It was nighttime and everyone was having dinner silently. Yardan was busy eating his food while Maryam was busy staring at the kids with guilty eyes. Every day they would sit near her but today they sat near Yardan and looked frightened too. She was guilty of scolding the kids.

Suddenly, Yardan noticed that Maryam wasn't eating. She was just playing with her food and thinking about something while looking at the kids.

" Why aren't you eating, Maryam?" Yardan asked but Maryam couldn't answer.

She was looking at her plate intensely when someone held a spoonful of food in front of her. Her eyes followed the hand and it was none other than Yardan.

" Eat properly. Just look at you. You are looking so pale. You have lost weight too," Yardan said sounding concerned which surprised Maryam.

Slowly, she opened her mouth and took a bite. After that, Yardan fed her a whole meal that stunned Maryam. He never showed this type of affection to her so it was feeling so foreign to her. She doesn't know it was just his acting to make her normal.

" Go to your room and take a rest," Yardan told Maryam rubbing the back of her hand and Maryam wasn't understanding how to react.

After finishing dinner when the kids reached their room, Maryam followed them. Seeing her entering the room the kids got frightened and gulped down their saliva.

" Mamma, sorry," Yamir & Omaira apologised to her.

Sitting on the bed she pulled the kids near her and made them sit on her lap. The kids looked down shivering in fear.

" I am sorry, kiddos. Mamma didn't want to scold you like that," Maryam apologised patting their head gently.

Their face beamed with happiness and they looked at their mother with innocent eyes. They hugged her neck tightly and their affection was overwhelming for Maryam.

" Mamma, you are not angry with us anymore, right?" Omaira asked innocently.

Maryam replied affectionately," I can never be angry with you. By the way, do you guys want to go on a vacation?"

" Yeah, it's going to be so much fun," The kids face beamed with happiness and excitement.

After making the kids normal with her, Maryam returned to her room and found that her whole room was dazzling under the full moon. Going near to the balcony she sat on the floor and looked at the moon with longing eyes. Automatically her mind travelled back in time when she and Mikaeel were together.

" Miki, do you love me still now?" She asked looking at the moon.

She doesn't know that Mikaeel was seeing the same moon and missing her. He went on a trip with his friends but instead of enjoying with his friends he was missing her badly.
