Shadows of Destiny

Chapter 4

Dhahab POV

He become hysterical after hearing I hadn't even bought a dress. He started saying I'm a disappointment of a daughter and that he wished that I was never born, and that is was a bad luck for the family. And without me his wife would have been alive. my eyes started to gather tears. Tears of pain I know that he blame me for the death of mom but I never imagined that he hated me being alive, and that he prefers me dead am I really that disgusting for him but who am I to blame him I mean his right if i wasnt born mom would still be alive maybe his right I should just disappear so that they wont suffer every time they see me they wouldn't have to remember the after seeing me. Right now all I wanna do is go house cry in my room.

When I turn around I saw omar standing in front of me looking concerned he asked me why I was crying, i didnt know my tears have fallen I quickly wiped my tears asked him what he was doing he told me that he followed me to workers quarters, when he saw the worried look on my face he also told me that he accidentally heard the conversation with my father and that he have a solution for my problem when I asked him what it was he told me that his sister has dress she made for night programs that are suitable for muslims. I was really glad I thanked him again and again. No problem he said. He told me to bring one mahram so that he could take me to the boutique. So I called hayat and asked her if she could come with me guess what her answer was "oh he is also respectful I think he is fit enough to be my brother in law" all I could do was blush because I cant even deny it I dont wanna deny it. After her fit of laughter she agreed to come. We went to his sisters boutique.

Wow that was the word that come to my mouth every thing here is beautiful but I didnt even get time to admire more of the beauty because his sister Amal has prepared dresses that I could try and boy there was a lot of them so we started trying after 30 min we finally found a black dress that caught my eye I wore it and then while we were doing some natural up makeup my father called I answered when he starts screaming and asking where I was then omar told me to tell him that I will come with him as he was goin as well so I just I told him to send the address and I will come with my friend as he was goin there he then just closed the call. After that the make up took an hour to get done we only have 30 min late until the program starts. and then I heard my phone buzz when I looked at it I saw a message from my father it was the address, after that we finished he told me they were goin as well his sister was also goin as well but she was prepared first so we went out together and we dropped hayat on our way

* they reached the hotel*

After we got out the car I text my father I have reached he text back saying that they are seating on table 5 and then omar told me that their seat was 5 and coincidentally we happen to be on the same table, so we entered fast because we didnt want to interrupt if the program starts.

After we entered I saw my family and another family sitting near the stage I guessed they were Omar and Amals family, and it happened to be that we have drawed attention that every eyes were on us and that was pretty much nerve wraking, we reached the table and when I saw my father and brothers they have an angry look on their face. Maybe it was because I was late but they look very angry for it to be just that, I just quietly sat down beside Fauzan because he is the tolerable in my family by that I mean he ignores me and dosent talk to me. I mean that's better than insults right, I mean he give me death glares but he is not harsh like hamza, Omar also sat beside me then Amal beside Amal there was a little boy I think that he is there little brother then their are older couples sitting who I think are the parents so their are nine of us sitting in one table. While I was thinking that I heard the host say.

"Ladies and gentlemen"

Oh the program is starting I thought so I turned all my attention to the program I will worry about there angry faces later,even though I'm still wondering why he called me here I mean he always took my brothers to this kind of events as they are the heirs but why was I needed here that's my question, I came back to reality when I heard my father name being called Mr Ahmed Fursan came to the stage I was confused as why he was called looking my confused face omar figured out that I wasn't listening so he told me that my father was called by being the best business man of the year I then saw my father went up the stage and received his award, he wasnt even smiling for the camera he just stood their with his cold look I mean it would have been weird the if he smiled, the only time he has ever smiled is when my mother was alive and when my brothers achieve something but when he looked at me he looks at me with disgust that I wish I disappear sometimes after receiving his award he talked some things about business and thank some of his friends, he even sayed his thankful for god that he gave him two sons that made him proud, he obviously said that to me as he was looking at me while talking.
