Bound by Blood, United by Love: A Tale of Cousins' Marriage

Part 15:Mister Before Sister

At the breakfast table, Ali's mother extended an invitation to Ali and Sara to join them. They had found some family members who had softened their stance, ready to embrace them once more. However, Yasmin, Sara's aunt, had not forgiven them, and her bitterness remained evident.

Ali's mother: (kindly) Ali, Sara, please join us for breakfast. It's time to heal our family.

Yasmin: (coldly) Well, it seems like the other guests have left. Maybe it's time for you two to leave as well.

Ali gently held Sara, his arms wrapped around her, providing comfort and reassurance as she shed tears over Yasmin's taunt.

Ali: (pleading) Aunt Yasmin, please, we've been through a lot. Can't we find it in our hearts to move forward?

Yasmin: (resolute) Ali, you've made your choices, and you'll have to live with the consequences.

Despite Ali's efforts, Yasmin's heart remained hardened.

Ali: (whispering to Sara) It's going to be okay, my love. We'll find a way to mend things.

Amidst the tension, Yasmin and Ahmed began to create a scene, expressing their anger and disapproval with harsh words and raised voices.

Yasmin: (angrily) How can we forgive them so easily? They defied our wishes, and now they expect us to welcome them back with open arms?

Ahmed: (loudly) Exactly, Ammi. They've caused so much pain. Why should we give in to their demands?

Their voices echoed through the dining area, causing distress among other family members.

Yasmin: (firmly) Well, if they are going to sit at this dining table, then we won't.

Ahmed: (resolutely) That's right. Our family won't share this table with them.

The announcement was met with shock from the other family members.

Ali's Mother: (pleading) Please, can't we find a way to resolve this peacefully?

Yasmin: (angry) They've brought shame to this family, and I won't have my children sitting with them.

The tension in the room was palpable, leaving everyone uncertain about what would happen next.

Rashid: (determined) Well, if Ahmed and family can't sit with us for breakfast, then we won't join Kareem's Bhai family for any meal.

Sara's Mother: (supportive) That's right. If they don't belong here, neither do we.

The situation had escalated into a standoff, with both sides refusing to budge. The tension in the room grew even thicker.

Nadeem: (calmly) Aunt Yasmin, Ahmed, please, for the sake of our family, forgive Ali and Sara. They've suffered enough.

Sarah: (pleading) Yes, please. It's time to move forward and heal our family.

Their words were filled with earnest hope, but the room remained divided, torn between forgiveness and lingering resentment.

Sara: (teary-eyed) Ali, let's go. We can't bear to see our family divided like this.

Ali: (sadly) You're right, Sara. We'll eat in our room tonight. Maybe time will heal these wounds.

With heavy hearts, they decide to leave the dining room, feeling the weight of their family's disapproval.

Ali's Father: (firmly) Stop, both of you. I am the head of this family now, and I declare that Ali and Sara have every right to live in this house. This house and the business were built with our collective effort, and they are here to stay.
