Sang e Marmar

12. Faisla

Yeh shart e ulfat bhe ajeeb hai Mohsin
May pura utarta hun..woh mayar badl letay hain

With each new sunrise brings new hope... A dawn that's gonna wash away the blackness the night carries... As people begin to wake up, so does the hustle bustle of the day...But there are few who spend their nights restless...

Zar e Noor sat on prayer mat with her hand raised as she looked at her palm thinking what to ask for... It's always been like that whenever she felt like at lose, or find her self in ordeal she always sat like this... Thinking praying until she found peace.

But today she just kept thinking and thinking, whenever she closes her eyes to remember, to ask.....a pair of intimidating amber eyes... Came in her view... She almost forgotten about them.. until yesterday when Bashar told her about certain him...
A shiver ran down her spine remembering the shift of air and his intimidating presence...

At night Farzand too came... As he lovingly patted her hair... Assuringly her that whatever she chooses he will support her.. she wanted to deny, but with what reason... She cannot say yes too that too without reason...being the only daughter made her too sensitive... Farzand always kept her and harm at arm's length and she knew it...

But now when he himself want her too choose for herself...she felt like a lot of responsibility has been kept on her shoulder... Responsibility of her own future...

She has a mind of her own, choice and will of her own too... But she never thought that it would come to this... She always thought like everyone elses her marriage matter will be settled by dadda jaan and she with trust would say yes ...

But with her consent involved, she felt happy, but anxious and worried too... She sighed upon her thoughts that are running wild for God knows how many hours.

Deciding on talking her heart out with Bashar she stood up... After freshen up she left the room...

The breakfast went by smoothly ,Maheen has to leave for her house for rasam so Dilawar went to drop her... While the rest sat in the lounge engrossed in their conversations...
When Bilal Khan started the conversation... Zohra too sat beside Zar e Noor talking when her attention shifted towards her baba jaan...

Hum ik khushkhabri dena chah rahay thay... Bilal Khan started off with slight smile...from the looks he seemed pleased..
Kuch roz qabl he Humari Zohra k liya bht acha rishta aya hai... Dadda jaan or hum nay theek say malumaat li hain.. log toh seedhay or kharay hain...
Baki... He looked at Shehnaaz.. who in the predicament looked first nervously at Zohra and then to her husband who was looking at her... When their eyes met he raised his brow in question.. which she replied with... App kahiya...
Baki app Zohra say Puch ligiya ga toh hum jawab puhancha daingay...

Mehrmah observed Shehnaaz pale complexion then looked at Zohra who had her head down...unable to read her Expression..
Mehrmah with her eyes asked Zar e Noor to take her to her room... Which she obliged.

Most of them seem excited but Shehnaaz although she should be happy... But instead she felt scared, for Zohra she knew the madness her eyes held... She is stupid girl who would sacrifice herself if her baba jaan asked her too... But at what cost?
