Shehnaaz was done with her work and left for her house.
Her house ... was it a real house ? It just felt like 4 wall.
Shehnaaz kept her bag down on the bed and moved inside the restroom.
After few minutes she heard a knock on her bedroom door. Drying her face she walked back to the room.
Sana- baaz tu hai ?
Baaz- Haan
Sana- aaja fer ander !
Baaz entered
Baaz- tu thikh aa ?
Sana- haan changi aa mein ... mainu ki hona si ?
Baaz- motto jhuth bolan nahi aata hai to kyu bolne ka try kardi hai tu ?
Sana- mein ki jhoot bola ?
Baaz- khair chodh tere jhooth se mujhe mere sawal ka javab mil gaya hai.
Shehnaaz settled on the bed with a thud and baaz sat down next to her.
Sana- mein kaise thikh ho sakti hun baaz ? Mein jise pyaar karti hun wo ab kisi or ka hai . . .(tears started rolling down)
Baaz- bus kar jaa ... shh... shant hoja !(said patting her head lovingly)
Sana- mein jitna bhi sochti hun ki ab uske baare mein nahi sochungi , utna hi uski yaad aati hai. Kaise jiyun mein uske bina ? Ek wahi to tha na mere paas jo sirf or sirf mera tha . . . to fir baba ji ne aisa kyu kiya ?
Baaz- motto ismein kya sirf baba ji ka kasur hai ? Tune bhi to jaane diya na . . .
Sana- kya koi or option tha mere pass ?
BAAZ WENT SILENT . . .
Baaz- accha chal ab jaa hulia sudhar apna or chal Shweta di ka phone aaya si !
Shehnaaz nodded her head and baaz left.

Shehnaaz and Shehbaaz were sitting on the dinning table enjoying their time with the Sikri family. Shehnaaz who was just as usual nodding her head and replying to all the questions but was thinking about the e-mail she received from her bestfriend. Oh how much she misses everyone.
That dark night made her loose all the relations she cherished her life.
That dark night brought only darkness in her life and nothing else.
Shweta- Kya hua shehnaaz khana sahi nahi bana hai kya?
Sana- nahi aisa kuch nahi hai Shweta di , khana bhaut accha bana hai.
Abhay- Sana dekh mana tu hummein se kisi se bhi yeh baat share nahi karna chahti hai per please , aise mat reh ! Mein or Shweta tujhe naam ke liye apni behen nahi maante hai balki mein to kahunga mein to tujhe apni behen se zyada apni beti maanta hun.
Shweta- haan bacche please aise sad mat ho !
( Both Abhay and Shweta got up from the chair and stood next to her and patted her head as they can see Shehnaaz breaking down , she was losing her control to bear all the emotions from past 5 years)
And as soon as Abhay completed his words Shehnaaz burst into tears , panicking all of them. Shweta asked her kids to go tot their bedroom so they do not think about anything.
Shweta patted her back while Abhay passed her a glass of water and baaz rubbed her palm to calm her down.
Sana- mein jisse pyaar kiya puri zindagi wo kisi or ka hogaya hai . . .
Shweta and Abhay's eyes widen in shock.
Shweta looked at Shehbaaz who just looked down at the floor trying to hold himself and his emotions. Brothers always fight with sisters but the truth is they also fight for their sisters. Shehbaaz being the younger one was always pampered but he always used to pamper Shehnaaz as well , a s he was very well aware of the things she must be going through.

Shweta- Shehnaaz , baache pehle tu shant ho fir bata hua kiya hai ...
After few minutes Shehnaaz calmed herself down.

Shehnaaz- Few years back , when I was in the university , I fell in love with a guy who obviously loved me back too. We dated each other for 3 years from second year of college to the last year.
He loved me the way , no one ever loved me. He made me feel special almost every second of life. Living with him made me feel alive. We were so sure about each other that we also made our families meet. Everyone was happy , both of us , our families , our friends everyone. I was working in Mumbai at that time , it was just 1 month after graduation , during the placement I got selected to work in XYZ firm , and worked their. My dadi was ill at that time but I couldn't take a leave due to new job requirements , and we needed money to pay off the bills as well. Baaz took care of dadi.
Abhay- Did he cheat on you ?
Shehnaaz laughed bitterly making Shweta and Abhay confuse.
Sana- he did not cheat on me nor did I cheated on him , it was the cruel destiny who did . . .
Abhay- so then what happened ?
