Days passed and exams were over, management came up with an exciting plan to take everybody to northern areas for a joyful trip "yay, chal hum bhi form fill kar daite hain ?" umar asks three of them to come along but they simply deny "kyun, itna padne ke baad, don't we deserve going ?" he asks getting confuse, furrowing eyebrows.
They make faces "yaar bachpan se teeno badaun ke ijazat lekar, unse form fill karwa kar trips par jaate hain" fahad shares "what r u kidding me is age mein bhala kaun aisa karta hai ?" mocks his friends chuckle too embarrassing them.
"Hum .. hamare family values .. Is chees ki ijazat nahi daite" adil says, with a poker face "Tum log bache ho kya, ijazat ke zaroorat padte hai ?" one of umar's friend got carried away until an unless earned death glare from him to be quiet "dude u know what I understand .. take your time .. form le jao kal submit karwa daina" acts sweet infront of shehnaaz after studying her facial expressions reflecting, extreme anguish and disappointment.
"Yeah, will submit tomorrow !" adil turns to exit accompanied by his sister and cousin.
"How dare they kasam se mera dil chah raha tha wahin par gaar doon kamino ko .... samajhte kya hain aye bade cool dude .. hume neeche dekhane wale .. hamare tarbiyat ka mazak banane wale" a very irritated zoya agreed with adil as he kept on sulking while driving back home.
"Tu kyun chup baithe hai, saanp sung gaya hai ?" Zoya nudges her cousin, she always has befitting replies, why has she kept her mouth shut r those exclusively packed for sidharth ?
"Galati unke nahi fahad ki hai kya zaroorat thi unke saamne muh khol ne ke pata hai hamare family kitne backward hai lekin nahi uske adat hai ye dekhane, jatane ke, ke hume bachpan se jaanta hai" shocking them.
"Are you for real just cause you have a thing for umar doesn't mean kai uske sage bann jaa hadh hote hai partiality ke shehnaaz tune dekha nahi kis tarha se woh hum par hass rahe thai, mazak bana rahe thai, how can you over look ?" zoya is surprise to hear her cousin's explanation.
"That's quiet judgmental, why to blame others when our own family is responsible for being .. unreasonably strict .. Zoya I think you've some major problems with umar !" shehnaaz doesn't back down from answering back.
"Do you even realize how much you have started taking his side ?" adil mentions, what's wrong so much loyalty and softness towards them.
"I haven't just stating facts which ur disagreeing for god knows, what reason ?" she doesn't like it feels embarrassed and ashamed whenever other people talk about their family background, most importantly nature and environment.
They feel too but what they're mostly disliking is shehnaaz's growing feelings towards umar, deep down it's causing tension between them "look, u are right about our family being conservative we agree too cause that's true, but yaar how can you not see them taking influence and trying to push our moral down ?" parks aside to explain her !
"Exactly, I used to laugh when people would say love is blind .. I can now see .. it being real" zoya adds on earning an eye roll from shehnaaz.
"Okay, I agree .. his friends were trying to do but didn't you see him covering up ?" she smiles like a fool literally getting into their nerve due to her recently, differed behavior "are you blind .. can't you see .. what he's doing ?" zoya loses it, shouts in anger when adil gestures her to calm down.
"I really think, he tries to act nice and sweet only to make a fool out of you .. he wants to trap you I just can't believe his bipolar personality switches so quickly that he doesn't .. even give you time to react or doubt him" adil shares his thoughts.
"You two have lost it .. aisa kuch nahi tum log na over horahe ho kyunke uske dostaun ke wajah se hamare ego hurt hogaye .. dekh main nahi jaante tujhe ya phir zoya ko aisa kyun lag raha hai, uske liye mere dil mein feelings hain jiske wajah se ur right I do take his side but woh waisa bilkul nahi jaisa tum log describe kar rahe ho so please usko mere tarah samajhne ke koshish karo, umar isn't just caring he's supportive too !"
It's as if, they're banging their heads against wall better to stay quiet rather than explaining her or giving her reality check .... time will tell teaching home and freshen up, decide how to convince all especially mr akdu khan ?
"Main taaye ammi aur taaya abu ko convince kar lunge, tum dono ... apne akdu bhai ko dekh laina" shehnaaz can sweet talk and convince them what about sidharth, he's a very tough nut to crack !
"Arey, yeh kya baat huwe ?" zoya knows he won't agree especially for her and shehnaaz.
"Bhai, aankhein dekha kar he maar dainge" poor adil complaints eating popcorn "main unke taraf dekhne se darte hoon, baat kya khaak karunge ?" zoe sadly drinks last sip of pepsi then throws the can on her brother "behave, main bhi bada hoon kuch toh izzat karle kar chudail" adil scoffs, zoya chuckles "Ohooo, tum dono bhi na, neeche chalo dinner ka time hone wala hai dekhte hain kya ho sakta hai allah paak please .... is akdu ke dil mein zara reham daal doh" she really wants to take the advantage of these holidays, to spend some alone time with her crush 😍
They settle around the dining table continuously eyeing each-other to start a conversation when a very suspicious sidharth interrupts "kya huwa ?" making, adil chokes on his bite "araam se, kahin jaa nahi raha" scolds him, to munch slowly "you know na, food is life !" adil plasters smile "hmm, daant mat phaar point pe aa .. kya chal raha hai" raises eyebrow "woh ... hume kuch kehna tha" it came from shehnaaz, sidharth nodded.
"Aap se nahi, taaya abu aur ammi se ijazat laine thi actually exam khatum hone ki wajah se na ... hamare uni ne ek zabardast trip organize ke hai jiske liye aapke permission chahiye" she breath out, as it finally, escaped from her mouth.
"Beta .." before shafiq ji, answers sidharth jumps in-between cutting him off "sorry abu jaan, mera irada aapke baat kaatne ka nahi tha lekin main is trip ke haq par nahi hoon" irking shehnaaz, taaya abu and ammi helplessly stare towards their very stubborn child shehnaaz "aap hote kaun hain yeh decide karne wale ?" she angrily, stands up with a thought process of fighting him.
"Baith jaa .." adil whispers, she denies shaking it off angrily standing up for her freedom of choice whose he to jump in the middle ?"
"Yaar araam se baat kar .." zoya pleads, she gave her a sharp glance "kyun, inka joh marzi dil kare yeh karsakte hain lekin main apne marzi se apne tayaa abu aur ammi se, ijazat bhi nahi le sakte ?" she raises voice, he couldn't take it "nahi le sakte us trip mein na jaane kaise ladke honge, main na tumhe jaane dunga na apne behan ko in-fact adil tu bhi ghar pe rahega !" he announced.
"Ajeeb zabardasti hai, aap apne siblings par haq jataye mujh par kyun rob jamaa rahe hain ?" his statement made her furious "tayaa abu, main na sirf aapke aur ammi ke wajah se yahan par hoon kyunke abu aur ammi ke jaane ke baad aap ne ... mere responsibility le .... khala jaan ko na de kar apne beti ki tarah pala, main dil se bohut shukar guzaar hoon, aap mere bade hain isliye mera har faisla bhi aap dono ko laina chahiye na ke inko, I know he means a lot to you but I can't stand him making decisions from me !" her parents are not here to make that's why she depends on them, if they were alive he would have been under limits.
"Just cause mere maa baap zinda nahi hain, iska matlab yeh nahi ke aap mujh pe kisi bhi tarah ka haq jatayenge jab tak ye hain mere faisle lainge !" she utters, unable to endure, breaks the glass for releasing his pent-up aggression "abu jaan, apne ladle se kahiye tameez se baat karna seekhe uske baad haq ke baatein kare" fuming in rage.
"Aap koi nahin hote tameez ke classes daine wale pehle khud seekhiye apne se chotaun ke saath kis tarah ka bartaav kiya jaata hai, jab dekho hum pe hukumat karne ki koshish karte hain ... mana aap ne duniya dekhe huwe hai lekin hume bhi ... dekh ne dijiye, apne hisse kai galatiyaan karke seekhne dijiye, jis tarah taaya abu ne aapko mauka diya us waqt jab aap hamare umar mein thai" he clench's jaw tries his level best to control.
"Bass, enough .. kya hogaya hai aapko shehnaaz ? sidharth ko trips mein jaane ki ijazat kabhi nahin de kyunke unka focus hamesha se padhaye hume business mein help out karne mein raha hai, do u think I could solely, handle urs and mind too ?" it was now shafiq ji showing her reality of sidharth.
"Nahi, mere paas na utne skills hain na samajh I swear aap logon jitna educated bhi nahi hoon ur dad's business is much more successful than it .. was during his lifetime why .. cause of his talent, hard work and dedication ... he wants you to ace in studies taake aap khud handle karein, rahe us trip ke baat sidharth ke kehne se pehle hum na .. kardaite kyunke hum is darr se nahi soh sakte ke hamare bache, shehar se durr kisi ke sahare hain na jaane kaise honge aur aadha waqt, wahan par network issues rehte hain, aap chaho hum kabhi family trip karsakte lekin akele kabhi nahi .. beta sidharth bol ne se pehle apne baap ke bhi sunn .. liya karo .. khaana khao chup chaap !" means the topic is over and elders don't wish to discuss it so they sadly ate food while she, kept cursing fate as she lost chance to spend time with her crush 😞
Shafiq ji, took a leave due to which she ran to her room until then kept sitting there .. out of respect couldn't play, any sort of pretentious game "sunn yaar" adil and zoya ran after her "drame kar walo padhaye nahi hote madam se" zahra ji hits on his arm "uff ammi ?" winces "patience rakha kar har baat pe koodna zaroori nahi na hota kabhi hume bhi handle karne de diya kar" zahra ji, points out as situation wouldn't have gotten so worse.
"Ammi, aap jaante hai main nahi jaraha tha usko kaise jaane daita?" he says, getting upset.
"Aap apne baap ko nahi jaante !" she collects left over plates "dekh naraz hogaye saare raat royegi pura week .. muh sadayegi" he agreed.
"Mat kiya kar, at times .. ignorance is better" he loses cool whenever she tries to question him "I really want you to be patient .. she doesn't know what you are to her so don't expect her to act all normal when you go around bossing her"
"Your right, I just can't control" she sighs, gave him coffee and rushes to see shehnaaz.
"Taaye ammi, aap finally agaye please jakar abu ko manaye na ke hume jaane de .. pleaseee hum yahan karainge bhi kya ?" she emotionally, does blackmailing by tightly hugging zahra ji she's so very well aware of her tricks ❤️
"Aap jaante haina, unke faisle ko hum mein se koi bhi challenge nahi karsakta, rahi baat bore hone ke possible he nahi ... hum haina we'll go shopping, beaches and family dinners ?" pulls cheeks while adoring her "ammi ..." adil made faces "sidharthhh" his eyes widen, she laughs.
"Dekh rahe ho, jinko liye lad rahe ho woh apne bhai se kitna darte hain ?" she nods, pouting at her "kya karun yahe hain mere kismat mein" it offends them "kya matlab ?" she shakes head.
"Maine toh kuch bola he nahi !" she raises her hands up in defense.
