Subject: Retaining two cities as watan-e-asliy simultaneously

My family used to live at City A, however I work at City B. By Family I mean only my parents before my marriage and after marriage it included parents, wife and children. But now I have shifted my wife and children to City B as well. I don’t have any definite intention of relocation from City B yet. However, I still maintain relation with City A as follows:
I still retain some of my belongings and living place there.
My parents are still residing at that place.
My wives parents live there.

 
Can I make both cites as my watan-e-asliy?

Answer
 
In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh
 
Now city B is your Watan-e-Asli, and since you don’t have the intention of relocating to City A, it no longer remains as your Watan-e-Asli.
(Fatāwa Uthmāni, Vol.1, Pg.544, Ma῾āriful Qur’ān)
And Allāh Ta῾āla Knows Best
Wassalāmu ῾alaykum
