"Mai aap logo se baat karne mei kyu waqt barbaad kar raha hu, seedha ussi ko le aata hu jis ke baare mei baat ho rahi hai" hamza said making everyone shocked specially his dear mother note the sarcasm behind 'dear'.

"Tujhe pataa hai meri hala kahaan hai Hamza. Jaa le aa usse bache" his dadi asked with hope. "Le aaya dadi, le aaya" he said with a small smile before going out to get hala.

Everyone were numb to see Hala coming back with Hamza. As soon as hala spotted her dadi, she ran to her embrace and started crying. "Haaye meri bachi, kahaan chali gayi thi. Kahaan se milli yeh Hamza" Dadi exclaimed.

"Bhediyon se pehle kuch kutte mil gye thhe, kutton ki khasiyat yeh hoti hai ki wo sirf jaan ke dushman hote hai, agar koi insaani bedhiya mil jaata fir...aur aapne isse ghar se nikal diya ammi" he asked accusing.

All present there were shook at this. "Shalimaar 6 baje nikalti hai, uske saamne leit jaana, yahi kahaa tha na aapne isse ammi....6 to baj ge, balki iss waqt 7 baj rahe hai, aur Shalimar bhi nikal gayi, lekin hala to bilkul sahi salamat hai, kitna afsos ho rahaa hoga na aapko" Hamza further said.

"Kya, ShahJahan ne nikala" dadi asked I'm anger.

"Haan" taijaan accepted bluntly. "Tera beda gark ho jaaye Shah Jahan" cursing taijaan, dadi threw one of her sandel at her which dodged off.

Not able to resist, Jalees asked "Kyu nikala Hala ko aapne bhabhi"

"To aur kya karti, yahaan isse apne bete ko fasaate hue dekhti rehti" taijaan glared at Hala who was with dadi.

"Seriously ami !? Agar koi mujhse kehta na ki yeh aapne kiya hai to mai na maanta, bilkul nahi maanta, lekin guzre saalon mei jo ravaiyaa jo salukh aapka Hala ke saath hai na, uske baat mujhe ab hairat hi nahi hai" a tearful Hamza said.

"Agar aaj Hala mujhe phone na karti, to na jaane kya hota" Hamza said.

"Phone, kaunsa phone, Hala ke pass phone kahaan se aaya" Raees asked

Seeing this as an opportunity taijaan played her next move "Iske aashiq ne diya hai isse, roz raat ko ghanto baithke uss se baatein karti hai yeh, maine btaya na abhi, wo sadak chaap ladka"

"Aap hala ke baare mei aur kuch nahi bolengi amo"

Enraged at this taijaan spoke,"tum mujhse aise baat kar sakte ho Hamza, aur, aur tum is badkirdar ladki ki side le rahe ho"

"Badkirdaar nahi hai Hala, aap sab ke zulmon ki maari hai bechari. Itne saal usse tadpa kar chain nahi mila jo aap yahaan tak aa gyien." Hamza yelled in favor of Hala.

"Hala kya yeh ShahJahan sach keh rahi hai ? Kya tu sach mei kisi ladke se raat ko baat karti thi ? Sach bataana, tujhe meri kasam" Dadi asked Hala keeping Halas hand on her head as a significance of swearing. Already in a crying state hala just nods minutely, shocking everyone and specially dadi.

"Dekha, dekha maine kahaa tha na" taijaan raised her voice seeing her victory coming close.

"Haan karti thi Hala baat, prr kya aap jaante hai kis se karti thi ? Uss ladke ke baare mei kuch pata hai aapko ?" Hamza asked. Seeing no response he continued. "Mujhse karti thi, Jis se aapne Hala ko baat karte dekha tha wo mai hu, aaj nahi, kal nahi, pichhle 4 saalon se, aur yeh phone bhi Hala ko maine diya hai. Maine dekha hai app usse kaise treat karti hai, isiliye, yeh jaan ne ke liye ki mere peeche se Hala theek hai ya nahi, maine usse phone diya." Stopping for a moment he started again "Bohot mushkil tha Hala ko convince karna, lekin maine kiya, poore 2 mahine lage, 2 mahine baad usne btana shuru kiya, ki yahaan yske saath kya go rahaaa hai roz roz wo kis daur se guzar rahi hai mujhe sab btati thi."

That came as the biggest shock for everyone. Hala had a phone, she used to talk to Hamza, they were in contact and he knew what was happening here...!? All this was too much for them to process.

Kneeling before dadi, beside Hala, Hamza took dadi's hand in his and asked her "Yaad hai dadi, ek baar maine aapse poocha tha ki Hala aisa shant, sadme mei kyu rehti hai" getting a nod from dadi he continued "tab aapne mujhe kahaa tha Hala ka khayaal rakhne ko, kyunki Hala meri hone wali biwi, tab se lekar aaj tak mai roz yahi soch ke mehnat karta hu kii mai kisi mukaam prr pauhach jau, aur Hala ko wo sab du jiski wo haqdaar hai, usse wo har cheez du jo wo chaahti hai...ab mai uss kabil hu dadi, mai apne bal prr Hala ka khayaal rakh sakta hu, aur isiliye aaj mai aapse apni biwi maangta hu, mujhe meri Hala de dejiye, mai nahi chaahta Hala ek din bhi inke rehmo karam prr rahe, mai aaj hi Hala se shaadi karna chaahta hu, usse legally apni biwi bnana chaahta hu, taaki yeh sab log (he said pointing at his family) apni hadein na Parr kar sake, Mai chahta hu Hala poore haq se iss ghar mei rahe. Hala Nafees nahi, Hala Hamza bankrr" he said with sincerity.

Views and comments awaited.
