Shaheer was sitting by the pool side lost in his thoughts when he felt a hand on his shoulders
"Haider bhai abhi nahi bas do minute de dijiye please" he requested without turning back
"Haider nahi mai hoon" Zara said
"Bhabhi aap... baithiye nahi I mean mai uthta hoon nahi matlab hum udhar baith jaate hai" he said panicked
"Chill mai theek hoon Shaheer" Zara replied and sat near the pool next to Shaheer
"Bura na mano to ek baat puchu Shaheer?" She asked
"Ji bhabhi bilkul puchiye" Shaheer replied
"Tum is tarah waha se uth kar kyu aaye?" Zara asked
"Bhabhi I just didn't feel good.... wo wo all these years I thought ki our father, he'll never come back I didn't even imagine him to be alive but one fine day mujhe pata chala that he's back... bhabhi agar wo wapas aagaye na he'll make our life hell bhabhi wo bohut kharab hai I'm scared bhabhi humari life bohut mushkil se normal hui hai I don't know what to do" Shaheer ranted non stop
"Shhh calm down Shaheer, wo wapas nahi aayenge you trust your bhai right?, Do you or don't you?"
"I do bhabhi" Shaheer replied
"To phir give your brain a little rest, apne bhai pe yakeen rakho, aur besides hum sab bhi to hain na, do you think I'm a good lawyer?"
"Yes bhabhi definitely you are the best"
"To phir trust me mujhe haarna bilkul nahi pasand, and what do you think about those kids do they deserve to live a life they are living right now?" Zara asked
"Not at all, no child in this world deserves to live like that" Shaheer said
"To phir chale andar your bhai needs you right now wo bohut bada faisla lene ja rahe be his strength" Zara said and got up
Shaheer followed her

Zaviyaar was sitting on the sofa it was visible from his face that he was tensed
He saw Zara coming inside while talking to Shaheer they both were laughing on something, he relaxed seeing them.
"Ammi I have decided I'll take those kids with me, I don't care jo bhi paperwork ho I'll manage" Zaviyaar announced
"Zaviyaar mujhe kal din tak ka time de dein, abba se baat karke I'll get all the papers ready" Zara said
Zaviyaar nodded
Haider came in "Bhai jitni information gather karwa paaya about the kids utni le aaya"
"Waah Haider bhai aap jasoosi ka bhi part time business karte hai" Shaheer said to lighten the mood
Haider glared at him
"Sorry"
"So poori baat ye hai ki the kids, they live alone Shehryar ne last year 10th kiya hai but he dropped out of school shayad paiso ki Kami ki wajah se, abhi wo tutions padhata hai and usse Jo paise jod paata hai usse Ariza ko paal raha hai to basically Ariza ka guardian hai Shehryar because your father is a bloody useless man sunne mai ye bhi aaya hai ki woh kabhi kabhi pi kar ghar aate hai, Shehryar ko maarte peette hai aur paisa mangte hai kyuki apparently wo bacche 'unke' Ghar mai reh rahe hai" Haider told
"Aur unki maa wo kaha hai" Zara asked
"She's no more aaj hospital mai bataya tha Ariza ne" Zaviyaar said
"Haan right maa, ek neighbour hai inki Benazir aunty, do bacche hai unke beta Shehryar ke saath ka hai and ek beti hai Ariza ki age ki, unse pata chala ki in baccho ki maa, she committed suicide"
"Kya kaisi aurat thi apne baccho ke baare mai ek baar bhi nahi socha?" Nagma said angrily
"Calm down ammi" Zaviyaar said
"Ariza 4 saal ki thi tab, It was Shehryar's 10th birthday, Abdullah Ahmed ne Ghar wapas aakar unhe bohut maara peeta tha, she couldn't handle it aur aur...... she burnt herself alive" Haider told after mustering up a lot of courage.
Shaheer shuddered listening to all of this
"Unhone bataya ki after their mother's death unke baap ne unhe apne paas rahne se mana kardiya because they were nothing but a burden for him, bacche apne Nana ke Ghar chale gaye, but zindagi ne unpe waha bhi taras nahi khaaya, unki Nani bohut saal pehle mar chuki thi, ghar pe sirf Nana, mamu, mami aur unke bacche rehte the aur in baccho ka waha jaane se kharcho ka bhoj aur badh gaya unke mamu he's a carpenter, unhone Shehryar ko apne saath kaam pe laga liya, Shehryar ko waha Jo bhi paise milte the usse wo Ariza ke liye samaan le aata tha, thode hi din mai ye bacche waha se wapas aagaye, Shehryar ne aaj Tak kisi ko nahi bataya ki waha aisa kya hua, itni baat bhi isliye pata chal paayi hai kyunki Benazir aunty ka beta wo Shehryar ka best friend hai" Haider concluded
"Zaviyaar abhi un baccho ko yaha leke aao, mai nahi jaanti hai kuch bhi Karo" Nagma said
"Ammi par.."
"Zaviyaar aap unhe kal subah jakar le aaiye aapka birthday bhi hai you can tell them ki its your birthday party and i promise mai shaam Tak kuch na kuch karlungi atleast subah se bacche yaha safe toh honge" Zara assured him
"Are you sure Zara?" Zaviyaar asked
"Yes I am Zavi aap please le aaiye unhe" Zara replied
Zara did not realise that he called Zaviyaar by his nickname but Zaviyaar did
