DURRANI HOUSE:
"Come on Bhabhi you can do it", Zain and Huzaifa cheered Faryal.
"Astaghfirullah, Tum dono nay apne bhai ko chorh kr party badal di (You both have left your brother side), Don't worry Zohaib I'm by your side", said Usman (Zohaib's cousin).
"keep supporting him Usman, doobtay ko tinke ka sahara (Drowning man catches the straw)", Huzaifa laughed.
"It's not like that, I'm sure Zohaib bhai will find the ring first", this time Maham (their other cousin) came in for the defense.
"Got it", Faryal announced with a tight-lipped smile and showed the ring she had found.
But in reality, Faryal was the only one who was finding it. She had already realized that his hand was not moving in the solution, not even a single move. She just played along to not embarrass herself and make the situation more awkward. Zain and Huzaifa were very well aware of the situation as well that's why they were trying to make her comfortable.
Zain took a rose from the vase, sat down on his knees, forwarded his hand in front of Faryal, and said with a cheeky smile, "Hey beautiful! Will you be my sister?"
Before Faryal could say anything Huzaifa dived in.
HERE WE GO AGAIN!ð
"Huh, attention seeker. Zain she does not need another brother she already has me", Huzaifa rolled his eyes.
"No way, you can not be her brother. I am the one who wanted a sister", Zain replied, seething in anger.
"Okay thanks for reminding me my sweet brother I do have a sister, you were the one we always considered as a sister, did you forget? let me remind you those frocks and clips mom used to dress you up with", Huzaifa winked.
Zain's face turned red from embarrassment and he whined," Bhaiii stop lying in front of everyone".
"You know who is lying, stop throwing fits like a kid", Huzaifa replied with a chuckle.
"I'm not a kid, you are lar Bhai", Zain huffed making everyone burst into a fit of laughter.
Faryal looked at them with an amused smile, her eyes sparkled with gratitude, and nodded her head positively to Zain after taking the rose.
"Come on, bring the mirror now", Zohaib's Tayi Ammi said. His Mom placed the mirror at the table and urged them to look at it.
"Both of you are behaving like kids let me handle you guys now", Maham said when none of them looked in the mirror.
She came forward held their faces in her hands and forced them to look at each other's reflections.
Faryal felt a cold shiver ran down her spine the moment she held his gaze. There was an unknown spark in his eyes which terrified her even more. After few seconds he took a deep sigh and looked away.
Both of them were still surrounded by the relatives when his mom came towards them carrying Zahra, she moved in Faryal's direction and said while handing Zahra to her "your daughter".
Faryal's face lit up with joy, she moved forward to take Zahra. But before she could take her Zohaib stood up from his place, hurriedly. He took Zahra from his mother and said " Mom Zahra will be tired, I'll take her to the room now".
Before anyone could say anything he had already left the place. Everyone looked towards Faryal and Saba (his mom).
After some time his mother took Faryal to Zohaib's room. Faryal sighed in relief upon finding the room empty. Aunty made her sit on the bed comfortably, took Faryal's hand in her hand, and said, "Beta I'm sorry for Zohaib's behavior. The trauma he has been suffering through for few months had broken him. I can assure you he is a good man just give him some time dear".
Faryal placed her other hand on the aunty's hand and said in a calm tone,"No aunty please don't say sorry. You are like my other. You don't have to apologize, I can understand".
"You consider me your mother and still call me aunty, huh?", She replied with tear-filled eyes. "Call me mom, I'm your mom too", she added.
"Mo..m", Faryal said and hugged her.
Mom knew that Zohaib was in the guest room but could not do anything.
Later on, mom went back, leaving her alone. The silence and loneliness were frightening her. She stared at her hands, the henna has left quite a dark stain especially his name, ZOHAIB.
She stood up from the bed, took her night suit from the suitcase, and entered the washroom to take shower. After taking the shower she dried her hair with a towel, wrapped the dupatta around her head, and offered namaz-e-Isha.
The namaz eased her jumbled emotion. After some time she took out her mobile from the purse, talked with Baba Jan, and assured him that she is totally fine.
She was missing her family, a lot. On the other side, she also experienced the feeling of being rejected and ignored by someone for the first time in her life. With these thoughts, she drifted into a deep slumber.
NEXT MORNING:
"Shhh, it's alright Zahra! look we are done." Zohaib said lovingly in a low voice to her after putting on her shoes.
He picked up Zahra and went downstairs.
Zain, Huzaifa, dad, and Faryal were sitting in the lounge. Whereas the guests were having breakfast in the dining area as they were about to leave Durrani's house.
"Zohaib beta come, have breakfast with us", mom said as she entered the lounge and her eyes fell on fully dressed up Zohaib who was coming downstairs.
"No mom I'm getting late", He replied with a blank face.
"Where are you going?", this time dad asked.
"For work", He replied.
"How can you leave for work today, you just got married yesterday Zohaib", dad said with a deep frown on his forehead. "And you are taking Zahra with you as well?", He added.
Zohaib took a deep breath nodded his head and left after saying "Allah Hafiz".
All this time he didn't look at Faryal, not even for a second. On the other side, Faryal glanced at him and then stared at Zahra with a longing look.
Mom and dad exchanged a worried look but kept quiet.
"Saleem bhai kindly pick up Zahra's bag from the guest room and keep it in my car", Zohaib said to the house help very politely and left the house.
Faryal narrowed her eyes in confusion over the fact that a few minutes back he was not ready to even listen to his family and now the other moment he is showing his manners.
"Split personality disorder", she muttered and took a deep breath.
"Did you say something?", Huzaifa asked in concern.
"Split personality disorder", Zain said pointing his fingers towards Faryal, "you said it aloud", He mouthed.
"Excuse me!", Huzaifa replied faking anger. "My brother is a good man", he added to which Faryal and Zain started laughing.
*****
Faryal was looking at the pictures of Zohaib and Ayza hung on the wall of his room.
"They look so happy and beautiful together", She thought.
She knew he needs time, A LOT OF TIME but was also dreading the moment he would confront her. Everything was new to her, the family, house, relationship, and especially the feeling of being scared and rejected by someone.
She was engrossed in her thoughts when a knock on the door brought her back to the present.
"Yes..Come in", She said
"Faryal ma'am I am here to shift your belonging to the other room", said Nadia baji (house help).
"Shift?", Faryal did not get the point.
"Yes, Zohaib sir has told me to shift your belongings to the guest room", Nadia baji replied.
"ooh..kay", Faryal replied with an embarrassed sigh. She packed up her stuff and shifted it with the help of Nadia baji, to the guest room adjacent to the Zohaib's room.
The guest had already left the Durrani house already, so she did not need to pretend anything now.
Mom and dad were angry but they knew for a time being it is best to let him do the things his way because he won't listen.
The family had their dinner together except Zohaib who was not back yet. Faryal has prepared kheer with the help of mom. Amma Jan has taught her a few days back but she was still hesitant to try it out all by herself.
After the dinner, they called it a night and went back to their rooms.
