Hussain's p.o.v.

Itnay dil dukhaanay ki saza mil rahi hai mujhay... I thought to myself as I sat on my bed, staring at the ceiling.

"Hussain..." Shehry's voice brought me out of my thoughts.

"Hmm." I replied, still looking at the ceiling.

"Yaar ek hafta ho chuka hai maamu jaan kay inkaar ko... kab tak yun hi gumsum rahay ga?" He asked.

"Pata nahi." I replied.

"Bhai tu jaanay say pehlay hi unka na sunnay kay liye dimaaghi taur par tayyaar tha... phir ab aisa kyun kar raha hai?" He asked. I took a deep breath in.

"Shehry main uss din kay baaray mein koi baat nahi karna chahta." I said.

"Aur main tujhay yun dukhi nahi dekhna chahta." He retorted. His tone was kind of angry.

"Yeh sab meray khud ki wajah say horaha hai. Mainay itnay dil dukhaaye, uski saza mil rahi hai mujhay." I spoke, with my eyes still fixed at the ceiling.

"Hussain.." he was about to say something but I spoke before him.

"Mujhay thoda waqt day, main bilkul pehlay jaisa hojaoonga." I said, with a fake but reassuring smile, now looking at him.

He opened his mouth to say something but was stopped by his phone, ringing. He frowned a little, looking at the screen.

"Maamu jaan ki call?" He spoke almost to himself before answering the call.

-an hour ago-

Qirat's p.o.v.

"Abbu, aapnay bulaaya?" I asked abbu as I saw him in the study.

"Haan, beta.." He replied. "Mujhay tumsay kuch baat karni hai. Idhar aakay baitho." He added, gesturing me to sit on the sofa, beside him.

I sat down and looked at him.

"Kya baat hai, abbu?" I asked him.

"Qirat, beta kya tum meray faislay say khush ho?" He asked me.

"Konsay faislay say?" I asked him in response. I wasn't sure what was he talking about.

"Hussain ko inkaar karnay kay faislay say." He replied. I smiled.

"Main har uss faislay say khush hoon jismein aapki khushi hai." I honestly said. I would never marry Hussain if my parents are not happy with it. All I want to see is my parents happy with me. "Main aapki aur ammi ki marzi aur khushi kay khilaaf kuch nahi karoongi." I added and placed my hand on his hand.

He smiled as his eyes filled with tears.

"Abbu kya hua? aap ro kyun rahay hain?" I asked him.

"Kuch nahi, meri jaan." He replied as a tear escaped his eyes. He quickly wiped it away. "Mujhay bohat fakhar hai tum par." He added making me tear up a little.

"Acha ab yeh rona dhona band karo aur ek baat batao." He said, wiping my tears that had just escaped my eyes.

"Kya tum Hussain ko pasand karti ho?" He asked and I just stared at him.

"Abbu?" I said, not sure what to reply.

"Beta main bas tumhay khush dekhna chahta hoon." He said. "Hussain ko inkaar kartay huay main shayad thoda khudgarz hogaya tha... main tumhay phir say dukhi nahi dekhna chahta tha beta. Uss din kay baad mainay bohat socha. Aur mujhay iss baat ka ehsaas hogaya hai kay Hussain ko waqai mein apni ghalti ka bohat pachhtaawa hai. Main jaanta hoon woh tumhay bohat chahta hai aur tumhay bohat khush rakhega." He added. "Agar tumhay iss rishtay say koi aiteraaz nahi hai toh main abhi unhay phone karoonga." He said with a smile. A few tears escaped my eyes. I hugged him and cried. He stroked the back of my head. "Sshh, bas.. rotay nahi hain, meri jaan." He kept saying this to calm me down.
