Aiza stepped inside her home after attending her college. As always the silence greeted her and she went upto her room to get freshen up. After a while she came downstairs in the kitchen and saw raziya bi.
Aiza- assalamualaikum. She greeted her with a warm smile.
Raziya- Walaikumussalam beta, How was your day.
Aiza- like always, good but as well as tiring. She said sitting on the dinning table while raziya bi served her some snacks.
This is her daily routine. As her brothers are always busy in their works, only raziya bi is the one who takes care of aiza's health. She asks her about her day and have a little conversation while she's having her snacks.
Raziya knows how much lonely aiza feels, so she tries to give company to her as much as she can. As an old lady and as being the oldest servent in the house, she knows everything about the ali family and they too trust her alot.
They were having a small talk and just then they heard the door bell. Raziya was about to go but aiza stopped her, Remembering that it must be the post man with zakir's parcel. She went and Opened the gate which was basically the door of the house.
Postman- assalamualaikum mam, is zakir Ahmed Ali home? There's a parcel for him. He asked.
Aiza- Walaikumussalam, he's not home but you can hand me the parcel, I am his sister. She said and he handed her the envelope and took her sign.Well he already knows the Ahmed siblings, they are pretty famous.
Aiza- is envelope ko toh dhek kar lagta hi hai that these are some important papers. I better keep them safe untill bhai is back. She talked to herself and was about to go upstairs but just then fareeha entered the house.
Fareeha- assalamualaikum di. She chirpped and aiza smiled seeing her.
Aiza- Walaikumussalam baccha. Kaisa tha meri bacchi ka din.
Fareeha- it was good. Aiza nodded and then fareeha noticed the envelope in aiza's hand and curiosity rose in her. Di ye kya hai? She said taking the envelope from aiza suddenly.
Aiza- arey farru, don't take it like that. Agar phat gaya toh problem ho jayegi. Bhai ke kuch important papers hai ye.She said while trying to take it back.
Fareeha- Arey toh kya hua di, let's just see na ki ye papers kya hai. She said and was about to open it but aiza stopped her.
Aiza- meri baat sunlo farru, don't open it he'll not like that. She said warning her but fareeha was not ready to listen.
Aiza again tried to take it while moving a little forward causing her leg to hurt by the edge of the glass table kept there. While fareeha kept the envelope on the table and moved to help aiza but her hand hit the water jug placed on the table which fell directly on the envelope making it completely soaked in water.
Both of them widened their eyes, fareeha in regret while aiza in terror. They felt the time stopped for a while, aiza knew how much serious zakir is about his work.
Aiza- ya allah, ye kya hogaya. She said panicking and took it in her hand.
Fareeha- di I am sorry, i-i don't know ye kaise ho gaya, it was a mistake i-i didn't- Aiza could feel fareeha's fear so she assured her. She can't let fareeha face zakir's anger, Which is undoubtedly terrifying.
Aiza- tum tension mat lo fareeha. Tum abhi Ghar jao ok. Mai sab kuch sambhal lungi.
Fareeha- par didi, Bhai-
Aiza- fareeha mai keh rahi hun ki mai sambhal lungi, tum jao aur haan zubair ko bhejo. Fareeha nodded hesitantly and left.
Aiza knew that she can't solve this huge chaos without her bestfriend. He helps her in everything and she always panick in situations like this if he's not near her. After some minutes zubair entered making aiza a little calm.
Zubair- aiza kya hua hai? He asked holding her by shoulders while her eyes filled up with tears.
Aiza- buhut badi galti hogayi hai zubair. She said and told him everything making zubair fume in anger.
Zubair- ye ladki kabhi nai sudregi!
Aiza- nai zubair, she's just a child.
Zubair- have you gone mad aiza! Wo utni bhi choti nahi hai ki use important things ki qadar na ho. She should know her limits.
Aiza- tum use gussa mat karna aur filhaal mujhe ye batao ki ab kya karen? Agar bhai ko unke ye papers ese milenge toh buhut pareshani ho jayagi.
Zubair- accha tum pareshaan mat ho hum kuch karte hain. Bhai ko kuch maloom nai hoga.
Zakir- mujhe kya maloom nai hoga? He asked in his cold voice making aiza tremble. They knew that she's now done for.
Zubair- b-bhai wo-
Zakir- bolo zubair, tum dono mujhse kya chupana chahte teh. He asked firmly clearly demanding a response.Zubair and aiza knew that now they have nothing left to do rather than saying the truth.
Zubair- bhai wo fa- before he can complete his words, aiza spoke up with a hesitant voice.
Aiza- b-bhai, aapke p-papers par m-mene g-galti se p-pani gira d-diya. I am s-sorry bhai. Zubair snapped his head towards aiza with widened eyes. And he exactly knew what she was doing.
Zakir was frozen for a minute after hearing her words. His eyes fell on to the wet papers on the table and His eyes darkened instantly making aiza tremble more. With fast steps he went near her making zubair alert.
Zakir- do you even know what you just did! He asked sternly making aiza gulp.
Aiza- i-i am s-sorry bhai-
Zakir- will your sorry fix the damage you've done aiza!! He shouted making her flinch. While zubair went near them holding zakir's arm to stop him.
Zubair- bhai please control yourself.
Zakir- nai zubair, tum sun rahe ho ye kya keh rahi hai. I freaking warned her that these papers are important aur inhe save rakhna. I trusted her with my important papers but look what she has done. Tum itni careless kaise ho sakti ho aiza!! You are an utterly stupid girl! He shouted again making aiza's tears fall. She was just bowing her head the whole time.
Zubair- bhai aap ek baar sun toh lijiye-
Zakir- jab maine suna ki tum log kuch chupa rahe ho, tab hi mai samjh gaya ki isne kuch kiya hai. I think she likes troubling us alot. Hame sukoon mey nahi dhek sakti ye, haina! He said making aiza raise her head up this time. His words were like a knife on her heart.
Zubair- bhai aisa kuch nahi hai jaisa aap samajh rahe hai-
Zakir- ab jo bhi samajh na hai, wo areeb bhai ko samjh na hai. He said and left angrily while zubair just looked at aiza furiously.
Aiza- tumne suna nahi unhone kya kahan. Agar mai chup rehti toh wo phir bhi samajhte ki maine kuch kiya hai aur agar sach bata deti toh une lagta ki we are lying kyuki he trusts farru more than me. She said in a daze making zubair sigh.
Zubair- tum apne room mey jao I'll call you, but usse phele mujhe fareeha ko kuch sikhana hai! He said gritting his teeth.
Aiza- nai zubair, don't shout on her. Handle her with care.
Zubair- mai dheklunga. He said and went out while aiza went to her room. She was extremely hurt by zakir's words but she knew that she can't do anything about it except for agreeing that she'll always be blamed for everything.
Hafiz mansion
Zubair entered and saw fareeha seated on the sofa with a tensed face. She noticed him and rose up from her seat. She can already see the anger on his face which she was not liking at all
Fareeha- b-bhai-
Zubair- kya humne tumhe ye sab sikhaya hai fareeha! He asked sternly. Zubair was always a cool brother to fareeha but when he gets angry he becomes very scary which fareeha hates the most. Seeing him angry is the last thing she would want.
Fareeha- sorry bhai.
Zubair- tum choti bacchi nahi ho ab fareeha. You should keep in check your manners! He raised his voice a little and just then abrar entered.
Abrar- ye kya ho raha hai? He asked looking at his siblings.
Zubair- accha hua aap agaye bhaijaan, ab aap hi sambhal liye apni ladli ko. He said glaring at fareeha.
Abrar- zubair tum ye kis tarike se baat kar rahe ho. Bolo kya kiya hai isne. Zubair started telling him everything making abrar angry as well.
Zubair- and aapko pata hai whats the worst part, aiza ne pura blame apne upar leliya, ye ki pani usne giraya tha.
Fareeha looked at zubair with shocked face. She was now feeling guilty and at same time thankful to her sister who saved her.
Abrar- ufff kya karun mai is ladki ka. Zakir pata nai aur kitna gussa kar raha hoga use. He already doesn't like- he stopped realising fareeha is also present there.
Zubair- bhaijaan, ab aap hi ise kuch boliye, I am already done with the stupidity's of my sister and my best friend. He said and went upstairs not before giving a last glare to fareeha.
Abrar- fareeha this is not what I thought you right! He said sternly making fareeha tear up again.
Fareeha- I am sorry bhaijaan, I was just curious.
Abrar- that's not a good thing fareeha. You being careless about a important thing just out of curiosity is not a good thing. He said trying to be soft while fareeha sobbed. He sighed and gently took her to his office room.
He made her sit and then made her drink some water making her a little calm. He sat opposite her while she looked at him with her cute red face.
Fareeha- bhaijaan, I am sorry.
Abrar- are you really sorry? Do you except your fault? He asked and she nodded her head slightly. Words fareeha. He said coldly.
Fareeha- ji bhaijaan. I except my fault.
Abrar- good, now let's come to your punishment. He said now making his voice a little softer while fareeha frowned seeing which he chuckled.
Fareeha- bhaijaan, mai pakka phirse aisa kabhi nai karungi, i promise.
Abrar- ab galti ki hai toh you have to endure the consequences too right. He said and she pouts.
Fareeha- ji bhaijaan.
Abrar- you already know what you have to do baccha. Just go and say zakir the truth that you have done that mistake. He said casually making fareeha's eyes widened.
Fareeha- bhaijaan aap ye kya bol rahen hai! Bhai mujhe zinda nahi chodenge. She said in fear while abrar chuckled on her words.
Abrar- kuch nahi karega wo if you'll be truthful.
Fareeha- but bhaijaan-
Abrar- fareeha. He said in a tone Making fareeha understood that this topic is over now. Fareeha got up and went to him and he got the idea what she wanted so he hugged her making her relaxed.
Fareeha- aap gussa ho? She asked cutely.
Abrar- mai gussa nai hun baccha, but you should always remember your manners and not do things just out of curiosity. He said gently while caressing her head slowly.
Fareeha- sorry, I won't repeat it again.
Abrar- hmm ab jao aur apne bhai ko manao and make things right for aiza as well. Fareeha nodded and went away.
Ahmed mansion
Zakir was very frustrated right now. He knew that he scolded aiza a little too much, but she was at fault from his perspective. After a minute, his phone ranged and saw it's one of his clients who sended him that papers.
Zakir- hello.
Man- oh hello mr.ahmed, I just wanted to inform you that m, the papers i've sended you were not the original papers, it is just the copies of the original documents. I am sorry I wasn't able to inform you this earlier.
Zakir was not able to process his words for sometime. He composed himself and ended the call. He realised what he have done now. He shouted on her for the papers which were not that important now.
But he would never regret though. He just realised that he shouldn't have shouted on her but saying her sorry is very far from his thinking. Is he even guilty for his words?
