ANZALA's POV

"Anzala these are divorce papers sign them, beta we did a big mistake now it's better to make everything fine as soon as we can" Abbu and chhote abbu both said one by one, passing me papers and I read them inside out.

"Abbu I have to give mehr to Maizah before giving her divorce" I siad and they both exchanged their looks.

"Aasif we didn't think about this!" Abbu said and I rolled my eyes.

"This isn't anything new you all elders never think before taking big decisions of our life" I said more like a taunt and both of them tolerate that silently because they were on mistake.

"I'm sorry beta, we are also humans sometimes we make mistakes" chhote abbu said with sorrowful voice

"I wish your small sorry could bring back the time which we both have passed while cursing our ownself and feeling guilty without doing anything wrong" I state and first time detect guilt in Abbu's eyes.

"Now we are mending what we have done wrong!" Abbu said in slow voice and chote abbu nodded with down face.

"Since childhood till now Mazi and I are best friends, we care for each other, we fight with each other but now I'm feeling that you people doesn't understand the actual relationship between us, you all interprete our relationship in wrong way. We were requesting in front of you but you didn't believe on us, but when Arham told you everything then you understood and believe on him! It means you don't have trust in your own children but on an outsider.

"Anzala now it's enough, if I'm listening everything it doesn't mean you will continue this rubbish and I'll......" abbu was scolding me when chhote abbu placed his hand on Abbu's shoulder

"Bhai sahab he is not wrong..." chhote abbu muttered and I smiled more like a taunt

"Sign these papers" Abbu again said and I shook my head.

"First let them sign by Maizah, I'm coming then I'll sign" I said and return the papers to abbu.

"What's the point of signing papers by her first?" Abbu asked in confusion

"There is a point but you won't understand that" I said and they both looked at each other then chhote abbu shrugged and abbu sighed before going out from the room.

After two minutes I marched to the room where Maizah was present, I was shocked when I entered in the room, she was signing those papers.

"Here" chhote abbu placed his finger on the blank space of paper and Maizah sign on that paper.

"Anzala now you sign these soon" Abbu said Maizah took steps towards me, she was holding those papers and pen in her hand. She stopped at a step distance from me and passed me those papers, I smirked and a tear rolled down from her eyes, she glare me and I glare her back, I was really angry on her.

"Si.. Sign them" She stammered in cracky voice and I raised my brow

"Why not?" I whispered and she slowly wiped the tear rolling down from her eyes

I held those crispy papers and reread the complete content, Maizah was still glaring me with her tear filled eyes.

Lifting the papers in air, I tear them into two equal halves.

" Anzala" that was Abbu's voice, but I was only watching Maizah's face, first she become pale then she had a shocked expression on her face.

"Do you want divorce?" I asked in whisper and she stay silent, but I tore those papers more

"I'm asking.... Do you want divorce?" I asked and she slowly shook her head and a tear rolled down from her eye

"Then you should take stand for yourself and this relationship" I whispered back with rage running in my whole frame. I lift her hand and placed those Tored up paper pieces on her palm while glaring her. I lift my gaze to the elders present in the room, everyone was watching me without blinking, they were shocked on my act. I wanted to check Maizah whether she would take stand for this relationship or not? And I was highly disappointed that she was a coward person who was going to break our relationship by signing those papers.

I left the room and everyone was watching me with shocked expressions.

"Anzala.." I listened Abbu's call but I made my way to my room and shut the door with loud thud.

"Maizah should take stand for this relationship but she hasn't!" I throw the pen which was in my hand and sat down in the bed, after ten minutes of my anger and frustration I decided to take a shower. Drying my hair with towel when I come out from the bathroom abbu was sitting on bed.

" Come and sit here" patting on the mattress beside himself he said and I did so before throwing the towel on sofa.

"What was that?" He asked and I singed.

"Abbu I don't want to divorce Maizah." I said clearly

"Why?" He asked and I think for two minutes.

"Abbu... Since childhood we both are close to each other, we care for each other." I said and he hummed

"it means..." he stopped in between because I didn't let him complete

"Abbu why you people can't understand that It's our life not your record book! Make us sign nikkah nama (marriage certificate) whenever you want and make us sign divorce papers whenever you want! When we were saying that we don't want this marriage at that time you all forced us. We were not ready to accept this marriage but still we respect your decision and Since three months we were preparing ourselves to accept this relationship for rest of our life, now when we accept this marriage you are realising your mistake and saying for separation! We never wanted to get married but when you all forced us. But not now." I state with frustration and he was looking me with confusion

" I can't believe that now you're changing your decision, earlier you weren't happy with this marriage" He said and I closed my eyes to drew out a sigh.

"Yes I have changed this decision, because I have realised that no one know me better than Mazi and no one can know her better than me. For the first time I'm talking to you clearly about this and I'm expecting that you won't forced your decision on us again'' I siad and he made himself stand 

"We will talk about this matter tomorrow, today is your sister's reception, I don't want anything to be come in front of anyone." before going out from the room he said I nodded.

MAIZAH'S POV

I can't believe that Anzala took stand in front of all... I looked at the pieces of those divorce papers placed on my palm and a tear rolled down from my eyes again.

" What's going on between you two?" Abbu and bade abbu both asked and I felt my breath was stucked in my chest, I didn't had guts to confess my love towards Anzala. I looked at abbu and Ammi.

"What is this Maizah, will you tell me?" Abbu asked and I stay silent.

"Maizah Answer! We are asking something" Bade abbu asked and I still stay silent.

"Maizah come here" Ammi held my hand and took me towards couch.

"Gul you talk to her I am coming back after some time" Saying that abbu looked at bade abbu and they both went out from the room giving us space to talk freely.

"Maizah tell me what happened? Why are you crying on the name of this divorce?" Ammi asked and I again felt embarrassed to confess my love for Anzala so I stay silent, my fist was still holding those papers.

"Maizah" Ammi said as a polite question after holding my hand softly and I looked at her.

"Ammi... I.. Don't want to take divorce" I state without meeting my eyes with her and she left my hand

"What are you saying! Are you mad?" she asked with wide eyes and I looked up. I state everything in front of her that we both like and care about each other but I didn't said that I started loving Anzala. I was sitting with down gaze and when I looked up her eyes were glaring me.

"Maizah have you and Anzala crossed your limits..." She asked and I was shocked, my eyes become wide and heart skipped a beat.

"Ammi.." I was just able to say that nothing else.

"Tell me clearly, I'm noticing you and Anzala since many days, the way you both were roaming around each other and all these things were giving me strong doubt on both of you" I was shocked to listen that.

"No ammi.. We never did anything" I said in single breath with wide eyes.

"What you both were doing in your room other night?" I was shocked again!!

Yaar is there any privacy in this home?

I groaned in my thoughts, but couldn't do anything about my family

"We were arguing as usually" I state half lie... Ofcourse I couldn't tell her that Anzala became mad that day and pecked my lips.

"Maizah what the rubbish are you thinking! Anzala is an immature and careless person, he doesn't earn a single penny, and moreover A husband should respect his wife but he always argue with you." Ammi present every single flaws of Anzala in front of me.

"Ammi can I ask you a question?" I asked and she nodded.

"kya Ye sari buraiyan Anzala main jab nahi thi jab aap sab ne apni marzi se hamara nikkah karaya tha?" I asked without meeting my gaze with her, but sense her sharp gaze on myself.

(Ammi Wasn't all these flaws present in him when you all got us married at your own will?)

" Maizah don't be fool! That situation was different" Ammi said and I smiled as a taunt.

"Yes that situation was different because you all were planning to do our marriage and now everything is different because you all wants to separate us! Why there isn't any value of our emotions in your eyes?" I asked with my broken heart and she caressed my head.

"Maizah beta try to understand Anzala is not suitable for you." I was really angry but couldn't show. I stay silent for good ten minutes and then Ammi placed her hand on my hand.

"Maizah I want you to marry with Dayim, he is much better than Anzala" I pulled my hand from under hers.

"Ammi please... Dayim bhai is just an elder cousin for me, nothing else" I said with frustration.

"Before your nikkah Anzala was also just a cousin for you" Ammi said and I was done by then.

I made myself stand and took step towards the door, but I was stopped when Abbu entered in the room and held my arm. "Come" Abbu said and I sat beside him in sofa, Ammi was sitting on his other side.

"I listened what you were saying!" Abbu said and Don't know why but I felt embarrassed. Abbu held my right hand between his both hands.

"Is this my daughter's last decision that she doesn't want divorce?" Abbu asked and I slowly nodded

"Please knock some sense in her head" Ammi said to abbu while glaring me

"Gul Not she but I need to knock some senses to your head." Abbu said and a smile creeped to my lips.

"Aasif you are given preference to Anzala because he is your nephew but Dayim is my nephew that's why you are rejecting him" Ammi said with anger.

"Gul don't be fool I am doing what is better for Maizah, its her life let her live with happiness." Abbu placed his decision and I felt happy.

" This decision is wrong, you are again taking a wrong decision as same as you decided to send her Goa" Ammi almost yelled in anger and stood up with jolt

" I am doing what will bring happiness in Maizah's life." Abbu also shouted on Ammi, first time in my life I was witnessing abbu shouted on Ammi.

"Ghar main mehmaan hai cheekhiye mat!" Ammi yelled in whispered and I was witnessing all these things silently.

( there are many guest in home don't shout like)

" Hamesha Bahar walon ki Fikar karna! Tumhen dekhta Nahin Hamari beti ke Khushi Kis cheeze Mein Hai?" Abbu said very angrily and I was crying by then because I was the reason of that dispute between them.

(Why you always think about outsiders instead of the happiness of your own daughter)

''I'm thinking about your and my daughter's future bu...." Abbu was shouting on Ammi when I stood up with a jolt

" Stop it....". I shouted and they both looked at each other then me

" please stop arguing like this, I.. I won't get happiness in this way. Please don't argue" I said in mumbling and they both glare each other.

"I won't let her accept this marriage, Anzala isn't suitable for her." Ammi said in anger.

"You dare you stop her, then I'll show you what I can do" Abbu said with that much anger that I never witnessed him before.

"Kya karenge aap?" (What will you do?) Ammi asked and her eyes dropped few tears, I never witnessed abbu talking to Ammi in angry way, they were an ideal couple with full love but that day was different.

"waqt aane par Bata dunga main kya kar sakta hu" Saying that abbu left the room and I was feeling guilty for that

( I will show you what I can do when the right time will come)

Ammi glare me with anger and her eyes dropped two tears again, I didn't stop there and rum to my room.
