Layla was still in a state of shock . She wanted to scream and cry and cry until he came here and console her. She looked at her in the mirror. She was in a disheveled state. Her eyeliner was smudged. Her eyes were red from crying. Her cheeks turned into hues of pink and her nose was also red. Layla gulped down her tears and more tears streamed down her cheeks.

After changed into comfy clothes, she splashed the cold water on her face. She lost him today. The way his eyes held accusmement was making her cry even more. Layla har wo insaan ko kho deti hai jisse woh mohabbat karti hai.

Faris was in a driving seat. He was driving the car aimlessly on the road. His mind was still focused on her. His heart pang as he remembered the scenario that unfold few hours ago. Tears threatened to spill from his eyes and he let out a forced chuckled.

Faris came out of the car and took out a cigarette. He lit up the cigarette and tried another addiction just to forget his pure addiction. The burning pain in his heart intensified. Faris took a cigarette and throw it away. He crushed the cigarette with his shoes.

Tonight, Layla Hussain had lost Faris Usmani. And now there's only Junayd Bin Aziz- a ruthless and a cold man.

Hareem entered her offfice and put the flower bouquet on her table. She look at Shahrayed with a sarcastic smile and he chuckled.

"Kya zaroorat thi ye sab karne ki? Ek tou aap ne mujhe waha bhej diya. Aap ke bhai ne theek thaak beizzati ki hai meri. Shahrayed, wo committed hai. Aap please aainda yeh sab mat kariyega."

"Bhai aap ke saath aur apne saath galat kar rahe hai. Mera farz banta hai ke main unhe batau ke wo zyadti kar rahe hai."

Hareem heaved a sigh and look up at him.

"Agar aap ko aisa lagta hai ke wo mere liye kuch feelings rakhte hai ya aisa kuch bhi hai, tou main aapko clear kar du ke aisa kuch nahi hai. Agar wo mere liye waqayi kuch feelings rakhte tou wo kabhi commitment nahi karte. Main hamesha mahnoor ko yeh batati hoon ke mohabbat jaisi koi sheh nahi hoti. Agar aapko mil jaaye you khush ho jaaye aur na mile tou sabar kar le. Aur jo insaan aapko waqayi chahta hai tou wo aapse fauran nikah karta hai naa ke aapko confuse rakhta hai. Mujhe aapke bhai acche lagte hai par mujhe apni izzat e nafs zyada pyaari hai. Main umeed karti hoon ke aap meri samajh gaye honge."

"Aap theek kah rahi hai."

"Rayed. Har insaan ko apne faisle karne ka haq hai aur har insaan apna accha hi chahega. Agar unki khushi usme hai tou khair hai. Ham kisi ko force tou nahi kar sakte na. Aur wo bechari ladki Zaryab ke aas hogi. Wo unke baare mai sochti hogi. Main wo ladki ka khwaab nahi tod sakti." She gulped as she felt the burning pang in her chest.

"Bhai ko side mai rakhiye aur aap apne baare mai sochiye. Aap kya chahti hai apni zindagi mai? Aap ke pass ghar hai. Acchi position hai company mai. Ab aap ko kya achieve karna hai?Main batau aapko kya chahiye? Aap ko ek acche insaan se shaadi karna hai. Aur aap chahti hai ke aap bohot khush gawaar zindagi guzaare. Aap aisi family chahti hai jo aapki kabhi nahi dekh saki. Par aapko sirf mahnoor ki fikar hoti hai. Aapko ye fikar hoti hai ke aap chale jaayengi tou uska kya hoga? Aap ko andaza nahi hai ke aap kitni badi qurbaani de rahi hai."

"Bahen hai wo meri. Itna tou mera farz banta hai."

"Beshak. Par wo sirf aapki bahen nahi hai. Uski ek identity hai. Wo zindagi bhar aapke saaye ke peeche tou nahi rah sakti na. Kabhi tou usse aagey aana hoga. Kabhi tou usse duniya dekhni hogi. Aap kab tak usse protect karengi. Ye duniya bohot khoobsurat hai aur har insaan ko haq hai ke wo iss duniya apne nazariye se dekha. Chahe aapke pass kitna bhi experience kyu na ho, har insaan ka experience alag hota hai. Har insaan alag cheez sikhta hai. Agar aap uss ke hamesha iss tarah protect karengi tou uske andar kabhi wo confidence nahi aayega. Kal wo das log ke saamne apna opinion nahi rakh paayegi. Main notice kiya tha kal aapki bahen ko. Wo bohot dari aur sahmi si nazar aati hai. Ye bilkul bhi normal nahi hai. Introvert ka tag lagaa ke aap yeh nahi kah sakte ke aaj ki generation aisi hi hoti hai. Aap ko andaza nahi hai ke aise logo ke andar kitna trauma build up hota hai. Unhe heal hone mai waqt lagta hai." Shahrayed spoke up and a tears formed in her eyes.
