" Unbelievable!!! How can mr rajput die?? , who could be behind this?? "

Says kushal looking at the newspaper article, I roll the paperweight knowing pretty well who has done it.

" It's ranbir for sure, I know it could be him "

" Why would he do that?? "

" He knew I had a merge with him, the only way it could be ended was once mr rajput would die and killing him was the only option it is his way to warn me. He wants me to stay away from the company , he thinks things like this can scare me "

" He is just sick, he is trying to get your attention in a way "

" I just don't want him harming shehnaaz or my zahara "

I say voicing my fear, kushal nods his head understanding.

" What's up with shehnaaz?? She looks off these days. Is anything wrong with her?? "

" I don't know either man, after the party something has gotten into her head. She has maintained her distance from everything and everyone she hasn't been herself always lost in her thoughts or just being around zahara scared "

" Scared around zahara?? Is it about the dream she had when she was pregnant?? "

" You know about it?? "

I ask feeling ashamed of myself not knowing about shehnaaz going through things he nods his head saying the endless number of times my mother would sleep next to shehnaaz holding her hand as she would cry in the middle of the night holding her baby bump, or how shehnaaz would just stay up all night baking cupcakes to avoid nightmares, my stomach churned listening to this making me feel like the horrible person. After having a talk with kushal I got back to my work completing before heading home.

I walked inside the house opening the doors finding the lights off, I heard giggling voice coming from mine and shehnaaz room, entering I find zahara sitting inside the walk in closet pulling all the clothes off the racks messing the closet. She instantly stops looking at me and mumbled ' ohh oh' but laughed pulling a basket filled with shehnaaz lingerie throwing it on the ground, I immediately made my way towards her picking her up in my arms, she pulls my hair asking me to let her go .

" Zahara you don't pull dada's hair and what's this?? "

Said shehnaaz who just came out of the shower in her bathrobe looking around the messy closet, she glared at zahara who showed her puppy eyes to me I shook my head.

" No zahara mumma is right, why did you pull all the clothes off the racks it's bad manners . Now mumma has to clean everything up again, apologize now,say sorry "

" Sawwy "

She says looking at shehnaaz showing her toothy grin, shehnaaz just nods kissing zahara on her cheeks cleaning up the mess while I took zahara out towards her room getting her changed.

" Zahara why is mumma so sad?? "

" Mota "

" Mota?? What does it mean?? "
