A girl is sleeping peacefully suddenly her whole body start shivering due to fear she start murmuring.

"Nhi... Nhi nhi please..... Please chod do... Jaane do... Pa.... Papa ba.. Bacchao.... Mum... Mumma... Bacchao... Dar.... Dard.. Ho raha.... Please baccho".

She start shouting and crying, her breathe is not in her control she try to take breathe. A lady come in her room and hug her tightly..."bass shehnaaz bass kar baccha bass bass" she patted her back. Finally shehnaaz open her eyes, her forehead is cover with sweat, her whole body is shivering, her breathe is uneven. "Kya hua baccha phir se wahi sapna dekha" she stroke her head. Shehnaaz nodded her head her eyes filled with tears. She hug the Lady tightly.

"am... amma phir.... phir se wo... wo sab ab.... nahi... nahi... ho raha...mujhse... mujhe nahi.... jee... jeena... ab" she said while crying loudly.

Farida Begum.... Her house caretaker... She is only supporter of Shehnaaz after her bhai bhabhi . She is taking care of her when shehnaaz was 5 years old. Shehnaaz is very close to her. She is taking care of her like her own child. Shehnaaz called her amma bi.

"Thappad padhega tere shehnaaz aese kese ye bol diya ha, tujhe meri fikar nahi hai" she asked her softly.

Shehnaaz shook her head "aesa... aesa nahi hai amma bi... magar... magar" she hide her face between her palms and sob . Amma bi hold her hands and move her hands from her face then wiped her tears with her duppatta.

"Nahi meri jaan rote nahi" she hug her.

"Amma bi nahi ho raha ab mujhse.... nahi ho raha... mar rahi hu ro... roz...roz" she said taking hiccups.

"Bass meri jaan shant hoja dekh sab sahi hoga kuch nahi hoga samjhi aur ye marne marane ki baat ki to humse bura koi nahi hoga samjhi aap" she warn her.

Shehnaaz said whil still crying "mere saath hi kiu?".

"Kuch cheeze ka jawab hamare pass nahi hota hai beta acha aapne dawai li thi?" Shehnaaz shook her head ."Kiu nhi li rukiye main deti hu". She give her medicine and make her laid on the bed then she also laid with her on shehnaaz demand. Shehnaaz hug her tightly.
Both get into deep slumber after sometime.

........

In morning.

Shehnaaz get ready for office. She look herself in mirror then smile sadly.

Shehnaaz : "kya zindagi jee rahi hu main ye khokli zindagi kiu aur main jee hi kiu rahi hu?". She asked herself. Then went toward hall.

......

Her family members are eating their breakfast with lots of fun without her. This is her life no body cares of her. This is nothing new for her.

"Good morning" she said while giving a sweet smile. Everyone look at her but then ignore her like she never exist between them. She sadly smile.

She lives in a joint family but there is no one who can take care of her, she is totally alone in her own family.

She take a deep breathe "shaant shaant shehnaaz shaant" she console herself. She sit on her chair and start having breakfast.

"Maharani ji kabhi jaldi bhi uth jaya karo" her dadi taunt her. Shehnaaz press her lips and try to control her tears.

"Rehne de na maa shehnaaz beta kya legi" Her mother love her but not like the way she love her son and younger daughter, she only talk nice with her otherwise she compair her with others. And this is the most painful feeling for anyone, The word COMPARISON hurt the most when your own family members specially your parents compair you with your own brother and sister. Same goes with shehnaaz she is totally opposite of her brother and sister, they are extrovert while she is introvert, they talk without thinking anything while she think twice before talk to anyone, they have a huge friend circle while she have only two three real friends. She is not like this but situation made her like this. Before the incident happen in her life She is just like them but sometimes destiny play with us and make us totally different personality we are before.

"Shehnaaz aaj bhi office jaana hai kab chodogi ye office" her father said without looking at her.

She gulped her saliva and said in slow voice "ji... ji pa.. papa jaana hai mag... mgar office kiu cho..chodungi".

Vihan her younger brother laugh on her "kya di itna haqla kar kiu baat karti hai".

Shruti her younger sister also laughed on her "are tujhe nahi pata inko slow bolne ki bimari hai ek word ko bolne me ye ek ghanta laga deti hai" they give hifi to eachother. While shehnaaz only look down having tears in her eyes.

They stop laughing when they hear their elder brother voice "kuch zayda hi hasi nahi aa rahi tum dono ko".

"bha...bhai... wo... hum..." She fumbled while talking.

Vidyut gill and Nargis khan gill.
He is elder brother of Shehnaaz, after amma bi he support shehnaaz he is a family man loves her sister and wife alot because both feel unwanted in their own family. Gill family never accept his wife because she is muslim but he love her, going against to his family he married her and shehnaaz support them. He love shehnaaz from bottom of his heart.

"Ab kon haqla raha hai" he cross his hand above his chest. "Bolo".

"Are chodo beta" her father said disinterested in his family matter.

"Kiu dad aur shehnaaz tum bol nahi sakti thi inhe kuch ab to roz roz ka ho gaya hai" he said in anger.

"Ha to tu chup reh jab wo kuch nahi bol rahi to tu kiu uski taraf daari kar raha hai" she said angrily "dekha sukh" to shehnaaz father "bola tha beti hui to chod aana kisi aanath aashram me lekin nahi ab jhelo wese hi muh kala karke phirti hai".

"Bass kar de dadi aapne socha agar aapke maa baap bhi yahi sochte to aap yaha nahi hoti" he said greeted his teeth.

"Vidyut maa hai meri tameez se baat kar" he shout on him.

"To wo bhi aapki hi beti hai aur meri behen aur ye maa hone se pehele ek aurat hai aur usse bhi pehele ek insaan hai aur ye sab meri behen ke liye kese bol sakti hai" he shout back.

"Dekh le shehnaaz sab teri wajhe se ho raha hai are acha hota peda hote hi maar dete tujhe to jab se peda hui hai bojh bankar padi hai hamare upar".

"Maa please aesa nahi bole" Pammi ji try to stop her.

"Kya galat bola bhabhi maa ne haad hoti hai ek cheez ki roz ek insaan ke wajhe se is ghar me ladaiya hoti hai". Her chachi interrupt between them.

"Tum chup raho bich me mat bolo sabke" her husband try to stop her.

That's is for shehnaaz she stood up and shout "bass" tears start flowing from her eyes "main problem hu na sabki theek hai chali jaaungi.... chali jaungi yaha se".

"Ek thappad marunga tujhe bakwas ki to" he said angrily.

"Acha aur jayegi kaha, phir se muh kala karwa kar aayegi ha bol".

"Dadi bass kariye please". Nargis request her to stop but dadi shout on her.

"Ae ladki tu mat hi bol hamare ghar ke maamlo me samjhi" nargis look down, her eyes filled with tears.

"Dadi aap meri biwi se baat kar rahi hai aur koi aese usse baat kare ye mujhe bardast nahi" he roar like a lion.

"bhabhi please aap na bole" Shehnaaz said in cracking voice.

"shehnaaz aesi baat nahi hai" she said slowly.

Shehnaaz smile sadly "kisiko mere wajhe se ladne ki zarurat nahi hai mein chali jaungi kahi dur kisiko fikar karne ki zarurat nahi" she add a line but said slowly that no one hear her "aur phir kabhi nahi aaungi bohot dur chali jaaungi".

"Shehnaaz " vidyut shout.

"bhai meri wajhe se aapka ghar bigde main ye kabhi nahi chahungi agar sab ko mere chale jaane se khushi milegi to main chali jaaungi jald hi" she said while smiling and left vidyut, nargis and amma bi try to stop her but she didn't stop and move from there.
.....

She is walking on a road,she plug her earphones in her ears and start listening music she watch people carefully everyone is busy in their own world and she saw a dog is trying to cross the road with their babies but nobody stop for them. She smile looking at them . She help that dog to cross the road. The mother dog start lick her legs and the dogs babies start roam around her she smile on them.

"Atleast tum log to mujhe pyaar karte ho" she stroke their head's and give them some biscuits from her bag.
She move from there but mumma dog and her kids follow her. "Babies main aap logo ko apne saath nahi le ja sakti" she love them atleast they are loyal to her she just help them in crossing road and they love her back while her own family disrespect her daily, her own parents didn't support her they treat her like a trash. Her eyes filled with tears and drop on her pink cheeks. The mumma dog start lick her face like she clean her tears. Shehnaaz smile sadly. "Kaash tumhari tarha hi koi hota jo meri feelings samjhta aur mere aashu pochta but shayd" she take a deep breathe "but shayd mere liye koi bana hi nahi hai jo mujhe samjhe mera saath de mere liye stand le but khair chodo" she smile sadly "chalo mein chali shaam ko milti hu wait karna mera ok" she kiss on their forehead and left for her office.
....

She enter in office, kiran her colleague runs toward her.

Sge huffed "yaar Shehnaaz tereko editor ne bulaya hai".

"Kiu?".

"Don't know bro but gusse me the ja jaldi".

"ik". She thought in her mind "rabba mehr karna".

She enter in cabin "mam aapne bulaya?".

"Yes Shehnaaz please have a seat".

Shehnaaz sat on the chair "mam koi problem hai?".

"Dekho Shehnaaz me baat ghuma phira kar nahi bolungi but dekho tumhari books par response bohot kam ho gaya hai aur tum kaafi achi post par ho but ".

Shehnaaz smile sadly "aap mujhe nikalna chahate hai?".

"Aesa nahi hai shehnaaz but tumhe ye post chodni hogi tumhari jagha koi deserving candidate ko ye post milegi samjho".

She stood up "koi baat nahi mam aapke saath kaam karke acha laga" she smile.

"Excuse me?".

"Mera resignation letter aapko mil jayega, ye post mujhe bhik me nahi mili apni mehnat se yaha tak pohochi hu main aur aap aaj is wajhe se mujhe hata rahe hai just because meri books par response nahi aa raha to sorry mam mujhe bhi shok nahi hai yaha kaam karne ka likhna mera passion hai meri majburi nahi yaha se nahi to kahi aur se likhungi, Acha laga aapke saath kam kareke" she said and left the office directly.
