Hazim- this isn't right bhai!! He yelled at rahil.
Rahil- don't stop me hazim, this is my matter so let me handle it.
Hazim- don't do this with bhabhi Bhai. Why are you even troubling her that much, She didn't do anything.
Rahil- you don't know anything hazim! You don't know what her real self is! He shouted being frustrated with his brother now.
Hazim- what do you mean by her real self? He asked being confused. Rahil sighed and told everything that he knew about faiza. Hazim was shocked to hear whatever rahil told him just now.
Rahil- this is the reason I don't like her.
Hazim- b-but she is not like that. She-
He stopped still processing his words. He loved his sister alot and couldn't digest something else about her.Rahil- behtar hoga ki tu bhi usse dur rahe hazim. (It's better if you also stay away from her hazim) He said keeping his hand on his shoulder and then left the room.
Hazim was not liking his rahil bhai's behaviour with his beloved bhabhi aka faiza. So he thought to confront him. But what rahil told about her just now was a total shock for him.
And him being innocent, believed his bhai's words and sudden anger rushed into his veins towards faiza. He stepped out of the room and saw faiza bringing his shirt walking to him.
Faiza- hey hazim, you told me to select a shirt for you na, then here you go. She said forwarding it to him but he glared at her and threw that shirt away angrily making her shocked.
Hazim- don't you dare ever touch my things again. If you touch anything again, then i'll burn it by myself!!
He shouted angrily and went away. Faiza was just standing there still. She didn't understand his sudden change of behaviour towards her. He was acting just like rahil now, making her gulp on that thought.
As the time passed, she stepped into the kitchen to make lunch. As per rahil's orders no one is allowed to help her so she started the work earlier. After a while afeefa entered and stood there staring at faiza.
She felt guilty for her bhai's behaviour and cruelty towards her bestfriend. She stepped near her and snatched the knife from faiza's hand from which she was cutting the vegetables. Faiza looked at her in confusion.
Afeefa- I'll help you. She said firmly.
Faiza- no afeefa, don't you remember your bhai's words.
Afeefa- yes I clearly do. But he's not here now so he won't get to know that i helped you.
Faiza- but-
Afeefa- no buts bhabhi, I won't let you do this all alone. Faiza sighed and nodded her but little did they know that someone was watching them from afar.
As today was a weekend, rahil and rohail came back at lunch time only. Rahil furiously walked in and saw everyone gathered near the table. Faiza noticed his presence and stiffened.Rahil went to her and shouted on top of his lungs making everyone flinch.
Rahil- DIDN'T I TOLD YOU THAT NO ONE WILL HELP YOU IN ANYTHING!! WASN'T I CLEAR HUH!! Faiza stepped back a little being scared while afeefa widened her eyes. How did he get to know? She thought.
Faiza- i-i did'nt- she was trying to say as her tears fell but she was too scared to speak further when rahil cut her off.
Rahil- SHUT UP, JUST SHUT UP! NEXT TIME IF I SEE ANYONE HELPING HER THEN NO ONE WILL BE BAD THAN ME!
