Haq Se : Bewafa Se Wafa

Chapter 1

Sitting at the shore of a flowing river Meher stares it sorrowfully, hopelessly. She is thoroughly shattered. A few days ago she would have laughed if someone would have told her that her life is about to change drastically!

Laughed not only because she wouldn't have believed it but also because she would have thought how more drastically could her life change when according to her her life is already a hell on earth? Chaotic!

But a few days ago she hardly knew that when a bad omen; a bad luck gets after you, it has the potential to strangle you to death. Ruin your life like you never imagined before! Smile, laughter it snatches away these words from your life. Makes you to forget the meaning of these words. Hell the meaning, it even has the potential to make you forget that these words even exist!

Today the scenario is different! She has lost her darling kid sister. How can she bear the pain of the loss? How is she going to sustain her life further without her presence around her? This wasn't suppose to happen to her in such an early age.

But does she know that mostly the purest souls leave us the earliest? Why is that so, no one could answer that!

She wasn't a culprit - agreed! She wasn't meant to suffer the cruelty of the world - agreed! She went away too far from them that now it's difficult for her to return - agreed! She should have told her family about her decision; at least they would have known that she is leaving home for achieving her aim - agreed!

But Meher, could you stop this fateful event from taking place even then?

They say our birth and death are destined! Do you want to blame her now? Was she really at fault?

Meher doesn't understand what to feel; what to think; what to conclude, yet she is feeling! She is feeling hollow from inside as if an important part of her body has been snatched away. She is thinking, she is thinking hopelessly; she is thinking multiple things at the same time but all in vain.

Who can answer her queries? Who can tell her why this happened with her? With her family? The writer there in the sky must be a fan of tragedy. If it weren't this way then why would all this have happened with her family?

Her sister Bano, has breathed her last yesterday. They conducted the funeral today. Since the moment of receiving the heart wrenching news, the Mirza family doesn't have a proper knowledge of what's happening around them. They have gone numb!

On receiving Bano's letter where she mentioned how she was leaving them for only few months just to get settled in life and would return back soon, their Ammi broke down into tears. No wonder this took all of them by shock! Why was the need of doing it, they couldn't understand! Only that their mother could somehow feel that there is something amiss! Some tragedy is about to strike them.

"Bewafa!",

she mummers.

How exactly mothers get to know everything - wonders Meher! But isn't it too late to wonder that Meher? Had you wondered it before when she shared her anxiety with you, you could have stopped this from happening at first place. But with this we are again back to the same question - Can we stop something from happening?

Staring at the flowing river constantly, Meher wonders sadly if time could flow in this pace as the river is right now in front of her? But soon her direction of thought changes and she thinks how aimlessly it's flowing, just like her life has turned now - aimless!

She is broken from inside, how is she now going to stand like a pillar in front of her family? She smiles sadly.

Jannat once taunted her to get out of her fairytale life to know what's the reality is like. Guess, this is what she was talking about! She smiles sarcastically. Her eyes still constant on the flowing river.
