Her name was Hania

               Hania said out, “ Yea, I want to go there now. It’s only 8:30 p.m. It’s not that late. Can you take me there now Flora?” Flora said, “ Obviously I can take you there. But are you ready to meet with him now? Are you ready to talk with him now?” Hania nodded her head.

Hania and Flora reached at the home of Farhad. It was one storied building. They stood in front of the door. Hania's heart was beating fast. She rang the bell of the door. After few moments, Farhad opened the door. He became statue by seeing the face of Hania. Hania looked at him. Tears started falling from Hania’s eyes. Hania said out, “ As-salamu alaykum. How are you Farhad?” Farhad said with disbelief expression, “ Wa alaykumu s-salam. What are you doing here? Is it really you Hania?” Hania nodded her head. She said out, “ Yea, it’s me.” Hania wiped her tears. Farhad said out, “ How you know that I am living here? I didn’t tell Abbu about that.” Farhad called his father as Abbu. Hania said out, “ Is it really hard to find you? I just knew that now you are staying in Bangkok. So, I came here to find you. And now I found you. Can you give me sometimes? I need to talk with you.” Farhad said, “ So, dad told you that I am in Bangkok. If I knew that you would come here then I would never told him that I am here. Look, Hania. I don’t want to talk with you. You may leave? And hear my words very well I just loathe you. I wanted to give you Talaq but because of Abbu I couldn’t give you Talaq. Now just get lost from here. I will never accept you as my wife. I will never love you.” Hania said out, “ Farhad, please! Let me talk with you. You just misunderstood me. I didn’t betray you.” Farhad said with anger tone, “ Just stop your nonsense. You already told those nonsense things to me in India. I am not a fool like my father. Could you prove your innocence in the past? Obviously not! Because you are a cheap women. You had affairs behind my back. I just hate you Hania! Get lost from here.” Flora didn’t understand the Hindi language fully. But she could understand maximum Hindi. She could understand that what Farhad was saying to Hania. Flora said out, “ Please, Farhad! Let her talk with you. How you couldn’t trust in her? She is innocent Farhad. I am her best friend. I believe that Hania could never do that types of cheap thing?” Farhad said with hard tone, “ Stay away from our personal matter. It’s her and my matter. Stay out of it.” Hania said out, “ Flora, please! Let me talk to him. It’s our matter. Please, Flora, don’t say anything here.” Flora said with irritating tone, “ Okay, I won't say anything.” Hania said to Farhad, “ Farhad, please, let me talk to you. Please, Farhad.” Farhad said with anger tone, “ Okay! Come inside! I am going to give you only five minutes. After that you have to leave from here.”

Hania and Flora were standing in the lounge room. Farhad was also standing there. Hania went near him. And stood in front of him. Hania said out, “ Farhad, I know you don’t trust me. But I am innocent Farhad. I didn’t do any kind of disrespectful things. Cannot you trust me, Farhad? I love you Farhad. I truly love you. You are my husband. How could I betray you? I hadn’t any kinds of relationship with anyone. Even before the marriage I hadn’t any kinds of relationship with any man. I know very well it’s haram, Farhad. I hadn’t any boyfriend. I am saying the truth Farhad. I didn’t betray you. Trust me Farhad. Trust me for once. I want to become a good wife. I want your love Farhad. You are my husband. Should I stay away from you?” Farhad said with irritating look, “ Are you finished? Listen, Hania. I am not a fool. So, stop your nonsense talking. And by the way, I want to give you divorce. Just mentally prepare yourself for that. [Hania was looking at him disbelief expression. Tears started falling from her eyes.] After your divorce you can marry anyone. You can be a so called good wife for anyone. But not for me. Stop your crocodile tears. Do you think I am a fool like my father? Abbu could trust in you, but I couldn’t trust in you. Look, tell my father that you are prepared for this divorce. You want the divorce from me. I will never trust you. Just stay away from me.” Hania said out, “ Farhad, please, don’t talk like that. You cannot leave me Farhad. You cannot give me divorce.” Farhad said out, “ You know very well I badly wanted to give you divorce. I wanted to give you Talaq when I was in India. But because of Abbu I couldn’t do that. Look, Hania, soon I am going to give you divorce. You have to accept that. And one more thing, I will never trust you, I will never love you. So, you should stay away from me. After our divorce you should marry that person, who is your so called boyfriend. Why cannot you leave me alone? I don’t want to see you. I will always hate you. You betrayed me.” Hania said with painful tone, “ I didn’t betray you Farhad. I tried to find that guy who accused me. But I couldn’t find him Farhad. He wasn’t my boyfriend. He isn’t my boyfriend. I didn’t have any relationship with him. I don’t have any relationship with him. Trust me Farhad. Why cannot you trust me for once?” Farhad said with anger tone, “ I cannot trust you for once. I saw that in front of me. I saw that with my own eyes. How could you tell me to believe you? I am not a fool. Just get lost from here! Soon I will contact you for divorce. I am going to ready the divorce papers. After signing the divorce papers I will give you Talaq. Now, you may leave. I don’t want to share the same air with you. It’s really disgusting!” Hania said with painful tone, “ So, this your final and last decision? You want to give me Talaq?” Farhad said out, “ Yea, I want to give you Talaq. This is my final and last decision. If you want then I can give you Talaq now. I don’t want any kinds of relationship with you. I just loathe you! I know you don’t want to hear the word of Talaq now. But prepare yourself to hear that. And please, stop your melodrama in front of me. I am wise enough to recognise your so called acting. I am not a fool Hania. Now just leave.” Hania wiped her tears. She said out, “ Okay, I am leaving now. But I won't loose Farhad. I have to win. I have to win your heart, I have to win your trust. I cannot let you give divorce to me. I am your wife. And I will always be your wife. I cannot let you break our relationship. This relationship is pure. By the way, I am leaving now. Good night. And Allah Hafeez.” After saying that Hania instantly left from there. Flora also left from there by following Hania.

Flora were sitting in the lounge room of her house. Chakrit was also sitting there. It was evening time. Chakrit Ma came to Flora's house few minutes ago. They were talking. At that moment a maid came there with two cups of tea and snacks on a tray. She kept the tray on the table which table was in front of the couches. After that the maid left from there. Suddenly Chakrit Ma said out, “ About two days before you went with Ms. Hania to meet with her husband. How was the meeting? Is everything alright now?” Flora said out, “ Nothing is alright! I don’t know what will happen in next. But I think Farhad will divorce her. He will not accept her. This is ridiculous! How could he leave her? If he leaves her then I don’t know what she will do. She truly loves her husband. How she couldn’t love him? She is a pious and religious girl. She would definitely love her husband. I am really feeling bad for her. I cannot do anything for her. I cannot help her. I am feeling really bad for that.” Chakrit Ma said with curious tone, “ Why he wants to give her divorce? What happened between them?” Flora said out, “ Because he didn’t trust in her. He thinks that Hania betrayed him. She had a affair behind his back. She just married him because of the family. But in reality she had a boyfriend. He thinks that Hania isn’t a good women. She is a cheap women. This is so ridiculous. I trust in her. She never could do that types of things. She always stay away from the man. She has only female friends. She doesn’t like to talk with man without necessity. Didn’t you notice that? Does she talks with you without any necessity? She only talks with you about the cases matter. Does she ever says to you that how are you Mr. Chakrit? Obviously not? Maybe she says to you only Hi or Hello. Am I right?” Chakrit Ma said, “ Yea, usually she doesn’t says any unnecessary things to me. She only talks about the case. Nothing more.” Flora said, “ Does she ever says anything to you with smile?” Chakrit Ma said out, “ No. Sometimes I talk with her with smile. But she doesn’t talk with me with smile. Not even a little smile. She always looks like a serious types women. I start to think that maybe she is a bitter types women or boring types old women.” Flora instantly said, “ That is our Hania. She doesn’t like to talk with man. She doesn’t want to become friendly with them. In her religion it’s Haram. She doesn’t like to talk with man without necessity. Even she started talking with Farhad after their Nikah. Can you believe that? He is her cousin. Usually she always says As-salamu alaykum to her male relatives. That’s all. She doesn’t likes to gossip with the male cousins. Whenever I went to her house I noticed her behaviours towards the male relatives. Because maximum times I like to went her house. Aunty is a good cooker. She always cooks good foods. Even Hania’s cooking skill is good. She can cook tasty foods. By the way, what I was saying? His male relatives? I asked to Hania, why she didn’t talk too much with her cousins. I mean they were her cousins. She replied that it’s forbidden to talk with them without necessity. Her male cousins usually came to her house to meet with her mother and to meet with her elder brother. Now tell me, how she could cheat on her own husband? How she could have a boyfriend? I know her very well she hadn’t any boyfriend. Even she hadn’t any male friends. Hania always stay away from man. How she could cheat on him? It was all lies. She is a innocent girl.”
