Chapter 4

Naushad could see the blood drained out of Meher's face! He notices how she is trying to resist her shivering. He finds it weird. Even if she is into a relationship and have stepped one step ahead in the relationship but why is she afraid of getting caught by him to this extent? He understands what was brewing up between them! But that's okay if she has finally got someone to be with. After all nothing has been exchanged verbally between them. But who are you kidding Naushad? Even if nothing has been exchanged verbally, but does that give her the freedom to get away from the silent and secret relationship that she shares with you?

Your relationship with her was based on 'trust', 'faith' and 'belief'!

Arwa broke your trust, faith and belief and you hate her to the core today. Meher today did the same but here you are sitting like a fool making her to understand that that's fine to love someone else after giving hope to someone already that you have feelings for him?

How according to you Meher differs to Arwa now?

"Doc... Dr. Rizvi... main...",


Meher begins nervously her eyes glued to the packet under his hand.

Suddenly she remembers everything and gets an anxiety attack.

"Doc... Dr. Mirza... are you... Meher... kya hua...??",


asks Naushad, his broken words reflect his tensed and nervous state at this moment, concerned about Meher's well being.

He gets up and tries to hold her to help her get relaxed but she shrugs off his hand with a jerk!

This comes as a surprise for Naushad.

"Don't... don't touch me...",


says Meher, as her whole body goes through shivers as he touches her. Her heartbeat increases all the more. Her muscle cells of her arms contracts out of fear of his touch! She goes through the state of anxiety, never looking towards Naushad out of nervousness.

Naushad submits to her demand and stops himself from going closer to her. But his eyes constant on her to make sure that she is fine.

"I... I need to go... I am sorry!",


saying so she gets up but her eyes fall on the packet produced by Naushad. It makes her feel dizzy. Before she could walk few steps, she collapses on the floor.

"Meher...!",


shouts Naushad in horror and gets down to her.

All others in the canteen crowd around Naushad and Meher.

"It's.. it's okay...! Aap log please bheed mat lagayiye. Get back to your work, now!",


orders Naushad.

All giving nervous looks to both Naushad and Meher leave.

Tensed Naushad takes Meher's right hand in between his palms and rub it vigorously to get her back into senses, staring her with knitted brows, anxious to get any sign of her getting back to senses. But alas! he gets none!

He gets up and quickly shoves the packet of contraceptive into his pocket. Getting down back, he picks her into his arms and quickly walks towards an empty bed in the hospital.

All passersby stare them - few in horror; few in disbelief; few find it romantic and gets assured that they surely share a bond which is more than friendship!

Unaware of their thoughts; unconcerned about the thoughts of the people around them, Naushad with full grace and confidence, yet nervousness intact for Meher, walks towards a room where he places her onto an empty bed. All patients get worried and concerned on discovering their favourite Dr. Meher Didi occupying a bed along side theirs!

Doing so, Dr. Naushad asks for a stethoscope, shouting,

"Stethoscope!"


Not having patience, he shouts again, raising his voice, never looking away from Meher,

"Stethoscope, quick!"


One of the doctors standing there, quickly and nervously extends his stethoscope. Not caring to know who gave him the stethoscope, never looking away from Meher, Dr. Naushad puts the stethoscope into his ears and starts checking her heartbeat.

Having done that, he warns all,

"Koi bheed nahi lagayega yahan!",


and quickly leaves for his cabin to get an injection.

Returning back as fast as he could, he fills the injection with the required medicine and injects it into Meher's arm.

Having done that he orders all to leave and tells them that he shall stay with her until she gets back into senses.

As they leave, Naushad again turns back towards Meher with knitted brows. He slowly holds her wrist and examines it. He did notice the bruises while injecting her, but he chose to stay quiet in front of all!

The anxiety attack! Her refusal to stay around him! Her constant resisting him! He isn't a fool to not understand what these symptoms lead to! After all he is a doctor and has gone through these situations ample times. But when it comes to your dear ones you tend to ignore what the symptoms are leading towards, out of fear. But truth is truth! Nothing can change it!

He slowly raises his eyes from her bruised wrist to her face. He remembers how she was trying to hide her face with her hair. He found it odd! Is there something hidden there? His heart starts beating frantically. He understands this won't turn out to be a pleasant surprise, rather a painful one, really painful!

Holding his breath, his brows knit together, Naushad slowly takes his hand towards her face and with his right hand's index finger removes her hair off her face! And what he discovers shocks him!

What are these bruises for? The one on her face is much deeper than the bruises in her wrist. His heart contracts as the feeling of hurt and pain surges through him!

Who did this to her? Why didn't he notice? Why didn't she tell him?

So many questions cross his mind at the same time!

'Trust'! 'Faith'! 'Belief'! have these words ceased to exist? Couldn't she trust him without worrying about all negative things? Couldn't she lay her faith in him for once? Belief, is it that difficult to believe him?


"Kyun Meher?",


he asks her, forcing the words out of his choked throat. His burning with anger eyes, staring her. Anger not only because she didn't share but towards the culprit too!

'He won't leave that bas***d!',

he promises himself; he promises her silently!

The buzzing of Meher's mobile distracts Naushad. At first he gets nervous about checking her mobile, this could be the culprit! Nervous, not because he is afraid of him! Nervous, because he doesn't know what he might end up saying to him if he checks the name of the caller! Nervous, because he doesn't know what he might end up doing if that filthy thing ever comes across him!

Calming down himself he slowly takes his hand into her coat's pocket and brings out the mobile, slowly. He checks the name flashing on the screen... Jannat calling!

Naushad exhales the breath he had been holding, on discovering the name of the caller. Shaking his head into negative, a calm smile stretches on his face. He looks towards Meher and shoves it back into her pocket without receiving it.

Doing that he leaves!

After an hour Meher wakes up. At first she feels dizzy and tries to adjust in her surrounding. As she gains her consciousness completely she realizes that she is in the hospital only, but not as a doctor but as a patient! This scares her. She gets up with a jerk and it makes her to feel dizzy again, she holds her forehead, pressing it.

Slowly she gets down and was about to walk that her phone buzzes she checks it and finds Bano's name flashing on the screen. She receives the call,

"Hello!"


"Hello Didi! Kahan thi aap? Kitne calls kiye apko. Kitni fikr ho rahi thi apki. Aap phone kyun nahi utha rahi thi?",


asks Bano in a single breath.

Her concern touches Meher's heart. She understands Bano's juzzbaatt behind this scolding. This brings a smile on Meher's face. Then slowly it vanishes as she realizes that it is this juzzbaatt only that she is afraid to disclose the truth in from of the others in her family! It was this juzzbaatt only that she chose to hide it from her sisters too! But alas! now they know it all.

"Bano! Bano! Bano! Main bilkul theek hun. Fikr mat karo.",


she says, smiling politely.

"Kaise fikr na karun? Ek to main chahti hi nahi thi ke aap aj hospital jao, aap fir bhi zid karke gayi. Kya mila apko wahan ja kar?",


she asks, pissed off.

"Sukoon!!",


says Meher, smiling, sighing.

And as she says this Naushad's face floats in front of her eyes, a sad smile stretches on her face and a knot forms in her throat.

That's true that she was being skeptical about facing him but she came to hospital today to get away from this feeling of dilemma about facing him. Now that she has finally faced him, even though it didn't turn out to be a great meeting but she is relaxed! Relaxed that now she wouldn't have to be worried about facing him. This feeling was killing her all the more. At least now the torture has slowed down. Or may be she has gotten used to his questioning eyes now!

"Sukoon?",


asks Bano, surprised.

Her voice drags Meher out of her reverie. She gets scared, how to explain Bano now?

"Matlab Di? Kis baat ka sukoon?",


asks Bano.

Nervous, Meher quickly tries to think of a reason,

"Ahmm... sukoon... sukoon iss baat ka ke ab mera dimag unn baaton par nahi ja raha. Kaam mein mann lagane ki koshish kar rahi hun."


"Oh! Acha laga ye jaan kar Didi.",

says Bano, relaxed that her sister is coping up fine.

"Acha Didi ab main phone rakhti hun. Aap apna khyal rakhna.",


says Bano.

"Haan",


smiles Meher unwillingly, and ends the call.

~*~*~


Slowly she reaches to the room where Naushad is conducting their theory class.

"And the symptoms are...",


his chain of words breaks as he realizes her presence around himself.

Naushad turns to look towards the entrance and finds Meher standing there. They stare each other. Meher's heart skips a beat witnessing that look of withdrawal in his eyes. Is he angry on her? All her classmates turn to look towards her.

She slowly gets into the room, Naushad doesn't fail to notice the way she is walking towards him. Her way of walking has changed for sure! He turns his hands into fists, controlling his anger in front of others.

With her eyes lowered, she reaches him and asks his permission to leave for home.

"Dr. Rizvi... I... I have got a call, I need to go back to home, it's urgent."


Naushad, without looking away from her even for a moment, his face expression all serious, replies,

"Theek hai Dr. Mirza, you may go!"


"Thank you.",


saying so, she looks towards him sheepishly. They stare each other for brief moments, quickly she lowers her eyes. Turning, she leaves for home.

As she exits the room, her phone buzzes she discovers it's Amaal.

"Hello"


"Hello Didi kaisi hain aap?"


"Main theek hun Amaal. Bus ghar aa rahi hun thodi der mein."


"Ghar? Itni jaldi?",


asks Amaal, surprised.

"Mera matlab ye to achi baat hai ke aap ghar aa rahi hain, par jis tarah aap zid karke aaj gayin mujhe laga aap hospital mein zada acha mehsus kar rahi hongi."


"Haan Amaal acha to lag raha tha. Par ab tired feel kar rahi hun."


This contracts Amaal's heart.

"I can understand Didi! Kuch din thodi weekness rahegi. Jaldi tired bhi ho jaoge. Chalo aap please dhyan se aana.",


smiles Amaal.

Meher feels touched by her gesture, she really has grown up!

"Ji Amaal Didi!",


mocks Meher, to relax Amaal.

Amaal does smile but still her tension persists, she smiles only for her Meher Didi.

"Khuda hafiz!",


says Amaal.

"Khuda hafiz!",


replies Meher

They end the call.

~*~*~


After ending the call Amaal calls Jannat. Jannat who was discussing Meher with Raghu, checks the name of the caller,

"Amaal?",


and looks towards Raghu.

Receiving the call she says,

"Hello!"


"Hello Jannat Didi wo maine abhi Meher Didi ko call kiya tha..."


"Meher! Kya hua Meher ko?",


asks Jannat raising her voice, getting tensed.

Hearing her, Raghu gets tensed too.

"Nahi Meher Didi ko kuch nahi hua. Wo actually ghar aa rahi hain, to mujhe laga agar aap unhe lene ja sakti to..."


"Main chali jati par yahan photoshoot mein busy hun main to...",


says Amaal honestly and apologetically.

"Tum... Tum fikr mat karo, main ja rahi hun abhi Meher ko lene!",


assures Jannat.

"Thanks Didi. Acha main rakhti hun. Khuda hafiz",


says Amaal and ends the call.

"Khuda hafiz",


replies Jannat, tensed about Meher.

~*~*~


Meher's phone rings again. She surely
is pissed off. She hasn't been able to reach the gate of the hospital too because of her slow speed and for toppings are these calls - one after the other. Not only physically but mentally too she is tired.

She checks the phone.

Jannat Calling...

She stands at a corner in the hospital, leaning against the wall and receives the call.

"Hello!",


says Meher.

"Tum ghar aa rahi ho? Tabiyat theek nahi lag rahi kya?",


asks Jannat, raising her voice out of anxiety.

"Nahi tabiyat theek hai bus thodi tired feel kar rahi hun.",


replies Meher.

"Tumne mujhe kyun nahi bataya ke tum wapas aa rahi ho? Main lene aa jati! Tum ek kaam karo tum wohin ruko main abhi lene aati hun.",


says Jannat, getting ready to leave.

"Jannat! Jannat! Please... it's okay. Main aa jaungi. Tum fizul mein itni tension le rahi ho.",


assures Meher.

"Par Meher..."


"Jannat please, main iss situation se khud larhna chahti hun. God forbids, agar tum kisi crises mein ho kya tum chahogi ke hum teeno mein se koi bhi tang ho tumhare crises se?"


"Meher lekin this is different, please..."


"Kuch different nahi hai! Mujhe please deal karne do Jannat. Dekho main janti hun ki meri behne humesha mere saath hain. Aur yakeen mano mujhe jab bhi help ki zarurat hogi main zarur bataungi tum sub ko. Par abhi let me deal with this please.",


smiles Meher, sorrowfully.

Sighing, tensed still, Jannat says,

"Theek hai Meher. Par promise ke tumhe kabhi bhi meri zarurat ho to tum zarur bataogi mujhe!"


"I promise!",


smiles Meher.

"Ahmm... Jannat... ek baat bolni thi...",


says Meher, nervously.

"Haan Meher bolo.",


Jannat gets tensed, sensing her nervousness.

"Ahmm... dekho please tension mat lena... but main tumse chupana bhi nahi chahti...",


says Meher, nervously.

"Kya baat hai Meher? Kya usne tumhe firse call kiya?",


asks Jannat, getting anxious.

"Nahi... nahi... aisa... aisa kuch nahi hai!",


assures Meher.

"Fir?",


asks Jannat.

"Jannat main... main abhi... it's like thodi tired ho gayi thi to... behosh ho gayi thi...!",


confesses Meher, shutting her eyes, holding her breath.

"Meherrr!!!",


exclaims Jannat.

Raghu gets tensed too. Jannat assures him that she can handle this as for now.

"Meher! Tum... tum wahin rukko main abhi aa rahi hun.",


says Jannat sternly.

"Nahi Jannat it's okay! Tum..."


Meher gets intervened by Jannat,

"Main kuch nahi sunn rahi. Jab tak main wahan na aa jaun, tab tak tum kahin nahi ja rahi. That's an order Meher!",


saying so Jannat doesn't waste time and ends the call.

"Jan...",


Meher begins but soon hears the beep sound, Jannat has ended the call already!

~*~*~


Soon Jannat reaches the hospital and the first one she collides with is none other than Dr. Rizvi.

"Hello!",


Jannat smiles politely.

"Hi!",


smiles Naushad, politely.

"Miss Mirza aap yahan?",


he asks.

"Haan wo... Meher ko lene ayi thi!",


she smiles.

That makes Naushad tensed.

"Dr. Meher ko? Wo gayi nahin abhi tak?",


asks Naushad, astonished not in a pleasant way.

"Haan... haan wo maine hi usse mana kiya tha. Darasal main yahin paas hi mein kisi kaam se ayi thi, to socha Meher ke saath hi wapas laut jaungi. Mujhe kaam mein thoda time lag gaya to... wo wait kar rahi hogi mera.",


Jannat makes an excuse.

Naushad stares her, smiling.

"Jannat, apno ke liye jhoot bolna achi baat hai. Par kisi galat baat par parda dalna, ye acha nahi hai!",


says Naushad, shaking his head into negative, staring Jannat throughout.

Jannat lowers her eyes. She has always found Naushad a good person. She accepts what he said is true!

"Please take care of her!",


he says looking into Jannat's eyes.

Jannat could read perfectly his sincerity and desperation behind those words.

Jannat gives him an assuring smile.

As the situation gets tense and awkward between them, Jannat tries to cool it down and asks,

"Aap aa rahe hain na shaam ko?",


and smiles politely.

"Ji!",


smiles Naushad politely.

"Alright aap jaiyiye. Dr. Mirza apka wait kar rahi hongi.",


he suggests politely.

Smiling, Jannat leaves.

~*~*~


On their way back to home, Jannat asks Meher,

"Dawayi li aur?"


This increases Meher's heartbeat.

"Badi... kya hua?",


asks Jannat, concerned, rubbing Meher's back.

Looking towards her Meher starts crying and hugs her tight.

"Badi... Badi kya hua? Tum ro kyun rahi ho?",


asks Jannat, tensed, trying to calm Meher down.

Getting away and relaxing a little, Meher tells Jannat,

"Dr... Dr. Rizvi ne contraceptives ke packets dekh liye!",


and Meher cries bitterly.

"Allah!",


swears Jannat.

"Isliye wo... iss tarah se baat kar rahe the!!!",


says Jannat, remembering her earlier conversation with Naushad.

"Baat? Konsi baat?",


asks Meher, looking towards Jannat, surprised.

"Wo kuch keh rahe the ke 'Jannat, apno ke liye jhoot bolna achi baat hai. Par kisi galat baat par parda dalna, ye acha nahi hai!'",


says Jannat recollecting his words.

Then turns to look towards Meher in horror, and asks,

"Badi tumne unhe kuch bataya kya?"


Meher stares Jannat, widening her eyes,

"Kaisi baat kar rahi ho tum Jannat? Main unhe kaise...!! Aur waise bhi agar unhe pata chala to...",


she ends up crying again.

"Meher... Badi please ro mat!",


Jannat rubs off her tears and hugs her.

Chapter 5

In the evening all gather for Fatima's mehndi ceremony and Eid.

"Mubarak ho Junaid Saheb!",


greets Naushad reaching him wearing a cream coloured kurta-pajama and shaking hands with him.

"Thank you!",


he accepts the compliment, laughing and blushing.

"Eid mubarak!",


wishes Mr. Junaid and embraces Naushad into a warm hug.

As soon as Naushad hugs him, his eyes falls on Meher standing at a corner. He keeps staring her, his eyes reflecting his innate feelings for her. But he also notices how exhausted she looks!

Meher's eyes happen to fall on Naushad and her heart skips a beat on discovering him staring her. She manages to read his emotions transmitted by his eyes, very well. But that skips her heartbeat again and she could feel her legs turning jelly. Already having almost zero stamina and this feeling he is ushering towards her, becomes too much for her to handle. But thank goodness she manages to stand erect still, somehow!

Meher becomes the first one to lower her eyes. But that doesn't make Naushad to lower his. It was only when Mr. Junaid unwraps his arms from around Naushad that Naushad finally looks away from her.

Meher goes to her sisters and sits with them slowly and exhales, thinking that finally she can sit. The dress; the makeup although she has kept them light and minimal, but her state doesn't allow her to endure the weight of even that much and hence she is getting tired again and again in short spans.

Her eyes on their own accord go towards Naushad who according to her was looking charming. She couldn't help but take her eyes again and again towards him. Naushad senses her eyes on him and looks towards her. Their eyes meet! This skips Meher's heartbeat and she quickly lowers her eyes.



All enjoy and dance. Meher's mother drags Meher to dance despite her constant refrains. Meher stands in the middle and claps her hands as a gesture of showing her happiness but inside she feels nothing but tiredness!



Meher's mother then goes to Naushad, forcing him to dance. This she does to bring Meher and Naushad closer to each other emotionally. Naushad doesn't refrain out of politeness and hesitation, but she drags him and takes him to Meher. Doing so she goes to her other daughters.



Naushad stares Meher, smiling, lovingly. As Meher turns and discovers Naushad standing in front of her and smiling at her, her heart skips a beat and she gets another anxiety attack. This worries Naushad.

Meher gets away, Naushad follows to take care of her. They reach a secluded area.

Calling her several times from behind,

"Meher...",


he reaches her.

"It's a panic attack, just relax!",


he tells her and tries to calm her down by his words. But nothing seems to help her.

"Breath easy!",


he guides.

Unable to resist himself from helping her properly, Naushad holds her by her upper arms!



His sudden touch sends shivers down her spine. As if it's a reflex action she quickly shrugs off his hands, her breath shallow.

"Mujhe chu... chu mat!",


she orders, anxiety taking a toll on her.

Saying so she leaves quickly, getting as much away from him as possible!

As for Naushad, it wasn't easy to take the decision to touch her. The kinda relationship they share there is this constant hesitation from both the sides. But still at this moment he kept all his hesitation at bay and tried helping her. And despite doing that he got bashed by her, it broke his heart. But nevertheless he let it go. What broke his heart all the more and he couldn't let it go is - her condition!

Her resisting him affected him so much that he went back home and finished almost one full bottle of drink, thinking about her constantly! His eyes turn teary!

It's when next morning Naushad's Aapi comes and wakes him up that he returns to his senses. Freshening up they sit together in the garden outside and he dictates his story about Meher to his Aapi. He suddenly gets an idea and getting excited asks his Aapi,

"Aapi aaj shaam ko uske khala ka nikah hai!"


He requests her,

"Aap please mere saath chalengi?"


She readily agrees!

~*~*~


In the evening


They all have gala time, enjoying the nikah. Naushad steals glances of Meher, standing away from her yet in front. He notices how she is refraining from looking towards him. Why is she doing so? Is she fine? She is not well still, he could make out by her appearance but is that bad? Why is she not discussing it with him? All these thoughts frustrate Naushad.

Fine! If she doesn't want to talk, then be it that way but he wants to talk to her! Therefore, he'll take the initiative to reach her and talk.

Reaching her from behind, he takes her by surprise and whispers to her,

"Kya hum do (2) minute baat kar sakte hain?"


She gets frustrated. This was the last thing she wanted to do - talk to him!

Knowing that he won't listen to her denial, she obliges and walks with him to get done with this!

Getting to a secluded area, Meher requests him, yet showing herself to be stern,

"Please mera peecha karna band kijiye!"


Naushad doesn't mind it as if he hasn't heard her at all and keeps staring her without blinking.

"Kabse mujhe ghur rahe hain!",


she accuses him, looking towards him.

"I am sorry main...",


begins Naushad staring her still, then lowers his eyes for fraction of seconds then look back towards her again and continues,

"...main koshish kar raha hun!"


"Iss tarah mera peecha karna... mujhe ghurna... mujhse baat karne ki koshish karna... please stop it!",

she says, looking away, showing herself to be literally fed up of him.

"Kya baat hai Meher?",


he finally asks!

"Main... main ye seh nahi pa rahi!",


she manages to say through her choked throat.

"Please... mujhe akela chor dijiye!",


saying so she walks to leave that his question arrests her at her place,

"Kaise?"


Sighing, he continues,

"Meher maine kayi saal iss khauf mein... iss darr mein guzare hain ke main kahin dubara khud ko na kho baithun!"


Walking towards her, he says,

"Zindagi ne jo zakhm diye, maine kabhi unhe bharne nahi diya."


"Unn zakhmon par koi malham na laga de isliye kabhi kisi ko kareeb aney ki ijazzat hi nahi di!",


he says, walking past her and standing a little forward to her.

"Phir... tum mili! Aur na jane kahan se uss darr se ladne ki mujh mein taqat ki aa gayi",


he confesses without looking towards her, standing adjacent to her but maintaining distance.

"Sirf tumhari wajah se!",


he confesses.

This touches Meher's heart she shuts her eyes and bends her head, controlling her tears.

"Meher... main khud ko rok nahi pa raha hun!",


he confesses, feeling the anxiety again, never looking towards her.

Meher wipes off the drop of tear that escaped her eye.

Facing Meher, he says confidently,

"Shayad rokna hi nahi chahta!"


Meher looks towards him and with that one look unknowingly she puts in front of Naushad her innate feelings for him!

"Main janta hun main ab tak bohot hi batsaluk, badmizaj, arrogant, khadoos insaan ki tarah se pesh aya hun... lekin, kya tum mujhe ek mauka de sakti ho? Taki main bhi tumhare zehn mein wohi khoobsurat jagah bana sakun, jo tumne mere dil mein bana di hai?",


he says, staring her throughout.

Meher feels uncomfortable throughout!

"Bus ek mauka... please Meher! Aur haan koi zabardasti... koi obligation nahi hai...",


Naushad makes it clear.

Meher intervenes,

"Main... main iss waqt iss sawal ka jawab dene ke halat mein nahi hun, please.",


she says, looking towards him, rubbing off her tears.

Before he could say anything, she turns and begins to leave.

"Meher...",


he calls after her but she doesn't stop.

He walks after her, chasing her. He calls again,

"Meher..."


They reach in the ground where the party is going in full swing.

"Meher please meri baat sunno!",


he calls her.

Meher stops and turns to look towards him and in a hushed voice tells him,

"Dr. Rizvi aap samajh kyun nahi rahe hain? Kuch taqleefein hain jinka apse koi taluqat nahi hai!",


saying so she turns to leave that Naushad speaks up again,

"Tum kisi aur ko chahti ho!",


he says more than asks!

This makes Meher to turn and look at him. This comes as a shock for her!

"Ji???",


she asks, shocked.

"Ji nahi!",


she looks straight into his eyes.

"Bilkul bhi nahi!",


she says confidently, her eyes still into his!

He accepts that and asks politely,

"To fir kya dikkat hai?"


Meher decides to throw light on the issue. If not everything but something she can always share with Naushad!

Hesitantly, lowering her eyes, she tells him,

"Ek... ek waqt tha jab meri zindagi mein koi tha!"


Naushad hears her patiently.

"Lekin wo khatam ho chuka tha!",


she assures him.

"Par..."


Naushad intervenes,

"Par shayad, uss kitab ke kuch panne dobara khule hain."


Meher gets nervous, he is taking it all wrong. She tells him,

"Nahi... aisa nahi hai..."


But someone's voice intervenes her!

"To ye hain apki marham!"


Meher turns to know who said that.

As soon as she turns not only the speaker but the listener - Meher too gets shocked on witnessing each other! Blood drains out of Meher's face!

"Aapi... a...",


Naushad blushes.

But what comes next shocks him!

"Tum???",


says Naushad's sister, her brows knit together. Through her expression it is clear that she is not at all happy finding Meher there! Especially because her brother is considering her to be his beloved forever!

It comes as a shock for Meher too! Not only her presence but her husband's presence there too, standing behind Naushad's aapi!

It's none other than the culprit who is behind Meher's current state - Irfan!

"Aap dono ek dusre ko jante hain?",


asks Naushad, feeling relaxed and elated.

"Bohot achi tarah!",


says Naushad's Aapi, glaring Meher head to toe.

This surprises Naushad!

"Mere shauhar kafi nahi the tumhare liye? Jo ab tumhari tabahi nazar humare bhai jaan par bhi daal rahi ho?",


accuses Naushad's Aapi.

Meher endures all the insult, bowing her head.

"Aapi!",


scolds Naushad, trying to stop her from saying so.

Walking forward, Naushad scolds her further, keeping his voice low, but anxiety high,

"Kya keh rahi hain aap?"


Then she turns to address her husband standing behind him,

"Aur aap? Isliye yahan aney ke liye itne bechain ho rahe the? Iske liye?",


she scolds him.

Naushad stares his Aapi confused and disbelieved.

"Zahir si baat hai ye zaleel kissa Aligarh University mein khatam nahi hua!",


accuses Naushad's Aapi.

This makes Naushad to turn and look towards Meher and he finds her standing there bowing her head, guilt visible in her eyes.

Turning back to address Naushad, her Aapi drags a shocked Naushad's attention by saying,

"Nahi bhaijaan, ye nahi! Iss daldal se aap durr rahiye!"


Meher of course feels humiliated and offended.

Naushad turns again to look towards Meher in utter disbelief! Why is she not protesting? - he wonders.

"Iska koi zameer nahi hai.",


adds his Aapi.

Naushad finds himself in dilemma! Whom to believe and whom to disbelieve? Both are close to him. Both means so much to him.

And as if Irfan gets a great opportunity to escape from the situation without getting punished, that filthy thing shows his guts to taunt and scold Meher and hence showcasing to the world how she is the one after him and it's not the other way around! That instead of her, he is the victim! And instead of him, she is the culprit! He scolds her, taunts her,

"Khush?"


"Yahi chahti thi na tum?",


he asks her, humiliating her in front of all and showing himself to be the victim of her black magic on him!

"Humare khushi mein darar dalke khush ho?",


he asks her, loud and clear.

Meher knits her brows all the more, staring Irfan in disbelief! To what extent can this guy show his inhumane self??

"Shifrat mujhe yahan ana parha tha kyunki isne mujhe dhamkana shuru kar diya!",


lies Irfan with full confidence.

His saying lie with such confidence, irks Meher!

Pointing him with her index finger she shouts whilst crying,

"Jhoot! Ye... ye jhoot bol rahe hain!",


she addresses both Naushad and Shifrat.

Naushad turns to look towards Meher, shocked! He knits his brows all the more. His heart wants to believe her but his trust on his family is also strong! Deep down he knows Meher could never lie to him; but the thought that why would his family lie to him, makes him to fall in dilemma!

"Aligarh University ke DM ko sub kuch batane ki dhamki nahi di thi?",


he accuses her fearlessly.

This comes as yet another shock for Meher! To what more extent can this creature go to show himself innocent in front of the world?

"Kya??? Maine konsi dhamki di?",


asks Meher looking towards him, unable to believe that he actually is creating such rubbish stories!

"Balki kuch mahino se... ye mere peeche parhe hue hain!!",


says Meher, crying, looking towards Naushad and his Aapi.

"Iske phone calls maine lene band kar diye to... gunde bhej diye isne.",


says Irfan, turning towards Shifrat, showing his bruised face.

Naushad feels shattered! The life he dreamt to spend with Meher broke into pieces within moments. This wasn't what he expected the events to turn out to be like. Never!

He misinterpreted a woman again! Being a doctor the fabulous IQ level he possesses seems to be of no use today.

"Nahi! Maine aisa kuch nahi kiya hai, please mera yakeen maniye!",


says Meher, shaking her head into negative, crying, trying to make Naushad and Shifqat believe her.

"Main aap dono ko sub kuch batana chahta tha lekin isne mujhe aur mere career ko khatam karne ki dhamki di!",


Irfan doesn't stop weaving the web of his lies! His wife glares Meher.

"I was trapped!",


he adds further, trapping Meher all the more with the web of his words.

"Ye... ye sub jhoot bol rahe hain! Ek ek... ek ek labz jhoot hai!",


Meher tries to make them believe, pointing her index finger towards the culprit, crying.

Naushad stares her still unable to understand whom to believe.

"Inhone mujhe dhamkaya... Mere... Mere saath zabardasti kari hai inhone!",


spits out Meher, bearing immense hurt and pain in her heart.

This shocks Naushad all the more! The thought that he forced her, makes Naushad to stare his brother in law, shocked!

"Dr. Rizvi, Shifrat, please... mera yakeen maniye, main apse such keh rahi hun.",


she pleads them.

Pointing him with her index finger, Meher cries and says,

"Ye insaan wo nahi hai jo apko dikhta hai!"


She looks towards Naushad and says,

"Please... Dr. Rizvi aap to yakeen maniye!"


Naushad stares her with throbbing heart and unable to decide what to do, whom to believe!

"Please...",


pleads Meher, crying.

Naushad finally speaks, lower his eyes, his state is that of shock and disbelief,

"Nahi Meher...",


he shakes his head into negative, his eyes still lowered,

"Tum yakeen ke layak nahi ho!",


this he says, keeping in mind the past records of her family, whom he once considered to be low class people.

Unable to make him believe her and also unable to endure his distrust in her, all hell breaks loose and she shouts as high as she could, caring no more about the world, after all if when the trust of whom means the world to her is not trusting her, so why should she care about what the world thinks about her now?

"HE RAPED ME NAUSHAD!!!!"


"He raped me!!!",


she repeats lowering her voice out of helplessness and exhaustion.

Now this shakes Naushad to the core!!! He looks towards Irfan in utter disbelief, shocked! Irfan staring Naushad, shakes his heading into negative, indicating him that she is lying. The floor seems to slip by his feet for the second time within a short span of time. The whole world seems to be revolving around his eyes! His mind goes blank. He fails to imagine his brother in law with whom he has spent quality time, can do this to anyone... to Meher...! He slowly looks towards his Aapi, and finds her eyes reflecting her disbelief in Meher.

With a throbbing heart; his eyes brimming with tears, he again looks towards Meher, shocked!

"Abhi do (2) din bhi nahi hue hain! Iss aadmi ne... apne hi kamre mein... iss... jaanwar ne mere saath kya kiya hai!!!",


cries Meher, it takes all her physical and mental strength; courage, to spit out these words in front of the world; in front of her family; in front of Naushad!

At this moment seeing Meher going weak, her family runs to her and her mother hugs her,

"Meherrr...!!"


Irfan, the culprit who has no shame in him, still shows his guts to retort back and make all believe that it's Meher who is at guilt,

"Ek aurat ho kar itni gir sakti ho Meher? Ki apni izzat bhi neelam kar di?"


"Tum jaisa galeez insaan hi izzat ki neelami ki baat kar sakta hai!",


retorts back Jannat, staring straight into his eyes.

By then their Khala too with her husband reach there to witness all this.

"Aur isse kisi gundo ne nahi mara tha, maine mara tha!",


Jannat makes it clear, without any hesitation or regret, what so ever!

"Apni behn ke liye, jo ki bohot kam tha!",


she shouts, feeling the adrenaline rush. As if if Irfan speaks a word further she might end up beating him to death!

While they all indulge in this fight, Naushad hearing everything quietly, finally speaks up, getting into a decision.

"Ainda mere khandan ke kareeb koi nahi jayega!",


his eyes lowered but determined! His voice too reflects his determination. His unwavering voice tells how nothing can change his decision!

Meher's mother glare Naushad.

"Mera dawa bilkul sahi tha! Mirza khandaan ki makkari se mujhe yahi umeed thi!",


says Naushad, spitting venom through his words, never looking towards Meher and her family.

At this Meher's mother leaves Meher, glaring Naushad throughout. And slap him tight across his face! Her anger is not only because Naushad talked ill about her family but also because he broke her trust in him. She considered him to be a good man and was looking forward to an alliance between Meher and Naushad. Nothing hurts the most than breaking of trust!

Trust has been broken on either sides! According to Naushad, Meher - a Mirza girl, broke his trust and according to Meher's mother, Naushad broke her trust!

"Khabardar!",


she warns him.

"Iss paaq bachi par ilzaam lagane ki na to kisi ki haisiyat hai aur na kisi ka haq!"


Naushad lowers his eyes feeling ashamed and out of respect for Meher's mother. How much he might say ill about Mirza women, but deep down he does respect them all!

This decision he took out of the feeling that he has been betrayed yet again by the one he dared to love again! His broken heart is making his thoughts irrational.

When his family talks ill about Meher he gets inclined towards them, thinking - why would his own family lie to him? And when Meher's family make him learn that he is no one to say ill about them, he gets inclined towards them, thinking - no one would dare to slap someone in front of all if she is not confident about herself and her dear ones!

Can we blame him for thinking so? A person whose heart has been broken by his own wife, went aloof and started hating all the feelings that ushered him to the feeling of love; loathe all fluttery feelings that love gives oneself. Like a breeze Meher entered his life without knocking, and sprinkled the fragrance of love. The freshness of her, despite being vulnerable herself gave Naushad hope to love and be loved again! It wasn't easy for him to take this step; to allow his heart to go to a direction which he has abandoned long ago. But she made him to change his thoughts regarding love! And now that he has finally believed her; hell he has even confessed about it, suddenly he gets the second big shock of his life, first being - his wife betrayal, Meher has betrayed him too! Where does the difference lie between Meher and Arwa now?

Why should he forgive her when he hasn't forgiven Arwa ever? Women are all same - characterless! A woman does not understand the juzzbaatt of the man who loves her! They just know to play with the juzzbaatt of others, especially when it comes to Mirza women!

At this moment juzzbaatt of everyone present there is overflowing. The Mirza family's juzzbaatt is that of hatred towards Naushad, well truth be told it's way more than their hatred towards Irfan! Because they had put Naushad at a high place in their hearts and he with his few words shattered everything!

Naushad's sister's juzzbaatt is of hatred too towards Meher!

Naushad's juzzbaatt is of betrayal from Meher's side.

Meher's juzzbaatt is of betrayal too! Naushad doesn't trust him! How could she expect his faith and trust on her? How? Why did she give him high importance in her life? Why?

As much difficult was it for Naushad to lay trust on Meher, after his wife's betrayal, it was difficult for Meher too to trust another man after  facing a severe heartbreak herself!

Meher's whole family reach her!

Her mother shouts,

"Aur aap subko sharminda hona chahiye subko!"


Meher cries bitterly, hiding behind her mother.

"Jannat, apno ke liye jhoot bolna achi baat hai. Par kisi galat baat par parda dalna, ye acha nahi hai!",


says Jannat.

All turn to look towards her.

"Yahi bola tha na apne?",


asks Jannat, standing in front of Meher.

This shocks everyone! Meher stares Jannat knitting her brows, unable to understand what is she talking about.

Naushad stares Jannat, shocked!

"Meher ne apse koi jhoot nahi bola. Haan baat chupayi thi kyunki kisi aurat ke liye ye asaan nahi hota ke wo apne bitter past ke barey mein itni easily bata de.",


retorts Jannat.

"Par apne kya kiya? Jhooti humdardi dikhayi? Aur ab jab suchhai apke samne ayi aur apke khandan ka koi gunehgar bann kar samne aya to apka bharosa Meher par se ek minute mein uth gaya?",


asks Jannat, confidently.

Naushad stares her, not blaming her for saying so. Each word of this incident is making him to ponder into the situation all the more!

"Dr. Rizvi mujhe pehle afsos hota tha ke apni biwi ne aap jaise ek ache insaan ko chor diya."


At this Naushad knits his brows all the more, hurt.

"Par ab mehsus ho raha hai ke galti apki biwi ki nahi hai, galti apki hai, aap kisi par bharosa karna seekh hi nahi paye shayad. Kya pata apki biwi khud kisi aur ke saath chali gayi ya apke shaq karne ki aadat se tang ho kar apko chor kar akele kahin aur zindagi basa rahi hai!",


shouts Jannat, without any regrets of having said that!

"Apse judi jo afwah hai that you murdered your wife! May be, may be you didn't murder your wife but this I am sure you must have murdered her feelings for you brutally!",


Naushad gets shocked by Jannat's bold words.

Meher doesn't remain unaffected too!

"Jannat!",


she scolds her.

"Seriously Badi? Tum ab bhi inka saath de rahi ho?",


asks Jannat, turning to look towards Meher in utter disbelief.

Naushad stares Meher too!

Naushad's sister takes him along with her and they leave.

Meher stares a going away Naushad, crying with all her heart! Her pain of his leaving her amidst the chaos and not staying at her side pierces her heart. She cries bitterly. Waiting for him to at least look at her for once. The more he takes the steps away from her the more her heart runs to him but she remains stuck at her place, feeling helpless! Not having courage!

Naushad turns to look at Meher, not really wanting to leave her. His heart divided into two, one shocked and hating her for his betrayal. And the other half, craving to be with her despite her betrayal! Meher crying non stop stares him throughout, pleading him through her eyes to stop and trust her!

"Janey do badi, jo tumhe itna bhi na samajh sakey wo tumhe samajhne ke layak hi nahi hai!",


says Jannat, giving strength to Meher through her words.

Unable to endure this Meher runs away crying. Her mother calls after her but Jannat asks her mother to let Meher stay alone for sometime! Her mother breaks into tears in Jannat's arms.

After sometime they get to know that there is a curfew alert and they need to leave. Meher's family gets tensed about Meher.

Chapter 6

Meher's phone rings constantly. Each call belongs to someone from her family or close people. She receives none!

She is running on a lonely long stretched road, away from everyone; everything, crying bitterly. Where she is going to, she knows not. Sometimes it feels as if Naushad is standing there at a far away distance with his arms wide open for her and she runs to him in as much speed as possible, forgetting all her pain and body ache. But the more she runs the more he seems to go far from her. Tired and breathless she stops, holding her knees she breathes heavily and cries all the more.

~*~*~


On the other hand reaching home Naushad too closes himself into his room. Constantly thinking about everything that he discovered today! Sitting on his arm chair, resting back his head he swings the chair vigorously, his eyes closed, all good moments spent with Meher flashing in front of his closed eyes. Then slowly they getting mingled with the heart wrenching moments that he just came living. Tear drops roll down his cheeks.

~*~*~


Jannat too walks alone in some other lonely road, heart broken. She could do nothing for her sister, she feels so helpless. She still has the urge to kill the monster only if it were that easy!

~*~*~


Amaal, she has no idea what turmoils are her each family member facing at this moment as she is not there with them.

While the party was at full swing she escaped that place to try her lucks in modeling again, this time, new place and with new people!

~*~*~


Coincidentally not only Amaal but Bano too was trying to escape to fulfill her dream - to become a singer. But she had no idea that this journey would be her ultimate journey!

The riots got severe and Bano - an innocent became a victim of the riot!

How easy it is, isn't it? To make someone victim just like that? Meher became a victim too! And in spite of her praying each night thereafter, that her sisters be saved from becoming victims, today it feels that either there is nothing called God that exists or her prays reached to deaf ears! Why else would God choose to ruin the life of another Mirza girl, after Meher?

~*~*~


Meher finally decides to receive the call. Where she anticipated her mother asking her where she is right now, there she gets shocked when she hears her mother crying on the phone and saying,

"Bano...!"


"Bano kya hua Bano ko?",


asks Meher, with a throbbing heart.

She cannot endure anymore secrecy!

"Ammi bataooo kya hua Bano ko??",


she shouts standing at the middle of the road.

"Bano humare beech nahi rahi Meherunissa!!!!!",


shouts her mother whilst crying bitterly!

How? Why? When? Meher doesn't have any patience and stamina to ask all that! Her phone slips off her hand out of shock! She falls down on the road, kneeling and cries loud and bitterly, looking heavenwards. She has nothing to say; nothing to complain! Because sometimes the pain; the hurt get so much that yoh go numb! Numb is exactly what Meher is right now! Exhausted and numb! What is exactly happening with her life? With their lives? - she wonders! But gets no answer!

Sometimes it happens a person with whom you share a bitter past, actually turns out to be an omen for you! Meher relates Irfan with all this.

Irfan is the omen of her life!

He ruins her life whenever he gets closer to her, period!

Reaching the hospital, Meher breaks down hugging Bano's body. Her mother and Jannat were already crying, hugging Bano's body.

Outside the hospital, Azi calls Naushad and informs him about Bano's demise! Naushad resting his head against the back of the chair, shuts his eyes and tears roll down his cheeks!

What more will life bring for him in such a short span of time?

As for Azi, he doesn't understand why despite knowing everything, he still trusts Naushad. That's the reason he called him to inform this. He knows that deep down Naushad is a good person, he is just stuck in a chaotic situation. As much as Azi is at Meher's side he is also at Naushad's too.

~*~*~


All of them reach the cremation spot wearing black! Black is what they wear at the time of death of someone.

Azi and Naushad being the closest young men to the Mirza family, help the most in performing the rituals such as digging the place where Bano's body is to cremated; then carrying the crimation box and placing it into the wide dug field.

As for the women, they stand there at a side, watching the men cremating Bano's body and they cry vehemently.

~*~*~


They all leave for their home. But Meher requests her mother to let her stay there alone for some moments. Her mother and others oblige her and leave.

Naushad stays back too!

~*~*~


Naushad reaches Meher who is sitting at the shore of the river on a big stone, staring the flowing water, hearing it. Her face gives away the emotions of nothing but - tiredness; loneliness; pathless life; aimless life. Staring the flowing river, she wonders if her life could also flow as smoothly as the river is flowing. If she could fast forward this current period of her life!

She of course senses Naushad's presence around herself but doesn't care to look towards him and keeps staring the flowing water without blinking her eyes.

"I am sorry Meher!",


he apologizes.

How can he explain to her what dilemma he is going through at this moment?

"Main ek-do din mein apna resignation bhijwa dungi. I think hum subke liye ye behtar hoga.",


says Meher, staring at the flowing river without blinking.

Naushad stares her for sometime. Then sitting on a rock opposite to Meher, such that they are looking at opposite direction, Naushad turns his head to look towards her, all serious. He knew this had to happen someday, they will have to talk! This is the time may be!

"Main apke juzzbaatt samjh sakta hun!",


he begins, showing his condolences towards her and her family.


Meher doesn't seem to be affected positively by his words. To her it sounds meaningless!


Never blinking her eyes still staring at the same point, Meher says,


"Meri behn ke mayyiat pe mujhe jhuti sympathy dene ki koi zarurat nahi hai! Aap kuch nahi samajhte!",


she states clearly.


"Jab aap ye nahi samjh paye ke mujh par kya beeti. Mera yakeen tak nahi kiya.",


her throat chokes.


Naushad hears her silently, his eyes lowered.


"Apke liye beshak wo apke behn ke shauhar honge...",


says Meher.


Anger surges through her and hence she turns to look towards Naushad with full determination and says,


"Par mere liye wo humesha ek rapist rahega!"


Take it or leave it Naushad, she doesn't care. Truth is truth! End of topic!


Taking a deep breath Naushad stares her. His heart and mind are on constant war! His heart believes her but mind doesn't! Then looks away.


Meher follows the suit too and looks away.


She says,


"Humara affair hona; ya unka shadi shuda hona, iss baat par parda nahi daal sakta..."


She looks again towards him and says,


"...that I DID SAY NO!"


By then Naushad too was looking towards her!


"I SAID NO!",


she made it clear again.


Looking away, Meher says,


"Agar aap mujhe ratti bhar bhi samjhte, to jante ki main itna ghinauna jhoot kabhi nahi bol sakti."


Laughing sarcastically, she asks,


"Aur kehke kya pa lungi?"


Naushad turns his face towards Meher and says,


"Hum dost hain Meher! Agar ye such tha to apne bataya kyun nahi?",


he asks.


"Agar??",


she asks laughing sarcastically, looking towards him.


They stare!


"Main apke ya kisi ke samne apni begunahi kyun sabit karungi?",


she asks looking away, smiling sarcastically, hurt audible through her voice.


"For justice!",


Naushad raises his voice, to make it clear, looking towards Meher.


"Karwayi hoti to baat khulne par aap subke samne jhooti nahi lagti!",


Naushad tells her.


Looking away Naushad shares with Meher,


"Meri biwi ne mere bache ki custody ke liye mujh par domestic violence ka jhoota ilzaam lagaya tha. Par main chup nahi baitha. Maine complain darj ki",


he tells her looking back towards her.


Meher looks back towards him and with determination in her eyes, asks,


"Apni biwi ke khilaf complain darj karwa ke apko kya mila? Insaaf ya badnami?"


They stare each other and Naushad says,


"Mujhe meri bachhi mil gayi!"


"Mubarak ho Dr. Rizvi!",


says Meher, sarcastically.


Then looking away, crying more, she says,


"Par mujhse... kal meri behn cheen li gayi."


Looking back towards him, she says sarcastically, crying,


"And so I am veryyy sorry!!"


"Par iss waqt mere liye mere Ammi aur Abbu ka sadma, insaaf se kayi zyada zaruri hai!",


she says, looking away, stressing on the word 'insaaf'!


"Aap khushnaseeb hai!!!... BUT I WAS RAPED!!!",


she stresses on the last few words, raising her voice.


Her words pierce Naushad's heart!!! It is still difficult for him to accept this!!!
He shuts his eyes and endures it!


Taking a deep breath, Naushad asks her, anger surging through him,

"Main kis kis par aitbaar karun Meher?"


Hearing it Meher looks away, smiling sarcastically!

"Main janta hun... kisi par aitbaar karna koi mamuli baat nahi ho sakti.",


he says, his eyes somewhere on the rocks in front of him.

"Apki soch, apke yakeen se bhi zyada mamuli hai!",


says Meher, feeling lost on witnessing his distrust in her.

Her voice turns soft, as her heart melts thinking about the old Naushad,
she says,

"Kyunki chaubis ghante pehle main apke liye khaas thi!"




(NAUHER tune begins)


Naushad slowly lowers his eyes, the old feeling that he had for her filling his heart all over again.

Getting into a decision, Naushad gets up to leave. But before leaving, he turns a little if not fully towards her, and says,

"Aap wo Meher nahi jo maine apko samjha tha!"


Meher stares up towards him with confidence and retorts,

"Afsos! Aap wohi Naushad nikle jiska mujhe shaq tha!"


Then looks away!

Staring her for sometime, Naushad sighs and turns to leave when Meher, without turning to look towards him, utters,

"I took your name Naushad...!"


Her words freeze him at his place! He turns to look towards her, shocked!

"Pata nahi chala kaise...",


she says, staring somewhere at a faraway point, her throat chokes.

Naushad could feel the adrenaline rush on his face. He stares her shocked.

"Ek baat puchun apse?",


she asks, her eyes constant at the point.

Naushad knits his brows lightly, eager to know what she wants to ask.

"Agar aaj apki behn ke shauhar ki jagah koi aur hota, to aap kya karte?"


Her question comes as a shock for him. He gets back to occupy the same rock where he was sitting previously, but this time he sits facing the same side as Meher.

He waits for some moments, staring the running water, trying to know his emotions.

"Fana kar deta usse!",


he says, his eyes still on the running water.

This skips Meher's heartbeat. Staring him she cries bitterly. Naushad stares her crying. Slowly he brings out his hanky and forwards it to her. Meher looks away out of anger. Lowering his eyes Naushad puts the hanky back into his pocket. Getting up he finally says,

"Apna aur apne parivaar ka khyal rakhiyega!",


and leaves.

Meher cries bitterly as he leaves, looking heavenwards.

sad that bano died.i didn't want her to die in your ff. very sad.nauahad meher conversation was touchy.I liked him apologising though meher was indifferent. he thinks why she didn't tell him the truth if it was true but like she said she was raped.not a domestic voilence case like naushad faced. so it's not easy for her.he should understand it.till now it was just like haq se. now the real story starts.i am curious to know how you will take their story forward .
