She fell in love. She couldn't be with him. She married someone else. She fell in love again. Then she fell apart.

"Farhat, where's your boss?" Iraj peered over at the desk of her husband's assistant with a happy smile.
"Hi Iraj ma'am. He's inside his office." She responded with the same smile.
"Then why's the door locked?" She made a fake gasp to add drama to her words, "Is Mr Zaman in there with someone..." She fake coughed at the end to hint at her great suspicion with a tease.
Farhat grew serious though she knew Iraj was never serious about her boss, "No, no, ma'am. Azfar sir would never—" She shook her head genuinely to assure her.
"I guess we'll have to find out." She winked at Farhat before hearing her complete statement and moved to the door of her husband's office. Iraj knocked at the door first, and then increase the intensity of her knocking when the door was not opened.
She kept on trying to hold her giggles, because it seemed very hilarious to her about what she was going to do. Finally, after banging for around two more minutes consecutively the door opened and revealed a very upset Azfar.
"Iraj—"
She covered her mouth with her hands and widened her eyes, "Azfar!" Walking past him going inside her head still turned towards her husband who was staring at her, "Kon hai woh larki?" She pointed to the back of the chair where she thought he must've been with a client. It was so fun for her to cause chaos for him.
(Who is that girl?)
The movement of the chair being pushed back took her attention and she turned to see an old man standing and looking at her in confusion.
"Admi? Larki ki jagah admi?" Her mouth hung open but she tried to act like it was so shocking, "Azfar? Haww!"
(A man? A man instead of a girl?)
Azfar Zaman was being tested of course, his eyes were closed as a result of extreme frustration. When he opened them to look at her and finally say something all her could manage was a loud sigh.
"Kon hain yeh khatoon, aur inhe kya hua hai Azfar?" The man spoke trying to understand what was wrong with the girl who was making absurd faces at them.
(Who is this lady, and what is her problem Azfar?)
"Iraj. Enough." Azfar walked to her and eyed her to stop whatever she was trying to pull.
"Are you saying you've had enough of me and now you are into old men?" She made a fully shocked face and he gave a dismissive head shake at the nonsense that was happening.
Whenever she would visit his office something was bound to happen for sure. It never really occurred to Iraj Kazmi to visit her husband unless she was in a mood to ruin his day out of her boredom.
"Azfar yeh khatoon kis tarah ki baatien kar rahi hain?" The man was feeling repulsed at what he was hearing in contrast to what Iraj was finding very funny.
