Mafia's Dawn by Petillant Alba (red seas under red skies txt) 📕

"I want to go to my parents right now " She stood up saying maintaining a distance from him as he looked at her with hurt. He didn't want his life to endure anything because of him but still he couldn't leave mafia's world so easily. It would endanger everyone's life especially hers.

"My love I can't live without you. And it's your first time so it would soon end." Abaan said standing up from the bed. But she stepped back not wanting him to come near her.

"Why don't you understand? I want a break. I want to meet my parents. I don't want to die before meeting them." Fatima said as she face palmed her face for crying. Abaan grabbed her by her waist and pulled her to him. She didn't protest as she hugged him and started crying on his shoulder while he started caressing her hairs. He knew she wanted to take everything out. 

"I want to meet them right now " After few minutes she said in her hoarse voice.

"Fine. But you will come back. I can't live without you." Abaan said as he removed her tears from her cheek. She felt relieved as she was finally going to meet her parents. 

"Let's go." They went downstairs as he grabbed her hand in his in a firm manner. Everyone was still there as they informed them they were going to her parents. Sufyan had also come by then as they walked out. 

"I would pick you up in night okay?" Abaan asked as she looked at him angrily. 

"What?" Abaan raised his eyebrow.

"No. I won't come in night. I am meeting then after so many days. I want to spend more time with them." Fatima said as he glared at her but diverted his attention on the road when she glared him back.

"You can meet them tomorrow too. I don't want to sleep without you " Abaan said with love to persuade her but to no avail.

"Are you going to promise me or not?" Alaina said as he stopped the car in front of her house. Her heart suddenly felt heavy as she was seeing her home after so many days.

"What promise?" Abaan said as he grabbed the steering wheel. He wasn't planning to go inside to meet her parents.

"That you will never kill anybody. You will leave this bad things." Alaina asked with hope as he sighed.

" Janum, I can't do this. It's..." He was saying when she get down from the car crying shutting the door loudly and ran inside her house. Abaan rested his head on the steering wheel as he didn't know what to do now. He wanted her to feel relaxed that's why he agreed to drop her off to her parents as seeing him she would again remember everything. For him Fatima was everything but he couldn't leave mafia's world. He was king of mafia. There were many waiting for his death to take the charge. He couldn't give then the position so easily as they would kill him first after getting the crown of mafia. He did so many things and sacrificed his time and wishes to become the king of mafia. 

Fatima entered the house as there was silence in the ground floor so she went upstairs to find her mother in her room praying. 

"Mother." She hugged her from behind as her mother gasped. She couldn't believe Fatima was in front of her. She rained kisses on her face with tears in her eyes. 

"Are you alright? Did they hurt you?" She asked as Fatima smiled at her. She really wanted to tell that the monster was now her husband and she loved him.

"No, I am fine. They did nothing to me. I missed you a lot." Fatima said as she rested her head on her mother's lap while she started caressing her hairs.

"Where's baba?" Fatima asked.

"He is gone for work." She told.

"But the store was fired." Fatima asked.

" Yes, but only half portion. We started again." Her mother said as she decided to talk about it with Abaan as he did that so he should fix everything. 

"What? Did he force you?" Her mother gasped when she told her about her marriage. 

"Yes initially but he cares for me. And I love him." Fatima said as she turned crimson while saying that. She didn't have the audacity to say that in front of him as she was still shy in some cases.

"Let's make something good for you. Get up." They both stood up as her mother went outside while Fatima folded the prayer mat. She remembered she hadn't eaten anything and her stomach was growling. She was relieved as her heart was lightened seeing her mother and her home. 

"I am home." Her father's voice echoed as she ran from the kitchen to meet him. She hugged him as he first couldn't believe in the sight in front of him then he hugged her back. Her mother smiled as they both had tears in their eyes. 

"How he allowed you?" Her father still couldn't believe how that monster allowed her to meet them.

"I asked and he did." Fatima looked at her mother as she didn't know how to tell her father about her marriage. 

"I never met so stubborn and cruel man in my entire life. Now you are here you would not go to him again." Her father said taking bite of his food. 

"Baba." Fatima got anxious hearing him so was her mother." He is my husband now." She blurted out.

He was shocked first then raged as he didn't like Abaan after what he had done to them.

"Baba listen to me. He is just concern about her sister that's why he did that to..." Fatima tried to make him understand.

" Enough! You won't go back to him. He forced you for this marriage right?" He asked as she nodded her head. He forced her but everything was normal after that.

"B-but..." She was saying but her father stood up from the chair and went inside. Fatima looked at her mother as she sighed. She had to ask Abaan to seek forgiveness from her father but he wouldn't do that as Aima was in that condition because of him.

°°°

She was about to go to sleep after talking to her mother for few hours. Her father also came back to normal mood as she didn't talk to him about Abaan again. Her phone started ringing as she attended seeing Abaan's name on the screen. He had saved his name with husband instead of his name.
