Dard-e-Dil

Shehla was in kitchen busy in making fruit salad for herself when she listened Nayla talking to Tehseen, they both were discussing to go for movie, shehla also wanted to go but how could she go when her own husband was not interested in taking her with himself.

She always wanted to roam around, but before Marriage whenever she asked to Her mother she always reply a single thing....

"Go wherever you want to go, but with your husband after getting married"

And after Marriage her husband was not interested in taking her with himself.

"Shehla we are going for movie, Tameem is also coming with us" Nayla informed her about the plan.

"Is he also going?" shehla enquired and Nayla nodded.

"You also get ready, we four will go for movie, then lunch then shopping and come back but not before dinner" Nayla said with full of excitement and shehla shook her head without any expression, she didn't want to go with Tameem, she know that they both weren't in the relationship like a normal husband wife where partners love each other and take care of each other's happiness. She was tolerating everything as she didn't had any other choice.

"Bhabhi You people go I don't want to go anywhere" Shehla said with a pang in her heart

"Shehla don't be a fool, Tameem use to ignore you and what do you do? You also ignore him! Try to build understanding with him instead of ignoring him.you have to live your whole life with him..." Nayla said and Shehla just listened, at the same time Kehkasha also came there and she also advised shehla to spent some time with Tameem

" You both are saying like he is doing everything to make me happy but I'm not thinking about him, but the reality is opposite... I tried many times to make this relationship better but that man is mad... I feels irritated with him.." Shehla said in frustration and Kehkasha looked at Nayla.. But Shehla realised that she called Tameem Mad so she apologies for that

"I'm sorry, maybe you both thinking that I don't have any manners to call my husband but its reality." Shehla took a break after that

"Bhabhi sometimes he talk to me as if he we both are happy with each other, but very next moment he starts behaving like an enemy! Sometimes he say a single word so many times that I feels to hit my head on the wall or bust his head with something" Shehla pour out her frustration and anger but Kehkasha just nodded.

"Get ready for now.. We will discuss this later" Kehkasha said and shehla refused but after a long debate she become agree and happy too. After some half an hour she got ready to go. After marriage She was going somewhere first time. Before that day she only visited a few relatives of Tameem.

"Nayla Come" Tehseen called his wife who was inside the bedroom with Shehla, both ladies were giving last touch to their makeup, standing in front of a wall size mirror.

"Coming Tenheen" Nayla yelled and Shehla picked her purse, both stepped out happily and Tameem looked at Shehla with surprised expression, he wasn't in home so he didn't know about Shehla's plan

"Where are you going?" Tameem asked when saw her fully ready to go somewhere

"I'm coming with you for movie" she replied

"Tu mere sath chalne layaq nhi hai" Tameem said while glaring shehla and Shehla glared him back

(You aren't worthy to come with me)

"Thoda galat bool diya, asal main Tum mere sath chalne layaq nahi ho." Shehla said loudly and angrily

(Actually your aren't worthy to come with me.)

"Tum!? Tum kar ke bolegi tu mujhse..."

(Will you disrespect me)

stepping towards her with angry way Tameem said while raising his hand to slap Shehla but he was stopped by Tehseen, Kehkasha and his mother. The whole scene was going on outside the Tehseen's room which was just beside Mrs. Mirza's room.

"Shukar karo Tum kar ke hi bol rahi hu... Tum to Tu karke bolne ke bhi layaq nahi ho. Jo meri izzat nahi karta main uski izzat nahi karti.. Tunhe itni bhi izzat de rahi hu to ye meri Sharafat hai"

(You should be glad that I'm giving you this much respect otherwise you don't deserve any respect, I don't give respect to those people who don't respect me)

Shehla shouted angrily, Kehkasha said her not to shout but she was angry at that time and when she became angry she was like a volcano which could burn everything

"Main isi liye is jesi ladki se shadi nahi karna chahta tha... Nafrat hai mujhe isse.. Nafrat.. Iski shakal dekhte hi mere sar main dard hone lagta hai... Manhus hai ye Manhus."

(That's why I didn't want to marry a girl like her... I hate.. Just hate her... My head starts paining whenever I see her face... She is a jinx.. Indeed a Jinx...)

Tameem shouted from the top of his longs while holding his head with both hands.

"Manhus ka to pta nahi Haan lekin main shayad bad kismat hu jabi to tum jese aadmi se meri shadi hui..."

(I can't say anything about am I jinx or not but it's sure that I'm ill-fated as I get a man like you as my husband)

Shehla shouted back out of frustration and anger.

"Ammi main bta raha hu... Yeh Manhus hai.. Manhus.. Manhus hai ye... Manhus.."

(Ammi I'm telling you this girl is a jinx.. A big jinx.. She is a jinx.. Jinx jinx...)

Mrs Mirza and all others present there were trying stop the argument but couldn't, Tameem was shouting and repeating the same words but shehla huffed and stepped towards the stairs, she didn't wait for anything else, but while going upstairs she listened loud chuckles of shahid and Sayra.

Shehla's room was on second floor, while Shahid and Aaqil's rooms were on first floor of the huge and Royal looking building.

''Mene Aapse kaha tha na, shadi hone dijiye har roz ka naya drama dekhne ko milega.. Dekhiye! Abhi to shuruwaat hai"

(Remember, I told you that we are going to witness many dramas after their marriage... See.. Its just beginning)

Sayra said in between is laughter and Shehla felt cried.

"May Allah grant you these days in your life then I'll ask you how funny these dramas will be." cursing both of them Shehla climbed stairs.

For many hours Shehla just cried in her room, She was brave and as hard as rock in front of everyone but from inside she was an innocent eighteen years old girl who knew to love everyone and wanted to be loved but her life was totally different from the expectations. she never expected anything like that in her life, her husband use to call her Manhus (jinx) and kali kawwi (Black crow) instead of her name.

After spending many hours in her room she felt hungry, she didn't wanted to go downstairs but she had to as she couldn't stop the urge to eat something due to her pregnancy.

She was two month pregnant then...

Shehla went downstairs where a different scene was going on. Tehseen was side hugging Nayla sitting down on the floor and caressing her back as she was panting. There were some voices coming out from Mrs. Mirza's bedroom. Shahid and Sayra were standing on the doorway of the room. Shehla stepped towards the room but suddenly Aaqil came out from there.

"What happened bhai?" Shehla asked to Aaqil

"Nothing... You go to your room, Ammi's condition is not well" saying that Aaqil stepped towards the exit of home hurriedly but stopped when

"But what happened to Nayla bhabi?" Shehla asked and Aaqil informed that Nayla saw Mrs. Mirza's condition that's why she became frightened, but then Aaqil called Aashi (his daughter) who took shehla to the room. Aaqil didn't allow Shehla to only peep inside the room, it's not because he didn't wanted shehla to see Mrs. Mirza's condition but because he was hiding a truth...

The truth which was going to change Shehla's opinion about Tameem...

The truth which was going to make a different place for Tameem in her heart and life....
