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

The best thing about time is that it passes no matter what happens. Sometimes it  brings cruelty but sometimes it brings peace. After all time doesn't remain same for the whole life. You have to pass through the devastated times in order to become a diamond, pure of any dirt after remaining in it for million of years.

"We are getting late Fatima. I have to go to a meeting afterwards too." Abaan's frustrated voice echoed in the corridor as Fatima yelled back.

"It's not me it's your daughter who isn't ready to take a bath." Fatima's voice came to Abaan causing him to get into the room throwing his car keys on the couch of the living room. He entered the bathroom to find her wife and her small bundle of joy, Ferya, who was in the bathtub throwing her hands in air to stop Fatima from washing her. 

Abaan who came all frustrating smiled at them as Ferya started clapping her hands while giggling sending bliss to her parent's ears. Ferya entered their lives to fill the gap that was meant for her to invade. The day when Fatima got fainted was one of the turning points of Abaan's life. First he thought he wouldn't breathe when doctor was checking her life but when doctor told him about a new member coming in his life, he forgot to breathe. He wasn't even ready to let Fatima in his life but then he knelt down in front of his heart but now a new one, his child, was coming which made him terrified. Fatima knew he wasn't showing he is afraid but she knew like he loved her he would love his child too and it happened when Abaan hold Ferya in his hands in the hospital in front of everyone. Charlie made him hold her as he was afraid. 

Abaan took that small soul in his large bulky arms as it seemed like if he applied a little force he would break her. Everyone went out of the room as they left three of them alone. Fatima cried as she saw a tear falling from his eyes while kissing Ferya's invisible nose and then cheeks.

"S. She I..is my daughter. My daughter." Abaan's voice croaked as he gulped something in his throat, probably tears. 

"She is our daughter." Fatima said as he approached her with Ferya slowly. It felt like he was holding a time bomb so he was carrying her very gently. "But daughters are more close to fathers I heard. ". Abaan said holding Ferya's tiny fist and pecking her every feature. 

"Who said that , both boys and girls are closed to mothers. More than father " Fatima said sniffing. She didn't like what he said. 

"Okay. Let's find out. Give me boys too and then we will figure out." Abaan said in mischief making Fatima blush. 

"Don't think about it for almost 6 months." Fatima said in a firm manner.

" What? WHY SIX MONTHS." Abaan shrieked and the time bomb exploded making both of them startled.

"It's all your fault." Fatima said while Abaan was cooing her daughter but Ferya wasn't in mood to stop crying.

"Why my daughter isn't getting ready?" Abaan's voice brought Fatima back to the present. Abaan sat beside her as he took the shampoo from Fatima's hand and start massaging her scalp. Abaan was right girls are more to close to their father. 

"I am going to get ready while you get your daughter ready. " Fatima said while kissing Ferya's face making her chirp.

"Where's is mine?" Abaan said he felt ignored. 

" Take your kiss from your daughter." Fatima smirked as she unzipped her back to get ready into her baby pink floral dress placed on the bed. They were going to meet Daniel as he met an accident yesterday night. How? That Fatima didn't know but surely Abaan did but wasn't ready to tell her. 

"Nevermind I would take it when I will come back." Abaan said as he gawked at her while licking his bottom lip making a shiver to pass down her spine. She still wasn't used to his intense eyes with full of lust and he still hadn't have enough of her. 

"We'll see " Fatima said as she went outside the bathroom as Abaan turned towards his daughter who was playing with the bubbles.

"You are seeing right. How your mother is torching me. She doesn't want me to focus on my business." Abaan said as Ferya looked at him with eyes like she understood her father's grief.

"Okay I myself don't want to focus when it comes to your mother but it's not all my fault. Who gave her right to rule my heart and brain hn?" Abaan said as he washed shampoo from her and started wrapping her in her white small towel. 

After a minute he came outside where Fatima was already waiting for him. 

"And now who is making us late." Fatima irked an eyebrow as Abaan gave Ferya to Fatima. 

"It's not me it's your daughter and I am seeing you got the nerve to tease me hn?" Abaan said while he caged her between his bulky arms as she gulped. 

"So, I can and we are getting late." Fatima said as she pushed him with her other hand while the other one was holding Ferya.  

"Fine, but just keep thinking the ways of how can I make you sure that I am the one who is still the pro in these dirty games " Abaan said as he captured her soft petals into his rough ones. Kissing her to swell. They hurried towards Daniel home.

They entered his house as they directly went towards Daniel's room but got startled when they saw a girl with puffy eyes indicating that she cried. Daniel immediately released her hand as Abaan and Fatima gave him a knowing smile. The girl herself got blushed as she maintained a decent distance between them.

"Assalamualaikum. I am Aliha Wali" The girl said as she forwarded her hand to meet Fatima but Fatima instead hugged her as she like that girl. Aliha smiled as she immediately responded. 

"I think we disturb you guys." Abaan said with mischievousness in his eyes as he got himself settled on the couch.

"Yes you did." Daniel said with sour mood. They seriously disturbed them.

"No you didn't I was just going." Aliha said as she placed her hair flick behind her ear looking flushed.
