Kaffara Os/TT/One Shots

Dil se hai ye vaada main hoon saath tere

" I trust you salar" Sitara truly meant that words from her heart. No matter how upset she was with some of salar's previous actions. Her heart knew salar would never stoop this low. Her hand was inching to slap sahiba again, she will slap her soon with proof and evidence soon but for now she needs to focus on salar. He did not look alright, he looked far from it. Tahir uncle still distrusted him, no matter how salar tried to look aloof, his father's distrust did hurt him. Sitara could not understand the reason for tahir uncle's distrust at all, she knew salar for a few months still she could close her eyes and believe that he could never molest a girl then why can't tahir uncle do the same. He has known salar for years. Yes salar is a spoiled brat, doesn't think about his actions but deep down salar is a very good person. She will prove everyone wrong soon.

Sitara snapped out of her thoughts as she saw salar coming back to the room and sitting on the bed, his hands trembling slightly as he tried to comprehend the weight of the accusations against him. Sitara felt her heart breaking, she had never seen salar this weak and broken.
Sitara knelt beside him, her heart aching at the sight of his distress.

"Salar, meri taraf dekho,” sitara said softly, placing her hand over his. “Mujhe tumpar pura yakeen hai. Mujhe pata hai tum aisa kabhi nahi kar sakte hai"

Tears threatened to spill from salar's eyes as he looked into her steadfast gaze. “But my own parents don’t believe me, sitara. How can you believe me?"

Sitara cups his face softly, " They will regret it for the rest of their lives. About me, I know you salar, you can be harsh but you can never molest a girl. Mera dil ko pata hai mera dil galat nahi bol sakta hai. Mein hoon na tumhare saath, mein sab theek karlogi iss baar tumhar liye. Uss sahiba ko ek aur thappad zaroor maroongi ek baar evidence mil jaye mujhe"

Salar was surprised with sitara's words but it gave him solace as well. At least someone believed him.
Tahir took the same moment to intervene and brag inside their room.
" Salar chalo, let's discuss how to fix this matter"
" Fix this matter? What do you mean dad?" Salar asks in confusion. Sitara also tries to understand what tahir is speaking.
" We will speak to sahiba's family and arrive at a compromise" Tahir says without any emotion. Salar's eyes glistened, a single tear escaping. he quickly wiped it away, embarrassed. He could not believe his father wanted him to go and speak to that girl who had humiliated and falsely blamed him.

Sitara's expression hardened as she saw the scene. In that moment she did not care for the respect she should give the elders, she only cared about salar and hurt he was going through.Rage spilling from her lips. “Salar, kahi nahi jayege. He did not do anything wrong. Sahiba ne unko passaya hai ”

" Itna yakeen hai apni uss shohar pe jisne tumhe kahi na choda" Tahir asks surprised by the sitara's audacity to defend salar.

" Yakeen hai" sitara shot back holding salar's trembling hands strongly," uss insaan par jisne mujhe galat insaano se shaadi karne se roka, mujh par kisse ke galat nazar padne nahi diya, mujhe samala,mera liye apni guraro ka chod diya, mujhe humesha protect kiya"

Both tahir and salar were taken aback by sitara's words. Tahir who always thought sitara only stayed with salar because she was forced to and had no option to go anywhere the first time realised that maybe he was wrong with what he assumed. The depth and sitara's fierce glance told something else. Salar was overwhelmed by sitara's support, he never thought someone would stand up to him this way against his own father.

Sitara still stood tall in that moment, her voice firm. “He is your son, and you should believe him, just as I do. Don’t do something which will only lead to regret”

Tahir gave her a look and left the room.

Sitara squeezed Salar’s hand, a silent promise of solidarity. “We will prove your innocence together,” she declared, determination igniting in her eyes. Salar nods, he did not care anymore what the world thinks. He had finally found the one person in the world who believes him and will go against the world for him.
