Many days passed in silence, Nayab was noticing some changes in Taimoor's behavior, he was turning cold and distant, not only from her, but from Qirat too. Last week, he forgot to attend the parent-teacher meeting in Qirat's school, which he never did before. Nayab couldn't understand how to ask him the reason. While on the other hand, Taimoor and Daneen were meeting each other daily, many times in his office and many times in restaurants or cafes. They were becoming close, just like before, as if nothing happened between, as if Taimoor didn't have a wife and daughter at home. All that matter to him was Daneen, and only Daneen.
Silent lingers between them as they have their breakfast in silence. Nayab was helping Qirat finish her french toast, while Taimoor was having juice and omelet. From time to time, he would raise his eyes and glance at Nayab, like he wanted to say something but didn't know how to.
The continuous ringing of his phone irked him. Picking his phone from the table, he looked at the screen.Daneen Calling... This made his brows knitted in perplexed.Before Daneen could say anything, Taimoor demanded. "I want to meet you.""Uh? Okay, I am in my office, if you want, we can meet in the cafe..." Daneen suggested."I am coming," Taimoor said and disconnected the call.•••Nayab was packing her stuff rashly, she didn't care to fold her clothes neatly, whatever comes in her hands, she threw it in her suitcase. Her vision was getting blurry because of her tears, which she was trying to hold. She did not want to cry, but she was a wom
The silent room of the dining area was filled with the only sound of cutlery hitting each other, Finally, Anupriya decided to break the silence and called her only son."Dayyan!""Yes, mom?" Averting his eyes away from his breakfast to his mother, Dayyan asked, giving all his attention to his mother."Tomorrow, we have to attend Ishra's wedding, make sure you don't have any important work tomorrow. And you too." Informing Dayyan about the schedule of the day after tomorrow, she looked at her husband and told him too."I'll make sure of it," Dayyan nods his head, and once again turned to his breakfast."And I have told Mr. Kapoor for your suit, you also call him and tell him what kind of
The day of wedding * "Come, I'll introduce you to Tara's mother." Anupriya's sister, Anjumand said. Tara was the girl whom Anjumand was talking about for a month. According to Anjumand, Tara was a perfect match for Dayyan. She has told so much about Tara that now Anupriya was excited to meet her. She has seen the picture of Tara, and indeed she was beautiful but beauty is not what matters right now. "Mrs. Ali, meet my sister Anupriya I have told you about her..." Anjumand introduces the two women. They exchanged formal greetings, Anupriya and Mrs. Ali started talking about some random things, Anurpiya noticed that Mrs. Ali was more interested in knowing how muc
After telling her sister everything about Maya, Anjumand said. "Come, I will introduce you to Maya's mother."When Anupriya told her that she liked Maya, Anjumand got really excited.Maya was Ishra's best friend, and lucky for Anupriya that even Maya's mother was looking for a suitable boy for Maya."Maya is the only daughter of her parents, she has two brothers, and her father is dead," Anjumand informed her while they make their way where Maya's mother was seated with her daughter-in-law.Anupriya truly felt like Maya is the one for her Dayyan. The way Maya was simply standing away from the crowd, her somber dressing sense, and her graceful voice.Anupriya kept her hope high this time.
Flashback* Ahmed Nawaz was in his cabin, working on his laptop when he heard noises coming from outside. He thought of ignoring it when someone barged into the office. "At least listen to me." Dayyan's pleading voice came as he entered the cabin. But what shocked Ahmed wasn't Dayyan coming to his cabin, neither it was Dayyan's guilty posture. What truly stunned Ahmed Nawaz was a young girl who entered the cabin with Dayyan. Clad in denim jeans shirt and black trousers, the girl's main highlight were her loud red lipstick and a determined expression on her face. Ahmed got up from his chair, confusingly.
Present Day*The meeting was done, Ahmed Nawaz and Dayyan entered his cabin after bidding goodbye to their client."Dad, can I ask you something?" Closing the door of the cabin, Dayyan asked.Ahmed Nawaz only nods his head as he sits down, and picks the receiver to order two cups of coffee for them."How do you know mom's likes and dislikes so well?" Dayyan asked as he unbuttoned his blazer, and sat down.This question was nagging him for a period, he never knew his father knows his mother that well. From childhood, he has only seen his brother instructing his father, and his father doing the complete opposite of what she says.
Looking into the small mirror which hanged on the broken window of her room, she made two side braids of her hair and quickly got ready for her school. "Amma, I am going." Properly wearing a scarf on her head, she left her room, calling for her mother but stopped on the way when she saw her father entering the house. "Abba! My teacher was asking for fees." Soni told her father on the door. She did see the tired face of her father, and it ache her heart, but the words of her teacher were still fresh in her mind that if fees won't be submitted on time, she won't be allowed to attend her classes. "When is the last day to submit the fee?" Akhtar Muneer was now sitting on a wooden chair as his wife passed him a glass of water, he asked, tiredness and grief were visible in his voice.
"I want your homework on my desk tomorrow, or I won't let you enter the classroom." Strictly, Subh-Dil said to her student. One week ago, Subh-Dil asked all of them to write an essay on global warming, but this student keep making excuses for not turning up her essay and Subh-Dil decided to be strict with her now. "Yes, ma'am!" The meek voice of the student came as her head was bowed down. "You can go now." Subh-Dil dismissed her. Nodding her head, she quickly left the classroom. "Why so serious?" Usman, who was present there in the classroom, and witnessed Subh-Dil's harsh behaviour with the student, asked, jokingly. Subh-Dil, whose mood was off, didn't bother to reply, and le
