Dard-e-Dil

She was the most beautiful and intelligent girl of her locality.

He was the youngest among his five siblings.

She was the pride of her father

He was the support of his mother

She had a business mind, and right hand of her father in his every decision.

He had a timid heart, and his opinion wasn't matter in his family.

She was a brave girl who can take stand for herself without any fear

He was most miserably used by his brothers for their own selfishness

She belongs to a very educated family.

He belongs to a very reputed and one of the royal family....

She was the dream of many boys

He has only a dream to made a girl his...

What will happen when they both will be tied up with each other.....

===================

Year

1997....

Shehla and Tameem...

Two different people

Two different families

Two different backgrounds

Different dreams

Different personalities....

Shehla was busy in chit chatting with her friend who use to live in her next home.

"Shehla Baji... Shehla Baji.... Ammi is calling you, some guests are here" her younger sister come running to her and she nodded and smacked her forehead.

"Chachiiii... I come here to give you this kheer, but your daughter always divert my mind" Shehla said to her neighbour and passed a bowl to her before running towards her home.

She was 18 but her childish behaviour was still present in her. Even after all the intelligence and bravery she had innocent soul.

"Shehla, jaldi kapde badlo or andar aao kuch log tumhe dekhne aye hain" Her mother said when he entered in home.

(shehla change your clothes soon and come.. A boy's family had come to see you)

"Kya hai ammi!! In logo ko apne ghar main araam nahi milta kya jo alag alag ladkiyon ke ghar main jate rehte hain?"

(what is this Ammi?! Don't they people find peace in their place so they keep roaming from one girls home to others!)

Mumbling the same Shehla walked to the changing room and come to the guest room where an old lady was sitting with her daughter. The shine of their faces were screaming loudly that they belongs to a royal family.

The royal family which was only royal by name because their business were closed when printing press take over the market of hand written book.....

But still only their surname was enough to make every eye wide with amazmnet.

==============

"Aaj Shehla ko dekhne ladke wale aye the, log to achhe lag rahe the..." Her mother was narrating the story to her husband but her sentence was interrupted.

(today some people have visited to see shehla. People were lookin.....)

"Meri beti hai hi inti pyari ki rishto ki line lagi rehti hai" that was a proud fathers comment on which his wife rolled her eyes.

(my daughter is just like this that proposals wait for her in queue)

"kese hain log? Or kya kaha unhone?" Her father asked happily while raising the bite.

(how was the people and what they have said?)

"Lag to rahe the khandani log hain, keh rahe the Mirza Amaan baig ke khandan se hain... Bade Mirza sahab ke sabse chhote bete ka rishta aaya hai" Shehla's mother informed her husband carelessly but his hand was stucked in air.

(They were looking like belongs to a very and reputed family, they were saying that they belong to Mirza Amaan Baig's Family.... The guy for whom shehla's proposal had come.. That guy is Bede Mirza Sahab's youngest son)

"Bade Mirza sahab!! Naam to theek suna hai na Tumne?" He asked with amazment...

(have you listened the name correctly?)

"Haan.. Shayad yahi kaha tha..." She said again carelessly.

(Umm... Yeah.. I think they said this name)

"Pata bhi hai kon the Bade Mirza Sahab? Lakho ki jaydaten to unhone kiray par de rakhi thi, or uska kiraya woh khud istemaal nhi karke the, balki masjid or yateem khane me de diya karte the.... Bohot bade log hain woh to... Hamari Shehla ke liye unke ghar se rishta aaya hai? Aakh band karke bhi Haan kar do to koi pareshani nahi hai...."

(do you even have any idea who was Bade Mirza Sahab!! He was a billionaire... Even many properties were on rent and he didn't use that rent but donated that in the mosques or orphan age. They are very reputed people. We get proposals from that family for our daughter it's a very good news. There isn't any problem even if we say yes for thsg proposal even without thinking once)

Her father said while placing back the bite.

That was the first time when he placed back his bite otherwise he never compromise with his meal, but that good news made him full, with happiness.

=================

Tameem entered back in his home, after a tiring day of office work.

he was the owner of a small printing press with his elder brother's partnership. Investment was made by his elder brother but all the efforts were made by him.

"kya hua sab mujhe ese kyu dekh rahe hain?" Tameem asked when witnessed his three brothers, their wives and his mother staring at him.

(what happened why everyone is watching me like this?)

"Tameem do din baad ladki wale tumse milne ayenge. Ghar main hi rehna" his eldest brother Shahid orders him and he got a shook.

(Tameem girls family will come to meet you after two days. Stay in home)

"Nhi... Nhi krungi main shadi.. Nahi karunga, keh diya nahi karunga to bas nhi karunga, nahi karunga, koi kuch bhi karle main shadi nahi karunga..."

(No... I won't do Marriage... I won't... If I have said that I won't than I won't.. No matter anyone will do anything but I won't do Marriage)

"Tameem, baat sunu... Betho phir baat karte hain..."

(Tameem listen.... Sit then we will talk)

"Nahi... Mujhe kuch sunna hi nahi hai, shadi karunga to sirf Pooja se karunga warna kisi ke bhi nahi karunga... Sirf or sirf Pooja se... Sunaa.. Sunai diya ya nahi?? Sirf or sirf Pooja see.. Or kisi se bhi nahi...." He was screaming loudly and his family members were watching him with fearful expressions.

( no i dont have to listen anything, I will do Marriage only with Pooja, otherwise I won't do Marriage... Only and only with Pooja!! Have you all listened or not? I'll only marry Pooja... Only Pooja, no one else)

Fear of an untold secret.....

"Tameem Pagal mat ban... Dusre mazhab ki ladki hai wo... Tu usse shadi karega..." Aaqil (Tameem's seconds elder brother) roar on him

(Tameem don't be mad... She belongs to different religion... Will you marry that girl?)

"Nahi karunga kisi or se shadi... Nahi karunga... Sirf Pooja se karunga... Sirf Pooja se..." Tameem again shouted.

(I'll do Marriage with Pooja only and only Pooja... Other than that I won't do Marriage)

"Bakwaas band kar.... Apni oqaat dekho? Bada aaya us Pooja se shadi karne wala... Usko teri oqaat pata chal jaye na to teri shakal bhi nahi dekhegi, shadi karna to door ki baat hai"

(Cut this crap!! Have to ever glanced at your status? If that Pooja got to know about your Status then she won't even glance at your face, Marriage with you us a far extend point)

Shahid come forward while raising his hand to slap him and Tameem bend a little to save himself from that slap but shahid was stopped by his mother.

"Tameem, beta tum to hamari sari baat mante ho to ye baat kyu nahi maan rahe? Us Pooja se bhi zyada achhi hai wo ladki."

(Tameem son you always obey our every thing, then what happened to you now? That girl is much better than pooja)

His mother said but Tameem fell down on his knees

"Main Pooja se hi shadi karunga... Or kisi se bilkul bhi nahi karunga.. Kabhi bhi nhi, puri zindagi nahi karunga... Pooja.. Sirf or sirf Pooja.. Or koi nhi..."

(I'll only marry with Pooja... Only Pooja no one else... I'll not get married for my whole life... I'll only marry with Pooja)

Tameem was screaming louder Aqeel and Shahid both were glaring him, his mother and sisters-in-law were looking him with concern

"Bhai.. Aaqil bhai... Ruk jaiye..."

(Bro, Aaqil bro.... Wait... Please stop)

Tameem's third elder brother (Tehseen) come forward while stopping his two brothers.

"Pani Lao.. Jaldi pani Lao..."

(Give water, give water fast...)

Tehseen said louder after sitting beside Tameem who was then Mumbling with bloodshot eyes.

"Shadi karunga to Sirf Pooja se karunga warna nahi karunga... Koi kuch bhi karle nahi karunga..."

(I'll only do Marriage with Pooja, other than her I won't do Marriage... Not in any condition... Do what ever you want to do)

"Tameem Take this" He jerked Tehseen's hand and shahid come forward to slap Tameem but Aqeel held his arm and slowly shook his head to say no, and shahid slightly nodded while looking at his younger brother and mother.

"Tameem mera achha bhai hai na.... Lo khao or pani pee lo"

(Tameem you are my good brother. Right?... Come on take this and drink water)

Tehseen said as if he was saying to a little boy but Tameem again jerked his hand while mumbling same words and glaring everyone.

=================

"Shadi hone do abhi to or bhi maza ayega..., TV pr drama dekhne ki zarurat hi nhi hogi, har rooz ghar main hi naya drama dekhne ko milega"

(Wait till the marriage, then it will be more fun... We won't have to watch drama on TV, there will be a different drama in home everyday)

Sayra (Shahid's wife) said with a smirk

"Sharam kariye bhabhi aapki bhi do betiyan hain, kisi ki beti ki zindagi barbaad hone wali hai, hum sab bhi usme barabar ke gunahgaar ban rahe hain... Kam se kam mazaakh to mat udaiye"

(What are you saying bhabhi! Shame on you! You also have two daughters and here someone's daughter's life is going to be ruined, we all are become the member of this offence... At least don't make fun)

kehkasha (Aqeel's wife) said to her jethani (sister-in-law)
