There is a note I post at the end of this chapter.Please read it.

"Meerab kaha ho tum?"
Salma Khanam entered the room and sees Meerab is not in her room.She looks for her everywhere but didn't find.Then she hears vomiting sound coming from the washroom.She knocks the door and asks;
"Meerab tum thik to ho?"
After a while,Meerab comes out from the room.
"Mein thik hu maa begum."
Then Meerab feels dizzy and about to collapse.Salma Khanam immediately holds her tight and made her sit on the bed.
"Kiya hua hai tumhe?"
"Pata nahi subhe se ulti jaisi hua hai aur aab yeh chakkar.Samaj nahi aa raha."
A big smile appears in the corner of Salma Khanam's lips.Meerab gets surprised and why she gets happy suddenly.Salma Khanam gets over excited and says;
"Badahai ho Meerab.Mein bata nahi sakti tumne mujhe kitni bari khushi di hai.Allah yeh din dekhne ke liye mein na jani kitni duayen ki thi.Mera beta Murtasim bap banne wala."
Meerab widened her mouth by shock.She tried to clear the misunderstanding and said;
"Aap galat samaj rahi hai maa begum.Aisa kuch bhi nahi hai."
"Duniya dekhi hai maine kuch bhi galat nahi samaj rahi.Tum pehli baar maa ban rahi ho is liye nahi samaj rahe ho.Mein dadi banniwali hu."
"Lekin..."
"Tum aram karo beta.Kuch bhi khane ka maan kare to mujhe batana.Hay Allah itni bari khush khabri.Pehle mein Anwar ko batati hu."
Meerab tried to stop Salma Khanam but she didn't listen.Meerab gets frustrated and says;
"Yeh maa begum bhi na.Duniya to dekh liya lekin itna nahi malum ultiyan karne se yaa chakkar se hi pregnancy ka symptoms nahi pata chal jata.Aab mein inhe kaise samjhao ke yeh dadi kaise banenge ke jab ke mein aur Murtasim...."
Meerab gets angry and says;
"Murtasim ko batata hu.Aab wohi samjha sakta hai apni maa ko."
Meerab calls his number but it's ringing in the room.
"Ise phone ko bhi aaj hi ghar pe chor ke jana tha.Yaa Allah madad karo meri."

Salma Khanam forcefully feeding Meerab and said;
"Mujhe nahi khana Maa begum.Ultiyan aa jayegi."
"Ultiyan aisi halat mein to hoga hi lekin tum apna khana pina nahi chor sakte.In halat mein tumhe accha khana hai."
Haya looks at this scene and just burning inside.Meanwhile Murtasim enters the room and asks;
"Kya baat hai maa,bahu pe bohot lad jata rahi hai?"
Salma Khanam smiles at him.
"Bahu ne khabar hi aisi di hai ke khushi se samaj nahi aa raha kya karu."
"Accha,aisi bhi kya baat hai?"
"Masha Allah se baap banne walo tum."
Murtasim rolled his eyes and looked at Meerab.He gestures her that what it was.She shakes as her head as no.Haya looks at their gestures and smirks.
