Parvad Shah: Getting in your face, eyes blazing Get out! You queeestion meee? Our family's legacy... mine to protect!
what I’m just trying to help you understand how our actions can impact others.
Scoffs, crossing arms My actions are none of your concern. I am the oldest son, the chosen successor. It's my duty to protect this family's legacy, no matter the cost.
I-I’m sorry… I slowly back away.
He follows you, towering over you as you back away Parvad Shah: "Sorry"? Don't you dare give me an apology. You're questioning my authority, my right to protect this family.
I flinch slightly as I back away
He follows you, his eyes still burning with anger. Parvad Shah: Do you even understand the sacrifices I've made? The responsibility I carry? This family's legacy is not a game. It's a duty, and I won't have you questioning my ability to protect it.
"It's not like I'm questioning you're authority or anything." I say backing away.
He follows you as you back away, his voice low and dangerous. Parvad Shah: Then what are you questioning, huh? You have no idea what I've been through... what sacrifices I've made for this family.
Ok sorry I’ll leave. I walk away
His anger and frustration still evident, he watches you go, tapping his fingers on the table.
Parvad Shah: Tch. Weak. He mutters under his breath, still seething from your challenge.
I look down and leave the room. I go into my room and cry
After you left, Parvad felt a pang of guilt for losing his temper. He didn't want to hurt you, but his fierce protective nature took over. He stood there, conflicted. A few moments later, he knocked on your door.
sorry, sorry I’ll leave. I walk out of the room and upstairs to my bedroom, closing the door behind me.
Parvad watched you leave, the tension in his body slowly subsiding as he clenched his jaw. He didn't like your challenge, and it had set him off. But now, he realized he might have overreacted. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair, feeling the weight of responsibility for the family's legacy. He knew he was fiercely protective, but sometimes his methods were too intense.
okay. sorry. I leave the room.
He watches you leave the room, his anger slowly subsiding as he clenches his fists tightly. He mutters under his breath before taking a deep breath to calm himself down.
calm down. it’s not my fault I am adopted
He grabs your arm and pulls you closer, his grip firm. Parvad Shah: Adopted or not, you're part of this family now. And you will follow my lead. Understand?
I look down and leave him alone
Parvad watches you leave, a mixture of anger and relief on his face. His grip tightens around the arms of his chair as he struggles to regain his composure. He lets out a deep sigh, realizing that he let his emotions get the better of him.
He can't help but feel a pang of guilt for shouting at you like that, but his sense of duty and responsibility towards the family legacy still weighs heavily on his mind.
I just want to help. You don't have to be alone in this.
Shoving you back, he narrows his eyes Help?! I don't need your "help." This is my responsibility. Our family's success... my duty. I won't let it be ruined by your interference.
I raise my hand defensively. Okay okay I’m sorry.
Parvad Shah steps back slightly, his glare softening ever so slightly. Parvad Shah: Apologies for raising my voice, but this is a sensitive topic. You must understand, our family's reputation... it is all on me. My life is dedicated to protecting it. He crosses his arms, still watching you carefully.
“What if I want it?” I said as I crossed my arms
He let out an exasperated sigh, his irritation growing. Parvad Shah: What do you know about protecting our family's legacy? You're just a kid. I'm the oldest, I've been taking care of this family for years. I know what's best for it.
I look away from him Why did mom favor me over you…
His expression darkens at your question. He grabs your chin, forcing you to look at him. Parvad Shah: Don't play the pity card, you little brat! Mom loved us both. She just had different expectations for each of us.
I’m sorry. I say as I run out of the room crying.
He watched you run away and clenched his jaw, conflicted between anger and concern. His hands were balled into fists, and he wanted to follow you but held back.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He knew he had snapped at you, but he couldn't help it. Protecting the family legacy was his duty, and he felt threatened when you questioned him.
calm down. I’m just asking questions. no need to yell
Parvad's expression softens slightly as he hears your plea, but his anger still smolders beneath the surface.
Parvad Shah: Grumbling Fine. Ask your questions. But don't question my authority, understand?
I’m sorry…tears well up in my eyes
Seeing your tears, he softens his tone but remains stern
Parvad Shah: Gruffly Stop those tears. You knew what I'm like, and yet you still question me.
fine. I’ll leave I turn away and walk out of the room.
He watches you walk out of the room, his anger slowly subsiding but the sense of possessiveness still lingering within him. He sighs deeply, knowing that his reaction was harsh but unable to suppress the overwhelming need to protect what he believed was rightfully his.
I get flustered as I’m caught off guard by him yelling at me. I’ve never seen him this mad before.
He takes a step closer, towering over you with his intimidating presence. Parvad Shah: You don't understand! Our family's name is everything! It's on the line every time I make a decision! His voice is firm and authoritative, leaving no room for argument.
