SHAIKH MANSION
She woke up with a heavy head hopping that yesterday was just a dream and that nothing happened. But she noticed her wedding dress on a chair, and knew that it was her reality, a tear fell on her cheeks. Wiping her tears, she went to the bathroom, changed and went donwstairs. Everyone was silent, the heavy atmosphere has not left. A normal day in Shaikh's family in the morning started with a beautiful smell of breakfeast prepared by her mother, shouting at everyone to join, with her father sitting on his chair with a journal looking lovely to his beloved wife and Faiz starting the day by stupid shayaris which made everyone sighed in desperate. But it was not a normal day in Shaikh's house today. She wiped her fresh tear, feeling guilty for this sadness.
- Asalam Walikum, she shouted enough to be heard
Everyone turned their face toward her, her dad and brother whispered in response but her mother gave her a harsh look and left. Shehnaaz knew that her mom was hurted badly but Shehnaaz loved her mother a lot and she can't stand her silence. Her father looked at her with teary eyes and left the table. Only Faiz came close to her and hold her and in this arms, she started crying badly.
- Give us some time Shehnaaz it's not easy for them
- I'm so sorry, so sorry,it's all because of me Faiz, I ...
-I know Shehnaaz,
He kept her in his arms until she stopped. She thanked him and wiped her tears. He smiled in return.
- May I recite something for you
Shehnaaz shooked her head in positive, they used to have a sahayari battle everyday , but today she was not in mood to fight with him, she only want to be distract, just for one moment, to feel that everything was normal
Sadness is behind and new hope is on my side
Sadness is behind and new hope is on my side
My yummy breakfast still hot waiting like a bride
- That was really bad Faiz, she smiled
- Thank you, he smirked at her, can we eat now? I'm hungry
They sat together, having their normal brother and sister fight.
Days have passed and in Shaikh's house, the thing went back normal slowly, but Afreen was still in silent, not saying any word to her daughter. Shehnaaz was in pain, she tried many thing to break it but Afreen continued to ignore her. One day, Shehnaaz went to her room when she passed next to her parent's room and she saw her mother sitting on bed folding clothes. She knocked the open door, no response. She came and sat at her feet.
- Ammmmi, she said with a shaky voice
Afreen continued her stuffs ignoring her calls.
- Ammi, please, talk to me, or slap me, she said while taking her mother's hand and putting on her cheek, I can't stand anymore your silent, please ammi, I'm sorry , please forgive me, talk to me please, talk
- Talk?? You left nothing to say Shehnaaz, have you ever think once? About Baig's family? Our family? hesa kyun Shehnaaz? Kyun..
- I was scared ammi, I didn't want to get marry so soon, to a guy that I don't know anything, I was not ready, I didn't think once I was selfish but I was so scared ammi. I couldn't say this to you or abbu, I tried so hard ammi, but I did a stupid thing without thinking about consequences
- Yes you didn't think once, you hurt me so much and so many people Shehnaaz, but what hurt the most it's that you didn't think about sharing your fears with me, your ammi. I though that ...She brook in tears
