"(mama , 'iilaa 'ayn nahn dhahibuna?) Mamma, where are we going?" Omaira asked Maryam getting close to her.
Opening the car window, Maryam grabbed Omaira's back neck and threatened," (kalimat 'ukhraa wa'ana sa'atrahuk fi alkharij) Another word and I will throw you outside."
Getting scared Omaira moved away from Maryam and sat close to her brother. Holding his hand tightly she hid in his embrace.
"(mama limadha takrahinana kathira?)Mamma, why do you hate us so much?" Yamir asked meekly looking at Maryam with sorrowful eyes.
Maryam mumbled fuming in rage," (Apne ush buddhe bap sey jakar puch. Ush buddhe ney meri puri zindagi barbad kardi.) Ask that old father of yours! That old man has ruined my whole life."
Saying that Maryam got emotional and started shedding tears. Yamir didn't understand his mother's words but seeing tears in her eyes he felt extremely guilty. He wondered did he say something hurtful to his mother? Then why she is crying?
"mama , la tabki. 'aeiddk bi'anana sanakun 'atfalak aljayidin walan nudayiqak. ( Mamma, don't cry. I promise that we will be your good children and won't bother you)," Yamir said innocently touching Maryam's hands.
Taking away her hand she shouted making him flinch," askut(Shut up)."
Very soon the car reached in front of a two-storied building. The building was looking quite old but the lights which are coming through the windows were indicating the living beings inside this house.
Getting off the car Maryam became a statue for some time looking at the building. Angry tears left her eyes looking at the place where she used to live. Like every ordinary woman, she should be happy to be in her home but she isn't happy instead she is furious.
Grabbing Yamir & Omaira's hands tightly she entered the building and rang the doorbell. A few moments later an elderly lady opened the door and her pupils dilated seeing Maryam standing at the door with her children.
An overwhelming expression appeared on her face after meeting her daughter and happy tears left her eyes. She expected Maryam to hug her or at least greet her but Maryam didn't show any emotions on her face. A few moments later all the members of this family gathered in the living room to greet Maryam but her next movement astonished them.
Throwing Yamir & Omaira to her parents, Maryam screamed," You sacrificed me for their sake, right? Then, let me tell you that I am now done with them and from this onwards you guys are going to take care of them."
Hearing her announcement her father, mother and siblings stiffed in their places. They felt like she has lost her mind.
" Maryam, have you lost your mind? What are you talking about? How can you leave your children like that?" Her father roared when Maryam roared back.
She replied gritting her teeth," I am not their mother. They are not my blood."
" Does Yardan know about all this? Does he know that his wife has lost her mind?" One of Maryam's brothers taunted and she diverted her burning eyes at him.
Without uttering any words to her brother she started yelling at her parents," Aap log ish duniya ki sabse ghatiya waldain ho. Mera keya kusur tha ki mujhe 2 bacche ki bap, ush buddhe ki gale mey fasha diya? ( You are the worst parents in this whole world. What was my fault that you married me off to that old, father of two children?)
