“I’m writing this letter with a very heavy heart,which i can’t really tell how my heart is aching right now,and im very sure i will live with this burden till end of time.
This is for you Yaa Mukhtar,you’ve always been a nuisance to my well being which im so sure you knew it yourself,till date i couldn’t comprehend what i ever did to deserve such cruelty from you,i don’t have to mention how you completely shattered me into pieces, how you actually made me into who i am today,a mother out of wedlock,ya rabbi!i will never forgive you for this Yaa Mukhtar.
And this is for you Mammy!
Mammy all my life i thought, i really thought you were that one person i can lean on,that one person i can look up to,that one person i can actually call a mother with my chest,but unfortunately i was mistaken,therefore im so sorry for being a burden to you and the rest of your house hold,i promise i will make a long distance between us,and im also sorry for peaking at your room,privacy to be precise,which actually made me realize who i really am!all thanks to you Mammy!
Lastly i’m using this medium to apologize for anything ive ever done to all of you,and to also thank you for bearing with me despite you knowing who i am,i know i will be long gone when you will notice this letter,do not bother looking for Fawad,coz i know he is your only priority, as he is to me,because he is my son too.
