Sara was completely silent after the birth of her daughter, she wasn't talking to anyone just answering the questions raised by other family members. Rushda was planning to come but she was sick for the last few days, so Sara advised her mother to stay at home.

"Sara, do you wanna eat something?" Momina Asked after sitting beside her and Sara shook her head.

"Why are you so silent beta?" She asked but Sara stay silent. "Sara" Momina caressed Sara's hair and a silent sob left from her lips. She turned her side and hide her face in the pillow.

"Mami Saheba"

"Yeah beta?"

"Leave me alone, please"

"Sara at least share with me what do you want... Do you want divorce or wanna to forgive Adnaan?" Gul Bano asked like a mother not as a mother-in-law.

"I don't know... I just want to stay alone. Please Mami Saheba... Leave me alone" Momina left Sara Alone in the room.

Honestly, she wasn't alone because the memories of Adnaan's togetherness was still with her.

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

Peeking inside the big room through the glass window he smiled after witnessing his tiny daughter who was napping in a cosy bed. Sara was discharged from the hospital on the second day of delivery, she was taking rest at home but the 8 days old baby was still in NICU.

"Excuse me, Mr Rizwi" Adnaan turned to that voice and nodded

"Yes"

"Dr Mehra is free, you can meet him" Adnaan nodded at the information provided by the nurse. He was specifically called by the doctor but the reason was unknown to him.

Adnaan passed a smile while taking his seat in front of the Pediatrician.

"Doctor, when do I can take my daughter home?" That was the first question of Adnaan.

"She is fragile but very active. she doesn't need these artificial caring units but good nursing which only a mother can provide. You can take the baby with you but keep in mind that she is too sensitive. You have to take proper care of her."

"Sure." Adnaan was at the cliff of his happiness. After some paperwork, he was standing outside the NICU where a nurse handed over the baby to him.

"Fayra" Adnaan whispered while kissing her head and the newborn open her eyes in response to her name as if she already knew her father called her only.

"Let's go to the home and surprise everyone" Again kissing her head Adnaan whispered.

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

Handling the delicate tiny figure in his arms he stepped into the home.

"See who is Here!" Adnaan announced, grabbing the attention of the whole Rizwi Family who was sitting in the hall, arranging sweets to distribute among neighbours, relatives and friends. Only Anzala, Afnaan and kids weren't present there.

The newborn brings a new smile to each face. Everyone started adorning the beauty of that underweight baby and Adnaan was lost in the land of dreams. He was dreaming to have a beautiful life with Sara and Fayra.

"She is Fayra Adnaan Rizwi" Adnaan Announced. Everyone looked at him with scepticism.

"Have you even asked Sara about the name?" Aasif asked with a hint of anger in his voice, according to him only Sara had the right to decide to choose a name for her daughter.

Adnaan smiled and shook his head. "No, but I know she will suggest this name only" everyone blinked in disbelief. "But don't tell Sara about this name otherwise that Jangli Billi will change my daughter's name" without removing his gaze from his daughter's face Adnaan informed everyone. Fayra who was sleeping a moment back, suddenly, open her eyes.

"Hey, papa's little princess... Let's go to Mumma" Adnaan whispered and for the first time, Fayra smiled.

"Masha Allah" Adnaan muttered kissing her head and stepped towards Sara's room.

"What is this badi ammi?" Maizah blinked blankly, everyone was amazed to see the father-daughter connection. Moreover, Adnaan give a name to his daughter about which he was already confident that Sara would also select the same name.

"You and your brother are unpredictable. Momina shrugged before starting to arrange the sweets.

" So as your son" Maizah replied while rolling her eyes but got a glare from her mother-in-law.

''Kya hai badi ammi? Aap hameha saas kyu ban jaati hain? Don't glare at me, I'm not afraid of your glare." Maizah said in her babbling style and Momina huffed.

(What's wrong Badi ammi? Why do you always behave like a mother-in-law?)

"Kabhi kabhi to mujhe lagta hai main iski saas nahi hu, ye meri Saas hai. Gul dekh Rahi ho kese jawab deti hai tumhari beti!"

(Sometimes I feel like I'm not her mother-in-law but she is mine. Gul are you noticing the way of your daughter's answering)

"Bhabhi she is your Daughter-in-law... Handle her at your own, don't drag me in this matter!" Gul Bano save herself from this debate and walked to her room.

"Aasif are you fine?" Rashid asked when found Aasif standing like a statue.

"Bhai Sahab kuch samaj nhi aa Raha kya Karna chahiye?" Muttering it Aasif looked at Maizah who was busy at work along with Momina.

(I'm puzzled what should I do?)

After seeing Adnaan's love towards Fayra, Aasif remembered his love for Maizah. He knows how much a father loves his daughter, he had a fear since Maizah's childhood that she would go away from him after her marriage. Fortunately, that didn't happen, but he could feel that fear.

Adnaan's mistakes were not forgivable but separating his daughter from him was an extreme level of penalty. Aasif didn't want to do so.

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

Sara was sleeping in her room, the dim light environment was comfortable enough for her to provide a good sleep. Adnaan didn't want to disturb her, sitting on the couch he started caressing Fayra's head with his first finger and soon she was again sleeping in his father's arms. He peck her forehead and made her laid beside Sara.

"My sleeping beauty and my sleeping cutie" he whispered before placing a pillow beside Fayra but she started crying. Sara open her eyes, for a sec she was mystified to see the little doll beside herself by then Adnaan's grin made her realise the reality.

A smile flashed on her dull lips, she was missing her baby. "She must be hungry" Adnaan whispered with a smile, Sara sat down on the bed and lift her daughter, making sure to ignore Adnaan completely. That hurt him hard, the smile present on his lips suddenly disappeared.

"Sara"

"Go away." Embracing her crying daughter, Sara let out her anger. But Adnaan sat down beside her.

"Meri Ek galti itni badi ho gayi ki tu Hamara rishta hi bhul gayi?" Adnaan cupped her face and turned it towards himself.

(My one mistake has become so big that you forgot our relationship?)

''Hamara rishta to tum bhule the Adnaan... At least Main guilty nahi hu ki mene is rishte ko apna 100% nahi diya." Sara wriggled her head to free it from his grip but couldn't. Her Both hands were busy with picking her daughter so she couldn't afford to use her hand.  

(Our relationship was forgotten by you, Adnaan... At least I am not guilty that I did not give my 100% to this relationship.)

"Don't you love me now?" He asked and Sara close her eyes for a sec then looked at him. Both eyes met and Hearts skipped a beat. Two tears rolled out of her eyes, which he wiped away.

"Sara, I know you still love me, think about our relationship for our daughter's sake" resting his forehead on hers, Adnaan whispered and both close their eyes.

"She is only my daughter, not yours. And I don't love you" still with shut eyes Sara muttered and Adnaan pecked her forehead.

"Say this after looking in my eyes" Sara open her eyes and both of them forgot to blink. "I... I" Sara cried out while looking away but Adnaan turned her face towards himself one more time.

"Say it, I know you love me" He smiled with hope in his eyes and voice.

"I hate you Adnaan... Don't come in front of me again. I'll go away from you and this home in a few days... Don't you dare to come near me again" she cried, still hugging her daughter

"Sara... I won't be able to live long without you and our daughter." This time Adnaan had tears in his eyes.

"Don't worry, you're very selfish. Someone's presence or absence won't affect you. Now let me and my daughter take rest"

"Sara "

"Adnaan please go away"

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

After a few hours.

A knock on the door disturbed Sara's sleep. "Sara beta" She rubbed her eyes and looked at her daughter, she was sleeping peacefully wrapped in a baby pink blanket.

"Come in Mamu Jaan" After sitting on the bed, Sara grant permission to Aasif, who came into the room with a small smile. He was happy to become grandfather but ashamed due to what Adnaan did, moreover, No one was happy with the bitter end of this relationship.

It was going to be the first divorce of the Rizwi Family.

"Hamari Chhoti shehzadi kya kar rahi gain?" Even after seeing the little one was sleeping, Aasif asked and sat down beside his granddaughter.

(What our little princess is doing?)

"What she can do except crying?" Sara said in her dull voice, but Aasif smiled. At the same time, Maizah came into the room with a glass of turmeric milk which Sara didn't want to drink but what she could do?

"Have you decided any name?" Aasif asked while lifting his granddaughter and Sara nodded. Maizah was standing with curiosity to know if Adnaan was correct with his guess o not?

"Fayra" Sara smiled and Maizah was surprised as so was Aasif.

"Masha Allah...it is a beautiful and unique name" Sara smiled half-heartedly and let out a cold sigh while recalling the story behind this name.

"Sara, please forgive Adnaan. Maybe you don't need him but Fayra will need her father" Maizah requested and Sara shook her head.

"I can't" she muttered with a lower gaze.

"Mamu Jaan, I... I want divorce. Please do talk to the lawyer for the paperwork and formalities."

"Is this your last decision?" Maizah asked and Sara nodded trying to maintain a good confidence on her face but her eyes betrayed her again by dropping two tears which she wiped in no time.

In the time being Fayra started crying and the discussion was over right there.

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

After 10 Days

The moving car stopped at the traffic signal. Anzala was continually talking to Afnaan about the deal they were doing to finalise soon, Adnaan was also a part of that discussion but sitting on the back passenger seat, he was lost in his thoughts.

"Adnaan bhai what do you think?" Afnaan paid a quick glance at him.

"I think she still loves me but her stub..." Adnaan unthough out but stopped in between when the realisation knocks his head. Anzala and Afnaan were discussing business, not about his and Sara's relationship.

Afnaan looked at Anzala for his outcome, sometimes Anzala becomes angry at Afnaan when he doesn't pay attention to business matters but this situation was different. Anzala doesn't show any kind of disappointment.

Anzala was understanding that a man need to grow his business and earn money to provide financial stability to his family but for Adnaan there was no point in growing business when his family life was almost at the end.

Anzala was still angry with Adnaan but after seeing his love for Fayra, a soft corner was developed in his heart.

Howbeit, the heart which should be melt, was still steady with its decision.

"Afnaan drop me here only" on Adnaan's demand the car was stopped at a few meters distance to Rizwi Mansion.

"Anzala bhai, can't we do something for them? I can't see them in this way" when Adnaan hopped out of the car, Afnaan shared with Anzala.

"He did wrong with Sara, now it's his punishment" Anzala sighed

"He loves Sara, please do something Anzala bhai, I can't see my brother in this condition. You talk to Sara, she won't deny your request"

''I won't force Sara to change her decision, and no girl will forgive her husband after facing what Sara has faced due to Adnaan" This time Anzala was angry so Afnaan preferred to drop the discussion.

On the other hand, Adnaan stepped in a Bakery to grab some Chocolate Mousse and muffins as Sara loves sweets. His shopping list didn't stop there because he bought two floral bracelets for her.

He wanted to remind Sara about the good time they had spent together.

Taking everything he walked to his home and surprisingly, the hall of Rizwi Mansion was empty. "Where is everyone?" Mumbling that he stepped towards Sara's room and an outcry stunned him. She was Fayra.

The little crying baby of Rizwi family.

All the Rizwis we're gathered in Sara's room including Danish and Bisma in order to hush her but the little girl was lifting whole home on her little head. "What happened?" Adnaan asked Maizah who just handed over Fayra to Momina.

"She is crying... Don't know why?"

"Fayra... Fayra see here.." Little Danish was shaking a rattle for her with left hand and with other hand he was fixing his specs on the nose which was slipping down to his nose tip.

"Sara at least you stop crying" Gul Bano slightly scolded Sara because she was crying because of no good reason.

"Mami Jaan what happened to my daughter? Why she is crying?" Sara mumbled while crying and Momina sighed

"Come on beta, it's alright!"

In between all the conversations Adnaan open his arms to took Fayra and suddenly everything was changed, the air became light for everyone as Fayra stopped crying. Sara blinked blankly but Adnaan smiled. "Papa's fairy was missing papa?" Adnaan whispered before kissing her cheek and the little girl blinked her eyes. "Papa was also missing you my doll. Why you're behaving like a bad girl? You're troubling everyone... That's not fair na?" Adnaan whispered and his little girl was blinking in response. Ignoring the presence of everyone Adnaan walked towards his room.

"Hum Pagal the kya jo itni deer se itni mehnat kar rahe the?" Anzala blinked at Maizah who shrugged looking towards Sara who was standing with hanging jaw.

(Are we all the fools?)

Fayra was a cry baby, she uses to cry almost every time excluding sleeping and suckling, which makes Sara tired like hell, even after every effort Sara always fails to hush Fayra but only Adnaan's closeness made her calm.

"No one can replace a father" Mumbling that Aasif left the room and one by one everyone left from there leaving Sara alone. First time ever she was feeling inferiority complex. Fayra was giving preference to Adnaan over her, this was a kind of burden on her heart.

"She is only my daughter... Not his... I won't let him snatch away my daughter" With madly beating heart she stepped toward Adnaan's room and the scene made her surprise.

Adnaan was lying down propped up by a pillow and placing Fayra's tummy down on his chest so they’re face-to-face. "Fayra to papa ki pari hai... My little princess." Adnaan was whispering and Fayra was only blinking.

"You're only my doll, aren't you?" Sara huffed while lifting her leg to step in the room she wanted to take Farya from Adnaan when a hand grabbed her shoulder.

"Sara." he was Anzala.

"Ji Anzala bhai?"

"Don't snatch away a father's love from Fayra. whatever happened wasn't right, but he loves Fayra..." Anzala patted Sara's cheek like a big brother after giving lesson and she sobbed.

"Anzala bhai you too? Are you also changing your side?"

"I'm still with you, but Adnaan was failed to prove himself as a good husband but at least he's a better father. And I know you can understand the bond between a daughter and father." Anzala went away after saying that and Sara only saw the father dauther due, who were spending their time happily. Adnaan was so lost in Fayra that didn't realise when Anzala and Sara came near the already open door of his room. He was smiling madly while touching his daughter's little nose with his finger and kissing her nose.

Sara came back to her room with many thoughts in her mind she was remembering how her father use to love her, it was something similar to Adnaan and Fayra's bond. Few memories of her father brought a wave of pain, resulting, her eyes drop few tears. After almost half an she witnessed Adnaan entering in the room, first she glare at him which he smoothly ignored and hand over Fayra to her.

"She sleeps just like you" Adnaan laid down the sleeping Fayra on the bed and Sara tried to glare at him but a confusion took over her expressions.

"You sleep like this, with parted lips" He answered her unasked question and Sara looked away. "Can't we make everything fine?" Sitting beside her he asked but she ignored him until he held her hand and slipped the floral bracelet in her wrist.

"I love you Jangli Billi"

Sara looked towards her wrist and a tear rolled out again, it wasn't only floral band but a recollection of sweet memory. She wiped her tears and remove the bracelet from her hand just drop it on the floor. Adnaan wanted to talk to her further but he was out of words, he kissed Fayra's forehead and cheeks before watching Sara. He kissed the corner of her mouth before going back. Sara was not ready to believe what just happened but then she looked at Fayra who was sleeping peacefully.

" Itne dard mene sahe, itni takleef mene uthai, lekin tum ho Adnaan ki beti... mera ek bhi feature nhi hai tum me!" Sara whispered looking at Fayra who was Mini Adnaan. Not a single feature was left to resembles him.

(I have face all the problems, I'd forebear all the pain but you're Adnaan's daughter, you don't resembles a single feature of me.)

" Sara" a knock on the door pushed her to look up.

"Yeah Mamu Jaan" Aasif entered in the room with heavy steps and passed a black colored file. He was looking pale and disheartened. Sara lift her hand to grab the file but she was clueless what was that. "Your Divorce papers" Aasif muttered and Sara's hands shivered while lifting those papers like it was not paper but rock.

"I.. I have talk to Gul's brother." Aasif said in hushed tone and Sara tried to show herself normal while nodding in response. "I'll send Adnaan to Kanpur After divorce, I know it's impossible for you two to live in same home after divorce" after this information Aasif turned to go and Sara took a deep breath, pressing her lower lip between her teeth she blinked her eyes to gulp the tears.

"Sara Beta, will you fulfil my one request" Aasif turned to her just a step back from the door and Sara nodded.

"Adnaan ko Fayra se kabhi kabhi milne dena... Sirf kabhi kabhi" Sara saw helplessness in those aged eyes and he went away from the room. Sara suppressed a sob and tucked her hair lock behind the ear while throwing herself on the bed.

(Sometimes, Let Adnaan meet Fayra. Only sometimes not frequently)
