Chapter 65

The preparations for the baby shower were at the peak in the mansion. Burhan was ahead of all in activities.

They even printed special invitation cards for guests.

Zain was getting romantic with her wife. He softly pulled her towards him and wanted to hug her but the baby bump reminded him to go easy.

"Already coming between us." He said to Ayzel's belly with the scrunched nose.

"Zain!" She giggled.

"Look you, mister, she is mine first. Don't try to steal her from me. You have already troubled her all these months." He scolded the innocent baby and lightly patted the bump like he was softly beating his baby.

Ayzel slapped away his hand. "Zain, I will tell this to grandmother. She will break your hand. Don't touch my innocent baby." She creased her belly. She was cooing her baby.

"Yeah yeah, your baby. Let my daughters come too." Zain made a face.

After knowing they were having a baby boy, Zain already demanded at least two daughters from Ayzel.

"Oh come on, Zain you are getting jealous of your baby." she laughed.

Zain was going to meet Warda today. They have been in contact on the phone but have not met for many days. He was going to invite her to the baby shower. After all, she is the baby's aunt.

"Zain please talk nicely with her. Tell her that I was apologizing too. We both reacted very harshly on that day. If I was aware of her trauma, I would never have acted like that." Ayzel was ashamed of her behavior. She felt bad for Warda.

Zain decided to amend the ruined sibling relationship between them.

Ayzel was worried and concerned for her too. After knowing the truth, she understood the reason behind Warda's insecurities and accusations about her. Anyone in her place would do the same.

After it was Warda, who endured the mental torture and taunts of people. It was her mother who killed her father and made her an orphan.

For a child, his mother is of supreme importance, the center of his love.

But here, poor Warda can't express her love for her mother. If she can't curse her, she can't pray for her either.

She blames herself that if she was about to be born in the first place, her father would have never brought that vile, vicious, and evil woman into this house.

Zain and Ayzel bid goodbye to each other. "Take care of my wife. Don't trouble her." He again warned the innocent unborn baby. Ayzel just shook her head.

Poor she, going to be blended between son and father competition.

*********

The main Informed Warda about her brother's arrival. She came down after a few minutes.

"Well, well. How did my great-brother desire to visit her poor sister? Did your wife allow it?" She threw a tantrum.

"Well, my sister took my last words very seriously. So I have to come to bring her back." Zain knew how to handle her politely.

"I am just obeying your order. Have I ever disobeyed any of your orders? And how can I come to that house whose owner is now your wife." She answered back. Indisputably, she was always obedient to him, despite her arrogant behavior.

Zain stood up and sat close to her. He held her hand. "Warda, do you have any doubt in your brother's love? Have I ever let anything bad to you?" He asked for her testimony.

Indeed he never hurt her. Even the call he made in front of Ayzel, to replace Warda with her rival, was fake just to calm Ayzel's anger.

Later, he ordered the man to take Warda back.

Warda just bobbed her head.

"I have always prioritized your happiness. I am not asking for a payback. But for once, accept Ayzel for your brother's happiness." The emotion of begging was clear in his eyes.

"Please for once let that hatred go. Not every woman is the same. Look at me, a few months ago, I hated women and considered all the species, frauds and backstabbers. I promised never to marry. But look at me now, I am going to be a father." He softly chuckled.

For a moment, softness appeared in Warda's eyes too.

"Bhai, I'm just scared what If Ayzel betrays you? What if she is like her?" A wave of pain passed through her face.

"On one side you worry about me and on the other side you are forcing me to choose between you and the other woman I love too." He complained.

"You did not even respond to Burhan and my messages. We asked about you for the baby shower theme." He was hurt.

"Tomorrow is the function." He gave her the card. "Ayzel said that she won't celebrate it if you do not come. She was apologizing too. I would be glad if you would come. I won't force you. The rest is up to you." He said.

Then he stood up. Warda stood up with him too. On leaving, he hugged her and kissed her forehead.

"Your brother loves you." He said in a coarse voice.

Will she let down her grudge for once?

**********

Everything was ready. Azyel was wearing a light pistachio color dress. They have chosen a non-blue theme for the baby shower.

Now they were waiting for Warda, to begin the event. They were about to lose hope When she arrived.

For the first time in history, she let down her grudges.

They celebrate the event with full elation.

After the event, they were sitting inside to enjoy tea. They all were exhausted.

Ayzel asked Warad to stay here.

"Sorry, I don't want to be blamed if something happens to you. Even if you sneeze, bhai would blame me." She rejected her offer with cruelty.

Before Zain could say anything, Ayzel squeezed his hand.

"How can something happen to me? I know my baby's aunt will take care of me and my baby. Right baby?" She said with a smile and at the end asked her baby.

"I will see who will leave this house once the baby is born. You all will fly like flies over my baby." Aliya Khnaum said proudly, making everyone laugh.
