"The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies. It comes from your friends and loved ones..."Manizeh was going toward the kitchen when she heard the screaming as her Mamo and Farhan were in a heated argument while Raheela was trying to calm them down.
She frowned but turned toward the kitchen as she didn't want to interfere in their family matter.
But when she heard her name she got curious and hides behind the wall listening to the conversation.
But Halim baigh next words shook her to the core.
"Why do you do this Farhan? How stupid can you be to destroy my 20 years of hard work? I told you to let her be... I have everything under control here. I would have Fariha to sign the factory under my name but you have to go and do this,"
Halim baigh was angry at his son's behavior his impatience can cost his more than he wants.
Manizeh was shocked at his words; she gasped but closed her mouth with one hand so she won't alert them.
"What do you want me to do? Huh... You want me to wait and let her go. Well, that to me sounds pathetic because Baba I won't let Manizeh or her property go to waste. She has fallen in love with that bastard... I have seen them together and it's the best way to get her back,"
Farhan screamed agitated and Manizeh was dumbstruck at her place.
How can the people she considered family does this to her? She was feeling nauseous as tears were filling her eyes.
"I wouldn't have let do that, you idiot... She loved her mother so much to abandon her. And stop with this absurd obsession of your Farhan... She was married to Taimoor and he will never let her go. You are a fool to send him divorce papers with her fake signature thinking that he will give up easily," Halim baigh spoke irritated.
His son was being irrational and this was boiling his blood.
Manizeh looked wide eyes and agape mouth at them as the word divorce registered in her mind.
Did they send him a divorce paper on her behalf? No, she won't let that happen, no one can separate her from her Mir, she thought.
"Well, then I won't let him have her. She was supposed to be mine... But that bastard Mir Burhan Khan has to marry her off to his grandson. I told you, Baba... I won't let him have her and that property was mine. I didn't work all this year to be left empty-handed," he spoke agitatedly.
Now tears were flowing down Manizeh cheeks, she was broken as she saw the true selves of her Mamo family.
She has always considered Halim baigh and Farhan her family but this broke her beyond the limit.
But this was not the end, more truths have to be revealed.
