Ahaan emotions were in turmoil but he held his emotions back, before entering the room.

"Umer, chalo" ahaan said gently.

"Nahi mera koi mood nahi hai unse milne ka mai bahar wait kar raha hu, aap milkar aaye, ghar chalte hai" he said fixing his eyes on ground as he cannot disobey his brother directly seeing into his eyes.

"Zara, beta aap yahi baitho, humein aapki mama se important baat karni hai, aap baad me mil lena" Ahaan said firmly to zara before turning to umer.

"Aao umer" he repeated, leaving no room for argument.

Ahaan's heart raced as he entered the room, umer reluctantly followed behind him. Maria's frail figure laying in the bed, her eyes dozing with head ache. Her gaze flickered to Ahaan, then back to umer, she looked them with tear filled eyes, It took her less than a second to recognise them.

"Ahaan, Umer" , she whispered with a weak voice.

"Mere bacho"

Umer wanted to flew away, listening his name with her mouth. It felt like a curse.

"Mr. Malik, mere bhai ka naam nahi lena aapke  aur sabke liye Mr. MALIK hai wo"
Umer said firmly.

Ahaan cleared his throat before speaking, "who is that girl, wo aapko mama kyu keh rahi, usne apne baba ka naam fahad malik kyu kaha"  he asked sternly glaring her.

She took a deep breath and started talking

"Bhen hai wo tumlog ki, tumhari sagi bhen, jab tumlog mujhe chord kar gaye the tab...."

Ahaan looked at her carefully trying to process her words

"Chord kar nahi gaye the nikala tha aapke uss husband ne, aur apne rokna zaruri nahi samjha" umer cut her off and corrected her.

"Umer let her finish" ahaan stopped him.

"Jab Ahmed ne tumlog ko nikala tha tab mai 2 months pregnant thi, hamari shaadi ko lagbhag ek mahina hua tha, ahmed chahte the mai ise abort kardu par mere liye yeh tumare baba ki akhri nishani thi, tumlog bohut chote the isliye tumlog ko mai bata nahi saki, us din ke baad tumlog mujhe kahi nahi mile, itne salo baad dekh rahi hu ek baar mujhe gale lagalo" she said opening her arms.

Both the boys looked each other in shock.

"Aapne hume dhunda hota to milte, isi shehar me the, mar to nahi gaye the, itne saal tak isko chupa kar rakha" umer snapped loudly, angry tears were slipping out from his eyes

"Uske kapdo se kerosene ki smell arahi, uske sar pe gehri chot hai jaisi kisi bhari chiz se sar takraya ho aap use jalane wali thi? Isliye aap use lekar adhi raat ko beech sadak par bhaag rahi thi?" Ahaan's eyes were fixed on her, his voice started shaking with each word.

"Zara ko sambhal sakoge? Agar tumne mana kardia to Ahmed uski jaan lelenge, mai uska bojh aur nahi utha sakti, aaj usi ki wajah se mai yaha hu, us ladki ne meri zindagi barbaad krdi, usko abort na karna meri zindagi ki sabse badi galti thi" She said.

Both of them was shocked, they already hated her but this sentence turned their life.

"I hate you, aaj aur ek bache ki zindagi aapne khraab kardi" umer replied with fresh tears rolling down his face.

"Mai use leja raha hu, kal tak custody ke papers bhijwa dunga, sign kardena, chalo Umer!" Ahaan turned his heel without glancing umer.

"Ahaan, zara ko nahi pata uske do bhai hai" she replied.

Umer shoot daggars on her, "sharam nahi aayi aapko, bhaiya mera mann kar raha ki mai inki jaan lelu, uda dete na yar aap gaadi se marjati yeh" umer yelled, he started crying vulnerably.
