Chapter Seven
Maryam's POV
"I'm.... I'm sorry Ma" I stuttered. "Walahi, I didn't mean to- It was a mistake walahi" I explained out of fear.
"Mistake? You called this a mistake?!" She asked and slaps me hardly across my face.
"Walahi, it was a mistake. Please ma, forgive me"
"Stop showing me that foolish face of yours! It can only work on my husband and not me" she said beating me with both of her hands.
"Please Ma, I'm sorry" I begged crying.
"Stupid girl! Why don't you just die! Please die and leave I and my husband alone in peace, I'm tired of seeing your face! I hate you so much, just go away from here witch"
"NANA!!! What are you doing again?!!" Asked, an angry voice of Dad. He pushed her away from me and picked me up. "Maryam are you hurt?". He asked in his concern tone as he inspect my body.
"Jawad! what do you think you're doing? Don't tell me you cared for her, more than me?" She asked glaring.
"Nana, you're crossing your limit! I told you! I told you Nana!! I told you! She's got nothing to do with this! It's not her fault!" Dad exclaimed angrily.
"I'm crossing my limit?! Did you just said, I crossed my limit?! No! No, I did not! She did! " She yells as she point her index finger at me. "This witch did! She's the one crossing her limit Jawad! I just can't stand her in my house! I can't bear a second with her! I always remember the past whenever I sees her face! I can never like her! I can never like her Jawad" she shouts.
"Nana-" Dad said softly.
"Please Jawad, just listen to me for once! have you forgotten what her parent did to us?! Have you forgotten?! If you have, then I've not. Because of her parents, I wasn't able to- I didn't get to....I didn't get to see...." She didn't finish her statement as tears flows down her cheek uncontrollably.
"You know what, just forget about it" She wipe her tears. "You can never understand me! You don't even know how I feel! You don't know how a mother feels when her daughter has been taken away from her"
"So, I'm telling you now Jawad, I can never like any other child except mine! I want my daughter back Jawad! Please, just bring back my daughter to me! If you don't, then I won't stop torturing her! I'm telling you Jawad, I won't stop. Most especially, when I know, her father is involve in all of this" she said and then walks away.
"Daddy!". I tug his trouser, he looks down at me and I asked. "What's going on? What is Aunty saying? What has my Daddy done to her? Why is she so mad at my Daddy?". He didn't speak, instead, he strokes my cheek.
"Dad, My Daddy is a good man, I promise you. If she thinks my Dad has done something bad to her, then she's mistaken. Walahi, my Dad is a good man. He isn't bad, I swear."
"Maryam dear, At times, there are some things which is better to be left unsaid. So many things has happened in the past which you weren't aware of. Though,this is not the right time for you to learn everything but you soon will, when the time is right"
"The only thing I could tell you for now is, whatever my wife has been doing is totally not her entire fault.
"But-"
"Maryam, can you please just try and make her happy instead? Make her forget the past. I know, it won't be easy on you but trust me, you can do it. Can you please endure everything for the main time? Just a little bit longer,and she'll come back to her senses"
"Can you do that for me, please?"
"But, I don't know what to do Daddy. She hates me so much,she can't even stand me for a minute". I complained.
"I know Maryam and that's why, I'm begging you to do this for me. First, get closer to her and you'll know she have a soft spot hidden in her. I know her Maryam, she used to be nice, most kindest. Very kind and friendly. She used to love kids a lot but after that horrible incident, she totally changed. She's no more the person I used to know. Whatever happens in the past, involves your father, and that's why she's still angry"
"But, what happened?"
"I can't tell you dear, but please angel, change her for good. You can help her over come her past.......Please dear, can you do that for me?"
I sighed before answering. "Okay Daddy, I'll try my best. No matter what happens from now on, I'll always remember your word. If truly, it's my Dad's fault and also the reason why Aunty is like this, then I'll make sure to always make her happy. I promise you daddy".
"Thank you so much Maryam". He thanked me with a tight hug.
