"Finally you remembered to come back," Hadiya said sarcastically. Zarib Shah gave her a cold look.
"I came to Pakistan after a long time and don't want to fight with you. We are old now. It does not suit us. our children have grown up. If you can't improve your behavior, then keep quiet." Zarib Shah told her by his words that he did not changed
"Wow. You are still the same . You have not changed at all and always think that I'm wrong. But the fact is that you did wrong to me. Then how can I improve my behavior? How can I be quiet?" She shouted aggressively. Zarib Shah did not consider it appropriate to answer her.
"What do you think of yourself? Do you consider yourself a precious thing? No. You are nothing for me. I am not dying for you. I damn care about you. " Hadiya told him arrogantly.
"I don't even need your care but our children need the care of both of us. We can't involve them in our fight. " Zarib Shah replied.
"Ohh, finally You realize our children were affected by our fight. You stayed away from them for a long time. Now why do you care about them? They are my children. I raised them and have the authority to make every decision for them. You don't even need to worry about them ." Hadiya spoke bitterly.
"I was with them even when I was far away from them. I know all how much you cared about them. " Zarib Shah said. Hadiya became silent. That was the truth. She started her own business when Zarib Shah went abroad. She never gave proper attention and time to her children. They had two children. Nayab and zaryab. Maah e roo was not important for both of them.
"Oh really? What about maah e roo. She is also your child." She used maah e roo to taunt him. This time Zarib left speechless.
" I have to go to a meeting. You take a rest." Hadiya said and went outside. Zarib Shah did not even look at her.
...….
Sufyan was serving food to the people wearing the waiter's uniform at a five-star restaurant when his Mobile phone rang. He went aside answering the call of his mother.
"Hello mama."
"Hello Sufyan, Can you come home now?" Sarah said.
"Is everything okay? Are you alright?" He asked anxiously.
"Yes, I want to go to Shah palace to meet Zarib. They have come back. We have to go to see him"
"Okay Mama, I am coming " He said and hung up the call. He came home on a cab taking leave from the restaurant manager . He reached Shah Palace with her mother and younger sister by the same cab. Sarah's eyes welled up as she saw her brother after a long time. She was angry with him because he gave up on urwa and did not try to find him. He hated maah e roo also and left her alone. He was the reason for her bad condition. But she knew when he would see maah e roo once In that condition, he would forget his hate.
"How's my dear sister?" Zarib asked, hugging her
"I am angry with you. I suffered a lot of grief. My husband passed away. You did not even come to comfort me." She complained. Zarib Shah was embarrassed.
"Sorry. Forgive me." It was all that he could say at that time.
"I will forgive you but what about Mah e Roo? She will never forgive you. You did so wrong to her. " Zarib's heart sank with this regret. He couldn't even see her because of this regret. He gave her punishment for the sin which she didn't do. Sufyan, who was standing beside him, saw the signs of sadness on his face.
"Hello uncle." He greeted him. Zarib Shah smiled a little while hugging him. After talking to Zarib for a while, Sufyan came out of the room and came to the third floor. When he entered Mah e Roo's room, he saw Nayab standing near Mah e Roo's bed. He could not understand the strange expressions on Nayab's and Mah e Roo's faces.
"Ohh... Saifi . It's good that you came here. Ask her to meet baba. I am trying hard to convince her but she is not agreeing" Nayab said quickly. Sufyan looked at Mah e Roo.
"I don't want to meet him. I have already told you. Why are you irritating me? Get out of here." Mah e Roo broke the record of rudeness . She knew that in front of Sufyan, Nayab would not be able to say and do anything to her.
"Nayab Sis, you go. I will talk to her." He said. Nayab nodded and went out.
" How is my little Doll." he sat before her.
"I am not your doll. That Witch is your doll"
"Witch? Who? What are you saying?" He said in wonder.
''whom you called Sis." Sufyan stopped his laughter.
"Don't be outraged. I will not call her sis again." Sufyan said politely.
"Call me Sis too" Mah e Roo ordered. Sufyan frowned.
"Ok sis. Now happy?" He patted her head.
" Don't call Nayab sis again . Instead, call her witch." she said innocently.
"Very bad, Doll. She's older than you. You should respect her" Sufyan gave her advice.
"Do the little ones not deserve respect? You always point out my mistakes as everyone is perfect except me" She got angry.
"No. You are perfect because you are my doll." He said, pinching her nose.
"I know I am not. Don't lie and get out of here." Mah e Roo shook his hand away. She was annoyed. She was fed up of everything and every person that time.
"Don't you want to see Mama. She is waiting for you" Sufyan wanted her to come down.
"What? ... Auntie Sarah has come. Why did not she come up?" She fumed. He sighed.
