'Oh no, Zainab will kill us. And I mean literally!' stated Christian

'Yeah and not before she tortures us, so much that we want to die' added Syed

'We need to think of a strategy,' started Masood, the others nodded in agreement. 'Well I think we have two options; tell her straight out that you two are back together or take the softly, softly approach'

'Meaning?' inquired Christian.

'Meaning, I go in on my own and let her and then you two come in.'

'But surely that isn't safe! You would be on your own! It would be like suicide!' exclaimed Christian.

'She's not that bad' sighed Syed. Christian just stared at Syed, 'okay maybe she is, but still.' The conversation went on like this for several hours. Until they decided a united front would be the best option. They walked across the square; Syed had walked this root so many times. He found it hard to believe this could be the last time. As they approached the front door Masood turn to Christian and said it was probably best that he delay his entry for about a minute. Just so they could get Zainab into the safety of the living room. Christian agreed. Masood and Syed entered the house, leaving the door open slightly so Christian could get in. When they entered the house Tamwar was walking down the stairs with Kmail. 'Tamwar take Kmail up stairs and stay there!' ordered Masood

'What!' gasped Tamwar, and turn to Syed 'What have you done now?'

'Tamwar just go!' Shouted Masood

'Okay, okay, keep your wig on!' after that Tamwar turned and went up stairs.

'What's with all the shouting?' commented Zainab as she entered the hall from the kitchen. 'So you are back? What excuse is it this time? The cure wasn't working?'

'Zee, be quiet, go and sit in the living room' instructed Masood. Zainab didn't make a fuss (for once) and did as she was told. They entered the living room and sat down. Syed lagged behind and open the door a bit more so Christian new that is was time. And as soon as Syed entered the living Christian wasn't far behind.

'WHAT IS HE DOING HERE!' Shouted Zainab

'He is here to talk' said Masood calmly.

'Talk about what there is nothing to talk about!' stated Zainab.

'Yea, there is' Christian spoke

'Shut up! You... you... pervert!'

'DON'T CALL HIM THAT!' Shouted Syed

'Everyone stay calm.' Masood tried to keep the peace. He turned to Zainab 'I have given them my blessing.'

'You did what!' screamed Zainab.

'I have seen him with Christian and he is the happiest I have every seen him.'

'I don't care!' she scream 'If you continue with this... this... relationship, then you do it outside of Allah's love and your family' she said calmly.

'NO HE DOESN'T!' Masood 'Allah will still love him and so will I and Tamwar. It is just you!'

'GET OUT, EVERYONE!' screamed Zainab. At that moment she pushed everyone out of the room and then out of the house. She locked the door and collapsed in tears. Tamwar was coming down the stairs, 'what is going on? Mum, what's the matter?'

On the other side of the door, Syed was crying and in Christian's arms. Masood just stood there shocked. 'What do we do now' asked Syed through the tears.
