Severance Of Ties

Chapter Sixty

"You very well know it's today." He angrily grits his teeth and looks down, trying to control his anger.

Mushk's happy mood went down from there, which didn't go unnoticed by Irtaza, his anger was increasing.

There was no need of his father to ask about the case just after their wedding.

He was in his study with Yasmin and his father, with Hussain trying to defend himself.

"I just asked... "Hussain was trying to clear himself when Irtaza interrupted him.

"I know you were asking, but didn't you realize how your one question spoiled her mood since morning? You could've asked me later but no.. " Irtaza heaves up and down, breathing heavily.

"Just see mom, he never wants my happiness. He was the reason why I lost Mushk before and now that I have got her after this much of trouble, then look at his behavior right now!" Irtaza complains to his mother, disappointed at his father.

"I had no such intentions Irtaza, you're misunderstanding me." Hussain helplessly tries to defend himself.

"You're lying! You never wanted my happiness. You only thought about the others, where are those others now huh! Where did they disappear? Your sister who gave you big promises, your niece whom you loved more than me, who didn't even care about her own child! They betrayed you, didn't they?" Irtaza bitterly spats out, trying to control his tears.

Hussain's only sister Farzana, emotionally blackmailed him into getting Irtaza and her daughter married, when in reality she only wanted to destroy their home, their happiness and their unbreakable bond.

And Hussain being blind in his sisters love, got them forcefully married, separating him from his lover and to this day, he regrets spoiling his son's life with his own hands.

"How many times should I apologize to you Irtaza, I am sorry." Hussain feebly tells him. Hurt at his son's behavior.

"Why you did this father? Was your sister's happiness more than your son's for you? Even I have a sister, but just for her happiness, I can't destroy anyone's life! And you, you destroyed the life of 3 people's father! Ibrahim is living without his mother for so many years only because of you, and what happened with Mushk, that too...." Irtaza sadly trails off, shaking his head.

Hussain guiltily looks down, reminiscing the days when his own sister betrayed him, just because he didn't let her marry a criminal and to this day the truth is hidden from Farzana, that the man she liked was a criminal and was only with her for her property and money. "Enough Irtaza, he is your father. For how many more days will you not apologize to your father, it's been 2 years!" Yasmin tiredly asks him.

"What do you think mom? That I didn't forgive him? How can I not? He is my father, but I can never forget the day he snatched my love from me." Irtaza whispers to her mother.0000
