"Yeh kaise hua?" Shahzain asked Hanan, as he examine his pajama, Khushnuma took a huge gasp by seeing the condition of it

(How did this happened?)

"Mujhe nahi maloom." Hanan mumbled, trying to control his anger, he wasn't looking at his parents but at floor

(I don't know.)

Hanan was wearing a plain black joggers with t shirt, obviously he can't go to his parents in towel

"Tumhe nahi maloom? Tumhe nahi maloom toh kisko maloom Hai?" At last Shahzain raised his voice a little which removed all Hanan's anger

(You don't know? You don't know then who knows it?)

"Papa, mujhe Kya pata? Jo Mera kapda leke aya Hai ussey puchiye." Looking at his father, Hanan said

(How would I know? Ask the person who has brought my clothes.)

"Sahi toh keh raha Hai, ussey Kya maloom hoga, do ghante se toh yeh bathroom mein tha." Khushnuma said, siding with her only son while taking the pajama from Shahzain's hand

(He is right, how would he know when he was in bathroom for two hours.)

"Do ghante?" This made Shahzain's eyes winded as he avert his attention from his son to wife then again looked at Hanan for confirmation

(Two hours?)

"Apni marzi se nahi Tha, Pani nahi araha Tha." Before he could get scolding for spending two hours in bathroom from his father, Hanan explained

(I wasn't there with my will, tap didn't had water.)

"Yeh sari tragedy tumhare sath aaj hi kyu ho rahi Hai?" Shahzain rasied his eyebrows at Hanan

(Why you are facing all these tragedy today?)

"Mujhe Kya maloom, apni ladli se puchiye." The last sentence Hanan mumbled which wasn't clear

(I don't know. Ask your favorite daughter about it.)

"Kya? Kya kaha tumne? Ayat ka naam liya na tumne." But Shahzain heard him and asked, taking one step forward making Hanan took one step backward

(What? What did you just said? You took Ayat's name?)

"Papa, uske alawa aur kissey shokh Hai colours ka? Ussi ne kiya hoga." Hanan frustratedly said, why no one believes him when it comes to Ayat?

(She is the only in this family who plays with colours, it's definitely her doing.)

"Chup! Ek lafz nahi, ek to bechari masoom ladki tumse shaadi bhi Kar rahi Hai aur uppar se tum uspe ilzam laga rahe ho."

(Shut up! I don't want to hear a word, that poor innocent girl is getting married to you and you are putting accusation on her.)

Again! Hanan would balme his parents because of whom Ayat has become a brat

They are the one who spoiled her this extreme. Otherwise she won't have this much guts to ruin his clothes or somehow stop the water from his tap

"Woh itni bhi bechari aur masoom nahi Hai, ladaka Hai ek number ki, usko nahi karni mujhse Shaadi isliye woh yeh sab Kar rahi Hai." Saying as if the whole world is trying to oppressed him, Hanan complained to his parents about Ayat

(She isn't poor or innocent like you said, she don't want to marry me that's why she is doing all of this.)

"Uska chorho mujhe tumhare irade theek nahi lag rahe Hain." Shahzain once again scolded him
