SHIFA'S POV

That was been five months of Faraz's engagement with that girl. I was feeling pain...

Faraz was the first guy in my life about whom I thought..

He was the only person who got success in making my heart jump differently...

He was the first guy who got success to make his place in my heart without even talking to me.

I don't know why Rani phuppo did that! How will she feel if someone creat problems in her daughter's alliance? If her own daughter faced something like this? But I don't want anyone to face this pain, even her daughter too.. This is really heart breaking.... It's not easy for me to see Faraz with someone else. We never talked, never meet properly, never shared our feelings in words... But I developed a bind with him....

I picked my mobile from the other side of bed and watched his DP, which was showing...

I didn't have any idea what Rani phuppo said to Faraz and his family that he was asking me to believe on him! Since many days he was just asking to believe me...

"I do believe on you Faraz, but I don't believe on my fate, I never got what I wanted, so how could I get Faraz...

"Shaffo...."

"Ji bhaiii" I yelled back from my room in the reply of bhai's call

"Come here"

"Coming" placing back the mobile phone on bed I made my way to Bilal and Hamdan bhai's room. I was feeling the urge of crying after Faraz's new D. P, But I control myself and plastered a well pretend smile on my face.

"Ji bhai" entering the room I said and he shifted his gaze from his Computer screen to me.

"Shifa make me a cup of tea" I nodded and went to the kitchen, where mummy was working.

"Do you need anything?" she asked me after paying a quick glance and I shook my head while picking the sauce pan.

"Hamdan bhai wants tea, so I'm making the same for him" placing the pan on flame I said while pouring water in that.

"Shifa what happened to you beta? Tell me if you have any problem..." Mumma said and I shook my head without looking at her.

"Look at me." When I was placing back the jars of sugar and tea leaves, mummy said while cupping my face with both hands and I looked up

"Beta I'm your mother, I can understand this much that my daughter is tensed due to something. Tell what's wrong Shifa?" Mummy asked and I smiled ofcourse a fake one..

"ohho mummy.... Why you want a topic to take stress? Everything is fine" I said and kissed her cheek

"Sure?" she asked and I nodded with a smile again face but we'll pretended one...

"My princess" Pecking my forehead mummy said and I heard a door bell sound.

"Who has come at this time?" Mummy mumbled and looking at me.

"Affi, she has to come" I said and went to open the door.

"Assalamualaikum Aunty" Afifa come to kitchen with me and greeted mummy

"Waalaikumas salam dear, how are you and everyone in your home?" Passing a glass of juice to Afifa Mummy asked and I pour the tea in cup. I marched towards Hamdan bhai's Room and Afifa followed me..

"Ohhoo... Madam How do you come here today? Is everything fine?" Hamdan bhai Asked to Afifa and she looked at him with dropped Jaw.

"Excuse me Bhai... I always come to your home but your sister don't come to my home usually" Afifa asserted and I glared rolled on my eyes on her statement

"Bhai your tea" I placed the cup on table and grabbed her hand before pulling her toward the door but we both stopped in between by bhai's call.

"Afifa"

"Yeah bhai" She said

"Go something with this girl, she is becoming so much silent day by day?" Hamdan bhai Said and Afifa smiled, I don't know why?

"Hamdan bhai why you love Shifa this much? Anas bhai don't love me like this" Afifa asked to bhai and he smiled looking at me.

"Isme Anas ki koi galti nhi hai... Agar uski behen Shifa jesi hoti to woh bhi ese hi pyar karta tumhe, but us Bechare ko to behen ke naam par ek pareshani mili hain" I laughed on that.. That was the a real laugh not an acting

(It's not Anas's fault... If he got a sister like Shifa then he definitely love his sister, but that poor guy got a problem in the form of a sister)

"Hamdan bhai, you are very bad, ill never talk to you" Afifa said and I was still laughing as handan bhai was doing

"And you, Shifa you are lucky to get a brother like Hamdan bhai that's why he loves you so much, otherwise not even real brothers love their sisters like this." Affi spit out and my smile dropped as so Hamdan bhai's

"What you have said Afifa?" Bhai enquired with surprised expression on his face and I glared her.

"Bhai.. Am I saying wrong?" she asked and we both were watching her silently

"None of the real brother loves his sister so much that you do" She mask the whole situation and bhai nodded with a small smile.

THIRD PERSON'S POV:

In Shifa's Room...

"Affi think at least once before saying anything" Shifa scolded her for eighth time.

"Sorry yaar" giving the diaries to Shifa Afifa said and Shifa nodded then placed the diaries on the cupboard

"Shifa tell me what you want to do now? Will you talk to Faraz bhai?" Afifa asked and Shifa sat down on bed in front of Afifa

"I don't know" She mumbled and her eyes started shining due to the precence of tears in her eyes

"Shifa you are crying for Faraz bhai but you are doing nothing, yaar talk to him for once." Afifa said and placed her hand on shifa's shoulder.

"Afifa I don't know why I started liking Faraz... I did a big mistake. I shouldn't do that, I should control myself" She blamed herself and two tears rolled down from her eyes.

"Stop it Shifa, You are not doing anything wrong." Afifa said and Shifa closed her eyes to flew down the tears in her eyes.

"Afifa, Faraz is engaged now, and I can't do anything. If papa got to know about me and Faraz he will say that I am doing what mummy did" Shifa stated and Afifa sighed.

"Shifa talk to Faraz bhai for once."

"Affi I even don't know if Faraz have mutual feelings or not? It shouldn't be like this that I call him to confess my love and he said that he never think anything about me but he was changing his dp of someone else or just randomly. If he also have some feelings for me then why he haven't try to talk to me?" Shifa shared her doubts and Afifa shrugged

"Shifa maybe Faraz bhai is also thinking the same that's why he is not initiating the talk" Afifa said and Shifa smiled sadly

"Whatever it is, I can just pray now that in some ways t..." Shifa's sentence cutter off in between when Afifa's mobile started ringing. That was the call from her mother and very next moment Afifa left for her home

=============

"Papaaa pleaseeeeee" Bilal requested and Anwar smiled while raising his left eyebrow.

"Papa you are the best papa of this world please.. Please..." Holding Anwar's hand Bilal again requested and Maryam laughed on that.

"Suniye.. Don't you think your son is buttering you" Maryam said while arranging the dinner and Bilal saw his mother with wide eyes.

"Mummy that's not fair.. Its cheating, you take Shifa aapi's side, even you say to papa to send her for trips and in my case you are saying that I'm buttering papa!" Bilal showed his disappointment and Shifa looked at Maryam then Anwar.

"I'm not sayi..." Maryam was saying something when Shifa cutted her off

"But evenafter mummy's requests I never went anywhere, unlike you... You are lucky that you go everywhere with Hamdan bhai and from School outings, but I don't go anywhere except Nani Ammi's home and Afifa's home..." saying that Shifa moved towards the kitchen to bring Salad and Maryam felt bad for her only daughter. Anwar also felt bad for her but he thought that it would be good for Shifa to don't give her freedom so that she couldn't took any wrong step in her life.

"Papa let me go for school trip, its only for 10 days" Bilal's request again gain attraction of his parents. In the time being Shifa placed salad and water bottle and everyone started having their dinner.

"Hamdan bhai you say to papa to send me please..." Bilal requested and Anwar smiled.

"Fine... Go, but after that you have to study hard. Deal?" Anwar said with a smile and Bilal hugged his father happily

"Done.. Done.. Love you papa you are the best papa of this world" Bilal said and Anwar caressed his hair.

Shifa lifted her gaze and saw the scene...

'Why I don't have Father's love in my destiny?' She asked to herself and again bowed her head to took the next bite.

"Papa have have you remember last year?" Hamdan asked and Anwar shrugged slightly.

"About what?" Anwar asked to Hamdan and smiled when he taste potato rice.

"Umm... Thankfully today you make this very tasty! Otherwise I never like potato rice made by you" Anwar said to Maryam and she had two different feelings, first was happiness and second was anger.

"Usually You don't praise my cooking, but if I am not good with a single dish then you are making me realise about that" Maryam complained and Anwar made his brows furrowed.

"What am I doing right now? Begum I'm praising your cooking right now, today you made this very well." Anwar said and Shifa smiled.

"Shifa made this, not me.." Maryam said with a smile. Anwar glanced at Shifa and nodded then again continued his meel.

"Hmm.. You were saying something Hamdan" Anwar made him remember

"Papa I was saying that last year I asked you to send Shifa for picnic from school, but you didn't got agreed, and now you are agree to send Bilal out of Delhi that too for 10 days... That's not fair papa" Hamdan said and got a deadly glare from Anwar.

"Focus on your meal, don't teach me what is fair and what is not" He got a scolding from his father.

"Its okay bhai, don't make me remember that..." Shifa said in whispered to Hamdan who was sitting next to her and having his dinner in same plate.

"Don't be sad Shaffo"

"I'm fine bhai, I'm not sad" Shifa said half-heartedly. Anwar was noticing the conversation of both brother sister duo

"Its good that you are not sad, otherwise I was thinking that I'll bring you ice-cream after dinner to make your mode happy... But you are not sad.. So no need" Shrugging his shoulders Hamdan said and Shifa smiled..

"No... Bhai.. See I'm very sad.. Enough sad that only one ice-cream can't make my mood good" Shifa said while giggling and tried to made a fake sad face but Hamdan chuckled on that and pulled her cheek.

"Bhaiiiii" She almost yelled.

"Stop it you both, have dinner" Anwar scolded both and they nodded silently.

"Mumma, I think your mobile is ringing" Shifa said and Maryam looked at her then pay attention to the voice of ringtone..

"Yeah.." Saying that Maryam was going to made herself stand but Shifa stopped her.

"Mumma you have your dinner, I'm bringing your mobile." Shifa said before going to the bedroom of her parents.

"Papa.. Its your mobile, Musa uncle is calling" Shifa said to Anwar while passing him mobile.

"Why Musa is calling at this time?" Anwar mumbled but received the call

"Hello"

"Waalaikumas Salam"

"Really?"

"Masha allah, its a good news"

"So when they people are coming?"

Anwar was talking to Musa but Shifa and Maryam was watching him, and his expressions. Anwar was looking relaxed, he had a satisfactory smile on his face which was giving a new hope to Shifa because that was Musa's call, who was the mama (maternal uncle) of Faraz.
