Dedicated to all my wonderful,patiently waiting readers.....!!
May Allah bless you all .....Aameen!
The mild showers of rain had been intermittent throughout the day but
the weather was dull & gloomy.Grey clouds had covered the vast blue sky
imparting a woeful aura to the atmosphere!
In the spacious,well arranged kitchen of the Shaykh's house,the beautiful
wife of Mr.Afzal Shaykh was sitting ,engaged in some task,simultaneously
paying heed to her conflicting thoughts.A slight frown had settled between her
dark brows ,as she pondered upon the numerous thoughts flooding her perplexed
mind! Throughout the entire day she had been uneasy and restless..!!!
Being preoccupied with everything going on in her mind,she wasn't able to
concentrate properly on any of the assigned work. Ever since morning,...those
words had kept repeating themselves in the realm of her thoughts giving way
to a thousand dreadful possibilities....
Words that her favourite brother in law had said to her in a way he never
talked before.....
The same brother in law who was more of a brother to her.....
She recalled that look of disapproval & hatred on his face when he had uttered
those words to her.......the kind of look she had never seen before...especially
on the handsome,smiling face of her always optimistic brother in law....
Arhaan Shaykh..!!!
Even now as she thought of it,Zaara flinched and paused in her task of
shredding the chicken.
"Shattered hearts can never built a Home",.....those words had instilled a
strange feeling of fear & anxiety in her slowly mending heart...!!!
How happy all of them had been...as a family....sweet and loving....each one
of them with blissful,heartfelt smiles......!!!
Zaara wondered what went wrong......
From what Nawal had told her,everything went absolutely well at the party...
But then again ,her friend's behaviour too hadn't been much convincing.
It didn't escape Zaara's notice,how Nawal had only conversed with her,in
the presence of their mom in law,....the rest of the time she had excused herself
and remained confined in her room.As for now,she had accompanied her mom
in law to the market after offering Asr Salah leaving Zaara alone in the house!
But the deep ,unique bond they shared was strong enough for Zaara to conclude
something was wrong with her friend...
What bothered her though was why Nawal didn't tell her when they shared almost
everything...!!!
With a heavy sigh,she considered the other possibility....
It could probably be a fight between the Shaykh brothers!!!
Then again,when did it happen?Where was she at that moment?
But that's the only convincing thing which relates to the comment Arhaan had
made about the quote..!!!
And that explains his aggravated behaviour towards her too.....because if it
was a fight between Arhaan and Nawal ,he wouldn't be angry on his
sister in law..!!
Yet again.....Arhaan was never the type of person to remove someone else's
anger on others,so even if she considered he had a fight with his brother,it didnt
provide any convincing explanation about his unnatural behaviour display...!!!
