The weekend have passed in blur as much as Zaira and Haadi wanted it to pass slowly it went fast.
It was now sunday night and both and Hadi and Zaira were on the verge of hyperventilating. Both of them didn't care for exams and now they were scared very scared for the results.
Both of them were scared of Haider more than their parents or anyone else it was Haider who have been scaring them. Haider always gets to much intrigued in their results and bad results irk him alot since he puts more effort in their exams than their own selves.
Zaira was in her room continuously trying to remember what have she wrote in exams but much to her displeasure she wasn't able to recall anything she was just not able to count her marks that is when Mishi entered inside her room.
"Ira chalo dinner ka time horaha hai." Mishi called.
"Mishi mera dil nhi hai!" Zaira replied.
"Kia matlab dil nahi ha? Result ki tension horahi hai?" Mishi sat on bed and asked gently.
Zaira nodded.
"Mishi bhaiya mujhe zinda dafna denge bhot datnge mujhe bhot dar lagraha ha." She was on the verge of tears.
"Itna bure exams likhe ha tumne?" Mishi asked concerned.
"Mujhe kuch yaad nhi araha hai! Mene kia likha kia leken abbi lagraha ha me fail hojangi!" Zaira said crying.
"Acha Ira ro to nahi na! Bhaiya ke alawa koi gussa tak nhi krta tumhe chote baba sambhal lenge bhaiya ko." Mishi tried to relax her.
"Nahi mama ne kaha tha is bar wo kisi ko bhaiya ko rokne nhi dengi or bhaiya wo akele hi kafi hai!" Zaira cried more.
"Bhaiya sirf gussa nahi honge Zaira! Wo hurt honge unhone bhot mehant se parhaya ha tumhe!" Mishi said.
"Mene promise mehant ki thi Mishi! Mene dil laga kr parhai ki thi isse ziyada mujhse hota nahi hai!" Zaira replied sniffing.
"Acha chordo ye sab stress tabiyat bigar jaygi! Just relax okay kal ki kal dekhnge abhi ajou dinner krlo wrna sab pareshan hojange." Mishi tried convincing her.
Zaira nodded.
"Me thora fresh hokar ati hu!" She replied and walked towards the washroom.
"Baba?" Haadi was playing video game with Hatim when he suddenly stopped and asked.
"Yes?" Hatim replied.
"Ap mujhe mama or bhaiya se bachaloge?" He asked cutely.
Hatim sharply tilted his head and gave him a look.
"Kia matlab ha iss baat ka?" Hatim asked with raised brows.
"Matlab mujhe aisa lagraha ha mere sab subjects ke ache marks aynhe leken maths me thore kam! I promise kisi me fail nhi honga mene sab ke passing marks calculate karke usse 15 20 marks ka ziyada hi kia tha! I mean kia sab tha leken meri calculation ke hisab se passing marks se 20 marks ziyada ka sahi kia tha." He explained.
Hatim bit his smile to stop expressing his amusement.
"100 marks ke paper ke passing marks hote ha 45 agar use 20 marks ziyada bhi kia to toh 65 that makes your grade drop to C right? Aur beta C grade me mama or bhaiya ke sath sath me bhi pitai krunga." Hatim replied.
"Baba yar please!" Haadi whined.
"Don't Haadi! Bhot time dia tha sabne parhlo parhlo leken parhna nhi tha ab jo hoga call you will face it on your own na mein mama ko rokunga or na me Haider to se himayat (protection) se karunga." Hatim replied firmly.
"Ap to nahi maroge na jese bhai ko mara tha usdin?" Haadi asked in low voice.
Hatim regretted scaring his son but when he shared it with his wife she told him that it was needed he won't apologise to him.
"Haadi fail hue toh paka marunga samjhe?" Hatim replied.
"Arey fail nhi honga paka!" Haadi replied exasperated.
"Dekhnge kal!" Hatim smirked.
"Chale dinner krte ha mujhe stress me double bhook lagti hai." Haadi stood up.
Hammad and Hamza were sitting next to each other and both of them were trying hard to control their laughter.
Both Zaira and Haadi were being very funny one was eating like a mad racoon and other one was not even touching the food.
Both of them were trying hard to keep their gazes away from Haider as he was just looking at them with piercing eyes.
"Zaira khana na khane se result acha to aa nhi jayega isliye khalo!" Zeenat said loudly grabbing everyones attention.
Hamza and Hammad laughed loudly giving each other a high five. Harib tried glaring at them but ended up smiling big.
Haider smirked and Hassan gave his wife a disappointed look.
"Mera hogaya!" Zaira pushed her plate and ran upstairs.
"Result ane se phele sabko stress hota hai! Khana khane deti usse bachi ha darwi hai." Rabia glared at Zeenat who rolled her eyes in return.
"Haadi beta bas krjaaa!" Hamza said to Haadi when he found him taking more rice.
Harib whacked the back of his hand.
"Chup krjou." He said.
"Mujhe bhook lagrahi haina!" Haadi replied.
"Haadi beta khaou khaou kal to wese hi joote khane hai." Hammad added and once again both him and Hamza laughed.
"Bare baba!" Haadi snitched.
"Hammad Hamza enough!" Haroon said firmly.
Both of them glared at Haadi but the commotion on table finally stopped.
The shah family was also having dinner when Raha pocked her brother.
Rafay raised his brows gesturing her to continue.
"Pass to hojoge na?" She asked with tight lipped smile.
"Shut up!" Rafay pocked her stomach.
"Bhot zuban chalne lagai ha! Khana khaou apna." Rafay scolded and she laughed.
"Mama ye bhot batameez hogai hai." Rafay complained to his mother.
Alia chooses not to reply as she focused on her food.
"Kia hua?" Shah Alam asked.
"Raha bhaiya se poochrahi ha pass hojoge? Bhaiya ko gussa agaya." Raahil replied to his dad.
Rafay picked up a spoon all set to throw on Raahil's head.
"Rafay!" His father took the spoon from his hands.
"In dono ki zuban bhot chalne lagi ha! Inka bhi to result ha parso." Rafay said to his father.
"Ye dono tops krte ha apni class." Alia spoke for the first time.
"Mama me bhi acha parhta hu ab!" Rafay was quick to complain.
Alia smirked.
"Don't worry! I have seen you working hard and that is what matters for me." Shah Alam put his hand on his son's and assured him.
"Working hard doesn't matters for me! Result acha nhi aya na phir Haider pass tuition lagwadungi!" Alia gave the same warning that she has been giving for years now.
"Maaf krde mujhe!" Rafay joined his hands in front of his mother.
Alia smirked again and twins laughed.
"Bas bacho!" Shah Alam stopped them he can see Rafay getting worked up he won't allow his other children to add stress to his oldest son.
"Results doesn't matter as long as your studying. Han Rafay your result will decide your college your future university but that is a life choice you will make for your self as your parents we both scolded you and warned you punished you throughout your childhood but from now onwards its on you. Ache college me jana ha ya nhi agey achi credibility wali university se parhan ha ya nhi its all upto you.
We won't scold you and punish you for your results in 10th grade infact its time you show us how much our hardwork since you were a child have worked out." Shah Alam very gently said hard words.
"Ap mujhe daant lena baba leken ye sah bolo yar!" Rafay was to agitated.
"Behave!" Sham Alam said but gently.
"Sorry." Rafay was quick to apologise.
"You think you have given your best?" He asked his son.
Rafay nodded.
"Than this is it. Don't worry yourself anymore jitni mehnat krte ha unta hi milta na kam na ziyada."
He said fairly.
Rafay nodded.
The scenes of kaamal family weren't any different either.
It was one of the days when their mothers feels very low. Shameem was still not able to get over her husband's death. That man was her World he gave his everything to his wife but he himself left her.
There are days when Shameem misses him to much and cries a lot on these days Zaayan stays with her and try to do his best in comforting her.
Today Zaayan fed his mother food first than gave her medication early hence making her sleep at 8:30 only.
The Khan brothers were sitting on dining table and Zaayan was feeding Ayaan with his hands. Raayan was awfully quite because the least he wanted for his result day was his mother getting sick and his brother getting stressed.
"Ayu please thora sa aur!" Zaayan tried feeding him more.
"Bas na bhaiya!" Ayaan was in no mood to have more food.
"Acha four bites aur please!" Zaayan patiently asked.
"No!" Ayaan replied.
"Enough Ayaan! Khana khatam kro apna!" Raayan snapped.
"Raayan!" Zayaan said sternly.
Ayaan flinched at loud voice of his brothers.
Zaayan leaned forward and took Ayaan on his lap. Ayaan buried his face in his brother's chest as he felt sad getting yelled out.
"Four more bites Ayu than you are done please." Zaayan requested.
Ayaan looked up and opened his mouth allowing his brother to feed him.
Zaayan fed him the rest of his food and once they were done he pecked his head couple of times.
"Go! Thori deair TV dekho." Zayaan allowed him to run away.
"Wash your hands first Ayu." Zaayan yelled when Ayaan ran away.
Now Zaayan locked his gaze with Raayan and gave him a disapproving look.
"Sorry!" Raayan said quickly.
"I know you are stressed but this doesn't give you a right to misbehave! Jo bhi result ayega you would have brought it upon yourself. I hate people getting all emotional before results everyone have plenty of time beforehand jab tab parwa nhi ki to ab bhi nahi krni chaiye!" Zaayan said.
"Bhaiya I worked really hard!" Raayan was to quick to defend himself.
"Than don't worry! I hope for your sake that your hard works pays off! Clean up and head to bed you are clearly not in a mood to mingle." Zaayan said and left for his living room where Ayaan was watching TV.
Raayan angrily pushed his plate away he was so done with his life. He misses his father he misses the time when his brother used to sing songs for him whenever he used to get to sad he misses the brother who sleeps while holding him. This brother of his was someone he doesn't even know he wants to have his brother back.
After the dinner in Ahmedaani family Zeenat called Mishi.
"Ji choti mama?" Mishi asked.
"Beta Ye lo Zaira ko kuch khilado!" Zeenat gave a plate full on sandwich and french fries for Zaira.
French fries were Zaira's comfort food she will eat it even in stress.
"Mama mera laptop bag dekha ha?" Haider came to his mother.
"Kia hua?" He asked when he found zeenat talking to Mishi.
"Kuch nhi hua bas Zaira ka khana derahi hu." Zeenat replied.
"Iski bechari ka baat kha manegi woh! De mujhe me khilata hu usse Mishi beta mera laptop dhoondho tab tak apne pagal bhai se poocho me ata hu." Haider took the tray and walked towards Zaira's room.
Zaira was sitting on her bed watching her favourite indian comedy sitcom.
Haider entered inside and placed the plate on side table.
"Pass hone ke koi chances ha?" Haider asked sitting next to Zaira.
"Bhaiya!" Zaira rolled her eyes.
"Zaira agar ap chahrahi ha hum sab apko bole Zaira beta koi baat nhi jesa result ayega hum krlnge manage to ye sab me to nhi karaha ha mene bhot mehnat ki ha Do hafte tum dono ko parhaya ha over time kia ha I need results mene exams shuru hone se phele hi khedia tha I need results nahi aya I will be hurt disappointed and ANGRY! Ap jo hoga wo subha hi hoga isliye have some food." Haider said.
Zaira nodded scared.
Once making sure Zaira is done Haider picked up the plate and started walking outside. He came back to Zaira and kissed her head and left after ruffling her hairs. Zaira smiled as his one action was enough to show how much he loves her.
Next morning around 6am when gents came home after fajr prayer. Everybody god shocked when they heard Zeenat's yell.
"Kia hua?" Rabia came outside from kitchen and everyone else descended the stairs quickly.
"Mama kia hua?" Haider asked.
"Nani!" Wo seedhio se slip hogai! Mujhe jan ha abhi unko hospital legaye hai!" Zeenat replied while crying.
"Ya Allah! Wo theek ha?" Fatima their grandmother asked.
"Patanhi ama! Apko pata ha bhabhi kuch bhi seedhe tareeqe se nhi batati! Ek voice message krdia ha unhone ne!" Zeenat cried.
"Kuch nhi hua hoga unho chalo hum chalte ha forran!" Haasan picked his keys and asked her to come.
"Baba hum aye?" Hamza asked.
"Nahi! Hum update krnge! You guys stay home." Hassan said and both him and Zeenat left the house.
The realisation drawn upon Zaira now that his parents weren't here Haider would come with her to school she remembers the last time when Haider heard his complaints he punished her so much and after so many years he will again come to school with her.
