• Few days were difficult and crucial times for everyone. Tamanna was taking care of her mother, and siblings like a elder person. She has been staying awake every night because the absence of her father was tormenting her deeply, and even Ruslaan's unresponsive behaviour with her was making her realise how badly she has wounded his heart, which still beats on the rhythm of her name. She has undergone major changes in her life, which she never expected to happen so earlier or uninvitedly. She was alive, but she felt her corpse was living this breathless and unwanted life. She had no wish to live anymore, she just wanted to declare herself as a Dead Person, so that people wouldn't question her well-being every now and then. She is literally tired of answering everyone that she is fine, and she is gradually recovering from the trauma. She isn't cured yet, she needs emotional support, most importantly her husband's support at this time. She wants Ruslaan to take care of her, pamper her, love her madly, and make her feel special and better. But she shouldn't expect anything from him, because She has broken his heart not one time but thousand times in just a fraction of second, those three words, that She loves Azlan were enough to murder his feelings brutally.

• Ruslaan wasn't only hurted by her way of concealing her love for Azlan, but also He was unintentionally slaughtered by her words, he used to feel He is overreacting on their pious friendship, he is overthinking, he is switching himself into a controlling and insecure man, but He was right. Tamanna never considered his elder brother as a friend, he was everything to her. Her First Love, and Her Last Love as well, because he knows She will never love him the way he does to her, she will never accept him as her husband, as her good companion. She might have told him that she isn't interested anymore in Azlan, but that wasn't true and satisfying, he saw the shine of pain in her beautiful eyes while confessing her one-sided love to him. He was always like an eliminated person in the competition of winning her heart. Azlan won her without ever doing anything, he coerced Tamanna to have feelings for him in her heart, which She never developed for Ruslaan. The one who always sacrificed his happiness for her priceless smile, who always stood by her side no matter what, who always consoled her whenever the situation was disturbing and unhealthy for her mind, who always allowed her to triumph against him in every game of life.

He was sleeping on his mother's lap, and his eyes were closed, lost in Tamanna's thoughts. Tasneem lovingly caressed his hair, and asked him - "Kya hua mere bache ko?"

"Kuch nahi ammi...zindagi se hatash hoon bas." Ruslaan replied to her in a low voice, and took a deep sigh.

"Tamanna se ladai hui?" She asked him softly, and He shook his head with a bitter expression for his deceitful wife on his lifeless face.

"Ladai toh tab hogi na ammi...jab baat hogi, hum toh ek dusre se baat hi nahi kar rahe hai." He answered her honestly, and Tasneem looked at her son in shock. Why aren't they talking with each other? What is going on between this totally immature couple?

"Dekho beta, main nahi janti tum dono ke bich kya hua hai...aur kya chal raha hai aaj kal jis wajah se tum dono ke darmiyaan itni doori aa gayi hai...par is halat me tumhe Tamanna ko akele nahi chodna chahiye hai, us bechari ne apne abbu ko khoya hai...is waqt use tumhari...apne shohar ke saath ki bahut zarurat hai, tum dono ka nikaah hua hai...koi jaani dushman nahi ho tum log pehle ki tarah, samjho is rishte ko, waqt do ek dusre ko, halat chahe kitne bhi kharab ho lekin Miya Biwi ko humesha ek dusre ko sambhalna chahiye hai...har mushkil, har daur me. Koi bhi nikaah sirf aise hi nahi nibhaya jata hai beta, bahut kuch khona aur karna padhta hai aagewale ki khushi ke liye. Humesha sab kuch humare hisab se nahi hoga, kabhi kabhi aisa bhi waqt aata hai jahan humein lagta hai ki bas...ab mujhe iske saath nahi rehna hai, main yeh sab bardasth nahi kar sakta...wagera wagera, lekin is baat ko humein soch kar wahi bhula deni chahiye hai."
