Coerced To Be His by Yarmia Tariq (room on the broom read aloud .TXT) 📕

They both breathed heavily as they maintained their contact, their foreheads joined. She didn't wanted to think about anything at the moment.  
I kissed him back, she thought. She never intended to but she was caught in the moment. Why he always act rashly when he can be a good man too? She thought in frustration and got back, stepping away from him.  
 

"I don't know what reason you have to make me stay, but I want you to let me go with my baby afterwards.” She said confidently.  
 

“I cant stay with you” she said again.  
 

“Don’t say ‘cant’, just say you don’t want to. It’s fine with me. But I want my son to live with me. I’ve told you enough reasons for that. I won’t stop you ever from meeting him anytime. You can come whenever you want” he said trying to convince her as she didn’t budge.   
 

“Try to understand Umer! He’s just a baby, how can you take him away from me?” she said as she couldn’t take it anymore.  
 

“Then stay here until he grows up” he said making his final statement.  
 

“Why can’t you just let me go? I’m tired of you! I started a new life without you and you just came again to ruin me! Do you even know how I gave birth to him whom you wanted to kill so desperately and now just claim him ‘as your son’?” She protested again, not able to digest his words.  
 

“I’m sorry for everything I did to you until now. But I won’t let you go, just stay with me until he grows to be on his own without you. He needs a father and mother under the same roof. You can leave afterwards, I won’t stop you” he said as he simply hid the fact that he knew everything about her all these months. He knew every second of pain she went through because he himself fought the same battle.  
 

Moreover his father was in critical situation now and he wanted to spend his last days with him, wanted to ask for forgiveness but the recent attack didn’t let him step a foot out of the house. He was in agony and he didn’t wanted to suffer more. That’s why he wanted to keep her in front of his eyes, in his protection so he can be relieved to see her and his son.  
She couldn’t fought anymore with him. He was not a good man in her eyes but still he was the father of her son. As he spit out the facts, she realized that it was his son’s rights to utilize all the comfort his father was ready to give him. And what can she give him? Just love?  
Love is not enough to live, it don’t feed you to stay alive, it don’t warm you in cold nights, it cant give you all the necessities you need.  
And sensibly, obviously every child wants a mother and father under the same roof. Children don’t get mature all of sudden to realize the reasons of their parents separation.  
She can not give him what he needs, while his father can give him all the world. She was not selfish, she was ready to sacrifice herself for her son.  
She remained silent, and stepped towards her baby, moving away from him.  
She leaned down and looked at her son, who just resembled his father. She kissed his forehead and then laid down with him, placing her hand on his tummy, embracing him.  
He simply looked at her, not able to take it that she just got convinced by his words?  
As she closed her eyes to sleep, he was still astonished.  
I forced her, he thought. He again proved himself as a selfish and immoral man. He used his son to make her stay. He knew she was sensitive about him, she loved him more than anything and now he used it as excuse to make her stay. He felt himself extremely guilty about it.  
But the actual reason, he couldn’t disclose in front of her. Let her think what a beast I am, he thought and then took out his clothes from his wardrobe. After dressing himself he left the room quietly.  
She reopened her eyes. The more she felt herself helpless, the more she couldn’t engulf his changed behavior. He never begged her, he always enforced everything.

He went into his courtyard where his all men were at his command.  
His left hand man moved forward, “sir everything is done. Your right hand will arrive tomorrow as we will assure to provide him all the necessities he need until he fully recovers”  
 

“Prepare a flight to Karachi now” he ordered.  
 

“okay sir” he went away immediately.  
 

After ending his online meeting with his secretary, he made sure that everything was going on in rhythm. He planned the attack on his rivals with his important men after his return from Karachi. He made sure that everyone one of them faces such a punishment that they never even think about it again.  
The maid prepared his bag as he ordered and then he left the house for airport in the middle of the night.  
After a two hour flight, he landed in Karachi. The driver from his home was already present there, he sat in immediately. The car was driven to his home in one hour.  
The driver opened the door and he got out. None of his parents were there to greet him like before. And it struck his heart badly.  
He went inside and only the caretaker of his house greeted him.  
 

“where are my parents?” he asked desperately.  
 

“Your father is very serious. We wanted to take him to hospital but he insisted on staying at home. So we called a doctor at home. They all are currently in his room” she informed him politely.  
He went in the direction of their room instantly.  
The door was open and he entered. A doctor was standing beside his bed while his mother sat beside his father, who was laid on the bed. The nurse was injecting him injections on the right arm whereas his left arm was hooked on the IV.  
 

“Umer?” He caught her mother’s attention.  
 

“dad? What happened to you? And why are you not going to hospital?” he couldn’t control himself anymore as he rushed towards him.
