Severance Of Ties novel Chapter 10

Chapter Ten

He knew there was a tension present in the air.

Clearing his throat he gains there attention and then uneasily looks here and there at the sudden attention of everyone.

"What have you all decide?" His ears turn pink in embarrassment, he looks down rubbing his nape.

"Child,she has agreed to it, but denied for a lavish wedding..." Mushk's future mother in law was saying when Irtaza rudely interrupted her.

"That is really insensitive of you, you know how her family is struggling yet you want a grand function?" Irtaza angrily asks the lady.

“What will my friends say? People will gossip about it!" Zohan's mother tried protesting, but her attempts went futile, as she was speaking to Irtaza Ali ,who was as stubborn as a mule and as hard as a nut.

"People can also gossip on the fact that the bride’s brother is in in the hospital and she is having such a luxurious wedding." Irtaza's reply instantly shuts her up.

Mushk wanted to scream, to cry and tell them to stop, she didn't want to do this but just because of her nephews she kept quiet. She knew she wouldn't be able to take care of them alone. They needed protection and what protection would be better than her husband’s in the absence of her father and brother.

The wedding was finalized, it was supposed to be held on the coming Saturday, and the sending off of the bride will be on the same day.

Mushk strictly said no to any reception, saying that it can be held after her brother wakes up, making her mother in law a bit upset.

Mushk was frustrated at the lady. How hard was it for her to understand that she couldn't just pretend to be happy, when her family was fighting with death every moment.
