Qasim

He didn't go back to his room till very late.
And when he did he chose to sleep on the small sofa , trying to adjust his 6feet frame in that four foot sofa.

He laid down his knees bent and his arm over his eyes.

Another night of restless sleep.

_______________________

The next day he wokeup before she did and instead of praying in his room he chose to pray in the masjid closeby.

He went to workout trying to avoid her , he didn't want to think about his feelings .

He knew this was just physical .

He and Saima had not had sex in years due to her cancer .

He knew this was just lust at max.

He hated that too.

It made him feel like he was being disrespectful towards Rukhsar.

He groaned closing his eyes.
"Fuck" he swore under his breath.
His phone buzzed and he checked , It was Fahad bhai.

"Qasim?" He said as he answered the call.

"Gee?" He asked , he was closest to Fahad bhai in age , which was still 6 years apart.

"Neelum aur Ibrahim aaye huay hai ajao neeche." He said ,

He took a deep breath

"Mein bahar aaya tha for a walk , aata hun thori deir mein" he said ,

"Okay come fast though, amma keh rahi thi" he said to him and he nodded.

"Jee acha" he said as he hung up.

He texted Saimas nurse to checkin about her health, and the Nurse told him that she was very tired today so she slept most of yesterday and even now.

He made his way back to the mansion, and found his sister sitting there talking to his mother ,

Her eyes fell on him and he saw a flash of some indecipherable emotion in her eyes, her mouth hardened , but she got up anyway.

"How are you ?" He asked hugging her ,
"I'm good how about you ?" She asked , and he sensed that she was pissed off.

"I'm good" he said but it cameout like a question,
"Where's your husband?" He asked her like he usually would,
She pursed her lips,

"Where's your wife?" While his had come out playful hers had not.
It came out a little harsher than intended.

He raised an eyebrow , despite everything he was older than her even if it was by 10 ish years.

"Excuse me ?" He asked ,

"Neelum" their mother said in a warning tone.

"Ibrahim Rukhsar k saath bahir hai" she told him,

He nodded ,
"Ayaan nahi aaya ?" He asked about his nephew ,

"Woh bhi Rukhsar aur Ibrahim k saath hai" his mother said , Neelum sighed
"Im very tired , I think I'll go and rest." She said ,

"Issay kya hua hai?" Qasim asked ,
His mother sighed ,

"She's having a hard time with accepting your second marriage." She told him,
Qasim frowned ,
"How is that any of her business?" He asked as he sat down, starting to put food on his plate.
