Arzoo's new life has begun, but the difference was she was standing in the dark looking out in to the light. Her all hopes were shattered with the determent voice of Amaan. But nevertheless, a single thread of hope is still a very powerful thing. She didn't want to stand before god at the end of her life. She was hoping that she would not have a single bit of talent left and could say I used everything you gave me.

Mrs. Zarina's words were working like a drop of water on a dessert.

She wanted to believe her, she knew that marriage is a sacred bond, and now he was her husband by religion and by law. She wanted to work on this marriage, but his words and actions were making it hard for her to think positive.

She was sitting in her room that Noori's cheerful voice broke the chain of her thoughts.

Noori entered her room and Arzoo ran and hugged her, noori hugged her back but she felt this hug was strange. It felt like Arzoo needed this hug, it was showing her that Arzoo was not fine and what made her assumption right was when she pressed Arzoo in a big hug, Arzoo hissed and her body became tensed. Noori broke the hug and looked at her. Arzoo knew that she can't look at her eyes for long so she averted her eyes, and tried to be normal making her sit with her on sofa.

'' Arzoo look at me?

What happened to you?'' asked noori in a concerned voice which Arzoo was familiar with.

She looked at her and tried to smile but tears in her eyes were betraying her.

'' I am fine, I just missed you all a lot'' replied Arzoo while trying to look justified to her. But Noori was not buying it. She knew Arzoo and her excuses. Arzoo was like an open book for Noori.

'' really?

So your back pain is also because you miss as?

You know Arzoo I am not buying it so better to tell me the truth, did he raise his hand on you?

Tell me Arzoo please before it's too late! You are still here we can find a way but please tell me''

Arzoo was looking at her with so much love, she knew how much Noori is protective about her, but now it truly is late. There was no choice of time limit for Arzoo, her life was decided so she never had the chance to think or say something.

She gave Noori a small smile and hugged her again.

'' I am fine, you know the wedding functions and all are so tiring, so I had a shower but I slipped. But don't worry I am fine as always''

She said it while mustering some courage and was hoping that Noori accept it. But the look in Noori's eyes were telling her that she has her doubts on Arzoo but still she nodded. And looked around the room which was indeed beautiful to describe.

'' your room is beautiful, each and everything is special and unique but. I hope that this room had witnessed or will witness only your happiness'' she said it while looking around the room. her eyes stopped on Arzoo and hold her hands and continued.

''you also know that I know every breath of you, so I won't force you to tell me what happened with you or happening with you, but remember one thing no one is that much weak who can tolerate anything, and you are not at all weak. I have seen Amaan a bit and I know he is not an easy man to live with, but still I know you. You are the light in everyone's life. You will make light up his life too. but that doesn't mean you should lost yourself. If something is not working then remember it will not work ever.

If you want to make something, it doesn't mean you should break yourself.

Always remember you are married to him, you have every right on him. He is your equal.

No one is above each other. Just be who you are. You don't need to change yourself for him. And remember we all are here for you.''

Arzoo hugged Noori. She felt all kind of emotions at once.

Content: Noori's words which was giving her strength.

Downhearted: since Noori didn't know anything about Arzoo's married life. The person, whom she is saying is Arzoo equal, is calling Arzoo his concubine not wife.

'' ladies come on its lunch time'' Anabia's voice broke their chain of thoughts and both looked at her.

'' yeah come on lets go we will have lunch then we will talk a lot because you are going with me for tonight''

Said Noori excitedly which made Anabia and Arzoo smile on her happiness.

They trio left the room to have lunch will all the relatives and family. But since all the relatives were there so the dining table was small for all so the spread a destarkhan in hall with the ACs on because it was not snowing outside but still cold.

Everyone settle down but not Amaan. Mrs. Zarina looked at her husband.

'' Amaan what are you doing here?

Come on son lets have lunch, it's our last lunch in AFG and these relatives. Soon we will leave. And also Arzoo is sitting alone there. It's inappropriate of newlyweds to eat alone so come.''

Said Mr. Ahmad while searching for his son who was sitting in his study and busy in his laptop.

Amaan looked at his father and listened to what he said to him, but care non for his concerns.

He was sitting on his leather chair, working on his laptop. He put the laptop aside, and sat in a chin stroking position while his index finger points vertically up the cheek and the thumb supports the chin.

He looked at his father for good few seconds then he scratched his eye brow.

'' dad you want me to be part of that circus?

Sorry I can't pretend that I am happy around them while clearly I am annoyed by them.

I will have my lunch later if I needed to'' he said nonchalantly to Mr. Ahmad.

Mr. Ahmad knew his son's this nature. He was not happy around crowd, and he knew that he is proud. But he couldn't change his this habit.

'' you think we are all jokers here?

We are having a family lunch it looks like circus to you?

Do you have any feeling for as or your wife?

She is sitting alone there while everyone else are sitting with their partners. When will you come out of your shell Amaan!

Accept this fact that you are married now.'' Said Mr. Ahmad with irate.

Amaan's jaw clenched, his eyes were showing his exasperation but he couldn't show it because the person in front of him was his father. And he loved his father.

'' dad I am your son, I have my own family I don't need these fake people with their fake concerns and happiness. And yes I am married but I haven't forced her to sit among them and eat. It's her choice.

You know what you guys carry on I am going to gym'' with that he left his study leaving his dad in wonder that when will he change.

True to his words he didn't joined them. Arzoo could see collective eyes of their relatives. Some were looking at her with sour eyes, some with love.

'' Arzoo come here''

Mrs. Zarina's voice startled her. She went with her and sat beside her mother in law.

'' go to your room and change your clothes, go with Noori. Tonight you are staying there in your uncle's house''

Arzoo nodded but she was deep in thoughts which made Mrs. Zarina tensed.

'' what happened Arzoo?

Why are you so tensed?''

Arzoo looked at her mother in law. But couldn't help of not telling her. She needed someone to guide her in her early days of her marriage. Especially when this marriage is a thin thread. Mostly its hate, confusion, misunderstanding anything but not love and from his side was nor love and nither respect.

She deep sighed and looked at Mrs. Zarina who was looking at her with concern in her eyes.

'' Actually aunty I ...... I don't know how to tell him that I am going to my uncle's house for tonight?

How will he react?

Should I even tell him, or not?

And what if he doesn't want me to go then?

What should I expect from him? I just don't know anything.''

Mrs. Zarina smiled and kissed her forehead. She was right about her. Arzoo is very innocent.

'' of course you should tell him dear. He is your husband after all.

And don't worry he won't say know because he already knows about this but still its good if you tell him at least once. ''

Arzoo nodded. While leaving to her room she was restless. Anytime Noori would call her to lets go but there was no news about Amaan.

She waited that maybe he would come to room but time was passing by but there was no trace of him.

It's ok I will go and find him, with that thought she left her room.

But she was feeling hesitated that how will he react upon seeing her. She was so lost that she didn't realize someone was calling her. Arzoo came to her senses when a hand snapped in front of her.

She looked up and saw Ali looking at her.

'' where are you going?'' Ali asked her in his concern voice.

I can take his help, he can help me find him.

'' umm... actually wh...where is amaan?''

She asked more like a whisper but Ali heard it. He chuckled on her innocence and felt bad at the same time too.

'' he is in his gym. You have some work with him?''

Arzoo nodded on his response. Her heartbeat was not normal right now. How will she talk to him?

Ali sensed her discomfort but didn't bother to interfere between them.

'' I don't know about your work but I will tell you one thing that, when he is in his gym, then nobody dares to disturb him. So you better not disturb him now.''

But how can she wait when she is supposedly leaving in a few minutes. As he is her husband, then she needed to tell him about this plan.

But how can she disturb him now?

What should I do now?

I cant leave without telling him?

And I cant wait for him to finish cause its not matter of me, all the relatives will the wait for him to finish?

Oh god please help me.
