Severance Of Ties

Chapter 25

Chapter Twenty Five

He didn't knew what he felt, but he was more worried thinking that Mushk will leave him once she gets

to know the truth, he needed an assurance that she'll always be with him and what could be the best

thing to use, he used his very own friend's children ,as a bait to keep her tied to him.

It was somewhere near 3 am when he followed Mushk in a deep sleep.

A week passed by, Mushk was noticing some change in Zohan's behavior. He started zoning many

times, and wasn't as talkative as before. She tried numerous times asking what's wrong, he just shook

his head and tightly smiled at her, telling its something about work.

His behavior made Mushk scared, she wasn't getting any good vibes, she thought that he was starting

to get frustrated by kids presence, so she always kept Mujtaba and Murtaza hidden from his eyes,

which didn't go unnoticed by Zohan.

This was the first mistake she made, her actions made him think that she is trying to get away from

him. The truth was eating him from inside, and he started hearing some voices in his mind.

He dismissed it thinking it as a sign of stress. He was actually turning into a psychotic person due to

the voices without him realizing it.

Sighing tiredly, he falls back on bed, when Mushk enters with a glass of water, giving it to, she sits

beside him. Keeping the glass aside, she turns towards him indicating, she wants to talk.

"Actually..I..I was thinking to go to aunt’s house tomorrow, she is missing Murtuza and Mujtaba, and we Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

all have planned to go. ..." She was excitedly saying everything when he interrupted her.

"No! you won't be going anywhere." Zohan sternly tells her.

Mushk was shocked at his tone, he never ever raised his voice at her.

"Wha...why?" Mushk loudly asks him, upset over his tone.

"I won't repeat it, no means no. Sit at home and take care of the kids." Zohan harshly tells her, and gets

up, but stops hearing her next words.

"What a sexist thing to say!" Mushk replies to him in the same tone.

She wasn't the one of those who give up easily, men and women aren't equal and that's right, because

a woman’s position is higher than men in Islam.

She reminisces her mothers words, where she politely used to say about the equality of men and

women, these days, school study is mostly spoiling kid's brains, one such example is the topic of

equality.

"Child, always remember, never keep quiet when someone is suppressing your rights as a woman. A

woman’s position is always higher than men’s and only a few men can understand this. Some men

have ego problems, it is hard to understand them but this doesn't mean you will always fight with your

husband." She remembers her mothers words and her laugh when she said this, especially the last

line.
