"Kya farq padhta hai!" With glister eyes and a heavy heart, Iman said

(It doesn't matter.)

"Farq padhta Hai. Itne saalo se main is guilt mein jee rahi Hoon ki Maine tumhari Zindagi barbad kar di, Rehaan ka rishta main leke aai thi aur..."

(It does matter. All these years I have lived in guilt that I ruined your life...)

"Rehaan bohot achhe the aapi, agar woh mujhe jaldi chorke chale toh isme apki Kya galti Hai. Aur na hi unki galti thi, unki Zindagi hi utni thi." Rehaan was not only a good husband but human being also. He was a master of calm personality, Iman has never saw him angry or scolding anyone. Maybe because it was his professional that doctor are calm minded or something

As a husband he never forced himself on Iman for his right. They did have consummated but it was never forced on her. In first few months of their marriage, she never let him anywhere near her and he always respected her space. He even used to sleep on the sofa, just because her comfort

In that time where his parents didn't supported the idea of their daughter in law studying further and doing job but he took the responsibility of Iman's studying and made her into this confident independent woman that she is today

She would always be thankful for that. If it wasn't for him, she would also have never studied further or do any job.

(Rehaan was a good husband. But he left me so soon wasn't your fault, nor his.)

"Lekin agar main Rehaan ka rishta pehle leke na ati toh shayad papa tumhare aur Dabir ke rishte ke liye Haan Kar dete." Eshal's massaging hands stopped as she told Iman her feelings, Rehaan may was a good guy but what's the point when he wasn't there for Iman in her hardship

It wasn't his fault that he died so soon, he had that much life in his fate. but still, Human heart will always have hope for better future which only the past could make if you were sensible enough

(But it was me who asked for your hand for Rehaan, maybe if I hadn't do that, papa would have agreed for your and Dabir's marriage.)

"Shayad! Lekin Shayad pe zindagi nahi guzarti, hota wahi Hai Jo qismat mein likha ho, mere ya apke sochne se kuch nahi hota."

(Maybe! But fate doesn't work on maybe, life always happens the way it is written in fate.)

"Warna insan Sochta toh bohot kuch hai, par qismat ke agey haar jata Hai." Who will know these meanings better than her

(We humen thinks lot of things, but we always get defeated by fate.)

"Kya pata qismat tumhe ek chance dena chahti Hai, woh chance Jo tumhe aur tumhari mohabbat ko pehle nahi de payi." Eshal was just asking about Dabir but now when she thinks of what Aima is thinking about Iman and Dabir, she also agreed with Aima

(Maybe now fate wants to give you two and your love a chance, the chance which it couldn't give earlier.)

Dabir and Iman need each other

It isn't about love anymore but the need of the companion. This is the stage of life when one need their companion most

The companion, who can share their grief, laugh, smile and tears

"Aapi, Kaisi baatei'n Kar rahi Hain aap?" Iman turned to Eshal to see her face. She couldn't believe what she heard was true. Was Eshal really said things which Iman heard.
How can Eshal even think of this?

(What are you talking about?)

"Aap Jo keh rahi Hain possible nahi hai." She didn't meet Eshal's gaze and again turned her face to her front
