Severance Of Ties novel Chapter 26

Chapter Twenty Six

"What? What did you just say?" Zohan angrily asks her, striding towards her, bringing her out of memory lane and she stands up facing him, straightening her shoulders.

"What? What wrong did I say?" Mushk daringly asks him, who just keeps looking at her.

"Everything you said is wrong, there is nothing about being sexist, this is what women are supposed to do!" Zohan was angrily saying when Mushk loudly interrupts him.

"And you call yourself well educated, you don't even have slightest knowledge about Islam." Mushk taunts him, who was completely vexed because of his behavior.

She was a feisty one, and won't hesitate to mind the wrong ones then and there, and won't even bear anything wrong happening to her, and Zohan came to know about it now.

He was appalled, he mistook her as a meek girl.

"You are going to teach me Islam? Did you forget that you can’t talk to your husband in this ill mannered way!" Zohan beseechingly asks her who laughs at his words.

"Once again, do you even know what you're talking about? this is not ill mannered Zohan, this is me fighting for my rights as a women." Mushk fumingly tells him, her chest heaving up and down due to her immense shouting.

Giving her one last angry look, he pushes her and stomps out the room. She keeps looking at his retreating back, taking a deep sigh as she sits down on bed.

"What’s wrong with him? He wasn't like this a few days ago." Mushk mutters holding her head in his hands.

~~

It was evening when Mushk heard the main door slam open, continuously stirring the pot she knew it was Zohan.

She wasn't ready to face him yet, the show which happened today morning was completely unexpected ,but his plan failed when he entered the kitchen.

Ignoring him, she continues her work. Zohan sighs seeing her ignorance.

"Mushk..look...I..I'm..." He was trying to apologize, as he knew what he did today morning was completely absurd.

"Dinner is ready." She shuts the stove and moves towards the dining table.

Zohan once again sighs, thinking to talk after dinner, he moves towards his room to freshen up.

All of them were having their dinner quietly, tension present in the atmosphere after dinner. Mushk wrapped everything up and went to her room.

Picking up the phone, she calls her aunt’s number. Not getting an answer she dials on the landline.

“Hello.” She greets as soon as the phone is picked up.

"Hello?...hello" She once again questions upon not receiving an answer, she was about to cut again when a voice from the other side stops her.

“Hello." A husky voice replied back. Mushk stiffens hearing the voice.

"Irtaza....." She whispers, realizing it's him. And on the other side, Irtaza could feel his heart accelerating, hearing her melodious voice calling his name.

"Actually...I actually want to speak to aunty, she isn't receiving my call." Mushk trails off.

"She is not here at the moment." Irtaza curtly replies, making her frown.
