"Um Shaan yeh mere cousin Hai Fasih, aur Fasih, Shaan bataya Tha na." Urwa made him aware of Fasih's presence

(Shaan, meet my cousin Fasih and Fasih he is Shaan, I have told you about.)

"Oh! Hi." Shaan took his hand out for him to shake

Fasih put a forced smile on his lips while shaking his hand

"Hanaya! Sach Sach batao Kya hua?" Ayesha can detect when Hanaya is disturb just from her voice

(Tell me honestly what's wrong?)

"Mamma aap aur papa Hayfa se baat kyu nahi Kar rahe Hai?" Hanaya complain to her mother on phone

(Why aren't you and papa talking to Hayfa?)

"Kya hua? Kuch kaha Kya Hayfa ne?" Hanaya bit her lips, thinking should she tell Ayesha everything

(Did Hayfa said something to you?)

But it won't be right thing to do if she told Ayesha what happened here

"Kuch kaha nahi lekin dikh raha Hai ki unhe apki aur papa ki zaroorat Hai, woh yaha bohot akeli Hai mamma," Hayfa needs help, and Hanaya no longer help her because Hayfa won't take it

(She didn't said anything but I can see she needs you and papa, she is very lonely here.)

But Ayesha can help her

"Aisa to nahi chalega na ki sab unhe ignore Kare, Fasih Bhai ka ignore karna banta Hai kyuki Hayfa ne unpe jhoota ilzam lagaya, tayi ammi aur abbu ka bhi ignore karna banta Hai par apko aur papa ko toh at least sochna chahiye ki Hayfa ne aisa Kiya kyu."

(How will she realize her mistake if no one gonna make her, Fasih Bhai is ignoring her because she accused his character, tayi ammi and Abbu also have right to be angry at her. But, at least you and papa should understand her.)

"Nahi Bata payi woh ki unhe inse nahi Fasih Bhai se Shaadi karni Hai, kyuki unhe maloom Tha agar unki Shaadi inse nahi bhi hui phir bhi Fasih Bhai se bhi nahi hogi."

(She couldn't tell that she wants to marry Fasih Bhai because even if you have broke her engagement still you wouldn't have fix her marriage with Fasih bhai.)

"Main yeh nahi keh rahi Hoon ki Hayfa ne Jo Kiya sahi Hai lekin...." Hanaya took a breath,

(I'm not saying whatever she did was right thing but....)

"Lekin woh hamesha se aisi hi Hai. Unhe Jo chahiye woh leke rehti Hain."

(But she was always like that, she always got whatever she wanted.)

"At least aap to baat kariye unse."

(At least you talk to her.)

"Mamma!" When Ayesha didn't said anything Hanaya thought she isn't listening to her

"Sahi keh rahi ho, Hayfa bachpan se aisi hi thi phir bhi main ussey nahi samajh payi."

(You are right. Hayfa was always like this from childhood, still I couldn't understand her.)

"Kash ki bachpan mein hi ussey bataya hota ki koi bhi cheez cheen-ne se nahi milti....." Ayesha realized it wasn't only Hayfa's fault but her also

She was her mother, at least she should have understand her daughter's feelings

At least she should have been there for her
