Irtaza was in his office. His brain was filled with a lot of assumptions as he continued to think about Zahra's confessions the night before. His brain didn't believe that she loved him, though his heart wanted to trust her words. He wanted her to love him but his mind wasn't accepting the fact that she was telling the truth making a chain of questions arise in his mind.

From the very start, his heart always had compelled him to trust her which he did but the change in her attitude, her nervousness, her confession that night that she loved him was making him more and more confused.

He was in a dilemma for the first time in his life. He was damn sure that Zahra was hiding something from him, his brain kept on forcing him not to trust her on the other hand, his heart, wanted him to trust her, believe her. He was in love with her but past experiences in his life enabled him to trust anyone.

He was confused about whether to trust Zahra or not because trust is the base of every relationship.

It takes seconds to break someone's trust and centuries to build it again.

This was his view. He never had trusted anyone and there was a big reason for it. His mind flashed back as his brain recalled memories of his past.

Flashback

"Irtaza wake up." Seven years old Shehryaar shook his elder brother in sleep, waking him up from deep slumber. The sky was dark and the haveli was silent.

"What is it?" The nine-year-old boy asked in his croaky heavy voice.

"Irtaza I want water. Please can you come with me to the kitchen so I can get some water? " He told.

"Can't you go alone?"

"I'm afraid. It's dark all around and there is no one at haveli other than Dada, Dadi, and mama." He blinked several times, making a puppy face knowing very well that his brother won't deny him now.

"Ughh.... come on now," Irtaza said and got up from the bed and they both went to the kitchen.

After getting the bottle from the fridge, they both were on their way back to the room when they heard some voices coming from their parent's room. Both of them got startled and decided to follow behind the voices.

On reaching, the room's door, Irtaza slightly turned the knob and without making much sound pushed the door opened and the scene in front of him left his mouth hanging. Shahryar pushed aside him a little and made entry into the room and the whole scene in front of him got imprinted into his mind forever.

Their mother lay on the bed, naked and another man clinging to her body as they continued to fuck each other. The whole room resonated with her throaty moans and his satisfactory grunts.

Her lips were pasted on his and her legs around his torso, her eyes closed as if she was enjoying every bit of it. Both of their skin slapped each other as that man pounded on her.

Her sparkling grey eyes opened on feeling someone's presence and widened the very next second, both her sons stood by the door watching her sinful acts. She panicked and immediately pushed the man aside before wearing a robe and getting up from the bed.

"Go away from here. I'll be contacting you soon" She gritted to that unknown man who hurriedly wore back his clothes and left the room immediately, making his way out of the haveli.

"Irtaza, Shehryaar" She called lovingly and moved towards them before placing her hand on Mortaza's cheek.

"You both will not be telling about this to anyone. Ok?" She said in her sweet melodious tone, trying
