That's Just How Life Goes!!

Chapter 18

Mahi POV

" Mumma, we want to meet Arsalan uncle. He had said he will meet us in India too but he has still not come. So we want to go to his house and meet him." Zayan said . I was a little shocked. Not because I didn't want them to meet him but because they have never demanded to meet him before this. Arsalan always came home and spent an hour or 2 with the kids and left . Rest times he would talk to them on phone . Even if he didn't come to meet them or couldn't call them for whatever reason,they never demanded to meet him.
" umm why do you want to meet him suddenly? "
They looked at each other.
" Mamma , I think he is not well that's why he didn't come. And you always say na that we should visit sick person and take care of them ,help them in some way. " Hania replied.
I frowned.
" Who told you he is not well?"
"We heard Dadi speaking to Nani in the morning."
"Accha "
"Yes Mamma. Please let us go?"
I didn't want to say no to them but I don't want to go to that house where I lived the best yet worst moments of my life.
What do I do now?
" I can take them " I turned around to see Ali at my room's door.
" You will?" I asked to confirm because he is someone who doesn't want to even look at Arsalan's face even after so many years.
He nodded. " Anything for my cutipies"
Zayan and Hania cheered and ran to him
" Okay. Just take care okay? Don't loose your calm. " I advised Ali.
He rolled his eyes at me
"Ohh come on. I am a father already. I am not that stupid to make a scene in front of children."
" okay come back quickly."
They left waving me bye.

I am finding it weird but maybe I am overthinking.
I should be happy that Zayan and Hania are following what I and Zayn have taught them.
Thankyou Allah for blessing me with such beautiful kids

Ali POV

I wished luck to Zayan and Hania as they entered Arsalan's room. I had heard them talking in the morning and after I heard them asking permission to visit Arsalan, I connected the dots and helped them in coming here even if this is the person I would want to meet. But if it brings happiness in my sister's life then it's worth it. I hope it goes well.
Ya Allah! Please give all the happiness to my sister and her family.

In Arsalan's Room

Arsalan POV

"Assalamualaikum babies. " I greeted my children . I am so happy my kids are here. In their rightful place. I stepped down from the bed and hugged them both.
Kissing their foreheads , I made them sit on the bed. We talked for a while.
I am shocked Ali brought them here. He is still angry at me then how did he agree?

"Arsalan uncle , we have come here to take your permission for something."Hania said  bringing me out of my thoughts.
I smiled enthusiastically
"ofcourse baby, tell me what do you want? I will bring anything and everything you want"
"Promise?" Zayan asked this time.
I nodded. Ofcourse I would do anything for them. This is the first time they are asking something from me. I can't explain how happy that makes me.
"We want you to allow mamma to sleep with Dadda"
"Dadda is alone na . What if some aliens take him away. He is my strong Dadda but I don't want him to live alone. All our friends say their Mamma Dadda stay in one room only. It's only our parents who don't. We know Mamma needs your permission for that. So we came here to request you to please allow her to stay with Dadda."
"Please uncle please "
I was rooted to my spot. My kids requested something from me for the very first time and what did they request?  They don't even have any idea what they are asking of me.
Ya Allah!
"Cuties, let's go your Mother is asking to go back now."
I heard Ali's voice but didn't turn to look at him.
I felt kids hugging me bye and leaving the room. But I still couldn't move my body. Did I loose them completely?
Oh Allah what have I done to my beautiful family. I sank to my knees and cried loudly. I don't care who listens to me today. My own children are asking me to leave their mother.
