"And give to the women their Mahr with a good heart; but if they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, take it and enjoy it without fear of any harm."

(Aayah No. 4, Surah An-Nisa', Chapter No. 4, Holy Qur'an).

Secrets unveiled part 2

The horror on Arzoo's face was clear, Nobody said a word until Zaroon's father came to the living room.

"What are you doing here? I thought this place was too mediocre for you" he says and goes to stand beside Zaroon.

"I have not come to create any drama, she called me here" Arzoo points at me and everybody turns and looks at me.
I felt like the criminal.

"Ayaat?" Zaroon says vaguely.
"I can explain" I say with a heavy breath.
"Tell me? Why? Why did you ask her to come?" Zaroon comes towards me as I move back a little on the sofa.
"And even if she did call you why did you come? Dint you know this is where we live?" Zaroon asks Arzoo.
"My apologies. No I didnt know you'll lived here because you'll abandoned me before I could even remember this was where I lived" she screams on top of her lungs.
"Abandoned?" I whisper to myself.
"Arzoo beta why dont we discuss peacefull" Gazala auntys says worried.
"Discuss what Ammi?" Zaroon asks loudly.
"Ayaat why did you call her here?" Zaroon asks me again.
"I..Just...."
"I asked her to" Rahil says out of no where.
"What?" I look at him in confusion so does everyone else.
"Yes Zaroon! I asked Ayaat to call Arzoo here it wasn't her fault she didnt even know what she was doing" Rahil says and I didnt know what was happening.
"And why did you do that?" Asks Zaroon's father.
"I was...I am just tired of this thing. Why dont we all forget the past and start a new beginning?" Rahil asks with hope in his eyes.
"Never...would never forget what you'll did" Arzoo says and runs out of the house.

Everybody just stands where they were.

"Get back to your work" Zaroon's Father says and walks away to his room Gazala aunty follows him to the room.
Zaroon looks at me when I stand up so he could help me but he just walks away.

It breaks my heart! Literally.

Was he so mad at me? May be he just forgot that I couldn't walk. Meanwhile Rahil just stood there looking at me.

"Why did you say you asked me to call Arzoo?" I ask Rahil as I sit again.

"Just." He says.
I look at him and then look away.
"What happened with Arzoo Rahil? What happened?" I ask sighing.
"Ayaat earlier when we were young we were very poor, sometimes we did not even have anything to eat for dinner. Mum used to work as a house maid for a rich couple when she had her own children to look after but that was our part of income and dad hardly earned anything. Thats when Arzoo was born and mum knew she could not take care of her and the people who mum worked for were childless and when they proposed that they adopt the child give her their name, the status and everything mum and dad with a heavy heart decided to give Arzoo to them and in return they gave dad some money that was our foundation.
They left with Arzoo to some place where she would never know about us as time passed we too forgot her but
Mum never could after all Arzoo was a part of her.
She always kept a track of the couple somehow and one unfortunate day we read about this plane crash and also read the couple's name in the list of people who died"
"Ya Allah! It makes sense. Thats why she said you'll abandonded her...but why is everyone over here angry with her. How did she know that she belonged to this family? What happened after that plane crash?" I ask curiously.
[02/04 8:37 pm] Zoi☺: "Relax relax. Let me tell you" Rahil says.
"Sorry. Go on" I say and quietly listen to him.
"After we got to know about the plane crash we knew Arzoo would be alone and she was only 17 then so dad decided to bring her back and we had enough money by then to have her back in the family.
Zaroon, dad and I went to get her back and things ended dramatically when she gotta know the truth.
