Chapter Nine

"Aunt, when will God cure mom and dad? I miss them." Mujtaba looks up at her, his brown orbs shining

in tears.

"Soon baby soon." She tells him, kissing his eyes to stop the tears. Mushk too didn't know what to say,

there was no proper answer to his question.

In the evening, once the weather was settled Mushk was called at her aunt's house.

She knew what was going to happen and to be honest she wasn't ready for it ,when her only family

was not with her.

Sitting beside Hana (Irtaza’s sister), she was in a dilemma, she didn't knew what to do. At one point her

brain was telling her to agree with it for the sake of children ,while her heart wasn't ready.

hurriedly runs out of their calling him rude.

Shaking his head at his sister who was as useless as money plant, he enter the room looking at

everyone who were still very quite.

He knew there was a tension present in the air.
