Jageer-e-Mohabbat - جاگیرِ محبت
In the heart of rural Pakistan, amidst the opulent estates of feudal lords, there existed a tale of love and enmity that defied societal norms. At the center of this story were two individuals whose initial animosity...
As Gulnaz retreated to her room, her heart heavy with the weight of Barlas Lala's reprimand, she collapsed onto her bed, tears streaming down her cheeks. She felt a whirlwind of emotions engulfing her—a profound sense of shame and disappointment in herself, mingled with the raw pain of being misunderstood and judged.
In the solitude of her room, Gulnaz's sobs echoed, a symphony of anguish that seemed to resonate with the walls around her. She felt utterly disheartened, as if the world had conspired against her, leaving her stranded in a sea of uncertainty and regret.
It was in this vulnerable moment that Leila, sensing Gulnaz's distress, entered the room. "Gul, don't cry please?" Leila's voice was gentle, a soothing balm to Gulnaz's wounded spirit.
Gulnaz looked up, her tear-stained eyes meeting Leila's compassionate gaze. "I... I don't know, Leila," she murmured, her voice trembling with emotion. "Barlas Lala... he was so angry... he doesn't understand..He said I shouldn't have gone near the Mirani territory. He made me feel like I've done something terribly wrong.."
Leila sat beside Gulnaz, offering her a comforting embrace. "Sometimes, people react out of concern, Gul," she said softly. "Barlas Lala may not have expressed it well, but perhaps he was worried about you."
Gulnaz nodded, finding solace in Leila's words. Yet, beneath the surface, a storm of anger brewed within her—a simmering rage directed not just at Barlas's scolding but also at Siraj, whose actions had sparked this confrontation.
"It's that Mirani's fault," she muttered angrily. "If he hadn't provoked Barlas lala with his words, he wouldn't have raised his voice at me."
Just then, Orazay entered the room, his expression filled with concern. "Gul, are you alright?" he asked, his voice laced with worry.
Gulnaz's tears subsided, replaced by a flicker of resentment and defiance. "Orazay Lala, It's all because of Siraj, he provoked Barlas lala, we didn't do anything wrong" she replied, her tone tinged with restrained anger. "It's just... everything seems so unfair. Why does Siraj have to provoke Barlas lala? Why can't they leave us alone?"
Orazay sighed, understanding Gulnaz's frustration. "I know it's difficult, Gul," he said, sitting beside her. "But we must try to calm down and handle this situation calmly. We don't want things to escalate further."

As Leila and Orazay exited Gulnaz's room, a tense atmosphere lingered in the air, thick with unspoken emotions and hidden agendas. Orazay stood at the top of the stairs, his silhouette framed against the soft glow of the hallway lights. His eyes, dark pools of contemplation, remained fixed on Leila's graceful descent down the staircase. Each step she took seemed to echo in the silence, drawing his attention like a moth to a flame.
