Severance Of Ties

Chapter Twenty

"Its beautiful." Mushk whispers looking at the blooming roses Zohan turns back and smiles seeing her looking around.

He moves forward and takes her in a side hug.

"I knew you would like it, your brother already told me about your likes and dislikes." Zohan tells her kissing her temple when he sees her smiling sadly.

"Come on lets go inside." Mujtaba tugs at his pant, who laughs at him and picks him.

Mushk trails behind them with Murtaza in her arms, smiling at the laughing duo. She gets inside the house looking around, it was a small beautiful 2 story house.

Everything was covered in white sheets to keep them protected from the dust, the same way how Zohan was protecting them against all odds.

Mushk comes downstairs to see workers everywhere, setting the items on their place, She tightly wraps her shawl around herself and moves towards Zohan, who was instructing some workers.

"What was the need of this? I was thinking to do it tomorrow with you." Mushk tells him whining slightly, making him smile at his cute wife.

"I don't want you to tire yourself, there is no need for you to work. Taking care of 2 kids is already handful and from tomorrow, a maid will come to the house to do the chores while you take care of the kids." Zohan tells her holding her shoulders and taking upstairs. "Fine! But I'll do the cooking." she said with a full-stop tone, leaving no space for argument.

"Okay! As you wish and...I was thinking to visit Mustafa today.. I-I mean, if it is okay with you." Zohan tells her stuttering in between, thinking she will get upset hearing about her brother.

"Yeah, we will visit them, I was about to ask you and was thinking to take Mujtaba too." Mushk whispers to him, smiling sadly.

"Go and get ready then, we don't have much time, If we are late, mom will cause an uproar." Zohan jokingly tells her, a glee present in his eyes.

"What?",Zohan softly asks her who was staring at him.

"You are so happy and here I thought you won't like the kids presence." Mushk tells him looking down.

"You are my life line Mushk, how could I not be happy when I got you, and why won't I be happy with the kids presence? They are my best friend's kids, they are with me because of the trust they had on me, It's my duty" Zohan tells her holding her chin, looking in her eyes. Mushk smiles softly and whispers a small thanks.

Zohan shakes his head at his naive wife and kisses her forehead, later on, he ushers her in the bedroom to get ready.

Tightening Mujtaba's shoe lace, Mushk gets up and holds Murtaza.

"Aunt, where are we going?" Mujtaba asks to her, who was locking the door.

"We are going to hospital, to meet mom and dad!" Mushk fake cheerfully tells him who looks up at her, his big brown eyes looking at her with lot of question.
