Most Attractive Sneak Peak Of Band Darwaze By Maria Riaz
""I am choosing love, not rebellion"
(The mansion's study room – old books, a smoking hookah, and centuries-old silence)
The night had fallen. The only sounds in the room were the ticking of the clock and the soft hiss of the hookah.
Zamiruddin Khan was sitting in his designated chair, a frown on his forehead and a wall of tradition in his heart.
The door opened.
Safiya entered, accompanied by her mother, Zainab Begum — a silent woman who had lived in the shadow of her husband's decisions for years. Zainab Begum is a simple-minded, taciturn woman who says Amin to her husband's every command and the purpose of her life is to obey her husband. Whether he is right or wrong.
Zamiruddin (without looking):
"You two here?"
Zainab Begum (gently):
"She... Safiya has something to say. I want you to listen, don't get angry."
Safiya (taking the dupatta):
'Abbu… I have made a decision."
Zamaruddin (in a stern tone):
"Daughters don't make decisions, Safiya. They only obey."
Safiya looked at her mother, who was silent… but was giving courage with her eyes.
Safiya (in a low but strong voice):
"I want to marry Fahim Khan."
The atmosphere in the room froze for a moment.
Zamaruddin (screaming):
"We don't have relations outside the family and it is our tradition that we have relations only among ourselves."
Safiya (frightened):
"Abbu, this is an old thing, now times have changed."
Zamaruddin: Don't we keep up with the times? Time keeps up with us.
Zainab Begum (in a helpless but painful tone):
"Zamar… a daughter wants not only respect, but also happiness. Listen to her voice sometimes… like you never heard mine."
Zamaruddin (hitting the ground with his fist):
She wants to leave us for this boy, so it's okay, she has no relationship with us after today, the doors of this house are closed to her forever.
Safiya wiped the tears from her eyes, but did not bow her head.
Safiya:
"After today, I will not only be Safiya… I will also be a mother.
And I want my daughter not to be afraid of love,
but to embrace it with respect."
