"Alia Akhtar get your butt in here right now!" I called Alia. she behaved so Rudely to hussain. I guess it was my fault. she walked in the door with tears streaming down her cheeks. "aww jaan. come here." I patted my lab. "what's the problem sweetie?" she sniffled. "I don't wanna be with hussain baba, I wanna be with fawad baba." I nodded. maybe this wasn't the best time for her."go get mammas phone jaan. mamma will call fawad baba." her face filled with excitement. she loved fawad. she ran from my lap and ran to my room to get my phone. Hussain was downstairs with Ali. he's my smarter more calm kid. Alia came running back to where I was and she handed me the phone. I went through my contacts and clicked on fawads contact number.

"hey fawad ."
"oh Ashi jaan. hey."
"baba!!!" Alia yelled through the phone. "Alia behave yourself. im talking na?- anyways fawad..Alia wants you to come over..you know she's a bit disturbed with hussain being back."
"uh- I'd love to but how will hussain react? I mean I don't wanna start anything.."
"fawad..I don't care. he's gone from my life, he just won't leave my kids."
*hussain POV*
"fawad..I don't care. he's gone from my life, he just won't leave my kids." what the fuck! who's this fahad dude! and why does she want me to leave MY kids? she's being so irrational right now.
"baba! please hurry!" I heard my little Alia scream. I was about to run in the room..only to realize she was talking to this fawad dude on the phone. she's my daughter..my princess. instead of calling me baba she called that fawad dude baba.
"ok fawad please hurry. I love you." WHAT? did she just say I love you? wtf! she's min- wait she's not mine. I asked for divorce..I cheated on her..I made that stupid bet..I ruined her life.
*ashi POV*
"ok. happy now? baba is coming."
"YAYYYYYY!" she screamed and kissed me. "I love you mamma. I'm sorry."
"it's ok jaan. but before fawad baba gets here, please go apologize to hussain baba."
"ok mamma."
"good girl. now go."
I sighed heavily and walked downstairs.
"-orry hussain baba." Alia stood there in front of hussain looking down to the floor with her hands wrapped in front of her.
"hey sweetie. why are you apologizing? if anything I should apologize."
"I'm still sowie.."she pouted.
hussain kissed for forehead. "I'm not mad princess. I can understand why you were mad at me. so what do you say? let's watch a movie and later I'll buy you ice cream?"
my visions became blurry due to tears forming in my eyes. I wanted us to be one big happy family again..but I couldn't trust hussain ever again. I closed me eyes letting my tears fall down my cheeks. I felt a tug on my leg and looked down to see my first baby. "mamma?"
I wiped my cheeks and bent down to him. "G jaan. what happened?"
"is baba coming?" I nodded.
"really!???"
"Haan Ali. babas coming." and right when I said that the doorbell rang. "go it must be your baba."
Ali answered the door and there walked in fawad.
I sighed as fawad walked up and wrapped his hands around my waist and kissed my forehead. "hey." I felt him whisper in my neck. "kids are in the living room." I rolled my eyes.
he let go and walked over to the living room. "hey kiddos!!! where are my kids!!!?" he bent down with his arms spread ready for a hug. "baba!" they both screamed and ran to fawad. all three of them fell over and starts laughing. I looked over at hussain and he had balled up his hands into a fist. why was he so angry? he didn't love me. "uh fawad."
"what?"
"Hussain."
"oh. hey man." fawad got up and reached his hands out so they could shake hands.
"I'm fawad, Ashi's boyfriend."
"hey I'm hussain, her ex-husband..I'm pretty sure you already know. don't be too friendly."
"uh yeah ok. Ashi can you meet me in the kitchen please. I'm hungry."
"uh ok. kids stay here..Mamma and baba will be right back. hussain can you..please?"
"yeah sure."
I don't know why he was so jealous. was he jealous anyways? whatever. we walked to the kitchen and fawad pulled on my wrist. "why'd he come back? after all these years. kyun wapas iya yeh?"
I broke down and started crying. "I don't know why. I don't know why he's back! he's the one who left me..toh kyun wapas iya? fawad my life is so complicated! for me and my kids. I was just learning to handle my life and he just shows up."
fawad pulled me into a hug.
"I don't know hun, all I want to know is do you still have feelings for him?" he cupped my cheeks and wiped my tears. "no. I don't have any feelings for him. the only feeling I have for him is hatred. I hate him." I replied with so much seriousness. he pulled me into a tighter longer hug. "I'm glad because your only mine.." he kissed the top of my hair. "now let's get dinner ready."I walked to the fridge and took out some chicken and pasta and the rest of the ingredients for chicken Alfredo. it was fawads and the kids favorite. while I was making dinner I realized chicken Alfredo was also hussains favorite. I didn't want him to think I made it because he's here.
*hussain POV*
he walked her to the kitchen! I'm sitting right here for crying out loud!"why'd he come back? after all these years. kyun wapas iya yeh?" I heard fawad while ashi was crying.
"I don't know why. I don't know why he's back! he's the one who left me..toh kyun wapas iya? fawad my life is so complicated! for me and my kids. I was just learning to handle my life and he just shows up."
fawad pulled her into a hug.
"I don't know hun, all I want to know is do you still have feelings for him?" he cupped her cheeks and wipedher tears. "no. I don't have any feelings for him. the only feeling I have for him is hatred. I hate him." She replied with so much seriousness. he pulled her into a tighter longer hug. "I'm glad because your only mine.." he kissed the top of her hair. I feel really bad that I ruined her life..but I had to end it before I got real feelings for her. I was in a relationship with komal, my childhood best friend. I've loved her forever. I finally got her to marry me. she knew I had kids, but she was still by my side. I actually came to give her my wedding invitation. I didn't think she was this hurt. I thought she must have moved on and had more children.she has moved on you dweeb.
whatever..she's still hurt though..and why am I talking to myself?
"Ashi?" I walked into the kitchen to her cooking.
"yeah what's up?" I handed her the card. "it's my wedding next weekend..and I'd like for you and the kids to come..and bring fawad. I'd love it if you came." I smiled at her. "oh congratulations hussain! I'll definitely try..Alia has a doctors appointment and Ali has soccer practice..I'll try to come to atleast to one function."
"thanks..well I'll be leaving now..I have to drive kinda far."
"atleast eat..I made the kids favorite..chicken Alfredo.."
"that's used to be my favorite.."
"I remember..I realized it as I was making it..it's the kids and fawads favorite too."
"I can't stay..I got a text from komal and she said she needs me for final wedding preparations. tomorrows the uptan and I wouldn't invited you but it was such a short notice..and I knew you wouldn't come..because it was such short notice..so I didn't tell you."
"you still know me really well...and it's ok you can go..tell komal I said congrats." she teared up.
"I do..and sure I'll tell her..bye." I saw a tear fall. "bye." she smiled at me weakly. komal never called me. I decided I can't stay here any longer. my kids were ignoring me and so was Ashi so I decided I should leave and never come back. ever
