Umer's face turned red with rage and anger, he threw the flowers in the nearby bin and crumbled the paper in his fist. His mind went blank and he lost all his senses, he just wanted to barge in her room and demand answers but suddenly he thought of Ahaan his brother who has always been a father to him and zara, he will be broken if he gets to know that his little sister is in relationship with some loafer. He went to zara's room but she was not there so he sat down on sofa in living room his hands covering his face, he was so angry that he would have thrown everything near him but he controlled himself as he promised Ahaan.
Zara came out from Ahaan room and saw umer, she went near him.
"Bhai, kya hua?" She asked as umer was sitting with his face covered
He removed his hands and zara knew something was wrong as his eyes and face was red with rage. He looked her with dark eyes.
"Jao yaha se!" He said
"Maine kuch kiya?" Zara asked worriedly
He took a deep breath, calming himself down he reminded himself that he will not yell at her infact he will guide her
"Kuch kahunga to maanogi?" He asked with deep voice
"Ofcourse saari baat manungi!" She replied
"Jo kuch chal raha hai khatam kardo abhi ke abhi, hum tumhare bhai hai tumhe darana nahi chahte par tumhe galat raaste par chalta bhi nahi dekh sakte, yeh age tumhari studies pe concentrate karne ki hai na ki dusre chizo ki, padhayi khatam hone ke baad jo karna hai karo koi kuch nahi kahega, bhaiya hume bohut pyar karte hai unka dil tut jaega agar hum me se koi unki disrespect kare to, please aisi koi harkat nahi karna jisse Mrs. Shah ka aks (reflection) tum me nazar aaye" He said in cold voice with no emotions on his face making zara hurt though she didn't understood what and why he said but a lump formed in her throat because of the disappointment in Umer's voice his voice cut through her like a knife
"Aap ke words mujhe hurt kar rahe hai!" She said meekly with a cracked voice
"Aur tumhare actions mujhe hurt kar rahe hai!" He said sharply leaving the room without looking back
"Bhai maine kuch nahi kiya" She called out loud enough for umer to listen but he didn't respond, he just kept walking away
For the entire day umer didn't speak a word with her and leaving her desperate to figure out what had made him trigger that words, when Ahaan woke up from nap he noticed the silence between them but he chose not to intervene hoping they will resolve their issues.
Later that night Ahaan approached zara's room to check on her sleep as he went near the door he knew that she is still awake he decided to finally know the reason, but when he slightly opened the door he heard her whispering to herself.
"Baba maine kuch nahi kiya aap jaante hai na!" This was the sentence Ahaan heard her voice was low and broken, Ahaan wanted to go inside and ask what's troubling her, he wanted to provide her comfort but the pain in her tone held him back, he knew she never share her pains with anyone and even if he tried she will keep on lying so he decided to wait until the next night, he made a note that the next night he will remove covers from all her secrets.
The next day umer behaved the same way the breakfast table was shrouded in silence. After finishing the meal umer left for college without even glancing zara, Ahaan sensed her distress and drove her to school
"Zara tum dono ne ladayi ki?" Ahaan asked gently
"Maine kuch nahi kiya, bhai mujhse naraz hai reason bhi nahi bata rahe" she said looking down
"Aap unse kahiye na iss tarah silent treatment na de chahe to daant le par baat to kare" she said tilting her face towards Ahaan
"Jab kuch nahi kiya to kyu daant khaogi, nahi daantega wo tumhe naa hi naraz rahega mai baat krta hu office se aane ke baad" Ahaan said rubbing her knuckles with his thumbpad
