Chap.14

"Now, neither time nor feelings remain with My sorrow.

sky was darkening  . She was spreading files on the study table. A slight noise forced her to raise her head. Father with wheelchair were entering the room. She stood up involuntarily. "Why did you come yourself when I didn't come on your call?"

She brought a wheelchair from behind and placed it in front of her, then sat on the sofa opposite, putting her feet up. Father looked at her with sad eyes." Didn't you ask about the food I ate when I came back in the evening? "I didn't I had eaten food when I will come back doesn't matter." She replied, wrapping her hair around her finger.

"Was he happy? "He call you twice a day, ask him." Then, a silence like the night outside fell between them. Father looked at her with concern and sadness. "Who will start the conversation, you or me? And if you do, how many sentences will you use as an introduction?" She asked calmly.

"Zumar... get married." He said painfully." You didn't even tie me up today." She put the cushion in her lap. "How long will you mourn this broken relationship, my daughter? Make my death easier, stop now. "You go, I don't come emotional blackmail. When I need to, I'll tell you. Besides, I'm getting old now. Who will marry me?"

"In a few years, you will really look old. I don't want to die with this pain." "Okay, Father, let's talk straight."

She put the cushion aside, put her feet down, crossed her legs, pushed her hair back, and took a deep breath. She had become a prosecutor again. "You marry me off to anyone, XYZ, I'll do it. Then I'll become more bitter, more helpless, and more bitter in a few days. He will have expectations from me that I won't fulfill, I'll remain the same, he will tolerate me in the beginning, say forget the past, I'll say the phase hasn't passed yet, it will take time. He will be patient but soon lose his patience, get angry, raise his hand, hate me, throw me out of the house in three months, and I'll be sitting here. Now tell me, what will be more painful for you?" Father looked at her with sadness. "Won't you try to make your marriage successful?"

"How can I move on when I haven't even left this phase?" When will you leave this phase? You know, when something gets stuck in my mind, it becomes impossible for me to shake it off. I make it my life, and when we last had this discussion, we didn't speak to each other for two days. How many days do you plan to stay silent this time?"

Father nodded slowly in affirmation. "But will you try to move on from this phase?"

"I've been trying for four years, I'm going through a lot of trauma, my kidneys are damaged, the wedding was canceled, Hamad left me during my illness, that was a terrible time, Father! I can't move forward until I forget that time. Give me some time."

She watched as Father shook his head and turned back, but she was also helpless.

The dark veil of night had covered all sins and flaws. In such a situation, all the lights of the high house of Car Daraz were lit. When Jewels entered the dining hall with a swift pace, the servants standing in a row seemed to be waiting for her. Jewels nodded towards the Filipino maid with her eyes. As Jewels approached her, the Filipino maid, Meri, looked up and then bowed her head in shame. "Did you bring my necklace from Jo Haris, the one you sold?" Jawharat asked with a cold smile. Meri looked up with red, swollen eyes. "Yes Ma'am!" and place the box in front, then opened up. Jawharat picked up the necklace with two fingers and examined it. It was the same dimand necklace. "And what did I tell you when I found out about your theft?" She was looking at the necklace, rolling it between her fingers. "You said, Ma'am, that if I return the necklace, you won't tell my agency, and I can return to my country with dignity." Meri spoke fearfully. Jawharat looked at her with sharp, lioness-like eyes. "Then be happy. Because I have already told your agency everything. You will be deported from here tomorrow, and you will never be able to do this job again in your life, because its importance was this much to me." Saying this, Jawharat threw the necklace away. It flew and fell into the pot of an artificial plant. "Nothing is more important than loyalty, Meri! Now you can go."
