Jimmy walked out the door after changing his shoes. Noor didn't stand up from the bed until she heard Jimmy's car going out of the garage. She came down the stairs only to find out that Nancy has already arrived and is cleaning the house.
Nancy was a woman in her 40s, she was in charge of all the household work that is to be done in the house. "Nancy di, let me help you", Noor asked. "No… no, I will do it, it's my work, and you are Madam of this house this work does not suit you", Nancy insisted.
"I call you di and respect you like one. And what else I will do in such a big house if not housework", Noor answered. Noor took couch covers from Nancy and started removing the old ones and place new ones. "Don't say like that I agree that your marriage to master Jimmy was an arranged one, but he is a good man. Why don't you join his company and work with him?" after saying this Nancy realized she might have crossed her limits, she immediately apologized to her.
"No, you don't have to apologize for this di. I would like it if you treated me like a real sister", Noor smiled. "I will think about it but for first I will be leaving to buy some groceries from the market, please prepare me a list of what is all needed", Noor walked away with folded covers in her hand.
…
With a long list in her hand, Noor was wandering in the grocery section of a big mall. Crossing out every item she picks. After 30 mins she was done with all the things she was to buy. She paid the bill with her card and collected items in a bag. There was a calmness in her walk. She was checking out the clothes hung on mannequins while walking.
While walking towards the exit somebody called her name.
"Noor…" a voice from the back called her. Noor turned around to see it was two of her high school classmates. "Oh Noor, it's you. It's great to see you after such a long time", Haley gave Noor a hug. "Yes, how have you been. You got married to Jimmy and you guys didn't even invite us", Vinny complained.
"I am good guys. Everything happened too quickly Vinny we couldn't invite everybody. I am sorry", Noor apologized. "Oh it's not a problem, it's good to see that you are happy. Well, we are in a hurry today, let's meet some other time over a cup of coffee", Haley advanced. "Um… yes sure, see you guys. Bye" Noor turned around to leave and left.
"What a bitch", exclaimed Haley. "Ya right, I don't know how she got married to Jimmy. She was such a loser in high school", Vinny gritted her teeth. "Apart from a pretty face and a decent figure what does she have?" "She must have seduced Jimmy in bed with that figure of hers that's why she is now the young madam of the Carter family", Haley remarked.
"Did you see she had groceries in her hand? Being the wife of the most successful CEO of the town, she is buying groceries herself.. haha... She will always be a loser", both of them laughed while walking hand in hand.
