Shahnoor's POV :-

"AMMI!" I screamed as another whipped contact her lifeless body on the floor.

"I'LL KILL YOU WOMEN! HOW DARE YOU INSULT ME!?! HUH!" Baba shouted as he again beat ammi with his leather belt.

My bag fall down from my hands and I ran towards her, I covered her curled body with mine.

"Ba-baba, sstop it! Pl-please khu-khuda ke liye rukjayein ( Stop for God's sake)." I said while crying.

Ammi's little sobs mix with her hiccups is what I could hear. I saw Abdullah fainted on the floor. Ya Allah, my heart is breaking please stop him.

"LEAVE YOU B*TCH, GO AWAY!" Baba shouted as another whipped came towards my ammi's leg but I came in between.

"AAHHH!" I screamed as it hit me on my back.

That's when I heard the belt dropped on the floor, I look at his shoes backing away.

"Make sure from next time she doesn't insult me or else the consequences will be much worse." He said and left the house.

"Ammi.." I whispered, a tear rolled down her cheek but she stayed still.

I look towards Abdullah, I got up and went in the kitchen and took a glass of water than walked out. I crouch down in front of Abdullah than sprinkled some water on his face which made him come out of his unconscious state. He quickly stood up, I look at him. He seems startled as his breath labored.

"Aa-appi (Sister) Ammi, ammi..save her!" He said holding my left shoulder with his both hands.

"Abdullah.." I tried to calm him, but he shake his head.

"N-No aapi save ammi, ba-baba is beating her." He said while shivering than soon his eyes landed on ammi's figure laying on floor.

He immediately let go of my hand and ran towards her than sat in front of her, he kept her head on his lap and started stroking her hair. Tears were flowing like river through his eyes. His trembling form visible to my eyes.

"Ammi..." He whispered enough for me to hear.

"Ammi, I told you to stop saying anything to him. He won't listen and will get angry but you didn't listen to me. Why? Just leave everything ammi, we'll have patience until Allah is with us." He said to her.

"Abdullah.." I whispered looking at his new personality.

He changed so much, he was a naughty boy back than, never listening to anything we say but now he is talking about having patience. Ya Allah, just for my little brother's sake have mercy.

I got up and walked towards them, I put my hand on his shoulder while bending down. He look up, with teary eyes than his gaze again casted down towards ammi.

"Ammi told baba that we were out of groceries, so baba said to tell you to bring the groceries but ammi informed him that you lost your job. Baba got angry and started saying bad things about you than ammi told baba that he should have shame making you work for money, that's when baba lose his control and started beating ammi with his belt. I tried to stop him but he pushed me away, my mind started feeling heavy when I heard ammi's screams and than everything black out." He said caressing ammi's cheeks with his hand.
