"kia zarurat thye driving ki.... Bahar kiyoun gaye tum? aur kisi ko bata kar kiyoun nahi gayi?"

(Why did you drive? Why did you go out? Why didn't you inform anyone?)

"mai to kehta hun jane ki kia zarrorat thye bahir jab driving nahi ati tumhain?"

(And I say why would you drive out when you don't know how to drive?)

Asking for a reply from amaya's side I was getting angry over her on what she did to herself, but at one stage I thanked god that she is completely fine

"Ab kuch bologi k chup raho gi issi tarah, mai tumse bat karaha hun Amaya jawab do,ye apni halat daikhi hai tumnay? shukar manao ziada chot nahi aai bus sir pe stitches aye hain aur ye kamzori, mainay kia kami rahki hai tumhain jo kamzori hai tumhain bhai khanay k faqay hain hamaray ghar main jo tumhe kamzori se hosh nahi araha tha?"

(Will you say something now or wanna be silent like this, I am talking to you Amaya answer me, have you seen your state? Thank god about this not being so serious rather then having stitches on your head, and this weakness. Am I lacking you in something am I not providing food that you didn't woke up because of weakness?)

"Amaya me kehta hun jawab do"

(Amaya I'm telling you to reply me)

"kis rishtay say doon tumhain tumharay sawaloon ka jawab?"

(with what relation should I reply your question?)

"kis rishtay say matlab rishta hai hamara samjhi tum meri be..."

(What you mean relation you are my wi...)

I went speechless completely speechless what to say

kia lagti hai ye meri kuch bhi to nahi...issay paraya mainay khud to bunaya hai aur ab issay dant rahan ho

(What's her relation with me? nothing I made her a Stanger and now being angry at her)

"meri bachi ki maa lagti ho tum is haq se mere sawalon ka jawab do "

(you're a mother to my daughter by this relation answer my question)

"bachi ki maa hon to bachi ko jawab doongi tumhe nahi"

(I am a mother to her so I'll tell her not you)

"fine pari raho yahan par. Tumhare discharge papers fill kar k ata hoon challena phir"

(fine then sit back here. I'll come back with your discharge paper lets go home then)

Pata nahi kia hogaya hai issay achanaq aisay bol pari hai pata nahi kahan se itni himmat le k aai hai

(don't know why is she like this? And from where did he found so much courage to speak)

I talked to myself and started walking to reception signing the discharge papers

---------------------------------------------------

I made my engine died at the front door of our home and without any word Amaya started walking out of the car inside our home huffing some air out I parked the car at side and walked in to find some other environment

Amaya's brothers all four brothers were inside and my feet halted at the moment when someone griped me from the back of my neck and jerked me towards the floor, harshly and badly my body crashed on the floor and all four of them started beating me out saying something which I couldn't get.

The moment Amaya leave my house she haven't contacted me I even tried her number 1000 times but she didn't even received, it was hard to accept that my own daughter disowned me but, my heart was at ease thinking that Hussain is a nice man he will take care of my daughter but this trust got broken when I heard a news of Hussain getting married again. quickly applying for a visa here I am with all her four brothers to beat the crap out of Hussain on what he did to my daughter

"bhai mat maro Hussain ko woh mar jaega"

(brother don't beat him he'll die)

My daughter, I saw her with all affection in me for her, how weak she is how broken she is but still she is trying to save the beast from us, she is trying to save that jerk who spoiled my daughter's life

but her siblings wasn't like her because they all love Amaya

"abba rokain sab ko kiyoun ayen hain ap log? kiyoun maar rahy hain Hussain ko? Choro ussay"

(dad stop them why are you all here? Why are you beating him? Leave him)

She then gazed me and I saw her saying a no shooking my head and what she did next was shocking for all of us, taking an iron rod from the side she started beating her own brothers and saved Hussain like this

"kia hogaya hai tujhay Amaya tu hamain maray gi"

(what happened to you Amaya you'll beat us now?)

hameed spoke rubbing his left shoulder decreasing his pain

"ap logon ko kia hua hai kiyoun maar rahy hain ap Hussain ko, marnay ki baat choro aye kiyoun hain ap log yahan mera ap logon say koi rishta nahi jaye ap loog yahan say"

(what happened to all of you why are you beating hussain, lets skip it why are you even here, I am not your relative anyway so leave this place now)

"ahmed....ahmed jao guards ko bulao aur bahar phenkwao sab ko "

(ahmed....ahmed go get the bodyguards and throw them all out)

She said and then started cleaning the flowing blood from hussain's face, I saw tears in my daughters eyes, she was crying in front of me and I was there doing nothing for her when the guards came jerking us back when I spoke

"apnay baap ko bahar phenkwayegi meri beti"

(you'll throw you dad out daughter)

and her gaze shifted towards me from Hussain, wiping the tears from her cheeks she spoke

"kaisa baap? Ap log kon hai mai ap logon ko nahi janti"

(dad who? Who are you guys I don't even know you)

"acha is liye kabse bhai bhai aur abba abba kar rahi thye tu"

(oh so that's why you were calling us brother and dad)

I spoke seeing her

She was in a deep thought when Hussain stood up making us all gazing him even Amaya stood up and tried to balance him placing her hand on hussain's back when he jerked her grip and spoke harshly

"Itna bhi nahi peeta mujhay tumharay char bhaiyoon nay jo tumharay saharay ki zaroorat paray ......"

(Your 4 bothers didn't beat me that much so that I'll need your help... )

Pushing her towards us he spoke again

"...jao shamil hojao apni gang mai jao jao inkay sath"

(...go add up with your gang go away with them)

"Hussain ye ap kia keh rahy hain ap nahi Hussain"

(hussain what are you saying, no hussain)

My daughter spoke cracking up

"achaa ab yahan rehnay ki baat ayi to aap hogaya mai, jao yahan say main tumhari shakal nahi daikhna chahta just leave"

(oh so now that it came on living so you are giving me respect, leave this place I don't wanna see your face)

"Hussain"

The atmosphere changed due to the slap Hussain got and all our eyes went to the one who did this.

Shehryaar, shehryaar did this hussain's older brother.

"kia bakwas kar raha hai tu janta hai, kiyoun jaye Amaya ghar chor kar?"

(what the crap are you saying? Why would she leave this house)

shehry spoke shielding Amaya

"kiyoun k ye is ka ghar nahi shehry issay jana hoga she is not my wife any more"

(because this is not her home she have to leave shehry she is not my wife anymore)

Hussain said harshly making Amaya to cracked up and to cry loudly in front of us.

"Amaya nahi jaye...."

(Amaya will not...)

Shehry was in the middle of saying something when Amaya cut him halfway and spoke

"rehnay dijeye bhai Amaya chali jaegi"

(stop it brother Amaya will leave)

with a pause she started again

"sorry shehry bhai me apko bata nahe pai Hussainne mujhay talaq dedi hai. jis din mainay apko shadi ka bataya tha ussi din"

(Sorry shehry brother I couldn't get a chance to tell you this but hussain divorced me the same day I told you about his re-marrying)

Amaya spoke making me shocked and "WHAT...?" Was the last thing shehry mounted

Merging the courage my daughter stand up and wiped her face from the corner of her dupatta which created a little mess as Hussain blood was there. She then took Anaya from one of her mate here and walked towards me when I hold her from the shoulders and started moving out from the hell with my daughter and granddaughter when Hussain spoke

"ruko Amaya...."

(Wait Amaya....)

She stopped at once and I saw hope in those crying eyes which got crashed when Hussain snatched her baby and said

"Anaya kaheen nahi jaegi"

(Anaya will not go anywhere)

"nahi jaegi matlab Anaya us ki beti hai wapis day ussay"

(she won't leave means? Anaya is her daughter give her back)

ashad spoke caring about her sister when Hussain jerked her backwards

"ye teri behen hai le k jaa issay,.... mujhay is say koi farq nahi parta k ye yahan rahy k nahi par Anaya meri beti hai"

(she is your sister take her with you... it doesn't bother me at all...but Anaya is my daughter)

Hussain said pointing a finger over Amaya with his harsh words

"meri beti matlab Hussain Anaya meri bhi beti hai laao do issay wo mere bagair nahi reh sakti"

(you daughter? Hussain Anaya is my daughter as well she can't live without me give her back)

Amaya spoke when Hussain moved backward

"nahi Anaya sirf meri beti hai I have her papers"

(No Anaya is just my daughter I have the papers)

"Papers what papers???" Amaya spoke

"Anaya k custody papers hain mere paas"

(I have anaya's custody papers)

He spoke and started moving backwards and he then got out of our site when he walked through the stairs and then shut his room's door

After a moment he come back holding some papers in his hand with Anaya and he showed it to Amaya and she started reading it after a moment she become just a statue like a dead person, only the flowing tears showed that she is alive, seeing her like this I tried to read the papers but as in not educated none of the word I could understand

"laie mujhay day mai parhta hoon"

(give me let me see it)

Shehry spoke and saw the papers. Seeing the papers he went shocked like Amaya for a little and then spoke

"Anaya ki custody ab Hussain k paas hai and is par Amaya k signs bhi hain"

(Hussain have anaya's custody now it have amaya's signatures)

He spoke and I saw Hussain smiling evilly

"acha hua Amyra nay mujhay ye idea dea and I've made you signed warna tum meri bach ko cheen leti mujhsay"

(that's good that amyra told me this idea so I made you sign them or else you'd be snatching my daughter by now)

Hussain spoke

"Please mujhay meri bachi daydo please Hussain main tumse bheek mangti hu"

(please hussain give me my daughter back, I beg you please)

Amaya spoke pleading with her palms against eachother

"theek hai bachi chaheye na? mujhay bhi apni bachi ko palnay wala chaheye aur tum ne to paida kea hai issay baap bunaya hai mujhay us haq say main tumhain ijazat deta hoon is ghar main rehnay ki meri bachi k sath"

(want the kid right? Ok then I want someone to papmper the kid anyways after all you gave her birth and made me a father so by that I allow yu to live in this house with her )

"koi zaroorat nahi, tum rakho apni bachi hum apni behen ko jaan bujh kar dosagh mai nahi dhakailingay"

(no need, yu can keep your daughter we don't want to push our sister in this hell)

ashad said shielding Amaya and then holding my crying daughter from shoulders I made my way to the exit door with her

"mamaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!! "

The moment Amaya started moving Anaya started crying loudly saying mama and showing her hands in the air and Amaya gazed her with teary eyes

Knowing what will be next I gripped around her shoulders and made her move with me,

exiting the door I made her sit in a cab with me when she started walking to the house again after opening the cab's door

"kahan ja rahi hai beti tu"

(where are you heading to?)

I spoke making her to stop

"meri beti mujhay bula rahi hai abba mujhay jana hoga"

(my daughter is calling me dad I have to go)

she spoke

"ab who teri beti nahi hai Amaya hosh mai aja beta ab wo sirf Hussain ki beti hai tujhay aya buna kar rakhaingay agar tu wapis gayi to"

(she isn't your daughter now, come to your senses Amaya now she is just hussain's daughter he'll keep you as care taker if you go back now just to babysit)

I said holding her from her wrist

"to rehloongi abba main ayya bun k reh loongi"

(so I'll live like a babysitter then, I'll be the care taker then)

She spoke making me confuse, my grip on her wrist loosened and she got succeeded moving herself back

"apnay he kaha tha na abba saray larkay aisay he hoty hain? Sahi kaha tha ap bhi aisay he thay aur Hussain bhi aisay he nikla abba par koi baat nahi me to orat hun abba allah nay mujhay sabar aur qurbani k liye bunaya hai, mai hojaoungi qurbaan abba karloongi sabar"

(you told me once that every mens are same? You were right you was like this tooand hussain is also like this but no problem dad I'll compromise I'll suffer after all that's what womens are made for right)

she spoke the last words which I said to her once and then quickly ran inside the house shutting the door tight at her back.

And like we all man come alone we all even left the place alone all crying and unhappy seeing Amaya like this

kittni besahara si bun gai hai meri bachi, lagta hai allah nay mujhay mere gunahoon ka sila diya hai meri bachi k sath who kar k jo kabhi mene is ki maa k sath kea

(so helpless my daughter has become, I think God punished me doing this with my daughter because of what I did to my mother)

Aye Allah mujhay maafi day, chahay to mujhay dosakh main daal day par meri bachi pe reham kar...

(Oh Lord please forgive me, put me in hell but have some mercy on my daughter)

Agar guzray zamany main mai aisa na hota to amaya ki zingadi mai uski maa ki tarah ek bura haroon na ata jo k bas dikhlawa janta ho... maaf kar mujhay mere rab maf kar.....

(only if I wasn't like this in my past... my daughter would'nt have got a haroon s well like her mother's, a husband that only shows act, forgive me my lord, forgive me)

I was standing there not able to inhale what happened and Hussain was there holding Anaya to her chest trying to hush the baby when I saw Amaya coming back.

She fastly closed the front door behind her as if someone will catch her, carefully taking Anaya from Hussain she started moving to her room after saying that she has accepted whatever hussain's demanded. I felt bad for what my own brother did to her

grabbing Hussain from the collar I pushed her and his body collided to the hard marble floor

pointing my index figure at him and gazing him with all the irritation building up in me I spoke

"Amaya mere sath ghar wapis jaegi Houston main rahegi ab woh"

(Amaya will go back to Houston with me got it)

with that said I left him there not even caring about Hussain or his stage right now

I was only thinking of one person at that time... Amaya

Knocking on her closed door I heard her sobbing

"Amaya open the door it's me shehry here"

The door creaked open after I told her about me being here, she was smiling seeing me but interlay she was crying and I know that seeing her red eyes. Anaya was there in the middle of the bed playing with her soft toys unknown about the situation relaxing seeing her mother with her

She gazed me to come in and I stepped in ordering her to lock the door and she did as I said

Taking a seat next to her I started what I was about to say

"itnna dukh itni takleef ek moqa tha tumhare paas chali kiyoun nahi gayi tum?"

(so much pain, so many sorrows why didn't you left even when you had a chance)

I asked what I was thinking

"qk meri beti ko meri zaroorat thye bhai us beti ko jo meri na rahi ab"

(Becase my daughter needed me, a daughter that's not mines anymore)

she said and started crying loudly

"Anaya tumhari he hai Amaya sirf tumhari beti"

(Anaya is still your daughter Amaya just yours)

I said

"kasiay Anaya ab sirf Hussain ki hai shehry Hussain nay..."

(how naya is just hussains now hussain did...)

"bhaag jao Anaya ko le kar"

(run away with anaya)

she was trying to say something when I cut her in the middle and said those words which make her freeze for a while

coming back to normal she pretended to be normal as if she haven't heard anything but I said it again and she finally asked me how

"mere sath chalo Houston wahan raho Hussain chahy bhi to bhi tumhen Anaya se door nahi kar sakta"

(come with me to Houston live there with us hussain cant seprate you from Anaya even if he want)

I told her my plan and she just nodded saying nothing

"Agar main wahan rahi to ami abu ka kia hoga bhai? ami abu meri waja se Hussain say bat nahi karengay Hussain k liye tarastay reh jiyengay par mujhay takleef nahen daingay. Main unhain takleef dainay k liye wahan nahi rehna chahti bhai par ab yahan rehnay ka bhi dil nahi hai"

(if I come there what will happen to mom and dad? They won't speak to hussain because of me, they'll die missing him but they won't hurt me, I don't want to hurt them that's why I can't live there but I can't live here anymore)

The things she pointed made me to think more about what to do as she is right about mama and baba's situation but I also don't want to leave her like this in this situation

Thinking for an idea I got it and shared it with her

"listen I know it's difficult but you can shift to Canada I know it's difficult I have a friend there she can help you. So you'll be far from hussain won't hurt mom dad too" listening to this her smile shows that she agreed and after conforming her I got busy in arranging visa and tickets for Amaya and Anaya to fly Canada

------------------------------------------------------

"okh so the plan is we both will be fly off together on the valima ceremony, Hussain will think that we are leaving for Houston with me but I will drop you to your flight and will go back to the hotel and then I'll be flying for Houston next day. Hussain wont say anything if you will be with me and"

I preplanned all the things with Amaya so there will be no problem going out from the house but at some points I was feeling a little afraid

kuch ajeeb sa daar sata raha tha dil mai najanay kia aur kiyoun bus ajeeb ki kaifiyat thye na bayan honay wali....

(something strange was scaring me inside, I don't know why but it was something so weird that I couldn't describe)

Wearing a suit pant I was standing by the door frame of my cupboard trying to select the suitable tie for the event when haven't selected any and called Amaya for help. She appeared from a distance to me seeing me smiling, seeing her smiling my heart was at ease and I also smiled seeing her when she come closer and picked one tie for me.

She was about to hand me the tie when I bend a little gesturing her to tie it herself on me.Sshe looked in my eyes for a while and then started doing what I gazed to do

"aj akhri baar kar rahi hun ye phir to amyra ajayegi tumhare liye aur bus...phhir meeri chutti"

(I am doin this doing this for the last time today, you'll have amyra for this afterwards, and then I'll be off)
