After a peaceful happy dinner the family retired to their bedrooms. Azaan decided to talk to Alizeh about Ayzel's public anxiety. He did what he thought was right but he was not so sure about it.

Azaan knocked on the door and Alizeh yelled out asking him to enter. He entered the room and a smile broke on his face. He has missed this room.

"Kia hua?" Alizeh asks sitting on bed.

"Batt krni thi apse free ho?" Azaan asks walking towards the bed.

"Han han bolo." Alizeh gestured him to sit.

"Bhaiya kaha ha?" Azaan asks.

"Terrace pe gaye hai." Alizeh replied.

"Kyu cigarette pene?" Azaan chuckled.

"Tumhara bhai pee hi na le cigarettes." Alizeh rolled her eyes and said sadly.

"Toh apko peeni ha kia?" Azaan asks amused.

"Tumhare pass ha kia?" Alizeh clapped her hand and asked excitedly.

"Ap bolo bas! Abhi ek minute me arrange hojaegi." Azaan was now serious.

Alizeh whacked his shoulder.

"Maar khani ha? Apne bhai se?" She rolled her eyes.

"Bhot time hogaya last khaye we." Azaan cracked a smile.

"Dono pitenge hum! Nafrat ha tumhare bhai ko aise cheezo se." Alizeh snickered.

"Acha! Chorein mujhe baat krni ha apse." Azaan said.

"Sab theek haina?" Alizeh asks worried.

"Bhabhi woh! Ayzel ko drop krne gaya tha na uske teacher ne roklia." Azaan started.

"Kheriyat?" Alizeh asks.

Azaan sighed and told her everything including the answer he gave.

"Public speaking anxiety is very much real Azaan! Agar wo comfortable nahi ha toh sawal hi paida nahi hota tum usse force karo me krne hi nahi dungi." Alizeh's voice was firm.

"Bhabhi mein kyu force krunga mein pagal hu? But ye baat ap bhi janti ha mein bhi how serious this is. Ajj nahi karegi leken kal to krna parega na? Abhi se thora thora start kregi to agey jake overcome kar payegi." Azaan replied.

Alizeh sighed and went into deep thoughts. She has seen Izhaan suffering from severe anxiety and depression just the thought of it happening to Ayzel scares her but Azaan was also not wrong here.

"She is in 9th standard right?" She asks and Azaan nodded.

"Abhi time hai we can slowly work on it Azaan leken achanak force krna dangerous hosakta ha. Slowly gradually confidence built hosakta ghar se niklegi dunya dekhegi seekh jayegi us bachi ne hamre ghar or Kiraan ke ghar ke alawa dekha hi kia ha? It's natural for her to get scared. I will personally do her counselling but ye sab overtime hoga. Mein uske sath school jaungi I won't let her loose marks but tumhara idea sahi ha. A one to one presentation sounds good to me. Either me or you will stay right there and she will be fine." Alizeh replied.

"Bhabhi mein toh soochraha doctor ko dikhaye! Aise panic attacks sahi nahi ha aj jo subha hua wo nahi hona chaiye tha. Mene khabhi aise dekha bhi nahi hai." Azaan expressed his concern.

"Trust me Azaan! Anxiety ka best cure medicine nahi ha. She needs love she needs attention dawai dekar hum usse unka adii (addict) banadenge. Mein chand (few) din mein uski ankhon me tanahi dekhli tum bhaio ko itne saal nhi dikhi? Dawai ilaj nahi ha uska! Hamare piyar se wo theek hojagei." Alizeh replied.

"We weren't any better bhabhi! 12 saal roz darwaze ko dekhte dekhte guzar die ke ab bhaiya aynge wo nahi aye! Jab hamre pass khudke pass piyar nahi tha hum kia dete usse? Zindagi me khabhi usse batameezi nahi ki usko takleef nahi poonchai aisa khabhi nahi hua ke hum khush the aur wo udaas leken hamre pass use ziyada deno ko khabhi kuch tha hi nahi."
