She Changed Him ✓

1

Muhammad's house has been as quiet as a graveyard Since Fatima died.
Everyone stayed in their rooms.
Muhammad barely see his children unless he prepare food for them.
Fawzan has changed since Fatima died. He is emotionally unstable. Locking himself in his bedroom has become his routine.
He never cease to check on his little sisters.
Maira and Mahira.

Muhammad finish preparing breakfast for his children.
He arrange them on the dining and head towards the twins' bedroom.
He knock on the door and walk inside.
He sat on the bed and glance at the kids who had monotonous expression on their faces.
Ya Rabb! I lost my wife and my children. I want my children back to the way they were. Muhammad prayed silently.
He Puff a sigh and tap them.

Maira rub her eyes with her palm and hug Muhammad.
Mahira did the same.
Daddy, when will Mummy come back? Maira ask Muhammad.
Daddy, we want to go to Mummy. Will you take us to her? Mahira muttered with a cracked voice.
The kids break down when Muhammad doesn't answer their questions.

Muhammad wipe off their tears.
Stop crying. Mummy will come back soon.
Daddy is lying to you. Mummy is never coming back.
Our mother is dead. Fawzan muttered bitterly.
Muhammad and the twins pivot their gaze to the door.
Fawzan! Muhammad thundered.
What? Abbah. What's the point hiding it from them? They deserve to know that Mummy is dead and she will never come back to us. Do you want them to keep hoping she will be back? Fawzan muttered with cracked voice.

Fawzan, Your sisters are too young for this. They are just 6 years old. Muhammad muttered with a facepalm.
Daddy, is Ya Fawzan saying the truth? Maira and Mahira ask Muhammad.
Daddy, is Mummy dead? Daddy if we can't see Mummy again, we want to go to where she is. We will die too.
Ya Fawzan, you are Mummy's favourite. Let's die so that we can see Mummy. The twins cried.

Muhammad couldn't control his tears. He stood up and storm out of the kids' room.
Fawzan walks to them.
Ya Fawzan, let's go to Mummy. The twins cried.
Fawzan hug them. Their cries echo in the room.
Maira, Mahira, we can't go to Mummy. We will die when it is our time to. Don't cry okay? I'm here with you and Daddy too. Fawzan muttered wiping off his sister's tears.

Ya Fawzan, will Daddy marry another woman? Mahira asked.
Do you want Daddy to replace Mummy with another woman? Fawzan asked them and they shook their head in No.
Then Daddy will not Marry another woman. We will not let him do that.
I can take care of you.
It's time to take you to school. Fawzan muttered.
He takes their socks and puts them on their legs.
Let's go downstairs so you can have your breakfast. Fawzan muttered with a smile.

He takes their backpacks and the twins trail behind him.
He takes them to the dining.
Ya Fawzan, we will not eat. Maira and Mahira muttered with pouted mouths.
Do you want to fall sick? Fawzan ask them.
Yes, we want to fall sick so that we will die. Maira and Mahira let out.
You two should stop talking about death else I will whip you. Fawzan yelled hitting the table.

The twins shudder.
Fawzan, facepalm.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to shout at you. Please have your breakfast. Fawzan muttered calmly.
The twins flick back their tears and allow Fawzan to feed them without throwing a tantrum.
Ya Fawzan, won't you eat? Where is Daddy? Mahira muttered.
I'm Fasting. Fawzan muttered curtly.
Muhammad walks to them with his car key dangling in his hand.
Fawzan glanced at his father's puffy eyes and shook his head.

He hate to see his family in pain, his Dad and siblings.
Daddy, I wish I could take back your pain and bring back your wife.
Fawzan, I wish I can take back your pain and bring back your mother. I'm sorry Maira and Mahira.
Both Fawzan and Muhammad muttered inwardly.
Daddy, I will take them to school. Fawzan muttered.
Fawzan, Do you want to step out of the house today? Muhammad ask with a surprised look on his face.
