It had been a week since Abraham and Minahil talked. Both of them were avoiding each other. One evening Minahil could not resist anymore and went to Abraham's house saying she wanted to meet Liam. She was escorted inside, Liam had gone to the park, she sat there waiting for him when she saw Abraham entering the hall. He was slurring with every step. She hurriedly got up to support him but he pushed her back. "I don't need anyone-" he said, stammering, in an angry voice. His breath smelled like alcohol. "You drank?" She was shocked at this discovery. She had stepped back when he had pushed her but when she realized he was drunk she couldn't help but worry for him. "That's not your fucking business," he yelled, while trying to support his own body, not being able to, he fell down on the ground and groaned loudly. Minahil was u

"And why is that?" "Because he is a drug addict," she said with an air of pride. She didn't want to talk about Abraham that way but his father was infuriating her with each passing second. "And you leave your boyfriend, whom you had claimed to love, just because he fell for drugs," his voice was poisonous to her ears. "And you left your kids far away letting them drown in self pity and misery to end up in drugs. Tch," she hadn't learned to lose yet whether it was to Abraham's father. And she couldn't believe she had told Abraham that his father was nice. Before Aban Chaudhary could retort back they were interrupted by a beautiful woman entering the room. She looked a lot like Abraham with green eyes. Liam didn't even matched her in appearance. She concluded Liam was not Mr. And Mrs. Chaudhary's son. "Hello!" The woman greeted with a subtle smile.

13. Selcouth Night (I)  _________ "The event had been great," the event manager said to Minahil and Yara.  They danced at the opening of a new gym. This was how they earned money and also from youtube.  Minahil was wearing a gym outfit and a duffel bag was hanging around her waist. Yara was wearing the same.  "Yeah. That went great," both of them agreed.  "Aren't you coming?" Minahil asked when she noticed Yara was not following her outside for they had come together. "Nah," Yara shook her head, Minahil looked at her with narrowed eyes. It was almost midnight and Yara was not going back home.  "Why?" She asked.  "I'm going to Rafia's place," Yara said. Rafia was her elder sister who was married.  "I can drop you there,"

He was sitting in his car, with the window glass rolled down and looked at the three of them.    Waniya looked at him heatedly, "It's not sudden, Dad. This rebellion has been brewing inside us since many years."    Aban did not reply to her.    "I heard things about you two," he said as an afterthought.    "You can hear as much you want but you have lost every right to reprimand us." Replied Waniya.    "Don't forget, who you are talking to," Aban snapped.    "For fuck's sake, Dad. Let us live in peace." Waniya yelled even louder than him.    "Don't create a

 Abscond. (n.) To secretly depart and hide oneself Abraham was still staying at Kabir's house. He was lying awake in the bed when Kabir barged inside the guestroom.  "Get up, tiger." Kabir said too enthusiastically for Abraham's liking.  He splashed himself on Abraham's legs and groaned because Abraham had hit him with his knee before he could fall down on the bed.  "Bastard," Kabir sworn flinching with pain.  "Get your fucking ass up and go to the airport. You have a flight in three hours." Kabir told him.  Abraham's eyes widened at this news.  He immediately sat up. "What do you mean?" He questioned whilst suspiciously looking at Kabir's smiling face.  Kabir waved ticket in front of his eyes.  "Here."
