THIRD PERSON'S POV

Maizah was on dinner table silently and looking at her mother every now and then. She was missing her love, scoldings and care.

''Stop it Maizah, when she don't want to love you anymore then you should also stay away from her." Maizah's subconscious scolded adviced her and she nodded with stubbornness.

''But she is my Ammi how can I forget everything so easily and leave her like this?'' Her heart questioned and she was silent.

"Maizah, pass me rice." A voice dragged her out from her trance, and she realised that she was playing with her food since five minutes. She looked at, Anzala who made a demand for rice and she nodded before passing him dish of rice.

Meanwhile Abdul Gafur along with Rashid left from there as they had completed their meal, but all the others were still busy in dinner.

"Anzala, Maizah you both haven't even congratulate me." Rumi said in complaining way and everyone looked at her.

"I wish you people treated us like family members then I would definitely congratulate you but here, no one is interested in talking with us." Maizah gave voice to her pain and Anzala nodded.

"You all are punishing us for the sin we never committed." Anzala said with determination and Momina glared him then Maizah but Aasif and Gul Bano were feeling sad for their daughter.

"I'm feeling like a stranger in my own home, no one is talking to me! I don't know what to say in my defence but I think some people always take care of their reputation and make sure that their reputation is safe, no matter how much they hurt someone's heart for that reputation."Maizah expressed her anger in words and Momina glared her.

"Trust is also precious, if we trusted you then why you broke our trust?" Momina asked to Maizah in anger voice and Maizah chuckled dryly.

" I don't think you people will trust us ever, I am not getting any way to make you trust on us. Even Anzala and I have decided that we won't talk to eack other, maybe you will get to understand that we aren't interested in each other in any aspect. In providing ourselves pure and pious we are leaving our friendship too which was in between since childhood." Saying that Maizah made herself stand from the chair leaving her dinner in between, but Anzala felt said when Maizah said about breaking the friendship. The feeling which he felt was not able to define in words he felt like something precious was taken away from him.

"Ammi, you are talking about trust. You all are talking about trust! Have you trusted on us?" After Maizah left, Anzala asked to his mother because he was feeling sad for her situation.

"Chote Abbu, how simply you believe on that pics instead of your daughter! Is your love and trust so much weak?" Anzala asked to Aasif and he was answerless.

"Do you even know what happened that day?" Anzala asked with frustration.

"What happened?" Gul asked and Momina rolled her eyes.

"Gul, they will tell the same story do you wanna listen the same?" Momina asked and Gul got tears in her eyes.

"Bhabhi, Maizah can't do anything like that" Gul mumbled and Momina glared Anzala.

"We never thought that they both would do something like that." Anzala made himself stand with frustration and made his way towards his room but he stopped two rooms before when he listened sound of sniffing someone was crying.

She wasn't anyone else but Maizah.

" Mazi.. Maziiiiiiiii" Anzala entered in the room and she wiped her tears.

"Chup ho ja yaar"

(Dude stop crying) he said and sat down beside her on the bed.

"Anzala go from here. I already told you that I don't want your support. So leave me alone." Maizah yelled angrily and Anzala was again shocked but he couldn't stop himself to shifted towards Maizah. He keep thinking something for a moment, but her crying made his heart clenched.

"Stop crying..." Saying that he cupped her face with both hands. Maizah was shocked on his sudden act, she forgot about her crying and lifted her gaze towards him, he was already watching her.

"Anzala... Please.." She said uncomfortably and Anzala smiled looked at her, but moved back.

"I can't imagine that you are crying like this." He whispered little away from her face and Maizah felt the heat creeped to her ears to her cheeks.

"Mazi, you never cried this much." He added and she nodded while lowering her gaze.

"I never felt this much hurt too." She mumbled and Anzala also nodded slowly.

"I know, but you shouldn't be breakdown like this" He said still cupping her face and she creeped away, while removing his hand from face.

"I won't cry again, I don't want anyone for support, I'm enough for me." Maizah said angrily and pushed and creeped away from Anzala.

"Mazi, Why are you behaving like this with me? What have I done?" Anzala asked with anger.

"I'm not saying to you to come to me. Go away from me. First No one cared about me, then Naail, he didn't think about me. And now you are showing your fake concern and after sometime you will also behave the same with me so go away now. I don't want your help." Maizah shouted and Anzala glared her.

"I'm going I was thinking that we both need each other support that's why I was here to console you. But dude you become mad!" Shouting the same Anzala took back steps towards the door.

"Anzala, I never ask for your support even I don't want your support. I am enough for me." Maizah said while glaring Anzala and he was shock with to watch her expressions and act. She was sounding broken but at the same time angry tone mask the broken pieces of her heart

"Maizah.. I was just..." She didn't let him complete his sentence

"Anzala, get out of my room. I don't need you in my life or in my room I am enough to handle my all the matters."Maizah shouted on him and he was grinding his teeth by then.

" What is wrong with you? What do you think of yourself? I was just willing to help you but if you don't need then go to hell from my side. I too don't have time to waste on you." Anzala shouted back and while throwing the water bottle placed beside the table of him.

"I already knew when everyone left me alone then how can you be with me?" While controlling her tears she said with crumbling lips that was difficult recognise the broken state of hers.

"I'm not this much emotionally weak that I need your support I can handle everything you may leave now." she said with full of ego just to hide the broken state of hers.

''I can't show that I need anyone.'' She said to herself and turned her face to other side.

"Go to hell" Mumbling the same Anzala turned to go out from her room but he was stopped by the figure standing on the doorway.

"What is going on? Is this home or your battlefield?" That was Rashid who scolded both of them.

"This girl has become mad" Anzala shouted while pointing out towards Maizah.

"Anzala, don't make me more angry I am already done with all of you. You all have already make my life a game now. I don't want anyone of you get out of my room." Maizah said to Anzala but actually she was saying all those things to all the family members who were standing on the doorway of her room.

" What is the thing which doesn't make you angry? I haven't said anything wrong but still you are angry!" Anzala shouted on Maizah and turned his towards his family.

"Some people don't need a big point, they can easily make the mountain out of molehill to destroy others peace and life." Anzala asserted as if he was saying to Maizah but actually that satire was especially for his family.

" I Don..." Maizah's words work cut in between by a loud roar

"Stop it!!" That was Abdul Gafur who also came out from his room, holding his can in his right hand.

"That enough both of you." Momina said and Rashid glared Anzala but he glared Maizah who wasn't on the back seat to show her rage so she glared him back.

"Anzala, Maizah come in my room within five minutes.." Aasif said to both of them and they both looked at, each other.

"I'm not coming anywhere!"

"Now I don't have energy for another argument!"

Maizah and Anzala both side in unison and their parents were shocked because that was first time when they both were rebelling, before that they always obeyed their parents no matter how much strict they were with them.

"Maizah, Anzala in my room." Abdul Gafur said in strict way and soon all of them listen the sound of his cane as he went back to his room after ordering is grandchildren. And they both unwillingly obeyed .

"You both are husband and wife understand this. You have to live your whole life together, we are waiting for your graduation then we will officially announce your wedding." Maizah and Anzala both glared each other.

"Never! I don't want to continue this marriage." Anzala said and Maizah nodded.

"Nor me"

"I want to divorce Maizah." Anzala state very clearly and Aasif looked at him with wide eyes.

"Wh.. What are you saying?" Asif stammered in disbelief.

" Are you out of your mind?" Rashid shouted on Anzala.

"I am not out of my mind but today I have come to my wise senses you all are playing with my life." Anzala said loudly while showing his anger to daring Maizah.

" She is my daughter you can't do anything like that. " Aasif said with rage.

"Abbu how can you call me your daughter when didn't believe me?" Maizah asked took steps towards her room.

"Maizah..." She was stopped by the call of her grandfather

" I still have to say something wait!'' She jerk her head weather taunting.

" I don't have to listen anything." Saying the same she made her way to her room.

"Anzala she is my daughter. You can't divorce her life this " Aasif said while grabbing his collar.

" This marriage was your decision but the separation is our decision." saying that Anzala pushed Aasif's hand away from his collar.
