SIXTY

AYSHAM’S POV:

Violence is the thing where along with bloodshed humanity also dies. The only thing that could keep peace in the world is humanity if that dies than there would no peace in anyone’s lives who actually years for peace. I am one of them as taking a sigh I mumbled at dad who was still awake when I entered the mansion and saw the bombarding on a Christian hospital in Gaza. I don’t how could it be stopped and when the people behind this feel ashamed of what they were doing to children. Children and woman are the ones who are affected miserably in wars.

“You guys enjoyed?” Dad asked as he looked behind me to find his son but I just smiled and came to sit beside him while he changed the channel and turned to sports because of me I guess because he was in mafia once so he wouldn’t get much affected by the news.

“Yes. We had fun. Muzamil and Zaroon bhai teased Farzan a lot today.” I informed giggling as I didn’t want him to just stay in his room and sulk in there as it’s been years. I knew moving on was difficult but no one was asking them to forget her but he had to just come back to his usual life just like before despite being the pain of her gone in his heart.

“I missed his face then.” He tsked his tongue making me narrowed my eyes at him.

“You like when he is bothered.” I said looking offended as a wife should when someone backbite her husband.

“I like when he acts like a child and gets easily teased. We used to tease him when he was little. He was our only child. I teased him and then his mother used to caress him. He is still a child by the way.” Dad said at the end making fun of him a little.

“Yeah, he throws tantrums like one.” I couldn’t help but agree.

“Exactly. If we will say eat pizza so he would go for burger. If we would say drive car he would go for a bike.” Dad as he sounded like a traditional father who had a spoiled son.

“Well. I can try to ask him to eat pizza and drive car.” I said and he knew what I meant by that.

“I believe you can.” Dad passed me a fatherly smile as he suddenly felt so old juts because of his sulking self or otherwise he was so charming at this stage of his life that any woman could throw herself at him not because of the money but just because of his charming personality.

“What do you want me to do?” I asked as his eyes lingered at the screen for a few seconds.

“I just want him to be normal. I know my father didn’t leave a chance for him to be normal but still he can try to be normal while staying in the mafia. I know he doesn’t do anything besides rules and that’s a good thing which didn’t come from my father because he used to kill people the way he pleases. If my son does work keeping everything in rules then he could get a normal life too.” Dad trailed off as it was evident, he wasn’t a fan of his father and Farzan’s grandfather who apparently made him the monster he was at that time.

“Everyone should play a role in his life to make it normal.” I said as I glanced at Ronaldo making a goal and the whole stadium was now cheering wildly.

“Everyone can but no one can ever change a person unless he wants that himself. We all can talk to him but he won’t do that unless he would find that necessary and I think he would find that necessary now because he has someone very important in his life now whose safety is far more important than anything in this world for him.” Dad smirked at the end as his eyes gleamed.

“Who?” I asked a little enthusiastically.

“You can ask yourself.” Dad smiled a little as patted my head while mumbling a good night to me leaving me alone there to start overthinking which is hazardous to my health but I still do that.

With different thoughts in my mind, I moved towards my room. I tried to open the door of my room but it didn’t and that alarmed all of the fibers in my body. Somethings absurd but the curiosity didn’t last long when I glanced at the sticky note sticked to the vase on the table placed just beside my door.

“All of your things are moved in your actual room.

From Suzi

To The Wife.”

My jaw felt open as it almost touched the floor when I realized what she did. Standing there and looking at the sticky note in my hand I turned around and glanced at his door. He wasn’t home but he would be home soon and seeing me in his room could spark the unwanted nerve in his brain that had only one purpose and that was to turn beasty on me.

“The one thing I am grateful for now is my only wife.”

His words rang in my mind as apparently, I am his wife so he that made me the only thing he was grateful for at that time so I could get in his room.

“Just go in already.” My conscience yelled inside me annoyed by my overthinking state as I took a deep breath while taking my steps.

FARZAN’S POV:

“Any update?” I said as Imran entered the conference room where I had all my men that didn’t belong to my business but my mafia. I was leading two lives at a time.

“They are silent and that’s absurd.” Imran informed as he came to sit beside me while I was standing with my sleeves folded till my elbows and my hairs were disheveled for frustratingly running fingers in my hairs. This time the enemy made me do this as it seemed he was planning for years to start this war with me where I didn’t even know the actual face of my enemy. But he is fighting with me and still alive that meant he was close to me and keeping an eye on me. I had a hunch there was a traitor here close to me but all if men are under the debt of my kindness which I showed just by helping them in their worst and earned their loyalty with that. If I am here at this position in the mafia world then it was all because of their loyalty with me for which I worked hard.

“They are silent but that doesn’t mean they aren’t doing anything.” I said as now without any clue everything was pissing me off because it’s been months and we had almost made them broke by burning there one of the most important warehouses in the rainforest. There wasn’t a single chance that they would accept the defeat after making my life miserable for years. At first, they were slow and doing things while hiding but these days they were unrepentantly confident of what they were doing as if they had found my weakness which I didn’t have few months ago. If they have then they should be ready for the consequences because I wasn’t like my dad who just gave up everything when he saw my mother dying in his arms.

He made himself weak. He should have a backup plan for saving his family but he didn’t have as he was a coward who didn’t step up to avenge his wife’s death. I wouldn’t let other to lay an eye on my wife as avenging her death didn’t stand a chance because I would never let that happen. I would make myself double strong so that my enemies would know not to think about eyeing my wife.

Majority of them wouldn’t stand a chance because when I avenge my mother’s death, I killed every person in that mafia household in front of my father’s enemy so he could know the pain for which we were going through even at this stage of life. I kept him alive and made him watch the video of his wife and children dying because of the pain. In the war, women and children suffered most because they were the most innocent and he should keep that in mind before starting a war with us and killing my mother and shooting me in the chest in front of my father as when he was about to shot my father my grandfather came but it was too late for my mother. Everything happened in my mansion as we had renovated that but still, I smell the blood of my mother staining the white carpet of our lounge. He suffered from the same pain unless he killed himself with his own hands and died the way he I wanted him to be. I had done terrible things in my life and killing someone’s wife and children was one of them as I would never get past this but how my grandfather taught me this was the right thing to do at time.

Deep down I knew my mother would never forgive for what I did. She was quite opposite for the rest of my family and that’s why my father had to cut ties with my grandfather. My grandfather liked chaos while my mother yearned for peace. She used to do volunteer work for children and homeless women and I did the things which were just decreasing her points which she made in this world for her hereafter.

‘What does he want?” One of men asked.

“Maybe he wants to take boss’s position.” The other one explained as evert one of them were concerned at that time.

“I don’t think so or otherwise he would have shown his face.” Imran said as I also agreed with him.

“You are dismissed.” I said as like every other meeting we didn’t even take a tiny step towards knowing what this new enemy of ours actually want.

Staying few more hours in the office completing the paper work I headed towards my mansion as before I used to spend nights in my office but how could anything remain same when I had a wife at home.

F**k! Calling him wife again and again refreshes my mood.

A smile erupted my lips as eagerly I stormed towards my wing where her room was just opposite to mine. I turned the knob of her room only to get disappointed. She locked the room. Why would she do that?

Glaring at the door as she couldn’t locked doors on my face when I was so eager to get home. I turned towards my room while calling Suzi to wake up and bring me the spare keys of the room but my hands halted in their movements when I saw the soft figure breathing soundlessly while lying on the bed.

F**k! Now I had many things to be grateful for.
