Mahram To Azira
Chapters 6.3
"Mdak thought clearly. Azira is not an illegitimate child no matter what her fault. She's my brother's legitimate daughter too." Aunt Sifa lowered her head to pick up the tray on the floor and ordered one of the servants to immediately clean the dirty floor.
Sifa's aunt's words ignited the anger of Mama and Safa's aunt. Everyone in this house knows that Azira is not recognized because according to them the marriage that took place more than 20 years ago is not legal because it gets the rejection of many voices in the family. They only believed that Mama Humairah was Father's first wife, while Ms. Azira, the village woman who had been destroyed by Father, in their eyes was no different from disgusting garbage.
They do not recognize the marriage between Azira's mother and Father, so Azira is rejected by them. They assume that Azira is an illegitimate child whose identity is unclear.

Aunt Safa threw her tablespoon on the dining table. She suddenly loses her appetite in the market hearing Azira's name being mentioned by her twin brother.
"Sifa, watch your talk, yeah! Azira is not a big sister and she will never enter our family."
Aunt Sifa did not understand at all why this family was so difficult to accept the fact that Azira was part of this family. The evidence is also clear, valid and irrefutable. The father also admitted that Azirah was his legitimate daughter, the first daughter born in this family from the father's first wife.
"Self does not argue that Azira is his daughter. And is everything unclear? Azra has evidence and her DNA test does not betray everyone's prejudices. Ma'am, I know that Azira was wrong to do this. He hurt Humairah, his actions were wrong. But have we ever thought and pondered why he dared to do this to us? Could it be that we all have not understood why he committed this crime to this family and to Humairah? Isn't that because of the past? If I don't remember wrongly more than 10 years ago Azira and her mother once went to this house to look for a sister. But the older sister refused him on the doorstep and claimed that she had never married Azira's mother. Just think carefully, which heart of a woman who is not sick is simply thrown away by a man who is loved wholeheartedly? Not only did she cast him out but sister also demeaned her dignity as a woman, degrading her dignity as a Mother who had given birth to sister's daughter. His life was lost in the city and he could not return to his hometown. For the sake of supporting Azira, she lowered her self-esteem working as... I can't even mention it. It's a very-"
But aunt Sifa who is usually soft and not easily angry even shouted back.
"Then how could he not hate big brother?! How could he not hate this family! Because this brother and family had forced them to the brink of destruction. Azira does. He hated this family so much that he was determined to destroy Humairah's marriage, so that our Humairah would feel how much pain the life of the woman whose marriage was destroyed. I didn't defend Azira and I was sad to see her fall like this. I'm just sick of it... Fed up with all the accusations and swear words you made to Azira. If it wasn't for us, and if it wasn't for big brother, he probably wouldn't have taken this path."
Mama turned her face annoyed. His heart was burning wanting to reply to the words of his sister-in-law, but he did not want to do that and waited for Father to reprimand aunt Sifa.
"Sifa you-"
"I don't want to talk anymore. Good bye." Then he turned towards his room, leaving everyone at the dining table who was still immersed in silence.
No one wanted to admit that what Aunt Sifa said was true. Their consciences rejected this truth and held fast that Azira was wrong.
