MY NIECE'S AUNT (COMPLETED)✔️

CHAPTER 61- MAHDIA IN INDIA

Mahdia smiled at the girl and the two shook hands. Zaynab then greeted Mrs. Siddiqui.

'Let us go.' Mahdia said but as she was about to walk Zaynab held her elbow and looked at her.

'Babes, you can't go like this.' Zaynab said looking up and down at her. Mahdia frowned looking at herself.

She had kept her attire as simple as she could with a white tube top, mustard yellow woollen full sleeved shrug, white and yellow muffler, denim jeans and white sneakers. Her jacket resting on the luggage trolley.

Mahdia looked up at Zaynab confused. Zaynab shook her head in disapproval.

'You are there for the first time, to your...potential in-laws...this has to go...' Zaynab said pointing at her attire.

Mrs. Siddiqui and Mahdia glanced confusedly at each other.

Zaynab called for her driver and drove Mahdia to her place. There they spend next half an hour to decide Mahdia attire for the day. By the time they were done, Mrs. Siddiqui had slept off on the sofa.

'Ma!' Mrs. Siddiqui woke up with a jolt on hearing her daughter's voice. For a minute, she is dazed not knowing where she is. She took another minute to compose herself. Mahdia and Zaynab waited patiently.

Mrs. Siddiqui then looked at Mahdia, she is dressed in a simple red printed full sleeved short Kurti with a keyhole neckline, denim jeans and flats. Her muffler around her neck acting as a dupatta.

'So?' Zaynab smiled nervously at Mrs. Siddiqui who gave a nod and thumbs up. Mahdia and Zaynab smiled at each other.

******************************************************

Mahdia felt nervous as she climbed down the car. Mrs. Siddiqui hasn't come, she was dropped in the guest house which is not very far. She had wanted to go to her old home but Zaynab under Ahyan's order requested her that she can only go there once that place is cleaned up. Mahdia will be staying with Mariam at Ahyan's place, hopefully.

Zaynab placed a palm on her shoulder and squeezed it little assuring her that everything will be fine. Mahdia smiled nervously.

She wished she had Ahyan by her side, she would have felt less nervous then. She made silent prayers and exhaled loudly before walking with Zaynab towards the main door of the mansion.

'Maddy!'

Mariam jumped happily on spotting her Aunt at the footsteps. Ever since Zaynab had texted that she is going to the airport to pick up Mahdia, Mariam had been pacing in the living room ignoring her grandmother and Butler running behind her requesting her to have some snacks.

A bright smile appeared on Mahdia's face. From past two weeks, Mahdia had been crying most of the time. She would speak with Mariam through video calls and phone calls, and it was only then she would smile. Else she kept staring at Mariam's photo and crying.

Mahdia was about to step inside when a loud booming baritone echoed in the huge hall.

'Stop!'

Everyone froze

***************************************************

Ahyan had left the house soon after breakfast around 9 and it is after nightfall he returned. Now he has a terrible headache.

'Ajmal Kaka!' Ahyan called. A stubby old man dressed in a butler suit came immediately.

'One black coffee in my room in ten minutes.' He ordered and the butler nodded leaving. Ahyan removed his coat, folded his sleeves, and loosened his tie. He slumped on the sofa and relaxed in the posh sofa. He is exhausted. A warm shower will do him good.
