Mrs Sharma just sighed without saying anything. She followed her daughter inside and they all stopped at the doorstep. Everyone with their mouths opened wide agape.
For a sec, I actually thought they saw frogs but turns out, they were staring at an empty bed. Zeenat gasped as she looked at the bed. She closed her eyes and opened it many times but the situation was still the same.
She turned to look at others that were already staring at her like she was going crazy. She immediately tried to defend herself,“Ma… Ma… Mom, I wasn’t really lying. I was telling you the truth. I know it’s that little devil plan. I know it’s Samir’s plan. That disgusting little creature must have tried to set me up. I am going to punish…”
The room rang out with a loud slap. All the servants trembled while Zeenat held her cheek in pain. She trembled as tears ran down her cheeks.
“Mo… Mother…,” She tried to say but Mrs Sharma cut her off,“If you call me again, I will slap your face. You just called Samir names. The future heir of this family. How dare you!? I think you are going crazy. I will call the number of the asylum workers so they can come here and pick you up.”
Zeenat couldn’t utter a word. Her fists clenched as she cried. “I was doing important things and yet you came to disturb me. Zeenat, if you dare to play a prank on me one last time, you will be grounded. I will make sure you stay in this house for a week without going out. It’s cause you have lots of freedom that’s why you can disturb me like this.”
Then Mrs Sharma turned around to leave. The servants followed her and Zeenat walked into her room, slamming the door behind her.
That was when Samir came out. He looked at the ground sadly and wondered if he had been to harsh on Zeenat just now. But then, the words she had said in the car that day came back,’ If you tell anyone, you will never see your mama again.’
Even if he is young, he has enough sense to know that Zeenat is one of the people that doesn’t want his mom and dad to be together again.
He frowned and walked to his room. When he got there, he brought out his phone and called the only number on his contact list which is his father.

“What!? What are you saying miss? Please don’t let my boss choke to death. Just show me the kitchen and I’ll go there myself,” Kabeer quickly told Zoya as he looked at Aamir worriedly.
Aamir was coughing so badly that it was as if he was about to cough his lungs out. Zain immediately held Kabeer and showed him the kitchen.
As Kabeer took one step forward, Zoya thr_@tened,“If you go in there, I’ll lock you up. Who knows for how long you will remain there? Maybe one day… Two days… Few months… Some years or… Or even forever.”
Kabeer gulped and took many steps backward. Zoya looked at Aamir and said,“He won’t die. It’s just a little cough.” Everyone looked at her with stunned expression.
Little cough!!? Someone that looks like he’s almost dying. Kashan looked at Aamir worriedly then he whispered to Zoya,“Zoya… I don’t know what beef you have with him but please pardon him. If the CEO dies, the deal will be off. How are we gonna establish our company here then without the powerful CEO?”
Zoya glared at him. “It’s like you are feeling better now right?” Kashan immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be sleeping.
Just then, someone’s phone rang loudly. Everyone looked around until Kabeer removed the phone from Aamir’s pocket. He checked the caller ID and informed his boss,“Sir, it’s the young master that’s calling.”
When Zoya heard the young master, her ears perked up… Is that her Samir calling? Aamir coughed terribly and said,“Ans… Answer it… Loudspeaker…”
Kabeer nodded and answered the call before putting it on loudspeaker. “Papa!,” the sweet honey-like voice of the boy filled the room. Kashan opened his eyes wondering where he has heard that voice before.
Aamir wanted to answer but he coughed instead. “Papa… What is wrong with you? Why are you coughing like that?,” Samir’s worried voice came through the phone.
But Aamir couldn’t reply. Kabeer immediately answered,“Young master, please try calling later. I will take him to the hospital now.”
Just as he was about to hang up the phone, Zoya rushed forward and held his hand. “Let me speak with him,” She whispered, her voice shaky.
Kabeer was puzzled by her words but he still gave her the phone. Zoya sniffled and whispered,“Samir.” There was silence for a while except for the sound of Aamir’s cough.
“Mama!,” Samir suddenly called out and Zoya smiled, quietly cleaning the tears from her face.
Kashan froze. Mama!? It’s that boy from the other day. He looked down at Aamir and felt so much anger in his heart. How did he never notice? So this is the Aamir that cruel lady from the restaurant was talking.
“How are you honey?”
“I miss you mama,” That was his response. Zoya sniffled again. Then he said,“Mama, why is papa coughing? Tell him to drink water. Grandma always gives me water when I cough.”
Zoya nodded and turned to Zain who was standing next to Kabeer. She glared at them and they immediately understood. They both ran into the kitchen and came back almost immediately.
One was carrying jug and the other was holding a cup. As they dropped the jug on the floor, Aamir didn’t even let them pour the water into the cup before he started gulping the water down.
Within minutes, he drained the jug. Samir was happy when he didn’t hear the sound of Aamir coughing anymore so he said,“Mama, Papa drank water right?”
Zoya nodded even though he couldn’t see her. She kissed him through the phone multiple times and said,“Yes… My Samir is a superhero. He is Mama’s little prince.”
Samir laughed and then he asked,“Mama… When are you coming home?” Everyone stared at Zoya with mixed expressions waiting to hear her answer.
Even Aamir who was panting like he just ran a relay race looked up at her. “I am not coming back,” Zoya told him. I know hearts broke then?? and someone was relieved like K.H?
Samir burst into tears immediately, frightening everybody. Even Zoya panicked,“Ssh… Ssh baby…. Why are you crying? Please stop crying. I h@ťě it when you cry… Please stop.”
Samir refused to listen to her. “Mama said she doesn’t love Samir anymore. She doesn’t love Papa too. She doesn’t want to come home again. She doesn’t want Samir anymore,” He cried.
Zoya was astounded. What is this boy saying? When did she say all these? She only said she isn’t coming back. Aamir looked down to hide a smile. He praised Samir inwardly.
‘Seems like having his mother genes is really good for him. They are both stubborn. They won’t agree with anything they don’t want to agree with,’ he thought.
Another name for this situation is when stubbornness clash with stubbornness ?
Hearing Samir’s cries caused distress in her heart so she quickly said,“I was only joking honey. Baby please stop crying. I was just joking.”
Samir immediately stopped crying. I can imagine him laying on the bed as he asked,“So mama when should I expect you? When are you coming? Don’t worry daddy’s bed is big enough for all of us. We can kick dad out of the room and have the bed to ourselves.”
Aamir looked up when he heard that. What!!? What is this little devil saying? Is he ganging up against him? ?
Zoya glared at Aamir and answered,“He can sleep in the compound. There’s enough space for him there. We will be nice enough to give him a thin blanket and wish him happy goodnight with the mosquitoes.”
Aamir gulped in fear. These… These two… Mini devil and she-devil! ?
