He entered her house not caring about the weird look he was getting from everyone who saw him running like a madman

"Diya! Diya!" Hiding her face in her pillow she tried to soak her tears but it didn't stopped it's when she heard his voice

Getting up she quickly wiped her tears and get down from her bed and was about to left her room but her mother cought her on the doorway

"Diya yahi ruk jaiye," her mother grabbed her tightly

(Stop there.)

"Mamma, Khawar ayen Hai Hume unse milna Hai," she pleade her mother as she dragged her to bed

(I want to meet him.)

"Bilkul bhi nahi, apke baba ya Bhai ne apko niche dekh liya to achha nahi hoga,"

(Are you crazy? Your brother will kill you if he saw you downstairs.)

"Mamma bas ek baar Hume Khawar se milne dijiye," she joined her hands together

(I want to meet him only last time.)

"Jaise aye ho waise hi chale jao, Hume koi Tamasha nahi karna," Asfand Sayyed warn him

(We don't want to create any scene so just leave from here.)

"Mujhe Diya se milna Hai," without any fear Khawar looked into his eyes and said

(I want to meet Diya.)

"Humari behen ka naam apne zubaan se lene ki himmat Kaise hui?" Ajmal Sayyed came forward but was stopped by his father showed his hand

(How dare you to say her name?)

"Diya ki Kal Shaadi Hai toh achha hoga agar tum yaha se sharafat se chale jao,"

(She is getting married tommorow, so just leave.)

"Khush nahi Hai woh apni Shaadi se, aap log kyu nahi samajhte hum dono ek dusre se mohabbat karte Hain?" he got slapped for this, holding his cheek he looked at Ajmal Gulari

(She is not happy with her marriage, why you aren't understanding our love?)

"Achha hoga agar tum apne pairo pe yaha se jao," Asfand Sayyed again warn him, by now Aangan was getting full by relatives and workers

(It will be nice if you leave on your feet.)

"Diya se mile beena ton nahi jaunga," he was also determined

(I won't leave without meeting Diya.)

"Khawar!" When he heard a soft voice turning around he saw her on the stairway looking at him with red eyes then at her father and brother

"Diya! Tum abhi mere sath chalo." he went near stairs and took his hand forward for her

(Come with me,)

"Khawar aap please jaiye yaha se," She whispered while looking at her father then at him, who's face was showing the colour of hurt

(Please go from here.)

"Sunn liya! Ab jao yaha se," Ajmal Sayyed said while grabbing his arm and throwing him far away from stairs, Diya tighten her hold on the railing to hold herself from going near him

(You have listened what she said? Now leave.)

"Dekho! Achha hoga ab tum yaha se chale jao," Asfand Sayyed said

(Now leave.)

"Achha nahi Kar rahe Hain aap log, aap jante Hain woh apni Shaadi se khush nahi hai, hum dono ek dusre se mohabbat karte hain aap humari mohabbat ko qabool kyu nahi Kar lete?" He wasn't one to back off, but Ajmal Sayyed had enough of this and punched him. Diya took two step down but her mother hold her, shaking her head negatively she grabbed Diya taking her to her room

(You aren't doing fair, we both love each other why can't you understand?)

"Aaj tumhe khatm karke yeh mohabbat ka kissa hi na khatam kardu main?" Asfand Sayyed roar while still beating him to death

(Today I'll end your Love by ending your life.)

"Bhai bas kare'n" Diya shouted and ran downstairs, Asfand hand stopped in the air when he saw his sister kneeled down beside Khawar

(Stop it.)

"Bas Kar dijiye Bhai,.... Khawar aap please jaiye yaha se." Tears started falling down to her cheek as she touched Khawar's bleeding lips

(Please stop it..... Khawar please go from here.)

"DIYA!" Ajmal roared, harshly grabbing her up he slapped her,

Her fragile body was about fall but khawar hold her before she could touched the floor

Seeing the red print of fingers on her cheek, his knuckles whiten

He put all force that he have in him and punched Ajmal Sayyed

"Aaj toh Kar liya par dubara Diya pe hath uthane ka socha bhi toh hath kaat dunga,"

(If you tried to slap Diya again I'll ripped your arm.)

Ajmal again was about to start the fight but Asfand Sayyed put his hand on his shoulder to stop him

"Diya ne tumhe khud yaha se jane ke liye kaha Hai, achha hoga chale jao tum yaha se," he said in calm yet dominating voice

(She has already asked you to leave,)

"Diya ko liye beghair nahi, tum abhi mere sath chal rahi ho, main tumhe yaha ab aur nahi rehne dunga," he wasn't asking but demanding

(I'll not go without Diya, you are coming with me.)

"Diya agar ek kadam bhi agey barhaya toh apne baba ka mara hua muhn dekhengi aap," The poor girl was stuck between two: one side was her love whom she can't live without and on other side was her father for whom she can give her life

Khawar understood the meaning behind her silence, not to make her more guilty, his tighten on her hand loosen as he was about to left

"Khawar!" But Diya grabbed his arm

"Diya!" Asfand Sayyed called her but she payed no attention to him

"Hum bhi apke sath chalenge," looking at him she said not caring about anyone else

(I'll also come with you.)

"Diya! Apne kamre mein wapas jaiye," Ajmal said

(Go to your room.)

"Hume aise logo mein nahi rehna jinke liye unki aana kisi ki Zindagi se bhi zyada aziz Hai," for the first time she was standing for herself and this newly found courage was given by Khawar

(I don't want to live with them.)

"Diya.. tum....." Ajmal came forward but Khawar already grabbed Diya's hand and came in front of her like a wall

Asfand Sayyed also stopped him

"Yahi apka akhiri faisla Hai?" He asked Diya, hearing her father's voice all bravery in her died but she still manage to nod her head behind Khawar

(That's your decision?)

"Theek Hai phir!" Asfand nod his head while putting his hands behind him

"Baba....." Ajmal interrupted but Asfand showed his hand

"Chali jaiye yaha se aur dubara mat aiyega yaha, hum maan lenge humari koi beti hi nahi thi, aap bhi man lijiyega apki koi family nahi hai," he said his final decision and left the room,

(Then go from here and never returned, I'll think I don't have any daughter.)

Her mother who came forward to her daughter but Ajmal stopped her

"Mamma chaliye, suna nahi baba ne Kya kaha?" He said in much hatred that Diya thought it's not her brother who is speaking, he also forcefully took her inside

(Didn't you listened what baba said.)

But the relatives who were here to attend wedding was still standing there

°°°

"Ammi! Ammi!" A young girl called her mother

"Kya hogaya Hai?" Her mother who was making dinner asked paying little attention to her daughter

(What happened?)

"Ammi Bhai dulhan leke ayen Hain." Whispering she told her mother, her mother hand stopped and she turned to her only daughter

(Khawar Bhai has come with bride.)

"Kya?" Shocked was visible on her face as she left the kitchen with her daughter and came to living room where she saw her husband t, her son and a girl who was wearing a yellow ghagra white black shawl properly on her head which suited her snow white skin making her look more beautiful, her head was bowed down as she stand beside Khawar

(What?)

"Iss tarah se ek ladki ko uske Ghar se bhaga Kar le aye aur tumhe zara sa bhi apne parivar ka khayal nahi aya?" He asked Khawar

(Didn't you for once thought about your family when you were eloping her from her home?)

"Abbu woh zabardasti Kar rahe the Diya ke sath."

(They were marrying her off forcefully.)

"Jo bhi Kar rahe the unki beti Hai, tum abhi issi waqt isse Ghar chorr ke aao," on hearing this Diya fearfully hold his hand and looked at him with her big eyes

(That's not your business she is their daughter, go and drop her to her house.)

"Nahi Abbu, Mera hath bohot bharose se thama Hai isne, iske bharose ko nahi torunga," he gripped her hand firmly

(I won't leave her.)

"Aur apne Abbu ke maan ko tordoge?"

(Even if you have to leave your family?)

"Abbu aap Meri baat to suniye...."

(Please listen to me.....)

"Bas Khawar! Ya to tumhe isse chunna hoga ya apni family ko,"

(Enough! You have to choose: her or your family?)

"Yeh Kya keh rahe Hain aap?" His mother finally interrupt them

(What are you saying?)

"Tum beech mein mat bolo, yeh sab tumhare laad pyaar ka hi natija Hai, tum dono apne kamre mein jao," She know she can't do anything so she just grabbed her daughter's hand, giving a last glance to her son she left

(Don't interrupt in the middle, take her to her room.)

"Yahi baat Hai to theek Hai abbu, Diya ne mere liye apni family ko chora hai main bhi uske liye chorh sakta Hoon," when his mother and sister left, he looked at his father

(Fine! If Diya can leave her family for me so can I.)

"Ammi! Abbu ko rokiye," she heard what he said by standing on the doorway of her room

(Ammi! Please stop Abbu.)

"Mere bas mein kuch nahi Hai," she said in tired voice, she didn't had any energy so she was sitting on the bed

(It's not in my hands.)

"Toh Kya Bhai waqai mein chale jayenge?" She came in front of her mother kneeling down she asked. All the mother-daughter could do was crying and pray for Khawar and his wife

(Will Bhai truly leave us?)
