"What happened?"
"Headache." He muttered while removing the glasses and resting his head with the headboard.
"Come here..." Sitting on the edge of the bed she dangled her legs and ordered him. He silently sat down on the floor resting his back with her legs and soon the magic of her fingers were sending him on a voyage of discovering peace.
"I love you Jangli Billi..." He closed his eyes making her smile.
"Love you more." She whispered and kissed his cheek but didn't forget to add "Bandar." He laughed and opened his eyes.
"Yaar sara un logo ko kya jawab dena hai?" And the tiny session of their love was hijacked by responsibility.
(Sara, what answer should I give to those people?)
"Theek hi to keh rhe hain wo log, ek saal se rishta pakka hai, ab engagement kar hi deni chahiye." Without stopping her fingers to massage his nape and shoulders she replied.
(I agree with them. This match has been fixed for one year. Now they should get engaged.)
"Lekin Fayra abhi bohot chhoti hai. Sirf 20 saal ki hai wo." Adnaan shifted a lit away and turned to see his wife.
(But Fayra is very young, she is just twenty.)
"Yeah, she is very young to get married but I guess there's nothing wrong in getting engaged." Sara's voice was barely audible but her husband knew how to understand her.
"Kya ho gya hai Adnaan? Bataoge kya preshani hai? Tumhari khamoshi mujhe darati hai."
(What's wrong Adnaan? Will you tell me something? Your silence scares me.)
"Mujhe to khud dar lag rha hai..." Said Adnaan in a hushed tone and stood up from the floor.
(I myself feeling scared.)
"Kyu? Kis baat se dar lag rha hai tumhe?"
(Why? What are you scared of?)
"Fayra ki shadi ke baare mein sochti hi dil bethne lagta hai... Sara mene bohot pyaar se rakha hai apni beti ko... Arsh aur uske ghar walo ko kese de du apne dil ke tukde ko?"
(My heart starts sinking when I think about Fayra's wedding... I have loved my daughter very much... how do I give this piece of my heart to Arsh and his family?)
"Mera bhi yahi haal hota hai, lekin beti ko sari zindagi ghar me to nhi bitha sakte na?" Sara said while standing up from the bed and opened the cupboard.
(I too am in the same situation, but we cannot keep my daughter at home all her life, can we?)
"Maizah aapi bhi to is ghar ki beti hain, lekin wo kabhi gyi hi nhi is ghar se." Said Adnaan and Sara gave him a disappointed look.
(Maizah aapi is also a daughter of this house, but she never left.)
"Stop it Adnaan, I know what's cooking in your head. Stop thinking about Danish and Fayra. They both won't accept this, moreover Anzala bhai and Maizah..." Sara stopped to say something further. Deep down she was not liking Anzala's silence in this matter. Years ago, once Gul Bano represented the idea of Fayra and Danish's wedding but Anzala stayed silent, and many times Silence is an answer itself.
A year ago when Fayra went to a wedding Arsh and his family saw Fayra, they were a well known people, Anzala and Adnaan both were on good terms with them because of business relationships.
Arsh's family didn't take much time to bring proposal for Fayra, Adnaan and Sara didn't want to accept it as Fayra was only 18 back then but Anzala was one to convince them. He was the one to ask Arsh's family to wait a few years before announcing this alliance. All these things were clearly indicating that Anzala didn't want Fayra and Danish's wedding. Sara and Adnaan also never represented what they wanted.
