Noor's eyes were red. Haider looked at his wife who has demanded his time for the first time.
Haider pulled her chin up and all he could see were the tears in her eyes.
"Mujhe Ruksati nahi karni hai. Aap sabko mana karden." Noor's words and her eyes were saying two different things.
"Baad mein karni hai?" Haider asked calmly.
"Nahi.."
"Toh Phir.."
"Mujhe..karni hi nahi hai. Aap kisi aur se shaadi karlen."
Noor turned and was about to leave when Haider pulled her in his arms.
"Itni asaani se keh diya Noor."
"Mein nahi chahti aap mere liye koi bhi sacrifice karen. Mujhe apni asliyat pata nahi thi.. lekin ab pata hai." Tears were falling continuously from her eyes and Haider wasn't even attempting to wipe them.
"Sacrifice? Main koi sacrifice nahi kar raha hun."
"Lekin mujhe saaf saaf dikh raha hai kya ho raha hai. I don't need anyone's pity."
Haider jerked her away from him.
"Fine, mat karo Ruksati. Par meri mohabbat ko Sacrifice ya pity ka naam dekar ruswa mat karo."
