Vo Gali Thi Ishq Ki (TELEPHONE BOOTH)

Q5.

Zayan just came back from outside in afternoon after attending some important work when he met Haami and his family on the way into the Haveli already leaving.

"Assalam Walaikum Zayan Bhai!" Haami gritted with a smile and Zayan frowned while greeting him.

"Walaikum Assalam! Aap log yaha ?" Zayan asked confused because there isn't any function today and its rare for Haami's family to come without any reason in there Haveli.

(You guys here?)

"Haa bas kuch maslo pr zaroori baat karni thi Saira Begum se. Ab hm chalte hai." Haami's mother smiled at him her beautiful smile while his father just nodded at him stiffly. He is one scary and intimidating man but Zayan never felt that way about him.

(Yes, actually we have some important matters to discuss with Saira Begum. Now we would like to leave.)

However on Haami's mother answer , scene from last night flashed Infront of his eyes and his brain forced him to think that they came here to talk about the way Zayan behaved. Before Zayan can ask anything they were already leaving outside. He shook his head deciding to ask Bijaan instead and rushed inside.

"Bijaan vo..."

(Bijaan they...)

He abruptly stopped, his brows creasing in confusion witnessing the scene in front of him. Rahila was crying hugging her mother who is trying to calm her down while Bijaan was grimacing and others were just watching the scene silently sitting there.

"Bijaan kya hua hai? Ye Rahila ese kyu ro rahi hai? Sab thik to hai? Or..vo..vo log kyu aae the yaha? Koi btaega mujhe kuch." He rushed to Bijaan's side, he asked all the questions in one breath feeling anxious.

(Bijaan what happen? Why Rahila is crying like this? Is everything ok? And why..why they were here? Will someone tell me anything?)

"Rubina phuphu?"getting no answer from anyone he next turn to his phuphu asking her sternly.

"Arey mujhe kya puchte ho jake apni biwi se pucho, kya haal hua para hai meri beti ka tumhari biwi k gulcharro k wajah se!"

(Oh why are you questioning me? Go ask your wife. Look at my daughter's condition just because of your wife affairs!)

She snapped angrily at him hugging her daughter more closer to her chest while Zayan felt his blood boiling in anger hearing his phuphu's accusation about his wife. She is still his wife and no one has right to talk about her that way.

"Rubina phuphu aap meri biwi ke bare me baat kar rahi hai. Aap janti hai? Islie, kuch bhi bol ne se pehle ek baari sochiye." He roared defending his wife emphasizing on meri making it clear, shocking his family and Bijaan who stared him in disbelief.

(Rubina Aunt, you are talking about my wife so please, think twice before you speak!)

"Mujhe pata hai main kya bol rahi hu or kiske liye bol rahi hu. Pure khandaan ko pata tha Rahila ki shadi Haami se hogi. Pr pata nahi kaha se yw tumhari biwi bich me aagai. Kitne khush the hum jab hame unka phone aaya tha k kuch zaroor baat karni hai."

(I know what I am saying and know well who is the guilty one. Entire family and relatives knew that Rahila was supposed to marry Haami but now your wife came between them out of nowhere. Oh, how happy we were! when they called to let us know, they wanna talk something important.)
