Umeed desperately closed her eyes and leaned her head against the seat, Sameer looked at her sister who was looking sad.

"Umeed, kya hua hai?" Sameed asked curiously.

"Kuch nahi, ghar chalo" Umeed replied in husky voice.

Sameer started driving and they went from the Bahadur house. After couple of minutes, they reached outside the Pasha house. Umeed eyes was totally red, Sameer again looked at him and got tensed.

"Umeed, tum ro rahi ho, kya hua hai?" Sameer asked in concern

Umeed confidently looked at him, "nahi, kuch nahi" She smiled.

"Chalo andar sab sogaye hain, ham andar chalte hain, Haya wait karahi hogi" Sameer said softly, they went outside the car and Haya looked at them from balcony, she came and opened the gate for them.

"Umeed, kesi rahi party?" Haya asked excitingly.

"Bht yaad gar" Umeed replied softly and lightly chuckled, tears were forming in her eyes.

Umeed quietly enters in the house and directly enters in her room, Haya and Sameer realized that something was happened, they went behind her. They enters in the room and saw that Umeed was not present, they sat on the bed. After sometime, Umeed came outside the washroom after freshen up. They looked at her and Umeed just smiled.

"Umeed, kya hua hai, tum itna chup kyu ho?" Haya asked.

"Nahi Haya, kuch nahi hua" Umeed replied softly, went towards her bed but Haya held her hands.

"Nahi, kuch to hua hai, tum hamesha Farjaad ke ghar se itna khushi khushi ati ho" Haya said confidently.

Umeed lowered her glaze, she can't controlled herself, she burst into tears, the tears were falling from her eyes like a heavy rain. Her heart was crying, her brain was crying. Sameer and Haya got hell shocked after looking at her like this.

"Umeed, tum roo kyu rahi ho, kya hua hai?" Haya asked, got tensed.

Umeed hugged her tightly, Haya hugged her back. Sameer was just startled, looked at them with depressed face.

"Umeed, meri jaan jab tak mujhe bataogi nahi to mein solution kese nikalongi" Haya again asked, while covering her in her arms.

"Haya, meri mohabbat har gai" Umeed said in a low voice while crying.

"Kya hua, kya kehrahi ho?" Haya asked, didn't understand what she wanted to said.

"Farjaad kisi aur ko pasand karte hain" Umeed told and again burst into tears.

Sameer and Haya remained silent, they both looked at each other with desperate face. Umeed broke the hugged and wiped her tears, sat on the bed. Haya sat beside her, Sameer sat on his kness, infront of her.

"Tum isliye itna depressed ho?" Sameer asked.

"Mein har gai, meri mohabbat har gai" Umeed said and fakely smiled.

"Umeed, tumhe meinay kaha tha ke apne dil ki baat Farjaad ko batado lekin tumne meri ek nahi suni" Haya said.

"Kya karti Haya, aj bata rahi thi lekin wo Reena ko pasand karte hain, mujhe dar lagta tha ke kahin wo mujh se dur na hojaye, lekin wo mujh se hamesha ke liye dur hogaye hain" Umeed responded in desperate voice, she was breathing voice.

"Umeed, ham tumhare liye kya kar sakte hain?" Sameer asked meekly, wiped her tears.

"Mere liye dua karo ke mein Farjaad ko bhool jaon, Allah mere dil iski mohabbat khatam karde" Umeed requested, her eyes was red, still tears were falling.

"Bhool jaogi, tum bas iske bare mein sochna chordo" Haya ordered to her.

"Koi sans lena chor sakta hai?" Umeed said, looked at Haya with puppy face.

"Umeed, tum pagal hojaogi" Haya said tensely.

"Meri mohabbat mein shayad koi kami rehgai hai, isliye kismat ne mujhe khud Farjaad se dur kardia" Umeed said, wiped her tears.

"Tumhari mohabbat mein kami nahi hai, aise mat kaho, abhi sirf pasand karta hai iski shaadi to nahi hui na" Haya explained her.

"Wo bhi hojaigi, wo mohabbat kisi aur se karta hai" Umeed said.

"Lekin tum hi to kehti thi na ke zarori nahi ke ap kisi se mohabbat karein to wo bhi ap se mohabbat kare" Sameer said, tried to consoled her.

"Han, lekin in sare ansoon ke sath, meri takleef bhi beh rahi hai" Umeed said, again burst into tears.

Sameer and Haya eyes were teary, they were also crying. Umeed kept her head on Haya's lap and closed her eyes, Haya started patting her head. Sameer stood up, sat on Haya's bed while shooking his head.

"Haya, mein aj rona chahti hun, kya mein aisi tumhari goud mein sar rakh kar ro sakti hun" Umeed said while crying, Haya nodded her head.

"Tum akele nahi roo rahi hun, mein bhi roo rahi hun, ham dono sath mein rote hain, shayad tumhare dil ko sukoon miljain" Haya said, wiping her tears.

Suddenly, Umeed started breathing heavily. Umeed stood up, Sameer and Haya looked at her shockingly.

"Umeed, kya hogaya hai?" Sameer asked curiously.

Umeed was breathing heavily, "Haya, pani?" Umeed walked up, she was still breathing heavily. Haya and Sameer held her and suddenly Umeed fell on ground, she was shivering like hell, breathing heavily. Umeed got unconsious. Haya and Sameer shouted her name, started rubbing her hands, tried to made her consious.

"Haya, Umeed ko anxiety attack aya hai, ham hospital chalte hain, jaldi karo" Sameer said abruptly, they hold her arms and slowly went towards the car, Sameer opened the back seat, Haya sat there while holding Umeed in her arm. She kept her head on her lap. Sameer quickly started driving and they went for the hospital.

Haya and Sameer were impatiencely waiting for the doctor, they were walking tensely. Doctor came outside the room.

"Wo doctor, Umeed theek to hai na?" Sameer asked in curiosity.

"Inko anxiety attack aya hai, wese bhi inhe light asthema hai, wo bht depressed hai lekin hamne inhe injection dedia hai, thori der ap inhe rest karne den phir wo normal hojaingi" Doctor explained them, leaves from there.

"Sameer, hamai Pasha sahab ko call kardeni chaiye" Haya said.

"Han, theek hai, mein call karke ata hun, tum yahi betho" Sameer agreed, went from there.

Suddenly Haya's phone started ringing, the screen showing the name of "Mimi" Haya received the call.

"Hii Haya, Umeed ka phone band jaraha hai, sab theek to hai, wo ghar phonch gai?" Mimi asked in concern.

"Mimi, Umeed hospital mein hai" Haya told her in tensed tone.

"Kya? Kya hua Umeed ko?" Mimi asked seriously, got hell tensed.

Haya told her about the situation and condition of Umeed.

"Haya, tum fikar nahi karo, mein hospital arahi hun" Mimi said hurrily.

"Nahi, tum rehne subah ajana" Haya suggested.

"Nahi, mein arahi hun, Umeed ko itni takleef uthani parh rahi hai" Mimi got embrassed.

"Theek hai Mimi, jese tumhari marzi, mein location bhej rahi hun" Haya said.

"Ok, mein arahi hun, bye" Mimi said softly.

"Bye" they disconnected the call. Haya sat on the chair.

"Mimi, what happened beta?" Niggo Ji asked curiously.

"Maa, jaldi se hospital jana hai, Umeed hospital mein admit hogai hai" Mimi replied tensely.

"Kya, kya hua Umeed ko, achi khasi to thi?" Shujaat Sahab got panicked.

"Baba, pata nahi ise shayad anxiety attack aya aur wo behosh hogai, Haya ka phone kia tha to isne mujhe bataya hai" Mimi lied.

"Acha, hamai hospital jana chaiye, pata nahi Umeed kis hal mein hogi" Shujaat Sahab concerned.

"Han, chalein mein change karke ati hun" Niggo Ji said quickly.

*********

Umeed was laying on the bed, her face was covered with oxygen mask, eyes was closed. Haya and Sameer were sitting on the sofa, tensely looked at her. Hilal Pasha and Pasha Sahab were walking in the room, tensed for Umeed.

After couple of minutes, Mimi, Niggo Ji and Shujaat Sahab enters in the room, both families greeted each other.

Beta, Umeed ki tabiyat kesi hai?" Shujaat Sahab asked to Sameer.

"Uncle, abhi injection dia hai, thori der tak behtar hojaigi" Sameer replied meekly.

"Ap logo bewaja takalluf kia" Pasha Sahab complained softly.

"Kesi batein karahe hain Pasha sahab, Umeed hamari bhi to beti hai aur Mimi ki itni achi dost bhi to hai" Shujaat Sahab said kindly.

"Ham sab bahar chalte, Umeed ko rest ki zarorat hai" Niggo Ji interuppted.

"Han maa, ap sab bahar bethen, mein aur Haya yahi rukte hain" Mimi said.

They nodded their heads, leaves from there. Mimi and Haya sat on the sofa.

"Ye Umeed ki halat ki zimmedar mein hun" Mimi said, feeled guilty.

"Nahi Mimi, ye to kismat ki baat hai na ke Farjaad ko Umeed se mohabbat nahi hai" Haya said, consoled her while keeping her hand on her shoulder.

Umeed slowly slowly opened her eyes, Mimi and Haya happily looked at each other, they stood up and went to her. Umeed slowly removed her oxygen mask.

"Umeed, tum theek to ho na?" Mimi asked in concern.

"Mimi, Farjaad theek to hain na, meinay inhe khuwab mein rote hue dekha hai" Umeed asked, got panicked.

"Umeed, tum tension mat lou, Farjaad bhai theek hain" Mimi said, consoled her.

"Han, tum stress nahi lou, tumhari tabiyat theek nahi hai" Haya said softly, tried to relaxed her.

Umeed again burst into tears, "meri mohabbat mein kami rehgai hai, tabhi Farjaad mujh se dur hogaye hain"

"Meri Umeed ki mohabbat bht pure hai, aise nahi kehte shayad bhai ne hi apne liye galat intekhab kia hai" Mimi slowly wiped her tears, started patting her head. Umeed desperately closed her eyes and after couple of minutes, she fell asleep.

"Haya, tum jakar sab ko bahar batado ke Umeed ko hosh agaya tha aur wo sogai hai, taake sab tensed free hojain" Mimi said softly.

Haya nodded her head, went outside the room.

*********

Haya reached outside and told everyone about Umeed's condition.

"Baba, ab ap ghar chale jain, mein yahan sab sambhal longa" Sameer insisted him.

"Aree, mein apni beti ko aise kese chor kar chala jaon, tum pagal hogaye ho?" Pasha Sahab scolded.

"Baba, subah hone wali hai, ap jaye aur aram karein, mein sab sambhal longa" Sameer said, again insisted him.

"Sameer, yahan sirf ek hi person stay karsakta hai, isliye tum bhi baba aur Pasha sahab ko lekar ghar chale jaon" Haya said, interuppted.

"Haya, tum akele kese sambhalogi?" Niggo Ji asked in concern.

"Aunti, mein manage karlongi, ap log bhi ghar jaye aur rest karein" Haya responded to Niggo Ji, suggested them.

"Haya, koi bhi problem ho to call kardena" Hilal Pasha ordered.

"Ok baba, filhal ap log jaiye aur rest karein" Haya said softly.

"Haya beta, Mimi ko bahar bhejdo, wo bht pareshan horahi thi, tum ise samjhado aur kaho ke baad mein dobara ajaye" Shujaat Sahab requested to her.

"Uncle, mein ise mana longi, ap log bhi dobara milne ajaiye ga" Haya replied respectfully.

"Han, shukriya Shujaat sahab ke apne itni zehmat ki" Pasha Sahab said, his voice fill with gratitude.

"Umeed meri bhi beti hai, mein iske liye itna to kar hi sakta hun" Shujaat Sahab replied and smiled.

*********

Shujaat Sahab, Niggo Ji and Mimi reached in their home, they enters in the house and Farjaad was leaving for his morning walk, looked at them surprisely.

"Aree, ap log subah subah kahan se arahe hain?" Farjaad asked jokingly with smile.

Niggo Ji told everything about Umeed's situation and condition.

"To ap log mujhe utha dete, mein bhi sath chalta" Farjaad said.

"Bhai ham bht jaldi mein gaye the isliye apko tang nahi kia" Mimi replied.

"To Mimi, tum subah chali jati, itni bhi kya jaldi thi" Farjaad advised in relaxing tone.

"Agar Umeed ki jagah Reena hoti to tab bhi ap yahi kehte?" Mimi asked in sarcastic way.

"What you mean by this? Tum Umeed ko Reena se compare karahi ho?" Farjaad yelled.

"Nahi, dono ka koi comparison nahi hai, ek heera hai aur dusra pathar" Mimi replied rudely, went towards her room without argument.

"Maa, Baba ap dekh rahe hain ke Mimi kitni batameez hogai hai" Farjaad complained strictly.

"Beta, Umeed Mimi ke liye bheno se barh kar hai, tum kyu ise tang karte ho?" Shujaat Sahab said, defended Mimi.

"Jo bhi hai lekin ap log Reena ke ghar rishta lekar kab jaingay?" Farjaad asked curiously.

"Abhi Umeed hospital mein admit hai, ham aisi situation mein kese jasakte hain?" Niggo Ji advised.

"To maa, i know ke Umeed hospital mein admit hai aur hamai iski kheriyat pochni chaiye aur mein pochlonga lekin is mein itna tensed hone wali kya baat hai" Farjaad said and irritated.

"Tum ek baar phir sochlo ke tumhe Reena se hi shaadi karni hai?" Shujaat Sahab asked.

"Ofcourse, i like her" Farjaad said confidently and smiled.

"Tumne apne liye khud hi decision lelia hai to tumhari marzi, ham Reena ke parents se baat karlenge aur kal tumhare rishte ke liye jaingay" Shujaat Sahab agreed.

"Thank you dad, ap log jakar rest karein aur mein walk par jaraha hun, bye" Farjaad said and greeted, leaves for their walk.

"Mimi ne sahi kaha hai ke Umeed heera hai aur Reena pathar lekin Farjaad ko ye baat samaj nahi arahi" Shujaat Sahab got tensed.

"Meinay bhi Farjaad ke liye Umeed ko choose kia tha lekin shayad this is not possible"
