" shehnaaz bacha opens the door it's me your brother," Hamid said banging on the door.
" please bacha aap apne bahi ko aise pressan krengi, waise bhi mein itne din baad aaya hu"
" apk saath koi aur toh nh hai na, maine kisi se baat nh krni" he looked back at rukshaar and his cousins, understanding the situation they went to their rooms.
" nh koi nh hai aap darwaza khole"
She opened the door, her face is all puffed up, eyes were red because of all the crying she did.
" bacha ye ky halat banayi Hui hai, aise bhala koi karta hai apne saath" he wiped out her tears when she again starts crying hugging him.
" ai...se...ky..u" she hiccupped breathing heavily.
" shhhh shhhh ek dum chup ye le pani peeye" resting her head on his shoulder she closed her eyes while Hamid stroked her hair.
" unkoo nh pta na, aap logo ne unse ye baat chipayi, dhoka diya unhe" she whispered.
"Kar dete mera nikkah kisi aur se apko unki zindagi kharab kyu krni thi"
" tum phupho ki baat ko dil se mat lagao woh toh bolti rehti hai"
" lekin sach hi toh kha na unhone, taya abbu ne taras kha ke apne bete ko merse baandh dia woh bhi unki marzi ke khilaf"
************
" abbu apne ye baat mujhko pehle kyu nh btayi" sidharth asked her father.
" ky btata mein, sultan ne toh mujhe kitni daffa mana bhi kia ki ye theekh nh hai lekin shehnaaz ke liye jaise rishte aa rhe the koi divorcee koi paralysed, kisi ke bache me apni beti ko aise hi kisi ke saath nh baandh skta tha humare jigar ka tukda hai woh"
" toh apko ish baat se koi frq nh padega agr aage chl ke humari aulad na ho"
" dhukh toh hoga thoda bhut par ish baat ki khushi bhi hogi ki meri beti ache haatho me hai"
" aapne isliye mujhe kasam di thi, apko lagta tha ki me ye sachai sunke mana kr deta"
" nh us waqt tum naraz the gussa the, aur me nh chahta tha ki tum taras kaho,"
" agar sidharth beta tumhe koi sikkayat hai ya namanzoor hai toh hume koi dikkat nh hai tum ushe talaq de skte ho" sultan stated coming into the room with asma.
" faisla tumhara hai mujhe maaf krna mujhe nh pta tha bahijaan ne ye baat chipayi hai tumse,"
" ha hume laga ki tumhe sb sachayi pta hai tum shehnaaz ki fiqar mat karna ushe me smjhe doongi" asma further added.

" btao bhala fatima maine isme ky galat keh dia tum toh achi hi itni ho ki tum maan gyi mein hoti toh kabhi nh manti, btao ek hi toh ladka hai uske bhi bache na hue toh khaandan aage kese badhega, mana shehnaaz humari apni bachi hai bhut pyari hai kisi ko dhukh nh degi lekin ye kami toh koi puri nh kar skta na chlo aaj tumhare man me nh hai lekin kal ko kabhi na kabhi toh tumhara man bhi krega, log sawal bhi krenge, ab sultan bhaijaan ko toh lagta hai unki ladki laakhon me ek hai, kitne rishte leke aayi thi mein ek se badhkar ek, thodi bhut khamiyan toh sbme pati hai, pehle toh kitni biwiyan hoti thi" yusra speaks.
Fatima was compelled to give a thought to what yusra just said, she was nowhere wrong, every word she spoke was true after all she only has one son.
************
The whole day shehnaaz didn't come out of her room, she thinks, cries and sleep again and again following the same pattern.
Sidharth knocked at her door but she didn't answer, he knocked on it again but the door remains unopened.
" shehnaaz open the door please" he yelled banging the door.
" shehnaaz I am giving you last warning to open the door" she gets up from her sleep listening to the faint sounds coming from the outside, stepping out of the bed she opened the door.
He observes her, she looked tired, pale, weak and exhausted, her eyes are barely opened, her hair is tied in a messy bun from which some hair locks scatter here and there, and her lips have fresh cuts.
" shehnaaz" he called her in a state of shock.
" a..aap j..aye" she replied trying to close the door, he entered the room swiftly closing the door he stared at her, she sits at one corner of the bed, eyes cascading down, fingers playing with each other in nervousness.
" Jaan" he uttered kneeling in front of her shivering figure, his eyes held worry and tears looking at her in this state.
" aap jaye mujhe apse baat nh krni, jaye akela chor de na mujhe, aise kyu dekhne aaye hai mujhe, I am sorry I am sorry merko nh pta tha apko nh pata mujhe khuch nh pta tha, sbne milke apko dhokha dia, aap jaye chor de mujhe, mein...." she stopped lying down on the mattress turning her face from him, she sobbed, discarding his shoes he joined her on the bed hugging her tightly from the behind, she wriggled in his arms but he tightened his grip by entangling his legs with hers.
" mujhe koi frq nh padta ki" he stopped mid-sentence
" you are burning with fever Janam" he whispered in the crook of her neck, but she didn't reply for a while, turning her to himself, he tried to wake her up but she didn't wake up.......
" woh sajda hi ky
Jisme sar uthane ka hosh rhe
Izhare ishq ka maza toh tab hai
Jab woh khamosh rhe aur aankeinh byan kre"
