Ayzel's POV

"Its good to be home!", i  sighed as my car speeds down the mall road of lahore. After a long tiring and hectic semester homecoming was amazing. I felt like pulling up my car on the road side and scream on top of my voice "Welcome me back Lahore!".
  The sun was setting down which gave luminous affect to the wonders of lahore. But i was too overwhelmed to notice, all that i had in my mind was my bed, my naps, my netflix and my snacks.
I parked the car in front of my home and entered sneakily because no one knew i was coming today. It was a surprise for them all. There was no one in the porch or lawn so I quitely entered the main door and the voice of my mom hit my ears,
"I'll get done with all this stuff during her semester break. I can't deal with this any longer."
" I agree" my dad replied as if he wasn't really interested in this conversation.

So they were upto something again. But what? Don't worry i'll get to know in a day or two. Thats when i rolled my suitcase and entered into the livingroom.

"Hi guys" i screamed. Their face lit up with joy as they saw me and my mom came running , kissed my forehead and hugged me. " Weren't you suppose to come two days later?" She asked as I hugged my father. "Yeah my plan was to come after two days actually but i done with my research work early and to my surprise, proffesor loved it! I was free so i thought of surprising you guys...LOOK! Here I am!
Thats when my sister came running towards me i  shouted "Haya!!!" And hugged her really tight. Who can control their emotions when they see their sister after 3 months, after all sisters make the best friend in the whole world.

Hadeed's POV

"Alright, fine! I'll be there" i said getting irritated and hung up my step moms call. I turned the car towards my dads house and getting myself mentally prepared for the drama that awaits for me.

I was greated at the door by my half sister Eeman. Despite all my difference with my step mom, i deeply love my half siblings. I hugged Eeman and kissed her forehead. " Is everything fine beta? " I asked her. She passed me mischiveous smile " You'll find out bhai."
Ofcourse things were not fine . Thats why i was called here. I sighed as i entered the house and told myself "come on hadeed, be ready to face the perfect storm!"
Eeman informed that everyone was waiting for me in dads room. I knocked the door, my step mom opened it and greeted me which was not a very warm welcome. I exhaled and entered the room. My father was laying on his bed and my half brother looking at me with the sympathetic smile giving me the warning of upcoming issue. I asked my dad " How are you feeling now?"and kissed his hand. He replied " Much better". Thats when my step mom said "If you care for your father so much then why dont you come visit him often?"
"You know i was busy in a really important buisness deal. This deal would prove really beneficial for my company and my company will be included in top companies of the city."
I tried to explain but all in vain because it was Mrs Mustafa infront of me.

So what are you trying to explain that your company and buisness deal is more important than your fathers health. You know that he got a heart attack last week.
"I know and i was there beside him in the hospital the whole time. I just went back to office 2 days ago." I tried again.
" Wow... thanks for your favour!" She taunted.
" Please stop it, Noreen" my father tried to stop her.
"Wait dad let her complete... "i turned to mrs mustafa," what do you want me to do?" I asked in an assertive voice.
"Why dont you fulfil his wish?"she said.
Ohhh... so this is the whole problem. I got up getting ready to leave.
I said, " I am sorry, I wont be able to do this."
As i stepped out she screamed
" Your mom passed away giving birth to you, she died because of you. Do you wanna kill your father as well!"
My footsteps stopped listening to this. Her words stabbed me and my heart started bleeding.
