13. His mom

Saniya :

I didn't move a bit, constantly looking at the broken snow globe.

" What is this ? " His dadi questioned. As Afzal nodded at Raziya ji , she held his dadi's hand and followed her room.

Afzal and Imran stepped inside the room where things are broken and shattered throughout the room.

" Bhabhi what happened to you ? " Afzal's voice echoed in the silenced room.

" He is killing people and you people keep supporting him. How can you take one's life " I yelled.

" Bhabhi, you don't know the truth behind killing people " he again spoke and Imran just kept staring at me and the broken snow globe.

" Enough Afzal. I thought you were gentlemen but I am wrong. You and your brother are alike. He is a monster and kills people and you people uplift him. " I yelled at him.

" Bhabhi, why did you break this snow globe " he asked.

" It is afterall a snow globe, he broke my heart marrying me and keeping me away from my parents also he snatched every happiness of mine. He deserves it." I uttered in a stern tone.

" Bhabhi " he uttered in agony.

This was the first time I witnessed Afzal's agony mixed with rage. I thought he was my brother, but he is not. He is like his brother.

" Afzal " Imran yelled at him.

" Go and check on Farhan " he said and soon Afzal left the room.

" Now you are going to lecture me about his character " I sighed at him.

" No Saniya, but I will tell you the truth " he said.

" Farhan's mother was dead " he stated. I gave him a shocking look.

" Yes you heard right. His mother was dead and the fact is Farhan's father killed his mother " he stated.

" What !!! " I asked him.

" When Farhan was 9 years old, his father killed his mother in front of his eyes." He paused and his gaze fixed on me.

" Farhan's mother Zainab Malik. She was very kind hearted. She was generous to everyone. While his father Akram Malik was so cruel towards people. He is a underground Mafia Don. Each and every decision is made by him, he had no mercy on people who crosses his decisions. He never loved Zubeda aunty, he just married her because she was very rich and moneyed. " he paused and turned his eyes towards window.

" He always acted like he cared for her. But the truth is he cares about people, but only cares about Money. He is an egoistic man , I have never seen a man like him in my life. He also evolve friendship with his enemies if they give money. Zainab aunty was never delighted with her husband's behaviour." he suppressed

" Then why don't she leave him " I asked.

" Because of Farhan, she never wanted her son grow up without his father and she thought she can switch his cruel behaviour as well mannered man, she constantly kept trying to change her husband's behaviour but she failed her every attempts " Imran uttered.

I felt sorry for Zainab aunty. She was so strong woman. My thoughts broke when Imran continued.

" However someday Akram Malik's rivals asked him for land and unfortunately that land was owned by Zainab aunty. Akram Mailk never asks people anything, he snatches whatever he needed. When he asked about the land Zainab aunty instantly refused his idea on registering the land in his name because she wanted to give it to an orphanage organisation. Akram Malik constantly kept asking her about land but her refusal created rage in him, which lead him to kill her infront of his " he said bitterly.

" She was great women I have ever known " I said.

" Zainab aunty's death brought health issues to Farhan, he seems good but he is struggling so much inside and he never let anyone know about his health condition. Even Afzal has no clue about Farhan's anxiety. Soon after Zubeda aunty's death his father sent him to London to study. He hates his father, but his father wanted him as the next Don to rule the kingdom which he built " He said.

" If he hates his father, then why did he choose the mafia " I questioned him.

" Because he had no choice left. If he dares to argue with his father's choice. Akram Malik will kill Afzal " he stated which left me stunned.

" What. How can he kill his own son " I asked .

" Because Afzal is not his own child, Zubeda aunty adopted Afzal as her son, Akram always hated Afzal. Because of which Farhan hated his father even more and he sent him to London. " His utterance left me in shock.

I felt sorry for Farhan.

" Farhan was never a beast Saniya, people treats him like a beast because of his father. Because of which he behaves like cold hearted. He loves you so much Saniya, he thought only you will change his miserable beast life into a colorful life " he uttered.

" And by the way the people we killed today, they were not good men. They abduct the young girls and sell to brothels " he sentenced.

He turned away and about to stepped outside the room, and stopped near the broken snow globe.

" This was his last present given by his mother. He loved it more than anything else and you just not only break this , you broke his mother's memories " he paused and looked at me.

" I am not saying you to accept this marriage but atleast don't make him regret marrying you. You mean everything to him and he was never serious about anything until it comes to you. He loves you so much Saniya but he doesn't know the exact way. I hope you understand, take care Saniya " he turned and stepped away.

I looked at the broken snow globe. I feel sorry for Mr.Malik . I think, I have punished him more than he deserves. I took the broken pieces and suddenly one of the glass pieces stucked in my finger , I hissed in pain.

" I don't want to destroy his mother's memory " I whispered.

However I cleaned the whole mess in the room, took the broken pieces and settled on the table to fix it....

I took a bandage and wrapped it around my index finger. I kept gazing at door wishes he will return but he haven't returned. I looked at, mother hugging her son doll. It is so cute. I kept fixing the snow globe all night and fell asleep on the table.

I felt like someone standing beside me and when I opened my eyes I saw him beside me... I have no idea what to say after all this happened.

" Since you are on your periods I thought this will help you " He passed me a pack of chocolates, and I forwarded my hand to take chocolates and his gaze fixed on my hurted finger.

" What happened to you? " He asked holding my hand.

" Nothing " I paused and pulled away my hand from his.

" Here " I passed the snow globe which I glued. He looked at it surprisingly. I added some glitter in it and painted it lightly.

" I know, it will never look like before. But maybe it will---- " but he cut me off

" You don't have to do all this Saniya " he said.

" I have no idea what this means to you " I said.

" That's okay Saniya " he said and placed it on table.

" Dadi wants to see you "he said and left the room.

I got freshed up and took steps towards his dadi's room.

" Dadi " I called her and soon her gaze fixed on me.

" Come Saniya " and I settled beside her.

" Raziya said everything to me. Whatever Farhan did with you was wrong. But please give him a chance to fix this atleast. I am sure he will be best partner." She said caressing my cheek.

" Saniya " his voice echoed in room, I turned to him.

I don't know why but I feel something strange when he addresses me with my name. Probably I used Mrs.Malik than addressing my name.
