Holding a mug of tea along with some sandwiches, Adnaan entered into the room with cat steps. Sara and Fayra both were sleeping peacefully. Placing the mug on table he sat down on the bed, just beside Sara. Removing her hair lock from her face he tucked them behind the ear before kissing her cheek and jaw bone, his fingers comb her hair softly and pushed them back which disturbed her slumber.

"Have breakfast, and get ready today you've an appointment with doctor" He whispered and Sara open her eyes to found her husband leaning over her and the next kiss was waiting for her which land on her forehead making her heart skipped two beats.

"Today, I'm very happy" Adnaan whispered near her face, and kissed her temple one more time. The Sleepy Sara was unable to do anything an she was taking a good time to understand his actions.

"Last night I'd a dream, that you and are going somewhere together, and everyone is present at airport to see off us" Adnaan smiled at her and she sat down on the bed.

"Stop dreaming and come back to reality" Saying that she passed a file to him.

"What is this?" Adnaan asked with a smile, he was only focusing on Fayra.

"Divorce papers"

"Sara are you mad? This is marriage not a game. How can you even think to break it?"

"Yes... Its not a game, play it whenever you want and leave it whenever you want" Sara snapped.

"Sara meri sirf yahi galti hai ki mujhe jo nazar aaya mene us par bharosa kar liya, lekin main bhi kya karta? Wo log mujhe yahi sab dikha rahe the. Lekin jo bhi hua, main tujh se bohot Mohabbat karta hu"

(Sara I've made only one mistake by trusting what I see, and what could I do when they were portraying that in front of my eyes? But I love you so much)

"Adnaan, Mohabbat to nazarandaaz karne ka naam hota hai, jo dikhe us par bharosa karne ka nahi"

(Adnaan, love is all about ignoring the flaws not about the believing what you're seeing)

"Itne waqt se Nazarandaaz hi to kr raha tha yaar, Qaleel ka ghar aana, uski calls aana, usna tere liye gifts Lana, tera mujh par shak karna.. Sab kuch to nazarandaaz kar rha tha, lekin itni badi cheez kese nazarandaaz kar deta?" Adnaan throw the divorce papers on the floor while stepped towards Sara and asked.

(I was ignoring Qaleel's visits to our home, his calls, his gifts, your doubts on me and everything for a long time. But how could I ignore such a big thing?)

"I don't care about anything... Just close this chapter. I can't live as your wife" Sara glare at him and Adnaan shook his head "Sara please" He cupped her face with both hands.

"Mar jaunga tere bina" He whispered and for her shock a tear jumped out from his eye

(I'll die without you)

"Tum bohot selfish ho, tumhe kuch nahi hoga... Bas tum mujhse aur meri zindagi se dur chale jao" Sara was holding her breath because she knew if she would breath in, it will come out as a loud sob, which could address her weakness.

(Nothing will happen to you, you're very selfish. You just go away from me and my life)

"Sara please... You're my heart and Fayra... She is my heartbeat... How will I live without you yaar... Please Sara... I love you"

"Ad.. Adnaan please... Go away from my life" Sara pushed his hands away while turning her back to him.

Adnaan went out from the room and run downstairs, everyone was gathered on the dining table for breakfast.

"Ammi Abbu... Ye ladki Pagal ho gyi hai, divorce ki baat rahi hai... Aap log kuch samjhaiye ise..." Adnaan said loudly, his breath was uneven, eyes were holding two tears along with a treasure of emotions.

(Ammi Abbu, this girl has lost her mind, she is talking about divorce)

"Badi Ammi... You talk to her... She always respect you..." Adnaan held the hand of Momina like he use to do in childhood. But unfortunately it wasn't childhood where all of his demands were fulfilled by elders.

"Adnaan get ready for office" Rashid ordered him so that he could get out of his shocked state "Bade abbu at least you talk to her... Please bade abbu"

"Maizah aapi at least you help me. Have you remember when everyone was angry with you and Anzala bhai, I was the first to take stand for you. I didn't think weather you'd commit any sin or not... I supported you as you're my sister,... Please Maizah Aapi... Sara is very stubborn but she will understand if you convince her" Maizah was unable to see her brother's condition, wiping her tears she stepped to the kitchen and cried out.

"Main Mar jaunga uske bina..." This time Adnaan yelled out of frustration, because no one was coming forward to help him and he was helpless.

(I'll die without her)

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

After three days.

Rizwi Mansion was silent! Everyone was present but there was no noise! Even innocent kids could sense something wrong in the home so they were also silent instead of playing and running all around. No birds sang their evening song.

How could they sing happy songs when they were already aware that two lovers were going to be apart...

Sara was silently sitting in the hall of Rizwi Mansion, holding the file of divorce papers in her left hand and carrying her daughter in her left arm.

"Why aren't you sleeping baby" Sara whispered looking towards her daughter and those fragile naturally red lips trembled before squealing. Putting back the file on the sofa Sara embraced her daughter with full of love. She started caressing her back but the squeals were not decreasing.

Maybe the small girl knew that her parents were going to separate their paths. "Why my baby is crying?" Sara mumbled, and anyone could feel the pain in her voice. "Why her mother is crying?" She looked up to found Maizah standing there.

"I... I'm not crying" mumbling that Sara tried to show herself normal but her eyes drop two tears as her brain was gushed with memories.

Memories: Pleasant as well as harsh...

"Give her to me" Maizah open her arms to took her niece and Sara gave Fayra to Maizah.

"Let's go, your Danish bhai is waiting for you," Maizah whispered to the little girl who was crying in her arms and went to her room but not before giving a hug to Sara.

Every movement was striking in her brain. She was silently remembering the moment when she held Adnaan's hand for the first time while walking in the park. She could still feel his warm hands against her palm but suddenly a voice echoed in her brain

'Nikal Jao mere Ghar se Aur meri Zindagi see

(Get out from my home and life)

Lifting the file she somehow managed to open that and took a deep breath while wiping her tears.

"I can live without him and I can raise my daughter without him" That was the statement of a confident Sara. With a marathon beating heart.

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

Life wasn't anything problematic for him but for few years all those events happened which he never wanted to take place in his life. Closeness with Mansi wasn't a good idea for him which eventually brought devastation to his life. Not only his life but to Sara's life too. Marriage with Sara was a turning point for him, before marriage he had only one feeling towards Sara which was hatred, but after marriage, they both travelled a whole new world, which was holding jealousy, anger, hatred, love happiness, joy and in the end guilt and sorrow.

"I wanna die... I'm feeling to have no right to live" Closing his eyes he muttered and clenched his hair in fists. "I have destroyed my heaven with my own hands." He added and lift his head when a hand grabbed his shoulder. That was no one else but Anzala and Afnaan was standing beside him.

"Yes. You don't have the right to live. You haven't only destroyed your life but Sara's too" After listening to those words from his cousin brother, Adnaan was beyond panic. "Adnaan bhai, I know we both always hated Sara. But still, she doesn't deserve all these things to happen with her" Afnaan added in a hushed tone making Adnaan more guilty.

" I still remember when she came home she had a smile on her face, but her eyes were swelled. I felt so irritated after watching her in front of my eyes." Adnaan looked at his brother when he started to describe Sara's return to Rizwi Mansion.

"Danish..."

"Bismaaaaaa...."

Only those two calls were echoing in the environment because their parents were running behind them to make them agree for breakfast.

"Dadi Jaan.." Bisma hides herself behind Momina Rizwi while Maizah was standing in front of her with a glass of milk in her hand.

"Bis.. Bisma.. I'll slap you" Maizah glare at her daughter and she innocently looks at her grandma.

"Danish.. Eat this.. Otherwise, I'll beat you with slipper" Anzala run after his son who went to Aasif and sat down in his lap

"Nana abbu... See papa is again scolding me" Danish made a complaint and Aasif chuckled on the condition of Anzala and Maizah.

"Dil ko khushi milti hai jab in dono ko pareshan hote huye dekhti hu... In dono ne bhi to hame kitna sataya hai Bachpan main... Ab pata chal raha hoga Hume kesa lagta tha.." Gul Bano said lightheartedly and Anzala huffed.

(I feel so happy to see them in this condition, they both have troubled us a lot in their childhood. Now they are tasting their own medicines)

"Hamare peeche to aap sab the, aur bachane wale sirf ek Dada Abbu aur Dadi Ammi the, lekin in dono ko bachane ke liye to aap sab ki puri fooj hai" Momina and Gul Bano laughed at that but Aasif only smiled at Maizah's condition.

(Y'all were behind us, only our grandparents were there to save us, but here they both have an army to save them)

In between all the commotion, Afnaan's gaze went towards the door and he smack his forehead.

''What an unpleasant day... Subah subah kese kese log ghr aa gaye" He said with irritation and every gaze went to the door

"Sara.." Aasif was the first who stood up from his place when noticed Sara entering in with her suitcase.

"What a surprise.. You people didn't even inform us before coming" Gul Bano expressed her happiness.

"Where is Adnaan?" Rashid asked when noticed Sara alone.

"Gul Hamari bahu Pehli baar ghar aayi hai. Kuch to intezaam karo..." Aasif said happily after taking steps towards Sara who was not only his daughter-in-law but niece too.

(Gul our daughter-in-law is coming for the first time, do some arrangements)

"Mamu Jaan.." Sara's eyes dropped two tears and the happy commotion of the home was converted into silence.

"Main aaj bahu ban kar nhi, beti ban kar aayi hu... Sar chhupane ki jagah mil sakti hai is ghar me?" mumbling that Sara's eyes dropped two more tears and Aasif was numb as so all the others.

(Today, I'm not here as your daughter-in-law but as your niece, may I get shelter in this home?)

"Kya hua hai beta?" Rashid came forward with that question and Sara cried out.

(what happened beta?)

"Agar papa zinda hote to main yaha nahi aati... Lekin wo to mujhe akela chhod kar chale gaye... Ab main kaha jaaun? Aap ke ghar me jagah mil sakti hai aapki yateem bhanji ko?" Sara asked looking towards her both maternal uncles. Aasif was beyond shock, he wasn't in condition to ask, say or understand anything but Rashid took a step towards Sara

(I would never come here if Papa was alive, but he left me alone... Where would I go now? May your orphan niece get some space in your home?)

"Jab tak main zinda hu tum yateem nahi ho... Batao kya hua hai?" Placing his rough hand on her head he said everything in his manly voice and Sara sobbed.

(You're not an orphan ill I'm alive... Tell me what happened?)

"Mamu sahab..." She muttered in a defeated tone as felt that fatherly touch on her head. She wasn't in the condition of saying anything.

"Adnaan ne kya kara hai? Aur wo kahan hai?" Aasif asked stepping ahead and Sara sobbed.

(What has Adnan done? And where is he?)

"Mamu jaan... Kya main is ghar me aapki bhanji ban kar nahi reh sakti?" Sara asked Aasif and he took Sara in a side hug.

(Mamu jaan can't I live in this home as your niece?)

"Bhanji Nahi. Beti ban kar raho, magar batao to sahi ki hua kya hai?" Aasif asked and Sara cried out. That wasn't a silent cry but howling which could melt any heart. Rashid also caressed his niece's head and she keeps crying in presence of her father like uncles.

(Not as niece, you can live here as my daughter but at least tell me what happened)

"Why you people were hiding that Sara was living with you... I would make everything fine at that time only" Adnaan complaint, he was helpless to do anything but still, he had regret that might be he could do something if got to know about Sara some time back, but he didn't know, Sara required Rizwis to make her stay with them confidential.

"I don't know what to do now..." Adnaan mumbled again clenching his hair in his fists. "You're already pretty late to do anything" Saying that Anzala made his way back to his chamber, but stopped by Adnaan's call.

"Afnaan You talk to Sara... Maybe she will forgive me. Please I'm begging in front of you" Making himself stand Adnaan pleaded in front of his younger brother and Anzala turned towards him.

"Do you still have guts to stand in front of Sara? Do you still have the courage to ask for forgiveness?"

Adnaan was at the bottom of a pool of guilt after listening to what Anzala said.

"I can't live without Sara and Fayra" Adnaan mumbled and Anzala jerks his head.

"You're still thinking about yourself! At least for now think about Sara. How will she live with you? She hates you and doesn't wanna give you a damn chance, at least try to get forgiveness by doing what she wants... Don't be selfish one more time" Saying that Anzala made his way back to his chamber and Adnaan found wetness in his eyes.

"Even after having a daughter, I Don't deserve the happiness of being a father... How unlucky I'm" He mumbled and close his eyes, Afnaan tried to console him but couldn't.

He wiped his tears and sweat with his handkerchief before making himself stand. Afnaan was watching his brother's tired face which was unshaven for a week or maybe more.

Who could believe he's Same Handsome Dashing man!

"Bhai where are you going?" Afnaan asked

"Home" replying that he stepped ahead. Though he didn't have the guts to face Sara but he run away from the reality.

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

Sitting on the edge of the bed she reading a murder mystery which was at a breath taking moment. Her heart was pondering to know what is hidden in every next page when a head rest in her lap. Without bothering to look at him she pushed his head away from her lap but that stubborn man...

He again placed his head in her lap which she trued to push away but this time it didn't work. Her eyes were still digging in the pages of book but he wanted to gain her attention. Holding her hand he placed that on his head trying to make her remember that she should run her fingers through his hair but she had a better work to do.

"What the hell are you reading?" she ignored the question

"Oo Jangli Billi, listen here." He snapped his fingers but She was lost in the book.

"You're reading The Maidens... So listen In the end, it'll be revealed that Zoe is the killer. Zoe had been lovers with Sebastian since she was 15, and she says that Sebastian only married Mariana for money. After Sebastian's death, Zoe decided to continue with the plan of murdering Mariana" Adnaan summarized the whole novel in a single breath and Sara blinked blankly then looked at the more than half unread novel then shift her eyes to her husband.

"You... Money in the skin of human" Sara yelled and started hitting Adnaan with the same book.

"Pagal ho gayi hai kya... Arey Pagal billi.." Adnaan was laughing while trying to save himself

(What are you doing... You mad cat??)

"Tum na gadhe ho gadhe.." Sara huffed while hitting him last time with the book, she was frustrated but Adnaan was enjoying "jahil, Jangli, ghatiya insaan..." She muttered with anger and Adnaan laughed while pressing his lips

(you're a donkey literally a donkey.)

(Illiterate, uncivilised, cheap man)

"At least make your own mind who am I? A donkey or a man?" He mocked as Sara flipped with her statement in a single minute.

"Tum jahil Bandar ho" She huffed before pushing his head away from her lap and laid down facing opposite to him.

(You're an illiterate monkey?)

"Jangli Billi, you're again baking off from your words... At least decide who you're? Mrs Donkey or Mrs. Monkey?" Adnaan forcefully turned her towards his side but she shower her love with each strike of pillow, Adnaan was way more stronger than her. Pinning her with both hands above her head he crashed his lips on hers making her gasp, she was puzzled what to do? Moan with pleasure or push him away with anger? Taking advantage of her situation he deepen the kiss pouring all his over in it at once, and didn't stop until he got same perky reply from his Jangli Billi

"Ad.. Adnaan" just to intake some air she pushed him away, but he smirked while normalizing his breath.

"By the way, how does it feel to kiss a monkey?" Adnaan winked,

"Yuck.. Adnaan... Tum bohot bure ho..." She made a disgusting face after imagining Adnaan as a money but he laughed and curl his arms around her waist

(You're very bad)

"Jesa bhi hu, ab to isi Bandar ke sath rehna padega." He whispered pulling her in a tight hug and she hid her face in his chest, but she cried out with happiness. She couldn't expect anything else from life, a happy home with a money type husband who shows his love in all different ways.

(No matter how I'm, now you have to live with this money only)

"Why are you crying?"

"these are tears of joy"

"I don't want even tears of joy! You know you look horrible while crying" She giggle after that compliment and he kissed her head.

"You're my money" She muttered while cupping his face

"May this money kiss you hard?"

"Yuck... Adnaan... You're disgusting"

"Itni Mohabbat karti ho us se to maaf kar do na". Momina said after placing her hand on Sara's shoulder. Sitting in the lawn of Rizwi Mansion she was crying since half an hour and Momina was watching her silently

(If you love him so much, you should forgive him)

"Aap ko kya lagta hai mami saheba... Mene use maaf karne ki koshish nhi ki? Jab jab Adnaan mere saamne aata hai main Har bar use maaf karne ki koshish karti hu lekin har baar mujhe wahi yaad aa jata hai jab Adnaan ne mujhe ghar se nikala tha" First time ever Sara shared what was in her heart and Momina embrace her.

(What do you think Aunty, I haven't try to forgive him? Whenever he comes across me, I try to forgive him but every time my mind recall those moments when I was begging him to trust me but he grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the home... I can not forget that"

"Mami Saheba... I don't know what I want? I can't live without him... But I can't live with him" Sara sobbed and Momina caressed her head.

"He loves you"

"But I hate him" Sara replied in a whisper

"So.. It means you're crying for the man whom you hate!" Momina tried to knock that in her head but Sara was determined for divorce. In the time being Maizah also came there with Fayra who was crying without taking even a shot break.

"Why she cries so much?" mumbling that Sara embrace Fayra but she was still crying.

"Give her to Adnaan" Momina advised but Sara shocked her head "No, she is my daughter, I'll handle her" Before Maizah could inform that Adnaan wasn't at home Sara's reply made its way.

"Maizah are you going somewhere?" Momina asked after seeing her ready to go, and she nodded. "Danish has scored maximum in his class, so Anzu is taking him for a treat" Momina nodded and again focused on Crying Fayra.

"Let's go" Anzala arrived with Bisma and Danish, trying not to smile in front of Sara, but his face was showing happiness of his son's achievement.

Both kids run towards the car when Anzala's mobile started ringing. It was Adnaan's call

"Ammi we'll come back late, I've to go to meet an old friend after dinner." Anzala said before receiving the call.

"Yeah Adnaan?"

"What!" Anzala exclaime

"Okay... I.. I'm coming... I'm coming in ten minutes" cutting the call Anzala looked at Maizah and Sara who were holding a single question in thier eyes to know what happened?

"Adnaan... He met an accident. His condition is critical" The news was enough to make Sara's breath hitched and tears alive one more time.
