Laura saw as her 5 year old daughter ran to her father to give him a welcome back hug
"Ke dan Allah matsa mun anan gurun(well you move from here)"said Suleiman her husband
"Keh you better control your daughter "Suleiman said fuming
Laura just stood their watching as her husband humiliate her daughter, and she can not do anything about it.
"But Suleiman she is ju..." she was cut mid sentence
"Ki min sheru kafun na zo gurin (Will you keep quit before I come there"Suleiman said, he waited for some minutes to see if Laura is going to say something, when he saw that she was quit he left
"Mama" maahnoor called her mother
"Yes maahnoor"
"Why doesn't Abba love me" innocent maahnoor asked
At that moment Laura didn't know what to say to her daughter, how can she start explaining to her daughter that her father is a greedy person and her marriage with her father was just for money.
"It's not like that maahnoor,he is just tired"
"But he hugs Aisha every time he comes back. And he doesn't hug me"
Aisha is my co-wifes child. Maahnoor is older than her with 2 years
My co wife hajara has 3 children, the first born is Asma who is 13 followed by laila who is 8 then Aisha the youngest who is 3
"Maahnoor stop saying that and go play"
As maahnoor left I went back to making dinner for everyone
I remember when Suleiman first changed his attitudes towards me I went back home with tears and the very same day I was brought back here
Flash back
July 1996
I walked into my father's house with my little luggage and a 2 year old maahnoor
This house holds a lot of memories, memories of my mom and dad.
I remember the day my mom died, I was hospitalised for a whole week, but eventually we got used to it , my father was my only support he was there for me
I am my parents only child, umma my stepmom didn't give him a child
My father died 1 year ago, that was the day, after my fathers death my life became a living hell, from my fathers relatives and my stepmom taking my inheritance living me nothing, to my husband abusing me
"Assalamu alaikum" I said as I entered the house
"We alaikumalsalam , who is there" umma my step mother answered
"It's me umma"
"What are you doing here, what is that"She said as she saw my luggage
