The darkness that begins to settle over Zuhair’s heart is subtle at first. He remains silent, watching the world unfold around him, but within him stirs a quiet resentment, a seed planted by the two sisters who seem to know exactly how to manipulate his thoughts. He begins to see Muzammil through their eyes—through the distorted lens of their lies. The boy, who once seemed like an innocent soul caught in the tides of misfortune, now appears more like a threat, an irritant, a person who should be cast aside.

Laiba and Maham, sensing the shift in Zuhair’s attitude, push harder, their words becoming even sharper, more calculated. They feed him half-truths, bend the narrative to suit their needs, and slowly, like an infection, the mistrust spreads. The once faint whispers now echo in Zuhair’s mind, growing in strength, eroding the last remnants of his former empathy for Muzammil. With each passing day, the distance between them widens, a chasm that seems to grow deeper with every word spoken.
