Severance Of Ties

Chapter 21

Chapter Twenty One

"We are going to hospital, to meet mom and dad!" Mushk fake cheerfully tells him who looks up at her,

his big brown eyes looking at her with lot of question.

"Why? You don't want to meet them?" Mushk softly asks him, still walking towards the car where Zohan

was waiting for them.

Upon her question, Mujtaba looks at her again and nods his head, his orbs shining with happiness and

excitement to meet his parents.

Mujtaba leaves her hand and runs towards the car into Zohan's arms who throws him in air his laughter

echoing before settling him in the back seat.

Mushk happily smiles at the scene in front of him, her heart was finally at peace. Secretly thanking

Allah for giving her this man,what she didn't knew that soon this gratefulness will turn into a complain.

Soon they reach the hospital and get down from the car. Mushk could hear her heartbeat, she was

scared. Scared to know about their condition whether they will improve or not, she was frightened of

the answer the doctor will give them on their health.

As if sensing her nervousness, Zohan holds her hand squeezing it lightly. She looks up at him, fear

present in her big green eyes. Zohan's eyes soften seeing her, he nods at her reassuringly, and takes

them inside.

Upon entering the couples room with the doctor trailing behind them, she looks at her brother who

didn't looked like her brother who was healthy buff and had a pretty tan complexion. No this wasn't him,

this was completely opposite to what she described just now.

Tears well up in her eyes seeing them in such condition, she tries to muffles the sobs breaking out by

palming her mouth, not wanting to cry in front of Mujtaba.

Mushk then looks around to see her sister in law next to her brother in a separate bed. Both were still

covered in bandages, oxygen mask present on their mouth.

For Mushk, it felt like an eternity. Stepping closer to them, she could hear their shallow breathes.

Moving towards her brother first, she takes a seat beside him ,holding his hand tightly.

"I miss you!" ,Mushk whispers to him, she just get a beeping sound as a reply. Wiping her tears she

turns her head to see Mujtaba standing with Zohan, she forwards her hand motioning him to come.

Mujtaba takes slow steps towards his father and holds her aunt’s hand for solace he keeps looking at

his father, not able to say a word.

"Aunt! They will be fine soon right? They will soon come with us right?" Mujtaba questions her aunt,

who nods her head at him whispering the god’s name.

Caressing her brothers auburn hair, she gets up and kisses his forehead and moves towards her sister

in law, narrating her how she got married to Zohan and how blessed she is to have him. Zohan smiles

at her blabbering and moves towards his friend.

"Get well soon buddy!" He softly tells him holding is hand.
