"Mamla? Kaisa Mamla Rahil? Mene kuch nhi kaha inse. Main toh in general batein kar rahi thi inse zab kitchen main apne liye nimbu pani bana rahi thi. Kyunki ye bhi wahi baithi thi. Toh bas bata rahi thi inhe kaise meri ek phupho hai jinki beti bhi inki tarah andh- mera matlab hai dekh nahi sakti. Aur unki shadi phupho ne kisi chalis sal ke admi se kara di kyunki unhe use sambhalne mein pareshani ho rahi thi." The Ali's couldn't believe how casually Abidah said this all.
And Falak's eyes started to tear up. The beautiful light brown eyes with a tint of purple, which couldn't see unfortunately.
"Dekho Abidah, tumhari phupho ne kara hoga aisa, unka wo jaane. Humein humari bacchi bohot pyari hai. Hum unse saath aisa kuch nahi karne wale na wo humein pareshan karti hai. To khuda ke liye apna muh band rakho Aur chen se jeeno do isse aur hum sabko." Nizam let out while rubbing his forehead. This girl gives him headache. He still don't know what Rahil saw in her.
Though, Rahil didn't say her anything, he just gave her a disappointed look and went back to his room. Followed by a now worried looking Abidah.
"Main apke liye apple lata hu Falak." Iman, who is two years younger to Falak, said to her in a rush and ran down towards kitchen. While all Falak could do was nod her head quietly.
"Hmm...Falak bacche, aapko aisa lagta hai ki aap humein pareshan karti hai?" Her mom asked her taking her and her father by surprise. But being an honest girl, She nodded her head nonetheless.
"Toh...agar aap kam karengi toh apko aisa nahi lagega?" Zoya asked her daughter again. This made Falak's ears ride up.
"Kaisa kaam mom?" She asked in reply.
"Modelling. Humare brand ke liye humein ek model ki zaroorat hai. Zyada kuch nahi karna, bas sundar se do teen ball gown pehenke pictures click karanein hai. Hum sab dekh lenge. Par kya aap interested hai? It's a paying job by the way. We will pay you, per picture." Zoya explained It all to Falak, who looked in distress.
Sensing her worries and discomfort, her father decided to butt in.
"Bohot shandaar mauka hai Falak bacche, maar lo chauka. Fir na aana. And then you can also shut the mouths of people like Abidah." Hearing such words did something to her heart.
She wanted to prove these people wrong.
And she had the chance. Plus it was all safe as she was under her mom's protection.
So she chased the chance.
