Kaffara

Chapter 3

Next morning

Sitara couldn't sleep all night along "what if he doesn't stop?" She thought to herself she needs to talk to him clear her misunderstandings against him she was waiting impatiently for salars family as salars dad told her he would come meet her to get a solution her eyes were fixed on the clock there were only two hours left for her before his flight as soon as she opened salars dads contact to call him she heard a voice behind her.
"Sitara" it was salars family

Sitara: assalamualaikum

Tahir and the others: walaikumasalam.

As they sat down Tahir looked at sitara and said "Ap salar ko chor ke ayi hain?"

Sitara:"Jee uncle. Mein usse chor ke ayi thi."

Tahir: "Toh phir ap usse bat krne bhi toh ayin thi? Us ullu ne apse Kiya kahan?"

Sitara:"Kehraha tha ke Tum Meri Kon ho?"

Mehreen: "ap ko kehna chahiye tha ke ap uski biwi hai haq banta hai apka uspe."

Sitara was a little shocked at mehreens sudden change in behavior but chose to shrug it off as salar was more important for her right now

Sitara: "kis haq se kehti chor ke toh mein ayi thi na usse"

Mehreen: "aur chor kar kiyu ayi thi ap?"

Sitara: "Dar lagraha tha"

Mehreen: "Kise? Salar se?"

Sitara: "Nahi khud se kahin usse phir mohabbat na hojaye Mujhe. Pehle eik Baar mohabbat ka dard bardasht karliya tha. Ab nhi karpaoungi..."
Sitara said with tears in her eyes

Junaid spoke in between: "Salar apko taqleef pohanchane se pehle khud marjaiga"

Mehreen: "Sitara beta ap usse mohabbat krti hain? Han ya nahi?"

Sitara spoke without hesitating: "Krti hun, Lekin wo nahi karta..."

"Ye apko kis Pagal ne bataya usne ya sahiba ya Salman ne?" Tahir said

Mehreen let out a chuckle
"Mera beta Jo har choti choti baat pr ghar sar pr utha leta tha apke kehne par usne Zameen se bread utha kar uspe jam Laga kar Khana Shuru kardiya. Sitara ap bohat akalmand hai I agree Lekin afsos ap mere bete ko samjh nhi payin"

Sitara stood there still before speaking
again "Lekin unhon ne nani se kahan tha ke Meri zid torne ke liye unhone Mere se nikah Kiya tha"

"Wahi toh uski nani apse naraz thi apke behavior par aur usne apko pata bhi nhi chalne diya. Aur Sara ilzam apne upar lekar apne apko ko culprit bana diya aur Tumhe victim. Wo Tumhe kiski bhi nazron mein gira nahi sakta"

Sitara stood there in shock she couldn't process everything"l-lekin salar ne nani ko Meri zimedari Lene se mana kardiya tha"

"Arey beta Maine unhe us Raat ko hi sub Batadiya tha she was very satisfied of salar being with you. Aur unhone Tumhari zimedari mujhy sonpi hai"

Sitara's world turned upside down everything was hitting her like a tornado. There was a turmoil of emotions going inside her. Anger,love,pain,regret and guilt she broke down crying how could she do this to the man she loved. She couldn't breathe properly she felt her heart swelling up she had a sharp pain in her chest she couldn't process this much information together her mind went blank the only thing she could think about was salar "What if he leaves?"

"Sitara are you alright?" Mehreen asked her

"Mein salar ke pas jarahi hun airport."

Mehreen and Tahir smiled meanwhile saba and Junaid were looking at her in awe
