"You are looking beautiful," she didn't looked at him who was laying in front of her with the support of his elbow and looking at her intensely

"Pata Hai mujhe tum pehli nazar mein hi achhi lagi thi, lekin Maine Kabhi nahi socha Tha ki waqai mein humari Shaadi ho jayegi" he sat up and said

(I liked you in first sight but I never thought we will get married,)

"Tum kuch nahi bologi?" When the replied didn't came from her side Rohail asked

(Won't you say anything,)

She was still silent, she didn't have anything to say. All she wanted to do was to change the heavy dress into a comfortable one and sleep

Rohail took a sigh thinking her silence as her shyness

One week passed of her marriage, Roshni started helping Tanzeel in household chores even after everyone told her not to

She doesn't even take the help of servants and do all her and Rohail's work just to keep herself busy

Today she was in foul mood because today she had argument with Rohail and he walked out of the house

It wasn't her fault, all she did was to ask Rohail when he will join the office because she has saw how much Ajmal and Asfand worked and she thought now it's the time for Rohail to join the family business

But Rohail thought otherwise so, he thought she is taunting him about being jobless

Maybe it was because of his fight with Roshni in the morning or because he has studied there but Rohail told his father he wants to work in London

Both Ajmal and Asfand oppose it

And the cold war begin between three man of the house where Tanzeel and Rumana was supporting Rohail and told Ajmal that let the young man do whatever he wants but Roshni doesn't agree with them because she knows if Rohail will go to London she will also have to go with him and she doesn't wanted to leave anyone here

But she was silent because if she agree with Ajmal and Asfand it will mean opposing with Rohail and making him angry so she decided to keep quiet.

Angrily entering the room he slam the door behind him, Roshni who was arranging the cupboard was uneffected by it because it was normal

Rohail trying to talk to Asfand for letting him go to London but Asfand flatly refusing then Rohail coming to the room angrily

"Apni churiya'n utharo," her bangles were making the tickling sound adding fuel to his anger

(Take off your Bangles,)

But she was still calmly arranging the cupboard

"Jab main kuch kaha karu toh maan liya Karo, tumhe achhe se pata Hai tumhari yeh khamoshi mujhe nahi pasand," when she didn't replied or even acknowledge his presence he angrily got up and started taking the Bangles out from her wrist

(Do as whatever I told you, your silence irk me,)

She was silently letting him do, when he was done he throw them in dustbin which was near dressing table and again sat on the bed

"Kisi aur ka gussa humpe kyu utar rahe hain?" She finally broke her silence and asked

(Why are you taking others anger on me?"

"Roshni! Please abhi mujhse baat na karo,"

(Don't talk to me right now,)

"Kabhi kehte Hain tumhari khamoshi nahi pasand Kabhi kehte Hain baat mat karo," she intentionlly said it aloud for Rohail to listen then again turned to cupboard

(My silence irk you but you don't want me to talk right now,)

"Roshni tum...... Roshni idhar ana," Rohail turned to say something to her but when his eyes fall on her he softly called her

(Roshni.... Roshni come here,)

Roshni again turned to him confusingly with change of voice

She grab his hand which he took out for her to hold, he made her sit beside him

"Tum dada jaan se baat Karo,"

(You talk to Dad jaan,)

"Hum?...lekin hum...kaise..?" Her eyes widened

(Me? But... How?)

"Lekin hum kaise Kya Roshni? Dada jaan tumhe Kabhi Mana nahi karenge, tum ek baar baat toh Karo unse," Rohail didn't left any room for argument

(What how? Dada jaan will never refuse you,)

After morning prayer when Roshni gave Asfand and Ajmal their morning tea, she decided to do what Rohail asked her for
