Muhazat's world crumbled as she stood in the grand foyer of Khalil's family estate. The opulent chandelier above seemed to dim, casting shadows on the faces of those around her.
Aisha, her mother, revealed the shocking truth.
"Muhazat, Yusuf isn't your biological father," Aisha said, her voice trembling.
Muhazat's heart sank, her mind racing with questions.
"Who is?" Muhazat asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Aisha hesitated, her eyes locked onto Muhazat's.
"Rashid and I...we had an affair," Aisha confessed.
Muhazat reeled, her eyes widening in horror.
Khalil's eyes locked onto hers, filled with a mix of shock and despair.
"Muhazat, I'm your brother," Khalil whispered, his voice cracking.
Muhazat's eyes widened further, her mind struggling to comprehend.
"No, this can't be!" Muhazat exclaimed.
Aisha nodded, tears streaming down her face.
"I hid the truth to protect you, Muhazat. I was young and scared."
Muhazat's mind raced, memories flashing before her eyes.
Her love for Khalil now felt tainted, forbidden.
Khalil's face mirrored her turmoil, his eyes pleading.
"Muhazat, I never knew," Khalil said. "My love for you remains, despite this revelation."
Muhazat's heart ached, torn between her feelings and the shocking truth.
"Leave me alone," Muhazat whispered.
As Khalil departed, Amir appeared, a sly smile spreading across his face.
"Muhazat, now you see the truth," Amir sneered.
Muhazat's anger flared.
"You'll never win, Amir," Muhazat spat.
Amir's eyes gleamed.
"We'll see about that," Amir threatened.
Muhazat stormed out of the estate, into the night.
Seeking solace.
But Khalil's words echoed in her mind.
"We're siblings...yet my love remains."
Muhazat's heart trembled.
Forbidden love?
Or true destiny?
