Chapter 17 :: Home coming
929 Words
It’s been 4 days passed and Raichands had to go through a real mess!
Made of Rahils'.......which Insiyaa intentionally uncovered!
three Raichands had to go back and forth to police station for various legal paperwork.......for visa and passport verifications, even though reason was already cleared in the embassy!
Because of their so-called connection to scammers.....
Ruthba and Insiyaa had their hands full with Rushda who slipped in and out of consciousness repeatedly........
and then, there was Farida too
5th day.....
under the supervision of a constable......Farida was allowed to meet her husband Shezaad,....yep, each one of Rahils' were in custody. Since Shezaad was cooperative, officer showed him a little mercy and let him meet his child. Farida looked really tired, Ruthba was with her.
Shezaad at one point did ask for Ruthba's forgiveness.....
Allah knew what she said, because she never told anybody. Afterall it wasn’t that easy, even though Shezaad was loyal to his wife all these time, he would have still carried on with whatever plan the evil family had for the sisters.......
And had they succeeded........Insiyaa shivered, just thinking of it!
and to say they were cousins for heavens sake!
as for now, Raichand's booked rooms in a good hotel, for few days until they get okay from Police......
they would have left for India the very day police came to take them away, was it not for Rushda, she was still in hospital under observation, doctor put her on saline stating she was severely dehydrated.
it was surprising that they didn’t mention her being pregnant.....
Ruthba wondered why!
6th day.....Rushda gained her consciousness but she stayed completely quiet which bothered Ruthba and Shawkat and Insiyaa way more than it should have
true that they had no idea about Rushda's pregnancy,......but still she should have reacted in some way.
after all she was so ---- ensnared by Shadaab, but much to their dismay she didn’t even cry and that was concerning.
7th day.....Amarendra asked Rahat booked an early flight back to India as they got the green light from Doctor and Police.
day after they came back home and from there everything started going downhill....
and not just for Rushda Rahil.
Shawkat left India for an emergency,.....
Rahat busied himself in taking care of business since Amarendra was unwell after this long chaotic journey, Insiyaa wasn’t allowed to go even to attend College....except exams under supervision !
*****
Rushda's health didn’t improve at all in past few days.....
in fact if anything, she was getting more sick! Ruthba took her to doctor.....she has been taking care of her ever since----
12 week it's been.......
safe to say Raichand Havelli does not feel like a home to them anymore if anything it felt like haunted house......
silence is the only things that reigned ever since they came back,....
3 month!
one more and possibly every one will know what exactly happened, what was wrong with Rushda Rahil....!
then what, what will she do then....?
Ruthba had no idea how baba will react!
or, worse!
how anyone will take this news, ...... most definitely not in positive manner, that she knows,.....!
she literally had to beg the lady doctor to not to disclose the fact that she was pregnant infront of everyone......!
what will happen to Rushda then ?
they had no one before......
here they were just Jubeyda Amma's grand children and the mighty Raichands' ward.
Amarendra Raichand only took them in,....sheltered them, took care of them only because of his beloved wife Ahana Raichand and for the sake of their children, but now when she will be bringing shame to this family, will the men tolerate ?
She never thought about it.....
what a selfish, i***t and stupid her sister was.....!
why did she had to be so reckless......
how could she just trust a man she barely knew,.... so much that she let him seduce her into----sin
*******
why ? Allah......
Why did i do it
Ya Allah! show me a path....how do i repent!
how will i face anyone when everything comes in light!
What will baba think ?
How will Raichand siblings would react ?
Rushda's thoughts were running wild.....
she couldn’t think of anything else, she tried not to!
*********
Insiyaa was studying in her room in humming noise, but to say no matter how much she tried her best and bring her mind to stay on the open page of the book infront of her would be an understatement.....
she was missing Amma today the most..... in evening like she would be constantly breathing down on her neck, which most of the time annoy the hell out of her.....
even when she would be studying until let night, amma would bring her food thinking she might be hungry, and dry fruits for brain, warm milk,....she never liked warm milk, she like cold one and amma knew it well, still she would bring it and then she would bring out her Holy Quran and sat on her bed.....and read it in her room in low yet melodious voice.
"amma....padhayi kar rahi hoon na mein, aap apne khud ke kamre mein kyun ni jaate" absentmindedly she yelled only to realize Amma was not there,.....she was just daydreaming
[ amma. i'm trying to study, why don't you go to your own room ]
but the door of her room was open and there was Ruthba standing.....eyes brimming with tears
Insiyaa was looking at her empty bed.....looking at Ruthba she let out a shaky sigh before hurriedly turning her concentration back on her book.
