HeartBroken novel Chapter 41

Chapter Thirty Nine

They all ask about her well being as her eyes try to find one person in the room. Isra understood from the way she wasn't paying attention to their questions.

She slowly goes towards her.

"He is standing outside, full of guilt. He doesn’t have the guts to face you. Uncle told everyone how you tried to save him from that girl.” Isra softly whispers in her ear, sitting beside her.

Sahaan doesn't react to her words.

The doctor knocks on the door and comes inside. Upon checking her, he tells them it is safe to take her home after a few hours. But she needs to visit after two weeks to remove the stitches.

After coming back home, Sahaan’s mother has been forcing her to drink soup, but she sits blankly, staring at her henna-filled hands.Her eyes well up and her mother notices it. Putting the bowl down, she holds her hands.

"What was my mistake, mom?” She whispers to her mother, looking down and holding in her tears.

Her mother doesn't say anything, but hugs her tightly. Sahaan sobs in her mother’s arms, like a child who has lost her favorite toy.

Ahmed came to talk to Sahaan, but hearing her cries, he stops outside.

"No, no! It’s not like that… You must’ve heard-'' She tries to defend herself, but is interrupted by Ahmed's loud yelling.

"Stop it, mom! Stop! For God’s sake! How long are you going to lie?" He furiously yells, making her flinch.

"Don’t you have any mercy? For sabotaging the love of your own son? Do you not fear God? Do you know how much damage you have caused to the poor soul? You took advantage of being a mother." He whispers, tears falling down from his eyes.

He was utterly broken. He couldn't believe his mother would stoop so low, just for some property.

Ayesha's eyes burn with tears, seeing her son so heartbroken. This is the first time he cried in front of her.
