Chapter 2 :: Before the mess even started
410 Words
So......we will go back to the time when Insiyaa Hayat Raichand's care taker whom she calles Amma was still alive.
It was time when doctor discovered Jubeyda Amma had uterus cancer......Everyone in Raichand havelli was in deep thinking,.....
to be honest Rahat and Shawkat were shocked!
Insiyaa remained still!
And Amma, she was in tear,.......
"probably thinking about how after all those prayers of day and night, this is the punishment Allah gifted her with ?"
According to Insiyaa!
But what she didn’t know was that.....Amma's biggest fear was to leave her two unmarried granddaughter alone, she knew they had no one left here in India,.....
in this world!
Soon as she gone, they will be alone!
Sob raked through her now frail body......
If only she'd gotten two good family, so she could get her young grand
daughters married into.......but Alas!
No such luck!
first of all......every good family in India demands dowry no,.. Let's correct it, nowadays It's called HELP, GIFTS ......, may it be among Hindus or Muslims!
No matter how much of an important figure Amma was amongst Raichands, she was ever so grateful for how Amarendra and Ahana Raichand took three of them in, taken good care of them, fed them, clothed them, never let any of them as an outsider but a family....... she was still just a mere Housekeeper, after Ahana Raichand died after Insiyaa's birth!
she was an outsider and she never forgot that,.....she lived ever so humbly and even taught her granddaughters to lived like that too and was successful with only one of them!
Rushda Rahil, now 21 years old, typical Pakistani beauty with fair skin, black eyes, oval face,......very straightforward with words, came to Rajasthan, India when she was mere 6-7 years old with Amma AKA her grandmother from her father's side......
safe to say she never felt at home in this havelli, in this city......
in this country!
But Ruthba Rahil, the younger one,.....she was different!
Soft face with even softer attitude, always covering up for her elder sister--her confidante and best friend to Insiyaa, even though Insiyaa was much younger than both of the sister!......
Calm and composed, her Outlook to the world was different yet not so different!
Instead of fighting the odds, she would go with the flow!
Contrary to both Ruthba and Insiyaa, but where it irritated the hell out off Rushda sometimes but time to time Insiyaa took lesson from it.......
Well.....sometimes!
