"Is there any special day today that you all are present here together, grandfather? And you all are seems happy."
On Aashir asking such an innocent question, everyone sitting at the dining table gazed at him. They all smiled looking at each other.
"Yes son, that day is special when we all happily get together..... And see today your Wadan uncle is also here."
Instead of Mr. Hayat, Sanam answered his question. On that, she glanced at Wadan who was sitting right in front of her and smiling and also staring at him.
Today a dinner was planned by Sanam for everyone and in that she also invited Wadan and Hadia. As for a long time battling with problems there was now peace to some extent in their lives.
That's why today they all were together present there.
"My Wadan uncle is best.....and also the gift he brings for me."
With sparkling in his eyes, he said to him. On his telling that, a smile came to everyone's face.
On their all present together, if someone was happier than it was Aashir. And the reason for his happiness was Wadan. He always glowed with happiness whenever Wadan came to his place.
For the last few days, he was sad about his absence but today he was gleaming with happiness after seeing his uncle.
"Alright, on your uncle coming you changed your partner..... And what about you are calling me uncle the whole day.....on the gift of Wadan you forget your uncle."
On Aashir favoring Wadan, Haadi, who was sitting silently for a long, said making a poor face. While this time everyone in the drawing room burst into laughter after listening to him and seeing him making a poor face.
"If you stop doing penny-pinching and spend a little money then my son wouldn't need to change his partner."
This time Asfand peered at his brother saying mischievously. And on that, Haadi just rolled his eyes.
"No, Haadi's uncle is also best.....he plays my favorite games with me and Wadan's uncle brings my favorite gifts for me....so you both are best."
He can't see the sad face of his uncle because they both were dear to him. That's why he immediately took his side.
"Can I also become part of your that best list?"
Haadi, who was about to answer him, turned his neck along with everyone towards the entrance door on listening to someone unfamiliar voice.
Everyone was surprised and stood up from their places on spotting Haris along with Mrs. Rukhsar there.
"Mama, you came."
Sanam quickly ran to her mother and hugged her tightly. A sense of relief was felt by both on their uniting.
"When I came to know that in this house I don't have one but two daughters then I can't stop myself from coming here."
Separating Sanam from herself she adoringly glanced at Hadia who was standing in a distance from her. She became a standstill for a long moment when Sanam told her about Hadia on phone.
She was already suspicious of her husband that he surely told her a lie about Zarin and Hadia. And today her doubt proved to be true.
"Why are you standing there, Hadia.....? Come here, won't you hug your aunt?"
Opening her arms she was calling her in her very sweet voice. And seeing her love for herself Hadia ran to her caging herself in her embrace. Today for the first time she felt the love of a mother.
Mrs. Rukhsar kept on holding her closer to her chest for a long time. She was feeling sad that she wasn't able to do anything for Zarin and Hadia. But today she was feeling relieved after seeing Hadia.
Everyone eyes were watery after seeing this scene. Everyone was happy for Hadia.
"I know I never proved to be a good brother, I can't protect my sister the way a brother has to protect."
When Mrs. Rukhsar separated Hadia from herself, Haris, who was standing silently for a long time looking at that scene, addressed Sanam. She was wiping the tears of Hadia.
On his saying that Sanam as well as Hadia became attentive towards him.
"But will you forgive your brother and give him another opportunity..... Because I want to become a good elder brother for you both."
With a look of guilt, he said glancing at her. Always obeying the dictation of his father he never gave attention to his sister.
The day when Asfand took Sanam to her home was the time when he realized his wrongdoing. And this realization grew further deeper when he came to know about his father's wrongdoings.
He never thought that his father can do such nasty work. That's why today he was here so to seek forgiveness of his wrongdoing from his sister.
"You are a good brother, Haris.... you don't need to become one..... And by the way, we all are prone to committing wrongdoings, you don't need to say sorry to me. I don't have any complaints against you."
Seeing him with a guilty look, Sanam moved forward and took his both hands, and strongly held them. After listening to her, Haris was elated and took Sanam as well as Hadia in his embrace.
And everyone smiled at that.
"Here, brother and sisters are uniting.....And I thought my absence was felt and I came here to fulfill it."
On the voice of Laraib, this time they all looked towards the door. With a sarcastic smile on her face, she was staring at everyone. While Asfand as well as Wadan's forehead turned into a frown on her presence.
"Your absence was neither felt nor will it be felt.....so it's better for you to go from here."
In a furious state, Wadan came near her. He tightly clenched her by her arm to try to lead her out.
"You can't behave like that with me, I am your sister."
Everything was slipped from her hand that's why she came here today to take her son from Asfand. But her face turned flush in guilt the way she was insulted in front of everyone.
"You are right, you are my sister that's why I am doing this with you.....if there was someone else in your place then she wouldn't be alive after the nasty act you had just done."
Grabbing her by her arm he pulled her and took her out. Everyone was behind them.
"Leave my hand Wadan. I am here just to take my son.... I will be out of your lives, you just give me my son."
She was trying to free her arm from his clasp but his hold was very firm on her.
"Don't you understand the order of the court, now you don't have any right on him...so you better go alone from here and never try to come back."
Wadan harshly pushed her out of the door. On that, she fell on the floor. For the first time, Laraib's eyes became teary on seeing the hatred in the eyes of her brother.
Everyone was feeling pity for the state of Laraib. But after looking at the anger of Wadan no one dare to move forward.
"From now on, I don't have any relationship with you anymore..... And I don't want to be called the brother of a selfish girl who for her personal gains never thinks about anyone else....so from today your brother has died for you..... Get lost from our lives, forever."
With a loud voice, he shut the door on her face and turned towards the other side. He harshly wiped the tears forming in his eyes and without looking at anyone he walked towards the drawing room.
