Escaping

"It's really nice to meet you, Sanam, truly you are the same as Aashir told me on the call."
She was sincerely praising Sanam who was sitting near her. She then mischievously glanced at five years old Aashir who was sitting right on the front sofa. He was staring at her with love-filled eyes.
"Aunt Hadia as I told you before my mama is the best. You will also like her."
Very innocently he said giving stress to his words. Then everyone sitting in the lounge chuckled at the way he made a gesture.
"I also find it nice to meet you. I heard a lot about you from everyone and today I meet you."
Sanam gazed at Hadia and said genuinely to her.
On her nikkah day, she happened to meet with Asfand. From Mr. Hayat, (Asfand's father), Haadi (Asfand's brother), and Aashir (Asfand's son) she just heard about Sanam, and today she finally meet with her.
"By the way truly speaking I am still not believing Hadia Wadan is sitting in our home and that too without Wadan and his guards. Does Wadan know you are here?"
On Haadi's voice, everyone's attention diverted towards him who was looking at her with inspecting eyes as if she sinned by coming here.
Everyone was aware of Wadan behavior that's why not anyone was believing in the fact that she came here alone.
While on his saying, Hadia just moved in her sitting place restlessly. She happened to daily converse with Aashir on the phone. And sometimes Wadan himself took her here to let her meet with Aashir.
And when she came to know about the nikkah of Asfand and Sanam, since then she was desperate to meet with Sanam and Aashir. But after that university incident, Wadan almost imprisoned her in the home.
She was feeling suffocated and, moreover, because of Wadan's ignorance her heart was also feeling bad. So today she was here without telling him anything.
And by the way it was Wadan who always kept her away from himself so in that case he doesn’t have any right to know where she was going and where not. That’s why she doesn’t feel it necessary to inform Wadan.
On the other side, her heart was fearing with the thought that if Wadan find out that she is not present at home then what he will do?
"Now I am not a little child that I can't go alone anywhere. And for your Wadan brother, it's not necessary to know where I come and go."
On Haadi's question, she said a bit irritatingly. His habit isn't changed even after living abroad for four years. He often used to irritate Hadia like that and Hadia got irritated.
"I'm meeting with you after such a long time Hadia but you are still a child. And second thing is that my brother is your husband so he has full rights to know where you come and go."
Arching his one brow he said more like admonishing her. On that, Hadia just made a face.
Haadi considers Wadan as his brother because of the deep friendship between Wadan and Asfand. His love and sincerity weren't affected an even little because of Laraib.
"Stop it Haadi, Hadia came here to meet all of us, and here you made her worried with your questioning. Now a single word doesn't utter from your mouth."
Mr. Hayat, who was sitting silently listening to Haadi questions for a long time, was angered on him. And he glanced at Hadia and found her she was smiling and also looking at him.
"Haadi is definitely right, dad. Hadia shouldn't have to come here without informing anyone."
Hadia who got satisfied after Mr. Hayat defended her as she hasn't had to answer any more questions but she has to turn her neck to her side on listening to the voice of Asfand who was gazing at her with a serious look.
"Brother I came here just to meet you all. If you didn't like my coming here then I will leave from here."
She got up from her place and said in a teary voice. On her saying, Sanam and Aashir looked at her with gloomy faces.
"This house is the same yours as of us, Hadia but when Wadan finds out that you are not at home then what his condition will be? We all are well aware of this thing."
Finding tears in her eyes, Asfand was making her understand very softly. He treats Hadia like his younger sister. That's why he doesn't want that Wadan becomes angered on her because of her silliness.
"Then let him get worried. He is liable for it."
She said while harshly wiping her eyes. Everyone present there was become sad after looking at the tears in her eyes.
"For your information, I have to say that he is not worried for you because I already told him about your presence here."
After done with his saying, he took a seat on the single sofa and glanced at Sanam who was sitting so closer with Aashir and Haadi on the twister sofa. He tightly clenched his fist on seeing her sitting with Haadi.
"Hadia go and freshen up yourself then come. I will drop you at home. In a day or two, I myself will come to take you and from now on you will not take such a move."
Controlling his state, he addressed Hadia in his dominating voice. He was well aware of the tension going on between Wadan and Hadia.
Wadan doesn't hide anything from him. And he can understand the state of Hadia. He himself wants that everything sorts out between both. That's why he doesn't want the distance between her and Wadan to widen because of Hadia's mistake.
"You are very bad Asfand brother. I will never talk to you."
Sensing his talk and the sternness in his tone Hadia ran towards the stairs in crying.
"Go Sanam's daughter, console her. Because now no one can console her among us."
On her leaving this way, Mr. Hayat addressed the Sanam who was sitting silently.
On listening to him, Sanam got up from her place and went towards the stairs. While she sensed someone's hot gaze on her back till she disappeared from his gaze.
