TW: MENTION OF RAPE

𝙕𝙖𝙖𝙧𝙖

Mother would not stop crying and accusing the police officer (who's name is Samia) Samia has done nothing beside sit on our sofa looking bored as fuck of all the accusations. "Ma'am I am only telling you the results, if you have any concerns then please do not hesitate to bring it up with your brother who was at the scene of the crime." 

It made no sense, with how messed up the car was it was almost impossible for evidence to stay that long. Unless...Dabir wasn't actually in the car? "Did you find Father's prints or DNA?" Samia looked over her shoulder to her partner who shook his head "We have found some other DNA but it is not confirmed yet whither it is Mr. Martin's." 

Mother shook her head back at him "What do you mean not confirmed? My husband is in a coma because of that accident. You can't just wake up one day and think "I should go into a coma" and then actually fall into one!" I had to admit I chuckled a little bit at that but I composed myself quickly.

"Now on to another matter," Samia pulled out a newspaper and dropped it onto the table. Zoya got up quicker then flash and glared at Samia "What is the meaning of this?" she demanded staring at a picture of herself, Dabir, me, and Humna. It was the newspaper that contained all of our personal info. 

"According to this article around march 23 this newspaper came out and you guys suspected a man named Stevan am I correct?" everyone was silent looking at the big mess in front of us. "maybe, whats it to you?" Zoya asked all her niceness flowing out the window. "All I'm saying is that 3 months is a lot of time to plan something." 

Was she hinting at the fact that Stevan might have done something? What would Stevan get from hurting Dabir though? "There is also the fact that since you all believe Stevan is an active target towards your family we reopened the investigation and...." she trailed off hesitating. "And what?" Zoya asked obviously nervous now. 

"And...we believe that Stevan wasn't the one who told the papers about your family secrets." everyone gasped. Mother got up from her chair now close to Samia, her finger in Samia's face "Who the hell do you think you are? bringing up useless information from the past, suspecting my brother, and now telling me my husband might not have even been in that damn car? Are you even an officer?" 

We all sat, not bothering to pull her back because in a way she was right. Samia slowly got up and smoothed her outfit from nonexistent wrinkles. "I understand that right now Mrs. Martin you are going through a lot and this," she said pointing to the newspaper "is old news but right now every single one of you is a suspect. If your brother did do it then we will have to thoroughly search all of you." 

Samia put on her sunglasses and looked at all of us "I will be back tomorrow to properly start an investigation." and then she turned around and left all of us in shock. 

"Pick up!" Mother yelled before throwing her phone on the sofa. Humna shook her head "He's not picking up my phone either." Zoya and I said the same thing which made Mother even more worried. Eshan and Zain walked in with fucking guns in there hands. 

"What the fuck are you both doing?" I said getting up and reaching for the guns. "We're going to Amir Uncles house." Zain growled turning around to go to Uncle Amir's house. Mother got up and reached out to them "No! Are you both crazy? This is your uncle!" 

Eshan nodded "Yes mother, our uncle who might have killed our father!" Mother grew timid and balked away. I sighed and said "Put your guns away." When neither Eshan or Zain did that I glared at them which made them quickly put away the guns. 

"I will go with you both. And we will talk to Amir Uncle like civilized people." Zain opened his mouth to argue with me but I shushed him. Humna and Zoya told me they wanted to come with me so I told Maria to take care of Mother. 

When everyone was outside I took Mother's hands and gave her a smile "Don't worry Mother, we will figure this out." Mother nodded with tears rolling down her cheek. "Zaara I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to put you and Humna through this." 

I frowned and dropped her hands. She was going through a lot, I know but half of this could have been avoided. "Zaara?" Mother whispered afraid of me. I gave her a light smile and said "Another time." before walking out of her room with a heavy heart. 

When Eshan, Zain, Humna, Zoya, and I walked in we were greeted with millions of police officers, one of them was Samia. She immediately walked up to us and asked us what the hell we were doing here. "We came to talk to our uncle." I said staring straight at her, daring for her to tell us we cant. 

Samia nodded "But one of the officers will be stationed outside, just in case." She put away her notebook and motioned for all the officers excluded one to leave the room. I was surprised she let us but I let it slide because right now we have bigger fish to fry. 

When the doors were closed we all huddled around Uncle Amir who was strapped to his chair. He looked up at us and we gasped at his disheveled clothes, and his big dark circles. "Zaara?" he mumbled smiling at me. 

"You look just like her...just like Rayyana" he mumbled so only I can hear. Zoya sniffed him and winced "He's drunk." she said backing away from him. Eshan and Zain immediately went in front of us, but I gently pushed them aside to go to the front. They scowled, but didn't complain. 

"What did you do to our father?" I asked him squatting to meet his eyes. He instead gave a dark chuckle "What did I do? More like what did your mother do?" I looked at my siblings who had equally confused faces. 

"What did mother do?" Humna asked him. Amir Uncle looked up at all of us, showing his pearly white teeth he said "She killed this fucking family." 

I got up and backed away from him "What? You have no clue what you're saying, your fucking drunk!" Uncle Amir laughed, his head falling back "Yes, I appear to always be the problem. Haven't you asked your dear old mother what she has done? Why Rayyana even went into hiding? Why the fuck she made all of us famous?" 

He kept on rambling. But one thing caught my ears "M-mother is the reason behind Rayyana's disappearance?" Amir nodded "You're lying." Humna growled. Amir smirked "Am I?" Was all he said before the doors bursted open. 

We turned to see our aunt walking in with a furious expression "HOW DARE YOU STRAP HIM INTO A CHAIR!" She tugged at the rope and then glared at us "DO SOMETHING YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING KIDS!" We all stood there as Samia and her partners cut the rope. 

"Apologies, he's drunk and he was attacking the female officers." Our aunt glared at her and said "Do it look like a give a fuck?" She grabbed our uncle and before leaving she turned around and said "EVERYONE FUCKING LEAVE!" 

Everyone started packing up to leave while Amir Uncles words kept on replaying in my mind. 

Mother had something to do with Rayyana? 

"What now Zaara?" Eshan asked me. 

I stared at all of my siblings and said "Looks like we need to talk to Rayyana."
