Does he knows? Barkha's voice came in her mind, she turned to look at Ammar who was driving the car

Doesn't matter if he knows or not, him being on her side is enough to make Azam stay away from her

In his presence Azam won't do anything, and she isn't afraid of him,

As long as Ammar is on her side, she isn't afraid of anything

"Kya hua?" Ammar for a second looked at her then focus in the road

(What happened?)

"Kuch nahi!" She shook her head negatively and looked out of window

(Nothing!)

They spend a day at Subh-Dil's Aunt's house, she was an old widow who lived alone as her son was in army, when she saw Subh-Dil she was really happy, specially after knowing Subh-Dil is married and happy in her life, beside Raza's family she was the only one who knew Subh-Dil was innocent, for Subh-Dil's reputation she was even ready to get her son marry Subh-Dil but before she could talk to Akhtar, they moved out leaving her wonder is Subh-Dil alright or not

But now after many years seeing Subh-Dil happy brought geniun happiness in her life

"Waise apka goav Hai bohot achha, maine waqai mein bohot enjoy kiya, agli baar sab friends sath mein aganye, haina?" Next day when they were returning Ammar said

(It was fun here, next time we all friends will come together,)

"Hm! I would love to see Usman and Nitin's reaction here," smiling Subh-Dil said making Ammar laugh, imagining Usman and Nitin's reaction

Subh-Dil again looked outside of the window and in her heart thanks ALLAH

For making Ammar her companion,

And for not making her come face to face with Azam again,

Now all fears and anxiety she had vanished away into thin air

And she was looking forward to live her life with Ammar whole heartedly

"Kya hua?" Subh-Dil asked Ammar who wasn't in the mood of getting up from bed

(What happened?)

"Meri tabiyat theek nahi hai,"

(I'm not feeling well,)

"Kya hua apki tabiyat ko?" She sat on the bed to touch his forehead but he quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her at him, now she was laying on the top of him

(Waht happened to your health?)

"Yeh sab Bahanebaziya nahi chalengi, uthiye," she tried to get herself free from him and said

(These excuses won't work, get up now,)

"Mann nahi Kar raha," his brows furrowed as corner of his eyes crinkle, making it seems he is pouting

(I don't want to,)

"Theek hai!" She finally got herself free

(Fine!)

"Theek hai?" He also sat up after her surprised

(Fine?)

"Haan! Theek Hai! Agar apka Mann nahi Hai toh mat jaiye. lekin main late ho rahi hoon aur ab mujhe Jana chahiye," she slowly said as getting up from bed and went to wardrobe

(Yeah! Fine! If you don't want to go to school then it's fine, but I'm getting late,)

Ammar aslo went after her, and hugged her from behind

"Ab Kya hua?" Laughing she asked

(Now what happened?)

"Apko apne shohar ka zara bhi khayal nahi," he mumbled

(You don't care about your husband at all,)

"Achha! Aur shohar jo bahane Kar rahe Hain kaam pe na Jane ka uska kya?" She turned to him and asked

(And what about my husband who is making excuses so he won't have to go to school?)

"Ek hi din ki toh baat hai na, choro na nahi jate school,"

(It's only for one day, let it be na,)

"Bilkul bhi nahi! Already Shaadi ki wajah se leave liya hua tha, ab aur nahi," she shook her head negatively making him sigh

(Absolutely no, we have already taken a huge break and we won't skip any day,)

"Fine!" He huffed

"Yaar time dono bhi ajeeb ho, honeymoon pe gaov Kon jata hai?" Rida asked her in break time while they were checking some students notebook

(You two are weird, who goes to village for their honeymoon?)

"Tum apne honeymoon pe mat jana gaov," Subh-Dil said while massaging her temple which were paining since some time

(Then don't go there for your honeymoon,)

In morning she was fine but after coming to school she was feeling a little sick, maybe because of change in environment and everything

"Are you okay?" Rida asked while looking concern

"Yeah! I'm fine! Just little headache,"

"You are having headache! And your health is also weak?"

"Yeah! But why are you looking so happy?" Shockingly she looked at her friend who looked like she has won a lottery

"Good news to nahi?" Wiggling her brows Rida asked

(Is it some good news?)

"Kya?.....Kuch bhi,"

(What?...... You talk without thinking,)

"Haan kyu nahi, I mean agar ab Tak tum dono ne nahi kiya tab alag...." Before she could finish her sentence Subh-Dil put her hand on Rida's mouth making her sentence came in muffle

(Yeah why not! I mean if you two had done it....)

"Kuch bhi bolti rehti ho, aisa kuch bhi nahi Hai," looking around making sure no one heard them especially kids Subh-Dil scold her

(At least think before speaking, there is nothing like this,)

"Well! A person can hope," when Subh-Dil removed her hand Rida said

Subh-Dil didn't replied to her and got up to pick some file but due to dizziness in her head her eyes blurred and she again sat down

"Are you okay?..... Of course you aren't, I'm gonna call Ammar," Rida already exists the door to call Ammar

"Rida no! I'm fine," Subh-Dil called after her but she didn't listen

<><><>

Ammar didn't believed her when she said she is fine and strictly told her to rest at home next day

Now she didn't had to do anything because he has also ordered maids that no one will let her do any work not even letting her to take one glass of water by herself

Around afternoon the landline on the side table ranged

"Hello!" She picked it

"Ma'am! Someone is here to meet you from your village,"

"Really! Send them in," she happily put the receiver down and got down from bed, fixing her hair she put dupatta on her head and went to downstairs

Before leaving the village she has invite Fareen bua to her home and gave her the address of the house by writing it on paper,

When she reached downstairs she saw a person's back facing her, thinking it must be Fareen bua's son she greet him

"ASSALAMUALAIKUM!"
