Shiza broke the silence in the lounge after Ahmar left. "Mummy, you did no good. You should have told Ahmar about our presence."
"I had no idea he would react like that." Aunt shook her head.
"Shall we continue to mourn like this or cut the cake?" Aunty and Shiza were both terrified when Shiraz asked in an arrogant tone. They forgot his presence for a moment.
"Yeah ... of course ... we're just ... sorry!" Shiza strutted in panic and Aunty sighed. Shiza and Shiraz left soon after cutting the cake. Aunty also did not insist on staying for a long time considering Shiraz's bad mood.

Ahmar had been locked in his apartment for 15 days after reporting to the office. He had 2 more weeks left to stay in Pakistan, after which he had to return to Canada.
