Atifa's pov:
"Saad!" His dad exclaimed, sounding worried. Looking up at him, I noticed for the first time how he looked. And it was safe to say that he looked almost like his father. There were just some differences, like the colour of their eyes and maybe the shape of their lips. I noticed him staring back at me, and surprisingly, his gaze held no grudge or judgement like other's gaze. In fact, they had a soft and gentle look in them, like he… like he knew? He didn't take any step towards us, and I still wonder why. Feeling uncomfortable, I quickly looked away, trying to wipe my tears. But it was all in vain.
"Now you are hurting yourself!" Bhabi chided, frustrated. She was standing behind me with bhai.
"Are you alright?" From my peripheral vision, I could see bhai taking a step towards us before standing back at his place. What was up with people and not coming forward today? I had wondered.
