Chapter Two:
*Later the next day*
Aliya was busy in their room cleaning up as Zain took a shower in the bathroom. She was cleaning the dress table when her phone began to ring. She went over to the bedside and picked it up. "Hello?"
*7 Minutes later*
Zain came out of the shower with his wet hair touching his forhead. He went to put his towel away when he saw Aliya with her eyes huge looking down at her phone.
"Zain." Aliya's voice sounded quiet serious and mono tone. "I know, everything." Zain walked up to her confused.
"Everything? What are you talking about."
"I'm talking about Ayaat and Rocky and how she came to Mumbai for a different reason. I know that you helped her and you didn't do to Dehli, but Bhopal to drop her off safely."
"Look Aliya, I was going to tell you but I didn't want you to worry."
"That's not why I am telling you why I know everything. In fact I should be saying thank you for saving my sisters life, but that's not really not what's bothering me the most. What is that Ayaat sent me video. A video that you may not know anything of, and you may not want to, but it has to do with your safety. Would you like to see the video." Zain hesitated. What type of video would Zain not want to see?
"Yeah sure. " He took a deep breath in as she passed him her phone. He pressed play. It started off with Rocky face on.
"Ayaat. You think you can hide from me. You never will. If you don't come back to mumbai yourself, I will start hurting your family. Your utterly annoying Jiju, Zain Abdullah. And don't think it's hard for me to do that. You think I'm the only one who wants to hurt him. Half of his family is in it with me. You know your jiju's accident? That was because of us. I was the one in the car. *laughs* He thinks he is all that? He knows nothing. How do you think I knew that he would be there on that street, his mom told me herself. It is true that she only wanted Zain hurt to blame Aliya, but that doesn't mean that she didn't want pain for her own son. She gave me this plan herself. She knew I wanted revenge, so she gave me the opportunity. *Laughs again* Ayaat, you and you're family will suffer if you don't come to Mumbai. It's your choice; let your family suffer because of your selfishness or come here and no one will get hurt." The video cut. Zain looked numb, he had no words. His mother, his own mother, almost killed him. All for what? Because he doesn't like his wife, because she's jealous? Disgusting.
"Zain?" Aliya put her hand on his shoulder. "Are you okay?" Zain went and sat on their bed. Aliya followed and sat right next to him.
"Aliya. I don't know what to do. What should I do? My own mother."
"Firstly, you need to calm down Zain. Don't make any decisions in anger or angst."
"I have made my decision Aliya." He took her hand and stood up. "Let's go." He pulled her arm behind him as they walked out of their room, down to living room and Zain stopped. "MOM! DAD! BHAI!"
"Zain, what are you doing? Stop!" His grip only got tighter. "Ow. Zain stop."
"Aliya. You support the truth right? Then why can't you support me now?"
"Because you're still weak Zain. You shouldn't be walking around or yelling. This could cause anything to you right now. It's too much pressure. Just calm down. We can think of something else to do."
"No Aliya. The truth is better being opened now than later." The whole family came to join Zain and Aliya to see what the whole chaos was about.
"Zain beta, what are you doing. You should be resting." Zain's ammi came in front of him and put her hand on his shoulder. "Is everything okay?" She turned and looked at Aliya. "Aliya, I though you said you were going to take care of Zain. What is this?" Zain's eyes filled with anger. He let go of Aliya's hand to remove his moms hand off of his shoulder.
"Really mom? Are you really worried about me?"
"Of course I am Zain."
"LIES." The whole room went silent.
"Zain! Do not talk to your mother like that!" Zain's abbu cut through the silence.
"But that is how you talk to a liar dad. An actress and mastermind of her own game."
"Zain. Are you calling me a liar. How dare you?"
"How dare I what? How dare I call you by what you actually are. A liar."
"Zain. Why in the world are you calling your mother a liar?"
"Look for yourself." His dad came up to Zain, next to his wife, and took the phone and played the video.
*After the Video*
Everyone fell silent. "Believe me now? She tried to hurt me! She got a guy to try to hurt me because he is jealous of my BIWI." Biwi.. the word ran through Aliya's head again and again. Was he really mad because his mother lied, or because she wanted to ruin Aliya?
"Is this true?" Zain's father asked his wife. She looked confused, lost, afraid and exposed.
"No. I don't know. How can you believe this. This is probaly all Aliya's doing. She just wants to ruin me, ruin us,"
"ENOUUGH!" Zains voice roared like a lion. "I have decided that if mom has such a problem with Aliya and I, then we will leave. From this mansion and from you all." Zain grabbed on to Aliya's hand and began to walk out the door.
"Wait Zain. We can't leave our family."
"They are not our family anymore. We are our own family now."
"But Zain. Where will we go?" They were now at the car. He handed her the keys so she can drive.
"Farm house..."
