Chapter 59

Warda was keeping them waiting for her. They wanted to begin the celebration but there was no sign of her.

Ayzel was sitting beside Aliya on the sofa.

"Yaar...I am starving for the cake. Please, somebody, call her!" Burhan exasperated.

Then Madam Warda showed her sign.

"Hey, everyone. Sorry Bhai my shoot was just prolonged. Now tell me what's the big news? Which bigger deal you have just won this time?" she was feeling pride over the fact that this time Zain had conquered something again.

"Warad dear, outside the world of business of fame there are many other happiness too," Zikria said.

"Warda, my dear sister you are going to be aunt. I am going to be a father. Ayzel is pregnant." Zain declared openly the happy news.

Ayzel was looking at Warda with a smile. She was expecting her to cherish the news. Might she welcome Ayzel this time?

But Warda's excitement was replaced by frown and anger.

"What! This girl.." she pointed toward Ayzel, "is pregnant."

"Warda, this is not a manner to talk to your sister-in-law." Aliya did not like her tone.

"Oh, come on dadi. You should leave it." she backed her with a hand sign.

"And bhai what is wrong with you?" she said to Zain.

Then she turned to Ayzel, "Bravo, Ayzel, Bravo." Warda made humiliating claps.

"Just a few months passed to the wedding, and you already set a web to trap my brother. Teach me these tactics too. How fast do you do this? First, in rocket speed, you trapped my brother in marriage, and now this baby trap." Warda was insulting her.

"I am telling you all, this girl is repeating history," Warda warned the family.

Before someone could say a word, Ayzel slammed the knife on the table, which she was holding to cut the cake. She stormed upstairs with angry feet and tears.

This was the first time she ever reacted to Warda's tantrum.

"How inhuman you are Warda!" Burhan was frustrated.

"Warda, this child is not only Ayzel's but he is our blood and legacy. Instead of overjoying the news that your brother's legacy is going to rise, you insulted it." Aliya was hurt by her behavior.

"You didn't even respect the blood of your late father. How happy I was that Allah is returning my late son in the form of his grandchild but you..." Aliya's voice teared up.

"Warda Skinder get out of this house right NOW! And don't you dare to step here again until my baby is born. Because I don't want my wife to take any stress. UNDERSTOOD?" this was the first time Zain roared on her like a thunderstorm.

Nobody interfered or said a word. That meant they all agreed with his decision.

"Dadi, I am bringing Ayzel downstairs. And when we come down, she should vanish from here." Zain ordered and went upstairs to bring Ayzel downstairs.

"You all will regret this." saying the final words Warda stormed out of the mansion.

Ayzel was crying in the room, sitting on the bed. Zain's heart panged to see her like that. But her next words shattered his heart.

"if you also think that my baby is a trap, then I will leave right now. I was raised alone and I can raise my baby too." she was hiccupping.

He crouched down in front of her and grabbed her hands. "Did I say any heinous word like that?" he complained.

"Then why Zain? Why does she do this to me always? Marrying me was your decision. I did not ask you. Then why?" she spoke loudly.

"Today was the happiest day of my life. I wanted to make it memorable. Because now I also have gonna a family. Someone who has my blood. My blood family, who will never leave me. But she ruined this for me as well!" she sobbed.

"This is the last time she has done anything like this. She won't put a stop here again until the baby's birth. And even after the baby's birth if she does not restrain from her tantrums, then she has to forget me. Because if a person can't respect my wife and my child, then I have nothing to do with that person." Zain declared.

Ayzel was shocked by his intense decision.

"She will...hate...us more." Ayzel inquired with little concern.

"She asked this by herself. She forced me to draw this line." Zain creased her hair strand.

Then after washing her face, she applied the makeup. Zain told her to dress formally as they were going to celebrate big with family.

She came down with him. Nobody let it feel that Warda was even someone to them or came here.

She cut the cake and Burhan played baby songs in the audio system.

"Well, I have an important announcement to make." Aliya grabbed their attention.

"Either baby's parents like it or not, but I am going to shift and stay here until my baby is born. Ayzel I will supervise your rest and meals. I know the girls of today, they won't take care of them during pregnancy. And I won't tolerate any imprudence in this regard." Aliya declared her decision.

"Oh, baby's mama is in trouble." Burhan sang.

Ayzel gave him a warned look.

"This is the second-best news of the day," Ayzel said with joy. Indeed she was happy to have Aliya here with them.

The family was in a delightful environment.

************

In a far corner of the city, a black hoodie person was creasing the forehead of a sick middle-aged woman.

"Mother our day is coming. The seed of Skinders has been planted. When it becomes the bud, I will cut its roots. They will feel the pain, what you felt." the person promised to that sick woman.

An evil smile appeared on her face. She understood well what that person was saying.

They were waiting for this moment. They wanted to hurt skinders where it would burn them most.
