The Truth of Zoboria
151Please respect copyright.PENANAKZ5D0tWzM0
Shadows of the past suddenly descended into Zoboria’s eyes. Her lips trembled, but she tried to hold back her tears. Abuzaar’s gaze was still fixed on her—waiting for an answer.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAfthvOyHrqg
Zoboria slowly looked towards Alina, as if the innocence of her breaths was giving her strength. Then, in a trembling voice, she began to speak:
151Please respect copyright.PENANAXOLBqcYztL
> Zoboria (hesitantly):
“Abuzar… Alina is not my daughter.
She is my sister’s child.
My sister—Zamiya… is no longer in this world.”
151Please respect copyright.PENANACB2C5Qtf0C
151Please respect copyright.PENANAi68XnGlnbX
151Please respect copyright.PENANA0QfK3mS5aa
Her voice suddenly choked. Tears slipped from her lashes and rolled down her cheeks.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAzogNba2Guz
> Zoboria (in a pained tone):
“Zamiya was married to Zareen.
Yes, the same Zareen—my uncle’s son.
Everyone thought that this match was good for Zamiya… but who knew her life would be extinguished so soon?”
151Please respect copyright.PENANAFeA7rgp8YA
151Please respect copyright.PENANANbtEWiOWFD
151Please respect copyright.PENANAJafmCbq8mn
A sudden silence spread across the room. Even the hum of the heater no longer reached Abuzar’s ears. Only Zoboria’s broken voice remained—and the snow falling outside.

The Stolen Relationship
151Please respect copyright.PENANAmWFDoFc0A6
Zoboria tried, in vain, to wipe her tears and continued speaking:
151Please respect copyright.PENANAiOiIeK6SI0
> Zoboria:
“When Zamiya passed away… Alina was very young.
That innocent child was torn from her mother’s arms.
We all tried to care for her… but Zareen—
Zareen took her away with him.
And from that day… Alina left us.”
151Please respect copyright.PENANAdX1ABRVbrt
151Please respect copyright.PENANAlRgpR5piGp
151Please respect copyright.PENANAEUPTrU5d7Z
Her voice broke apart completely.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAHErKr7eK5H
> Zoboria (lowering her eyes):
“Abuzaar… you cannot imagine…
how many years I spent yearning just to see Alina once.
I loved my niece as though she were my own daughter.
But she was snatched away from me…
my parents, even I, could not keep her close.”

Abuzaar’s Silence
151Please respect copyright.PENANAYeQabZ63Lr
Abuzaar stood frozen like stone. His anger, his accusations—they all seemed to melt away.
Before his eyes was not Zoboria’s face, but the torment of a broken sister—and in that torment lay the entire strength of truth.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAlAVN0u2qNk
He whispered softly:
151Please respect copyright.PENANAUfWCBXqx1t
> Abuzaar (in a heavy voice):
“So… Alina is your sister’s trust…
not your own child?”
151Please respect copyright.PENANABRgNnqN8ry
151Please respect copyright.PENANATUXcbpVDAz
151Please respect copyright.PENANAFLy8skmf7X
Zoboria nodded, tears brimming in her eyes.

Ashes of the Past, Flame of the Present
151Please respect copyright.PENANALxAiPbyv5e
Outside, the blanket of snow was growing thicker. But inside the room, their silence had reached a new turning point.
151Please respect copyright.PENANA2F8Mqd53eM
Zoboria spoke in a weary tone:
151Please respect copyright.PENANADajVpyqDwb
> Zoboria:
“Abuzaar… I hid this truth because…
I was afraid… afraid you would think there was another story in my life, another relationship.
I made Alina a part of my life—because she is the last memory of my Zamiya.
My sister is gone… but I could never abandon her daughter.”
151Please respect copyright.PENANAcvcABjUKUo
151Please respect copyright.PENANAXd3r8WXk31
151Please respect copyright.PENANAa1LUbxPyem
Her eyes overflowed again, and this time she did not try to stop them.
151Please respect copyright.PENANABM97i5LCEX
151Please respect copyright.PENANAoUaTPmV6t3

151Please respect copyright.PENANAj6QVNJZy0m
Now in Abuzaar’s eyes there was no accusation—only deep thought and a shade of shame.
151Please respect copyright.PENANArHLkjJIw1g
He held Zoboria’s hand.
151Please respect copyright.PENANABI9cYjMoDK
> Abuzaar (softly):
“Zobo… if you had told me this truth earlier…
perhaps I would have understood your pain sooner.
But today, now… I promise you—
whether Alina is your sister’s trust or a piece of your love…
I will accept her as my own daughter.”
151Please respect copyright.PENANA54OK3ekXoI
151Please respect copyright.PENANAlNGuHBvEGt
151Please respect copyright.PENANAgthdj4p4ZN
Zoboria’s heart felt light for the first time.
Her tears still flowed—but now they carried the glimmer of hope.

Alina’s Belonging
151Please respect copyright.PENANA55m2QmbZvz
For the first time, a softness descended into Abuzaar’s eyes—the kind Zoboria had only seen in dreams.
In his hand was her trembling one, but his grip no longer held blame—only certainty.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAvNm1TnBNXk
> Abuzaar (quiet but assured):
“Zobo… from today, Alina is not just your sister’s memory.
She is our daughter.
I will accept her as I would accept my own blood.”
151Please respect copyright.PENANA3rhn5mFrJJ
151Please respect copyright.PENANAGfGgJRQM1Q
151Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5DbJj7qRu
Tears rolled from Zoboria’s lashes like pearls. She opened her trembling lips, but no words escaped.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAY6CO8RRFRo
Before her eyes flashed Alina’s innocent face—the same face she prayed for every night.

The Sound of Small Footsteps
151Please respect copyright.PENANAeYed0k97G3
Just then, there was a soft knock at the door.
Both Zoboria and Abuzaar turned—
Alina stood there, rubbing her sleepy eyes.
151Please respect copyright.PENANACuNt80Xym0
With innocence, she asked:
151Please respect copyright.PENANAEU250HqHEm
> Alina:
“Ammi… why are you crying?”
151Please respect copyright.PENANAeJ8yQvKZcU
151Please respect copyright.PENANAFQW5MBLKzN
151Please respect copyright.PENANAxch1rYCHwK
Zoboria quickly wiped her tears.
A faint smile appeared on Abuzaar’s lips.
For the first time, he was seeing the child—not as Zoboria’s burden, but as his own tomorrow.
151Please respect copyright.PENANA7nlpB311UV
He stepped forward, bent down, and lifted Alina in his arms.
151Please respect copyright.PENANA2ptUUXyA4Y
> Abuzaar (in a tender tone):
“Alina… from today, you are not just your mother’s daughter,
you are mine too.”
151Please respect copyright.PENANAh6LZNRzdek
151Please respect copyright.PENANAZY8FzDzhwz
151Please respect copyright.PENANAIkrUDxp1YB
Alina looked up at him in surprise.
A gentle smile touched her lips as she wrapped her tiny arms around Abuzaar’s neck.
151Please respect copyright.PENANA68259R3fgn
> Alina (softly):
“Abbu…”

A Broken Heart, Souls Reunited
151Please respect copyright.PENANAOnaduOg4O6
That single word—Abbu—sank deep into Abuzaar’s heart.
It was a word that washed away his anger, his doubts, his burdens.
151Please respect copyright.PENANAn3DETEW6lT
His eyes too filled with tears.
Zoboria stood by the door, weeping, but this time her tears were not of pain—they were tears of relief and gratitude.
151Please respect copyright.PENANA1eiI0cYTzD
There was no great light in the room, only the faint warmth of the heater and the silence of snow falling outside.
But within that silence, a new bond had been born—
a father with his daughter,
and a husband with his wife.
