Her name was Hania

Hania looked at Mariam Hayatt and said out, “ Mariam, close the showroom. We have to leave. You can come with me.” Mariam nodded her head. Flora said to Hania, “ Okay, then I will drive you and Mariam.” Hania said out, “ There is no need. We can take a taxi. You should go home. Our house isn’t far away from here. We will go by taxi.” Flora said out, “ Usually you always go to your home before sunset. But today it’s too much late for you. I made you late. Because of me you are getting late. I wanted to see the latest designs of the bags. That’s why you become late. Let me drop you.” Hania said out, “ It’s okay Flora. I am not alone. Mariam will go with me. So, don’t worry.”

Hania entered into the flat. Her grandmother opened the door for her. When Hania entered into the flat her grandmother closed the door. Rehana Parvin said out, “ You shouldn’t come at this late. It’s not okay for a girl. You know I was feeling so worried about you. It’s already 9:30 p.m.” Hania said with little smile, “ You know very well I also don't like to stay outside of the house this late. I always try to get home before sunset or right after the sunset. But today I couldn’t come because of some important works. I already called you and told you about that. By the way, I didn’t come alone. Mariam came with me. So, stop worrying about me nani. I can look after myself. And I know very well what I should do and what I shouldn’t do. Nani, I am starving. I am going to the washroom to freshen up then I will eat the dinner. Can you just ready the dinner. What you cooked today?” Rehana Parvin said, “ Today I cooked fish curry, chicken curry and mixed vegetables. Did you pray the Isha Salah?” Hania said out, “ No, I didn’t pray the Isha Salah. Actually I am feeling so hungry. That’s why I will eat the dinner now. And then I will pray the Salah. There is still time to pray the Isha Salah. Just ready the foods, I will come within 15 minutes.”

Flora and Hania were talking inside Flora's bedroom. Before that Hania never came in Flora's house, it was her first time. Today Flora told her to come with her in her home. It was holiday. That’s why Hania came with her in her home. It was 11:50 a.m. Hania looked at her hand's watch. She said out, “ Flora, I should go now. Otherwise I will get late. Nani, will be feel alone without me. Today is holiday, so I don’t want to stay outside of the home for long time. You know very well usually in holidays I like to stay at the home. I should leave now.” Flora said out, “ You just came about one hour ago. Now you want to leave. It’s not fair. Just stay here. Eat the lunch with me.” Hania said with little smile, “ Sorry, I can't. You know very well I need to take a shower now. And then I need to pray the Salah. I should leave now. Otherwise I will be late.” Flora said out, “ Okay, then I will drive you at home. My driver took a leave for today. So, I have to drive you.” Hania said, “ You don’t have to. I can go by taxi. It’s not a big deal.” Flora said, “ No, it’s a big deal. I cannot let you go alone. It’s not India. You don’t know about the streets of our this area. It’s not our showroom's area or streets. Let me drop you.” Hania nodded her head. She knew that Flora won't leave her alone. And she would drive her at her home.

Flora's house was two storied building. It was really a nice and simple house. Flora's father wasn’t at the home. Flora and Hania left the home. They just started walking towards the car of Flora. At that moment they noticed that someone's car stood in front of Flora's house gate. The guard opened the gate. It was Flora's fiance's car. Flora gave a questioning look. Flora's fiance Daniel James came out from the car, then Chakrit Ma also got down from the car. Flora said out, “ What they are doing here. Today I didn’t invite them to come.” Hania also saw them. Daniel and Chakrit came to them. Flora said out, “ What are you guys doing here? I didn’t invite you to come.” Daniel instantly said out with smile, “ Why? Cannot we come here without invitation? Come on, I am your fiance. And I can come here to meet with you.” Flora said out, “ Yea, you can come. But I was just leaving. [Flora looked at Hania. She said out] Hania, he is my fiance Daniel, Daniel James. And Daniel she is my best friend Hania. I told you about her.” Daniel instantly gave his hand to handshake with Hania. He said out with smile, “ Hi, Ms. Hania.” Hania felt so awkward because of the situation. As a Muslim girl she couldn’t handshake with a man. Flora knew that very well. Flora looked at Hania. Without handshake Hania said out, “ Hi, Mr. Daniel.” Hania didn’t handshake with him. Daniel and Chakrit found it little awkward. They looked at each other. Flora instantly said out, “ You cannot handshake with her. She is a Muslim girl. So, keep your hand to yourself. Even in India maximum girls doesn’t like to handshake with a man. It doesn’t matter from which religions they come from. Indian girls are little different. [Chakrit looked at Hania with curious look.] By the way, why both of you come here? I am not free now. I have to leave now. I need to drive Hania at her house.” Daniel said out, “ I came here to pick you up for lunch. Chakrit and I thought to eat the lunch together. Then I thought about you. That’s why I came here. Today is holiday that’s why I wanted to eat the lunch together. If your friend Hania wouldn’t mind then she can come with us. It will be good.” Flora said, “ I already offered her to eat the lunch with me. But she refused. Her grandmother is at the home. So, she needs to go now. I think I cannot go with you today Daniel. You should enjoy your lunch with Chakrit.” Hania instantly said out, “ No, Flora. You should go with them. I can go by taxi. You don’t need to worry about me.” Flora said, “ I need to worry about you. I am going to drop you at your home.” Hania said, “ I can go. You should go with them.” Daniel instantly said to Flora, “ I think I have a solution. Look, Flora, you and Ms. Hania can come with us. I will drop her at her home. Then we will go to the restaurant for our lunch. What you say?” Flora said out, “ Yea, that’s a good idea. Let's go Hania.” Hania said, “ Why you are bothering Flora? I can go by a taxi.” Flora said with irritating tone, “ Come with us. Daniel will drop you.”

Hania was sitting on the back seat of the car with Flora. Daniel and Chakrit were sitting on the front seats. Daniel was driving his car. Daniel said out, “ So, Ms. Hania. How long will you stay here in Thailand?” Hania said out, “ I am still not sure.” Daniel said with questioning tone, “ You aren’t sure?” Flora said out, “ Actually she came here to meet with her husband. When she will meet with him she will leave.” Daniel said with confusing tone, “ So, Ms. Hania is a married women! You never told me that. You just told me that she is your best friend and she is your business partner. By the way, you just told that when she will meet with him she will leave? What do you mean?” Flora said out, “ Actually her husband is now in Thailand. There is just some misunderstanding between them. Hania wants to make everything alright. She doesn’t know where he is living now. She came here to find him. Just pray that soon she will find him out.” Daniel said out, “ It’s all confusing. So, Ms. Hania, your husband doesn’t live in India?” Hania said out, “ No, he doesn’t lives in India. Because of his works he has to stay outside of India.” Flora instantly said, “ Her husband usually doesn’t lives in India. He completed his graduation from Oxford University. He was a topper student. He was really brilliant. Now he is working in a software company. We don't know in which company. He is a software engineer. Do you know one thing Daniel? He is a super brilliant but he has zero IQ. [Hania glared at Flora. Flora noticed her glaring. Flora said out] Don’t glare at me. It’s truth. He is a fool. How he couldn’t trust in you? We know very well which types of girl you are. This is ridiculous! If you find him then let me to meet with him. I will teach him a lesson. How he couldn’t trust you? I will hit his with a iron rod. It will be good teach for him.” Hania said out, “ Flora, please! Don’t talk about him like that. He is my husband. You know very well in that type of situation any guy couldn’t trust in me. I cannot blame him fully. I still couldn’t prove my innocence. Now, please, don’t talk about him like that.” Flora said, “ Okay, I got it. By the way, Daniel, I didn’t tell you one thing. Our Hania was also a brilliant student. She was the topper in our university. You already know that our university is a famous university in India. I am really glad that Hania is my best friend.” Hania said with irritating tone, “ Stop praising about me. You know very well I hate that.” Flora said out, “ Oh! I am sorry I forgot that. But it’s true. You are brilliant person.” Daniel said out, “ Ms. Hania, do you need my help to find your husband? If you need my help then just tell me. I will definitely help you. After all you are Flora's best friend.” Hania said, “ No, it’s okay. There is no need. Flora already helped me to hire a female detective.” Flora instantly said out, “ She doesn’t need your help. I am already here to help her.” Chakrit said out, “ Ms. Hania you didn’t tell me that you are trying to find your husband. I can also help you. I know some good and famous detective. They can help you.” Before Hania could say anything Flora said out, “ Usually Hania doesn’t like to ask help from a man. You are a man. Why she would ask your help? By the way, I already helped my friend to hire a good detective. So, don’t worry. You should just concentrate on our case. That Nathi Mike should get his punishment. We don’t want to loose our showroom in his hand.” Chakrit Ma said, “ Yea, I got that. I am trying best. But you know very well it’s law. So, it will take little time. Let's see what happen in future.”

It was night time. Hania was praying her Salah. When she finished her Salah she started crying and begging to Allah to help her. She needed Allah's help. At that moment, Rehana Parvin entered into her room. Hania instantly stopped her crying. She wiped her tears. But Rehana Parvin already noticed her crying and tears. Hania was sitting on the prayer mat. Rehana Parvin went near her. Hania said out, “ Nani! Do you need anything?” Rehana Parvin said, “ Were you crying Hania?” Hania said with little smile, “ No, nani. I wasn’t crying.” Rehana Parvin sat near her. She said out, “ I know very well you were crying. Don't tell lie in front of me. I know about your situation. [Rehana Parvin hold Hania's one palm with her two palms. She said out] It was all my fault. I shouldn’t fix that marriage. I just destroy your life. I don’t know what will be Farhad's decision. I don’t know if he will accept you or not. But I am praying to Allah to give you a happy and a peaceful life. Just faith in Allah. Soon everything will be alright.” Hania said, “ I know nani, you are worried about me and about my future. Don’t blame yourself nani. It wasn’t your fault. It was my fate. I trust in Allah. Allah will help me. Allah will help me to find Farhad. Farhad have to understand me. Don’t worry nani. And don’t think too much.”

Hania, Flora and Chakrit Ma were talking about their land and showroom's case inside the cabin of the showroom. Suddenly Hania got a call. She took her phone from the table. It was the female detective. She instantly received the call. The female detective told her that she found Farhad. And she knew his address. She said to Hania that she would send the address of Farhad's house by message. Hania couldn’t understand what to say. After talking with Hania the female detective instantly cut the call. Hania didn’t know how she was feeling. Flora and Chakrit noticed her facial expression. She was looking different. Flora said out, “ What happen Hania? Is everything okay?” Tears started falling from Hania’s eyes. Hania said out, “ Flora, the female detective found Farhad. She is sending me the house address of Farhad. I still cannot believe. She found him! She found his address!” Flora instantly said, “ Why there are tears in your eyes? You should be happy. Finally, you are going to meet with him. I will go with you. I cannot let you go alone.” Before Hania could say anything, she got a message from the female detective. It was Farhad's house address. Flora said out, “ Did she message you the address?” Hania nodded her head. Hania said, “ Yea, she sent the address of Farhad’s house.” Flora said out, “ Give me the phone. Let me see the address. I will take you there.” Hania gave the phone towards Flora. Flora took the phone. She saw the address. She looked at Hania. She said to Hania, “ Do you want to go there now? It’s already 8:30 p.m.” Hania said out, “ Yea, I want to go there now. It’s only 8:30 p.m. It’s not that late. Can you take me there now Flora?” Flora said, “ Obviously I can take you there. But are you ready to meet with him now? Are you ready to talk with him now?” Hania nodded her head.
