Chapter 77
The commotion over the engagement ceremony was going on in the mansion. But both the groom and bride were silent.
The commotion came to an end when walking walking-dead figure of Ayzel appeared in the hall. It made everyone rise from their sitting position. Behind Ayzel, Osama was also coming with heavy footsteps. But the color on Ayzel's face was much scarier.
Zain stood in front of the Ayzel.
"Ayzel..where were you? Are you fine?" His voice was shaking. He tried to cup her face, but his end remained lower because of the look she was giving him. Her eyes were filled with pain and anger. Her dried tears appeared to be tears of blood to him. For the first time, Zain felt fear from Ayzel.
The Deadly Silence in the mansion was broken by The broken voice of Ayzel.
"Congratulations Mr. Zain Skinder, you have achieved the final victory of your lethal web of revenge," Ayzel said sarcastically.
"Ayz..Ayzel what.." gibberish was coming out of his mouth.
"You wanted me to feel the pain of child separation. So, here I felt it today. Today my daughter disowned me. She called me stepmother." A lone tear came out of her eye and she painfully gave a smile telling her misery. She painfully sobbed.
"Ayzel.I not.." Zain was still stuttering.
"WHAT AYZEL? HUH? WHAT AYZEL?" she gripped his collar.
"You wanted Sameer and I to feel that pain. But unfortunately, he is not here to feel that pain. I can't even wish that pain for my worst enemy." Ayzel was yelling in anger.
"I begged you...don't force me into this marriage. But you did. You subjected me to your lust and Sameer used me for his ambition to destroy you. You both ruined me. One for his lust and one for his revenge." She was hitting his chest. He was silently taking forc3 of her light fist. Her voice was getting heavy with tears. "Because of both vicious men, my children are suffering."
Then she verbally attacked Shazeal. "And you! What kind of women are you? Huh? I was telling you to confirm whether your future husband is divorced or not. But no! You mad women. Look at me. I am his ominous wife. What kind of woman you are? How can you marry a man who is still in a marriage with her first wife? How can you marry without having any confirmation? Look at me, I am still suffering here." Ayzel yelled and pointed at herself.
"Of course, you are a daughter. Your parents want to get rid of you. Like mine." Ayzel gave a broken laugh like a psycho person. Indeed she went mad.
"Bhai, just kick out This cheap and mad woman right out! Are not you seeing his nonsense? How dare she bark like that! And that too for that garbage stray girl!" Warda vomit out the poison bubbling inside her.
"You just shut up, Warda skinder. I will cut your tongue if I ever hear any **** from your ugly mouth against my daughter." The way Ayzel screamed at her, Warda got scared for a moment.
"I have never cursed anyone before. But I curse you, Warda Skinder. May Allah also let you suffer at the hands of blood ones and beloved." There was a power in Ayzel's words.
After venting out her emotions she went upstairs.
"Dadi, Bhai did you listen to what she was saying? She ruined the function." Warda was drawing their attention. But no one bothered to reply to her.
Shazeal raised her both arms in the air. She was coming out of the trauma of the scene.
"This family is more psycho than I thought. I am done. I can't be a part of that cluster show anymore. Come on Dad, Mom. Let's get out of here." Shazeal words surprised Aliya Khanum and her mother. Their eyes widened.
"Shazeal... what's wrong with you? Let us talk to Aliya Khanum and Zain. It's your engagement. Not a joke." Shazeal's mother yelled a whisper at her.
"Dad, I am in the car. Bring mom out." She gave a tight-lip look to them. "Goodbye Skidners!" She held her dress and went out.
"Akbar...what.she" Her mother was trying to negotiate and understand the situation but Shazeal's father did not let her.
"Hon, come on. Let's go. I will explain to you in the car." He gripped his wife by the shoulders and took her out.
Now there was a deadly silence prevailing in the skinder mansion.
"How much more is left to see for us, Zain Skinder?" Zikria broke the silence. Now he was standing in front of Zain whose every drop of blood was drowned in guilt.
"For many years to this date, we are bearing the consequences of your vile action. Her weakness and your audacity brought that day into our lives. And the most killing fact is that the two innocent children are seeing this. Their childhood is being traumatized." His eyes filled with tears.
"Today she has cursed Warda. Who knows, she might have cursed us all. And the most fearful thing in this plant is the curse of a mother who is in pain. Be afraid of it." Zikria's face got red.
He left with Burhan to see Farheen. His heart was in great pain after knowing her condition. He could not restrain himself to see her.
Ayzel was crying without a break.
"Ayzel...bs na... don't cry yaar. Everything would be fine." Jojo was trying hard to make her stop.
"Ayzel... it's very late right now. It's a sleep time." Jojo persuaded her.
Ayzel gave a deadly look to her.
"Why don't you just say that your precious sleep is being destroyed by me crying and voice? No one can understand my pain. It's my daughter who has disowned me." Ayzel fought her.
"Ayzellll... I did not mean it!" Jojo wanted to bang her head.
"I am leaving right now. I am bothering you all Na!" Ayzel picked up the pillow and a sheet. She marched to her previous cage-like room which was burnt.
She was sleeping on the burnt floor. Even in sleep, she was crying. In the middle of the night, Zain went to her. He crouched down to her level. He covered her with a blanket.
He creased her face. The dried stains of tears were evident on her face.
"I promise before the next day, your daughter..." he pressed his lips and closed his eyes. " I mean our daughter will be here in the next 24 hours. I promise." He kissed her face.
