TEREBIN OS

TRUTH

"Toh isse chalta karo na. Chutkara hasil karo isse!"
Maa Begum's eyes bore into Meerab, radiating a hatred she had never seen before. As Maa Begum stormed out of the room, Meerab's gaze shifted to the man who claimed to be her father.  Meerab's desperate eyes settled on the only person left in the room. If no one believed her, if no one cared to hear her side of the story, Murtasim would surely be no different. Tears welled up in her eyes as she struggled to find her voice, but her mind went blank.

"Chalo Meerab," Murtasim's voice broke her trance, and panic set in. Was he going to kick her out, just as Maa Begum had instructed? Would she be homeless once again? However, this time, she could only blame herself. Murtasim turned around, his red eyes revealing a mix of sorrow. His once-confident demeanor now shattered, shoulders slouched, and eyes filled with hurt and betrayal-all because of her.

*************

When they reached their shared room, Meerab finally broke the silence.

"Murtasim, please trust me. I didn't know that was Malik Zubair. I just wanted to help Mariam. Please trust me. I wouldn't do anything that would-"
she said as Murtasim let go of her hand and turned to look at her.

The atmosphere in the room was thick with the residue of shattered dreams and unspoken pain. Murtasim's heart felt like it had been wrung dry, and Meerab stood there, her vulnerability exposed like an open wound.

"Meerab "
Murtasim's voice, a mere whisper, cut through the silence, leaving a trail of hurt in its wake. Confusion clouded Meerab's eyes, and she stammered, "Murtasim,ha-"

"Was it so easy for you  to break my trust like this?"
Murtasim's voice quivered with a mixture of betrayal and disbelief, hot tears streaming down his face like a river breaking its dam. The strength he had maintained crumbled, and the room became a battlefield of emotions, a war neither of them asked for but found themselves ensnared in.
"Murtasim please listen to me "
"Meerab I-"
"Murtasim please you have to listen to me you can't just jump to conclusions that why I did let mariyam run away I was treated by mariyam that she will take her life if I don't help her I was forced  please belive my and ..and I didn't  know that Ana's was malik Zubair "
After few second meerab said
"And murtasim  I accept my fault in it but if haya saw us and can record a video then why can't she stop us she know that he was malik Zubair then you she just wants my out of this house that's why she did this she didn't cared about you or mariyam she just cared about her revenge and she confessed  that to me "
"Are you telling the truth "
"Hmm.."
"Sorrry that I didn't trust you but now this truth should be infornt of every one come with me meerab "

*************
As Meerab and Murtasim entered the living room
"Ma ,chaaha saab haya all come down here !"
He screamed
As all of them came down
"What happend why you called all of us down there ?"
Asked mabegum concerned
"Haya answer my question "
He said angrily

"How did you get the video? And Haya why didn't you stop Meerab?", Murtasim asked angrily

"Because I didn't know...", Haya was interrupted by Murtasim

"You knew. You were with me when we found Zubair near Mariyam's college. The same day when you stole Meerab's gajre. Remember?"
Murtasim asked which scared Haya as she understood she was gone now and there was no chance for her to escape. She tried to say something in her defence but Murtasim showed his hand to Haya.

"I will get Haya send to village  as well Ma Begum and no one will stop me I'm warning you all. Ma Begum Zubair trapped Mariyam in his love. Mariyam needs you so if you can please support her"
Murtasim said to which Ma Begum nodded
Meerab spoke up

"Maa Begum, Haya knew that the guy Maryam used to meet is Malik Zubair, she also saw her leaving with him and took the video but didn't stop us, neither did she inform Murtasim".
Meerab finished, all the while, staring at Haya.

"And how do i believe you that you are not lying ?"
Maa Begum said, looking at  Meerab.

"Maa please, think  where else would Haya get the video from? And I trust Meerab, nothing else matters after that. Haya is guilty of a huge sin in my eyes."

he finished and shot an angry look at Haya.

Haya was in a state of shock, she had not expected to be exposed. She, shaking her head, pointed and moved towards Meerab
"Nahi nahi, maa begum, nahi, Murtasim, ye Meerab jhoot bol rahi hai, maine aisa kuch nahi kiya hai, mujhe nahi pata tha Malik Zubair-"

Her rambling was cut off by Meerab who shouted at her
"Bas kar do ye jhoot bolna  Haya"
which made Haya stop in her tracks "Maa begum I am is not lying, Haya admitted everything in front of me too"
Said meerab
"Then you you didn't told us before?"

" I didn't tell you all before because I know you won't trust me, and I was scared I wanted that first mariyam came   back home save"

***********
Haya was send off to the village and the bound between Murtasim and meerab was increasing day by day .Mariyam happily was ready for marriage but if was prosponded to next moth because they wanted to give maryam some time to recover from all this.
