The Unbreakable Bond

Chapter Fourteen

"If I hear one word from your mouth, I won't hesitate to spank you here! You may be older but remember you are still my child who I can set straight if it comes to that point"

…

Maaz laid down on the bed quietly shoving his face in the pillow to hide the tint of pink that had made an appearance on his face. Murtasim held back an amused smile that tried to make its way on his face upon watching the way Maaz reacted.

He turned back to Hamza to inquire about a full explanation but stopped himself when he saw Majed and Mirza arguing again. Hamza's eyes practically pleaded Murtasim to shut these brats up and the eldest in the room let out a sigh.

"Majed, Mirza!!" His one call seemed to straighten out the both of them as they both stopped bickering and looked up at him with the most innocent expression they could muster.

"Go and wait in the car" Murtasim was exhausted at this point and he couldn't be asked to deal with these two arguing right now. He pulled out the keys from his pocket and gestured to Majed to take it.

Majed practically jumped at the opportunity and grabbed the keys but before they could leave Murtasim held onto his shirt pulling the over-excited child towards him.

"Listen to me carefully!! You will go straight to the car and sit yourself inside. No funny business! Am I understood?!" He kept his voice calm, daring them to question his decision and the other two mumbled out a 'understood' taking their leave.

Turning back to Hamza who had straightened up, he gestured to him to explain what was going on. "Bhai, Maaz's blood pressure is really low. He hasn't been eating properly for the past few days and only focuses on carrying out the tasks around the hospital. His body is weak due to not consuming food and resting up properly, I can bet he must have also experienced headaches but he kept everything to himself. I told him to rest up and eat but he had been refusing so I was forced to call you"

As Hamza spoke, Murtasim seemed to grow angrier at the confession. Honestly, what was he up to? Putting his health after his job, not looking after himself. Moreover, he lied to Murtasim, when he would ask if he had lunch at the hospital.

Even though he was furious and wanted to smack some sense into Maaz right now, he remained calm, knowing he was in need of medical attention. He could deal with him at home.

"Hamza, koi treatment Karni hai abhi?" He questioned, ignoring Maaz who had now moved into sitting position and was staring right at him.

{Hamza, do you need to carry out any check-up?}

"Ji Bhai, abhi kelie ek injection dena hai, then he can be discharged. However, if he is discharged then you will have to ensure he is having his meals on time and he is resting up properly. He still may feel dizzy spells or weakness so be careful when he is moving around" Hamza explained, collecting the necessary equipment for the injection and getting it prepared.

{Yes Bhai, for now an injection would do}

"Don't worry I'll make sure of that" Maaz and Hamza shivered at the tone he used. Saying he was angry was beyond the point and Maaz knew he had dug himself a grave.

"App ese kyu baat kar rahe ho jese me yaha pe nhi hu. Stop ignoring me!" Maaz's words had no effect on the other two but Hamza stared at him, internally questioning 'why do you always open your mouth at the wrong time?'

{Why are you speaking as if I'm not in the room}

"Lay on your stomach" Hamza ordered moving over with the syringe. Maaz shook his head and forwarded his arm,"Yaha pe lagade"
