"Dimag kharab ho gya hai?" Her eyes went wide.

(Have you lost your mind?)

"Mahi" I held her hand but she jerked it.

"Do you even think how baba will react listening to this news?" Her question made me lower my head.

"Ghar chal phir baat karte hain" I held her hand and pull her with me outside.

(We'll talk when we reach home)

"Batao mujhe" She asked me when we reached home.

(Tell me)

"She is our mother, mahi and she have a right on us" I try to made her understand.

She started laughing loudly listening me.

"You are saying this, YOU" She pointed her index finger towards me.

"Weren't you the one who said she is not our mother and you don't want anything from her, right?" She continued, she was on the verge of crying.

"Lekin aik baar ko main tumhari baat maan bhi lun k wo hamari maa hain unka hum per haq hai toh Phir baba ka kya?" Her eyes held the pain, she was asking me and me, who know she was right kept silent.

(If I, for a second Belive you that she is our mother and she have a right on us then what about baba?)

Because if I told her the whole truth she will hate me and I can't bear her hatred.

"Wo baba jinhone ham per apna sab kch qurban kar diya, unka kya maham?" Her voice get louder, tears streaming through her eyes.

(The same baba who sacrifice his everything for us, what about him maham?)

No maham, Don't cry.

Don't cry.

"Bolo, chup kyun ho ab" I looked at her, sighed and told her.

(Say something, why are you silent now)

"I like Him mahi" l lied.

She frowned and asked me"you are lying? if you liked him and knew him than why I don't know him? Hnn?".

"Because I Don't tell you that's why" I again lied, my voice sounded angry.

I don't want to be angry but I know her, if I talk to her softly she will not listen to me.

"And it's truth that I like him" I spoke.

"Okay then, why didn't you told baba all this" She questioned, her hands over her chest.

"I was waiting for the right time and please don't ask more questions now, his family liked me and I'm getting married that's it" I spoke.

"And I'll tell baba when he come back from the hospital. Now I'm going, Dr Amma was calling me, bye" I said and went to hospital.

It's been fifteen days since baba's surgery and he was doing fine now. I told baba about my marriage, he got angry at first but eventually got agree when he met my to be in-laws.

Turned out that baba and Usman Uncle -my to be father in-law- both were friends even he also mentioned that me and his son -the groom- knew each other but I don't remember him.
