The morning was cloudless with a faint light breeze stirring the leaves, it seemed impossible that a mighty thing like this should ever topple, but here it was. By this time the sun was lazily trying to come above the horizon spreading yellow and red rays clumsily.

Birds were busy in their morning Chores of spreading melodies to make environment more peaceful.

But peace was offended with two hearts!

Holding a devastated not bloomed parterre in his heart, he took a deep breath while lifting his hand to rang to doorbell but didn't found guts in himself. So he dialed the last number in his call log and after four or five long rings the call received by a sleepy person.

"Hel-lo"

"Nabeel, Open the door... I'm here" Adnaan said and Nabeel hummed in sleepy voice. He came to unlock the Door, which was surprisingly already open.

"Where is Sara?" That was the first question Adnaan asked to Nabeel.

"At least come in first"

Ignoring his mother's instruction, last night Nabeel informed Adnaan about Sara's arrival, and without wasting time Adnaan was there.

"Saraaaa" Nabeel loudly call his sister while knocking the door of his mother's bedroom, but instead of Sara his mother came out from the room in half sleeping state.

"Phuppo Jaan.. Where is Sara?" Asked the tired Adnaan who was searching his wife everywhere for many hours.

"Adnaan what is this?" For a new moments Adnaan was silent because he was feeling ashamed, he was shocked too that Sara revealed everything in front of her mother and brother.

"Phuppo Jaan... I know I did incorrect... But.. I'm regretting for what I have done in past.. I'll not repeat my past mistakes... You please call Sara.. I'll explain her everything" Adnaan pleaded and his voice was holding pain which was real not any kind of act.

"It wasn't expected from you" Rushda (Sara's mother) said with disappointment, her soft voice was holding a power to made Adnaan guilty.

"Phuppo Jaan.. I'm sorry... Please forgive me and Call Sara." He utter and Rushda slightly glare him, but that was true, Adnaan was feeling guilty, he hated Sara more than anyone but unknowingly he started loving her more than everyone. Only thought of living without Sara was making his heart surrounded by a darkness without any hope of good life.

"Wait here... I'm awaking Sara" before turning to go to Sara's room Rushda said with a hint of rudeness, as she was angry with Adnaan and he nodded before looking towards Nabeel.

"Thanks bro... Thanks for letting me know about Sara.. Otherwise.." Adnaan said formally and Nabeel placed his hand on Adnaan's arm.

"It's okay, but don't cheat on her in future.. '' Adnaan nodded his head on Nabeel's instruction while mumbling "Never''

"Have your breakfast or not?" Nabeel asked after watching Adnaan's dull face, Adnaan was silent for a moment but then shook his head silently. He was empty since 24 hours.

"Talk to Sara, then we'll have breakfast together" Adnaan nodded while sitting down resting his back as he was tired after sleepless night.

"Nabeel I think Sara is on terrace, go and summon her" Rushda said while coming out from Sara's room and Nabeel furrows with confusion.

"Mummy terrace is locked... Check in your room she was sleeping with you." Nabeel replied and his mother furrowed

"She was sleeping in my room but when I woke up she wasn't in room. So I think she went to her room but she is not in her room too" Nabeel's face became dull as he knew last night he had hurt Sara moreover, in morning the main door was unlocked that means someone had left home.

"So where is Sara?" Mumbling that Adnaan looked at his aunty and Nabeel who were already holding same question in their eyes. They call her but her mobile was still switched off. After searching in whole house they got to know that Sara's luggage was also missing.

"Last night I scolded her... And I think she left home..." Nabeel mumbled and Adnaan was shocked.

''Nabeel she was already tensed.. Why you scolded her?"

"Mummy aapko hamesha Sara ki pareshaniyan hi kyu dikhti hain? Meri pareshani nhi dikhti kya?" Nabeel shouted out of frustration and his mother felt helpless as she couldn't do anything, arguing with Nabeel was useless

(Mummy why do you always see Sara's problems? Can't you see my problems?)

"Where Sara could go?" Adnaan asked worriedly and Nabeel show his anger by throwing something on floor and sat down on the nearby chair.

"Ye naya drama hai is ladki ka.." Nabeel mumbled holding his forehead

(This is now her new drama)

"Phuppo Jaan where will we find her?" Adnaan asked

"I think I know where she might be!" Sara's mother mumbled and tears appeared in her eyes, Nabeel and Adnaan both stood up hurriedly.

"Let's go phuppo Jaan.."

"But where?" Nabeel asked but both of them encountered sharp gaze from Rushda.

"Stay here... My daughter is facing all these things due to you two.. No need to come with me.." Rushda shouted on both and they silently listen that.

"phuppo Jaan.. Lemme come with you.." Adnaan requested to got a glare

"Adnaan you don't even show your face to Sara until I tell you.. Stay here silently"

<><><><><><>

Just two minutes back of Adnaan's arrival Sara left her home and took taxi to go the most painful yet peaceful place for her. Holding the suitcase with one hand she stepped down from taxi and covered her head with head with dupatta before taking heavy steps further.

Wiping her tears she smiled faintly then giving her weight on suitcase she sat down on the unworked ground. There were many men and women around her but their presence won't going to effect her because they all were sleeping peacefully inside their graves.

"Papa... Aap apni beti ko bhul gaye na.." She complained in hushed tone while placing her hand on the edge of that semi solid grave.

(Papa, you've forget your daughter.)

"Don't you miss me now? You use to say that you don't feel good when I cry... But what now?" She muttered in between the sobs and close her eyes.

"Papa Do you know what Adnaan and Nabeel bhai is doing with me? you shouldn't go leaving me alone... If you would be alive then I never get agree to marry Adnaan.. Or at least I would be stronger than this situation.." She muttered with sobs and close her eyes 

'Come on Sara get up, you're my strong girl. Come on beta.. Don't give up' Sara's eyes dropped two tears when she remembered the day when ten years old Sara fell down during race and her father was cheering her standing in audience. Somehow Sara continued that race but she came last which made her sad.

'Falling once doesn't mean you are weak, getting up after falling down proves you strong... And you're my strong girl' Sara sobbed in between crying and wiped her tears.

" But now I'm not that strong, because you're not with me" Sara mumbled while resting her head on suitcase, she was crying silently when a hand caressed her head.

"Mujhe pta tha tum yaha hogi.." She looked up to found her mother standing there.

(I already knew you must be here.)

"How do you get to knock?" Sara asked with amazement and her mother sat down beside her.

"Abhi bhi aadat nhi gayi apne papa se shikayat karne ki?"

(You still have habit to complaint in front of your father)

And both the mother daughter crying hugging one another.

"Let's go home.." Sara shook her head on her mother's order but she forcefully took Sara back.

........

Adnaan was standing hiding himself behind the door of Nabeel's room and watching Sara going towards her mother's bedroom, As per the instructions he didn't come in front of Sara.

"Sara beta what is this childish act? How can you even think to leave home?" Rushda asked lovingly while making Sara sat down on bed but she didn't reply about Nabeel's behaviour

"I'm sorry but I didn't want to give you another problem... You're already in trouble.." She muttered but she mother pulled her in a hug.

"Don't think like this... Its your home you don't have to think in this way" Sara sighed sadly while wrapping her arms around her mother.

"Mummy Why aren't you taking financial help from Mamu Jaan and Mamu sahab? They won't deny to help you, they are your brothers" Sara suggested but her mother smiled sadly while breaking the hug.

"Agar abbu ji zinda hote to unse madad le leti.. Magar bhaiyon se maagna achha nahi lagta"

(If my father would be alive, I would definitely seek help from him, but I'm not liking to ask help from my brothers)

"Why mummy?" Sara asked confused. Aasif Rizwi and Rashid Rizwi both love their sister so much and their financial status was very hight.

"Beta ladki ka haq ya to uske baap par hota hai ya shohor par, in dono se pyaar se ya zid kar ke apni baat manwa sakte hain... Bhaiyo se nhi!" Sara was silent for a few more minutes, because last night she felt this situation.

(Dear a Girl has right on either her father or her husband, You can make your demands fulfilled by them in one way or another. But you can't do this with brothers)

"Mummy I also have some money... I don't spend my salary... You can take that" Sara said seriously and her smiled then caressed her head lovingly

"It seems my little girl is grown up now" Sara smiled sadly but her mother refused to take money from her. "Take rest" She ordered sara before leaving the room, being tired and sleepy Sara didn't take much time to sleep but even in sleeping state Sara was remembering Mansi's words! It was like a horrible experience for her, she didn't wanted to trust whatever Mansi had told her but there wasn't any room left for doubt when she started telling me about Adnaan, Sara wasn't sure only about that birthmark, but after checking that she realised that Mansi was correct.

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

"Sara..." Two lips landed exactly in between the sharp brows of hers.

"Umm.." She wiggles in sleeping state before adjusting her head little bit.

"Jangli Billi.. Wake up.. I'm sorry yaar." He muttered near her ear and placed his lips on her temple one more time, and this time Sara open her eyes. Adnaan was sitting beside her on the bed placing his one hand on her arm and other hand was busy in running his finger through her hair, for a few seconds she was feeling like a dream so without thinking much she again close her eyes but then felt that the softness of his fingers was real moreover the natural fragrance of that frame was already her favourite, which she could recognise in sleeping state too.

"What are you doing here?" She suddenly sat down on bed pushing his hand away.

"Sara.. I'm sorry.."

"What would you do if I were cheating on you? Would you forgive me?" She asked with anger but Adnaan was silent.

"Answer me.." She asserted with venom in her voice.

"Sara don't spoil this relationship due to my past. I know I should tell you everything beforehand but I was afraid due to your this reaction.. Our relationship has been improving slowly so I thought to hide this from you... I didn't want to creat new problems" Adnaan said and held Sara's hand but she pulled her hand from his grip.

"You shouldn't tell me all these things, but you shouldn't do all these things."

"Sara.. Please.. I am literally pleading.. Let's go back to home. Yaar it was past.. I won't do anything like that in future.. I promise" Adnaan again held her hand but she pushed his hands away.

"I don't trust you anymore. Once a deceiver always a deceiver" Sara looked away and Adnaan took step down from bed.

"Take some time... Right now you're in anger... And making decisions in rage is not correct..." Saying that Adnaan stepped out from the room and Sara controlled herself to cry one more time.
