Din ko raat karte Hain, kuch aisi baat karte Hain
Khud ko khud hi mein bhula de'n
Waisi hi koi mulaqat karte hain

That's what Ayla was dreading, somehow she knew this was going to happen. what she don't know is she happy or not.

One part of her was happy, knitting sweet dreams while other, the sensible and logic part was already imagine the things would happen after this marriage, and Kaif's comment about her clothes was still fresh and in front of her eyes

One thing she is sure that she didn't liked how everyone decided about her marriage without even asking about her consent, she is got to know about her nikkah which is supposed to happen next Friday

Taking off her glass bangles, she placed them on bed, in front of her, she was still in the gown which she wore in Rehnuma's reception, her hair freed from the bun and lipstick wear off, all the while she was just thinking about Kaif and her marriage

She has to admit, there was attraction between her and Kaif, she admires him, his calm personality and easy going nature, what she don't like his careless behavior and he agrees to everything whatever his mother told him

"Aapi!" Her trance of thoughts were broken by Ayat's voice

"Chatt pe chale?" Entering her room, Ayat sat on the bed in front of her and asked

(Can we go to terrace?)

"Iss waqt?" Ayat has already changed her clothes into a comfy one, loosen trousers and blue t shirt, which wasn't even her size and it was boy's t shirt, Ayat feels more comfortable in boy's shirts that's why for sleeping she buys boy's shirts that no one's about except Ayla and Rubab,

(This time?)

"Hana, tazi Hawa lene chalte Hain, mousam bohot achha hai." Ayat excitedly said while showing off her white teeth

(Yes! The weather is very pleasant outside.)

"Tazi Hawa balcony se lelo, Ayat." Ayla's words made Ayat upset, as her head bowed down and a pout made its way on her lips

(You can enjoy the weather on balcony.)

"Achha, theek Hai, chaliye... Hume bhi is waqt tazi hawa ko zaroorat Hai." Ayla could never refuse Ayat, whenever she would even made her voice little stern on Ayat, guilt over took her

(Fine, I think I could also need some fresh air.)

Reason, because since Ayla was little she wanted a brother, like Rehnuma have Kabir, Hanan was there but Ayla still wanted a baby brother, when Rubab was pregnant with Ayat, Ayla thought now her wish will be fulfilled, seeing little Ayat made Ayla cringe as she told her parents to return Ayat back and get a baby brother for her, Rubab explained her that her words could hurt Ayat, she is very little and she needs someone who can take care of her, if being Ayat's older sister, Ayla is saying these words then no one would treat Ayat right, this made Ayla guilty as she thought she will always take care of her little sister and protect her as she can't even speak for herself nor she could walk,

Now Ayat can speak and she can walk too but Ayla was still protective of her

"Kya hua, aapi? Aap pareshaan lag rahi Hain." Ayat asked while they were walking toward terrace

(What happened, aapi? You look tense.)

"Hmm! ...... Par Choriye, aap nahi samjhengi aur hum chahenge bhi nahi ki aap yeh samjhe."

(Let it be, you won't understand.. nor I want you to understand this.)

"Itne bhi bachhe nahi Hain hum. Aap chupana chahti Hain toh theek Hai... Lekin Hume maloom Hai aap apni aur Kaif Bhai ki....." Ayat never understands why everyone thinks of her as baby, even Shyra who is only by few months older than her knows most of the things which no one bother to tell Ayat, she intentionlly left her sentence in middle
