Filmon ki Tarah| Completed ✔️

Chapter 9. Part 1 (Mujhe maths nahi aata)

Dil bewakuf hai mera,
Ye sirf muntazir hai tera,
Lafz na purey ho toh,
Aankhon se batana,
Pyaar na pura ho toh,
Humein kyun satana?
Roz bitana,
Hai tere saath din mera,
Pyaar hua toh kyun sharmana,
Ye tera kaisa bahana,
Khat likha kabhi toh,
Khud padhkar sunana,

Kyuki ye dil chahta hai,
Tumse baatein karte rahey hum,
Jaon jidhar bhi,
Haan dikhte raho tum,
Kya ye raat dhalegi,
Jab thairenge hum tum?

"Tumhari kya galti thi, shuruaat toh uss ladki ne ki tha na", Maryam enquired angry because of the injustice, how dare the school suspend her innocent sister in law. She wanted to throw hands at the school's authority for supporting the bully.

"Haan magar maine bhi uska mu pakda tha kyuki usne Murtasim ko bawla bulaya tha", Mahjabeen explained and spat out the last few words still upset. Maa Begum had given her an earful after this for creating a performance of their family name. When Mahjabeen tried to justify that the bully started it Maa Begum just said two sentences.

"Khan ki biwi tum ho, woh nahi. Tum khaa leti maar, dedeti paanch sao rupey aise sadak par tamasha karne ki kya zaroorat thi"

Mahjabeen felt angry at her words for the first time, she only cared about family's reputation and how people viewed them. Haya might not be right in Murtasim's case but here she was, Maa Begum's words shouldn't be law.

"Uski ye jurrat, pehle meri bhabhi ko haath lagayi fir ye. Mahjabeen do ulte haath ke lagane they usse", Maryam spat out seething with anger, her reaction was complete opposite of Maa Begum.

"Fikar na karo agle hafte jab suspension hatega toh pehla kam ye karungi", Mahjabeen replied with a grin, Maryam laughed at her response. They continued with their lesson and chattered in between.

Mahjabeen was excited because today Haya was arriving with her brother. Haya was now one of her closest friends they would call each other daily, Mahjabeen would make sure Murtasim was asleep before picking her call.

"Maryam aapko pata hai Haya baji meri sabse pyaari dost hai", Mahajabeen confessed with a grin, Maryam dropped the pen she was holding startled by her statement.

"Haya? Mahjabeen tumhe ye maalum haina woh bhai se shaadi karna chahti thi?" Maryam asked concerned, how could someone call their love rival their best friend. Haya wasn't a bad person, but her petty and scheming nature was something everyone was aware of.

"Haan magar ab meri aur Murtasim ki shaadi hogayi haina. Woh baat toh purani thi", Mahjabeen tried to dismiss Maryam's worry but she grimaced.

"Ya Khudaya itni maasum bhabhi kyun dedi mujhe", Maryam whispered her voice heavy with concern.

"Maryam, mujhe yaqeen hai ki Haya baji ka dil badal gaya hai," Mahjabeen said, her voice filled with hope. "Aur humein unki burayi ki bajaye, unki achchai par dhyaan dena chahiye. Log badal sakte haina"

Maryam looked at Mahjabeen, contemplating her words. She knew her sister-in-law had a kind heart and always saw the best in people. Perhaps Mahjabeen's faith in Haya's transformation was not misplaced.

"Par Mahjabeen, agar woh bhai se..." Maryam began, her voice trailing off.

Mahjabeen gently interrupted, "Toh hum usse samjhayenge. Magar humein usse pyaar se aur samjhota karke samjhana hoga."
