"Who is it Habeebah?" Humairah asked seeing how drained she looks.
"Mahmoud." Habeebah replied faintly.
"What on earth is looking for here of all places?" Suhaib asked enraged.
"Someone needs to talk sense into this guy." Farouk gritted.
Before Humairah could protest, he was out of the door.
"Don't come out, just stay here, let's see what he wants." Suhaib said exiting the room.
"Habeebah! Habeebah! Get your ass down here this minute." Mahmoud clamoured shouting.
"What do you want? Why are you here?" Farouk asked coming out from the passageway.
"Look boy, I am not here for you, get your sister down here this minute." Mahmoud replied impatient.
"And why does it interest you to see Habeebah?" Suhaib inquired joining his brother at the vestibule.
"Like I said earlier, I have not come for you both. Get Habeebah down this minute or all hell will break loose." Mahmoud cautioned glaring at them.
"What if we don't?" Farouk asked challenging.
"Do you know we can get you arrested for coming here to constitute a nuisance in our house?" Suhaib questioned obscurely angered.
"Are you threatening me?" Mahmoud asked squinting his eyes intimidatingly.
"See it whichever way you want to, now get out of my house before you see the other side of me." Farouk warned pointing to the gate.
Meanwhile, Habeebah and Humairah were at the window watching what was transpiring between Mahmoud and her brothers.
"I seriously don't know what he wants." Habeebah said rubbing her temple.
"What else will he be here for? I am sure he has come here to threaten you." Humairah countered peering her eyes out the window.
"Who are those making so much noise outside?" Baba asked Umma as they were sitted in his study.
"Let me check," Umma said standing up. "Suhaib and Farouk and some unknown fellow." Umma said squinting her eyes to see the unknown person clearly.
"I can't see clearly.....what is he doing here?" Umma asked puzzled.
"Who is that dear?" Baba asked glancing through some documents.
"It's Mahmoud." Umma replied hands akimbo.
"Ma......who?" Baba asked quickly getting up on his feet. "What does he want? What is he doing here?" He added walking to the window.
"We will just have to find out." Umma replied making her way to the door.
Thankfully Aaliyah, Hannan and Hajara were out to pick some stuff from the mall but Adnaan, is no where to be found. Perhaps he is with Malam Musa at the barn.
"Dad?" Adnaan asked from the balcony confused at to what his father is doing here. To avoid been seen, he sauntered of to his room to get a clear vision of what was going on.
"Mahmoud you're crossing the line here, Habeebah doesn't want to see you, don't you get it." Suhaib said pissed off by his attitude.
"Habeebah I know you can hear me, do us both good by coming out now." Mahmoud yelled ignoring Suhaib's warning.
"Arrogant fool," Humairah hissed. "How on earth did you cope with this narcissist?" She asked scrunching her nose making Habeebah laugh.
"What is going on here?" Hassan asked walking out the door way with Umma beside him.
