"Baba." Zaira approached her father ignoring Hatim's command.

"Go inside!" Hassan ordered without glancing at her. He knew the moment he will look in her eyes he will melt and today he doesn't want his sons to take over.

"Chalo andar." Haider was about to drag her inside.

"Hamza Haider ruko." Hassan called his sons.

"Hatim! Haadi or Zaira ko lekar andar jaou." Hassan ordered.

Zaira and Haadi followed Hatim and Hassan approached his sons.

"Calm down!" Hassan squeezed Hamza's shoulder and said softly.

"I can not." Hamza replied.

"Kuch aisa kia tumne jo nahi krna chaiye? You slapped Haadi but did you touch her?" Hassan asked in firm tone.

Hadier also looked at him expecting a answer he will under no circumstances allow his brother to hurt her in any way.

"Nahi baba! I grabbed her and pushed her in car." Hamza replied.

"Itna gussa kyu Hamza? Jahan tak mujhe pata ha you have also bunked phir itna gussa kyu?" Hassan asked.

"Baba baat bunk ki nahi hai! I told her specifically not to go! Baba it wasn't safe wo phir bhi gai. Whatever she did was a straightaway disrespect." Hamza replied.

"You should have told me Hamza! Mujhe khete ha ye sab baat me krta usse baat meri samajh me ye nahi ate mere zinda hote tum dono mujhe side me krke uske baap kyu ban jate ho?" Hassan's voice increased.

"Baba kesi batein karahe hai?" Haider asked.

"Bare bhai ko pura haq hota sahi galat sikhane ka daante gussa krne ka leken ek limit ke andar har cheez tum dono krloge to me kia karunga! Agar tumhe khadsha (doubt) tha ke august ke month me ye sab hota hai toh you should have told me Hamza." Hassan wasn't scolding but his tone was firm.

"Baba me batadeta I promise leken mene usse poocha uska kia plan hai and she told me straight away no! Ankhon me ankhein daal kar boldia ke uska koi plan nahi hai to mene bhi uspe trust krlia." Hamza replied.

"I know both of you love her more than anything but ab bachi nahi ha woh! Ankhein dikha kar daant kar teenagers ko control nahi kia jata. Agar mujhe pata hota me betha uske pass use pros and cons batata samjata tumhe kis baat ka daar tha ye batata sirf ye khedene se kam nhi chalta Hamza ke bhaiya ne mujhe daanta tha ya maara tha usse pata ha uspe koi hath nahi uthega to usne tumhe serious nahi lia." Hassan said caressing Hamza's sad face.

"I am sorry baba! Mujhe apko batana chaiye leken asal galti to Mishaal ki haina!" Hamza'a tone changed it turned dark.

"Matlab?" Haider asked.

"Confirm krne de mujhe Zaira se phele." Hamza replied.

"Chalo andar dono but mind you boys! Let me take the lead." Hassan said firmly.

"Ap krnege kuch?" Haider asked.

"Are you not happy with the way you turned out? Haider do you think I don't know how to parent?" Hassan sharply looked at Haider.

"Mene aisa kuch nahi kaha baba! Bs Zaira ko ziyada lad krte haina ap!" Haider replied shrinking under his gaze.

"Chale is phele chachu sab krle." Hamza said trying to calm the situation.

Harib's car entered the house he and Hammad went to pick Mishi on their way.

They all entered inside the house at the same time.

"Kia hua hai?" Zeenat asked coming to her husband. She has been asking Hatim since past one minute but the guy was only glaring at troublemakers and not replying to any of them.
