"Sara.. Think wisely beta.. If Adnaan is apologising then don't sopil your marriage like this.... I've seen love in his eyes. Beta forgive him and take step forward towards future.. Put dirt on the past."

"Mummy I can't forgive him''

"Beta we humans are offspring of baba Aadam and Amma Hauwa (Adam and eve).... Its in our flesh and bones to make mistakes... Adnaan had did wrong but he was distracted from correct path. Now he is trying to mend his way, then we all are not letting him come out of the past. "

" What do you mean.. Its not his fault but mine that I'm not giving him a chance?" Sara expressed her anger through words.

"No... Its not your mistake but try to understand beta... Everyone do some mistakes and one who forgive is always better... Allah forgive people but we people don't! Why?"

"Mummy If papa would do something like that you with, would you forget everything?" Sara asked and her mother keep looking at her for a moment.

"Beta shadi me ladki ko hi adjust karna padta hai..."

(Dear only girl has to adjust in marriage)

"Mujhe esi shadi ki zarurat hi nahi hai jisme adjust karna pade, I'm very well educated I can bear my expenses by my own!" That was a proud statement of Sara but she was angry

(I don't need to stay in a marriage in which I have to adjust)

"Tum aaj kal ki self dependent ladkiyon ko kyu lagta hai ki Shadi sirf financially support ke liye hoti hai? Shadi emotional support ke liye bhi zaruri hoti hai... Shadi Life ki har situation me ek dusre ke sath khade hone ka Naam hai"

(Why you self dependent girls feel that we do Marriage for financial support? But in reality we don't marry to a man just for financial support but for emotional support also. Marriage means a promise to stay together in every situation)

"Aese insaan se main kya emotional support ki ummed karu jo mere emotional breakdown ke liye responsibile hai?" Sara asserted making her mother silent for a couple of minutes.

(How can I expect emotional support from a man who is responsible for my emotional break down?)

"Will you happily live without him?" Her mother asked but this time Sara was answerless because her heart beat with a wake of pain.

"Yes" she replied in small voice while fluttering her lashes to gulp the sea of tears appeared in her eyes and her mother smiled.

"Tumhare aasu jawab de rahe hain kitna pyaar karti ho us se... Aur jise hum pyaar karte hain na use maaf bhi kar dete hain.." Sara wiped her small tear with the back of her finger.

(Your tears are answering that you love him so much, and we should forgive our love once)

"I won't forgive him.. Never" She mumbled and her mother sigh.

"Take rest I'm going to prepare lunch." Saying that Rushda made her way out from the room and Sara think about her mother's words, but she wasn't ready to give another chance to Adnaan.

To divert her mind she made her way towards kitchen to help her mother but stopped a step away when listen the conversation of her mother and Adnaan.

"Phuppo Jaan.. I'm sorry please you talk to Sara"

"I'm trying to convince her but I don't have answer of her questions, she is not wrong on her place, no wife will tolerate her husband's past affair."

"Phuppo Jaan, I hated Sara.. I never wanted to marry her... I never took that engagement seriously because I was sure that I'll break this engagement before marriage... Sara wasn't a part of my life at that time So I never felt that I was cheating on her"

"She also didn't want to marry you, but still she never get involved with any other guy, do you know the best guy of her batch sent his proposal to our home... But we refused because she was engaged with you... Don't you think she could also cheat on you... But she didn't Adnaan.. My daughter didn't think about any other guy except you. Now I don't have words o convince her."

"Phuppo Jaan.. I love her... I can't live without her. Only few hours without her were like devastation for me. I am accepting my mistakes... I did wrong with Sara but now I love her so much"

Sara was shocked to listen that, she always wanted to know whether Adnaan loves her or not but she didn't know she would got to know like that.

"Phuppo Jaan.. Please.. I won't disappoint you again.. Please send her back with me." Adnaan pleaded and Rushda held her forehead.

"Adnaan I'm blood pressure is already high, please leave me alone for some time. On one hand Sara is not listening to me one the other hand you're making me tensed moreover that Nabeel... You three will kill me" Rushda said with rage and sat down on nearby chair holding her head. Sara felt guilty to give new stress to her mother.

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

Nabeel wasn't at home since morning, moreover he wasn't receiving anyone's call.

"Phuppo Jaan don't worry, he will come back, he is not a child now" Adnaan tried to console her but got a glare in reply.

"Tum log bade ho gaye ho yehi to sari pareshani hai, bachhe hote to do thappad laga kar tum logo ko theek kar deti... Jab se bade hue ho hum bado ka Jeena mushkil kar diya hai" Adnaan silently listen scolding from her aunty

(You people have grown up that is the real problem. If you were children then I would mend your mind by slapping you, but you'll have made our life harder after growing up)

"Mummy... Nabeel bhai will come back, you please have dinner and take your medicines" Sara requested and Her mother shook her head.

"Phuppo Jaan you've to take medicines... Don't delay your meal, please" Adnaan pleaded and looked towards Sara.

"Sara Bring food for her."

"Apni zaban se mera naam mat lo.." Sara gritted her teeth after glaring Adnaan.

(Don't utter my name with your dirty tongue)

"Ab tum dono shuru ho jao.." Rushda said angrily, she was feeling light tinkling pain in her left half but she was trying not to show herself sick in front of Sara, so silently tolerating that pain.

(Now you both get started)

Sara serve food for three of them and at the same time Nabeel arrived.

"Thank God you're back.. Where were you Nabeel?" His mother asked and he stay silent but glare Sara with no reason.

Sitting down for dinner he served food for himself but his every act was full of anger which was visible throw placing the glass on table with loud thud and throwing bottles and jars from table.

"Phuppo Jaan I'm going" Adnaan said leaving his dinner in between and Sara ignored.

"Jab gussa thanda ho jaye to us khubsurat waqt ke baare me bhi soch lena jo humne ek Saath guzara hai... Mansi to apne maqsad me kaamyab ho gayi.. Agal kar diya usne tumhe mujhse." Whispering in Sara's ear Adnaan took steps towards main door but Sara was surprised to hear that.

(After relaxing just think about the good time we've spent together, Mansi has get success in her mission by our separation)

" Adnaan take her with you" Nabeel said very loudly which stopped Adnaan to took step further.

"Come on, take you luggage and go back to your home" Nabeel ordered Sara in dominant voice but Sara shook her head

"I won't go with him" She replied confidently

"Nabeel she will come back after few day, let her stay here" Adnaan said in slow voice and Nabeel throw the plate on the floor with rage.

"No, I'm not letting her stay here, take her back with yourself right now." Nabeel shouted.

"Who are you to not giving her permission for staying here?" Rushada asked to Nabeel and he glare at Sara.

"Mummy don't test my patience anymore. Have you asked your dear daughter what is this her new drama of leaving home?" Nabeel shouted.

"Nabeel calm down..." Adnaan came forward and placed his hand on his shoulder but Nabeel just pushed his hand away.

"What calm down? First she left your home and come here then she left this home too! What is this drama? What did she wanted to prove?" Nabeel shouted and Sara's eyes dropped two tears.

"I didn't want to prove anything, I just wanted to leave all of you in peace.." Sara shouted back and Nabeel huffed, he was already in rage because he had a fight with someone few hours ago and then Saa was a soft target for him to drew out his rage and frustration

" If you wanted to leave us in peace then never come here after arguing with Adnaan, don't make your life difficult by ruining your marriage" Nabeel shouted on Sara and she stood up with a jolt while placing her both Hands on table.

"I'm not a burden on you.. I'm staying with my mother and...." Sara was shouting when "You need a lesson.." Nabeel came forward while raising his hand to slap Sara.

"Hath lagane ki himmat mat kar lena... Hath tood dunga.." Holding Nabeel's hand in air Adnaan shouted and Sara slowly opened her eyes which were tightly shut just a sec ago.

(Don't you dare to touch her... I'll break your hand)

"Tu mera hath todega.. Bada hu main tujhse... Aur tu hota kon hai him dono ke baach me aane wala?" Nabeel shouted on Adnaan while grabbing his collar and Adnaan also grabbed his collar

(I'm elder than you... Will you break my hand? And who are you to come between both of us?)

"Ab ye sirf teri behen nhi hai, meri Biwi hai... Hath lagana to dur ki baat hai, aakh utha kar dekhne se pehle bhi do baar soch lena." Adnaan shouted and the commotion was suddenly stopped between when the middle aged lady stood up from her place, her face wsd looking yellow and lips were white, like her body had no blood.

(Now she's not only your sisters, but my wife too... Beating her is a far away thing, think twice before even throwing a sharp glance at her)

"Wi.. Will you all stop it?" She couldn't shout as her condition wasn't allowing her

"Mummy.. Are you alright?" Sara asked suddenly but her mother made her way to her room without replying, Sara followed her hurriedly as so Adnaan and Nabeel too

"Mummy..."

"Leave me alone" She muttered while caressing her own left arm.

"Mummy... What happened to you?" Sara whispered sitting beside her mother on the bed.

"Phuppo Jaan..." Adnaan took step towards bed and Sara cried after looking at her mother.

"Call doctor.... Please call the doctor... Her hands are turning cold.." Sara cried looking at her mother and Nabeel hurriedly call the doctor.

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

"She is fine for now, but don't give her stress." Saying that Doctor passed a prescription which Adnaan held and led towards the door with doctor. Nabeel throw a glare on Sara before going to his room and Sara felt herself like a victim.

"Mummy... Mummy..." Sara kissed the forehead of her mother and she open her eyes to found her crying daughter.

"Sara..."

"Yeah mummy.."

"Beta go back to you home... Nabeel won't let you live here peacefully" She mumbled in weak voice and Sara cried.

"Mummy... I.. Don't want to leave you in this condition"

"I live alone in even worsen condition.." Sara cried on her mother's statement.

"Phuppo Jaan's medicines" Adnaan came back and passed some medicines to Sara to gave her mother.

"Adnaan.."

"Yes" He sat down and helped Rushda to sat down on bed.

"Sara.."

"Yeah mummy.."

"You both love one another, Don't let your past blackmail your present to ruin a beautiful future" Adnaan looked towards Sara and held his hand in front of her.

"Let's go back to our home.." Adnaan mumbled and Sara's eyes dropped two crystal ball.

"Just because of you mummy... Only because of your happiness" mumbling that Sara grabbed Adnaan's hand and her bother smiled weakly.

"Adnaan never dare to cheat on my daughter, your past should not be repeated."

"Phuppo Jaan I left that relationship three years back and I swear in regretting for those three months since three years. I won't get involved in any relationship outside this marriage" Adnaan said seriously and Sara's eyes dropped two tears.

"I'm sorry yaar, forgive me.. Please" He pleaded in front of Sara and she looked away.

"Sara.. Forgive him"

"Should we go now?" Sara asked to Adnaan without looking at him and he nodded with a small smile.

"Phuppo Jaan you also come with us, you'll feel better after having some change in environment... And I know a very good cardiologist in Hyderabad, we'll consult him for your treatment" Adnaan Said politely and Sara was surprised that why she didn't think about taking her mother with herself, but Rushda Shook her head in negative.

"Beti ke ghar jana achha nhi lagta"

(It's not feel good to stay in daughter's home)

"To bete ke ghar me reh lijiye ga.. Main bhi to aapka beta hu na.. Wo hi nalayaq beta jise aap Bachpan se bohot pyaar karti hain" Adnaan said lovingly because he really love his aunty just likana mother.

(Then stay in your son's home, and I'm also your same son whom you've love since childhood)

"No.. I'm.."

"Mummy I'm packing your clothes, there is no room for if and but" Sara stood up from bed and Adnaan nodded.

"Sara, pack all the medical records, so that we'll consult to that doctor" Sara act as if her didn't listen anything but she did same.

And three of them start their journey towards Hyderabad, Sara didn't forgive Adnaan but sometimes life give unexpected twist and turns which one have to accept willingly or unwillingly
