21 August 1991

Vasim Khan POV

" Abbu humein aapse zaroori baat karni hai !!(father i have a important thing to discuss with you)"

"Abhi nahin Vasim hum bahut zaroori masle pe gaur farma rahe hain ! Tomorow is launch of our new hotel in Dubai and i am not yet prepared moreover i have a flight to catch by midnight .( Not now vasim i am busy in important work )"

" Abbu since last couple of days Sameer seems lost !! He is not even eating properly . Sending him to school having majority of Hindus has made him silent !!"

To it there father Aslam gives a bored expression and says

"I can't send him to boarding with you Vasim . Your mother will kill me . Call him and let me ask what is troubling him ."

" Sameer yahan aayein aap !! Abbu bula rahein hai aap ko ( Sameer come here ! Father is calling you )"

Third person's POV

Sameer stood silently in front of his father who was looking at him up and down . Under Mr . Aslam's stern and intimidating glare little Sameer broke down in hysterical sobs and would have fainted had his brother not supported him and brought their father out of his trance and he hugged his son and patted his head lovingly and as if just on cue Sameer's mother entered the living room loaded with shopping bags excitedly but she too got transfixed at her spot because of the state her son was in . She took him in her arms and asked him the reason of his state . The child didn't knew what to say to his mother and continued crying . Under constant assurance and loving looks of his parents and elder brother he said to them

" Abbu nayi ammi laa rahein hain . Ab humse mahobaat nahin karte abbu !!( Father is bringing step mother . He does not love us anymore )"

All were shocked is a smaller word to explain the state they all were in . His mother looked at his father with teary eyes and said

" Aap dusra nikkah kar rahein hain aur humein bataya bhi nahin . ( you are marrying second time and you didn't told me )"

And in a daze Sameer's mother started to walk away leaving the three behind towards the kitchen to hide and cry her heart out over the betrayal of the one who has her heart in his feet to crush it brutally

" Come back here now jaan !!"

Sameer's father shouted which made her cower and come back to the living room . He next shifted his focus to his son who was now terrified of him and asked him

" Who told you that i am bringing a new mother for you ??"

While patting his head lovingly .

A terrified Sameer hiccuped and replied

" Rajiv !!"

Sameer's father asked him patiently again

" Who is Rajiv can you tell me ?"

" He studies in my class !"

All were again shocked is understatement infact they broke into giggles and his mother wiping her tears asked him

" Ammi ki jaan Rajiv ko kaise pata ki aapke abbu nayi ammi laa rahein hain ?"

To it Sameer narrated all what happened in his class seven days back and all were amused at the bipolar attitude of the girl Sameer used to tell , hates him which he don't know the reason of and now the same girl is fighting for him .

His brother teased him and asked him

"Usey tujhse mahobaat to nahin ho gayi hai chote jo woh tere liye ladh gayi? ( has she fallen in love with you lil brother because of which she initiated a fight for you? )"
