Najma: Ammi..ammi...where are you??
Dilshad: Najma..i am here,In my roon
N: What are you doing here ,I am searching you everywhere?album..you are seeing it again?why don't you lock it somewhere ammi.our childhood reminds you nothing except pain...
D: No najma..its asad's wedding album...
N: Then why are you crying?
D: Nothing beta...go and sleep...
N: You can share with me ammi..i am not a kid anymore...
D: I know that,you are going to marry and leave us in two months...
N: I will not leave you ever ammi.now tell me whats goingon
Dilsahd caressing asad's face ,you don't know najma asad used to refuse marriage .i was so scared that he would remain single forever.he never used to share his pain even with me...all this is because of me,he forgot the word love...I tried many times to change him but...
N: Ammi..but you never shared with me all these years...do you think I cant understand your pain?
D: No najma...we thought of keeping you happy far away from what we had experienced ,nothing else
Najma thought of lightening the situation.ammi..then why did bhaijaan agree marrying zoya?
D: I too don't know..i ve said she is brought up by her appi and jeeju as her parents were dead,the next minute he agreed.do you know najma asad not even saw zoya's photo...
N: How can I forget that ammi.najma laughing...in the airport bj and zoya fought like wild cats.thankgod I saw her photo and recognised her.if I did not reach there in time..either of them would've been hospitalised...and you know...through out the journey to our home they were glaring at eachother angrily...I thought bj will cancel the wedding..
D: Haha najma...you guessed it right...it was the first thing he talked to me after returning home.he argued with me regarding everyaspect of her..to start with her clothes, her attitude, the way she talks with her parents..it took a lot of time to convince him...can you imagine..after all the excuses he refused to marry her because she eats unhealthy food and that too messily...
N: Only bahijaan can can do that...he expects everyone to be perfect just like him...but see what god has given him??zoya...
D: Haan najma...zoya is one wonderfulful gift for asad...after what god has taken away from him.now I cant explain how happy iam considering zoya for asad...today is their wedding anniversary and in this one year zoya changed his life completely...
N: Par ammi...I still don't understand why they married.they argued even on the day of their marriage...
D: Woh sab ek bahana tha...ek doosre se baat karney keliye , ek doosre ke kareeb rehne keliye...asad is such..it is his way of expresing love...I realised this fact on the day of their engagement...I saw the happiness in his eyes when he saw zoya coming down ...the feeling that somebelong to them,the satisfaction one should experience it...you too will come to know one day...
N: You are right ammi...they don't talk to eachother directly but their actions are different.i just remembered the day when all us went to buy dresses for wedding.zoya asked me to select one from the dresses she selected.but the thing is diffeerent she is asking bj indirectly watching him through the mirror.can u imagine ammi..bj pretended as if he was talking to anwar jeeeju but he was giving his opinions about zoya's dress..i was surprised initially ...one thing is true ammi ...koi kaam nahi hai jo zoya nahi karsakte...par ammi zoya is a gift even to me...she is more than a friend .she treats me like her own sister...
D: Najma...even though asad agreed to marry zoya and he started loving her,he stiill had fear that he will behave like his father.even though I know him that is the first time he shared this with me on the day of nikah... scars of chilhood are etched permenantly on heart..this is the reason we keep these things faraway from you...
N: Woh sab chodiye ammi ...ab toh bj bohut khush haina zoya ke saath...
On the nikah day I was teasing bj that I will not let him meet zoya...when I stopped bj meeting zoya..omg I thought he will kill me...but ammi bj ne mujhe ek beautiful bangle diya...tab mein confirm karliya ki bj badal gaye...
D: Asad bhi dulhan ki tarah sharmaya zoya ke pass jaane keliye...woh to saaf mana kardiya suhaagraat ke liye...
N: Ammi...how did you convince?
D: Najma...I think they are back from dinner...go and open the door...I too wil come down...
D:Asad...how was your dinner??
Asad: Very nice ammi...it would've been better if you and najma accompanied us...
Zoya: Yes phuphi...aana chahiye tha..maine pucha tha na aapse...
D: No beta..its your anniversary...why should we spoil your time??
Z: Par phuphi...
D: more arguments...now you both retire to your room, najma you too go and sleep.we can talk later...
i am sorry if it is a waste of your time...
