Severance Of Ties

Chapter Thirteen

She was silently sitting in the living room, having nothing to do, she just kept her eyes on the boys who were playing on the floor, and Ibrahim for the first time opened up to Mujtaba though he was more fascinated by the baby in his fathers arms. Murtaza wasn't ready to leave Irtaza, he kept clinging to him.

Yasmin enters the living room and looks at Murtaza in her sons arms who wasn't ready to go to Mushk who was trying to take him to feed.

"Maybe the aura you've around you when he is present, makes him think you're his father." Yasmin laughingly tells Irtaza, who smiles hearing his mothers words.

He looks down in his arms to see the 3 month old baby glaring at his aunt, who was trying to take him. Hana laughs seeing them.

"Mushk, I think you should leave him to us, look at how he is trying to scare you!" Hana jokingly tells her and moves towards Irtaza, skillfully picking up the baby.

And for the first time, a genuine smile breaks out on her lips hearing Hana's words.

As soon as Hana picks up Murtaza from his arms, a loud wail breaks in the hall making everyone laugh.

laughing, Irtaza gets up and takes the crying baby in his arms, who immediately shuts up as if he wasn't screaming his lungs out a second before.

Hana pouts at the baby, and leans to kiss his forehead. Seeing all this Yasmin gets an idea and goes to her husband to discuss it.

"Are you out of your mind?" Hussain's (Irtaza's father) loud voice booms in the bedroom, after all he was the father of the same dominant man sitting outside, craddling a baby in his arms.

But his wife didn't even fazed a bit on his scary voice.

"What wrong did I say, look at how the children have got attached to Irtaza, it will be good if she'll marry Irtaza. I, from the start, had wanted to make her my daughter in law, it was you who didn't let that happen, look at what you did to my son." Yasmin sternly tells her husband, her hands perched on her hips.

A look of guilt passes in his eyes, averting his eyes from his wife, he turns away checking the files.

"Are you even listening to me?" Yasmin yells out at her husband.

Hussain sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose, he looks up, seeing his wife standing in front of him.

"Look love! It was impossible, this boy was accepted by Mustafa himself. We don't have the right to change it. If their alliance would've not been fixed, then surely I would've married her to Irtaza.",Hussain softly tells her wife, love clearly present in his eyes. "But we have a chance right now, the wedding isn't done yet, just try to talk to Quadris."Yasmin whispers to him, she knew it was of no use because what Hussain said just know was right.0000000
