Shehnaaz Shah

Zaan and Sayed passed by me informing me that Lala Ammi was calling me in her room. They also informed she wanted to talk when I asked him the reason. As a result I got nervous.

I then searched for Arya like a informal woman. I didnt want to  go there alone. What would I talk with her that too all alone? If it was before it was not a problem for me. But she was my mother-in-law also.

Ehh, where the girl went everytime when I needed her? I sighed in relief as she came into my sight. I quickly ran over her bcz I was already being late.

"Aru come with me." I dragged her along with me didnt wanting to listen her denying.

"Shehnoo Ammi was calling me. I have go. Nahi toh toofan ajayega." She got out of my hold quickly as Taya Ammi would not spare her for being a kaamchor.

"Acha ok kaam katam karke jaldi Lala Ammi k room me ajana. I will be there. And ana jaror." I again gave her a reminder.

After that I made my way to Lala Ammi's room hurriedly. I was late any way. I knocked on her door and entered after hearing her voice.

"Lala Ammi apne bulaya?" I peeked at first. She gestured me to come inside.

"Baito." She patted on the side of the bed next to her.

"Maukahi nahi mila do minute baitke tumse baat karneka. Toh socha tumhe bulalo taki time spend karle hum dono. Disturb toh nahi kia?"

"No no Lala Ammi. I was sitting randomly." I instantly denied.

"I wanted to form our new made relationship with a strong base."

Lala ammi's gave me a remember of Sidharth again uttering new relationship. He would be always a idiot for me. He didnt remeber it was going to be three months of our nikah. But he remembered when he broke up with his girlfriend. I wished I could bang his head on the wall the time he mentioned about his gf.

"Lala Ammi why me?" I asked suddenly as I felt like asking. I glanced up at her only to find her confusing face.

"Mein hi kio Sidharth k liye? I mean Hafsa, Arya aur mein almost same age k hai. Opar se mein sabse choti hu and immature bhi. Then Why u chose me as your daughter-in-law?" I questioned genuinely as I wanted to know.

Was I really suitable for him? Bcz the way our relationship was going after our nikah I doubted that was it ok or not? Maybe I was the one who want able to manage the things. But again he was an idiot. He never gave me a glace of him. So how could I work on our things qithout talking. And right now I dont want to talk to him. My mood, my will.

"Sidharth k liye tumhi kio?" She chuckled. She ran her hand over my head showing a part of love she had for me.

"Bcz u r perfect  Shehnaaz. Muje nahi pata tum ye manthi hu ya nahi, par mere Sidharth k liye tumse acha koyi nahi husaktha. U standed beside him when he needed someone. When his parents didnt have a hint about their son was walking in wrong direction you were there for knocking some senses in him. Being a 16 years old girl u did your best to bring back him in track. U didnt ignore him for being a bad boy, u didnt leave him in his condition and wait to happen the worst with him." I felt into silence after listening her. I wasnt able to run my mind in any other direction as her every words was hiting some unknown emotions inside in me.

"Maybe I m selfish. That's why I fixed your nikah with him. I know u r thousand times better than Sidharth. But I can guarantee u he is better person now. "

What was she saying? Why was she saying these? I knew how Sidharth was? He was the best person as I avoided the fact that he is ignoring me nowadays.

So I beated her off quickly," Lala Ammi u dont have to worry about my thoughts on Sidharth. I believe that he is a very good person." I squeezed her hand assuring her.

I made my mind not to give 100% but to give 200% to this marriage. I didnt want to break the trust Lala ammi showed me. I didnt want to fail in this marriage.

"Lala Ammi u all should give me sometime before nikah. U know na ur son? He is so difficult." I sighed dramatically deliberately as I wanted the serious environment to turn into light. Lala ammi let out a loud laugh and I also joined her.

"Obviously we should. Taki iss time me tum dono ek dusre ko tashan dika kar nikah k liye manzori ko namanzori me badal dete" My mouth remained open in shock after listening her.

"What? Tumhe kia lagtha hai muje pata nahi pata tum dono k bech kia chal raha hai." I kept quiet. I was not getting words to say something more. Thanked to Arya she came just in the time to save me.

Arya Shah

I clicked on my heels to reach at Lala Ammi's room. Arriving there I saw Sidharth was about to enter in the room but something made him stop.

"Lala Ammi why me?Mein hi kio Sidharth k liye? I mean Hafsa, Arya aur mein almost same age k hai. Opar se mein sabse choti hu and immature bhi. Then Why u chose me as your daughter-in-law?" I got to hear and I knew it wasnt going well with Sidharth.

His face paled, but seeing me he comforted himself and next he ran opposite to my direction. I also ran behind him knowing he would take the things in wrong way and stress his mind. Already his mind was running with silly thoughts.

But he was too fast for me. He was out of the house making me sigh defeatedly. So I urgently went to Lala Ammi's room. I enterned in the room and Lala Ammi flashed me a smile.

"Arya! Acha hua tum bhi ayi. I wanted to give u your birthday gift. Wait a minute." She then searched for the gift in cupboard. I wasnt excited a bit for the gift at that moment. I knew it was abnormal of me. But I was really tensed about Sidharth and Shehnaaz that anything couldnt rise excitement in me.

After Lala Ammi gave me my gift, I gave her a quick 'thank u and then I dragged Shehnoo quickly saying loudly, "Shehnoo let's see what Lala Ammi gifted me."

As soon as we stepped out of the room  I stopped her there. "Shehnoo he listened your and Lala Ammi's talks."

"He who? Sidharth?" She guessed. I blinked my eyes.

"What was his impression? Adhi adhuri baat suni haina?" She asked figuring that it was not good from the tension from my face. She took my silency as yes.

"Where is he?" She rubbed her temple.

"Jab mene baat karni chahi bahar nikal gaya." I replied only to hear a sigh.

"Shehnoo mein tum dono k bech bolna toh nahi chahthi thi. I think it is necessary now to let u know. Maybe he was hesitant to face u for his past." It really seemed to me like that.

"What?!" She exclaimed.

"I m not sure."  I slowly stated.

"If it is true I dont know what will I do with him Aru." I heard Shehnoo's faint voice.

Shehnaaz Shah

When Aru let me know about Sidharth probability of worrying about his past, I was blanked for a moment. Why was he dragging the horrible past in his present? And I even didnt know what he was thinking.

Today is the last Roza and tomorrow is Eid. I hoped that the things between us would go well by that time. I was gonna talk with him by night at any cost. As it was Aru's bday there was organized a lil party after Iftaar.

So now I was in my room as I was showing dresses to wear in the party. Hafsa was also there with us.

"Aru I will go with this one. It is final." I picked a dress bcz she was just switching from this to that. She gave me a thumps up.

We heard a knock on door, then Sidharth peecked in. "Aru idhar aa." As he called Aru went outside. When Aru wasnt there Hafsa got started with her venom," From when he became so decent that he started to knock before dashing in this room. Lagtha hai biwi ka asar hai."

I was already in a bad state of mind. So her taunting made my temper raised. "Hafsa what's your problem? When he behave like a decent one u have problem and when he becomes indecent then u also have a problem. Aur ye kiya laga raha hai biwi biwi. Mein kia uski biwi hu tere liye sirf? Kiya ye yaad nahi raha mein teri bhi kuch lagthi hu."

Yesterday she also told me she thought I wasnt going to talk to her bcz we got hitched together. Like am I not related to her? We were sisters and me being his wife didnt change anything between us.

"Why u cant anything bad against ur husbamd anyomre?" She was always like this. She never left a chance of bad mouthing about him.

"Yeah. Why not? He is my husband and dont let out of your mind that I m his wife. Aur meri ek advice bhi kisi biwi k samne uske shauher ki burayi na karna kabhi." I left the room in agony.

After coming out I saw Arya taking a box, rapped in gift paper, from Sidharth which I was guessing a gift maybe.

"I m sorry for forgetting your birthday."What?! Him forgetting his favourite cousin's bday? How was that possible?

Arya gave him a attitude look but Aru being aru she almost snatched the gift immediately. "It is ok."

I hid behind a pillar so that I didnt cone in their site. After Sidherth went away from there I appeared in front of Aru. I raised my eyes gesturing what was the whole scene.

"Later." Muttering she went inside the room. I thought he was only forgetting me but no how he forgot Aru's bday also. I must had to give him a rimender of everything.
