" Azaan tum yaha kya kar rahe ho ? "
Shabbir's stern voice woke him up. Azaan slowly opening his eyes and he stretched his neck and said,
" Good morning. "
Jamshed angrily glared at his son and yelled,
" Good morning ke bachche - "
" Bhai rukiye, woh dekhiye ko Azaan ke haath me chot. "
Sameena's words stopped them and they all, at once, looked at his hand. The bandages were still intact but a little dried blood was still visible.
Azaan was still half asleep and hearing all this commotion, groaned. This caused Dua to grumble too and she turned, hiding her face in his torso.
Irham was blushing seeing his brother like this, while Amirah, Ayaan and Seher had a hard time trying to control thier erupting giggles.
Zaraan on the other hand was happy as well as wanted to punch Azaan at the same time.
Faraaz, the only sensible one, said,
" Tayi ammi, chhoti ammi, taaya jaan, aap sab jaye. Ham Azaan bhai ko unke kamre mei pohoncha denge. "
The four elders left the room and Zaraan slowly shook Azaan's shoulder.
" Azaan, utho. "
He somewhat sobered and looked around only to find Dua sleeping in his lap, clutching his t shirt in her riny hands.
" Dua "
He rasped out, still not fully conscious. He reached his hand out but Irham beat him to it and slowly helped Dua sit and lean on the couch.
" Faraaz bhaijaan, aap bhai ko chhod ayien please. "
Irham requested and Faraaz nodded but Zaraan stepped in.
" Mai le jaata hun isse. "
As Zaraan made Azaan lean on to his shoulder, Irham and Aamirah helped Dua lie down on the bed and covered her with a blanket.
" I think raat me so nahi payi hogi comfortably. Let me turn the AC on, tum log neeche jao. "
Seher said and the others moved out. As she closed the window and curtains, Seher noticed some blood stains on Dua's fingers as well. She sighed before going out of the room.
•|•
" The only reason I'm not punching you right now is that you are two months older to me. "
Zaraan told his cousin who had his head held in his hands.
Azaan meekly looked at Zaraan and said,
" Hey you know I would never cross my boundaries. "
However another cold glare from a pacing Zaraan shut him up.
" Why did you sleep in her room ? "
Zaraan asked making the older brothers sigh.
" She was treating my wound. Mujhe toh yeh hi nahi pata ki usse kaise pata chala ki mai ghar aaya hun. It was like 3 in the night. "
Zaraan's gaze softened. He sighed before saying,
" Kal aadhi raat me gym jaane ki kya zarurat thi ? "
" I had to release stress. "
His vague answer was not convincing but Zaraan was all set to confront his cousin today.
" And ye jo stress tha ye .Faraaz aur Dua ki wajah se hua hoga. Haina ? "
Azaan clenched his fist as the sight from last night came back to his mind.
Seeing Faraaz wipe away the frosting from Dua's face made him mad. He knew that to Faraaz, dua was like a little child but seeing another man standing close to.his legally wedded wife madew him see red.
" Behen hai Dua uski, Azaan. Itna gussa sahi nahi hai. Aur agar gusse par kaabu nahi hai tumhara to fir apnao usse jaake sabke saamne, karo rukhsati ki baat. "
Zaraan was a straightforward man who did not sugar coat things.
" Zaraan you know why I am against this. "
Azaan said through gritted teeth and his cousin decided to give him a piece of mind.
" Toh raho against, meri behen masoom hai Azaan. She does not deserve this. Ye yaad rakhna ki agar tum usse divorce de bhi dete ho to bhi, kabhi na kabhi uski life me koi ayega. Agar Dua ko kisi aur ke saath dekhne ki himmat hai toh kaho, mai ku d talaaq dilwata hun tumhe. "

" Ammi mai ja rahi hun. "
Irham told her mother before heading out, she along with Dua had planned a day out. The situation at the Ali house right now was a little tense, and to get away from that, Irham and asked Dua to come with her since Seher and Aamirah were both busy.
" Api, kitna time lagati hai aap. "
Dua chided her once Irham came in. She rolled her eyes igniting the engine and turning to her cousin said,
" Chalein ? "
" Chaloo "
Irham couldn't help but laugh at Dua's childlike laugh and told her.
" We're gonna have so much fun today, tu dekhna. "
The car zoomed and the two sang along to the radio.
" I've got the tickets, first we'll watch the movie and then get our nails done. For uske baad we'll shop and then- "
" Dinner at Radison. "
Both the girls yelled out together making the others look at them weirdly.
•|•
" I wanted my nails to be a bit longer. "
Dua pouted but then smiled as she looked at her extensions.
" They're so pretty. We should get this done for your Rukhsati too. "
Irham exclaimed getting excited. However once she realised what she had blurted out, she looked at seher who was snorting.
" Kaisi rukhsati. Mujhe toh lagta hi nahi hai ki mera nikaah hua hai. "
She was being playful but the bitter undertone gave away how truly sad it made her.
Irham sighed and sadly said,
" Aise nahi bolte Dua. "
" Toh kya bolu api, aap hi batayein. Ek baar baat tak nahi ki unhone mujhse. It's like woh is rishte ko accept toh door acknowledge hi nahi karte. "
Irham saw a tear roll down Dua's face as she stopped the car and turned to her.
" Dua nahi ! Rona nahi. Bhai ki toh akal chali gayi hai. "
" Unki akal gayi hai toh isme mera kya kasoor hai. "
Dua was no damsel, she would not just cry to herself.
•|•
" Appi aap jayien, mai washroom se ati hun. "
Dua said before going to the restroom. She took a few napkins and after dabbing it into water, wiped away the dried tear marks and took in a deep breath.
Dua, forget him. He's an ass. Aaj tujhe sirf enjoy karna hai !
She thought to herself and touching up her blusher, smiled at her own reflection.
" Perfect. "
She said to herself and moved towards the door. When she pulled the handle, the door didn't budge, grabbing her attention. She frowned and pulled on it again as it stood firm making her widen her eyes.
She frantically banged on the door as tears washed her face.
" Koi hai bahar ? Mujhe nikalein, please. "
•|•
Aryan ke sath dinner pe aaye, aur mujhe bataya bhi nahi ! "
Irham poked at his chest but Azaan just groaned. He was feeling anxious. He looked around for a while before asking his sister,
" Dua kaha hai ? Tum dono saath hi aye the ne ? "
This was the third time he asked for Dua. Irham giggled happily and said,
" Woh second floor pe hai. I mean second floor ke washroom mein. But kaafi time ho gaya hai. "
Irham frowned towards the end of her sentence and Azaan hastily ran out of there.
Shabbir's stern voice woke him up. Azaan slowly opening his eyes and he stretched his neck and said,
" Good morning. "
Jamshed angrily glared at his son and yelled,
