The bell was ringing constantly after every minute and hearing this noise both Aarzo and Zohaib came out of their rooms. Ali just glanced at them and ran off to open the door before anyone else wakes up. So, his doubt was right. However, Ali was shocked to see them here and his mouth was half open because of the shock. Here Zohaib and Aarzo were wondering who could be on the door and why wasn't Ali saying something. "Let's go and check", Zohaib said, catching Aarzo's hand and moved her behind him telling that it can be a thief too. Aarzo also became a little scared and worried that Ali is stuck with that mysterious person. Zohaib and Aarzo were heading quietly towards their way and in seconds they were at the door, joining Ali. But what they saw infront of them shocked them more than Ali. "Surprise", the two persons standing infront of them cried together. "Now don't be this shocked. Didn't Zohaib told you that we are coming at this time?", one of the persons questioned Aarzo but she nodded her head in a NO. "Good! Cause we told him not to when we called him yesterday so that we can surprise you. Good work son!!!!", saying this the man patted Zohaib's back. Yes, it was Zohaib's parents, Mr and Mrs. Iftiqaar Shah. Now Aarzo gave an angry look to Zohaib which clearly said I-WON'T-LEAVE-YOU. How can he act so foolishly? He knew that it would be dangerous to tell his parents about her father as his father is a heart patient. Sara was indulged in her thoughts that Zohaib came to her and said "what would you have done if I had told you about them couple of hours ago?", he asked her as if he had read her mind. She was amused at that and then began to think that Zohaib was right. What could she have possibly done to prevent them from the truth? But she was still angry at him. If he told her earlier than maybe all of them could think of something. Aarzo was about to say something that she saw Zohaib's parents; her bade pa and badi chachi coming back with Ali as they have gone to pick up their luggage from the cab.
"Let's go kids!! Get in the house. I still have to surprise your dad, Aarzo", Zohaib's father said winking at Aarzo as he dragged all of them inside the house.
"Minhal!!! Minhal!!!!", Mr. Ifteqar shouted in excitement for his brother; Aarzo's father but nobody replied. "Actually Bade Pa, Badi Chachi, Papa is not at home. He …..h..e ….he haaasssssss gonee …….some..where..i…..I .. mean…he is oout…off…town", Aarzo blabbered out. She quickly showed her bade pa and badi chachi their room and told them to take some rest. As soon as she did that, she ran towards her room, followed by Zohaib. "Aarzo, look I am really sorry but Dad strictly told me not to tell anyone about it. You know that I can never ignore to do what my parents asked me." Zohaib apologized to her. "But what about the lie I have to tell to bade pa? I have never lied to him and today just because of YOU, I LIED TO HIM", Aarzo told him as tears started to flow from her eyes. She didn't know what she had just said to Zohaib. She has taken out all her frustrations on him as seeing her bade pa, she was again reminded of the pain of her father not being here. Zohaib wanted to go to her and console her, give her his shoulder to cry on. But he thought that it was best to leave her alone at this moment and let her cry as much as she want, so that she would release her pain through those tears. Ali was also standing outside Aarzo's room but didn't want to leave her alone like this. On the other hand, Zohaib had already left for his room. "Aru! Look at me! See, if you will cry than both Afia and Shiza will also wake up. So be quite. C'mon Aru", Ali tried to pacify her and to his luck, it worked. Aarzo became quite as she thought about Afia and Shiza. "Do you want water?", he asked her, still unsure if she was feeling okay. "No, I am fine but Ali can you please leave me alone for sometime. I just want to stay aside from everything at this moment.", she said in an apologetic way. Ali did exactly what she wanted and went from there to his room. Aarzo was now left alone with her two cousins sleeping peacefully on the kind sized bed. But here she was sitting near the window. Once again the tears started to flow from her eyes, very silently but her heart was crying loudly, inside her. There were two many reasons for her to shed those tears on. She didn't know why she behaved so rudely to Zohaib. 'But it was still his fault. Right?' she thought. 'Yes it WAS indeed' a voice said in her. It was the voice of her ego which didn't let her think anything beyond it. Aarzo didn't know when she dozed off in a deep sleep, sitting in the same place, thinking about the sudden incidents.
Aarzo opened her eyes, waking up from the deep sleep because of the noises outside of people talking. She was amused to see the time on the little kitty faced alarm clock on the side table. It was 1 o'clock in the afternoon. She quickly went to freshen up thinking how come she oversleep? She changed into a white coloured cotton shalwar kameez with sky blue hand embroidery on it. She entered the hall from where the noises were coming from. All of them were seated. Shiza and Afia were busy in conversation with Bade pa and Badi chachi. There was a glint on Shiza's face and why wouldn't there be one? Her parents were here. She was going to the kitchen to prepare something for all of them to eat but was told that they have already eaten the breakfast, long ago. Aarzo headed towards Zohaib and Ali's room. She had to talk to them and solve out the problem, roaming on her head. She thought that they would be asleep but to her surprise both were wide awake sitting on the bed, lost in thinking something. "ummm… Ali! I wanted to talk to you guys about…………….. telling Bade pa about my Dad.", she finished the line glancing at Zohaib, but it seemed as if he was ignoring her. 'No, cannot do this now! He have to talk to her and solve out this problem. And after the matter is resolved, he can ignore her as much as he wants.' She told herself. Sara sat with them saying, "If you think you can ignore me, than that's wrong. You have to sort this matter out with us as it was YOUR fault. I won't tell a single lie to Bade pa anymore just because of you", she said all this by looking at Zohaib. Anger was dropping from her eyes or was it all her frustrations and miseries that she was holding on to until now. Zohaib atlast looked at her and said "can we start on the main topic now? Or do you still have some outburst left to take out on me?". His voice was so calmed down that anybody else wouldn't have realized the sarcasm and frustration in it. Zohaib was becoming irritated from Aarzo's behaviour now. He has already said her 'sorry' earlier. Didn't he? Then why was she behaving like that with him. He understand that she has suffered a lot but why is he only being attacked? and that too like this, in such a harsh way. Aarzo's harsh words were hurting him in his heart. 'She can also talk it out with him but no Madam Aarzo is adamant to take her anger on him.' thought Zohaib. During all this, Ali was stuck in between both his cousins. At one moment, he would glance at Aarzo, fuming then the other moment he would watch Zohaib, frowning. 'What was happening??????', thought Ali and knew right there that this conversation is going to be veerryy veryyy looooooongggggggggggg.
"Are you even going to say something? Or I am wasting my time here?", Zohaib asked her. Aarzo, now just wanted to walk away but she couldn't. "I just want to say that we should tell bade pa about my Papa. It's been more than two weeks since he's gone. For how long will we be hiding this truth from him? We should first tell this to badi chachi and ask her what she wants us to do. And we can also consult to a doctor to ask if it will be okay for Bade pa to know this.", Aarzo finished whatever she has to say, basically she stated all her opinions and thoughts at once. For a minute it felt to Aarzo that both the boys are agreeing to what she is saying but Aarzo couldn't feel it anymore as Zohaib said "why are you so concerned? Huh. Why would you care if something happens to MY dad? As you have already lost your dad and now you are trying to hurt my dad.", he said it a mock anger without even thinking once what was he saying. It was the first time he was talking all nonsense. What happened to him all of a sudden? Ali and Aarzo, both were just so surprised, shocked, hurt, stunned to hear what Zohaib said.
Aarzo's condition was unbearable now. She was shivering from cold now. Her body was becoming numb but she was unable to respond to it. Zohaib's words kept ringing in her mind "Why would you care if something happens to MY dad? As you have already lost your dad and now you are trying to hurt my dad". 'Was she really this bad? But.. but she has never want to hurt anybody intentionally' she thought in her mind. All of a sudden, everything became blurred out infront of her. She was loosing her balance and caught the first thing which was near her. It was Ali's shirt, she was clinging on. Her grip loosened as she was about to fall that Ali caught her in the nick of time. He shouted "Aaru", who have now lost her senses, becoming unconscious. As Ali shouted her name, Zohaib who has almost gone out of the room, turned back to see what happened. He was just so lost, and thinking about all the things he have just said to her. He acted like a two year old. Even the two year olds know how to behave and talk nicely. He regretted all the things he said to Aarzo as soon as he realized what he had ACTUALLY said by seeing the effect of his harsh words on Aarzo. Panic surrounded him as ran towards them, where Aarzo was lying unconscious on the ground with her head in Ali's hand as he tried to wake her, calling her name constantly.
