Ikram why are you doing this to me like I'm not your twin brother? Is it because Ya Aneel is not at home with us? Ikram wait for me. Aslam muttered.
Aslam, I warn you to stop calling me Your twin sister, I'm not your twin sister.
You are blind. How can I be your sister? You can't see the world.





Ikram's friends burst into a fit of laughter.
Ikram why did Your Daddy enroll him in school? He is blind he shouldn't be in school. Aryan laughed.
Blind Aslam, Blind Aslam, they began to push Aslam.
Aryan take Aslam's walking stick.





Ikram tell Your friends to stop. Ikram stop doing this to me.
Aslam, I will not. I hate you. Ikram spat.
Aslam fall and hit his leg on the stone. He groan in pain.
Noor rush to them.
Ya Ikram why are you doing this to Ya Aslam? I will tell Daddy and Mummy. Noor hissed.





She help Aslam up and take him to the bench.
Noor, I warn you to stop interfering in my matters. Aslam is my twin brother. I am not Your mate. I am three year older than you. Ikram said to the 9-year-old Noor.
I will not watch you threat Ya Aslam badly.





Do you know why you are not Mummy's favourite? Your attitude is bad. Noor spat.
Ikram raise her hand to slap Noor.
Ikram, don't slap Your sister. Ahmad thundered.
Noor and Ikram who could see the world turn around. Aslam also turn around.
Daddy, she disrespect me. Ikram muttered defensively.
Go to the car. Ahmad command.
He take Aslam's hand and walk to the car with him.






Ahmad reached his house, he drove inside and parked his car in the parking lot.
The children exit the car.
Daddy, I want to talk to you and Mummy. Aslam muttered.
Aslam, You will eat, freshen up and rest before we have conversations.
I love you, Son. Ahmad peck Aslam on his cheek.






Ikram rolled her eyes and stormed to her room.
The children settled down in the dining.
Afrah serve them.
Daddy, I miss Ya Aneel. When will he come back home? Aslam ask Ahmad.
Soon Aslam. Ahmad muttered.
Aslam, I prepare Your favourite food. Afrah muttered.






Ikram grimace. Mummy, You always prepare Aslam's favourite food but not mine because he is everyone's favourite in the house. Ikram mumble.
Ikram, Ahmad called Sternly.
Silent ensue.
The children finish eating. Ikram and Noor clear the table.
Mummy, Daddy. Aslam called.






Why I'm I blind? Was I born blind? Did something happen to me? Mummy, Daddy. Please tell me the truth.
Am I going to be like this? I want to see the world.
I don't have friends in school. No one wants to be friends with a blind boy.
Ikram hate me too.
Daddy, Mummy. Ikram and her friends always laugh at me in school.
Her friends pushed me. They take my walking stick away.






Ikram told everyone that I stole everything from her. She told everyone that I stole you and Mummy from her.
Daddy, Mummy I'm tired of seeing darkness instead of light.
Daddy, I started talking when I was 6 Year old.
Daddy, You are wealthy. Please take me to the hospital for surgery. I want to see. Aslam cried.






Afrah control the acidic liquid that has been threatening to emerge from her eyes.
As bad as Afrah never wish for a day like this should come. A Day Aslam will enquire to know the secret behind his disability.
Afrah and Ahmad are Afraid to tell Aslam the truth. They are Afraid to tell him that his favourite brother's Mom is the reason he can't see.
They fear the family will turn apart. They fear Aslam and Ikram will hate Aneel.







Daddy, Mummy why are you quiet? I'm I under a spell? Will I die blind? Aslam cried out frustratedly.
No, Son. Ahmad muttered.
You are not born blind. Something happens. I'm sorry but we can't tell you what happened. I'm working on it. Aslam, You will see the world soon.
I will take you to India for the surgery. But until you are done with Your studies. You will soon write your final exams. I will take you to India after Your exam. Ahmad muttered.
