will live her forever and ever.

"I love you too Zuwairah,I love you so much with all of my heart,but I need to save our family and you. It's very important for me to save you, most especially" he thought closing his eyes for a second.

He unclasp her hand from his body " woman don't you get it? I don't love you anymore! I hate you! I hate seeing your face! I hate hearing your voice" he told her coldly.

What's wrong with her? Is she not suppose to be angry for all what I said to her last week?

"Rasheed I know you're still angry with me but please don't drive me away from you,I can't bear it"

I can't too,I love you too much to let you go,but I don't have a choice.

"Learn how to coz I've move on Zuwairah,you're now in my past..now out of my room"

"Rasheed please" she keeps begging with tears in her eyes.

"I said out of my room!" He yell making her flinch.

"I'm your wife..please"

"You're not my wife,you're a slut! You're a witch who knows nothing than a way of how to kill her own husband... you're a big slut who is so desperate to give her self out just so she could be laid and-" he didn't finish as Zuwairah slapped him so hard on his cheek.

Yes my love,this is the reaction I want from you,I want you to hate me,hate me so so much that you wouldn't want to see my face again. Hate me and go away from here.

"How dare you?! How dare you Rasheed! You know you're my first in everything! You're my first lover! You're my first kisser and you're the first person who take my virginity. We did it Abdul, we make love"

"Love?" He scoff.

"We never make love but sex, I only sex a slut like you...now get out from my room!"

Now he could see the hate she had for him,it showed already in her eyes.

"Out of my room woman!" He said but she kept glaring at him.

"In fact your stay is getting longer than expected. I need you out of my house and life.....slut!" He mock at the last part.

It hurt so much,it hurt hearing from the man you love most in your life calling you a slut,it really hurt walahi.

"Fine!" She said.

"Wow! That easily?" He sarcastically said.

"I'll sign the papers,where are they?"

"What?!" That took him by surprise.

"I can't keep fighting for someone who doesn't know my value..it better I help you with your wish"

"Good!" He muttered,but deep down he's sad. He's feeling it already that half of him is leaving him. He thought for the past week he would find a way to bring Zulaiha down but none,he didn't find a way. He wish he could destroy her with all he had but half of it is already hers and she won't sign the papers not until Zuwairah and Rasheed get divorce.

At first,that wasn't her condition. At the first day, she agreed to put everything in places but now, she changed everything and Rasheed keeps wondering how did she keep knowing about his plan,coz all of his plan keeps back firing him...there's someone who keeps giving her information about him but who?

Zuwairah signed the papers without any hesitation "I hope you enjoy your freedom Mr Abdul" she said as she tried to hold her tears.

"You may leave now,your face is so disgusting"

"Thank you for everything,and I hope you won't regret this someday"

"There's nothing special about you,so stop putting your hope high woman..now leave my house before I throw you out"

"Good bye Abdul" she said and walk out of the room.

This will be the last time you'll see me Abdul,I'll go far away from you and I hope you enjoy your freedom.
