Meerab leaving for the village.Bakhtu opens the car door for her.Meerab looks at him and asks;
"Bakhtu chacha ek baat to bataiye."
"Ji bibiji puche."
"Is haveli pe koi churail hai kya yaa aap ne kabhi galti se Haya ko churail samaj liya."
Bakhtu narrowed his eyes and tried to understand her words.Murtasim comes forward and says;
"Bataiye Bakhtu Meerab bibi ko ke aap ne churail dekha hai ghar pe safed libas mein payel pehenkar.Aap ne bataya mujhe ek dafa."
Bakhtu doesn't understand anything he just says;
"Ji?"
Murtasim makes this question as yes and said;
"Aab to yakin aa gaye na Meerab sach mein churail hai."
"Lekin Murtasim."
"Baki baten wapas aake kar lena.Bakhtu aap gari nikale."
Bakhtu left from there and Murtasim said;
"Mein aisa karunga ek din tumhari meeting fixed karungi churail ke sath.Phir itminan se mil lena use.Aab utho gari pe."
Murtasim closed the door and sits on the driving seat.They both left for village.
__________________________________
Murtasim's car reached the crop field.Meerab enjoyed the sunny day.She looks the clear skies and puts a smile on her face.Murtasim watches her smily face.Meerab says;
"Aaj suraj kitna chamak raha hai na?"
Murtasim looks at Meerab.Some people can understand by looking at their eyes, but by looking at this girl's eyes, nothing can be understood other than being lost in her beautiful eyes.Murtasim averts its gaze. The head gets cold. Takes a deep breath.Why the intensity of the girl's beauty? Just looking at it seems to be lost in great depth.Meerab narrowed her eyes and looked at Murtasim.He smile towards her and coming closer to her.He remove the hair from her face and put it the corner of her ears and said;
"Suraj ke kiran ke taraf jaise koi dekh nahi sakta bilkul Meerab ki ankhon mein dekhna bhi kisi khatarnak chij se kam nahi.Ankhen jal jate hai.Sar ghum jata.Aur akhir tak koi mohabbat pe par jata hai yaa koi dewana ho jata hai."
Seeing Murtasim so closer to Meerab,she feels nervous.Her heart trembling. She feels her whole body is getting paralysed.Murtasim coming towards her lips and Meerab closed her eyes.Murtasim controls himself and realises he is in the middle of crop fields.People moving around the road.They both will fall embrassing situations.
Murtasim sits straight in his place and says;
"Mein zara kisano se baat karke aata hu.Meerab tum yahi beithna.Car se hilna bhi maat,thik hai?"
Meerab nodded her head and Murtasim left from the car.Meerab looks at her departure with one glance and thinks why she didn't feel bad when Murtasim comes closer to her.Is this the reason that they both are bound up with a legal relationship?Is it called power of nikaah when two people involved with a relationship like marriage then love automatically comes there.
Meerab comes out from her thoughts by the sound of ringtone.Murtasim left his phone in the car.Meerab takes it and sees calls is coming from Feena's number.She is wondering why she is calling Murtasim.Is everything going well in the house.She immediately takes the call.Before she say hello,the words continued to come from the other side.
"Murtasim mein Haya hu.Tum mere number block kar diya to Feena ke number se kiya.Tum thik to ho?"
Meerab clenched her fist in anger and said with gritted teeth.
"Murtasim bilkul thik hai.Uski biwi uska khayal bohot acchi rakhti hai.Lekin tum behaya bibi ek admi tumhari taraf murke dekhta bhi nahi infact tumhari number tak to block kar diya.Socho kitna tang karti ho use.Phir bhi picha nahi chorte.Itni behayai tum mein aata kaha se hai.Self respect naam ki koi chij hi nahi andar."
Haya said from other side.
"Tum Murtasim ke phone ke sath kiya kar rahi ho."
"Jab insaan hi pura ka pura mera hai to phone kiya chij hai.Uska chij meri chij ek hi to baat hai.Yehi to rishtan hai mia bibi ka lekin tum jaise behaya besharam ladki ko yeh baten samaj nahi ayegi."
Haya gathered some courage and said;
"Murtasim ko do baat karni hai mujhe."
Meerab gets surprised and widen her mouth by her boldness.She says;
"Murtasim ki biwi ki izazat nahi mila is liye tum baat nahi kar sakti.Aur suno ayenda ghar ke kisi fard ke number se Murtasim se call ki na to yaad rakhna number dial karne ke liye hath aur baat karne ke liye zuban dono hi salamat nahi bechega.To bibi zara samhal ke.Ab rakho phone.Aur waise bhi Murtasim aur mein hum dono apne honeymoon pe busy hai.So don't disturb us.Warna phuphu banne ki khabar der se milegi."
Meerab cut the call and gets surprised by herself.Out of anger she uttered a lot of nonsense.Is it she said to make Haya jealous or Is it impact on staying with Murtasim.She didn't love Murtasim so why feel she always gets angry when Haya tried to woo Murtasim.Is she gradually accepting this marriage and Murtasim as her husband.
Meerab can't accept her inner feelings.She tries to avert her mind.Suddenly she saw a little girl fall from the cycle.Meerab immediately gets off from the car and gets her up.She says with concerned voice;
"Beta aap thik hai?Aap ko kahi lagi to nahi?"
That kid smiles and says;
"Nahi.Thik hu."
Meerab softly touches her cheek and asks;
"Kiya naam hai aap ka?"
"Noori."
"Wah bohot khubsurat naam hai.School jate ho?"
Then her mother comes forward and says,
"Pehle nahi bhejti thi.Parai ke liye paise thori na hai humare pas.Lekin ek din humare khan ghar aaye aur samjhaya parai kitna jaruri hai.Tab se woh humare bacchon ki parai ka kharcha utha rahe hai.Sirf humare nahi balke gao ke mojud har bacchen ka parai ka kharcha uthate hai.Woh kehte hai aaj ke bacchen hi mulk ke mustakbil hai."
Unknowingly a smile appears in the corner of Meerab's lips.She asked;
"Bohot mante hai na aap log apni khan ko?"
"Woh to farashta hai humare liye.Sona jaisa dil hai aur humdardi is gao ke mojud har fard ke liye.Allah umar daraj kare humare khan ka.Unke biwi bari kismatwali hai jo aise shohar payi."
