Nazmeera felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest when Umme Khultum ran into the room.She saw the confused look on Hamza's face and she saw the mixed emotions that clouded his eyes.

"Mamaaaaa." Nazmeera looked down at Umme Khultum and gave her a shaky smile.

"Yes habibty."

"How you know twins daddy?" Umme Khultum asked pointing at Hamza who gasped when he realized that she was the child from the restaurant.

Nazmeera thought back to the day at the restaurant and bit her cheek.Ya Allah they had been so close and now He has brought them face to face.Nazmeera kneeled down and tried smiling at Umme Khultum.

"How would you like if Nikki took you for some ice cream at the park?" Umme Khultum got a big smile on her face and she nodded her head enthusiastically.

"Oh mama.I will love that." Nazmeera stood up and she looked at Nikki who had a sympathetic look on her face as she knew who Hamza was from Nazmeera talking about him since they were friends.

"Cancel whatever meetings I have for today and take her to the park.You do have the money I give for her expenses?"

"Yes ma'am.Come Umme Khultum." Hamza put a hand to his chest when he felt it tighten when the woman took the child's name.He had only known that she was an Umme but he never got what came after that.He watched as the child turned to wave at Nazmeera as she skipped out of the room.

Once the door was closed Hamza looked at Nazmeera with anger filled eyes and she almost flinched but held back,crossing her arms over her chest ready for the fight that would take place.

"Is....is she my child?" Nazmeera felt her temper flare at his question and in that moment picking up the paperweight and throwing it at Hamza did not seem like a bad idea but Nazmeera only glared at him.

"May I remind you Mr.Sulaiman that we are still married so obviously she is your child." Hamza raked his mind.

"You were on the contraception."

Nazmeera rolled her eyes,gritting her teeth,"A little reminder your beloved wife had her babies and I went off it because I never expected you to come and sleep with me."

Hamza remembered that he had slept with Nazmeera on the night Aamanah went to the tribe,the night before he lost his cool and ruined so many things.He gave Nazmeera an accusing look.

"You kept my child away from me for 6 years?How could you be so heartless Nazmeera?"

Nazmeera scoffed and clapped her hands,"Wow I'm heartless?Well if protecting my daughter from being taken advantage off and from being used as a rag makes me heartless then yes I am heartless Mr.Sulaiman."

Hamza pinced the bridge of his nose with his forefinger and thumb,"How would she have been taken advantage of?I would treat her in the same way that I treat Umar and Uthmaan.She is my blood."

Nazmeera humorless laugh bounced off the walls and Nazmeera knew that what she was about to say would probably hurt Hamza but if she had to keep herself and her daughter away from his perfect family,if she did not want to ruin her cousin's home again she had to say it.

"Oh you would definitely treat them the same but what about that wife of yours?For her my child getting scolded would mean her children wouldn't?Remember her words "I thought this would happen with Nazmeera".How damn selfish could your wife be?I gave up my life for her,married her husband for her and she couldn't even think one good for me.A woman who couldn't think good for her cousin like sister how would she think good for my child.I'm sorry Mr.Sulaiman but as a mother I refused to see my child go through the same pain that I went through.You can't blame a mother's heart for being protective.I took all of your wife's shit but I won't let her shit affect my child.She felt as if she was losing her children when she was the one who asked me to feed them,when I only tried to help her out and all I thought was good for her.I kept my child safe from all of that so be thankful in fact you should have celebrated that this trouble was out of your life.In fact your wife probably did celebrate hey she must have been over the world to see her rival leave.So now why should I come back into that life that gave me so little when my daughter and I are happy in our life."

"OUR DAUGHTER!" Hamza bellowed out and Nazmeera flinched at his furious expression,taking a step back when he picked up a mug and threw it across the room.

"She's my daughter Nazmeera.You yourself said that you can't blame a mother's heart for being protective dammit!Aamanah was new to all of that,she was new to the whole sharing and she was a new mother as well."

Nazmeera scoffed,her eyes going soft,"I was new to it as well Hamza,"Hamza took a deep breath when for the first time she took his name and her hoarse,hurt voice made ever beat of his heart turn to one of pain,"It was my first marriage.I never asked for it,she asked that I marry you.She asked me to share her husband.I didn't ask for it for that life Hamza.You were my first love,my every thought and more so you were my husband as well.I made every sacrifice yet I was given nothing in return from her.So can you blame me from staying away and keeping my child away.A person can only tolerate so much before they give up."

Hamza watched Nazmeera's soft look get taken over by her poker face and he took a step front.

"Does she know that I'm her father?"

Nazmeera shook her head,"She knows she has a father but she doesn't know that you are her father."

"Hasn't she asked for me?"

Nazmeera rolled her eyes again and this was ticking Hamza off,"Duh she has but she feels that having her mother only is enough and I agree.She doesn't need a father in her life,I grew up just fine without one and so will she."

Hamza slammed his hands on the table,"Does that mean that you won't let me meet her or you won't even tell her that her father is here?My daughter will not grow up without a father Nazmeera even this means I have to take you to court to fight for her I will."

Nazmeera tilted her head,"No you won't.You and I both know that's an empty threat.You already know how much she means to me and you won't be able to take her away from me.You think that by telling me that I'll get scared and agree to come back with you because you might take my daughter away.You wrong.I'm not that old Nazmeera Mr.Sulaiman I am not weak.I can fight for my daughter if we go to court and I will."

Hamza clenched his jaw and stepped forward,"That was just a threat but yes I will.Can you imagine Nazmeera due to your stubbornness our daughter will be scarred at such a young age?For the rest of her life she'll be like you.A broken woman because her mother had so much stubbornness that she refused to prevent her from being stretched into two directions.Are you willing to do that for your daughter?"

Nazmeera crossed her arms over her chest,"I'll give her so much love that the entire proceedings will seem like a bad dream.I'lll protect her so much that she'll never feel that knife on her back."

Hamza shoved his hands in his pocket giving Nazmeera an almost sinister smile,"Think about it once again,I'm giving you tonight to think about this.Tomorrow I'll come for my answer and if it's the same then we at war."

He walked towards the door and opened it only to be stopped by her voice.

"If you want to meet her I have a condition." Hamza took a relieved breath and turned to look at Nazmeera who had her back towards him.

"You can ask me for anything and I'll give it to you for this meeting with my daughter?"

Nazmeera turned around her hands crossed over her chest,"What I want is something that doesn't have a price but might cost you heavily.Tonight you can come to the house but you can't tell your wife that you've met me and that you coming to meet my daughter.You won't tell your wife a word about what happened between us in this room until I give you permission to.Agreed?"

Hamza froze at what Nazmeera said.If he hid this from Aamanah she would be hurt but if he did not agree then he'd lose his chance to meet his daughter without involving the courts and he might be able to convince Nazmeera to return with him.Right now he was like that man who stood on an island where on one side he had the river and on the other he had a well yet he could not drink water.

If he agreed he would hurt Aamanah and meet his daughter but if he did not agree he would be hurting his daughter the most by involving the court.

"Well I see you must have made your decision to tell your wife.I presume that we will be meeting in....."

"I agree." Hamza said looking at Nazmeera in the eye his mind fixed upon what he had to do and somewhere in his mind he did a happy dance at the surprised look on Nazmeera's face which she cleared away,nodding her head.

"Okay then let me give you my address.Be there at 6."

Hamza entered the hotel room,his heart surprisingly still beating normally and his head in a turmoil that could not be explained.

Was he doing the right thing by hiding this from Aamanah?Since when had Nazmeera turned into such a stone hearted woman who hated Aamanah's guts so much that she would look for ways to hurt Aamanah.

Hamza was brought out of his thoughts when small arms wrapped around his legs.Hamza smiled kneeling to hug his son's.

"Abi you holding us toooooo tight." Umar complained wiggling in Hamza's hold and Hamza let go off Uthmaan but he playfully squeezed Umar who squealed.

"Abiiii let me gooooooo."

"Noooo,I'm going to eat you up." Hamza acted as if he was biting down on Umar which cause Uthmaan to come running over and try to pull Umar away.

"Ummi come help.Abi is eating Umar." Aamanah walked out of the room to find her husband with Umar in his arms and Uthmaan trying to pull his brother.She started laughing as she made her way to Hamza and pulled Umar out of his grasp causing Uthmaan to hide behind her legs.

"No monster can eat my son up while I'm here." Hamza stood up and smiled at Aamanah,a twinge of guilt hitting him but he made sure he did not let it show on his face.

"We'll then I'll just have to eat the mummy as well." Aamanah turned on her heel with Uthmaan making a beeline for the room while Hamza followed them to the room.

Aamanah put Umar on the bed and grabbed a pillow playfully hitting Hamza who stood there baffled before grabbing another pillow and returning the hit.

What started out with the two of them turned into a two against two thing.Once Aamanah called peace they all laid on the be,Hamza's one hand around Aamanah and the other around Uthmaan while Aamanah held him with one hand and her other held Umar's.

"How was your day?" Hamza was brought out of his thoughts at that question and he smiled at Aamanah.

"Good and what did you'll do today?"

"I took them for swimming then we had lunch and then we just stayed here.Tonight we having supper here right?"

Hamza gave her an apologetic smile,"Unfortunately the people we signing a contract with requested that I join them for a business meeting supper and since it's so cold I figured you would want to stay here with the children."

Aamanah nodded understandingly,"Of course,it's pretty cold at night and we wouldn't want to disturb you'll.What time do you leave?"

"Half past 5.So we got time to relax for about an hour." Aamanah nodded laying her head on his chest.

"I love you Aamanah." Aamanah looked up at him with a smile.

"I love you too Hamza." Hamza held her tighter and apologized mentally,hoping she would understand why he was lying to her.

Nazmeera sat in the lounge watching Umme Khultum coloring and took a deep breath,trying to summon her courage to tell Umme Khultum that her father was coming.She did not want Umme Khultum to be put on a spot when Hamza came.

"Khultum please come here love." Umme Khultum stood up and made her way to her mother,standing in front of her.

"Yes mama." Nazmeera held her daughter's hands and smiled gently.

"You remember how you asked me about your dada the other day?" Umme Khultum nodded her head once and Nazmeera took a deep breath.

"Umme Khultum your dada is coming to meet you today." Nazmeera felt her daughter go still and tears fill her eyes.

"Dada....dada is coming to meet Umme Khultum?" Nazmeera nodded her head and Umme Khultum pulled her hands away.

"Umme don't want to meet dada.What if dada don't like Umme?What if he hurts Umme?" Nazmeera held her child's face in her hands.

"He loves you already Umme Khultum and he won't hurt you.If he tries mama is here.He really wants to meet you my baby." Umme Khultum smiled.

"Dada loves Umme?" Nazmeera nodded and Umme Khultum's smile grew.

"Umme needs to change then.My dada is coming." She attempted to pull Nazmeera up who stood up and Umme Khultum led her to the room.

"Mama take out Umme red dress and white shoes.Umme want to look pretty when dada comes." Naeera wiped away the tears that fell at Umme Khultum's happiness and in that moment she realized what a big mistake she made keeping Umme Khultum away from Hamza.Her child did need a father and Hamza would be that father,she would not allow her child to be hurt and she believed that Hamza would not hurt her child.

Nazmeera stood in the kitchen setting the table while watching Umme Khultum alternate between coloring and looking at the door.Nazmeera had just finished setting the table when the doorbell rang and Umme Khultum stood up,her face filled with an excitement and Nazmeera watched how she rocked on her heels.

"Would you like to open the door Umme Khultum?" Umme Khultum looked at her mother shaking her head.

"No you open.Umme is scared." Nazmeera caressed her child's cheek.

"Don't be scared.He loves you." Umme Khultum nodded and Nazmeera placed a kiss on her forehead before making her way to open the door.

"As salaam mu alaykum Nazmeera." Hamza greeted her once she opened the door and Nazmeera kept her poker face in place as he handed her roses.

"Wa alaykum mu salaam Mr.Sulaiman.You did not have to bring these."

Hamza felt a pang go through his heart at her cold attitud,"Well it was my duty to bring it and please call me Hamza."

"Mr.Sulaiman is just fine.Please come in."

Nazmeera stepped aside and Hamza entered the apartment only for his eyes to land on his beautiful daughter who stood looking at him curiously.

He dropped the bag in his hand and walked towards Umme Khultum,dropping on his knees before her.

"As salaam mu alaykum Umme Khultum." He watched her glance around him and turned his head anough to see Nazmeera nod at her with a smile.He looked back at Umme Khultum who took small steps forward until her feet were inches away from his knees.Hamza looked in to her awe filled special eyes.

"You my dada?"

"Yes Umme Khultum I'm your dada." He watched a smile spread across her face and she threw her arms around his nec,burying her face in his neck.

"Dada." Hamza felt tears fall and he wrapped his arms around her.

"My baby."

Nazmeera watched the sight before her in awe and tears fell.The scene that unfolded in front of her was beautiful and she could not help but cry.Something she never imagined would happen was happening and her heart was at ease.This was what true happiness felt like and she was grateful to Allah for making them meet.Now she could only hope that things went smoothly and In Sha Allah they would work this out.
