Chapter Forty Four

"Look mom, what happened to Mushk, and it's all because of you!" Irtaza yells at the end, pointing at

his father who does not meet his eyes.

"Only if you weren't so blind to your so called people, Mushk wouldn't have faced this today." Irtaza

painfully whispers, still in his mothers arms, who was wiping his son's tears.

A man only cries in front of two women in his life, his mother and his wife, and one shouldn't be

ashamed of pouring his feelings out.

No matter how old a person, he will always find solace in his women's arms, be it his mother or his

wife.

Slowly getting up, he leaves the study, giving one last accusing look to his father. Hussain was about to

say something to his wife, when she motions him to stop.

"Whatever happens Hussain, I will never forget what you did to my son." Saying this, she too leaves

the room leaving Hussain alone to drown in a pool of guilt.

It was morning, the atmosphere was gloomy in the house. It was dead quiet, everyone was at the table

waiting for Mushk and Hana to show up, who went to get her.

Soon soft footsteps were heard and Irtaza looked up to see Mushk coming down, in a light green knee

length shirt with cream cigarette pants, a veil sat gracefully on her head, yet one look on her face, all

the anger rushed back like a force of wind.

He hisses and looks at the little munchkin on his lap who bit his finger, trying to gain his attention back

and gave him a toothless grin, then turns to look at Mushk giving her a grumpy look, as if complaining Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

that she is taking his attention.

Irtaza chuckles at the baby and kisses his head, feeling satisfied, Murtuza leans back resting himself

on Irtaza's chest, as if it was a soft sofa, making him softly laugh at the baby.

A small screech makes him look up to see Mushk pulling up a chair in front of him and sitting down,

Mujtaba immediately runs to his aunt and sits beside her making Mushk smile at the little boy.

Awkward. It was pure awkward for everyone, when Mushk decided to break this atmosphere.

"Aunt.... I'm... Thinking about moving back to our house.. " Mushk softly tells Yasmin.

"Why? Isn’t this your home? Aren’t we your people?" Yasmin was offended by her words.

"No aunt, you are getting me wrong. It's just that I'm missing the place." Mushk immediately shakes her

head, not wanting to disappoint the lady who did so much for her.

"Okay then, no problem, you can go there in the evening with Hana and Irtaza, spend a little time there

and then come back till night. I want to see you all here by then." Yasmin strictly tells her, leaving no

space for any arguments.

Mushk nods her head and continues her breakfast, but Irtaza's appetite was long gone seeing Mushk

in front of him, though the little munchkin in his lap didn't allowed his uncle to look anyone other than

him.
