Does modesty remain only in clothes?.
◇◇◇◇◇◇
She holds the sobbing young body closer to her body as her eyes meet the woman who had brought her to the world.
Her instinct told her that the woman was anything but a mother to such a beautiful child. Her motherly instincts clench even harder as her arms now wrap around her in a protective manner.
"That's my daughter". The woman snarled at her
Her eyes remain cold as ice looking down at the woman as she hears the whimper of the child who holds her tighter, "I don't care. This is my office and the child decide who she wants to stay with".
"Who do you think you are to threaten me?". The woman said as anger grip her
She knows that this woman doesn't take no for an answer and she has always had her ways with everything.
Good or bad.
"Trust me you wouldn't want to know who I am". She replied with so much force that can have one who their knees, "Because the moment you start knowing me will be the end of you".
She finds her visibly shudder at her remark knowing she has an upper hand on her and there was no way she is allowing this woman to take the sobbing child from her especially when the child had trusted her to protect and comfort her.
It was different kind of peace she felt by knowing someone trusted her like this even if it's just five years old.
"Wouldn't you say something". The sharp tongue woman shouted at her husband- Zalaan
Zalaan eyes went to his wife as the conflict in emotions then they went to her eyes which were challenging him to speaks against her words which had him shut.
"Is this your manliness?. I thought you were a real man but I never knew that you were just a coward. I have ruined my life by marrying you and having that child who destroyed my well-built figure". She screamed as she tries to guilt charge him
His eyes remain connected to that of Ambreen that have no words of her have the same effect that they always have on him. Maybe just for this moment at least.
"I will have a talk with Agha Jaan (grandfather) and then show you what's it's like to mess with me". She screamed further as she walks away
Ambreen stays in her place but then a heartbreaking sob of the child have her heart clench. She immediately soothed her by patting her back pushing her up and down as she whispers sweet words to her to calm her down enough that she pushes back looking at her with her tears filled eyes breaking her heart.
She holds her with one hand while she uses her other hand to clear her face from the tears as she kisses her forehead lovingly, "Are you hungry, baby?".
Mahzala nodded meekly.
******
She holds her in her lap as she has brought her to the restaurant near her workplace which serves the best lasagna. She feds her with so much love she never knew she held in her.He didn't speak.
He stays sitting right across her with his gaze following her every movement but no words made it out of his mouth. She directed and he followed.
Not even scared of his Agha Jaan this time.
The pure affection he had wished for his daughter to have from her mother was now given to her by another woman who was nothing to both of them.
