Chapter 7

Zoya had no option except to just listen to the announcement or to leave the spot, and she chose the second one. However, when she was leaving Mohsin asked in the search of the root cause of this whole fiasco, "Haider, what forced you to...", he stopped for a while and continued while swallowing the blood, "...to divorce her", and a tear rolled down from his eyes.

Zoya stopped in her tracks to listen to the monster of her life, who regretted, "I was in anger, gusse mein mujhe kuch samajh nahi aata"

"Yeh bhi nahi ki tum, apni wife pe kya ilzaam laga rahe ho?", she asked her intervening with everyone and when this time Rashid objected her to raise a voice, Haider stopped him too. 

He looked at Rashid, "This is man and wife talk Abbu", and it stopped Rashid spontaneously.

Zoya being sarcastic said, "It's good to see, that the most correct MAN can argue with his always wrong so-called wife"

"I am sorry, and forget what happened", he requested but Raziya intervene while announcing, "Talaq koi mazak nahi hai ek bar diya matlab diya"

Haider shrieked out, "Why can't remain silent if it is between me and Zoya?" but Zoya took the command instantly, "And why can't you understand that those three words are not a joke"

"I want in my life", he removed the distance between them and insisted.

When the same time, Gaffur Ahmed, the uncle of Haider being the oldest one scolded, "Enough you all"

"Do you have any golden mean Bhaijaan?", Shireen logically asked.

"I am the society leader of the city, with which face I'll go in front of the society and Prophet, agar main insaaf bhi na kar saka to", announcing this he ordered Zoya to leave the house and to live with her parents. Meanwhile, he will be having any middle path, so all of them will become happy, which she and Haider agreed to.

A fortnight later, Asad was looking out of the window when he felt a touch, making him realize that it was Dilshad. She kept the dinner on his table and asked quizically, "What happened to you, Asad? Where are you lost?"

He sighed deeply, "Why it happens only to a woman? Or is it a ritual of this family to cheat?", concerned about Zoya, he connected the dots with his mother.

Dilshad smiled lamely, "You have only seen this house, Asad, look at the society, it is the picture of every lady. Jaha tumhein apnee ma nazar aayegi"

"Ammi! I assure you, it will never happen to Najma. I promise", he assured her when Dilshad kissed his forehead, "I know, you have no need to say" and continuing this she ordered, "Now sit and have dinner"

However, he was not interested in having dinner, considering something more important, which could not go unnoticed by his mother, "Kya soch rahe ho?"

"Yahi ke... Haider ke dimaag mein Mujhe aur Zoya ko lekar wo khayaal aaya bhi kaise?", Asad clenched his jaw in the wrath of the anger.

She laughed at his question, "Kyuki wo yahi soch rakhta hai", at which he nodded his head affirmatively and said, "That is why I am afraid of being married"

"Asad, this is not a solution", Dilshad objected at his decision, which was enough to confuse him, "Main samjha nahi"

Dilshad simply said, "Get married samajh jaoge"

"Nahi Ammi, marriage isn't a cup of tea for Rashid Ahmed Khan's son", he closed his tight as he felt disgusted with himself being Rashid's son.

She proudly replied, "You're my son, who has my sacraments. He can never do wrong to any woman", at which he smiled and thought, "You have to understand this soon Asad, because it is good for you", and fed him a bite.

Zoya was sitting over the window sill when her mother persuaded the second time, "Zoya, Have the dinner baccha"

 She didn't bother to look over at her mother, "I am not hungry", constantly glaring seven floors down to the floor through the window. Only one mistake could bring death to her, although, she was witnessing a dearth in her life, so she had no worries.

Zainab was frightened with the scene, "Zoya, look at me and sit here", she almost ordered her daughter.

"Apki har baat mani maine, you told me to marry Haider, I did, To leave peacefully with him I did that too, You told me to keep quiet and tolerate and then to not speak in front of the so-called in front of elders, Maine wo bhi kiya ghar bhi aa gayi, now what do you want from me?", she roared silently.

Zainab could understand her pain and agony, which she was facing too being a mother, who embraced her tight in a hug and said, "I hope, I could do anything for you"

Haider was having dinner with his family when he mentioned Zoya, "I am missing her a lot Ammi"

"Have some shame, your younger ones are sitting here", Rashid scolded him hard which forced Haider to bawl, "Enough Abbu, I am asking about the solution for this situation for two weeks and you all are simply ignoring it"

Rashid sarcastically said, "Accha ho agar solution na hi ho to"

"Bas bhi kijiye aap log...There is only one solution according to Gaffur Bhai", Shireen stopped both son and father duo and eyed Nuzhat and Amir to go and have dinner in the room.

Haider was confused, "What was that Ammi?"

"Halala", announced Shireen which shocked Haider.
