Dard-e-Dil

After that day no one was talking to Shehla, not even Kehkasha...

Not with her will but due to Aaqil's strictness. Tameem wasn't talking to her, they talk, to each other only to about about food or if Shehla need something for groceries or household needs otherwise Tameem was a stranger for her and she was nothing for him. 7 months passed in the same way, Shehla was living like a unknown person in Mirza's home, just because she didn't accept the decision of her in laws.

That evening was different from normal days. Because from next day the Holy month of ramzan was going to start. Shehla changed her children's clothes and picked Tabil in her arms while holding Tasmia's hand she made her way to downstairs. When she went down, found Tameem sitting with full family, everyone was laughing and smiling.

Shahid was the first who witnessed Shehla with her kids.

"Why you come here?" Shahid roared and Shehla just ignored while taking steps towards Mrs. Mirza, she was sitting on her deewaan, resting her back with cushion and pillows, when Shehla sat down beside her.

"Assalamualaikum Ammi" she muttered and Mrs. Mirza didn't uttered anything

"Tasmia do salam to Dadi Ammi, and you too Talib" Shehla instructed both the kids, Tasmia did salam in her unclear way of talking and Shehla made Talib shake his hand with Mrs. Mirza.

{This is a manner, that people do salam to their elders when they see the moon of ramzan and Eid month}

"Get out from here..." Shahid said with his roaring voice

"Shahid she is here to meet me, you don't have any right to talk to her in this way" Mrs. Mirza scolded Shahid and Smiled looking at Talib.

"Mere pote ko tumne itne din mujhse dur rakha... Main tumse kabhi baat nahi karungi"

(You make my grandson stay away from me for so long, I won't talk to you ever)

Mrs. Mirza said with disappointment while lifting Talib, who was just like a balloon, with his very chubby body And cheeks.

"Main bhi to itne din se nahi aa rahi thi aapko meri yaad nhi ayi Ammi? Aap to kehti thi main aapki bahu nahi beti hu"

(I also wasn't coming since long time, haven't you miss me? You use to say that I'm not your daughter-in-law but daughter)

Shehla asked rightfully And Few tears rolled down from her eyes, Mrs. Mirza loved her like a daughter, and shehla also loved her just like a mother but the refusal of proposal made their relationship worse.

"Tumhe meri yaad ayi? Akad kar bethi hui thi itne Dino se..."

(You also weren't missing me, your ego is very big)

Mrs. Mirza said with scolding way.

"Aapki yaad aa rahi thi is liye apni ego ko ignore kar ke aa gai, koi or hota to us ke liye kabhi nahi aati"

(I was missing you that's way I come here to meet you after putting my ego aside, if there would be anyone else except you on this place I would never compromise with my ego)

Shehla said while glancing at Tameem who was still holding his egoistic expression on his face. But Mrs. Mirza embraced shehla And kissed Her grandson. Mrs. Mirza sort out the matter of family, she again asked Shehla if she changed her decision or not? But Shehla told clearly that she never marry her daughter with Shahid's son or any other cousin. Mrs. Mirza was disappointed but she left that topic. That was a family reunion, Aaqil patted Shehla's head just like a father . And all others also were happy but Shehla and Tameem's relationship was totally changed. Shehla gain compromise with her ego and took steps towards Tameem, she lifted her daughter and made her sat on Tameem's lap

"Mar chuke ho tum Teno mere liye... Pehle bhi kaha tha, ab bhi keh raha hu."

(You three are dead for me, I told you earlier and now I'm saying that same)

Tameem said while pushing Tasmia away from his lap.

"She is your daughter, and he is your son... You can't behave like this with them" Shehla said while lifting Tasmia in her arms.

"You didn't allow me to take decision of her life, so now why you need me?" Tameem said with a angry expression and Shehla nodded with an egoistic smile.

"Tameem don't do this... You are lucky that you have these cute children" Tehseen tried to made him understand but no benefits.

The environment was ful of happiness. Shahid and Aaqil were more happy because without any efforts their mission was successful, Tameem and Shehla's relationships was not like before, then Tameem didn't talk to shehla about anything, neither he share anything with each other.

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

The month of ramazan was coming to its end, mirza family was busy in shopping for Eid but not Shehla, because Tameem wasn't interested in that. But Mrs. Mirza ordered Tameem to took his wife and children for shopping so he gave her some money to Shehla and said her to do shopping by herself. That was Shehla's third Eid after her marriage, she didn't do shopping for herself but only for her children.

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

Shehla understood that she had to live her life without Tameem's support and she was like a single mother for her children, but Tameem only gave little amount of money to shehla for hers and children's expences.

Shehla went to meet her parents, along with her children, Mr. Khan loves Tasmia and Talib more than Shehla. He could do anything for both of them, but he was always feels guilty that he took a wrong decision for Shehla's life. He didn't bother to enquire anything about Tameem before doing Shehla's Marriage, he just became satisfied with the name of Bade Mirza Sahab

Shehla was sitting sitting on chair, and her head was resting on dining table, there were no one in the room except her, Tasmia and Talib were playing with Laiba Mrs. Khan was busy in kitchen. Mr. Khan returned from his work and found Shehla sitting silently. His energetic, talkative and playful daughter was converted into a deep thinker.

"Shehla beta are you ill?" Mr. Khan asked while caressing Shehla's head and she slowly lifted her head then nodded.

"What happen beta?" Mr. Khan asked and Shehla shrugged.

"Pta nhi abbu kya hua hai, kuch bhi kaam nahi kra jata.. Bohot jaldi thak jati hu"

(I don't know what happen, but I'm feeling fatigue after doing work)

Shehla informed and Mr. Khan chuckled

"Meri beti 20 saal ki umar main hi budiya ho gai.."

(My daughter is become gray headed in the age of 20 only)

Mr Khan said with a smile and caresed her head. No one pay attention to Shehla and her fatigue because everyone was thinking that she was doing all the work of home, and nursing Talib that's why she was week.

"Abbu I have some work with you" Shehla said ignoring her health and Mr. Khan nodded.

"Hmm.. Say"

"Abbu I'm sensing something wrong in Aaqil bhai's behaviour" Shehla shared and Mr. Khan was surprised to hear that

"Like what?" He asked

"Abbu I don't know exactly what's the matter.... He is behaving as same as before but earlier I felt that he is my well wisher but now I'm feeling like he is not the one... He never did anything wrong with us, but I'm feeling a bit negative about him. Maybe I'm wrong" Shehla shared and Mr. Khan think for few minutes.

"Beta I don't think Aaqil is a negative person, if you would say this about shahid then I would be agree" Mr. Khan said And Shehla sighed.

"What ever it is.. I have some other work with you" Shehla said and Mr. Khan nodded.

"Abbu you already knows the mental condition of your son-in-law, he don't have decision making power and in these two years I understand this much that he can't take reasonable decisions." Shehla put her point and Mr. Khan nodded with sad face.

"Abbu I'll give you some money, you invest that in some business or bought me shares of any company or buy any plot for me, in upcoming time we will need something like that. His business is also not going well, he is not saying anything to me but his peevish nature is clearly telling that his business is suffering" Shehla said and Mr. Khan nodded.

"Do Tameem also want to do this?" Me. Khan asked and shehla shrugged

"I haven't talk to him about this."

"Then how will you arrange the money?" Mr. Khan asked with confusion

"Abbu my Jewellery is placed in locker what is the benefit of that if it can't help me and my children, I'll give you money after selling my jewellery and I don't want to disclose this with Shahid bhai and Aaqil bhai. Shahid bhai can't tolerate if we invest in something" Shehla state and Mr. Khan was highly disappointed with his own daughter, he was thinking that Shehla was thinking so much negative for her in-laws who loves her so much but in reality shehla was not revealing the truth in front of Mr. Khan

Three or four times shehla said the same to Aaqil and Shahid to invest her money in some business or buy some plot for her so that, it would be helpful for her and her children in future but they both always said that Tameem's business was going very well so there weren't any need to invest further.

"If you want to do anything with your jewellery then first ask Tameem's permission, and secondly you both are husband wife, don't take any decision by yourself take his advice too... Ask him if he is agree or not then tell me" Mr. Khan said in scolding way.

"Abbu he won't be agree."

"First ask him" Shehla nodded on that.

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

"I want to sell my jewellery" Shehla said to Tameem without looking at him

"Why?"

"I want to buy shares" Shehla said and Tameem glared her.

"I will sell only that jewellery which my abbu had gave me in wedding, not the one which had get from your family" Shehla state And Tameem think for few minutes.

"Go to hell from my side... Do whatever you want to do!" Saying that Tameem started having his dinner.

Shhela did the same she sell half of her jewellery and gave the money to Mr. Khan who bought a plot for Shehla. On the other hand Tameem told everyone that Shehla invested money in shares.

"Shehla in which company you have invested." Shahid asked and shehla smiled

"In Blue Star company" Shehla state with a smile, Mr. Khan use to invest in that company so Shehla knew everything about that's share policy.

"In my opinion you should invest in some other company!" Shahid said and shehla nodded.

"In which company bhai?" she asked and shahid told about the company who's future was looking blank. Shehla already knew that what have to do, she said thanks for the advise and also said that she would invest in the company which shahid told her.

After some five months shahid and Aaqil both asked to Shehla that what was the status of her Shares? Shehla told them that, she suffered from the loss as the company was bankrupt. That news gave immense relief to Shahid, but not Aaqil. He scolded shehla for her wrong decision, he told that she wouldn't need to get involved in business and investments.

Mrs. Mirza was also disappointed with shehla because she was thinking that Shehla sold her jewellery as well as she loss that money too. But only Shehla, Mr. Khan and Nasir knew that from that money Shehla bought a plot.

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

Shehla and Tameem both started living like strangers in the same room, they never talk to each other uselessly, they only talk about if they had to go somewhere, if Shehla needed some groceries or if Tameem need food...

Tameem was trying to punish Shehla, for not agreeing with him, but he was wasting the golden time of his life which he could spend with his wife and children with love and happiness.

Shehla always mask a big grin in her face, she always wait that maybe Tameem realised that he was doing wrong but his namesake ego was miserably hurt. Shehla many times try to make everything fine, but couldn't. She talked to Tameem that For Tasmia and Talib's future he should be change his attitude but he didn't understand that. He keep telling the same words that Shehla had rejected his nephew so he won't take interest in three of them.

Tasmia and Talib both were very small to understand the situation of their parent's relationship, they both love Tameem in the same way. When he came back from work, Tasmia always hugged his leg with her small arms but most of the time he use to jerk her and bring chocolates and snacks for His nephew and neice just to make Shehla realise he wasn't with her because of Shehla's one decision. Shehla made distance from Tameem but she was unsuccessful in stopping her innocent children to love their father. Tameem use to behave very badly with Tasmia, just to give punishment to Shehla. She tried to make some way to save Tasmia with that type of behaviour and she just get a single way....

She said to Mr. And Mrs. Khan that she couldn't take care of her both kids because they were very small so she gave Tasmia to Mrs. Khan, to raise her. Shehla use to cry when she miss her daughter but in Khan Family Tasmia was getting the love which she deserves. Nasir, Fuzel and Laiba love her very much. Fuzel never loved Shehla that much that she love Tasmia. Nasir and Fuzel use to fight with each other that who will take Tasmia with himself. The little girl was getting the love in her maternal grandparent's home. And Talib was getting the love of Mrs. Mirza, she loves him more than anyone else.
