Atish e Ishq (Fire of love)

Chapter no 21

"What was he saying?"
Hamza turned towards Yahya Khan with a shocking expressions

"I am asking you, Dada Jaan. What was Burhan saying? You did that?"
Hamza stammered nervously

"H Hamza listen"
Yahya Khan kept his hand on his shoulder

"You did that Dada Jaan! How could you? He's your grandson did you forget that huh? And how could Taya Jaan do that? My son is only a day old and I can't bear him having any pain and you tried to kill your son. What kind of father are you? Khala Jaan, you also agreed. That's the most shocking news of my life ever. A mother tried to kill her child. Oh my God. What kind of people are you? Are you even human beings?"
Hamza screamed with tears in his eyes. He couldn't believe all of this

"Hamza listen he's wrong. He was gonna kill Shafaat. Would you let any innocent die because of a mere lie? He's your brother too"
Yahya Khan gulped and held his hands to assure him

"I know Dada Jaan. He's wrong. He's indeed wrong. He was playing a dirty game. I was against him too. But I couldn't even think about killing him. I can never even imagine it"
Hamza muttered honestly

"Hamza I had to do this. If any ordinary person from a village stands up and tells you that this random guy is a rapist and that innocent guy doesn't even know about what's happening to him. The person is adamant about killing the victim.  What would you do? Would you let him shoot the other person or save him?"
Yahya Khan asked ignoring his fast-pounding heart

"I will but"
Hamza was about to answer but got interrupted by Yahya Khan

"Just answer me. No ifs and buts"
Yahya Khan ordered

"I will save the person"
Hamza started looking down butting his lips nearly to bleed

"That's what I did my love. I could never even think about killing Burhan. But he left us with no options. He was the Sardar. He was going to kill Shafaat. I had to stop him anyhow. I choose our honor over our blood. Did I do wrong?"
Yahya Khan asked holding his hand in his shivering ones

"I know what you're saying is right but still Dada Jaan my heart is screaming that you all did extremely wrong. My heart isn't at peace and maybe it will be never at peace after today. Does your heart feel at peace?"
Hamza asked looking into his eyes

"If I had to listen to my heart. I would have never let Burhan leave the haveli that day but I make decisions with my mind and not the heart. It makes you weak Hamza Faisal Khan"
Yahya Khan sighed and whispered looking into his eyes firmly

"Nana Jaan B Burhan he"
Shafaat entered Haveli stumbling badly with a blood-filled face and fell onto the ground unconscious

"Shafaat"
Everyone screamed and ran towards him

"What happened to you son?"
Zahid Khan patted his cheeks but he still didn't move

"I will call t the doctor"
Hamza stuttered and started calling the doctor immediately
..............................................................

"Someone has beaten him up badly. He has a very deep wound on his head. Make sure he takes proper rest"
Hamza was lost in the doctor's words

"Shafi, what happened my son?"
Yahya Khan asked holding his hand after he regained consciousness while caressing his hair

"No nothing Nana Jaan"
Shafaat said passing a sad smile

"You can tell us. You know right"
Zahid Khan sat beside him holding his hand in his

"Mamu Jaan I don't want you guys to fight with him anymore and Baba will fight with Mama again so let it be an accident. I don't remember anything you please forget it to"
