"Apologise to her right now Azaina and sit down, have your dinner." Azlan ordered Azaina.
"Main kyu Karun apologise." Azaina asked shocked.
"Main bana deti hun Azlan baba, koi masla nahi hai." The maid said.
"Nahi she's not special, she will have the same food." He said to the maid and then turned to Azaina.
"Suna nahi aapne Azaina, apologise to her right now." Azlan said sharply looking at her.
"Sorry." She said arrogantly to the maid.
"Koi baat nahi bebi, iski koi zaroorat nahi thi Azlan baba." She said sincerely turning towards Azlan at the end.
"Nahi isne badtameezi ki yeh uski maafi maangegi." He said and then turned towards Azaina.
"Apologise properly." Azlan said dangerously glaring into her soul. He noticed the tears gathered inside her eyes but ignored it.
"I am sorry bua." She whispered embarrassed.
"Ji shukriya." She replied.
"Aap jaa sakti hai." Ahaan said after two minutes of awkward silence while Azlan and Azaina were staring at each other.
Everyone resumed their dinner after she left.
"Mujhe bhook nahi hai, main room mein jaa rahi hun." Azaina said getting up.
"Azu kuch toh khaalo beta." Aahil said from his place. He saw her upset.
"Nahi lag Rahi bhook bhai." She replied slowly and looked at Azlan.
"Okay then you may leave." Azlan nodded.
"Bhaiya she looked so disheartened." Aahil said worriedly after Azaina left.
"I will go talk to her later." Azlan replied and Aahil nodded. He knew his brother would fix everything so everyone had their dinner.
After dinner Azlan went towards Azaina's room. He entered and saw her laying in the middle of the bed and her face was smushed inside her pink pillow.
"Azu." Azlan called her but hearing no response he thought she is sleeping. He went towards her and sat at the edge of the bed, he came inside to tuck her in properly however his heart broke when he heard soft whimpers coming from her. She was trying so hard not to make a sound that her breaths were shallowed and because her face being inside the pillow did no good to her. Azlan could literally hear his heart shatter now.
"Azu bacha kyu roo Rahi ho?" He asked rubbing her back and she got more emotional and started crying more.
"Azu bhaiya ne daanta issi liye roo Rahi ho?" He asked again and she shooked her head.
He couldn't bare her cries anymore so he turned her around. He got shocked seeing her face. It was completely red from crying.
"Azu beta aese rote hai kya? bhaiya ko btao na kya hua hai." He pleaded and pour a glass of water for her.
"Drink." He said and she took a few sips. He put the glass back and pulled her on his lap hugging her close.
"Ab batao bhaiya ko baby." He asked.
"Aapne uss maid ko Zyada importance di, you made me so embarrassed bhaiya. You don't accept me right, you view me as an outsider." She said sadly.
"Ohh azu bacha aesa nahi hai." He said wiping her tears.
"Aesa hi hai bhaiya, you guys have still not accepted me." She cried.
"Aap meri baat toh suno Pehle." He said making her sit right infront of him. He grabbed both of her hands in his
