The maid disturbed their moment, she informed them about breakfast. Fawaz smiled. He is feeling like he has gotten his family back, his wife and his kids having breakfast together, joking, smiling, playing, and laughing together. As they had breakfast, Fawaz is on cloud nine but then his dream broke as the doorbell rang.

Kiah smiled widely getting up from her seat when Behrad walked in. The kids too smiled widely yelling, 'Behrad...' they ran towards him, he bent down picking them in his arms and hugs them tight. Kiah smiled looking at them.

Fawaz looked on, seeing his wife and kids happy with someone else is hurting him. They seem happier with Behrad.

Behrad is surprised seeing Fawaz here, Fawaz simply smiled at him and then quickly looked down at his plate picking up a morsel of omelet and shoving it in his mouth.

'Come Behrad, have breakfast with us' Kiah said, she then turned to the maid gesturing her to come to the kitchen. Together they disappeared inside the seashell curtain.

'You here' Behrad asked taking a seat opposite Fawaz, he looked at him taking a sip of orange juice from his glass.

'Yeah, this morning I was passing by here and decided to pay a visit to Dr. Zubair but found out he is not here.' he said not looking at Behrad but staring at his plate.

Behrad nodded

'So, when is the wedding?' Fawaz asked

'I don't know' Behrad said sadly. Fawaz looked up, Behrad read his expressions and as though reading his mind he answered, 'Kiah is still married to someone else, that coward has tied her with himself and left her.' he sounded disgusted, Fawaz gulped a morsel of his breakfast

'I love Kiah, and I am willing to accept her with her past but she still seems to be in love with her husband, so many times we insisted her to divorce him but she said she will wait for a divorce from his side....' Behrad sighed sadly

Maha is waiting for a divorce from him, but she has forgotten all about him, right? This is confusing now

'Kiah...she knows about her husband?' Fawaz asked inquisitively.

'She has a faint idea...doesn't remember much nor wants to talk about it.' Behrad explained clearly the doubt.

Fawaz nodded thoughtfully, 'But then she is here and her husband is in Delhi, how will he know she is waiting for a divorce from his side, what if he is waiting for her to return?' Fawaz said mindlessly, he then stopped on noticing Behrad's suspicious gaze on him.

'How do you know her husband is in Delhi?' he said his tone flat.

Fawaz gulped

Fawaz looked at Behrad who is eyeing him suspiciously, he is about to cover up when Kiah walked in carrying a plate of freshly made Rotis and Omelette, the maid followed her carrying a glass of juice.

'What are you guys talking about?' she asked taking her seat beside Behrad.

'Nothing, general men talk.' Fawaz said before Behrad could. He then looked at Behrad, he is still eyeing him suspiciously as though joining the dots.

'Really?' Kiah said nudging Behrad, Fawaz slightly shook his head sideways, his eyes pleading him to not speak about their little talk.

Behrad looked at Kiah, she is resting her chin on her palm and looking hopefully at Behrad, Behrad nodded affirmatively.

Kiah sighed placing her palms on the table, 'you guys are so boring.' she exclaimed. Then the kids came. One of them were holding a plane and one a train.

'Uncle, a plane is better ya train?' one of the boys holding the plane asked Fawaz. He first looked at Behrad and then at the boys, inwardly he is happy that the boys came to him and not Behrad.

Kiah tried to stop the kids but they had held Fawaz's hand and dragged him into their rooms demanding that he play with them.

'Amazing how fast kids connected with Fawaz' Kiah commented making Fawaz smile widely, of course, they will, after all, he is their father.

*************************

After a while, as Fawaz and the kids played Behrad entered the room.

'Fawaz, I need to talk to you' he said, Fawaz knew what he wanted to talk about. He nodded his head.

The kids are disappointed as Fawaz got up and with Behrad they walked towards the window. One of the boys urged the other and they began playing again.

'You are Fawaz Malik, Kiah's husband, right?' he asked straight away.

Fawaz looked at him and then gave a small nod, he noticed Behrad fisting his fingers tightly. Fawaz knew if kids weren't here he would have been punched.

'Haven't you troubled her enough? Why have you come back?' he asked through gritted teeth, Fawaz realized Behrad is trying hard to control his anger.

'I came here to rectify my mistake' Fawaz said.

'Kiah isn't going back to you' Behrad said flatly

Fawaz wanted to reply but he chose to keep silent, 'I love Kiah more than anything, I will not let you harm her again...and if I find you here again...then you will have it from me' he warned snapping his fingers and pointing his index finger towards Fawaz, Behrad is glaring at him while Fawaz stood there, expressionless.

'I love her too.' Is what Fawaz wanted to say, but he kept quiet.

'Hey uncle' one of the boys called, he waved at Fawaz. Fawaz is about to walk when Behrad held his arm.

'Beta, Faheem. Uncle has some important work, he needs to go' Behrad said and the boys started to protest, Behrad glared at them but the boys didn't stop. Fawaz walked up to them and gently patted their shoulder

'Behrad is right (he turned to look at Behrad who is glaring at him) I need to go.' Fawaz said and both the boys looked at him

'Promise, you will come again.' one of them said, Fawaz smiled and leaning over he kissed both of their foreheads. Both the boys are now pouting looking at him with puppy dog eyes.

It is hard for Fawaz but he must leave. The boys ran towards their mother who is in the living room working on her laptop.

'Ma...Ma...stop... uncle...please.' the boys said in unison pouncing on their mother, she is startled but then she looked at Fawaz who is now walking towards the coat rack. He grabbed his coat

'Where are you going, Fawaz?' Kiah interrupted him, he looked at her, and just then Behrad also entered the living room.

'I have some urgent work.' Fawaz said avoiding her gaze and wearing his overcoat. Kiah is about to say something when Behrad interrupted her, 'Let him go na, love. He must have some urgent work.' he sat beside Kiah throwing his arm around her.

Fawaz looked away and walked towards the door, the kids come to him protesting while Kiah sat there watching Fawaz, something about his body language made her suspicious. He somehow coaxed the kids and left with a heavy heart, he didn't want to leave but he must if he doesn't want Maha or the kids to get more attached to him, also if he stays it might create drift between Maha and Behrad and he is hoping at least Behrad to be with her to turn to once she knows the truth.
