And she doesn't know that it was just the beginning of her misery

Author's POV (Edited)
New day brings new hope for everyone. The bright sun rays egnited the passion for achieving something in the lives of people. Everyone looked forward for the new day. Almost everyone start their day with the hope of spending their day peacefully and happily. No one wanted to experience any bad thing the first in the morning. But problems and troubles are not in one's hand. It came from the Almighty. One can only surrender to them and find a solution to solve them. The same case is with Shiza.

She woke up as her usual time. She showered and dressed up neatly. She was looking forward to this day as today she'll get her pay check. She was hoping to pay the rent today as she'll receive her salary today. The family is tight on money and she wanted the money desperately. This time she couldn't even ask Shehnaz Ammi to lend her some money as she already many times has asked her. This time she only had to wait. Now that her wait is almost over, she is hopeful.

She grabbed her purse and phone and walked towards the dining area. Her khala was reading the newspaper. She smiled and kissed her cheek from behind. Kulsoom smiled seeing the radiant look on her face and questioned her

"What's with the glow today?"

Shiza laughed and seated herself on the sofa. She sighed and answered while tucking her hair behind her ear

"I'm gonna get my pay check today."

Kulsoom also breathed a sigh of relief. They needed money very much. Kulsoom sighed and stated almost shamefully

"Mujhe maaf krdena baccha. Mujhe acha nhi lagta jawan bacchi se paise Lena lekin halat ne mere hathon ko bandh diya ha."

(Forgive me my child. I don't like to take money from you but the situation has made it)

Shiza shook her head and knelt down beside her khala. She kissed the inside of her palms and put them on her cheek. She then explained her

"Khala, you took care of me when no one was there. You are my mother and father. And I don't have any problem in paying for the house where I live, eat and sleep peacefully. You don't have to worry. You're my family and this thing is nothing that what you have done for me."

Kulsoom was pleased by her manners. Shiza was the far most sincere, caring and beautiful girl. She is the epitome of innocence with beauty. Kulsoom caressed her hairs and kissed her forehead and blessed her

"May Allah gives you lots of happiness. May you never see the bad bad days, Ameen."

Shiza muttered Ameen under her breath and stood up. She wrapped the dupatta on her head securely and informed her khala

"Khala, I'm going to work. I'll be back on my usual time and I'll also pay the rent too."

Kulsoom nodded her head and then Shiza left the house unaware of the commotion she will face in the Mir's Haveli....

Zohra was leisurely sitting in the backyard of the Grand Haveli. She was sipping the tea from the dainty cup. She had a weird smile plastered on her face. She was sure that she will get rid of that peasant today at all cost. She breathed the fresh air and then someone placed a gentle kiss on her head. She smiled and looked up to find her son standing there. Shah Zain smiled and stood infront of her. He knelt down infront of her and she caressed his hairs. Zohra then asked him

"Did you sleep well?"

He nodded his head and stated

"Yeah, I couldn't sleep. I thought maybe fresh air could help me."
