Junaid's mother zakia ji came with a proposal of shehnaaz, javed ji delightfully welcomes his sister followed by other members of shafiq house. He is happy to meet her after two years, had last visited pakistan during her relatives wedding everybody is smiling except sidharth. He doesn't know why unexpected arrival awoke unknown fears in his heart. He is skeptical of her sudden entry feels like zakia ji has some major reason for visiting pakistan, maybe wrong, he feels the anxiousness growing inside and sinking his heart to death.
"Mashallah, kitne khoobsurat jodi hai" compliment, sidharth and saman they had plastered smile "shukriya chachi" he replied.
"Zakia, pakistan kaise ana huwa ?" zubaida ji asked, she smiled at her son who is formally dressed up in a tuxedo as if junaid has come to attend wedding.
"Batate hoon, pehle saans toh laine doh waise meri bache shehnaaz kahan hai dikhaye nahi dairahe uske bina toh jaise ronak nahi" they laugh, agreeing with her thoughts no matter how many people are here, her absence always affects cause she is the glittering star of shafiq mansion, every day begins by sound of her soothing anklets followed by heart warming giggles, she is star of their life.
"Aslamualikum, chachi jaan ... kaise hain ?" warmly greeted, she placed sweet kisses on her forehead, infuriating sidharth, his heart is squeezing out of stress anxiousness and tension.
"Alhumdullilah, theek hoon bache tum batao mashallah kitne bade aur pyaare hogaye haina apne shehnaaz, bilkul tumhare shakal daite hai zubaida" praises shehnaaz whose nervously smiling at her "aap toh late ane wale thi na ?" sat in between junaid and zakia ji "beta, kuch zaroori baat karne thi isliye jaldi agaye bhai aapke ijazat ho toh karun ?" javed ji, nodded.
"Is mein puchne wale kya baat hai ... khol kar bolo ... behan ho meri" taken a deep breath finally uttered "main yahan apne junaid ke liye shehnaaz ka hath maangne aye hoon, mera beta aapke beti ko bohut pasandh karta hai" all are shocked to hear her proposal.
"Kya huwa bhai jaan, aapko junaid nahi pasandh ?" he sighed.
"Kaise baatein kar rahe ho zakia, junaid bohut acha ladka hai" he smiled.
"G bhai jaan, toh kya main rishta pakka samjhaun ?" she excitedly, asked.
"Thoda waqt doh sochne ka ... inshallah kal tak bata dainge" he assured.
"Jaise aapke marzi umeed hai jawab haan hoga" didn't reply, he won't decide anything without discussing with naaz whose sitting under the state of shock.
She is unable to react ... her dreams were to marry sidharth ... how come her destiny cruelly played maybe this is called life where one needs to accept the horrific realities by crushing their desires or wants. He is married to saman so desiring him is next to impossible, it's a dreadful sin, which she would die but would never aspire to obtain, sidharth belongs to saman, has no right to love him, desire him, posses him, adore him, does it mean, she will have to accept an unwanted relationship ?
It will break her forever but isn't she already broken ?
Tears of helplessness and remorse of loving a married man trickle down, due to which ran upstairs before anybody could witness her broken condition. As they will raise several questions .. replying them would be next to impossible therefore quickly locks herself and loudly cried ... thump down ... sobbing in corner of the room ... cursing her awful fate.
Sidharth couldn't pretend to be normal, his heart ached too much excusing from everyone ran upstairs towards terrace. He couldn't breath, never did it happen to him before then why now ... her getting married shouldn't affect him, should be happy right ... his bestfriend will settle down .. then why his heart is wrenching and tears are streaming down, didn't realise until notice saman captured them in her little palms 😭💔
"Tum ... yahan kya kar rahe ho ?" almost stammered, getting astonish wiped off painful tears streaming down like an open tap "I am securing them" utter blinking back unshed tears plastering smile.
"Kya main ... puch sakte hoon ... rone ki wajah kya hai ?" she knows yet want him to confess, for heaven sake, it's a high time to accept even break through his bubble of constant denial "ankhaun mein kuch chala gaya tha" he lied, so freaking ashamed, can't face his wife, badly want to bury inside ground.
"Jhoot mat bolein, sach kadwa hota hai lekin behtar hota hai" she replied.
"Kya bol rahe ho sanam, please neeche jao ... kuch waqt akela rehna hai" he once again plans to run away by avoiding his emotion, how coward of him to do this every time rather than accepting like a man.
"Main neeche nahi jaunge ... aaj baat ho kar rahegi .. mujhe jawaab diye bina kahin nahi jayenge, bohut hogaya bhaag na, nazrein churana, hamare shaadi ko huwe doh mahine hogaye hain atleast ab toh mat bhaagein" yelled at him getting frustrated, constant hide and seek, won't help them.
"Main nahi bhaag raha" he lied, she snorted.
"G aap nahi bhaag rahe, main bhaag rahe hoon na ... subah ko jaldi office pe jaana phir raat ko late ana, mere saath doh minute bhi baat na karna, raat ko jaldi sone ka bahana karna" her voice cracked.
"Shehnaaz ke baare mein sochna, uske narazgi durr karna, uske ignorance se affect hona, uske baat se gussa hona, uske chupe se udaas hona, uske junaid se dosti hone mein pagal hona, uske avoidance se aapka khoobsurat khol na, uske shaadi ki baat hone ki wajah se aapka rona, maan kyun nahi laite aapko uske ilawa koi nazar nahi ata, main bhi nahi 💔😭" chocked.
