Segment 13

"Baba mujhe nhi pata kuch bhi, aapne waada kiya tha ke aap maa begum se baat karenge iss bare mein", she scoffed on her phone. She was talking to waqas ahmad.

"I know beta, magar abhi tum baat ko samjho thoda sa, bhabi begum nhi manengi", she heard him saying.

"I ain't listening to all this at all. Apne waada kiya tha baba ke aap bolenge unhein main apni aage ki padhai puri karna chahti hun"

"Meerab beta, i'll talk to bhabi later okay. Magar abhi nhi bol sakte. Tumhari yahi kuch din pehle shaadi hui hai"

"Agar unhone mana kar diya toh? Phir main aage padh nhi paungi?"

He was silent.

"Baba, agar aap baat nhi karenge toh main karungi", she said before cutting the call.

Now everything was going wrong with her. Being in a loveless marriage with a person who she had loved from the beginning isn't easy at all. Behaving cold with him hurted her alot but She've to do this, because she also have her own self-respect and appearance. She's not a weak woman who will endure all the disrespect and pain with a smile.

Some times we have to choose ourselves over our beloveds. When today she told her father waqas to talk to maa begum about her studies he said he'll talk to her later. But ain't He's dening. She felt sad, now waqas too ain't taking stand for her.

Settling herself on the bench on the garden she was admiring the stars.

"Kabhi kabhi lagta hai meri zindagi ka mazak ban chuka hai", she laughed bitterly.

Her phone ranged. Saba's name was flashing in the screen.

"Assalamualaikum mohatarma", she heard her friend.

"Walaikum assalam"

"Shaadi meri nayi nayi hui hai magar madam busy aaj bhi tum hi rehti ho. Aisa nhi ke zara call kar lo, haal chal puch lo yeh main hi hoti hun jo samne se call karti hun", saba complained.

"Maaf karo bas kaam mein mashroof rehti hun aaj kal"

"Chalo thik hai, bohot kaam hota hoga murtasim bhai ke sath", saba teased her. Her face turned red.

"Astagfirullah saba thoda lihaz karo, koi sunega toh kya hi sochega"

"Kuch nhi sochega. Tum suno, main aur rohail trip pe jaa rahe hain next week. Tum aur murtasim bhi join karo na humein. Maza ayega sath mein shopping karenge", saba informed her excitedly.

"Tum log jao enjoy karo. Murtasim ko kaam hai bohot. Hum dono nhi jaa payenge", she gave an excuse.

" You lier. Mujhe pata hi tha tum mana karogi. Issi liye maine pehle Muratsim bhai ko call kiya tha"

"Kya? Kab? Kyu? Kis liye?"

"Dumbo, thodi der pehle. Aur bola toh kis liye. Mana mat karo aab. I'll kill you meerab hum jaa rahe hain", saying this saba cut the call.

"Arrghh, what is this? Murtasim ne razamandi dene se pehle puchna bhi zaruri nhi samjha", she uttered.

Taking her steps towards their she saw him scrolling his phone. She goes towrds him standing two steps away from him.

"Saba ne call kiya tha tumhein?"

"Nhi toh, uske husband rohail ne call kiya tha", he replied still surfing through his phone.

"Tumne haan kyun ki?"

"Kis bare mein?", he asked her cluelessly. He didn't looked at her.

"Idhar dekho", she said angrily snatching his phone from his hands. She threw the phone and by god's grace it fell on the couch.
