Part Nineteen
"Hajira Aapa , Please"
"Lubna don't expect more from me" Lubna sighed , she closed the door and sat on couch facing her sister.
"I know you are hurt but you can't ignore that it was becoming obvious Asad didn't want to marry Sama"
"You should be on my side as my sister!"
"Aapa even I felt bad for Sama, when Asad called informing, he is getting married..."
"I don't understand what does he sees in her? She is no beauty and she is just okay and isn't even confident, she .."
"Aapa... Let it go.. he is bhaijaan's only son, he did inform us about his Nikah.."
"Informing us doesn't change anything, he didn't value my word, didn't respect it enough.." Hajira said bitterly. Lubna sighed, she too was upset with Asad's behavior but she tried to understand him after Zeenat had talked to them, She did understand that they couldn't force Asad to get married to Sama just because they thought it was best, forcing him and his refusal could have worsened the matter or even if he agreed out of respect, what kind of marriage it would be? There would be bitterness and resentment in him and if they separated because not being compatible, either way the relationship ties would be damaged. She had difficult time to get Hajira to agree to come here, Asad did talk to her apologizing and she agreed to come but she was still upset. Lubna only wanted to maintain the ties with Asad, he was only son of their late brother.
"Aapa, what's done is done, you came here for Asad, he did apologize to you, now he is married and Asad chose Zoya, there must be something he likes about her, she may not be what we expect his bride to be but the truth is he chose her as his bride" Hajira huffed, her eyes misting.
"I feel insulted, everyone use to ask me when are Asad and Sama getting married, now at his Walima what will I say? Why he didn't marry my daughter? They will think something is wrong with my Sama"
"Aapa" Lubna hugged her sister comfortingly.
"If bhaijaan would have been alive , this wouldn't have happened" She said.
"Aapa, Bhaijaan never asked Sama's hand for Asad, he suggested better proposals for Sama instead" Lubna reminded her causing Hajira to sob. She can't understand why was Hajira so stubborn on something that she had decided herself without asking the people who need to be involved in it. She always did this but regarding such big matter also she will be set wasn't what she expected.
"You can't understand what I feel whenever I see that girl as Asad's wife" Hajira said ruefully.
"Aapa you controlled yourself for days, have some more control for next few days, Walima will be done and we will go back, we are here to value our Bhaijaan, if not for Asad"
"Where the hell are you?!"
"At Asad's house as you said " he replied in bored tone.
"So, have you found out?" He asked barely keeping anger out of his tone.
"No" He replied hesitantly.
"Then what are you doing? " He gritted.
"You are not even sure he has any..."
"He has!" Mittal rudely cut off him.
"What?"
"You damn brother has the papers I need, I don't know how he laid hands on them but I want them back , I don't care how you do it! Otherwise I will destroy you!" Mittal gritted, he scowled at the orders thrown by Mittal.
