Chapter 40

• Somewhere in the Black Eagles Main House lives a fragile soul. Silently standing at shore observing the peaceful sea before the storm. Whatever was the cause of this storm doesn't concern her. She was only afraid of the consequences of it. In her small span of life, she has witnessed and experienced many storms, but the intensity of this one was making her soul tremble. Natasha's restlessness is not hidden from her eyes. She was like a mother to Shahina, just as Amma-Bi and she knows the eyes of her mother, the small lines on her forehead which others usually ignores. She overheard Natasha's talking on phone about Yawar's presence in Shareefabad. He was here, but not even once tried to come to the Main House. Natasha was here for a long stay and Kanwal came too. Everything was too good to be true and she can sense it perfectly. Her consciousness screams from anxiety but her heart was in denial.
• "Shahina, why are you sitting here alone like this?" Shahina raised her face from knees to see Amma-Bi standing at the door of her room.
• "It's peaceful here." She answered putting her face on her knees again.
