Meerab comes out from the washroom after changing her wedding attire.She feels guilty.She shouldn't runaway that way but situations were not favourable to her.Still she thinks to seek apology.

Meerab sits next to Murtasim and says;

"Mujhse galti ho gayi.Mujhe aise chale nahi jana chahiye tha.Par mein kya karu mujhe laga aap ka kisi aur aurat ke..."

Words are stuck on the throat. The intensity of the pain is great.She can't say now her husband had affairs with any other lady.She doesn't know why she can't utter these words.

Murtasim put his index finger on her lips and said;

"Khud hi bolte rahoge yaa phir mujhe bhi kuch mauka milega."

Meerab is so impatient to know everything.Is Murtasim deliberately teasing with her after learning everything or he is fall in love with her.She removed the finger and asks Murtasim;

"Ek baat puchu."

"Ha pucho."

"Aab mujhse mohabbat karte hai?"

Murtasim smiles and says;

"Tum kafi besabr ho.Kya janna chahte ho Mohabbat hai ya nahi?Abhi kaha na dil se dil ka taluk jura tha,kya ise mohabbat nahi kehte.Isi dil ki takuk hi woh wajah jis ke wajah aaj tum phir mere zindegi mein ho."

"Jab tak aap ko sacchai ka pata nahi laga tab tak to aap yehi samajte honge mein aap ko hospital mein behosh chor kar bhag gayi thi.Us waqt to aap ko mujh par gussa aaya hoga mohabbat nahi.To yeh dil ka taluk kab jora hoga."

Murtasim casts a sharp glance and says,

"Jis din sab ke samne tumhara hath thama tha us din hi maine khud se wada kiya tha chahe kuch bhi ho jai is rishten ko mein pure dil se nibhaunga.Lekin accident ke ek hafte baad jab maine ankhen khula to sab se pehle tumhara khayal aaya.Sab ne kaha tum mujhe chor ke chali gayi ho mujhe yakin nahi aaya.Bistar pe tha mein kisi ki sahare ke bina jaga se hil bhi pata tha.Phir bhi tumhare bare mein pata lagane ki puri kosish ki.Lekin kuch pata nahi chala.Aisa karte karte do saal bit gaye phir mein thik ho gaya.Lekin maine apna kosish band nahi kiya.Har jaga se naqam hone ki wajah se mein Kafi frustration mein chala gaya tha.Aise mein Salar ne mujhe suggests kiya mujhe apne life mein kuch changes lana hoga.Aur usne mujhe bataya Karachi ki university mein teacher ka position khali hai.Mujhe yeh offer accha laga kyun ki mujhe bhi zehni sukoon chahiye tha.Aur maine turand ha keh diya.Salar ka hi suggestions tha woh flat jaha mein rehta tha.Ab samaj aata hai tumse dobara milna koi ittefaq nahi balki Salar aur Aliya ki koshish tha."

Murtasim paused and said;

"Mere dil mein tumhare liye bohot gussa tha.Us waqt mein tumhe is liye dhund raha tha kyun ki mujhe tumhe yeh puchna tha tum itne bare ehsan faramosh kyun ho.Maine tumhe izzat di aur tum mujhe hi ruswa karke chali gaye.Maine apna sheher chor diya lekin apni kosish e band nahi kiya.Bakhtu se tumse juri har information collect karne kosish mein tha.Tumhari maa bap tumhare bare mein koi information nahi dena chahte the ise mein tumhari school mein mujhe tumhari bachpan ki ek tasvir mila."

Meerab widened her eyes and said;

"Aap ko mere waldain ka pata kaha chala..Mein jab university ki admission lena chahti thi us waqt mere sath apna koi official documents nahi the.Aur mujhe himmat nahi huyi mein phir se wapas jau.Aise mein Aliya gayi thi sab kuch collect karne lekin usne kaha woh log waha aab nahi rehte.Aur kisi ne mere pura wayod hi mita diya.Pata nahi kaise Aliya ko mere sab document mil bhi gaye."

"Salar madad kiya tha Aliya ki.Aur tumhari waldain bilkul thik hai.Mere baba ne unhe majbur kiya tha yaha se jane ke liye lekin main un tak bhi poucha.Lekin unhone mera shakal dekhna bhi gawara nahi kiya.Phir pata chala apni beti dhamki dekar mere baba ne tumhari baba ko majbur kiya hai taki woh mujhe koi information na dekh sake."

Murtasim holding Meerab's hand and saying;

"You know what Meerab itna sab kuch ke baad bhi jab jab dimag ne tum par gussa nikal na chaha usi waqt dil ne bagawat ki.Tumhe bina dekhe bina jane pata nahi kaise tum mere dil mein jaga banali.Tumhe woh mayun yaad hai?"

Meerab nodded his head.

"Us din maine waha kisi ne tumhe Miral nahi balki Meerab pukarte huye suna.Mein to heiran reh gaya.Phir mein ghar aaya aur apni students ki database check kiya waha mujhe tumhare naam ke aage dikha Meerab Waqas Ahmed.Mujhe samaj nahi aaya tum hi woh Meerab ho ya koi aur.Jab dimag kam karna band kar diya to maine is baat Salar se discuss kiya.Usne mujhe sare sacchai batai.Ke tum apni marzi se nahi balki mere maa ki kehne se waha se chale gaye.Mere waldain ne aisa kuch kiya hoga pehle mujhe yakin nahi aaya.Phir mein usi hospital gaya aur cc tv footage se sab pata chal gaya.Is liye kuch din university nahi gaya."

Meerab gaze on Murtasim and he continues.

"Salar aur Aliya chahte to bohot pehle hi hume sacchai bata sakte the lekin woh pehle hum dono ko amne samne lana chahte the.Unki kosish qamiyab huyi.Phir maine aur Salar ne mil kar yeh plan banaya kaise apni hi biwi se dobara shadi karunga.Is liye Aliya tumhe zabardasti apne sath lee gaye.Tumhara waha hum sab se milna aur tum tak sacchai pouchana sab ek plan ka hi hissa tha.Aur jo shadi ka jura tum ne pehna tha woh Aliya ki ammi ne nahi balki maine diya tha."

Meerab then asked;

"To aap ka woh sab baten karna sab apne jaan bujkar kiya tha.

"Ha to tumhe kiya lagta hai shadishuda hote huye parai aurat ke sath flirt karunga mein.Jab se tumhe qubool kiya hai tab se tumhe hi apna biwi mante aaya hu.Jaise bhi hu lekin wafa nibhana janta hu.Maa ne kitne ladkiyon ki tasvir dikhai lekin kabhi kuch soch hi nahi paya.Bar bar zehen mein yeh khayal aaya biwi se dhoka nahi kar sakta.Aur waise bhi jo kiya apne haq halal ki biwi ke sath kiya.You know what something tumhe chirane mein mujhe bara maza aaya."

Murtasim softly touch her cheeks.Meerab's entire body trembled.

"Aab tum kanp kyun rahe ho?Maine sirf touch kiya hai aur kuch nahi.Its called simple touch asli mohabbat abhi baki hai lekin aaj nahi tum kafi thake huye lag rahe ho.Bohot kuch ho gaya hai.Aaj chalo so jate hai.We need rest."

Murtasim goes to his bed and says;

"Aa jao mein light off kar dunga."

Murtasim removed his t shirt and Meerab turned around her eyes out of shy.

"Tumhara apna shohar hu aise sharmane ki kya baat hai.Aa jao bina sharmaye."

Meerab slowly coming to the bed and laying down next to Murtasim.

"Dekho pehle warn kar raha hu mujhe aise dekke kiss karne maat lag jana.Waise tumhe bara shok tha mujhe shirtless dekhne mein."

Murtasim leaning on her and saying in a husky voice;

"Maine tumhari ankhon mein apne liye mohabbat dekha hai.Agar ab tum apne upar se control khoke tum aisa kuch karoge na to mein khud ko nahi samhal paunga aur phir tum mujhe kahoge kaisa janwar ho sakta hu mein.Why you are biting me Murtasim?"

Meerab quickly  around and closed her eyes. Her throat is dry.Murtasim comes to her ears and says;

"Aaj raat chor raha hu is ka matlab yeh nahi har raat chorunga.Raat abhi aur aani hai aur zindegi ek sath guzarni."
