Shahnoor's POV:-

After that dream and offering my salah, i read quran for 30 mints than I got up and woke up ammi as she is a fast sleeper.

"Ammi, wake up you will miss your prayer." I said while shaking her.

"OH! Allah, whats the time shahno?" She asked with putting her dupatta on her head and walking towards bathroom.

"Its 6:15 ammi."

"Only 15 mints left, Ya Allah shahno, why didn't u woke me up early?" she asked angrily.

"Ammi sorry, now offer your salah or you will be late." I said changing the topic as I dont want to make her worried because of a dream.

"Oh yeah okay."

Third person's POV:-

After completing her salah Mrs.Rukhsar made breakfast for shahnoor and called her in kitchen.

"Shahno, I am sorry, I couldn't make paratha(A kind of indian dish made with flour and veggies and fried in oil.)" Mrs.Rukhsar said in a sad tone to shahnoor as she sat on table.

"Ammi what happened? why are you shouting so depressed?" Shahnoor asked her mother worriedly.

"Shahno, my bacchi(daughter)." Mrs.Rukhsar started crying suddenly.

"Ammi tell me what happened?" Shahnoor asked her mother as she made her sit on a chair in front of her.

"Shahnoor we have ran out of groceries, we don't have anything left besides some soya beans and spicies.I got to know this last night when I was preparing dinner, However I made the dinner, But when I," Mrs.Rukhsar started crying silently she dont want the other two male in the house to hear her crying.

"Ammi, it's okay I'll eat bread for now and I have some of my saving so it would be enough for buying groceries." Shahnoor said.

"No shahno, you are my daughter it would be haram(Forbidden/sin) in Islam for us to eat with your money."Mrs.Rukhsar said.

"Why, ammi? Why it would be haram to eat with the money that you gave me for my pocket money." Shahnoor asked her with sadness laced in her voice.

"It may be our money but when I gave it to you it became yours and we cant use your money as you are our daughter and it is forbidden in islam." Mrs.Rukhsar said.

"Ammi why is there such a rule? When you and baba never thought once before spending so much money on me." Shahnoor said.

"Because it is said in Islam that daughter is the guest of your house while son remains in the house daughter leaves her home after marriage which is an order by hr creator.so you see we cant use your money." Mrs.Rukhsar explained her daughter.

"But she can help us If her parents were in trouble." Mr.Sharif shahnoor's father told them from the entrance of the kitchen.Both Mrs.Rukhsar and shahnoor look towards him.

"Are you out of your mind? What will people think?When they will get to know that you are eating your daughter's money." Mrs.Rukhasr said to him angrily.

"WHAT ARE YOU SAYING WOMEN? IF TODAY WE ARE IN THIS SITUATION THAN IT IS BECAUSE OF YOU!" Mr.Sharif shouted at his wife.

"What do you mean by that? Its you who took so much loan and now we dont have anything to eat."Mrs.Rukhsar said while gritting her teeth.

"If I had married a literate and rich women than I wouldn't have to go through such problem>" Mr.Sharif said looking disgustingly towards Mrs.Rukhsar.

"Baba, what are you saying?" Shahnoor said in a whispering but enough for them to hear.

"You don't have to interfere between us, If you have money than bring groceries while coming back from college." Mr.Sharif told strictly to her daughter.

"I will baba, but you don't have to talk to ammi like that." Shahnoor said to her dad.

"Look, I told you not to interfere or I will also take you back to India, where you all beg or crave for a life like here." He said to shahnoor.

"Baba."

"SHUTUP!!" Mr.Sharif shouted on his daughter.
which made shahnoor flinched hard hearing his voice.

"Dont shout at my daughter, you shout on me or beat me but dont you dare to shout at my daughter." Mrs.Rukhsar warned her husband while showing him index finger.

"Or else what you will do, huh?" Mr.Sharif said glaring at his wife.

"I will leave you and take my childrens with me." Mrs.Rukhasr warned her husband.

"Oh Really!than go, It would be good for me because burdens like you all will be off of my shoulders." Mr.Sharif said mockingly.

Shahnoor's POV:-

How can baba say such thing?Are we not his childrens?
He wasn't like this before , we were use to be his lifeline thats the thing he use to say but today we became a burden on him?
YaAllah! Please give us sabr.

"Now we became burden on you?"Ammi asked baba while crying.

"Yes useless people like you all can be a burden only." Baba said and than looked towards me and continued,

"Look here girl' I dont made you study just to make you sit at home, go find some job." Baba said.

"ARE YOU REALLY OUT OF YOUR MIND?!!" This time Ammi shouted.

"SHUTUP!" Baba shouted.

"Please, both of you don't fight please," I said while crying.

"I will find a job baba but please don't get angry." I said.

"Shahnoor." Ammi whispered.

"Ammi please, Just for my or Allah's sake don't say a word." I Said to her.

I wasn't a kind of person who would cry easily on any situation.
I use to be a strong and confident one to solve mine as well as others problem.
I respect my ammi and baba and I want them to be happy together and if I have to work for that than I will work no matter what.
