Laila My Love - S01 E20

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 20

——

I packed my stuff and listened to Farid

this time, it’s not like I had any option

anyways. Telling Sobia wouldn’t help

especially when she is busy planning her

wedding with Rafay. I wonder what

she’ll think about me once she finds out.

I bet she’ll hate me just like everyone

else. I got inside Farid’s car and he

didn’t even glance at me once.

He stopped his car front of a huge

house, I wondered if it was his parents.

‘Whose place is it?’ I managed to ask,

wasn’t sure he’ll answer any of my

questions.

‘Mine’ He kept his answer short and

stepped out of the car. I grabbed my

bag and followed him inside. The house

was beautiful, it was warm and had

a character, unlike Farid’s personality.

‘It was my mothers’ He said suddenly.

‘Sorry?’

‘The house, she designed it’

‘Oh, it’s nice’ I smiled but he didn’t.

‘There is some food in the kitchen if you

want something, in meanwhile, I’ll get

your bedroom set up’

‘Oh okay’ I picked up my bag from the

ground to take it with me to the kitchen

but he stopped me.

‘Where are you going?’

‘To the kitchen’

‘I’ll take your bag upstairs’ He took the

bag from my hands and went upstairs

and I went to the kitchen to find some

food.

After finishing a bowl of instant noodles,

I walked upstairs to find Farid. I need to

talk to him about us.

I found him in one of the room, it was

big but not as big as the other two

bedrooms I checked. I think this was

mine.

He was looking out the window, there

was a small lake nearby and I could see

the moonlight dancing on the water. It

was so beautiful. He looked so different

just then. He looked peaceful.

I knocked on the door and he turned to

me instantly.

‘Sorry’ I mumbled and walked inside the

room.

‘This is your room’ He was being really

awkward. He was never this nice.

‘Is everything okay?’

‘Yeah, why do you ask? It’s not me who

got kicked out of the house?’ He raised

his eyebrows at me.

‘Thanks for the reminder’ I turned to

leave but he held my shoulder to stop

me.

‘I…’

‘Let go now’ I tried to pull my hand

away but it was no use.

‘Don’t talk to me like this, I have warned

you before too’ His voice got louder and

his presence grew in the room making

me feel small and weak yet again.

I got a hold of myself and turned

around. I was too tired to run away

from him.

‘Or else what? What are you going to do

now? Kick me out of this place too? Not

give me money? What are you going to

do now? I am done being your toy

Mr.Ibrahim.

Don’t even think of a second

you are doing any favors on me. You

need me as much as I need you, you

hear me.’ I didn’t realize I was shouting

at him until I finished talking.

He let go of my hand and I took a step

back and sat on the edge of the bed,

breathing heavily at this point.

‘Try to get some sleep’ He walked out

and closed the door on his way out.

I opened my phone and saw there were

a lot of texts and calls from Sobia, maybe

she did find out about my marriage after

all.

I called her back and in one ring she

picked up the phone.

‘What the hell, where are you? Do you

know how scared I was? I went to your

house and found out about you and that

guy? Are you okay? Are you safe? Did he

do anything to you?’ She was panicking,

she worried for me.

‘I…I am okay’ I was crying at this point.

‘Laila, where are you ?’

‘At Farid’s house.’

‘What? No, go back home. I am sure

your aunty will understand’

‘No, she won’t, I tried Sobia. She doesn’t

want me anymore’

‘Okay then come to me. I will come and

pick you up’

‘I will see you tomorrow, I need to just

breathe and be alone for a while’

‘Okay, just don’t block me and

remember I am here for you no matter

what’ Sobia was my truest friend and I

was so lucky to have her with me.

I changed into more comfortable clothes

and laid down on the bed, I kept turning

left and right for hours until my eyes

shut themselves and I drifted into a

dreamless sleep.
