Hamdan looked at the man who was supposed to be defending his sister. Such a betrayal was too much for one person to handle. The man who had been protective of his sister before was now letting his family slander and hurt her. What is going on?
Hafsa’s laughter rung in the hall resonating through the room. It was a laughter of delight and mockery. “Who would have thought that your brother agrees with us and even supports our decision so blatantly? By the way, I have not heard my daughter-in-law talk since the meeting started. Humeyra, what do you have to say for yourself?”
All eyes turned to look at the girl sitting at the corner playing on her phone. She looked too detached from the discussion that was on-going as though it had nothing to do with her. Hamdan was the only one aware about the changes that had happened to his wife. He was somehow grateful that Saeed was chill about what was going on. He could not withstand Humeyra’s tears.
