Severance Of Ties

Chapter Twenty Three

The reception was held at her mother in law's house, seeing the backyard was big enough to hold more than 50 people, they decided to do their reception there.

All of them move towards their destination. The car stops with a screeching voice in front of a big black gate which was soon opened by the servants.

All the cars swiftly enter the porch and everyone gets down. Zohan and Hana help Mushk come out of the car and move towards the backyard.

Zohan and Mushk enter the backyard holding hands and move towards the sofa, placed on a built up stage. Settling down, with Hana adjusting her dress.

Mushk looked around the backyard, which was beautifully lit with fairy lights hanging everywhere accompanied by white lilies, it was white everywhere, pleasing to eyes.

Her eyes stopped at the buffet set up in the corner, more like at the man who was standing near the buffet with Murtaza in his arms, speaking to the waiter while baby Murtuza was busy chewing the pen stolen from his breast pocket.

She continues to watch, as he laughs and takes the pen back from him and gives a piece of tortilla to chew.

Smiling at them, she knew somewhere deep down that he was the man of her dreams, no matter how much she tried to suppress this thought saying its wrong, it somehow popped out again.

Hearing Zohan's voice, she comes out of her trance and smile at some aunt who came to congratulate them. The reception went smoothly, with everyone meeting the couple and Mujtaba taking care of Ibrahim like a big brother should, dinner went by and they all stood by to take a photograph.

Mushk looks around and realizes that Irtaza wasn't here, roaming her eyes it stops in a corner where he was talking to a waiter about some left over food. She snaps out of her staring session when an arm goes around her waist, she looks up to see Zohan looking at her with a soft smile reciprocating it she looks at the camera and a snap was heard.

Later, Mushk was taken to Zohan's room at his parents house, as it was almost midnight and wasn't safe to leave at this time, while Zohan stayed back helping Irtaza in winding up.

Everything was cleared and everyone retired to there rooms, Zohan was happily going upstairs holding two ice cream cones, he was passing through his parents room and stops hearing some loud voices. Frowning, he was about to knock, but stops hearing his name.

Frowning, he was about to knock but stops hearing his name. Leaning forward he presses his ear to the door.

Now clearly hearing their words his eyes widen, he felt someone clawed at his heart.00000
