"I didn't know that Yusuf would react like this." She paced around the room and Zahra rolled her eyes as she stopped her from pacing around "He is ought to act like this,don't worry he will be fine."

Yusrah shook her head as she wiped her tears "Yusuf is a very emotional person Zahra,I just hope he is fine." She sobbed and Zahra smiled at her "He is strong,he will be fine."

Her father banged the door as he stared at her "We have found the house where he lives,we are going there." He stated with authority dripping in his voice and Yusrah covered her face.

She shouldn't have spilled it out.

"Baba,we don't need to go to Yusuf's house now.We should let him process the information,he will inform his family by himself." Yusrah croaked out with fear "We should give him time." She begged staring into his eyes and he shook his head.

Yesterday,after she left Yusuf.She thought it was only Zahra who was in Yazeed's room so she broke down and started saying everything that happened.Turns out that her parents were there and they heard everything.

Things are moving too fast.

She needs time.

Time always does this,it always slips off of our hands and we cannot even do anything to get a hold of it.

"We are going,now!"

She carried her hijab with her body shaking wildly as she followed him,tears kept rolling down her eyes with each step she took,her heart was growing heavier and she felt like the weight is too much to carry.

Her heart kept breaking with each and every step she took.

"I am so sorry,Yusuf."

She whispered to no one as she entered the car.She fiddled with her hands violently as the car kept moving.

They reached the house and entered after telling the gateman that they want to meet the owners of the house.

Entering the house with a salam,heavenly scent of turaren wuta reach their noses,a lady of about 40 years old walked out from the supposed kitchen as she smiled at them.

Yusrah had her head ducked down and she didn't dare look at the woman.

They are bad news bearers.The woman looks so happy.

Yusrah's tears intensified and she closed her eyes trying not to sob out loud,she felt like shouting loudly.She feels like digging a ground and entering.

"Good afternoon,sit down please." The woman stated politely and they did,she called their maid to bring refreshments as she smiled awkwardly.

"Are you looking for my husband?" She questioned.

"We want to meet both of you." Her mother stated and she nodded her head "Galarai,call Alhaji." She called another maid.

They are rich,freaking rich.

"Does this boy look like anyone you know?" Her father questioned holding Yazeed close and the woman stared at him "He really look like my son,Yusuf."

Yusrah took sharp intakes of breath because she felt suffocated despite the air conditioner.

"Had it been Yusuf is married then I would have said that this is his son.Come here cutie pie,what is your name?" She made Yazeed sit on her laps.

"Yazeed." He whispered "Nice name for a cute boy." She stated smiling widely.

They don't deserve this,they don't deserve to know this big news this way.

Yusrah was totally clueless of what to do.

"He is your grandson." Her father stated and the woman's smile faded,after a while a small smile played on her lips "You have a good sense of humor." She complimented him as she smiled.

Yusuf's father walked down the stairs like some sort of a king,he is intimidating.That is one thing that Yusrah is very sure of about him.A beautiful lady trailed behind him with a neutral face.

They exchanged greetings and silence enveloped the whole place,it was just like the silence before the storm.Her father started talking and everything was told to them.The atmosphere became so thick,nobody was moving or flinching,everyone was processing the information.

His father scoffed and stared at Yazeed then back at her father "You don't look poor,why are you stooping low then?" He questioned her father and he scoffed "I will never do that,I am stating a fact."

Yusuf's mother who already had tears in her eyes stared at Yusrah "Yusuf doesn't go out in the night,this child is 4 which means this happened 5 years ago." His mother talked more to herself "Not possible." She shook her head in disagreement.

"I couldn't believe it when I found out that my daughter was pregnant.Those things are hard to believe but it us the reality." Her mother's voice reached her ears.

The lady who was sitting behind his father let out a chuckle "That perfect son isn't so perfect after all." She grinned staring at his mother.

"Tell your wife to mind her tongue!" Yusuf's mother stated looking at his father.

Yusrah gulped.So this is her co-wife.

"This is a lie!" His mother stood up shaking her head as she glared at them,she came in front of Yusrah and held her hand "Say the truth my daughter." She cried out "My son can never do something like this,Yusuf can never do this.Please tell everyone that you are lying,please." She cried and Yusrah's tears only intensified.

She felt guilty for this woman's grief,she felt hurt about everything that is happening.She felt sorry for Yusuf.She wanted to cry and cry till she doesn't have tears anymore.

She cannot even imagine what Yusuf is going through after hearing the news and now this!

She wanted to give him time,to process the information then he will inform his parents by himself but.....Nothing is going like she planned.

His mother was still crying on the floor and Yusrah also knelt down in front of her,she folded her hand and continued crying without saying saying a single word.

Warisha rolled her eyes at the drama as she stared at Yazeed,a stinging feeling choke her heart as she stared at the cute child.He really looks like Yazeed,he is his son.And the lady crying is his mother not her.

"I am sorry." Yusrah stated ducking her head down in shame.

Yusuf's father angrily stood up "Get out of my house,right now!"

Her father stubbornly sat down without moving an inch "I said get out!" He thundered again making Yusrah shudder in fear.

"You cannot come to MY house and emotionally blackmail me,you cannot come to my house with a child saying that he is my grandson.You can never fool Alhaji Abdul-aziz!"

"I will make sure you regret this, I will do everything just to see you on my feet apologizing and saying the truth.Get lost!" He stated.

Yusuf's father is scary and also full of himself.

"Your son impregnated my daughter,left her stranded.We raised the child and now that we are here,you are telling us to get lost? You are mad if you think I am stepping out of this house without the agreement I came with.Call your son!" Her father also thundered.

Things are getting out of hand.

Securities were called to throw them out of the house but a certain someone stopped it.

"Leave them alone." He stated coming down the stairs,he looked so disorganized.

"They are not lying,they are saying the truth."

His mother ran to him as she shook her head "Tell your father if they emotionally blackmailed you.I am very sure you cannot do this to anyone Yusuf." She shook him trying to bring him back to his sense but he shook his head "I am sorry for disappointing you,mama."

She let go of him as she started walking backward slowly with her legs shaking,she shook her head as tears roll down from her eyes.

"I am Yazeed's father."

He stated with his eyes red,his father lounged forward as he slapped him across his face.

"How dare you!" He screeched and Yusuf turned his face to the other side "Tell me if they have blackmailed you,I can do anything to make sure they are punished. I will spend tons of money just to make sure they lay down to our feet apologizing." His father stated with fire blazing from his eyes.

"Money doesn't solve every problem."

"The truth cannot be changed."

Yusuf stated "I am Yusuf,the father of Yazeed." He stated as tears roll down from his eyes.

He lounged forward and came in front of her parents "I am the one who ruined your daughter's life,punish me please." He begged as tears streamed down his eyes with his head bent low,he felt like the cheapest man kn earth.

Her father shook his head "As much as I want to punish you,I can't bring myself to do that.It is not your fault,it is just that you have to take responsibility of the mistake you made unknowingly." He stated.

Her mother smiled at him "You are a good man,Yusuf.We are angry but we cannot help but see that." She stated.

The DNA test was bought and after a calm discussion.Everyone agreed that Yusuf is the father of Yazeed.

"I don't want my reputation to tarnish,I will give you any amount of money you want,just hide this matter forever." His father stated in a business like manner.

"Not everything can be solved with money,I am here with a more better and tempting offer.This solution will hold your reputation,give Yazeed his right and also give Yusuf and Yusrah a chance to rectify for their mistakes." Her father stated calmly.

"What is it?"

The next thing he uttered made everyone shocked.Warisha held her mouth trying not to shoute NO.His mother stared at him in utter horror.His father thought quizzically about it.Yusrah closes her eyes tightly as tears roll down from her eyes while Yusuf painfully smile.

"We should get the both of them married."
