Once upon a time, An eighteen years old girl was in love with a boy, she use to pray for him... Crying in Sujood and beg Allah to make that easy for them to get married. But it didn't happen, the boy was married to someone else and the girl was broken from inside, but she hide all those tears and pains behind her beautiful smile. Six years along with the line her love faded and dreams glorified. Her great efforts, hard work and passion made her a girl of great renown. She got wealth and happiness in her life; and realised that she wouldn't get all those things if got married with that boy, because then she would only focus on her love not career! On the other hand..... A man was madly in love with a girl! His eternal love was free from lust or any kind of carnality. His heart prayed to get his love with every beat, but every time destiny doesn't give what one wants! Maybe scattering hearts into pieces is destiny's favourite game! So with a plan, Destiny took him apart from his love, converted him into a desireless person. ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐—น๐—น ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐˜๐˜„๐—ผ ๐—ฏ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜๐˜€ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ? <> Maazi ki kuch talkh, kuch haseen yaadon ko is tute dil main Sambhale hum to apni Afsananigari mein masruf the, is baat se bilkul bekhabar ki koi hamare intezaar main tehreer-e-Kitaab-e-ishq kar raha hai, aur Qismat Hume milane ka irada kar chuki hai.

Chapters

"Assalamualaikum Ammi," Holding Zaryab's hand, Shifa stepped in the home and found her mother-in-law sitting in the hall with Zeedaan and Alshaf.

"Waalaikum As Salam, aaj jaldi wapas aa gyi aap?" Mrs Kazmi smiled looking at her daughter-in-law and poured some water in the glass which Shifa picked but passed to Zaryab instead of having herself.

(You came back earlier today!)

"Yeah Ammi, I was worried about both boys so just come back." She replied and sat down on the sofa. Alshaf and Zeedaan hugged her and she also kissed her face lovingly.

"You're looking tired." Mrs Kazmi muttered and Shifa nodded sadly. "Yeah, I'm tired." She whispered back and looked at her children still in her embrace. Kissing their heads one more time she looked at Zaryab who was sitting beside her.

"Don't you love mumma?" She asked with a fake offended tone and pulled him in a hug too before kissing his head. Meanwhile Mr Kazmi came out of the room and Shifa sat straight while breaking the hug.

"Go upstairs I'm coming in a couple of minutes, but no new drama..." Instructing the last part with a hint of anger she let the kids go upstairs.

"Have you found a suitable location for your work or not?" Mr Kazmi asked and Shifa shook her head.

"Deni and I visited a few couples of locations but no one is suitable, and if the location is fine then rent is too high."

"Tell me your priorities, and requirements, I'll find you something suitable." Mr Kazmi offered Shifa while removing his specs and passing them to his wife who cleared them with her dupatta and gave back.

"It's okay Baba. You take care of yourself, we'll manage." She muttered in a dead voice. Mr Kazmi nodded and walked towards the door but Mrs Kazmi looked at her daughter-in-law who was looking extremely tired or maybe sad.

"Any problem?" She asked and Shifa looked up but shook her head. "Ammi I'm going upstairs." Before her eyes could fill with tears she stood up but Mrs Kazmi held her wrist.

"Sit here and tell me what's the problem?" It was an order.

"Ammi Deni is not like before... He is completely changed. He forget to smile, his smile is lost somewhere and his happy and calm nature is not like before." Shifa's voice was full of emotions and Mrs Kazmi held her hand lovingly.

"Hmm... He is busy. Once he settles his business then he'll be back to his old happy form." Shifa looked at her mother-in-law and shook her head. "Ammi, Deni is worried about the business but about Zaryab and Baba. Ammi please talk to baba to accept Zaryab." She requested and her eyes filled with tears.

"Ammi sometimes I miss Deni when he's just in front of me. He has stopped talking to everyone." This time she cried, "Please Ammi talk to baba... He's not only punishing Zaryab without any reason but us too. I can't see Deni in this situation, he's struggling everyday to give a good future to children and after coming back home he is struggling with this cold war which is going on for four years. Ammi, you tell me what's the benefit of a home where you don't feel relaxed after a tiring day?" Shifa asked the last part but Mrs Kazmi didn't say anything she just kept watching Shifa silently.

"Hum to Zaryab ko ek achhi zindagi dena chahte the, pta nhi tha ki humari zindagi itni mushkil ho jayegi." Shifa cleans her tears

(We wanted to give Zaryab a good life, but we did not know that our life would become so difficult.)

"Kitni bhi mehnat kar lo ek din wo ladka tumhe dhoka dega... Tum use maa baap ban kar paal rhe ho lekin wo tumhe kabhi maa baap ka rutba nhi dega." Shifa was stunned to hear Mr Kazmi's voice, he was standing behind her back and listening to everything, that's why Mrs Kazmi was silent, she wanted her husband to listen to the pain Daniyal and Shifa were going through but it seems Mr Kazmi was unaffected by Shifa's tears.

(No matter how hard you try, one day that boy will cheat on you... You are raising him as a parent, but he will never give you the status of a parent.)

"Baba jab humne Zaryab ko apni zindagi mein laane ka fesla kra tha tab hume pta tha, hume use sab kuch dena hai badle mein kuch nhi mangna. Hume Zaryab se kuchh bhi nahi chahiye, maa baap ka rutba bhi nhi. Hum to bas ek masoom yateem ko maa baap ka pyaar dena chahte hain." Shifa was crying and Mr Kazmi kind of glared at her.

(Baba, when we decided to bring Zaryab into our life, we knew that we have to give everything to him and ask for nothing in return. We don't want anything from Zaryab, not even the status of parents. We just want to give parental love to an innocent orphan.)

"Pachhtaoge tum dono ek din. Wo ladka kabhi bhi tumhara wafadaar nhi hoga."

(One day you both will regret one day. That boy won't be loyal to you.)

"Ho sakta hai aap theek keh rahe ho Baba, lekin hum nhi pachhtaye kyuki hum Allah ki raza ke liye ek yateem ko sahara de rahe hain." Shifa shared what she and Daniyal were hiding in their hearts for the last few years.

(Maybe you are right baba, but we'll not regret it because we are sponsoring an orphan for the sake of Allah.)

"Baba, have you forgotten the hadees (saying of the prophet (pbuh) regarding orphans?" Shifa asked, her tears rolling down unstoppable still she had an amazing hold on her voice which was neither loud nor shivering while crying. Mr Kazmi was stunned for a moment.

"Baba, our beloved prophet (pbuh) said that The best household among the Muslims is a household wherein an orphan is treated well. And the worst household among the Muslims is a household wherein an orphan is ill-treatedโ€

(Ibn Majah)." Shifa asked and Mr Kazmi was looking at her silently.

"Baba, do you remember the other hadees in which the prophet (pbuh) said while raising his index finger and joining the next finger to it, โ€˜I and the one who sponsors an orphan shall be in Paradise like these two (Bukhari, No. 5304)..." Shifa wiped her tears. "Who doesn't want to be so near to our beloved prophet (pbuh), and it's not that difficult, we just have to love a child just like our own children."

Mr Kazmi was silently seeing his daughter-in-law and soon he walked away. Shifa closed her eyes. One more time she was feeling like a loser... She smiled sadly and walked upstairs.

I'm not Daniyal Kazmi whose words tender one's heart... Only he knows the art of winning hearts without saying such, my whole speech was just a waste of time.

Criticising herself she wiped her tears on the upper most stair and walked towards the kids room. "What's going on?"

"Mummy we want to go for an ice cream." Alshaf demanded and Shifa's eyes fell on Zaryab, she glared at him with fake anger because she knew what he had done.

While driving back from her maternal home Shifa bought Zaryab his favourite icecream, he enjoyed it the whole way but Shifa instructed to not to tell Alshaf and Zeedaan because they will demand ice cream.

"No one is getting ice cream. You all had ice cream yesterday only." Shifa dismissed the demand

"But you gave one to Zaryab Bhai today also." Alshaf huffed.

"Because Zaryab Bhai behaved like a good boy, he helped Nani in household chores as well as pressed Nanu's head when he was having a headache." Shifa said more like a scolding for Alshaf and started setting the toys back in the shelf but Alshaf's eyes filled with tears.

If crocodile tears were a word it was surely introduced for Alshaf!

She knew how to use her tears to manipulate her father.

"Ye aasu apne abba ko dikhana, mere samne ye drama nhi chalega." Shifa strictly scolded her daughter who started crying for an ice cream.

(Show these tears to your father, this drama will not work in front of me.)

"Zeedaan, Zaryab both of you right now turn off this game and open your notebooks, only a few days are left and you've have to do a lot of holiday homework." Shifa instructed with an amount of anger in her voice. The wise boys didn't waste their time to get a good amount of scolding.

In no time they both were sitting on the floor, two small study tables were present in front of them and they were doing their work but Alshaf was continuously crying.

"Alshaf just shut your mouth otherwise I'll slap you." Shifa glared at her. If Daniyal was there he would slap Shifa to make his daughter cry but right now Shifa was free to handle her daughter according to her choice.

"Zeedaan, these standing lines look like the tail of a cow... Make it straight." She instructed and looked at the notebook of Zaryab.

"Stop decorating this, you're required to write a few lines about this picture, not to color it." Seeing him coloring the black n white printout she instructed him strictly and he nodded.

"Mumma, I've to write a paragraph on my family too, give me your mobile." Zaryab spread his hand in front of Shifa who furrowed.

"What do you have to do with my mobile?"

"I'll Google it." He smiled like a smart boy and Shifa smacked her forehead. "Google is making you useless. Come on write it down by yourself, I'll correct your mistakes!" She pointed out towards a blank page and then looked at Alshaf who was laying on the floor and still weeping.

"Stop crying Alshaf," she said in a loud voice without giving her much attention and she sat down on the floor.

"First of all give me an ice cream." She sniffled and Shifa turned her head to see her four-year old, she had already learnt the art of fulfilling her demands after showing her cry face. All thanks to her over-pampering father. But Shifa was always against this. She wanted to give her children everything and still wanted them to learn how to be patient.

"Ek thappad na du tumhare muh par. Ab mera sabr aur tumhara roona dono ki hadd ho gyi hai." Shifa was angry by then, Alshaf cried loudly and stood up, before she could run downstairs Shifa stopped her.

I'll give you a tight slap now. It's enough of my tolerance and your stubbornness.)

"Don't you dare to take a single step towards stairs." Shifa knew what would happen if she went downstairs. Mr Kazmi would take her for an icecream and not only an icecream but everything else too.

It was almost two hours, Alshaf was not crying now but lying on the same spot, she refused to have evening snacks too. When Zaryab and Zeedaan came to bring her around she didn't talk to them either. Even she did not talk to Mrs Kazmi who came upstairs to bring her around. She was sent by Shifa without coming into the notice of Alshaf. Shifa didn't want to give an impression to Alshaf that her tears could make impossible possible but deep down she was unable to tolerate her daughters tears.

"Bachho ke sath itni sakhti se peysh nhi aate Shifa," Mrs Kazmi scolded her daughter-in-law who was cooking Biryani for dinner because Alshaf likes it.

(Shifa it's not good to be so strict with children.)

"Ammi Deni ke hadd se zyada pyaar ne use bigaad diya hai." Shifa was concerned for her daughter when both the ladies listened to the horn. Surprisingly today Daniyal came back earlier. The horn didn't only attract the attention of these two ladies but the little girl too, after all she stood up from her spot and ran downstairs with a fresh amount of tears in her gray eyes.

(Ammi, Deni's over-pampering has already spoiled her.)

"Aaj jaldi aa gaye?" Coming out of the kitchen Shifa said and Daniyal smiled.

(Today you come back early?)

"Itna bura lag rha hai mujhe dekh ke ? Wapas chala jau?" He asked and Shifa smiled wholeheartedly, he was so happy after a long time.

(Seems you're not happy to see me? Should I go back?)

"Bas aese hi khush raha kariye aap dono." Mrs Kazmi complimented but before they both could respond a voice grabbed Daniyal's attention.

(Always stay happy like this.)

"Dad..."

"Alshaf, what's wrong beta? Why are you crying?" Daniyal asked and his daughter jumped in his arms. "Dad, mummy didn't give me ice cream."

"Shifa kya Pareshani hai? Bachhi ice cream maang rhi hai, aapne di kyu nhi? Ghar mein khatam ho gyi thi kya?" Daniyal scolded his wife and looked at his daughter, cleaning her tears and kissing her cheeks.

(What's the matter Shifa, why didn't you give her ice cream if she's asking for it? Why are you making her cry? Is there no ice cream at home?)

"Dad I don't want this ice cream, I want the one Zaryab Bhai had while returning home. I want that chocolate cone." She weep and Daniyal kissed her forehead after cleaning her tears.

"Alshaf stop crying princess, let's go... Dad will buy you many ice-creams. Does my daughter want anything else? Dad will buy you everything you want." Shifa gave a look to her mother-in-law, showing her how Daniyal was spoiling Alshaf.

"Deni, koi ice cream nhi milegi ise, chhod dijiye ise fooran." Shifa said strictly and Daniyal's brows furrowed. Alshaf felt scared of her mother and she jumped out from her father's arms before running back upstairs.

(Deni, leave her right now, she's not getting anything.)

"Hadd hoti hai Shifa, bachhi ko itni itni si cheezon ke liye tadpaogi aap? Wo meri beti hai, main uski har khwahish puri karunga."

(Everything has a limit, shifa. will you make my child suffer for such a mere thing? She is my daughter, I will fulfill her every demand.)

"Har khwahish puri nhi kari jati, Deni. Aur ye uski khwahish nhi hai uski hiras hai, use ice cream isliye nhi chahiye kyuki uska dil chah rha hai balki isliye chahiye kyuki Zaryab ne khayi hai. Buri aadat ko bachpan mein hi khatam kar dena chahiye." And Shifa turned to go back to the kitchen but stopped for a moment and glared at her husband.

(Not every wish is meant to be fulfilled, Deni. And this is not her desire, it is her rapacity, she does not want an ice cream because she's craving but because Zaryab has eaten it. Don't promote her rapacity, bad habits should be eradicated in childhood itself.)

"Aaj ke baad aap Alshaf ki koi zidd puri nhi karenge, uski zarurat puri kariye, zidd nhi." Shifa walked back to the kitchen after instructing Daniyal with a moderate amount of anger. This father daughter duo needed a good lesson to mend their ways, and now Shifa was determined to give one to both.

(Now you won't fulfill any of her stubbornness. Fulfill her needs but stubbornness.)

"Pagal ho gyi hai ye aurat, meri bachi ko rula diya." Daniyal huffed while glaring at the door of the kitchen where Shifa disappeared a few moments ago but Mrs Kazmi gave a disappointed look to her son.

(This woman has gone mad, she made my baby girl cry.)

"Apni bachhi ko aap darakht se tood ke laye the? Alshaf sirf aapki bachhi nhi hai, Shifa ka bhi barabar ka haq hai us par. Ek maa ki hesiyat se wo bilkul theek kar rhi hain." Mrs Kazmi announced and Daniyal looked at her with disappointment.

(Did you bring your daughter by plucking it from a tree? Alshaf is not only your daughter, she belongs to Shifa equally and as a mother she's doing correct. )

"Ammi you too?" He walked upstairs after giving a disappointed look to Mrs Kazmi.

Zeedaan came into the bedroom where his parents were relaxing, Zaryab was laying down in between Shifa and Daniyal and Alshaf was present beside Daniyal, she was still upset and not even talking to him so he was continuously making efforts to bring her around by caressing her head and kissing her cheeks but the stubborn kid wasn't ready to leave her anger

"Dad, Dadu is calling you, he's saying to have dinner with him." Zeedaan announced and his parents looked at him with confusion. For the last three years Daniyal wasn't having his meal with his parents because he couldn't leave Zaryab alone so Shifa along with kids go to the dining area for having dinner but she only feeds kids, and comes back upstairs to have dinner with Daniyal and Zaryab. Mr Kazmi never insisted his son join him for dinner but tonight it was happening.

"Shifa you stay here with Zaryab, I'm taking kids for dinner. Let me see if baba wants something." He said in a hushed tone and Shifa nodded while switching off the TV. "Come on Alshaf, Zeedaan, it's dinner time." Shifa announced and Alshaf showed her puffy cheeks.

"I won't have dinner until I get ice cream."

"Fine by me. Stay here only." Shifa replied while looking towards Zeedaan who was standing at the door of the room.

"Zeedaan, I've made Biryani and kheer too, you like it na?" She asked intentionally louder so that Alshaf could listen to it. Daniyal picked her up in his arms and kissed her cheeks.

"Let's attack the biryani."

"No. First of all I want that ice cream that Zaryab Bhai had."

"Be a good girl princess. Dad will get you one but for now let's have some yummy yummy biryani."

"Promise?"

"Yes promise." He kissed her cheeks one more time.

"Zaryab and Mumma will watch their favourite power rangers together." Muffling his hair Shifa whispered and they both laid down on the bed again. "tell me if you feel hungry, I'll serve you dinner, otherwise we'll have our dinner with dad." Shifa softly kissed her forehead and he smiled.

"I'm hungry but I'll have dinner with you and Dad." Kissing back Shifa's cheek he muttered and she smiled while embracing the little boy. 

"Mera achha bachha."

(My good boy.)

"Meri achhi Mumma." He copied Shifa who laughed but stood up to bring food for Zaryab, it wasn't fine to make a small kid wait to have dinner.

(My good mumma.)

"We'll hide some kheer for both of us otherwise your dad won't leave for us." Shifa planned and Zaryab nodded with excitement as well as a mischievous smile.

She went downstairs where the maid was setting the dining table Mrs Kazmi was sitting there talking to her grandchildren and Daniyal was silently seeing towards his father who just now took the seat of the head of the family.

"Betho Daniyal, khana Khao." Mr Kazmi gestured towards a chair and Daniyal looked at Shifa who was a few steps away from him.

(Sit Daniyal, have dinner.)

"Baba main thodi deyr mein khaa lunga." Daniyal replied without wasting time.

(Baba, I'll have my dinner after some time.)

"Seedha kahiye na Shifa ke sath khayenge." Mrs Kazmi kind of rolled her eyes and Mr Kazmi looked at Shifa.

(Say clearly that you will have dinner with Shifa.)

"Shifa beta aa kar sabke sath betho, sath mein khana khayenge." Shifa looked at Daniyal on that instruction. She did not want to refuse Mr Kazmi's command but how could she leave a hungry Zaryab alone and fill herself with delicious food.

(Shifa beta, come and have dinner with us.)

"Baba, Zaryab bhuka hai, aap log shuru kariye main use khana khila kar aa jaungi." Her voice was full of softness but Mr Kazmi glared at her. She didn't say a single word in the reply or that glare just bowed her head a little.

(Baba, Zaryab is hungry, you all start having dinner, I'll join you after feeding him.)

"Bula lo use bhi neeche." Mr Kazmi said like an order but without leaving his disappointment. Shifa and Daniyal looked at each other with confusion then they both looked at the old man who was lifting the dish of biryani and serving small amounts to both children.

(Call him here.)

"Kya hua sunayi nhi diya kya? Bula lo use bhi aur betho, khana shuru karo, chawal thande ho jayenge." Today Shifa found a glimpse of Anwar in Mr Kazmi, he was not showing his soft hearted nature clearly but showing his rude side.

(What happened, didn't you hear? Call him also and sit down, start eating, the rice will get cold.)

Daniyal and Shifa looked at each other and smiled happily, "Baba you're the best." Placing his hands on his father's shoulder Daniyal said and gave him a small hug. Shifa called Zaryab and he took his seat in between Mr Kazmi and Daniyal, Zeedaan and Alshaf were sitting on the either side of his grandmother who was not eating herself but feeding them with her hand.

"Kya khaoge beta?"

(What do you wanna have beta?)

Placing his hand on Zaryab's head Daniyal asked lovingly and he looked at the table full of different dishes. Daniyal doesn't like biryani much, for him it's an overrated dish, so his wife makes sure to make chicken curry and roti whenever she makes biryani. And Zeedaan being a true bhanja (nephew) of his Mamu(s) (maternal uncles) never settles down his menu without Daal Chawal, just like his Hamdan Mamu.

"Khana shuru karo" a voice grabbed everyone's attention and Daniyal saw his father passing him the bowl of chicken curry. It was a silent gesture to serve Zaryab and Daniyal did the same.

(Start having dinner)

Today Shifa and Daniyal's happiness had no boundaries. Daniyal was unaware of the reason behind this sudden change but Shifa knew it. She was happy that her words could also change someone's heart just like Daniyal.

But this time Shifa's words worked more than Daniyal. In these four years Daniyal had talked to Mr Kazmi numerous times but every time he had the same response in the end but Shifa's words cleaned the golden heart which was covered with the dust of anger and rudeness towards an innocent child. Mr Kazmi realised that his son and daughter-in-law were doing something which was morally correct but unfortunately he had been doing something immoral for the last four years.

It's not necessary that elders are always correct, sometimes younger people give lessons that elders need to learn. Something similar was happening in Qasr-e-Kazmi.

Shifa was seeing her happy family and smiling like anything. Her husband was smiling after a very long time, children were sitting with their elders, everyone was having dinner other than her.

"Why is your plate empty?" Daniyal asked in a whisper and she sniffled while gulping down the tears of joy and picked biryani from the table.

Was this so easy? Why didn't I try to talk to baba earlier?

She questioned herself but thanked Almighty for this relief. It seems like a burden has gone away from her heart. Before she could lift her hand to start eating another hand grabbed it under the table. She looked at her husband who was seeing only her. They both smiled and tightened their grip on each other's hands.

They both knew raising a child who's not their own wouldn't be a cup of tea, but they decided to do so without wanting anything in return other than blessings from Allah, and maybe this was the a test for them to check if they would take a step back from their decision to save themselves from hardships of life or stay on the decision which they had taken to please Allah.

And today, after four years, they proved themselves as well as their pure intentions.

<><><><>

After a long time, tonight they slept peacefully. After many years they were smiling like before. Shifa turned her side and out her arm to hug her husband but her slumber got weak after feeling the mattress instead of his frame. Slowly opening her eyes she found the other side of the bed empty, she could sleep again with the thought that Daniyal was in the washroom but her slumber was immediately gone after seeing that Alshaf was also not on the bed.

"Alshaf... Deniii." She called both of them to get no response. After checking the washroom and kids room she furrowed. Zeedaan and Zaryab were sleeping in their room without any clue of that father daughter duo. Shifa checked the kitchen as well as every corner of the home only then she noticed that Daniyal's car was missing from the parking area.

Glancing at the clock she huffed. It was twelve at night and she understood what Daniyal did with her. After having dinner when I came upstairs Daniyal and Alshaf were continuously talking to each other in a secretive manner. It seems they were planning something, Shifa thought that Daniyal was doing something to uplift his daughter's mood so she didn't disturb the daughter and father. After almost half and half when Shifa came back to the bedroom after putting the boys to sleep she found Daniyal covering Alshaf with the blanket. She was surprised that tonight this little girl slept so soon but again shrugged that thought as everything could happen when it comes to Daniyal and Alshaf.

Today Shifa wanted to talk to Daniyal but as soon as she opened her mouth to say something he just pulled her in his arms and whispered. "Begum Sahiba, no more reporting tonight. Just sleep and let me sleep too." Then what could Shifa do? She was already tired so just slept in her husband's arms within a few moments. And now after half an hour when she's seeing everywhere this father daughter duo was missing.

After one more hour she listened to a little disturbance and the duo entered back in the bedroom. Alshaf was sleeping peacefully in his father's arms and he was looking like a winner.

"Where were you?" She asked.

"Nowhere!"

"Ice cream khila kar le aaye beti ko?" She crossed her arms on her chest and Daniyal gave her an innocent look.

(Brought the daughter after feeding her ice cream.)

"Aapne ice cream ko mana kra tha, meri itni majaal ki main ice cream khilau?" Such an obedient and nice husband! "Kulfi khilayi hai."

(Do I have the guts to feed her ice cream when you refuse to do so.)

(I fed her kulfi.)

"Deni aap mujhe kabhi seriously kyu nhi lete?" Shifa huffed.

(Deni, why don't you ever take me seriously?)

"Bachhi hai yaar."

(Come on, she's just a kid.)

"Bachhe bade bhi hote hain, itni zidd karne lagi hai ye, har zidd puri nhi kari jaati Deni." she was looking disappointed but Daniyal set his daughter in the bed and kissed her cheeks before covering her properly.

(Children grow up too. She's becoming so stubborn, it's not acceptable to fulfill every demand.)

"Hone do ziddi, main sari ziddein puri karunga apni beti ki." Daniyal said like a proud father but Shifa saw him with defeated look.

(Let her be stubborn. I'll fulfill every demand of my daughter.)

"I'm afraid of that age when kids don't understand the difference between Ruby and Amber... I'm afraid of the time if she start to demand for an amber to destroy her life, don't make her use to of fulfilling every demand. Teach her to respect the elder's decision too, fulfill her every need but don't become the Jinny of Aladin for her that she looks towards you with a list of wishes. Every time we do not get what we wish for. Or sometimes we do not wish for something good." Shifa explained and Daniyal thought for a moment then sighed.

"Aye aye captain." He kissed her cheek and she gave a disappointed look. Did he already wasted her speech?

"Deni you don't listen to me..."

"Then whom do I listen to my lady?" He asked resting his forehead on her forehead and she glared at him.

"Your daughter."

"Are you jealous of my daughter?" He teased her but she looked away.

"Jealous of someone..." he again teased her.

"Shut up, aap na bohot..." She left the sentence incomplete

(You're so...)

"Bure hain?" He completed but she looked at him and smiled.

(Bad.)

"Achhe hain. I love you." She rested her head on his chest and he kissed her head with a big smile.

(Good.)

"I love you too, meri cheeni ki bori." Shifa suddenly took a step back

(My gunny bag of sugar.)

"Deni aap bohot bure hain." she laid down on the bed and covered her face with a pillow.

(Deni you're so bad.)

"Ahmaq Aurat, cheeni ki bori ka matlab hota hai my sweetheart." Uncovering her face he whispered but she hit him with the same pillow.

(Idiot woman, gunny bag of sugar means sweetheart.)

"Get lost." She pushed him away and he just laughed before kissing the cheek of his cheeni ki bori (gunny bag of sugar) opps sweetheart.
