Making her way across the stairs she thought about making tea for herself,

She was craving tea at the weird time she knows that, but she is craving for tea so she is gonna make it for herself

When she reached kitchen her hand went to switch on light

She froze on her place when she saw Affan standing near fridge with a water bottle touched to his lips

He was also stunned to see the sudden Ray of light and looked at her then realized the bottle is still on his lips he quickly took it down

"Roshni! Main ja hi raha tha," when she was about to left Affan called her, and pass by her

(I was just leaving,)

She looked at his back as he left then again entered the kitchen to make tea

Roshni couldn't understand Affan, when she used to ask him to make something for her he used to tell her off now he always make sure to make something for her

When she used to ask him if she can pluck flower from lawn he used to scold her now he is the one who is placing flower in her room, she couldn't understand him nor she wanted to

She just want him to stop,

She just want him to stop putting pizza or some take over food in fridge when she skip dinner or indirectly telling Khawar to give her glass of milk because she is weak

She had enough of it and she just want him to stop

Because when she confessed her love for him he talked harsh words to her and now

The sound of the telephone ringing made her trace break, she picked the phone which was in living room

"Hello!" Closing the book which she was reading she answered

"Roshni!" The voice on the other side made her froze

"Shoib Bhai!" She finally said his name

"Tum theek hona?" His voice came weirdly

(How are you?)

"Ji!... Kya hua? Sab theek haina?" She put her hairlock behind her ear

(I'm fine!... Is everything okay?)

"Roshni woh Rohail....."

"Hume unse koi baat nahi karni," making her voice flat she sternly said

(I don't want to talk to him)

"Nahi actually woh baat karne ki halat mein Hai bhi nahi, uska accident ho gaya hai abhi hospital mein kafi critical condition Hai, uncle ussey related koi baat nahi karna chahte is liye Maine tumhe inform karne ka socha,"

(He is not in the condition of talking, he met with an accident and his condition is very critical, I couldn't get contact with uncle that's why I called you,)

"Roshni! Are you there?" When he didn't heard anything from her he asked,

"Aap.....aap yeh sab Hume kyu Bata rahe Hain?" she didn't knew when tears form their way in her eyes and her voice became hoarsely

(Why are you telling me this?)

Why she is crying? for him? No she isn't crying for him it just the harsh air she told herself

"Woh main..... Ho sake toh uncle se baat karo, uski halat kafi critical Hai," he hanged up, he know how hard it is for Roshni to move on and now calling her and telling her about Rohail wasn't a sensible thing to do but he had no option

(Actually.... Talk to Uncle please,"

"Roshni!" Affan who has just returned from office saw Roshni sitting in living room

When he got near he saw tears in her eyes

She got startled quickly drying her eyes she got up and was about to left

"Kya hua?" He grabbed her hand and and turned her to himself

(What happened?)

"Kuch nahi, hath choriye humara," she wasn't in the state of argue with him

(Nothing, leave my hand,)

"Yeh hath to main Zindagi bhar ke liye nahi chorunga," softly smiling he said

(I'll never leave your hand,)

She didn't said anything and tried to freed her hand but his grab became tight but not so tight to hurt her

"Affan please!" She snapped on him

"Jab Tak tum mujhe nahi batati ki kyu ro rahi thi main tumhara hath nahi chorunga,"

(Not until you tell me what wrong,)

"Mujhe Nana jaan ke Ghar Jana Hai Mera hath choriye,"

(I have to go to Nana's house,)

"Chali Jana waha bhi pehle mujhe batao kyu to rahi thi,"

(You can go there when you tell me everything,)

"Apko hum kuch bhi batana zaroori nahi samajhte,"

(I don't find it important to tell you anything,)

"Lekin mere liye tumse zyada zaroori kuch nahi,"

(But to me everything is important which is related to you,)

"Rohail ka accident hogaya Hai woh hospital mein Hain Hume yeh baat Mamu ko batana Hai please humare hath choriye," her words made his grib loose, she quickly jerked her hand away

(Rohail has met with accident and I have to tell this to Mamu,)

"Abhi bhi uske liye fikr ho rahi Hai tumhe?" He couldn't believe her, after all the things Rohail has done to her she is still crying for him?

(You are crying for him?)

Roshni didn't bothered to answer him and ran away outside to Asfand's house

After hour when she returned Affan was still in living room

She glance at him and took step forward to her room

"Roshni!"

"Jo bhi saza Deni Hai ek baar hi dedo, ab yeh katra katra zeher mijhse nahi piya jata," he grab her arm and said

(Please forgive me,)

"Hum apko koi saza kyu de'n?" Struggling to free her arm she said

(Why do I need to forgive you?)

"Mujhe tum apne kabil nahi samajhti lekin us shaks ke liye apne ansu barbad Kar rahi ho," he pulled her closer to him more than he should, their nose almost touched

(You don't want do to anything with me but you are wasting your years for him,)

"Hum unke liye nahi ro rahe the, aur apko koi fark bhi nahi padhna chahiye, kyuki aap hi woh shaks haina jinhone ne humare mohabbat ki touheen ki thi," with all the strength she had, she jerked herself away from him

(I wasn't crying for him, and you shouldn't care about this because you are same person who insulted my love,)

"Roshni main majboor Tha, salo baad mili thi tum apni family se, Asfand Nana apni beti se bohot mohabbat karte the aur tumme woh Diya aunty ko dekhte the, agar main us waqt kuch kehta ya karta to Asfand Nana ko lagta ki Chachu ek baar phirse unse unki beti ko Durr kar rahe hain,"

(I was helpless,)

"Keh liya Jo apko kehna Tha. Ab Hume jaye'n," she raised her eyebrow at him when he didn't said anything she turned to leave for her room

(I don't wanna listen anything,)

"

a familiar voice stopped her again, it was the same song which sang in front of Affan in car

"woh... Hamza..." She turned to him then looked around to find someone or a radio but couldn't find anything

"Aap gana ga rahe the......... lekin Hamza.... Aap.... " She asked as her eyes rounded, She didn't complete her sentence bit her mind already got the answer

(You were singing but Hamza...)

It made sense, Affan middle name is Hamza, his late father's name was Hamza Khan

"Jabse tum London gayi thi tabse Hamza ne gana bhi chorr diya," Affan informed her

(Hamza has stopped singing since you went to London,)

"I can not believe it, aap Hamza?" She again asked making Affan laugh

(You are Hamza,)

"Tumne kaha Tha ki jab Hamza se milogi toh I love you kahogi,"

(You have said that whenever you'll meet Hamza you'll say I love you to him,)

"Humne?..... Humne I love your voice kaha tha," for a moment she forget about everything, Rohail's accident, her little fight with Affan

All she remembered is Affan is the singer who she has like since years

"Achha! Mujhe toh achhe se yaad Hai I love ke baad you ata Hai," he was enjoying her old self

(Really! But I clearly remember that you came after I love,)

"I love ke baad your voice bhi ata Hai," she crossed her arms over her chest

(Your voice come after I love,)

Affan opened his mouth to say something but close it when they heard someone clearing their throat

Roshni took her hands down and saw Yawer Khan standing there and looking at them amusingly

For how long was he standing there? Roshni quickly ran to her room

Yawer Khan looked at her back then turned to Affan

"Woh.. main... Abhi aya," he also left

(I'll just come,)

Yawer looked at his back then at the way from Roshni left

°°°°

"Lekin!.... Aap sure Hain?"

(But!.... Are you sure,)

"Haan mujhe pura yaqeen Hai, dekho Khawar aaj nahi toh Kal Roshni ki Shaadi phirse hogi hi to Affan se kyu nahi?"

(Yes I'm sure, now or later Roshni had to remarry why not with Affan,)

"Roshni ki marzi ke beena kuch nahi karunga main," Khawar said,

(I won't do anything against Roshni's will,)

"Main Roshni se baat karunga," Yawer Khan decided while getting

(I'll talk to Roshni,)

"Aap?"

(You?)

"Haan main! Tumhe koi problem hai?" Khawar nod his head negatively

(Yes I will! Do you have any problem?)

"Roshni!" When Yawer Khan entered her room he found her offering Namaz quietly he sat on her bed and waited for her to complete her Namaz

"Ji dadu! Koi kaam Tha," When she was done she unwrapped her dupatta and came to him

(Do you have some work?)

"Kaam toh Tha, lekin wada Karo tum sab kuch Sach Sach bataogi," Roshni nod her head

(I have but you promise you'll tell the truth,)

"Roshni! Sach Sach bataiye Affan aur apke darmiyan Kya chal raha Hai,"

(What's going on between you and Affan?)

"Kuch bhi nahi chal raha Hai," she quickly said before Yawer get anything wrong

(Nothing,)

"Achha phir us din Affan tumse Kya bol raha tha?"

(What were you two talking about the other day?)

"Woh.......woh.. actually,"

"Haan bolo, Jo bhi baat Hai mujhe batao," he lovingly hold her hand and said

(Tell me everything,)

"Dadu actually...." And she did told him every truth not every but some, she has been hiding it to herself for long and now she needed someone to share it

"Thora pagal Hai woh, aqal ki kami Hai usme, agar mujhe ye baat pehle pata hoti to tumhari aur uski Shaadi karwata Asfand Bhai se main baat Kar leta, ab toh Jo hona Tha hogaya, ab bataiye ab aap Kya chahti Hain?"

(He is an idiot, if I had known about this all I would have got you two married, but let it be, now tell me what you want?)

"Hum?"

(Me?)

"Haan aap! Main aur tumhare papa bohot khush honge agar tum apni life mein move on hogi aur khush rahogi aur agar tum humari nazro ke samne rahogi toh issey achhi Kya baat hogi,"

(Yes you! Your father and me both want you to move on and be happy in your life,)

"Agar apko time chahiye to theek Hai, apke future ki baat Hai soch samajh ke faisla lijiyega Meri ya kisi aur ki wajah se nahi," he pat her cheeks and left her room

(You can take some time if you want, just don't take any decision with pressure,)

Whistling Affan combed his hair when someone clear his throat

He turned and saw Yawer Khan standing on the doorway of his room

"Dadu aap! Aiye bahar kyu khade Hain," he put the comb on the dressing table and said

(Why are you standing there please come,)

"Baat karni thi agar busy nahi ho," he came inside and sat on his bed

(I wanted to talk to you, hope you aren't busy,)

"Nahi dadu bilkul bhi nahi, kahiye Jo kehna Hai," Affan sat in front of him on the floor by the support of his knees

(No I'm not busy,)

"Roshni aur tumhare beech Kya Hai?" Yawer sternly questioned

(What's going on between you and Roshni?)

"Filhal toh kuch bhi nahi," he cleared his throat and casually replied

(Nothing right now,)

"Roshni ne sab Bata mujhe,"

(Roshni has told me everything,)

"Bata diya?" He wasn't shock to heard this,

(She has?)

"Hm! Toh ab?"

(Now?)

"Ab jab Tak woh mujhe maaf nahi karegi main tab Tak ussey mafi manguga," Affan shrugged his shoulder and told his plan making Yawer Khan laugh

(Now I'll apologise to her until or unless she forgive me,)

"Karlo koshish," he pat his shoulder and left, Affan couldn't understand why he laughed was he mocking him or supporting, Affan nod his head negatively and got up

(Try yourself,)

When he came outside of the house he saw Roshni in lawn, she was walking around then she stopped

"Kya kar rahe Hain aap? Apko Pata nahi Hai Affan apne inn flowers ko leke kitne possessive Hain, hum bhi Kai baar dant kha chuke Hain," she picked a black cat which crushed her feet on the poppies flower and ruined them

(What are you doing? Don't you know how much possessive Affan is for his flowers, he even scold me for them.)

Although he came outside to go to somewhere but his feet took him to her

When he was just few feet away he cleared his throat making her aware of his presence

She got frightened and turned to her back only to find him looking at her amusingly

"Waise main ab nahi dantuga tumhe," when she was about to left he came in front of her

The cat whom she was holding ran away from her

(I won't scold you now,)

"Aap sharifo ki tarah baat nahi Kar sakte? Kabhi samne ajate Hain Kabhi hath pakad lete Hain," she looked at the cat then turned to him placing her hands on her hip she asked making Affan laugh

(Can't you talk like a decent person, sometime you stop my way then grab my hand,)

"Maaf kardo mujhe," when he got tired of laughing he seriously asked for her forgiveness, Roshni turned her head other side

(Forgive me,)

"Roshni please,"

"Ek shart pe," she slowly said and looked at him from corner of her eyes, Affan nod his head telling her to continue

(On one condition,)

"aap hume yaha se flowers torne denge," Affan looked at her like she has asked for his kidney then he longingly looked at his flowers

(You'll let me pluck flowers,)

"Theek Hai lekin Kabhi Kabhi sirf," it was hard to get these words out from his mouth

(Okay! But only for few time,)

"Jab bhi humara Mann karega,"

(Whenever I want,)

"Tum ab galat Kar rahi ho," he said making Roshni laugh

(You are being unfair,)

"Aap kitne possessive Hain inn flower ko leke," in between her laugh Roshni said

(You are so possessive of flowers,)

"Kya?" She stopped laughing when she saw Affan looking at her

(What?)

"Main tumhe aise hi khush rakhna chahta Hoon please mujhe ek chance to do," cupping her cheeks Affan said

(I want to keep you happy this way,)

"Aff.....Affan..."

They both jerked away when someone clear their throat

"Dadu! Apki timing bohot galat Hai," Affan whined

(You have very bad timing,)

"Achha! Warna Kya karne wale the tum? Roshni yeh tumhe pareshaan Kar raha Tha?" Yawer rudely asked him then turned to Roshni with soft voice

(Otherwise what you were going to do? Roshni was he bothering you?)

"Main kaha pareshaan Kar raha Tha,"

(I wasn't bothering her,)

"Yeh Kar rahe the." Same time Roshni said

(He was,)

"Kyu? Kyu pareshaan Kar rahe the tum Meri beti ko?" Roshni went to Yawer Khan, he put his arm on her shoulder

(Why were you bothering my daughter,)

"Dadu yeh galat Hai, aap hamesha iske chakkar mein mujhe Dante Hain, Meri toh koi galti bhi nahi hoti," he complained like a five year old

(This is really wrong, I didn't even did anything)

"Main galat Kar raha hoon Roshni?" Yawer turned to Roshni who nod her head negatively while hiding her smile

(Am I being unfair?)

"Roshni ko nahi lagta ki main kuch galat Kar raha hoon," Roshni couldn't hide her smile anymore and she burst into laughter

(Roshni doesn't think so,)

Both Yawer and Affan looked at her making her feel awkward

"Hamesha aise hi khush rahiye," Yawer placed his hand on her head and blessed her

(Be happy like this,)

"I'll make sure of it," Affan said making Roshni eyes winded, Yawer looked at Affan then at Roshni

"You better be, warna phir main toh Hoon hi yaha," he warned Affan and decided to leave two kids alone

(Otherwise i am here for her,)

"Aap!" She opened her mouth to scold him but then close it also deciding to leave

(You!)

"Ab Kya gana gaunga tab manogi?" Affan grab her wrist and made her turned to him

(Will you forgive me if I sing a song,)

"Not a bad idea." She teasingly crossed her arms over her chest
