"Walekum-Assalam!" The person turned to her, making her eyes winded as she felt her body turned cold

"Tum?" A gasp left her mouth

(You?)

"Haan main! Kya hua? Khushi nahi hui mujhe dekh ke?" Azam innocently asked as if he was her long distance friend

(Yes me! What happened? Aren't you happy seeing me?)

"Abhi isi waqt niklo yaha se," controlling her heartbeat she said, not wanting him to feel she is scared

(Get out from here,)

"Kya hoagya Hai Soni? Aisa behave toh na karo, hum purane sathi hain,"

(What happened Soni? Why are you behaving like this? We are old friends,)

"Apni bakwas band karo, aur jao yaha se isse pehle main guards ko bulau," she point to the door

(Shut your non sense and leave my house,)

"Chala jaunga, itni bhi Kya jaldi hai? Pehle apne shohar se toh milwao,......" He said as he was about to sit on the sofa

(What's the rush? Let me meet your husband first,)

"Waise ussey mere bare mein bataya to haina?..... Bataya hi hoga," he mocked her and sat down, for one second fear came in her eyes which she quickly hide but it was slow enough for his eyes to catch

(Have you told him everything about us?...... You must have,)

"Nahi bataya? Ab agar ussey kahi se pata chal gaya to?" He put his hand on his mouth pretending to be in deep thought

(You didn't? Now what will happen if he got to k ow about this from someone else?)

"Ammar ko sab pata Hai, iss liye behtar hoga yaha se chale jao warna....."

(Ammar knows everything, ow leave before I......)

"Warna Kya?" This was enough for him as he got up from sofa and grabbed her arms pulling her to himself

(Before I what?)

"Warna Kya karogi? Kuch bhi nahi Kar sakti tum," she tried to get herself free but his grip became tight hurting her arms

(What can you do? Nothing.)

"Uss din hi tumhara kissa khatam Kar deta agar Abbu ka phone na aya hota aur unhone fouran mujhe Ghar na bulaya hota, par koi nahi, badla jitna purana hota Hai utna hi maza ata hai," with all strength she had she got herself free and slapped him

(I would have finished your story that day if Abbu hadn't called, but it's okay! Revenge is more sweeter when it's old,)

"Main woh choti nadan Soni nahi hoon, jiska tum fayda utha sako, Subh-Dil Ammar hoon aur mere sath mere shohar Hain Jo tum jaiso se deal karna jante hain, is liye behtri isi mein tum yaha se chale jao,"

(I'm not that old stupid so who you can take advantage of, I'm Subh-Dil Ammar and my husband knows how to deal with you, so leave,)

"Thappar marke sahi nahi Kiya Soni! Ek thappar ke wajah se tumko aur tumhare maa baap ko apna Ghar chorke Jana pada ab socho Kya hoga," he hold his cheek where she slapped, she wasn't really that old Soni because this time her slapped did hurted physically

(You did a mistake by slapping me, for one slap you and your parents had to leave your house now imagine what this slap can do,)

"Guards!" Subh-Dil loudly called the guards

"Take him out, and make sure he never come here again," when guards came she ordered them and leave this living room

But his words gave her anxiety, where did he got her address? The first question came in her mind but then she realized Fareen bua must have lost the paper in which her address was and maybe Azam got it

The second question was who else heard their conversation? The maids were present in house but did they heard anything?

And her last worry was, should she tell Ammar everything?

but what she is suppose to say?

Will he believe her now if she told him everything?

Of course he will! Her heart said

And she decided to tell him everything, it's better telling him everything then living in fear.

In evening when Ammar returned from school she was waiting for him in living room thinking how to talk to him

"ASSALAMUALAIKUM!" She got up from sofa and greet him

"Walekum-Assalam!" Seeing Subh-Dil in living room he also stopped there and sat on sofa

Ammar looked quiet tired and seeing him like that she didn't had gut to say anything

"Main apke liye pani lati hoon,"

(I'll get water for you,)

"Subh-Dil!" She was about to leave when he called her from behind

"Ji!" She turned and went to him

(Yes!)

"Ek baat puchu?" He get up from sofa, standing in front of his he asked

(Can I ask you something?)

"Ji! Puchiye," she nod her head. managing to give him a nervous smile which slowly fade away as she heard his question

(Yes!)

"Azam Kon hai?" Her heart told her to tell him everything, and she wanted to

(Who is Azam?)

But her mind and tongue didn't supported

"Mujhe nahi pata," she shook her head negatively

(I don't know,)

"Sach mein nahi janti aap?" Subh-Dil again shook her head negatively

(You really don't know ow him?)

"Theek Hai!" Ammar left from there, but the look in his eyes made Subh-Dil's stomach clenched and her heart skip a beat

(Okay!)

She didn't see love in them nor any warmness, she only felt coldness and questions

At night when she tried to talk to him, he switched off the light and turned to other side

The guilt was eating her from inside for hiding the truth from him. but, now when she wanted to he is turning cold shoulder to her

She couldn't sleep, not with those thoughts in her mind

Who told him about Azam and what else they have said?

Did guards told Ammar about Azam's visit? Or did Azam met Ammar?

Did the maids told him about their conversation?

But Ammar isn't that type of guy who will get in talk of other and doubt her.

But.....

These all questions were haunting her, making her tense, but she couldn't talk to anyone
