Mohabbat sabr ke alawa kuch nahi
Maine har ishq ko intezar karte dekha hai

Rubab and Khushnuma were in lawn when they returned from shopping,

"Ayat! Khali hath ho? Tumhare bag Hanan ne liya Hai Kya?" Khushnuma, who was excited to see what Ayat bought for her, but when saw Ayat with empty hands, she asked.

(Where is your shopping bag? Hanan is bringing them?)

"Nahi, Chachi, darasal... Woh..." Ayat fidget with herself while trying to come up with excuse.

(No, actually, Chachi... I...)

"Woh Hume kuch samajh mein hi nahi aya."

(I didn't liked anything there.)

"Tum log itne derr se shopping ke liye Gaye ho aur tumhe kuch samajh mein nahi aya?" Rubab asked.

(You were gone for hours and you didn't liked anything?)

"Shyra toh itne sarey shoppers leke gayi aur tumne kuch nahi liya?" Another question came from Khushnuma's side.

(Shyra had so much bags with herself and you didn't bought anything?)

"Eh...hume waise bhi nahi pasand shopping wagera.... Mamma, hum apke sath shopping Kar lenge." Making a whining face, Ayat complained.

(You know na I don't like doing shopping. Mamma, I'll do my shopping with you.)

"Chalo koi baat nahi. Apni beti ke liye main khud hi shopping Kar lungi." Khushnuma lovingly hold Ayat's chin and said.

(It's okay. I'll do shopping for my daughter.)

Ayat nod her head

"Mamma, hum apne kamre mein ja rahe Hain." Ayat told her mother and left.

(I'm going to my room.)

His left hand holding his cheek while its elbow was resting on the armrest of chair, Hanan was thinking about Ayat.

"Hanan! Hanan!" His daydreaming was interrupted by his mother's loud voice. Which made his hand slipped from his cheek.

"Kya hua, mummy?" Getting up, he asked .

(What happened, mummy?)

"Ayat aur tumhare beech koi jhagra hua hai?" Khushnuma stood in front of him, crossing her arms over her chest and questioned.

(Did you fought with Ayat?)

"Nahi toh." Hanan tried to remember if they did. But they didn't, he quickly shook his head negatively.

(No!)

"Toh phir Ayat ka mood kyu off Hai?"

(Then why Ayat's mood is off?)

"Mood off Hai?" Hanan asked to himself. Then a smile formed on his lips when realized why her mood could be off.

(Her mood is off?)

"Daat dikhane ki zaroorat nahi Hai." His smile made Khushnuma more angry then she already was. And her words made Hanan close his mouth and offendly looked at his mother.

(Don't show your teeth.)

"Sach Sach batao Kya kaha tumne Ayat se?" Khushnuma repeated her question.

(Tell me honestly what you said to Ayat?)

"Apko aisa kyu lagta hai ki maine hi kuch kaha hoga ussey?"
