When both are added to the fragile balance of a relationship, which will prevail, and what memories will be left standing? Explore a journey where passion and resentment collide, revealing the raw essence of human connection. Will love’s warmth triumph, or will hate’s shadow cast over everything, leaving only a lingering aftertaste?
Lifting his hand to rand the door bell he was just going to push that but the door was snap open making his surprised.
"Dining table par groceries ki list rakhi hui hai, thodi deer me le aana" Saying that Sara stepped out of home. Adnaan was again surprised on her behaviour
(There is a list of groceries on dining table, bring them after some time)
"Tu kaha jaa rahi hai" He asked when Sara took another step further, holding a plate in her hand.
(Where are you going?)
“Aree haann.. Main to batana bhul hi gayi thi.. Maine tumhare liye sandwiches banaye hain, dining table pr hi rakhe hain, khaa lena" Saying that Sara stepped towards next door and rang the door bell, soon the door was opened by Neha and she entered in holding a big grin on her face but Adnaan was again shocked on her behaviour.
(Ohh yeah... I forgot to tell you that I've made sandwiches for you. They are placed on dining table)
"Assalamualaikum khala.. See I've make sandwiches" Sara chirped showing the plate and the lady smiled while gesturing Sara to sit besides her.
"Neha, make three cups of tea for three of us" Sara ordered in friendly way and Neha giggled before marching towards kitchen.
"Adnaan must be coming back from office"
"He already arrived" Sara replied to the old lady and she looked towards her with a surprise expression on her face.
"Beta you should spend time with your husband but you're sitting here with us" the lady advised and Sara smiled.
"It's okay khala. I like to spend my time with you" Sara replied with a polite note
'I don't want to waste my time with that Bandar.' she said in her heart in the time being Neha bring tea and they all started having their evening snacks.
"Where is Sameer bhai aur bhabhi?" Sara asked looking here there
"Bhabhi wanted to go for shopping, so bhai took her with himself and now they will come back after having dinner" Neha replied and Sara smiled.
'How lucky' Only those words come to her tongue but she stopped herself to let them jump out from her mouth.
"Sara why don't you go anywhere with Adnaan" The lady questioned while having tea but Sara smiled.
"Khala kahi Jaane ka dil hi nahi chahta.. Bas jab mummy ki yaad aati hai to aap ke paas aa jati hu" Sara replied with a smile but reality was only known by her.
(Aunty I don't feel to go anywhere, but when I miss my mummy I come to meet you)
In the time being Adnaan arrives there to give a set of keys to Sara, as he was going to buy groceries.
"Adnaan, beta take Sara with yourself." The old lady said and they both looked towards each other.
"Khala I don't wanna go anywhere" Sara refused smoothly but the old lady gave her a disappointing look. "Sara... Go and get ready." The lady ordered and Sara nodded half heartedly, she couldn't refuse to the motherlike lady. Adnaan also stepped towards door but stopped by a call "Adnaan wait for a few minutes, I have to talk to you" Adnaan was stopped and nodded "Ji khala kahiye" (yeah aunty say) sitting in front of the middle aged lady Adnaan said in respectful manner.
"Adnaan ye kya chal raha hai Sara aur tumhare beech..." Adnaan was shocked to hear that.
(Adnaan what you have done with Sara?)
"Khala What she has told you?" Adnaan asked trying to control his anger, he couldn't tolerate that his wife shared their personal matters with neighbours.
"Wo kuch batati hi nahi hai... Lekin itna to samajh aa raha hai ki wo tumhare sath khush nahi hai"
( She does not tell anything ... but it is understood that she is not happy with you)
"Khala I don't know what should I do to make her happy! But.. Everything will be fine" Adnaan said with a hint of smile on is lips but he knew that making everything fine wasn't easy, nor he wanted to beg in front of Sara to forget everything.
"Adnaan, beta Show your care towards her, a wife doesn't want anything but her husband's love" Adnaan nodded before making himself stand and went to his home, Sara was ready to go wearing a simple black trouser with yellow floral print kurti, her double colour dupatta was hanging on both shoulders.
"Let's go" Adnaan said and she nodded without bothering to look at him.
================
"We're supposed to go for groceries!" Sara said when the taxi was stopped near a famous spot of The city of Nizams
"Had you prepared for dinner?" Adnaan asked while paying to taxi driver and Sara slightly glare him.
"I'm a human, not robot." She replied rudely as she came back from school and after that she prepared evening snacks.
"Tu Ladne ke liye Hamesha tayyar rehti hai!" He muttered with frustration but Stepped ahead, Sara silently followed him.
(You're always ready to argue)
"Why we're here?" Asked the frustrated Sara while walking on that road; full of hustle bustle.
"It's been a long time I haven't visit this place..."Adnaan replied and Sara rolled her eyes. "Have you ever visited Charminar?" He asked and Sara again glare him.
"For the first time I've come to Hyderabad after marriage... How its possible that I've visited Charminar before too" She replied with anger and took long steps to maintain a good distance between Adnaan but he sighed and grabbed her hand.
"Haath chhodo mera" She yelled and took few steps further making Adnaan shocked.
(leave my hand)
"Sun too.. Kaha jaa rahi hai?" Saying that Adnaan followed Sara who stopped near a small jewellery stall.
(At least listen, where are ou going?)
"How much does it cost?" She asked after picking up a pair of metallic jhumka.
"Pack this!" Adnaan told the sells man without even listening about rate but Sara glare him.
"I don't want to buy this." Saying that Sara stepped further and Adnaan smacked his forehead.
"Mujhe hi ise yaha laane ka doora pada tha.. Ab bhugatna to padega" He cursed himself and groaned
(Only I have to bring her here with me, now I've to bear her)
"Main chala jaata hu, tu khud hi puri market ghum le..." Adnaan held Sara's hand from behind making her startled.
(I leaving, you roam the whole market by yourself)
"Haan to dafa ho jao yaha se.. Mera peechha kyu kar rahe ho? Jaha jaati hu muh utha kar aa jaate ho! Ye tum har ek minute me haath kyu pakad lete ho? Haath chhodo mera.." Sara said with anger and Adnaan huffed while glaring her but before he could say anything.
(So get lost from here! Why are you following me? Why do you grab my hand every now and then? Leave it..)
"What are you doing with this girl? I'm noticing since few minutes you're troubling her." An unknown man asked to Adnaan and he was shocked.
"Beta is he bothering you?" another man asked to Sara and she nodded with a pool of innocence in her eyes.
"Yes uncle he is bothering me since three months... He has made my life worsen than hell." Sara huffed while saying that and glaring Adnaan, a man grabbed Adnaan from his collar.
"Don't you have sisters in your home? Why are you bothering a girl like this?" Adnaan was shocked when he listen the threatening of an unknown man.
" I am not bothering her she is my...." Adnaan was saying in his defence but a man was very angry and it seems like he was going to draw out his anger and frustration on Adnaan without any reason related to Sara.
"Brother... Stay away from my matter.. She is..." Adnaan was saying angrily but Sara didn't let him clear all the situation.
"Uncle pareshan kar diya hai isne mujhe... Kabhi kabhi to dil chahta hai Iski Ammi aur behno ko batau unka beta kesa hai" Saying that Sara to the old man stepped ahead with a smirk and Adnaan was gawking at her.
(Uncle I'm tired of him! Sometimes I want to complain about his behaviour to his mother and sisters)
"Areeee... Saraaaaa... Kaha jaa rahi hai Jangli Billi" Adnaan yelled when some three or four men were already becoming social workers to protect an unknown girl from her own husband.
(Heeyyyy Saraaa... Where are you going?)
"Such a shameless man you're..."
"Biwi hai wo meri.." pushing the hand of a man away from his collar Adnaan replied with full anger. But the man was not ready to listen anything.
(She is my wife.)
" Who is she to you?" a man asked with confusion and Adnaan looked towards Sara was was laughing whole heartedly standing at a distance shook his head.
"Wo Pagal chudail meri biwi hai.. Aap log bekaar me hungama kar rahe hain Ooo chudail... Jangli billi... Idhar aa..." Adnaan almost pleaded and she realised that poor guy was in trouble.
(That idiot is my wife.. You people are creating a scene without any reason... Hey you.. Bloody witch, wild cat come here..)
"Is this man your husband?" The very old man asked and Sara nodded innocently and Adnaan glared her.
"If he is your husband then why were you asking help?" A man asked and Sara narrow her eyes.
"Excuse me brother.. When did I asked for help?" Sara asked; her arms were wrapped on her chest confidently.
"But beta you said that he is troubling you since three months." the old man said with confusion and Sara glare Adnaan. "Yes uncle... He is making my life hell since three months" Sara huffed
"Haan jese meri zindagi to jannat ban gai hai na.." Adnaan replied and the gathered men looked towards each other.
(As if my life is converted into heaven)
"Jannat ke khwab na dekho, Tum jese shetaan ko to jahannum me bhi entry nhi milegi.." Sara said while controlling herself to hit Adnaan hard but they both forgot that they were standing on the middle of road.
(Don't dream about heaven, a devil such as you won't even get entry in hell)
" Ye to pakka miya biwi hi hain... " Saying that while smacking his forehead the old man took step further, anyone could understand from the way of their argument that they were husband wife so there wasn't any room for doubt about their relationship
(It's clear that they're husband wife)
"Aaj to tune mujhe Marwa hi diya tha'' Saying that Adnaan took step towards ahead and Sara laughed happily.
(You've almost planned my murder today)
" Why are you laughing? Idiot, mental.. Silly" He asked the first part with anger but only mumbled the last part, which Sara listened
"You know what Adnaan." She said controlling herself to laugh more and he looked towards her with frustration, but his heart skipped a beat.
"What?" that question was full of frustration.
"Mujhe bohot maza aaya.." She laughed while walking through that hustle bustle Lane and Adnaan forgot every bit of anger because Sara's beautiful face was looking more beautiful when she was laughing whole heartedly. She stopped at a shop to check out amazing collection of daily wear clothes but watching the price tag she place back the kurta, she didn't had enough money to spend on clothes as she hadn't get her first salary yet.. She moved to other section of shop but Adnaan picked that kurta.
"Pack this" he said on billing counter and looked towards Sara, who was watching some other clothes. She bought few clothes for herself with her money. They both roam in that market but Sara still make sure not to talk to Adnaan.
She was walking happily when her wrist was caught by his hand. Before she could glare him, he tilt his head to left side, gesturing towards a restaurant. Sara glare him but he stepped in without bothering to pay attention towards her anger.
"Kuch order karna hai ya nahi?" He asked when she didn't even pick the menu card for some ten minutes and in reply she shook her head with stubbornness.
(Do you have to order something or not?)
"Go to hell" He mumbled and ordered dinner. In no time the table was covered with mouth watering dishes including chicken tandoori, kabab, and paneer tikka masala along with rumali roti.
"Umm.. Yummy" He moaned with pleasure when very first bite hit his taste buds and Sara's stomach caterwaul.
"Khana hai?"
(wanna eat?)
She think for a moment about Adnaan's offer.
'No Sara.. Don't sacrifice with your ego' her mind said arrogantly.
'Thoda mere baare me bhi soch lo' Suddenly she listened the voice of her stomach and pressed her lips together.
(Think little bit about me too)
"Tumhari to shakal dekhne ka bhi dil nahi chah raha... Lekin main khane ki be-hurmati nahi kar sakti" Sara huffed with arrogance and serves a good amount of that delicious food for herself, Adnaan rolled his eyes
(I don't wanna even see your face, but I can't disrespect food)
After having dinner they both stepped out from the restaurant and Sara again glare him when she remembered about his closeness with Mansi.
"Oye Jangli Billi" Adnaan held her wrist when she was walking a step ahead.
"What?"
"Tujhse kuch baat karni hai"
(I have to talk to you)
"But I don't want" she replied arrogantly.
"Phuppo Jaan ka phone aaya tha aaj" Sara was surprised to hear that and she turned to saw him.
(Paternal Aunty has called me today)
"What mummy was saying?" Sara asked seriously.
"Tujhe yaad kar rahi hai wo... Next weekend unse milne chali ja, even stay with her for a few days" Adnaan suggested and Sara smirked
(She is missing you, go to meet her this upcoming weekend, even stay with her for a few days)
"So that you get chance to spend your weekend with your girlfriend" Sara mumbled and nodded.
