Dard-e-Dil

19. Handed Over To Destiny

Shehla and Tameem along with Tehseen and Nayla were tensed. Shehla tried to make some solution but couldn't, because when ever she talk to anyone who knows about these law matters, then they ask shehla to show those papers or show the property papers. Which Shehla didn't had. But luckily Shehla got to know that the Mirza home was still on the name of Mrs. Mirza, that means Tameem, and Tehseen had equal right in that property as same as Aaqil and shahid, but that information wasn't a piece of cake... It took 4 years to conform that shahid wasn't the owner of the house in which they were living.

Tameem's behaviour towards shehla and his children was unchanged. He always maintain some distance between himself and his family, he was still remembering Shahid's words that Shehla won't respect him for whole life and unwillingly shehla proved shahid correct when she informed Tameem about the the piece of land which she bought many years back. Tameem who was already suffering from inferiority complex became more insecure by knowing that his wife didn't even ask about his opinion before investing in property.

Those four years changed many things... Aaqil shifted to another lavish home, but after a few months of shifting there Kehkasha passed away. That was a sudden death which no one ever expected, she was fine but she had some strees that lead to heart attack which snatch away the soul from her frame. After a few months of her death, Aashi got a proposal from a nice family.

But sometimes history repeats itself...

Aaqil call Nayla and Shehla to his home as he wanted both of them to handle all the responsibilities of Aashi's wedding because Kehkasha was no more. Nayla and Shehla got agree without any problem, they both didn't forgive Aaqil for what he and Shahid did with them but Aashi wasn't on fault so they did not bring their hatred and anger towards Aashi.

The alliance was almost fixed, engagement day was just a day away, but Shehla didn't met the guy nor his family. But by some chance Shehla got to know about the mother's name of That guy

"Aaqil bhai is that the same lady whose husband is a law person, whose name is Najeeb?" Shehla asked suddenly, and Aaqil nodded.

"Do you know her?" Aaqil asked and shehla nodded

"Najeeb uncle has three sons. Right?" Shehla confirmed and Aaqil nodded, and Aaqil informed that Aashi was going to get married with their youngest son.

Aaqil didn't share any details with Shehla, Nayla, Tehseen and Tameem because he was concerned that they people may ignite in Aashi's allience, but they didn't had any wrong intentions. Tameem, shehla, Tehseen and Nayla never tried to do anything wrong with anyone. For sometime Nayla was over proud to be a mother of a boy, but then she again became normal and the humanity took over her personality.

"Aaqil bhai they people use to live in our neighbourhood, we were very close to them." Shehla said and Aaqil was surprised.

"Aaqil bhai, as far as I know, youngest son of Najeeb uncle is a drug addictive" Shehla informed and Aaqil shook his head.

"Najeeb sahab is a very reputed man, and his son can't be like this." Aaqil said proudly and Shehla smiled sadly.

"You are marring Aashi with Najeeb uncle's son, not with his reputation. Even I know that His son use to break everything when he crave for drugs" Shehla informed and Aaqil was shocked. He looked at his only daughter who was smiling just a few minutes ago. Two girls were busy in applying mehndi in her hands.

"What are you saying Shehla?" Tameem and Tehseen asked and she nodded.

"They people use to live in our neighbourhood some years ago, and abbu was very close to Najeeb uncle." Shehla informed and Aaqil was again shocked.

"I won't do my daughter's marriage with him" Saying that Aaqil got up from his place suddenly and left the room, Tameem and Tehseen also followed him. The room was silent, there were a few people present in the room.

Including Shehla, Nayla, Aashi, his brother and Tasmia who was 13 years old then.

The silence of the room who broken by a sob which left from Aashi's mouth.

"Shhh... No need to cry" Her brother gave a side hug to her, and Aashi cried while putting her head on her brother's shoulder. Nayla hugged her but Shehla didn't moved from her place. She was smiling but at the same time she was crying too.

"Chachi saheba are you sure about what are you saying?" Aashi's brother asked and Shehla sighed while wiping her tears.

"Do enquire by yourself, I could hide all these things very easily, but I don't want that any girl face anything like that" This time shehla couldn't stop herself to cry out loudly, she was crying because she was thinking about her own life, which she was living with a name sake husband who was with her just for two time meal and she was with her just for a father's name for her children.

"Ammi use to told us that chachi Saheba will never give us any wrong advice if we ask for, and today you proved her correct" Aashi cried and come to shehla then hugged her. She was missing her mother but her aunties were there for her.

"I never want wrong for anyone. I too have a daughter, I don't want to do something with anyone that would be paid off through my daughter." Shehla cried and kissed Tasmia's forehead, who was sitting besides her.

"Chachi saheba... Its only a week left in Marriage, we have invited so many guests and what will happen now.. What will people say?" Aashi cried and shehla smiled.

"Logo ko to bolne ke liye kuch na kuch chahiye... Kuch din tumhare bare main bolenge, phir koi or topic mil jayega unhe bolne ke liye. Abhi apne bare main socho. Shadi ke baad agar kisi ladki ko pareshani hoti hai to ye log nahi aate us ko dekhne."

(People need a topic for gossip. They will talk about you until they got another topic for their gossips. Let them talk about you for few days don't it thinking about them but yourself. Don't come to help the girl if she faces problem in her life after marriage)

Shehla said everything which she had in her heart.

But actually she was living with Tameem just because of those gossipings.. She didn't want people to prejudice about her daughter because of herself.

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

Shehla was laying on the bed, Tasmia was laying on her left side placing her head on her mother's arm and Tabil was on other side, both the kids were telling shehla about their day of school.

"Now sleep and let me sleep too." Shehla said to her children and closed her eyes to sleep.

"Mummy when will papa come back?" Talib asked and shehla ignored.

"Mummy..."

"Talib ask the question whose answer I can give. How do I know when will he come back?" Shehla said with frustration.

"Mummy I'm asking because the door of the room is not locked." Talib said and Shehla closed her eyes.

"So what's new in this, he will lock the door when he will come back, now sleep. Tomorrow is school then you will not wake up." Shehla scolded her son and three of them slept after turning off the light

"Shehla"

"Shehla" a voice disturbed Shehla's slumber and she open her eyes. That was Tameem.

"Hmm"

"I was coming back to home when shahid bhai said me that he wanted to talk about something" Tameem said and Shehla set down on bed while rubbing her eyes, Tameem's voice disturbed the slumber of children and they also woke up.

"Now what is left to talk about?" Shehla asked about shahid.

"He want to sell this house and divide equal shares between we four brothers..." Shehla didn't let Tameem complete

"What is the matter with this man? Neither he stay in peace nor he let us live in peace" Shehla said angrily.

"Shehla now what's wrong? If we will sell this house and we all bought different home then it would be better" Tameem said and 1both the kids smiled.

"Really? Our own home? Papa will it be as big as this one?" Tasmia asked and Talib also asked the same thing bit with different words.

"When will we shift to our new home!" Both the kids asked but...

"Shut your mouth for a while, we aren't going anywhere" Shehla said with an angry tone

"What do you mean" Tameem was confused

"It's very simple, we are not going anywhere. How can you trust him now? You can't trust if he will give you share after selling this property or not. Maybe he will sell the property and then say that we don't have any shares in this property. And for a chance If we suppose that hewill give us our full share, even then how will you find out a place as good as this one?"Shehla came out with those words.

" Why are you thinking negative?" Tameem asked and she smiled

"who is saying this" She mumbled but Tameem didn't listened

"I'm not thinking negative but I'm trying to think of long terma and their possibilities." Shehla said and Tameem shook his head.

"you are wrong"

"I amn't." She stressed

"we can't trust him after what, he had done in past" Shehla state

"Don't bring party in between, think about present and future" Tameem said and shehla again shook her head

"We can't leave past because he have to learn from past, he betray us one time what's the chance that he won't do the same in future?''

"Don't think too much"

"We, are already left with nothing but a home in which we are living, ont give him chance to him take from us.

Shehla said and he shook his head.

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

Both were busy in arguing with each other. they both had different opinion about that matter but sometimes some unexpected things happenes with us, in the same way that Shehla and Tameem was going to witness.

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

Only 2 parts are left....

How was this one??
