"Kia horaha hai yahan?" Haniya asked bewildered. Even a blind person could tell that she had heard everything.

(What's going on here?)

"Yeh.. Yeh larki kia baqwas karrahi hai? Biwi? Shohar? YEH SAB KIA HAI AMAN?" Haniya asked clutching her hair.

(What us this girl talking about? Wife? Husband? WHAT IS ALL THIS AMAN?)

"You... You trapped my husband in your trap. You must seduced him into this. YOU BLOODY WITCH" She pointed a finger at Nazish who was standing near the door.

"Tum middle class larkion ke Yahi kaam hote hain. Ameer aadmion ko apne jaal me phasa kar unki family tor deti ho. Niklo yahan se. ABHI" She said grabbing her arm and dragging her out.

(You middle class girls have only one thing to do and that to trap rich guys like Aman and destroy their families. Get out NOW)

"Stop right there. She's my wife and she's not going anywhere." Aman said holding Nazish's hand and pulling her towards her.

"You- you're going to keep her and go against me. YOU'RE ACTUAL WIFE AND THE MOTHER OF YOU'RE GOD DAMN DAUGHTER" She yelled.

"She's also my wife and you need to accept that" he said calmly.

"No. I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANYOTHER WOMAN IN YOUR LIFE. YOU'RE MINE AND MINE ONLY. AND YOU SAY SHE'S YOUR WIFE THEN WHY WAS SHE LIVING HERE LIKE A MAID. HUH?" She yelled making the servants get on high alert in hopes of getting new gossip for the week.

This one question was the one whose answer Aman himself didn't have.

"Because of you. Maybe because I thought I loved you and you loved me but I guess I was wrong." He said holding Nazish close to him.

"Besides if you can have another man in your life that too without marriage then why can't I have another wife" he said going back to his seat and pulling Nazish with him. He sat down pulling Nazish on his lap. Both women were shocked one because of this her secret being revealed and the other because her husband's new found proximity. She tried getting up but his grip on her waist tightened.

"W-what are you talking about?" Haniya asked stuttering. Her face was pale and eyes looking everywhere but him.

"I'm talking about Haris" he said taking the file of her pictures and money tranfering details out of his drawer and throwing it towards her.

Haniya picked the file up and looked through it. While she took everything in Nazish tried planning her escape from this awkward situation. She tried wriggling out of his hold but Hus voice made her freeze.

"Stop wriggling. I'm still not done with you." He whispered in her ears making her freeze on her spot. Her breath hitched and eyes closed involuntarily when she felt his breath seeping through her chiffon dupatta.

"Also here." He said giving Haniya another file.

"W-Whats this?" Haniya asked.

"I'll go check up on Zainab" Nazish said and jolted off his lap the moment his attention diverted to Haniya and without waiting for a response she ran away.

"What are these?" Haniya asked bewildered.
"Are dumb enough to not be able to read. These divorce papers. Signed divorce papers. Now sign them and get out" he said.

"You-you can't do this to me. You said you loved me" she said breaking down.

"That's right I loved you now I don't" he said lighting a cigarette and taking a long drag.

"You can't just undo love Aman. I gave you all I had. I even gave you a child and still you're leaving me. You can't do this to me and Zainab how will I look after her" she rambled clutching her hair tightly.

"Out of all the people I didn't expect you to be the one who had the guts to cheat on Aman Qureshi. You know I dont like cheaters and as far as Zainab is considered you never took care of her then why the sudden care?" He said letting the smoke cloud around his face giving him a more dealier look.

"What about you're mom?" She asked.

"I was putting up with your rude behavior for mom but now I guess its enough" he said throwing the pen at her feet.

"Sign and leave" he said not even looking at her

"I'm taking Zainab with me" she said signing and storming out of the room.

"Zainab stays with me. The papers clearly states Zainab stays with who she wants to" he said as they move closer to get room.

"Why not ask her then" she said and banged the door open. Scaring Zainab and Nazish along with her.

"Zainab come on baby we're leaving"
Haniya said packing zainab's bags.

"Zainab I want to ask you something" he said kneeing down in front of her.

"Yes?" Zainab said.

"Mama and I are splitting. If I ask you who you want to stay with who would you choose?" He asked tried making sense.

" kia matlab?" Zainab asked innocently.
(What do you mean?)

"Zainab beta ab mama papa ek saath nahi reh sakte. Aur ab aapko him dono me se kisi ek ko choose karna hoga" he said trying to make her understand.

(Zainab mama and papa can't stay together anymore. And now you have to choose anyone between us)

"Why? I don't want to choose" she said with tears in her eyes.

"Woh is liye me tumhare baap ko naye biwi mil gaye hai aur porani se dil bhar gaya hai aur ab woh hum dono ko nahi rakh sakta apne saath" Haniya said and grabbed Zainab's arm painfully. Her fake acrylic nails dug into her soft flesh and scratched her arm as she pulled her up from the bed and dragged her to the door.

(Because your father now has a new wife and he's fed up with the old one and now he can't keep both of us)

"Mama mujhe dard horaha hai. Mujhe papa ke saath rehna hai" little Zainab cried and trued stopping her mom.

(Mama you're hurting me. I want to stay with papa)

"Ruk jao Haniya. Jab Zainab ne keh diya hai ke usse mere saath rehna hai tu phir tumhe baat samajh kion nahi arahai" Aman forcefully took zainab's hand out of her hold and not a second later Zainab ran into Nazish's arms who his her in her warm embrace.

(Stop Haniya. When Zainab said she wants to stay with me then why can't you understand this)

"Choro usse woh meri beti hai. Aur mere hi saath jaye gi" haniya said reaching for Zainab but Nazish his her behind her.

(Leave her she's my daughter)

"Agar woh aapki beti hai tu aap se darts kion hai?" Nazish said standing between Zainab and Haniya.

(If she's your daughter then why is she afraid of you)

"Kia matlab?" Aman asked looking at who had a taunting look in her eyes.

(What do you mean)

"Matlab yeh ke Zainab in ke saath kaheen nahi jaaye gi. Haina Zainab?" She said asking Zainab who at once nodded her head.

(I mean that Zainab is not going anywhere with her. Right Zainab?)

"Mera shohar tu cheen lia tumne ab beti bhi cheeno gi. Me aisa hargiz nahi hone dongi" Haniya said trying to get to Zainab but Nazish stood between them like a wall.

(You stole my husband now you want to steal my daughter also. In won't let this happen)

"Nahi. Aap agar iski maa hoti tu aap ne Zainab ko is haal me na pohncha diya hota" she said pushing Haniya away

(No if you were her mother you wouldn't have made her this miserable)

"What are you saying Naz?" Aman asked.

"I won't let Zainab go with a psycho like her. Her mere presence even in a room filled with people makes Zainab tense how will she survive alone. You might not have noticed it but I've seen how much mental pressure Zainab is under while she's around. I might not be her real mother but I'm still a woman and a child is a child" she said picking Zainab up and walking out of the room leaving the arguing couple behind.

"Naz?" Zainab asked in a low voice.

"Yes baby?" Nazish asked her while sitting on the swing in the garden.

"Are you my other mama? Can you be my mama?" She asked.

"I can but only if you want me to" Nazish said moving back and forth along with the motion of the swing.

"I want you to be my mama." Zainab said looking at her with her big hazel eyes.

"Alright then its final I'm baby zainab's mama" Nazish said kissing her daughter's nose making her giggle.

"I love you..... Mama" Zainab said hugging her mama.

"I love you too... Mama ki jaan" Nazish said hugging her close and kissing her hair.

"What about me?" A deep voice asked from behind.

"Will you be my wife officially?" Aman asked leaning on the back of the swing chair near Nazish's ear.

Nazish's breath once again for the umpneeth time hitched in her throat.

"Was I unofficial before?" She asked after regaining her confidence and watched Zainab go chasing after a cat in the garden.

"No like shifting in my room official" he said just beside her right ear.

"How's that official?" She asked confused and all Aman could do was to look at her amused.

"You really want to know how sharing a room, a bed makes the marriage official" he said biting on her ear lobe. His breath tickling her neck making her pull away. Her face turned red causing chuckle to escape his mouth.

She got up to leave angrily but he caught her hand.

"I know I have been a douche and was rude to you. I know I didn't give you the love and respect you deserved then but now. Now I'm ready to start a fresh. All I need is a chance that's it. Nazish please mujhe maaf kardo aur mujhe ek mauqa dedo. Me wada karta hon I'll prove myself worthy of you." He said with guilt and remorse in his voice. He made his way around the swing and now he stood in front of her. He waited for her to say something anything but she silently studied him.

Please forgive me. Just give me one chance. I promise)

"Theek hai lekin sirf ek chance." She said showing him her forefinger and narrowing her eyes.

(Fine but only one chance)

"Thank you. I promise you won't regret" he said hugging her nuzzling his face in her neck making her heart beat furiously and mind go in s frenzy.

"I'm already regretting it" she thought as she felt his beard tickling her neck.

"Mama, papa" zainab's voice broke their hug which she was grateful for.

"Yes?" They both asked at the same time.

"Can I keep this kitten?" She asked bringing them a white kitten which almost resembled a little fur ball.

"Isn't it cute?" She asked Nazish.

"Of course it is" she said kneeling down in front of her and taking the kitten in her hand.

"Can we keep it? Actually we can" she asked Aman but then didn't even wait for his response.

"I guess we're keeping it then" he said hugging his wife from behind. Her eyes widened and body froze in his hold.

"Thank you. I'll name it snowball" Zainab saud taking the kitten inside and leaving the couple behind.

"Now that everything is done let's get you shifted to my room" he said kissing her cheek making her face red like a tomato.

"Do-do I have to? I can just stay with Zainab like before" she said not being able to control her emotions just by standing next to him how would she control them while being in the same room as him.

"You have to. I would like to have a wife with me all the time" he said dragging her softly in the house to her room to make her pack everything which was not much. Then to his.

After dinner they all retired to their rooms.

"Now that we're alone why dont we start by getting to know each other well. Not much not less. I think this is a good starter" he said seeing how nervous she was.

"Well what do you want to know?" She asked sitting on the bed with good distance between them.

"Anything like your hobbies. Favourite colour etc" he said looking at her who was looking every where but him.

"Um.. Well I like writing and cooking. My favourite colour is red............"

And just like that their night went by with them talking about themselves and anything and everything and at the end they both ended up cuddling eachother in their sleep.......
