Sidharth pov
When I returned home, I saw some of the drama was performing
I saw that girl, no, I actually saw her back, but who cares, I asked what was going on, mom complained to me about that girl not evacuating the house. I got irritated with her for not listening to mom's command.
But, what Hayat said made my turmoil clear about the promise I made to Azlaan.
As she is an orphan and has no one to live with, that's why Azlaan wanted me to marry her, so that she could have shelter and financial support.
So I will fill his promise, by providing her shelter, food, and all things which she never imagined of, and for doing that marriage is not needed.
I have made the decision not to marry her, as I came to know Azlaan actual reason for the request. Now there is no need to involve in such absurdity as marriage, besides this, no one knows about the promise I made to Azlaan at his deathbed, so for the betterment of all, it's correct to forget it, and will never think of it.
******************
Shehnaaz life hasn't changed a lot, her life is similar and dissimilar from her previous life simultaneously.

Similar, as the hardships were there back then, dissimilar, as she had affirmation that she had someone to call family, her family, who would comfort her when will be needed.
Now she has no one.

Shehnaaz believes her unthankfulness, and moaning on being an orphan, made her an orphan in the real sense, now she knows what loneliness is, and how it dines you like termite
Although, she has thanked God in every prayer she performed
Still, she thinks, She couldn't thank God sufficient for bestowing her with Ama's love.

It's been a week since shehnaaz is working as a cook, she knows cooking well, her Ama tutored her almost everything,
She does not know if they like her food or not as they uttered no words of appreciation.
She comes out of the quarter only for cooking and having food, and most of her time spend in her room only.

"Listen, you sinister, I will soon through you out of my house", told mom bitterly

Shehnaaz was frightened by her sudden coming, she bent her head down, and listened to what mom said.

"What cast you have spelled on my children, you unfortunate girl", mom said dangerously

"Mom, I didn't do anything", hiccupped shehnaaz 

"You!!! Dare you to call me a mom with a black tongue of yours", mom retorted furiously
"I am no one to you" with this she left Kitchen in outrage, leaving weeping shenaaz behind.

Sid: Azlaan, my brother where were you? We were so worried for you

Azlaan why are you step backing
Stop!! Azlaan you will fall
"Bhai you dishearten me," Azlaan said with disappointment
"You deceive me Bhai'
Azlaan don't go
Azlaaaaaan
Sidharth abruptly awakened with a dream, he was perspiring profoundly, he shortly strode to the cabinet, took out an alcohol bottle, and gulp it down
He has been seeing this dream for few days since the day he decided to break a promise.
Even after gulping alcohol, he saw his brother distressed face and unfulfilled eyes
He gulped alcohol till he lost consciousness.

Shehnaaz pov 
Mom warned me to call her mom, wasn't she the same one who asked me to call her mother, what has happened to her now?
I know she is disturbed, but I truly took her as a mother, and whose child stop calling them mother when they are angry with them?
She herself said I am like Hayat to her, would she also resist Hayat calling her mom if she gets upset with her? No 
Nor Hayaat would abide her this order.
Shehnaaz came out of her trance by the knock on the door
"Bhabi were you crying" Hayat showed her concern by noticing shehnaaz red eyes
"Bhabi I am sorry on my mother's behalf" Hayaat mumbled pitifully

"Hayaat it's ok she is like a mother to me, and I didn't mind it, she has the right to say", shehnaaz assured Hayaat

"Bhabi you have a great heart, I love your positive attitude towards life" Hayat praised shehnaaz

Hayaat
Hayaat
"Bhabi I have to go bhai is calling me, please feel free to ask anything you want" Hayat encouraged shehnaaz
