"Aapko bhi bohot bohot mubarak ho bhabi begum", anwar said in a call.
He was looking so happy.
"Khuda teeno ko salamat rakhe. Mashallah se itni badi khushi mili hai humein itne dino baad toh khuda ka shukr aada karna toh banta hai"
"Kis baat ki khush khabri hai baba?", haya asked while coming, a smile was plastered in her face.
"Woh baat hi aisi hai bacche, Tum phupho banne wali ho. Meerab umeed se hai", Anwar said happily.
Hearing this haya feels like ground slipped away from her feet. Her smile disappeared somewhere. She felt luke someone just stab a knife on her throat.
"Accha", she scoffed with a forced smile.
"Haan hum log kal jaa rahe hain unse milne. Main toh kehta hun beta tum aab meerab ke sath raho, usse zaroorat hogi"
"Sure.... Chalte hain", haya said and leaves.

"Ammi kya baat hai aap bohot khush lag rahi hain? Kisse itni duayein de rahi hain aap?", maya asked.
"Haan beta khush na hou toh kya. Salma aapa dadi banne wali hain jald hi. Allah maa aur bacche ko buri nazar se salamat rakhe", Afiya mami said happily.
"M...meerab pregnant hai?", she asked in disbelief.
"Haan toh aur koun hoga? Ek hi bahu hai salma aapa ki tum bhi na maya".
"Aa..achi baat hain phir"
Her world took an opposite turn by this news. She reached her room and locked the door. Anger was consuming her mind, she started throwing things.
"Nhi.... Nhi... Nhi aisa kaise ho sakta hai. Woh dono khush nhi reh sakte. Main kabhi bhi uss meerab ko khush hota hua nhi dekh sakti... Kabhi bhi nhi. Murtasim toh mera hai.. Mera", maya said to herself looking at the mirror.
She was behaving like a psycho and it's unnecessary to think all this about someone, who's married. She loved Murtasim Bit he belongs to meerab only.
Maya wasn't accepting the truth at all.
*****
Marium just jumped to hig her sister in law.
"Mubarak ho mummy to be", she chanted happily.
"Sambhal ke marium meerab ko lag sakti hai", maa begum said.
"Sorry main dhyan rakhungi", marium apologize and sat with her on the couch.
Naurez and murtasim hug eachother.
"Congratulations Murtasim bhai", naured said happily.
"Shukriya"
"Aapko bhi mubarak ho bhabi", he congratulated meerab too. She nodded her head with a smile.
"Main chai le aati hun", meerab said while standing up from the couch.
Murtasim Held her by her shoulder and make her sit on the couch again.
"Koi zarurat nhi hai main bol deta hum feena yaa koi aur le ayega", he said.
"Magar"
"Sahi keh raha hai Murtasim. Tum chup chap baitho", maa begum joined him.
Meerab sat on the sofa with a sad expression.
"Jaan ismein sad hone wali kya baat hai. You've to take rest", Murtasim said in a soothing tone.
Everyone gave him a Bombastic side eye reaction."jaan... Not bad bhai", marium teased him. His face turn red like a tomato. Clearing his throat he muttered,
"Ek call attend kar ke aata hun"
And he disappeared from there like a storm. Everyone laughed at his this maniac reaction except meerab. Her Cheeks flushed red duo to embarrassment and she fixed her eyes on the floor trying her best to not blush.
