Two Months Later

Shiza's POV (Edited)

I was standing in the kitchen of our new home. Home! I thought I will never be able to call a house, home. But my wish had been fulfilled. Now, I have a house I can call a home and a house that belongs to me. More like, I belonged to that house.

So many things happened in the past two months. Dreadful lies came out shattering the once tranquil setting of the Mir's Haveli. I still felt bad how things ended that day in December.

The eldest grandson decided to leave the house and shifted to his own apartment with his wife. We are still not living very far away from the Haveli. But it's a good one hour drive from here. Shah Zain doesn't want to live so far because deep down inside, he still cares for his family.

After all, blood will never dry. He doesn't show it but I knew he was upset. He had spent his entire childhood in that house and leaving the home you cherished so much beautiful moments is always so heart wrenching. But leaving that particular home on a sad note is even more frustrating and heart breaking.

Home is place where memories took birth. We all collected so many important moments of our lives in our homes. Leaving a home is always difficult. Even more difficult is leaving the people living there.

The day we arrived in this apartment, Shah Zain sincerely apologize for his behavior with me throughout the course of time. I still remembered that night crystal clear...

Flashback to that night...

He stopped the car infront of a tall looking building. The building goes high up in air. As we stepped down, he took hold of our suitcases before motioning me to follow him. I followed him and we both entered inside the lavish looking lobby.

He walked towards the receptionist before asking her for her room keys. The receptionist did some typing before handing him the key. He took the key in his hand before we made our way to the lift.

A silence prevailed between us. As we reached the tenth floor, the lift dinged open. We stepped out before making our way to the long looking hallway.

He stopped at the last room before juggling the keys in the lock and opening the door. As we entered inside, I was gobsmacked. The apartment was not so big not so small. It was a moderate length. The floors were perfectly marbled and followed by a spick and span living room. The living room comes with a L-shaped sofas in one corner while a big tv screen was attached to the wall Infront of it. The windows were not to big. But it gave clear view of the outside.

A small kitchen was to the right of the lounge. A small hallway was first before a series of rooms broke out.

Shah Zain placed the suitcases on the floor before saying

"You can change into something comfortable. I'll take the suitcase in the room."

I nodded my head before following him to the room. First I took out my night wear from suitcase and then entered inside the bathroom to get fresh and probably to take a bath...

After showering, I made my way outside the room. The living area looked silent. When I entered there, I saw Shah Zain quietly sitting on the dining chair. When he heard my footsteps, he looked up.

I passed him a small smile before taking a seat infront of him. A covered plate was placed on the table. When he saw the confusion on my face, he clarified
