After three months
Meher's p.o.v
" And, the best architect award goes to Meher Afroz Khan for her outstanding design for the most prestigious hotel ' Hotel Royal Blue," the host declared and I couldn't control my emotions.
I immediately stood up and gave Mehrab and Mehmet in Adeel Bhaiya's arm. I heard my brother Asif is congratulating me along with Haniya Ji.
Well, I am here in the design icon award organised by the Architect community.
I walked towards the stage and received the award. The host told me to say some words about my achievement.
I took the mic from the host's hand and started saying," First of all, I want to thank my Almighty for showing me the right path always and helping me. I am grateful to my family members for supporting me always and I am dedicating this award to my little boys. They are the biggest strength of mine."
After that, I heard a loud clapping sound. I looked at my brothers who are looking at me with their teary eyes. I also noticed my both munchkins excited face. I smiled brightly looking at them.
Then, I thanked the audience and came down from the stage. I don't know why I missed Sehreyar here. I wanted to show him that I am not any mistress. I have the ability to establish my own identity.
I walked towards my family members and my children jumped on me excitedly.
" Mamma, you won a prize. Yey......" Mehrab and Mehmet both said in unison and kissed my cheeks.
I patted their head gently when Adeel bhaiya said smiling," I am proud of you. I am happy that I have a sister like you."
" Thanks, bhaiya," I replied and looked at Haniya Ji.
She gave me a warm smile and said," Congratulation. You deserve this award."
I just nodded my head politely and asked her," Do you still think that I shouldn't have sent your brother into jail?"
She looked at me with her wide eyes after hearing my questions. She wasn't expecting this question.
" All is about Karma. My brother is paying for his karma. I don't blame you," She said sadly.
We all became quiet for some time. An awkward silence takes over the whole atmosphere.
" We should celebrate this achievement," We heard Asif's excited voice. I know he is trying to lighten up this gloomy atmosphere.
Then, Adeel bhaiya said smiling," Yes, let's celebrate."
I also agreed with them and Haniya Ji also agreed with us.
