" You know very well why I married you?" He asked rudely.
She replied controlling her tears," Yes, for your children."
Then, he said calmly," If I find any kind of carelessness from your side regarding my children then trust me you will see the wor...
" Mamma is so sorry, Omi," Maryam sobbed bitterly holding Omaira's tiny hands.
Maryam's heart bleeds seeing Omaira's tiny body lying on the hospital bed. Kissing her hands Maryam continued shedding tears.
" Forgive me, Api. I couldn't take care of Omi and Yamir like you," Maryam mumbled recalling Mehzabin's face.
Tightening her hold on Omaira's hands Maryam whispered," Mamma will never leave you again. To hell with my job. I don't need anything but you and Yamir's safety. I am so sorry."
Resting her head on the bed Maryam whispered with an inaudible voice," Everyone is right that I am a bad omen."
Well, the continuous blaming for everything has taken a tremendous toll on Maryam's emotional state. Now if anything terrible happens she only blames herself. Yardan burnt her educational certificates and humiliated her in front of everyone but still, she isn't blaming him. She is blaming herself. According to her, she deserves all this sorrow because she is a murderer. She has killed a wife, a mother, and a responsible daughter. She has killed her sister. She doesn't know that this guilt of her is leading her to her destruction, her soul's death.
Maryam's sobbing was interrupted by a baby voice. Raising her head she looked at the door and found Yardan who was holding Yamir's hand.
" Mamma," Yamir called and jumped on Maryam who picked him up affectionately.
Maryam looked at Yardan who gave her a cold expression. She lowered her eyes instantly and felt Yamir's tiny hands wiping her tears.
" Mamma, Omi will be fine, right?" He asked sounding concerned.
Maryam replied removing his baby hair from his forehead," Yeah. But, we should pray to Allah for Omi's well being."
Yamir nodded his head and Maryam started stroking his hair. She started talking to Yamir when Yardan cleared his throat to catch her attention. She looked at him with questioning eyes.
" Listen, woman. It's the last warning. If anything happens to my children because of you then I swear I will show you hell from the earth," He warned and Maryam remained silent wondering how can he warn her in front of Yamir.
She murmured looking down," I have a name. Why do you always address me woman?"
" I don't care whatever your name is!! I only care about my children and keep that in mind always. I don't care about you," He replied rudely and this time Maryam was extremely hurt.
She doesn't know why she is hurt. She shouldn't also care whatever he thinks about her but she got hurt unknowingly. She wasn't understanding this feeling at all. He never leaves any chance of insulting her but instead of hating him, she feels pity for him. She is thinking that the reason behind this type of behaviour of him is nothing but her. His wife died because of her and that's why he has immense hatred for her in his heart.
" And another thing. If you need money then ask me. But, I won't tolerate your carelessness towards my children again," Yardan said loudly and Maryam only nodded her head slightly.
A few days later
It was nighttime and Maryam was sleeping peacefully with the kids. She was hugging Yamir & Omaira in her embrace. Both of them can't sleep without Maryam's embrace.
