Part 4:Same day~
Razia left his room and headed towards her own. She was furious at the turn of events, she can't believe what just happened. 'How did Ghaffur got those photographs? Was he stalking her? But how does that matter now? He got what he wanted!.' She thought while sulking. Well now there was no chance for her to resettle the issue, All damage have occured and now she assimilated that she had no other option than to sign the divorce papers and leave this house.
She would shift to the house which she used only for arranging her social parties, Yes! that would be the perfect place, She decided! She knew that she has to take Zoya with herself because obviously Ghaffur was not at all willing to let Zoya stay here, in his house, with him, huh.. No chance!.
Infact Zoya was the main reason due to which her husband was kicking her out of his house. As this thought crossed her mind, her hatred for her daughter climbed a level up. She knew that now she can't bear to see Zoya's face every day and night so she sat on her bed and started thinking of some possible ways to kick Zoya out of her life. After some thoughtful minutes an idea struck her mind 'Boarding School'. She patted her own back for coming up with such a brilliant idea.
'Yes! This is the best way to Keep Zoya away from my life. I would send her to the boarding school and enjoy my life here, with Yasir in my bed, every night.' She thought.
She called Ananya in her room. "Ananya! Pack all of Zoya's belongings in the suit cases and place them in the trunk of my car until morning." She ordered as soon as Ananya entered her room. As Ananya heard her Madam, worry engulfed her heart 'What is she upto?' thought Ananya.
"Is she going somewhere?" Ananya asked.
"Yes! She is leaving this house with me, tomorrow." Razia answered determinantly.
"Why?" Before Ananya knew, one more question escaped her lips as an instant reaction. Razia shot her a death glare and said through gritted teeth "Jitna kaha jaye, utna karo. Zyada sawaal kerne ki zaroorat nhi hai, Samjhi?"
"Jee.. Sorry Ma'am." Ananya apologized before exiting the room.
She closed the door behind her and made her way towards Zoya's room. As she reached there, she turned the door knob but the door didn't budge. The door was locked, she figured out and already knew the reason behind it. 'Zoya must be crying due to all the scolding from her mother and maybe she's asleep now.' Ananya thought and instead of knocking the door she brought the room keys and unlocked the door smoothly, making sure that she doesn't make much noise and disturb Zoya. She entered the room and saw Zoya laying on her bed. She neared her and covered her up with the bed covers. She smiled at Zoya's sleeping position, Zoya was hugging her knees securely and her face was buried in the small space between her abdomen and her knees. Ananya sat beside Zoya and combed Zoya's silky hair with her hand, She was hell worried about Zoya, She didn't know where Razia was taking her? And the thing which worried her the most was 'How would Zoya react to all of this?'
"Be strong my child, Face strongly whatever comes to you" She said to a sleeping Zoya and kissed her forehead lovingly. She got up and started packing Zoya's stuff.
7 o'clock in the morning~
Zoya woke up and the first thing she saw was her Any Ma carrying some suit cases out of her room. She frowned and voiced "Hey Any Ma! What are you doing?"
Ananya turned around as she heard Zoya. "Uh-oh Zoya, How many time I have told you to say Salaam first and then talk." Ananya reminded her while walking towards her bed. Zoya smiled sheepishly and said "Asalaam O Allaikum!"
"Wa Allaikum Asalaam! Did you sleep well?" Anaya asked as she placed her hand on Zoya's head and smoothed her uncombed hair lovingly.
"Hmmm... by the way what were you doing with those suit cases?" Zoya sked casually. Ananya's face fell as she heard Zoya's question. "Last night, Madam asked me to pack all your belongings and place them in her car. So, I was just doing that." Ananya answered in a low voice.
Zoya looked at Ananya questioningly as she asked "Where am I going?"
"You're leaving this house." Ananya stated and avoided looking at Zoya's face, She knew that it would be difficult for her to control her tears if she glanced in Zoya's eyes.
"What?" Zoya mouth fell open. 'What the hell?' She thought.
"I don't know what's happening Zoe, I myself am very confused and worried."
"And what about you?, Aren't you coming with me?" Zoya asked the only thing she was worried about.
"I don't know! Madam didn't mention anything about me accompening you."
Zoya sat there, on her bed motionlessly. She was not sure what she should do. She didn't care about where her Ammi was taking her or why she has to leave this house, All she cared about was her Any Ma. She feared going any where with her ruthless Mom, all alone.
"I will not go anywhere without you, Main Ammi se keh doon gi ke main kaheen nhi jaa rahi unke saath agar aap mere saath nhi ayein gi." She told Ananya decisively as tears slipped down from her eyes. Ananya embraced her in a motherly hug and patted her head. "Don't cry Zoya, Everything's gonna be alright. We both will talk to Madam and I am sure she will not refuse. I will come with you." She said to calm down Zoya's nerves. " First you get ready then we will talk to your Ammi, Ok?" Zoya nodded, got off the bed and made her way to the washroom. As she closed the bathroom door behind her, Ananya closed her eyes while tilting her head upwards "Ya Allah meri Zoya ki hifazat kerna. Us per reham karo Ya khuda." Hot tears slipped down her eyes as she knew that there were very less chances of Razia agreeing to Zoya's wish.
______
Ghaffur woke up and smiled a calm smile. Today after so many years, he was actually happy but not completely satisfied with his life. He would be totally satisfied only after taking revenge from his daughter 'Zoya'. He remembered his plan of seperating Zoya from her nanny, her Any Ma. He was aware of the bond Zoya shared with Ananya and how much she was attached to Ananya. So, he knew that seperating Zoya from her nanny would be the best revenge and punishment for Zoya.
He went to the lounge when Khalid informed him about the Lawyer's arrival.
"Asalaam O Allaikum, Yousaf! " He greeted the Lawyer while stretching out his right hand for a hand shake.
"Wa Allaikum Asalaam, Farooqi Sahab." Yousaf (lawyer) greeted him back while shaking his hand with Ghaffur's. They both sat down on the sofas when Ghaffur questioned "So, Are the papers ready?"
"Yes!" Yousaf replied while taking the papers out of some file. He forwarded the papers towards Ghaffur and Ghaffur held them. He took a sharp look at the papers and called out Khalid's name loudly.
Khalid came in the lounge fleetly with a cup of tea in his hands for Yousaf. He placed the tea cup on the table in front of Yousaf and then stood straight, expecting Ghaffur to order him something. "Call Razia in the lounge." Ghaffur oredered. Khalid gave him a small nod before making his way towards Razia's room.
After a few minutes, Razia entered the lounge and saw Ghaffur and the lawyer engrossed in some conversation. She stepped forward confidently, She didn't care about her marriage with Ghaffur anymore. She was completely ready to sign the papers.
As Ghaffur saw her walking in, he said "The papers are here."
"Asalaam O Allaikum" Yousaf greeted Razia.
"Wa Allaikum Asalaam! Kahan sign kerna hai mujhe?" Razia ignored Ghaffur completely and talked to Yousaf.
Yousaf glanced at Ghaffur once before pointing on the paper "Here" He guided Razia.
Razia bent down to sign the papers.
