We both got up quickly , the voices were becoming louder and louder and suddenly it all ended with a thump sound .I opened the gate and saw blood all over the enormous hall .He was taking his last breaths ,split lipped ,blood was oozing out from his forehead ,his eyes were getting blurry with each passing second , and a faint tear dropped from his eye wetting his cheek and landed on the ground and he closed his eyes for forever.
Everyone was too shocked to even say a word .Aunt Sitara collapsed on floor .His father grabbed his head in remorse ,every women present there covered their mouths with their dupatta ,trying to comprehend what really happened . . .
A few hours ago
Sitara annum returned after showing everyone the gifts she brought with her .She sat besides heavily dressed Mahnoor ,her Lehenga was so heavy that she can barely hold it up ,the choker necklace felt to heavy to even breathe . If only Sitara annum could take off her dupatta , she could see the frustration and anger on her face .
''Anam! Let's start the rituals then ,Tell Zurain to bring the marriage certificate ,so that she can sign on it ''She said to a living corpse in front of her
Anam blinked and tried to say something but all she was able to speak was gibberish ,She panicked and looked left and right and called Selma over and over again ''Where is she ,Its her wedding today ,where is she ,someone please call her''
''Ma! Its Mahnoor wedding today ''
Anam bit her lip and looked innocently towards Asma ,She was staring at her with big round eyes and asked ''Who are you and who is this Mahnoor?''
Her heart shattered into pieces ,when her mother denies to recognize her ,the heavy doses of medication took a toll on her and now she barely recognize any face .
Sitara glanced at her back to look if all were present .
''Where is Suraya ?'' She asked
''she has gone''
She looked up to see Rina standing by the door ,arms crossed .
''Where?''
''In a funeral '' She smirked .
Sitara rolled her eyes and ignored the arrogant girl. She got irritated with all this drama and left to call Zurain from the other room .After a few minutes Zurain came with marriage documents and handed it over to Sitara , taking one last glance at Mahnoor but before she could sign it
Suraya snatched the paper from her hands and ripped into two pieces.
''What the hell did you just did Suraya'' Sitara raised her hand on her but before she could slap her ,Suraya pushed her and she fell backward hitting her head on the wall .
''And the funeral starts'' Rina said calmly sipping her lemonade
The women present there stood up to help Sitara ,Surraya raised her hand indicating them to stop. ''Before you all jump on me for hitting this not so innocent woman ,let me tell you all a truth ,This woman here have hidden a truth that his pitiful son does not only have an itty bitty willy but also that he was Impotent .
''What's Impotent?'' Melba asked her mother to which Mariam answered with a shut up.
''Dear Melba ,your mother might not tell you because of shame but let me tell you daughter ,Impotent was a word for those useless man ,who bears useless seeds---------
''Suraya which seed are you talking about ,when the plant isn't even up yet '' women at the back laughed off
''haha true '' She too joins them and the whole hall erupted into laughter ,Mahnoor removes the headgear and dupatta from her head and throws the choker near Sitara's feet ''I won't marry your useless son ,who can't even satisfy me ,go take your things with you and trap another goat as a bait . And she left wiggling her hips .
''You . . .Thief ,If I lied ,than you are no less than me ,you stole your niece bangles and later accused her ,You killed her. . .You___-
her sentence was cut short as Mariam throws water on her face ,she was caught off guard and water entered her nostrils so she started coughing endlessly .'''You have no right to dishonor a pride woman ,first you came in front of us saying , the bangles were with you the whole time and now just to save your ass ,you are accusing her .Shame on you !''
''Yes ! Yes ''
'Shame on her ' .------Shame on her ! - All the woman started cursing her endlessly.
''Stop . . . Just Stop ! ''Sitara yelled covering her ears with her hands.
Voices were getting louder in the hall room ,Mansoor felt something bad happening ,He got up and walked towards the hall room ,Mustafa tried to stop him saying that he will regret going there but he didn't listened .He opened the door to find his scared mother in a corner ,with her hands covering her ears and shouting everyone to stop. He rushed towards his mother and tried to calm her down.
''What had happened here ?'' He asked in his alpha male voice but no one answered .''I asked what happened here ?'' He roared
''Don't shout ,you Impotent '' Melba called out but her mother quickly hid her back.
His face paled and slowly he dropped his eyes to look at the ground .
'' Why there is so much noise here ??''Yasir came and all the women hid their faces with their dupatta. Yasir's wife hesitantly walked towards him and whispered in his ear .His eyes grew wide listening to her .He cleared his throat and asked Mansoor
''Is this true young man?'' He lowered his head in embarrassment and that was when he got his answer.
''Rayeen's wife ,you shouldn't hide such things from us ,afterall we all are family here ''He said referring to Sitara .''Anyway! I think I should talk to Timur first ,his decision will be final and later we can tell Mustafa'' He left announcing his decision.
Timur suggested to call off the wedding and demanded 20k from groom side for defaming Mustafa's reputation ,to which Mustafa replied that 20k would be too much for them ,we should reduce it to 10k. yet everyone agreed .Even Asar being the brother in law of Rayeen didn't protest.
Mansoor father Rayeen was called to compensate for the loss ,The poor man gave his wife's gold necklace as a payment .Mansoor came and took the necklace back from Timur's hand ''What do you think ,you are huh! God ,that everyone will blindly follow you ,if you don't want this wedding ,I am calling it off but no need of blackmailing us and asking ransom'' He glared
''Your choice! but don't come running to me ,when people will slam their door on your face'' Timur said coolly
''think of it again son ,no one will marry their daughter to you and your beautiful EX will soon leave you too''
