ch-38 Defending him?

Author's pov

Hamza stared at aadil in shock. Aadil's gaze was dangerous, deep and had an anger from which he was really scared of. Meanwhile the others looked at the scene in shock, they didn't excepted this to happen ever.

Aadil held hamza's coller and made him stand up. He again slapped hamza and he stumbled back. Aafiya was too stunned to speak but then she quickly went near them and stood between aadil and hamza when aadil was about to slap hamza again.

Aadil- aafiya move out of my way!! He roared but aafiya didn't flinch.

Aafiya- stop this bhai. She said and aadil froze, she called him bhai?

Aadil- why. He whispered still in anger but a little calm now.

Aafiya- because this is not how it works. She whispered back while aadil stared at her.

Mustafa- can someone care to explain us? He asked firmly and the brothers gulped. They knew their father will be angry more than themselves. I asked something! He said loudly when no one spoke.

Shayan- I'll tell you. He said and looked at aafiya who gave him a brief nod.

Aafiya- before he does, let me tell you all that every story has two sides. She said and turned to look at hamza who was not meeting anyones eyes.

And then shayan narrated the story. By the time he finished, everyone were frozen now, they couldn't believe what they just heard. They looked at aafiya who was looking down with tears in her eyes. She was controlling herself to not cry, she has to be strong now. Before anyone could speak, asra marched towards hamza and slapped him hard.

Asra- are you insane hamza!? How much did you hate her to leave her in an abandoned street? To leave her alone, crying to herself. Hoping you would come back. She said as her tears flowed now. She couldn't think straight, was it really her son? The one she has raised.

Mustafa- whatever happened was our fault hamza, but what you did doesn't justify anything! He said holding asra who was crying in anger.

Asra- you can't be my son, you are not the one who I raised. She said making Hamza's heart crumble, the disappointment in his parents eyes crushed him.

Aafiya- mumma. She said slowly and stepped near her. She gently wiped her tears while asra stared at her. Mumma, don't cry like this, what happened was in the past, please don't think about that now.

She said and asra hugged her tightly, why was her daughter so calm and understanding? What did she do to deserve such a daughter. Meanwhile the brothers where looking at hamza with anger.

They wanted to scold him, to punish him but aafiya wasn't allowing them to do so. But they'll definitely not let this slide. Hamza deserves a good lesson and he will get it for sure, well untill aafiya doesn't interfere.

Aaban- how can you you stoop so low hamza. He said in a calm voice but anger was visible behind it.

Aafiya- sorry to say bhaiyya, but you guys were no better. She said and their heart beat fastened.

Saad- but aafiya, we wouldn't do that ever, no matter how much we didn't like you. He tried to defend.

Aafiya- yes maybe you are right, but that doesn't mean you all were still better. You all had other ways, something or other, Each one of you. She said and they looked down in shame.

Aadil- yes we were no better but you can't defend him. What he did was worse! He said glaring at hamza who was shedding tears silently, he couldn't speak, or more like, he wouldn't speak because he knew he deserves every inch of their anger.
