Iqraam
My ammi had decided that Iqra and I need to meet father
So here we are today, standing in front of the luxurious hotel, V's, with paparazzi everywhere
"Shall we?" I asked Iqra and she gave me a worried look
"Calm down, we can do this!" I said and she nodded
We walked inside the hotels and my bodyguards held people back
Walking towards the elevators, I checked the messages
Many were from Ruqayyah as she was still my PA
She was reminding me to keep my calm and that my meetings for today was cancelled so no rush
"Bhai I think it's a bad idea" said Iqra and I shook my head
"Its now or never" I said and she sighed
Holding my arm tightly, she stood in the elevators
It took us to the VIP level and soon we were walking through halls towards the living room
"Thus way, sir!" Said the assistant and we followed her
My bodyguards were with us
"Please take a seat while you wait for the visitors, would you like something to eat it drink?" She asked us and we shook our head
"No thank you" I said and with that she walked out
Iqra played with her phone while I stared out of the balcony
this was the too floor, I realized
"As salamu alaikum" said a voice and we turned to see him
He has changed since what I could remember
"Was alaikum mus salaam" replied Iqra and I
He smiled causing wrinkles on his forehead
Walking towards us, I extended a hand for him to shake
I did not know what else to do, alright
We met like ages later!
Iqra can't even remember him, let alone know him
A tall guy and two girls followed him inside
They seemed Muslims
"Take a seat" he said and we resumed our previous positions
The girl with long hair in braid set beside him, followed by the other girl in ponytails and lastly the guy
"Iqraam... meet my kids.." he said and I looked at him
His kids?
He was married?
"My son, Namaan, my daughters, Nabaahat and Nafasat" he said gesturing to the girls in order
Nabaahat was the one with long hair in braid and Nafasat was the one with pony tails
They smiled at me and I smiled back
Not the best way to meet a father after so many years
"You must be wandering why I am here?" He asked us
From my peripheral vision I saw Iqra clenching her phone tight
Surprising I was calm
I nodded
"I Wanted to see you.... both, how you have been, I did not know about your address so I could not contact you..." he said and it was all lies
Can anyone remind him why internet was invented?
"Iqra, how are you?" He asked her
Iqra smiled weakly but did not speak
"Is something wrong?" He asked us
"I am sorry but we are happy... with ammi- i am sorry but it was her plan for us to meet you so in short... we really did not want to meet you" i said in a calm voice
His eyes were trained on me
"I see you still have that humor of your mother" he said and i raised an eyebrow
"She was feisty" he replied smiling
My phone rang cutting me from saying anything
"Excuse me" I said when I saw Ruqayyah calling
They nodded and I walked out to the balcony
"Salaam" I said rubbing my temple
"Was salaam, how's everything?" She asked me
I smiled
"Awkward..." i replied and she chuckled
"Calm down, think before saying, ammi deserves some happiness" she said and i nodded although she can't see me
"Yes..." I said
"Okay then Allah hafeez" she said and hung up
I put my phone back into my pocket and walked back inside
"I heard that you are a businessman- congrats son!" He said
Son
Oh yes, my business was successful because of you, you left us, I got motivated to slap your face and there was no better way!
Instead I calmed myself
Think about ammi!
"Thank you" I replied
He set up straight
"There is something you need to know" he said and I nodded
Whatever it is please hurry up, I don't wanna stay so long here
"Your mother....." he said after inhaling a deep breath
This caught my attention
My ammi?
"Yes?" I said looked directly in his eyes
"She knows their mother" he said gesturing to the three youngsters
"And?" I asked
It should not be a problem am I right?
"Their mother is dead Iqraam" he said and I stared at the three people
Okay
"And Fatima knows them too, since the death of their mother when Nafasat was a year old" he replied
My mouth hung open
What. The. Hell?
"How- what- the-?" I stuttered since I had no idea what was going on
He smiled
"I know... she kept it a secret...." he said
I felt my anger rise slowly
70°
"She did not want you to know.." he said
80°
"She had reasons, Iqraam" he said
90°
"She did not mean to hurt you or Iqra.... " he said
95°
Stop talking
"She knew the things would go downhill if you knew about them!" He said
Okay he seriously needs to stop talking
97°
my phone vibrated and I looked at it
Without realizing I had clenched my phone in my hands so hard that there was a slight crack on the screen
Oh great! There went my brand new iPhone 6 plus
There was a viber message
Opening it I saw it was from Ruqayyah
From: ✨Ruqayyah
Stay calm, think about ammi, you know she wants best for both of you!
xx
-Ruqayyah
I smiled
Okay so I need to calm down
Anger level: 30°
But it is still there
"Please consider this" said father and I snapped back to him
"Pardon me, but what?" I asked him
"She has asked me talk to you if you could allow them to have some sibling bonding?" He asked me
I think I have only one sister thats Iqra
Speaking if which, i turned to Iqra
"You alright?" I asked her and she nodded
"You sure?" I pressed
By the looks of her face, she was not sure
"Yes, bhai... please think about this issue throughout" she said and i nodded
Turning back to father, i smiled weakly
For ammi
"I need time... for 24 years i had no idea about this, we just cant make decisions now" i said and he nodded
"And may I speak to then please?' I asked him and he nodded
He turned to his children and the boy nodded
"I shall leave you all alone" with that he walked out
I turned to Iqra and she sighed
"Come on!" I said and stood up
The three stood up and smiled at me
"Iqraam, 24" I said extending my hand and the tall broad boy smiled
"Namaan, 22" he smiled shaking my hand
22?
My father left us when Iqra was a year old.... I was 5 that time...
How is he 22?
Oh hell father just did not do that!
"Nabaahat, i am... 20" said the girl in braid smiling at us
Iqra smiled at them
"Nafasat, and I am 18" said the girl in pony tail
I noticed she had the same eyes as Iqra and so did Namaan
"Iqra, I am.... 20" said Iqra and they grinned
"I always knew i had another brother!" Said Namaan and this made me chuckle
"Thank you" said Nabaahat and I glanced at her
"Why?" I asked her
She smiled sadly at me
"Not raging over badi ammi meeting us" she said
"Badi ammi?" Asked Iqra
"Your... mother" whispered Nabaahat
I smiled
How can I be angry if I can't put a finger on my emotions!
Ya Allah please help us through it!
