The ladies of the house are cooking dinner "mere bete ne joh kuch bhi kiya uske baad main nazrein milane ke qabil nahi hoon nadia." shagufta ji, has never felt this ashamed to lower down gaze.
The son who has always been the reason of pride, has left no stone unturned to ruin their relations. She's grateful and in-debt of them "aap kyun aise baatein karke mujhe sharminda kar rahe hain, ye sach hai kal tak main aap sab par gussa thi mujhe tha, ke jis dard se hum guzar rahe hain aap bhi ek baar guzar kar dekhein, taake pata chale betiyaun ko dard mein dekhne ke takleef kya hote hai lekin sach kahun zoya ko dard mein dekh ke na dil toot sa gaya uske takleef apne se lagne lage sabse bare baat shehnaaz ka zarf dekh kar ehsaas huwa hum kitne bade bewaqoofi karne jarahe thai maafi toh hume maangne chahiye aakhir hamara beta wahi karne jaraha tha joh sidharth ne kiya." their eyes, brim with painful tears, to ease hugged it out.
Zain returns back home to witness zoya's absence over the dinner table.
He texts adil "zoya table par kyun ne aye ?" raises eyebrows at him because he shoves the god damn phone back into his pocket without giving answer "what the fuck ?" he stays unaffected, shehnaaz is quick enough to inform, as discomfort & constant tension is quiet visible on his face.
"Bhai, you need to apologise to her get everything sorted asap, she's completely shattered !" reading the text, his poor heart sunk deep into the pool of resentment.
"Bachaun, zoya kahan hai ?" bi jaan asks, finding her seat empty as soon as she joins them.
Shagufta ji, lowers down gaze "uske tabiyat theek nahi kamre mein araam kar rahe hai." jamshed ji feels awful "main dekhte hoon." bi jaan's going to get up but zain interrupts "aap khaana khaaye, bi jaan main dekh laita hoon." she nods, it would be great if he takes the initiative to sort out the mess meanwhile sidharth's absence is noticed too none made the effort to push or scold him to join.
Shehnaaz is depressed, holds herself accountable for everything happening around. They're paying the cost of her love. They're unhappy because her happiness has been shattered.
Zoya is silently weeping in her room.
She's completely lost in her thoughts, didn't even notice, anybody knocking at the door "Zoe ??" his voice, makes her shudder, unable to endure stood up furiously strolls towards him.
"What the hell are you doing here ?" she screams, grasping his collar and shaking in rage.
"I am sorry, I acted like a jerk back then, I wasn't
in the right state of mind .. I lost it .. I myself was enraged .. I didn't realise .. how badly I broke you in the process of fighting my sister's happiness, I swear, I love you .. this wasn't my intention." how conveniently, he broke her and came to apologise as if nothing serious ever happened, only because of her brother, he treated her badly as if whatever they had would flourish after shehnaaz sidharth's marriage else would have no meaning !
"No, you don't love me .. stop fooling me around" she yanks him away with utmost hate aggression that he ends up stumbling against the door.
He's astonished, never in his life he imagined her to react in such way and she never did which now proves that she's more than broken. He lost her !
"I am not .. I really love you .. I was angry." began to explain but she constantly denies, shakes head.
"No, you don't .. aap jhoot bol rahe ho .. aap ne ek bhi baar mera ne socha in-fact kisi ne bhi nahi .. I only saw shehnaaz fighting for me kyunke woh us ehsaas ko jee rahe hai .. she knows what it feels to be broken by the hands of love .. aap ne toh sazah sunade thi, jaise main shehnaaz ke saath bura kar rahe thi ya apne bhai ko support kar rahe thi .. na maine uske taraf daari ke aur na uska saath diya ! Phir kis baat ke sazah de rahe thai, aap ??
Mohabbat karne ke ??
Aap mein aur sidharth mein zarah bhi fadak nahi dono ne mil kar doh dil tod diye !
Aap ne mujhe kabhi chaha he nahi .. chahne wale yaun is tarah rishte nahi todte !
Kya kaha tha, meri behan ka kasoor kya hai haina
itna bata dein mera kasoor kya tha huh ?
Sidharth ke behan hona ?
I hate you, I really do aur haan kya kaha tha mere maa baap ko jahan chahein rishta kardein ?
Aapko batane ke zaroorat nahin !
Main aap se shaadi karne kai liye maari ne jarahe just leave chale jaaye mere kamre se meri zindagi se I don't want a man who doesn't value my love ! I don't want you to be my husband." she pierces a needle straight into his fragile heart breaking him for not loving her enough 💔
"Zoe, your acting irrationally babe I know I made a huge mistake .. it's my fault .. I never meant any of that your my life !" he tries to hold her, she has never been this stubborn or disrespectful towards him "I want you to refuse from this wedding !" he is shattered to hear her demand, shaking head he grabs her arm and refuses to fulfil.
"Not even in your million dreams !" he stated, to which she snorted "you just did few hours back." she reminds, hurting him.
"I won't, I will never step back from this marriage I will make sure you don't too !
Apne deemag se ye fitoor nikaal doh." gaining his conscious back warns infuriating her.
"Dekhte hain !" clutching arm, drags him towards the dining area to confront their parents.
They immediately, stand up in confusion viewing their miserable condition bi jaan questions mean while sidharth tiredly comes from the door step a very irked zoya breaks the silence "main zain se .. shaadi ne karna chahte." pulling ground, beneath their feet "kya, tujhe andaza bhi hai kya bakwaas kar rahe hai ?" shagufta ji, lost her mind.
How dare she ???
Are their kids planning to kill them ??
She raises hand to slap in aggression because one after the other, they're bowing their heads down ! Zain is quick enough to protect her "Kya kar rahe hain aap taaye ammi hosh ke nakhun lein .." yells in disbelief "hosh .. in bachaun .. nai hamara sarr sharam se jhuka diya hai !!" bi jaan, orders her to step back "himmat kaise huwe ... bache par haath uthaane ke ?" shagufta ji, cries shehnaaz gave her a side hug to calm nerves down.
Nadia ji, embraces zoya and kisses her head with utmost love and affection "bi jaan, galati .. maine ki jiske wajah se zoya is tarah react kar rahe hai I deserve the slap not her who didn't even thought once before giving me the shoulder I wanted, but me being a complete jerk ... I broke her heart." bi jaan, sighs in tension can't let them split because of shehnaaz and sidharth as it's not their fault, if they weren't meant to be !
Pulling zoya beside her, holds her hand with a lot of hope "rona bandh kar aur meri khaatir kyunke filhaal tujhe is bandar se nafrat horahe hai shaadi karle beta hum ek aur rishta toot te huwe ne dekh sakte ... jaante hoon ... isne bura kiya sazah de.
Ab shaadi se badi sazah .... ek mard ke liye kya he sokate haina ?" tries to explain on a lighter note.
It didn't help but her parents hopeful gaze made her silent, nodding head, dejectedly goes back to room where a very anxious sidharth followed.
"Zoya, tumne inkaar kyun nahin kiya ?" he asks, adil replies on behalf of her "woh aapke tarah na khud garz hain na khud pasandh." angering him.
"Shut up, chota hai na chota bann kar reh ye koi mazak nahi hai jiske peeche hum khudko bali ka bakra bana de aakhir puri zindagi ka sawaal hai." sidharth argues "koi bali ka bakra ne bann raha ! She's doing for the sake of her parents." they are shock to hear shehnaaz from behind.
"You better stay out of this after all ye hum bhai behan ka maamla hai outsiders are not required not to forget yeh teri wajah se he toh horaha hai khel liya na victim card, mil rahi haina tujhe sab ke sympathy why bother us ?" sidharth sounded way too bitter, hatred clearly reflecting.
Her pretty orbs, glisten with tears, shaking head in utter disgust, barged outside, infuriating both his siblings "watch your words the next time you speak to her sidharth kyunke is fasaad ke reason tum ho woh bichare nahi." zoya shouts, adil also agrees "exactly, she and zoya are the victim here bhai, if you cannot do anything please don't ruin this situation anymore for either of them." she is responsible because he didn't gave her any hope, it was their childhood.
She is the root cause of this mess !
He shouldn't be alone held accountable !
"Fuck you" sidharth pushes adil and leaves room heading upstairs.
