PS..GET TISSUES FOR THE EMOTIONAL ONES, THIS IS A SAD CHAPTER, BELIMME, A TRAGIC ONE

.......................................................................

"To what do we owe this visit, my children" Maryam spoke smiling widely.

At early at ten, zayed ,Ahmad and Amirah have already arrived at their parents house. Zayed whos driving waited at the gate ,they all stared at the house

The house...

....The house they once called home, the house where their childhood held, the house where they were proud to call themselves family, the house where they found love, the house where they found peace ,unity and harmony, the house which was longed called a house ,and it was in the house their ties were unbroken....

....and as they pushed the large mahogany door open, a strong wind full with memories washed their faces , and hallucinations of their childhood...

'Mummy, mummy ' Ahmad stared at his little figure running in the house with his scooter calling his mother, as a tear slipped out of Ahmad's eyes....and the figure plus everything disappeared

'Laa, khalas ' zayed stared at his young figure angry at his mother who has snatched all his gadgets,for, his upcoming exams. A pain hit him in the heart , zayeds eyes started to burn
.......as everything disappeared

'Oh my god, dad I have passed my check point, I did it ' Amirah stared at her tiny figure enveloping her father in a hug excitedly, as she jubilate round the house......as tears of grief cascaded down her cheeks

......their very best moments of happiness in the house,

"To what do we this visit, my lovely children"  Maryam their mother spoke as she noticed them standing in tears, her presence only earned her a deadly glare, with different daggers and oak sticks at her

" why are you all crying, have you missed us this much" she called for Islam "islama"

"Look at them" Maryam pointed towards her children, after some minutes of thick, and akward silence, they all moved to sit at the living room

The white palace- one of the biggest of the floor, with the best decorations of white , pure white colour

The white palace- the same living room, their last arguments held

Not a voice of a crying, whirring bird could be heard, at that moment, a daring silence engulfed the room, and at that moment, competition of glares amongst whom will shoot the most terrific and dangerous look

It was at the end...Maryam finally spoke

"I don't know why I hate this, everytime I am with my family, I feel like a failure"

"A loser indeed" zayed added causing him a meaningful glare from Islam

"I feel awkward looking at my parents, this doesn't even look like a family. We do not get the audacious of calling ourselves family" it is amirah that spoke

"....and all of this happened because of?" Not that zayed didn't know who, but he wanted the person to speak

And yet, it caused him a second glare

"Why do you think getting married would solve everything" Ahmad questioned his parents

"For, it would heal us" Maryam answered

"Am afraid, the family that has been broken long time ago, has no cure " zayed spoke ignoring the third meaningful glared Islam shots him

"Whats with you and not understanding, ma bi kum (what's with you) your happiness is just that matters to me" Maryam snapped

"Understand what, how you shattered our family into pieces. You talk like you don't have a choice, but-but this is your doing, all of it"

For the first time in a lifetime Ahmad truly did shot back at his mother, Ahmad who's the innocent one amongst them .

...so now what of the rest, especially zayed.

"Or how you seperared me from my First love" amirah is in tears,

...she continues

"Malik, my first love. I loved that man with all my heart ,and you knew I loved him, but for, he's not an emirati , hes not from a  wealthy family,you refused to give me my blessings, all I needed was your blessing for the marriage, all I needed was your approval, but- I didn't get one. He's too poor for your daughter right"

....hiccups

"You talk about happiness when, your daughter was denied one by her mother. You separated me from him, from my malik and now he's married with two lovely daughters, I was so devastated so I left you the country and went to start a new life, for , I couldn't live seeing the man I have loved with another woman and not me"

....continues

"You talk about happiness when you parted our family away, you took ahmad to sharjah in order not him to stay with his family, in order not him to know the monster you are. Uh- and for zayed, you manipulated him with your deceptions."

"And now after all this things, after we have reclaimed our home and have devoured all your fallacy and delusions, you want to detach and marry up us again....sounding like history's going to repeat itself"

Amirah finished in tears, but her words didn't make Maryam sympathise her

"Did you think i'll let you marry that poor wretched boy who called himself malik" Amira ignored her

"You keep bringing what had happened in the past, the past is the past, leg go of what's already gone. And face the reality ,life is too short for you to wake up with the need of avenging, have fate of what had happened and believe in what to come next" islam spoke

"Shabb" zayed mutterd silently

"You have heard whatever amirah said father, and yet, you said nothing but to forgive and forget. I don't know its like you have gone blind and deaf nowadays. You never see your wife's fault in everything she has done."

Zayed started

"I thank you father for been with us when she wasn't there, but trust me if tell you this. I hate you as I do her now"

....zayed finished with real despise

"You are all really something else; father, mother . you could have for a one moment chosen to stand by us, to believe in us, to believe in our intentions for ourselves but for pure you chose to stand against us and sit to be called our enemies.....for in differ circumstances we might me enemies"

......amirah finished with real spurn

"The wedding would never take place and if it did then, you should know ,we would never give our blessings , asper listening to you, you should know ,you were always great at words but its going to take more than a pretty speech this time "

.......ahmad finished with real loathe

"Amirah, zayed, ahmad, don't go please, this is home we are your parents " islam started,

"What home, this pathetic substitute , you see despite all your doubts, all your attempts to taut me, I have reclaimed our true home, which is just the three of us" zayed finished

Islam wanted to talk, but Maryam stopped him with a raised hand.

"Ilal liqah" with that they stormed our of the house.

Real, storm and silence doesn't drive together🎆

Maryam and Islam s conversation would come after
