"Humare beech mein Jo tha khatam hogaya Hai, tum please! Uss rishte ko Jannat aur apne beech mat lao." Palwasha didn't know what she was expecting. But for once, she was expecting him to speak about them. About what they had. But, here, he was talking about Jannat

(Whatever was between us, don't let it come between you and Jannat.)

"Agar woh rishta mujhe Jannat aur apne beech lana hota toh aaj yaha ussey milne na ati." Controlling her heart, Palwasha said

(If I had let that relationship come between me and Jannat then I wouldn't be here.)

"Aur uss din, jab Jannat tumse Milne gayi thi? Tab Kya? Mujhe tumhe batane ki zaroorat nahi ki Jannat kitni nazuk Dil Hai...."

(What about that day, when Jannat went to your house? What you did? I don't have to tell you how sensitive Jannat....)

"Bohot pyaar karte hona Jannat se?" Palwasha interrupt him and asked, the question could be answered through his eyes, but she needed to hear it from him

(You love Jannat?)

No matter how painful the confession will be, she wants to hear it.

"Sach Sach batao, tumhare Dil mein us rishte ko leke kuch Tha? Ya tum hamesha se sirf Jannat ke barey mein hi sochte the, koi aur kitni taqleef mein Hai ussey farq to tumhe waise bhi Kabhi nahi padha jab baat Jannat pe ati thi, Kya tab bhi Mera khayal nahi aya jab Jannat se nikkah Kar rahe the?" When Zaid didn't speak up, Palwasha continue talking

(Tell me honestly, did you ever felt anything for us? Or you have always thought Jannat, I know you never cared about anyone else when it comes to Jannat but did you not for once thought about me when you married her?)

"In baaton ka koi fyada nahi Hai, Palwasha." Not meeting her eyes, Zaid said

(There is no use for talking about past.)

"Dil ki tasalli ke liye Janna zaroori hai." Tears, ready to fall from her eyes which she hold with difficulties

(But I want to knownitnfor the peace of my heart.)

"Haan, main Jannat se pyaar karta Tha aur karta Hoon." Taking a sigh, Zaid said, his eyes on her, he knows he has hurted her, Palwasha was a nice girl but it wasn't his fault that he didn't fall for her

(Yes, I love Jannat.)

"Toh phir mere sath engagement kyu ki thi?" Her patience give up as Palwasha raised her voice a little, still low enough to be between them only,

(Then why did you got engaged to me?)

"Hum... Hum bohot chote the jab humari engagement ho gayi thi, mujhse kisine pucha nahi." A weak defense he had in his behalf

(We... We're very little when got engaged, no one asked me what I want.)

"Aur uss bachpane se maine tumhare khwab dekha Hai, chote the engagement hogayi jab bade hue toh kyu nahi kaha? London jate waqt Kya kaha Tha? Palwasha main tumpe trust karta Hoon Jannat ka khayal rakhna."

(And since out childhood I have dreamed of you. We got engaged when were little then why did you said anything when we grow up? What did you said to me when you were leaving for London? Palwasha I trust you with Jannat.)

"Tumhe toh uss waqt bhi Jannat ki fiqr thi aur main sochne lagi ki tum mujhse pyar karte ho isliye yeh keh rahe ho."

(That day you were thinking about Jannat and I... I thought it was your love that you trust me.)
