Meerab is standing in the roof and her eyes are in the downstairs.Suddenly she feels someone's presence in her back.She turns around her head and sees Anwar Khan standing there.She turned away and about to leave.Anwar khan held her hand and said;
"Ruko Meerab."
Meerab stop and asked;
"Kya kehna hai jaldi bole."
"Kab tak apni baap se naraz rahoge.Aab to maf kardo."
"Apni maa ke qatil ko?"
Anwar khan stunned by her allegations against him.
"Mein qatil hu?Nazia ke maut kudrati tha.Maine nahi mara."
Meerab sarcastically smiles at him.
"Logo ke nazar mein unke maut khudrati ho sakta hai lekin maine dekha hai apni maa ko takleef mein tarapte huye.Aap ke diye woh dhoka woh seh nahi payi.Lekin khan haveli ke sab ne unke sath dene ke wajai aap ke zurm pe parda dal diya.Brain hemorrhage ki wajah maut huyi thi unke.Itna sadma laga tha unhe.Nahi lar payi woh aur chali gayi.Unke woh halat ke zimmedar aap hai.Aap hai qatil mere maa ki."
Tears fall from Meerab's eyes.She wiped her tears and Anwar khan said;
"Galti ho ga..."
"Galti?Nahi.Galti nahi tha woh.Gunah tha.Biwi bacche ke hote huye bahar kisi ger aurat ke sath talukat banana zurm hai.Dhoka hai.Rishten mein dhoka dena na qable mafi hai."
She looks at his eyes and says in firm voice;
"Jis din mere maa ke maut huyi thi usi din maine khud ko maa baap ke bin yatim man liya tha.Usi din sirf mere maa ke zanaze nahi uthe the balki mere baap ka bhi utha tha.Usi mitthi mein maine apni maa aur baap dono ko dafan kar diya tha.Is liye aap se mera koi rishtan nahi aur zabardasti rishtan jurne ke kosish bhi maat karna."
Meerab leaves and Anwar khan looks towards her departure.He was a bit surprised.His daughter was not like that.Meerab was not rude nor had much hardness in her voice! The girl always kept her head down and spoke in a soft voice.Always spoke nicely to everyone.This character is not like that.

Meerab was passing by the corridor when she heard Salma khanan give order their helping hand,Feena to give Murtasim's clothes to Haya because she always set up his closet.Hearing this Meerab's anger boiled.She comes to her and take the clothes from Feena's hand and said;
"Aap jaye khan ke kapre mein rakh dungi."
Feena left from there.Meerab looks at Salma khanam and asked;
"Kiya aap ko pata hai Haya ke dil mein Murtasim ke liye kya jaga hai."
It's seems like Salma khanam doesn't care.She causally said;
"Bachpana hai hai uski.Dhire dhire bhul jayegi."
Meerab gives her an unbelievable expression and said;
"To aap ko meri shadi bhi Murtasim se nahi karana chahiye tha.Us nazar se mein bhi to bacchi hu.Mein aur Haya hum umar ki hai na."
Salma khanam stood up from her place and said;
"Tum kehna chahte ho akhir?"
"Yehi Haya koi bacchi nahi hai jo yeh bachpana mein kare.Ek jawan ladki hai.Aap ko bhi pata hai Haya jo kar rahi hai woh kisi kisam ka bachpana nahi hai.Aur yeh sab kuch janne ke baad bhi aap ka chup rehna yaa Haya se Murtasim ke kam karana yeh aag mein ghii dalne jaisa kam karega.Agar aap se woh barava paye to kabhi Murtasim ke picha nahi choregi.Aur akhir mein nuksaan uska hoga.Uske shadi bhi hona baki hai.Uske bhalai ke liye use dur rakhiye Murtasim se.Yehi sahi hai."
