"Anubhav kyun pichhe pade ho, jao yahan se...!" Haseena yelled at Anubhav, who was trying to talk to her.
"Yaar tum chhid kyun rahi ho? Aur ek hafte se na phone kyun nhi utha rahi ho?" He asked.
"Hume baat nhi karni isliye aur please ab hamare pichhe mat pado, jao yahan se...!" She said walking to her home way. "Haseena hua kya...?" He follows her.
"Kuch nhi hua ab bas pichha chhod do hamara, hum nhi chahte ki tumhari zindagi bhi hamari wajah se barbaad ho, please aage badh jao...!" She said helplessly.
"Humne decide kiya tha na hum dono ek saath badhenge phir kyun hume chhodne ki baat kar rahi ho..!" He continued to walk beside her.
"Anubhav tum nhi samjh rahe, yeh duniya yahan ke log aur niyam...in sabki nazaro mein hamari dosti galat hai aur hum nhi chahte ki ab hamare aas paas rehne ki wajah se tum par koi sawal kare...!" She said, walking faster to avoid him.
"Duniya gayi chulhe mein hume fark nhi padta tum baat suno hamari..!" He said holding her hand.
"Anubhav haath chhodo hamara...!" Haseena opposed him, struggling to free herself. "Pehle baat suno hamari...!" He said, pulling her.
"Anuuuuuuuuu....!!!" Someone shouted his name angrily. Anubhav and Haseena widened their eyes as they recognized the person-it was his father.
They turned to him in fear, and his father's red eyes revealed his anger.
*SMACK*
"Pappa baa...*Smack* aahhh...(Anubhav groaned as his father struck him with a belt but tears roll down from Haseena's eyes)"
" Sharm laaj toh bech diya tha tune ab hamare ghar khandan ka naam bhi doobane par tul gya hai...!" His father yelled angrily.
"Pappa main bas baat kar raha tha..!" Anubhav managed to speak, his voice barely audible amid the presence of his parents, Haseena and Ammi.
"Aur mohalle wale jo baat kar rahe hai woh...ek toh ladki khud satai huyi hai aur upar se tu use aur pareshaan kar raha hai...!"
"Aisa nahi hai...main...bas...*slap* Anubhav's sentence was cut short as his father slapped him).
"Unc...(Haseena looks at her ammi as she holds her hand to not speak between the father-son).
"Sab jante hai hum toh jhooth nhi bolo humse aur iske liye hi Kinjal se shaadi karne se mana kiya na...haan..??!"
"Nhi Pappa, mujhe nhi pasand thi woh aur nhi karni mujhe kisi se shaadi....!" He replied boldly.
"Karni padegi aur ab agle mahine hi hogi tumhari shaadi woh bhi Kinjal se hi, dekhte hai kaun rokta hai mujhe..!" His father said angrily.
"Kya bol rahe hai ji, jabardasti shaadi karna thik nhi hai..!" Maa opposed.
"Tum chup raho Anu ki maa, tumhari wajah se hi yeh sar chadha hai...!" His father growled.
"Mujhe nhi karni shaadi...!" He growled back and again a slap landed on his face.
"Aawaz nichi aur kyu pada hai uske pichhe, maa baap ki izzat ki fikar nhi hai..kya kahenge log jab unhe pata chalega ki hamara beta apne se badi aur vidhawa ke pichhe pada hai...!" His father taunted.
"Pichhe nhi pada hoon, pyaar karta hoon Haseena se, use khush dekhna chahta hoon mere saath ya mere bina bas isliye uske pichhe hoon...!" Anubhav replied, his voice filled with love for Haseena, who looked at him with moist eyes.
