"Ab tumhare Dil mein Kya Hai tum yeh batao," holding her daughter's hand Amna asked

(Now you tell me what in your heart,)

"Par... Kaise? I mean... Hum...dono"

(But....we.....how?...)

"Kaise ka Kya matlab? Aur tum dono kyu nahi?" Amna laughed a little

(And why not?)

"Mujhe toh Hassaan bohot pasand Hai," Amna told her daughter what was in her heart

(I like Hassaan,)

"Ab tum batao apne dil ki,"

(Now you tell me what's in your heart,)

"Woh achhe...toh...hain... Lekin......" She dropped her sentence in the middle

(He is a good man but.....)

"Lekin Kya?"

(But?)

"Unki engagement Hina ke sath......"

(But he is engaged to Hina,)

"Pata nahi Hina ka zikr toh unhone kiya nahi," Amna thought if they said something but when she didn't remember anything she said to Ahanya

(They didn't mention about Hina,)

"Main kardu Hina ka zikr?" They both turned when they heard Bushra's voice and found her standing on the door way with two cup of tea

(I'll tell you about Hina,)

"Sorry! Interrupt karne ke liye, but bahar badho ki baatei'n mujhe bore Kar rahi thi,"

(Sorry for interrupting but outside everyone is talking a out something boring,)

Coming inside the room she told Ahanya to move and sat down beside her

"Hina ne engagement torh di," giving one cup to Amna Bushra said

(Hina has broke the engagement,)

"Kyu?" Amna asked taking the cup from her

(Why?)

"Kyuki! Hina ko pata chal gaya Tha ki Hassaan Bhai Ahanya ko pasand karte hain iss liye." She took a sip then replied then pushed Ahanya a little with the help of her shoulder

(Because! Hina got to know that Bhai liked Ahanya,)

Her words made Ahanya blushed as she looked down

Does Hassaan really? She thought to herself

"Bushra! Yahi rehne ka irada Hai Ghar nahi Jana," Anisha voice came from living room

(Won't you come home,)

"Oh Haan!" Bushra suddenly realized and quickly gulped her tea

(I forgot!)

Anna and Ahanya also came outside of the room with Bushra

"Apna khyal rakhna," Anisha lovingly pat Ahanya's cheek
(Take care,)

"Ghar wale toh achhe, ab main soch raha Tha ki Hashir aur main ladke ko bhi dekh aye kisi din," Salim said while sitting on the sofa

(Family is good, now Hashir and me will go to their house to see the boy,)

"Dekhne ki Kya zarurat hai, Ahanya ne toh achhe se dekha hi hoga," Najma looked at Ahanya, who's face automatically snapped to her direction hearing the sharpness in her voice
