It's 5 in the morning. Everyone is sleeping after fazar namaz except Afrin who have to prepare breakfast for everyone. It's her everyday work. She does almost every work in the haveli. After her parents death she live with her 3 mamu - mumani and lots of cousins. Her nanajaan and her Zarina and Aamna Mumani does not like her. Because they think she is the reason of her parents death. She also blame herself because it was her birthday and she wants to go outing with them. She thinks that if they didn't went that day out than they must been alive.
Her older mumani Salma enter the kitchen and said , "Afrin prepare korma, rumali roti, biryani, kabab, simple chicken and rice and also naan for today. Azaan is coming so prepare everything before lunch. And prepare gazar ka halwa also. It's his favourite sweet dish. "
Her badi mumani act naturally with her. She doesn't taunt her. Her badi mumani knows that Afrin made the best food in haveli. She also teaches online to girls to earn some income. Everyone in haveli know that Afrin naver say no for any work they asked. She thinks that their mamu provide her and her brother shelter is enough for her. She doesn't demand nor complain. Her parents left some money for them and she is also earning which is enough for her and her brother's daily necessities.
After preparing lunch, she was thinking about Azaan. She had never seen Azaan. She only knows that he is her bade mamu's older son and he live in France for business. She also heard that he is very hot tempered. His all cousins are afraid of him and also respect him. She made the decision that she will avoid him. Who knows he also not like her just like their other cousins.
She is youngest in all cousins but she does all the works. She is doing her education online because she doesn't have money and she doesn't want to be a burden. That's why she does all work of the house.
After making dishes Afrin enter in her room which is small and cozy. A simple bed in the middle of the room. And a cupboard in the corner of the room. And a dressing table which is old. After that she freshing up and wear simple pink kurti pant.
She is so much naive that she don't know that how much she effects people by her beauty and simplicity. She doesn't need any makeup to look beautiful. Her so many male cousins also like her but she doesn't even know that.
Afrin enter her baby brother Ali room which is attached to her room. She saw Ali was already weak up.
"Ali baby are you ready for school? " After hearing her sister's voice Ali smile brightly.
Ali said, "appi don't call me baby. I'm 5 years old. Ab mai bara ho gaya hu. Appi mene suna hai aaj bare Bhaijaan aane vale hai. Appi vo muje pasand to karenge na." ( Now I'm a big boy. Appi I have heard that today bhaijaan is coming back. Will he like me??)
"Ali vo aap ko zarur pasand karenge. Bas aap unse tameez se bat kariyega or milte hi salam kahiyega." ( Yes. He will like you. Just you have to talk to him with respect and say salam when you show him.)
" Jee appi" Ali said.( Yes appi)
" Let's go have your breakfast and go to school when you come back from school then meet bhaijaan. Ohk."
Ali said , " jee appi" ( yes appi)
After breakfast and doing all the chores she is going to garden when her 3 cousins Jannat, Mahira, Hifza come to her.
" Don't you dare to go in dining area in lunch because our mothers and we don't want that Azaan see your face. Understood." Said Jannat.
"Jee appi."
"Vese bhi tumhari manhus shakal dekh kar kuch ulta ho jaye." Said Hifza. ( If he will show your dirty face don't know what will happen)
"Jee appi."
After breaking a poor soul heart they left Afrin in the corridor. And she knows that they are right if she go there her mumani will definitely taunt her.
Only if she know that she is so beautiful and naive she can win anyone heart without doing anything thats why her girl cousins hate her except Zoya. She is her friend who always share her things with her.
That's why her cousins did not want her to come infront of Azaan. They know that their beauty is nothing infront of her simplicity. They like Azaan from childhood and know that Azaan only see them as sisters.
After gathering herself Afrin come in garden and water the plant. She loves plants it's give her happiness.
After doing watering she come to her room and take seat in bed. There are many things that is roaming in her mind.
Kya kabhi meri qismat badalegi?
Kya kabhi muje khush hone ka moka milega?
Kya kabhi mere Nanajaan muje apnayenge?
Kya kabhi muje koi pyar karega?
Only if she knew that Allah already made her fate and her fate is waiting for her in her gate only .
