CHAPTER -3

Amyra's pov,

I left my mother to rest in the room so that she could calm down a bit.
I was listening there silently because I could not say anything in front of him.Since childhood, I have never been able to say anything in front of him because I am a daughter not a son.My father never loved either of us sisters or my mother.The three of us just seem like a burden to him,That's why they got my sister married without her consent.
My sister has a very sharp intellect, and a keen mind.She knows how to stand up for herself,She had refused that she would not marry, but he did not listen to her.So now that she is married, she doesn't even want to step here.
I was thinking all this when suddenly my phone started ringing.
I picked up the phone,And I saw that the call was not from anyone else but my sister(MAHNOOR).I received the call and said,"HELLO, KAISI HAI TU, SAB THIK HAI NA WAHAN ("Hello, how are you, is everything okay there?")I said to her while troubled.
She comforted me, and said "SHAANT HO JAO AMYRA , MAI BILKUL THIK HUN, MUJHE PATA THA TUMHE TENTION HO RHI HOGI ISLIYE MAINE TUMHE CALL KIYA HAI.("Calm down, Amyra, I'm absolutely fine. I knew you would be worried, that's why I called you.")
I felt a sense of calm wash over me as I listened to her, so then i asked her "TU GHAR NHI AAYEGI NA AB ?"
She paused for a moment, and then said,"MAI US GHAR MEIN KABHI BHI KADAM NHU RAKHUNGI, CHAHE KUCH BHI HO JAYE" She blurred it out in anger and frustration .
I called her down,saying"TUJHE KOI NHI KEH RHA HAI YAHAN AANE KO SO JUST RELAX, OK.

She asked, restraining her anger,"WAHAN KYA HO RAHA HAI, ABBU NE KYA KAHA, MAI NHI AA RHI TO.
I said to her"WAHI JO HAMESHA HOTA HAI, WOH PHIRSE AMMI PAR CHILLA RHE THE, LEKIN MAI UNHE WAHAN SE LE GAYI, ABHI WOH AARAM KAR RHI HAI".
She again spoke out of anger"UNHE ISKE ALAWA AATA KYA HAI ,
Her father suddenly appeared outside her room and saw that AMYRA was talking to someone, so he started listening to find out who she was talking to, Amyra was continuously talking to her sister, unaware that her father was listening to their entire conversation.
Amaira was telling her sister,"what ever you did was absolutely right, you did not do anything wrong. I want be staying here for many more days either. They can treat me the same way they treated you. So I will leave from here once I get a job. Her father was secretly listening to their discussion from outside and became infuriated boiling with rage.
He exited from there in a huff.
Amyra was saying to her sister,"take care of yourself and please keep me updated about your situation and safety. Let me know everything that happens okay. They ended the conversation.
Here Zayn raps up his work at the office and sets off for home, he took the wheel of his car and began to drive off . His mind was consumed by thoughts of amyra during the entire route. A happy smile appeared on his face as he thought about her, clearly thrilled. "He arrived home and remarked himself", I am home already, that did not take long".
He stepped out of the car and left IT parked. He went into the house and saw that everyone was waiting for him at the dining table.
Zayn said, noticing them,"sorry sorry I am late, I'll be there in just 5 minutes. He said in a rush. He rushed to his room, got ready and promptly right at the dining table, he pulled out the chair and sat down.
He sat down and could not help but feel like he was being sized up, with all eyes on him in our really wear way, like they were trying to tell him something but were too awkward two spit it out.
He looked around them, feeling uneasy, and asked,"what's with all the stairs?"did I do something wrong?"
Since they still did not respond, Noor piped up, chachu, seriously, don't you get why everyone's eyes are fixed on you?"Noor asked in her sweet, innocent voice.
Zayn's mind went blank for a second as he tried to pinpoint what he was missing. Noor jumped in before he could process further, chachu, they are really mad at you.
He was perplexed about why everyone was furious with him, so he asked"what's going on here?"what did I do to make all of you so angry with me?"
"After hearing this, his mom said to him, so you really don't know why we are angry with you?"don't pretend to be innocent Zayn, she said angrily.
Zayn tried to pacify them, saying, I am completely about what you are discussing, Mom. Can someone please fill me in?"
Then Rabiah confronted him, Zayn, why the secrecy about your trip to India?"we have every right to know. We would have been overjoyed if you had shared this with us, but instead, you kept it hidden. that's why we are so upset with you, if azlan had not informed us, we would have been completely in the dark."
After hearing all this, Zayn realised that please brother azlan had already told everyone in the house everything." He shot azlan a look and then said"bhai aapko maine kaha tha na ki main in logon Ko Bata Dunga aapne inhe pahle ki kyon bata Diya"
His mom's anger escalated, and she said,"so, you had no intention of telling me that truth?"
He tried to calm his mom and said"Mom, Relax pehle aap meri baat to sun lo, he gently and affectionately explained to his mom and said," Maine aap logon Ko isliye abhi tak kuchh nahin bataya, kyunki, abhi India jaane mein thoda sa waqt hai aur main chahta tha ki aap logon Ko yeh baat use waqt pata chale jab sab kuchh ready ho jaaye, A faint glimmer of sadness seeped into his words,"everyone's expressions softened as they noticed this. Then Rabia offered him a reassuring smile and said,"Hey Zayn, we can understand, it's okay.
Zayn's face lit up with a smile as he expressed his heart felt thanks to RABIAH.
But then he looks at his mom and says,"mujhe pata hai ki aap log mere India jaane ka wait kyon kar rahe ho, lekin main aap logon Ko tension nahin Dena chahta tha main khud jald se jald India Jana chahta hun, lekin yahan ka kam bhi to adhura chhod kar nahin ja sakta na mom, yahan bus ek important kam baki hai us kam ki wajah se hi main India nahin ja pa Raha, thode dinon mein yah kam bhi pura ho jayega aur uske baad main finally India ja paunga, "itne saal wait kiya hai thode din aur Sahi". His eyes gleamed with an unspoken emotion as he said this.
To aap log bilkul fikar mat karo kyunki jab sab final Ho jaega to main aap logon Ko zarur bataunga, A collective 'aha' moment struck them, and they finally understood Zayn's underlying message.
"The wormth of the dinner and the comfort of each other's company lingered as they drifted off sleep in their cozy rooms", as the night wore on, everyone Slumbered, but zayn's mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Amyra, making sleep impossible.
"As he sat in his room,absorbed in his thoughts, the moon's silvery light crept in, bathing his face In an ethereal glow".His room had a balcony through which the light made his room look like heaven.
With a gentle stretch he got up and ambled towards the balcony,drawn by the soft moonlight."
He stood there,lost in the beauty of the moon, "With a heart full of longing,he gazed up at the moon, hoping to find a fleeting glimpse of his beloved Amyra's presence, as if the moon's gentle light could bridge the distance between them."
"With his eyes fixed on the moon,"he murmured,"Amyra tumhari muskurahat bhi is chaand ki roshni jaisi hai,or tum in hazaaron croron sitaaron ke bheed mein mera ek lauta chaand ho, jo mere dil ki duniya ko roshan karti hai, iss chaand ko dekh kar bas tumhe hi sochta rehta hun,"as the memories of Amyra flooded his mind, he spoke in a trembling voice, His eyes overflowed with tears, as the weight of their cherished moments crushed him with longings.

"Similarly,"at Amyra's place, all were fast asleep, but amyra lay awake, her eyes fixed on the moon from her window.She whispered to the moon,"mujhe tum bilkul nhi pasand ho", her eyes blazing with intensity, q ki tumhari wajah se har sitaare ko nazar andaaz kiya jata hai, or mai khudko un sitaaron mein se ek samajhti hun,(mujhe tumhari yeh roshni pasand nhi hai, q ki yeh mere asal chehre ko chupa deti hai, mai sitaaron ki tarah iss roshni mein to chamak skti hu lekin (mai yeh nhi chahti) tumhari roshni mein mai apni pehchan kho deti hun, "she was confiding in the moon, treating it like a father figure,And expressing her heart's turmoil".

Author's note
Woh dono ek hi chaand se baatein kr rhe hai, dono apne dukh dard ko bayaan kar rhe hai, ek Zayn hai jo apni amyra ke liye betaab hai, or ek amyra hai jo apni zindagi ke problems ko hal karna chahti hai, khush rehna chahti hai, dono ki manzil ek hai lekin raasta bhot mushkil, jaise ek sikke ke do pehlu hote hai waise hi pyaar ke v do pehlu hote hai ek woh jisme koi ek beintehaa dard sehta hai lekin doosra uss dard ko kam krne ke liye har dard ko bhulaane ke liye, uss shaks ke liye apna sab kuch qurbaan kar deta hai, pyaar use hi kehte hai

("They're both talking to the same moon, sharing their sorrows and pains; one is Zayn, restless for Amyra, and the other is Amyra, seeking solutions to life's problems, searching for happiness. Their destination is the same, but the path is difficult, just like a coin's two sides, love also has two sides - one of pain, one of solace. One side endures immense pain, but the other side alleviates that pain, forgets every hurt, and sacrifices everything for that person, this is what love is.")

"They both were so lost in thought, thinking about all these things,that they fell asleep without even realizing it."

"Thus, the days slipped away,"

"It was a peaceful morning at Imam's house, with everyone seated at the breakfast table, enjoying their meal, when Amyra's father suddenly addressed her mother in a rough manner..."Kal Amyra ko dekhne ladke Wale aa rhe hai, to kal saari taiyaari kar lena, koi kami nhi honi chahiye."
"When they heard this, the room felt silent, with everyone looking shocked and amazed, and Amyra, taken aback,spoke up...."p...par...par ab... abbu, mujhe koi shaadi nhi karni hai abhi, mujhe abhi job karna hai, Meri padhai abhi abhi khatam huyi hai, or.. or... Abhi to aapi ki shaadi huyi hai, itni jaldi meri shaadi q karni hai aapko, "With a trembling voice, Amyra addressed her father, her fear palpable, her words laced with anxiety, she was close to breaking down, her hands and feet had turned cold as ice..."
"Her father's face was red with rage, he didn't utter a single word, and walked away, leaving Amyra unanswered and confused."
