Epilogue 1

She couldn't shake of the dread that had settled deep on her heart. A fear so intense, gripping her whole being and she's not even certain that why she's feeling like this, perhaps it had to do something about the continuous feeling of being watched. She had tried to stop the dreadful feeling as she hadn't encountered anything or anyone with odd behavior but since some time she could feel as if someone watching her continuously everywhere and the feeling itself made her wary and she's sure it's not a assumption. She will talk to Afreen aunty about this matter after Inayat's wedding.

"Arey yeh phulon ki lariyan zara dhang se lagao, agar Inayat ko pasand nhi aayein toh sab kuch dobara karna parega." Afreen aunt's tired voice made her snap out of her disturbing thought as she ignored the heavy feeling of dread and shook her head. The wedding is in two days and the preparations is going on full swing. And she didn't want stress herself with unnecessary tension.

"Aunty aap jaayein mai karwati hun yeh sab." Sayra told her after seeing her tired form who relaxed at her soft tone and hummed in response and smiled lightly. She had just came after three hours of shopping with Soniya. The driver kept the shopping bags on the couch where Soniya is sitting now, who  closed her eyes tiredly and kept her feet on the glass table.
Afreen aunty told a maid for Chay and left from there all the while trying to appear less disturbed with her son's absence. She's happy for her only daughter But Ibrahim's absence is making her upset. Her only son is missing from such a important day.
her eyes glistening with fresh tears for her son. Ibrahim hadn't thought about them and had clearly forgotten them, why he became so selfish. She misses him, oh she misses him so much and she knows every single individual of khan villa miss him too but what could she do, he didn't talk to her even now, nor he's been touch with anybody else minus Inayat and her mother. He had left a void in her heart with his hasty decision.

Holding a bag which has nani jaan's dresses for the functions She told the decorators who nodded their head in affirmation.

"Nani jaan ko dresses dikha do, kya pta unhe pasand aaye ya nhi." Soniya said taking a bite from the hot pakode.

"Haan bas ja hi rhi hun. Har kaam inke sar pe rehkar karwana parta hai. Ufff." Huffing in irritation Sayra left for nani jaan's bedroom after instructing them some more. Tomorrow is Inayat's mehandi followed by her nikaah and the whole house is a chaos. After all Inayat is her family's princess and they tend to do everything in their capabilities to insure that she's happy.
A grin lit her face while thinking about her best friend who had been her rock since she had came to live here.

"Ibbi please beta ab wapis aa jao. Kya sukoon milta hai tumhe mujhse Yun minnatein karwa ke. Kuch toh apni budhi nani ka khayal kro. Kam se kam Inayat ka toh socho. Ek laute bhai ho tum uske aur tum......." she pleaded softly.

"Nani please aap toh samjhein mujhe.....Mai nhi aa sakta.....Mai majbur hoon.....aap aise zidd na......."His voice oozed with helplessness and guilt.

"Bhai mai aapke yeh excuses nhi sun rhi . Agar aap nhi aaye toh mai.....bhul jaungi k...kki...Mera koi.......bh..bhai bhi.hai.... " her crying tone made him restless as he pinched his nose frustratingly.
"...ab aap khud hi fai....faisla kar lein..." Inayat sniffed lightly trying her best to not cry. Her nani rubbed her back soothingly, her own tears flowing.
she sighed deeply after cutting the call not letting him speak any further who rubbed his forehead in irritation.
Unknown to him a lone tear slipped from Sayra's eyes. She had hoped to see him in this wedding. Hurt is a small word for what she felt, she felt like he's crushing her fragile heart in his fist. Quietly giving the shopping bags to a  maid she left for her safe heaven, her bedroom.

"Mujhe fark nhi padta unke hone ya na hone se." She washed her face with cold water and told her reflection who smiled ruefully at her while her heart protested against her statement.
