Chapter Fourteen
"From now onwards, the gold sets will be with me. There is not need to put them in a safe." She looks at Ayesha in disdain before leaving.
Sahaan and Isra leave along with their grandmother. Amrah shakes her head at her mother before following Sahaan and Isra.
Tanzeen bursts with anger. She knows what she has to do now.
***
Sahaan, Isra, and Amrah enter their grandmother’s room
.
"I noticed something in her eyes when she was eyeing the jewelry. Her eyes were clearly gleaming with greed."
She says to her granddaughters. All of them nod, agreeing with her.
"What I need to do now is as clear as the sky. Sahaan, I want you to choose some sets from this for yourself too.” She tells her granddaughter.
"But grandma, I'm not getting married. As far as I know, we only get these sets when we are getting married!" Her tone is laced with confusion.
"Do what I told you to do. After selecting, go and tell Ahmed I’m calling him.” She further instructs. Sahaan nods her head and leaves the room after selecting her set.
"Whoa! What’s going on?” Hammad asks, still holding Sahaan's arm. Sahaan opens her mouth to say something, but is interrupted by Tanzeen.
"Nothing, Hammad. I was just telling her to take care of her guests, she’s so irresponsible!" Tanzeen says in her sickly sweet voice, faking a smile.
"Yeah, right! Everyone knows who’s responsible and who’s not." He narrows his eyes at her as he drags Sahaan away.
"Why do you talk to her? Just ignore her, she doesn’t deserve your attention.” Hammad says in a frustrated tone. He feels bad about not being able to protect his beloved sister from that cunning witch.
"What do you mean? It’s not like I wanna see her! My blood boils every time I see her. I wish I could punch that stupid face of hers!” She mimics his tone, adding more irritation.
"Calm down, my wild cat! I don’t know how your poor husband will bear you! How will he handle a wild cat like you?” Hammad laughs at her.
