House of Perfidy

Chapter 4 : The love i yearned for.

Kaif's Pov

Here i am.
At Aqsa the company my father aftaab azmi owns.
Aftaab acts like he is a very good person, he makes us all feel like we have misunderstood him.
Misunderstood?
All he does is lie.
Lied to all of us.
Lied to Gazala aunty.
Lied to maqsood uncle.
After all of the things he has done, he is still so shameless to face me , saad, Aamaal and specially Gazala aunty .
I dont care about him. i never did,
I never will in the coming future.
I was standing near the gate of Aqsa
When i heard someone calling my name.
The voice belonged to Zain.
My friend,
He ran towards me as if someone is taking me away from him.
He gave me a tight hug,

"Zain-Zain *coughs* brother you are choking me i dont want to die this early
i want to marry a pretty girl in my life please wait!"

"I missed you so much " said zain
"We met four days ago" i replied
"Bro you are my husband , i want you almost everyday". He said while bitting his lower lip.
The janitor standing right beside us started coughing aggressively.

"When will you stop flirting with me ?". I said because the janitor really thought we are gays.
"Never , always gay for you." he said and kissed me on my cheek agressively.
"Okay okay" i said while trying to free myself from him.

After spending a little time with zain in the cafeteria.
I headed towards aftaab's office,
I entered his cabin without knocking as usual,
I do not give him the respect he doesnt even deserve. It doesnt matter to me at all.

"You are here , Kaif " he said in a polite tone.
"Yes " i replied
"Have a seat," he said in the same tone
I sat right across him,
"How's work ?". He asked
"Better." i replied.
"I hope you recieve the success you deserve my son" he said
"My son ? Do you mean that word"
I asked in a polite tone because i believe politeness is best during interrogation.

"Whatever makes your heart feel at peace you believe it, you hate me and if that gives you peace i am all okay with it". He said emphasising each and every word in a soft tone.
I nodded at whatever he said
I walked out of his office.
I still can't believe,
This man would never change.
Never.

I started taking my steps towards Aamaal and zain's cabin to meet them.
Its been a month since i met Aamaal and Saad.
"Kaif bhai, where have you been this whole month?" Aamaal said she was clearly a little frustrated.
I decided to focus on my work so that i can do better.
"I am sorry Aamaal your brother was busy".
"I am not forgiving you this time." She replied in an irritated tone.

"What do you want ? A new pair of heels
A new makeup kit ?" I said while walking close towards her desk.
Even though due to aftaab, we didn't share the same mother but our mothers always taught us to live in harmony.

She finally got up from her seat and hugged me.
"Please because of Abba don't be mad at us." She spoke politely she was on the verge of tears.
"Aamaal , I wanted to focus more on my work I would never ever leave you and saad for aftaab." I said while holding her face.
I kissed her forehead,
Zain standing there felt leftout,
So he came in and hugged both of us "classic friends hug" They say.
After having all the bonding time together with Aamaal and Zain.
I didn't have enough time to meet saad I had to head back home.
It was getting dark
I don't leave Ammi alone specially at night.
She is a smart women,
But i don't trust the world enough.
She is always alone at home and as a son who is always busy all I could offer her is a little quality time.

I reached home,
Ammi was sitting at the couch waiting for me.
"Ammi , did you had your dinner?" I asked.
"Yes, how was day with Abba?" she asked
She was all excited to know what happened

"Nothing I just showed him his worth again." I said without hesitating
Ammi's face grew smaller and serious.

"Kaif how many time have I told you- here we go again I am so bored hearing the same line every single day now
" how times have I told you to respect him , care for him?" blah blah blah.

Instead I clearly said cutting her off in the middle so that she won't repeat that same line again.
"Maa, please you know how much I hate aftaab" I said with a straight face without any emotion.

"Kaif , its not aftaab its Abba. Do you understand me ? You don't even know how much he has sacrificed for you, how much he has lied and suffered just for youuu " she said in a serious tone she was very calm but still displeased by my behaviour.

"Ammi , stop defending him
Even if he dies I don't care
And also the lies and the suffering
I don't want to know any of them, i didn't ask him to do all of that for me. "

"One day you will regret all of this, Kaif." she said with a serious face yet in a calm tone.

"I hope that day comes when he is dead, the only thing I will regret is not being able to see his dead body and please Maa pray that i dont show up to his Janazah because I don't want to tear his dead body apart with my own hands."
I said in an incensed tone.
I walked out of the hall as if nothing happened.

I wasn't sorry for whatever I said he deserves all of it for making me suffer all these years. I yearned for his love all my childhood.
But now I wish he was dead.

What do you all think how many more things aftaab is hiding will they be salvation or destruction of everyone ?
