Ignored Innocent Heart novel Chapter 51

After sometime, Hanan and Ibrahim left for their own place while everyone was just sitting in lounge in silence. No one had anything to say so it was an awkward atmosphere in there.

“Hana, why didn’t you ever tell me anything?” Hiba finally broke the silence and asked the question with extreme hurt in her voice. Even asfand was hurt but he gently patted his wife’s shoulder in order to sooth her.

“Mamma, I was scared that you will not believe me!” she replied while looking at her parents with frown and scared expression.

“But I thought you could say anything to me and your Baba without ever feeling insecure! You know I will never judge you! I trust you more than anything then why baby! Huh?” Hiba asked further while taking hana’s hands in her. She lovingly patted her cheek and asked for explanation.

“I’m sorry!” She apologized with tears in her eyes and then started to cry softly. Hiba just hugged her daughter tightly. She soothed her and when she was calm, they parted a little and just sat close to each other.

“Acha bas karain! Ab sab kuch clear ho gaya hai na! Chhorhay is sab ko! (Okay enough! Now everything is clear na! Leave all of this!)” Zayn said while trying to clear the tension. Hiba and asfand glared at him.

“I will talk to you later!” Asfand threateningly said to his younger son.

“Okay Okay!” He replied nervously.

“Okay I understand that you guys are angry at me for hiding it and you guys should be too! But we can discuss it later! What I really want to talk about is why Hana has to stay at their place! Why can’t they come and stay here if they want to spend time with her!” Zayn asked while coming in his overprotective mode. He did not want his sister to spend a night at another place and here she was asked to stay for don’t know how many nights. He wants his siter all to himself.

“Yeah! Even I would say that we should tell them to stay with us instead of sending hana there!” Zamid suggested. He spoke for the first time in all this. His protectiveness had also awoken with the thought of hana spending night somewhere else.

Rayaan was silently listening and digesting all the new information. He was feeling bittersweet in all this. On one hand, he was happy that she got her family and that too, a loving and doting kind. On the other hand, he was sadden too as it was like his world was getting away from him. He was getting scared that she will decide to go with her brothers and would not want to marry him now after last night’s outburst.

In this situation, he left everything on Allah! He knew that if she was written in his destiny then she will be his! No matter the circumstances. He decided to accept anything that was decided as he wants to give this option in hana’s hand. He wants her to decide whatever she wants in her life!

He also did not want her to go but when he saw a big smile on her face, he decided to remain silent and let her go! But he was becoming anxious.

“I am not asking any of you guys! My daughter wants to go so she will go! I have not given any right to you guys to decide for her! Her parents are still alive to make decisions for her!” Hiba glared at her sons and said all this with extreme possessiveness. After getting to know that her daughter had spent the whole day and most of the night while sitting outside of the gates, she was very disappointed and angry at her children. Hana told her everything in the morning before going to university when she came to ask for permission to spend some time with Hanan.

Hana was telling all this because she thought she had disrespected her brothers by shouting on them due to her periods! But, hiba became worried that how can her sons be this irresponsible. She had trusted all the kids with her only daughter and they had proven her that she should never trust them with her baby ever again! And that too, in a most brutal way! She was thankful to Allah that her child was safe at least but was still very bitter about it. She had informed Asfand about it too and he was also very angry at them. Expecially Zamid and Zayn!

After shutting them up, hiba and asfand got up and made there way to their room. Hiba was dragging hana with her from her hand. The boys were ashamed! All of them! They just went back to the office as they still had a lot of things to do there.

The day was spent with everyone taking care of Dadi jaan who was still very weak and was mostly sleeping in her room! Hana had yet to meet her but she was guilty and scared of going in her room. She was guilty because she was the one who gave her dado some sweets due to which her sugar level increased. It was not her fault as her dado ordered her for it but she should still have told her or refused to give it but she got scared of her dado’s serious face so she did not refuse and just gave some sweets to her, which resulted in all this fiasco.

Zeeniya came back and got to know about everything from hiba when hana was in her own room and packing a small bag. Zeeniya was very disappointed in her husband that they could be this irresponsible so she decided to talk some sense in her dear hubby’s mind.

………………………..

In the morning, everyone was sitting and having some breakfast when they all heard an ‘Assalamualaikum’ in two different voices. They all turned and saw Ibrahim and Hanan standing in the laung and looking at them from there. Everyone greeted them back and Asfand called them to have some breakfast. At first they refused and saif that they were only to take hana but then complied as she was still not down yet.

They were drinking coffee when they heard her footsteps and heard her greeting. Before anyone could reply to her greeting, Hanan stood up with a big smile and shouted ‘HONEY’. He took a toast from his plate that he had put some jam on and ran towards her. She was still standing on the last step of stairs and looking at hanan with confusion. He just came in front of her and picked her up with one hand. She squealed in surprise and started to slap his shoulders lightly to put her down but he just started to run outside with her in his one arm and the second hand having a toast.

“ALLAH HAFIZ!” he shouted behind him and dashed out. Everyone was just looking at the scene with astonishment and by the time they came out of their shock, Hanan and hana had already left. Ibrahim was also shocked but then he chuckled and apologized on hanan’s behalf.

Ibrahim just smiled lovingly and went away from there. He went in the kitchen to bring something for Zamid and also to give some privacy to them. Zamid had already asked him for some privacy.

“How are you? You did not even called anyone other than Mama and baba!” He started and then questioned with a hint of sadness.

“I-I w-wa-was busy! Yeah I was busy! That is why!” She started in an unsure voice and then smiled and said. She was proud of herself that she came up with an excuse but who was to tell her that this excuse cannot convince anyone.

Zamid chuckled lightly at her sorry excuse of a reason and then looked up at her. She was sitting beside him. He gently took her hands in his own and looked in her eyes.

“Hana, I am here for a reason today! I don’t know what to say as I know what I have done to you is unforgiveable. I just want to let you know that I don’t hate! I know I pretended like I hated you but that is not the case! When you came in our life, I thought you will take Mama and Baba’s attention that is why I was angry but then your innocence and your adoration for me started to annoy me! As everyone avoided you because of dadi, I also started to do that so that I would not get scolded from Dadi jaan like Mama and baba used to get. I am sorry for all that! I know this is not enough but I still want you to give me a chance to prove that I can also be a brother that you can be proud off! I want to spend time with you and I want you to share your fears and insecurities with me as you do with Zayn and probably Hanan and Ibrahim too!” He said all this with tears in his eyes. A traitorous tear slipped from his eye. He was pleading with her to trust him and give him a chance. Hana was looking at him and started to cry. She instantly hugged her brother and sobbed loudly on his chest. Zamid was continuesly kissing her head and mumbling apologise and trying to shush her.

Ibrahim was standing in the kitchen with his back to one of the counters. He was listening to all this with a smile! He was praying for Hana in his heart and thanking Allah for his blessings. He knows how they were all with his only sister but they had given her a home and really good up bringing.

Suddenly, all of them were alert as there was a loud bang and the front door of the apartment was broken. Ibrahim instantly went out and stood with Zamid as hana was behind him. They were waiting for the person who had done this. Ibrahim was dialing Hanan’s number. It was still ringing. Before anyone could pick up from the other side, they saw some men with big guns in their hands. Everything was a blur from there as those people started running to them and Zamid and Ibrahim started pushing them and away from hana. There were no words just fighting. The brothers were fighting with their hands while punching here and there while the people with the guns were breaking things in the house. They were not firing. As it was two against five men, Ibrahim and Zamid were over powered. They were beaten very badly and hana was also in one of their hands. They were dragging a crying and screaming hana towards the front door by her mid length hair. When she was showing resistance, they knocked her out by slaming the back of the gun on her head. She instantly blacked out.

Zamid and Ibrahim were helplessly watching it but they could not do anything. Before they could move or do something, they were also knocked out in the same way. Both of them blacked out and they did not know what happened to them after that.

When Zamid woke up, he saw that he was in a dark room on the floor with his hands and feet tied. His hands were tied very tightly on his back. He looked around him and saw Ibrahim was also tied the same way but he was still unconscious.

What he saw next surprised him a lot! He was shocked and scared to the core of his being. He could not help the tears that were beginning to come in his eyes. A loud sob left his lips and then another. His sobs were so loud that Ibrahim also started to stir. He also looked around him and he was shocked to see Zamid crying and then he looked in the direction where he was looking. He was as shocked and sad as Zamid. But, his eyes were red with anger instead of tears.
