Zubaria and Wajeeh came to the shop they all decided to meet when they saw her standing in the doorway of the shop like a statue looking in the air.

Zubaria nudged her and taking her out of her thoughts.

"What happened Rumi? Why are you standing here like a statue?" Zubaria asked worriedly.

"Nothing api... just waiting for you... I wanted to see what you buy," Rumi quickly excused with a weak smile.

"I will show you but after we get home... now come one let's go to see the others,"

Zubaria said smilingly and it made Rumi smile too.

Wajeeh was standing just beside them gazing at her soft but dazzling smile.

He came out of his thoughts when he saw both of them going toward others without even acknowledging him.

"Had hogyi bhai... she even forgets about me after meeting her sister... No worries, once you came in my captivity Zubaria beghum I will teach you everything,"

Wajeeh muttered looking intently at the beauty that always captured his attention without doing anything.

He sighed wanting to finish this as soon as possible and follows them inside the shop.

Palwashy came outside the changing room with a grumpy mood and annoyed expression but after one look at Azlaan who was talking about the reason for her misery and frustration, she forgot everything and smiled beamingly.

She moved toward them in lightening speed and stood close to Azlaan.

He was irritated by her sudden appearance and behavior but can't say anything.

Rumi and Zubaria also came there but seeing palwashy so close to Azlaan, Rumi felt something bitter in her heart.

She wanted to move Azlaan away from her but she can't do that, she can't understand her own emotions and it shocked her to no extend.

Azlaan notices her discomfort and hesitation. He wanted to smirk at her reaction but he was also annoyed with palwashy stunts.

He simply moved away from palwashy and saw Rumi sighed in relief.

She was not aware of her reaction, everything was new for her but Azlaan was enjoying her innocent response and act of jealousy even in her subconscious.

"It looks like everyone is done with shopping... we should go home now Ammi was constantly calling and it's dinner time already,"

Everyone turned around as they heard yawar voice.

He and kinza were approaching them with loads of shopping bags and a sleeping amal in kinza arms.

Rumi moved toward kinza and takes amal from her arms as she was the only person available because Azlaan already took her bags.

"Yeah let's go... I am starving and it looks like amal baby has already gone to dreamland... my princess,"

Kabir cooed at the sleeping baby making everyone smile at his tone.

He moved toward Rumi to caress amal cheeks who was smiling beautifully in her sleep.

Azlaan didn't like Kabir's proximity to Rumi, but he kept his temper under control. His mind was acting irrational and he had to control these thoughts.

"When are you not hungry?"

Roshane spoke teasingly and Kabir huffed in annoyance making everyone laughed at their bickering.

"Don't start now... I need food for the next argument session with you and mama banned us from takeaway so please my dear elder brothers, sisters, Bhabhi, and churail roshi... can we go home now?"

They all started to move toward the parking lot, with roshane hitting him and promising to teach him a good lesson soon.

They started to get settled in the cars, just like they came but palwashy ignored Roshane calls and went towards Azlaan car.

Rumi saw palwashy approaching them and tried to move toward Yawar's car but Azlaan stopped her by pulling her hand.

She bumped into him with baby amal still in her arms and a barrier between them, when she looked up questioningly in his magnificent hazel eyes, he spoke with finality.

"Quietly sit inside the car Rumaisa... we came together, we will return together... don't even think about escaping kitten,"

Azlaan whispered huskily and it shook her to the core. She tightens her hold on amal to hold her close to her pounding heart.

He was so close to her that she can feel his breath on her ear. His closeness was perilous for her, her whole existence was trembling just by his mere touch.

Azlaan pulled away from Rumi as palwashy comes close and pretend to caress amal forehead.

"Can I go with you, Azlaan? ... You are the only one who has enough space in their car,"

Palwashy said flirting but it didn't have any effect on him. She was batting her lashes at him thinking it's cute but he only gets annoyed.

She completely ignored Rumi's presence and Rumi felt uncomfortable with them.

She wanted to run away but the warning in Azlaan eyes was enough to stop her.

"Yeah sure...," Azlaan said blankly.

His eyes still on Rumi's face who was looking like she wanted to be anywhere but here.

Palwashy beamed at him and opened the passenger door and sit inside. Azlaan rolled his eyes at her enthusiasm and opens the backseat door for Rumi to sit comfortably.

Palwashy narrowed her eyes because she wanted to be alone with him but now she can't.

"She was coming with us... shouldn't you be with Amal parents in their car?"

Palwashy bluntly asked. Azlaan didn't like her question and turned his blazing eyes to her.

"You are coming with us, palwashy... not the other way around... Rumi came with me and she will also return with me... As you said no one has enough space in their car," Azlaan said sternly.

He was so angry at her desperate act and talking nonsense. Rumi unconsciously placed her hand on his which was holding the backseat door tightly.

His tensed muscles relaxed instinctively. He looked into her eyes, those eyes that stole his heart the first time and he smiled softly at her.

This brought her out from the spell which his presence cast on her. She quickly pulled her hand and looked away.

Making sure Rumi had the seat belt around her that was also protecting sleeping amal, as he inspects the seatbelt and seat comfort himself.

He smiled at her innocence and pure persona who was looking away from him, caressing amal head and he closed the door securely.

Palwashy was sulking as Azlaan has so politely insulted her in front of Rumi that's why she didn't notice their silent exchange.

He moved toward the driver seat and as he was going to start the car, he received a message from Roshane complaining about palwashy.

He chuckled silently at her message and quickly replied to her.

Roshane replied to his message.

He just smiled at her antics and put the phone in his pocket and started the car.

He kept stealing glances from the rearview mirror looking at the woman his heart desperately wanted.

Rumi who was absently caressing amal head lost in her thoughts and he smiled when he saw her.

Palwashy after sulking again tried to talk with him. He didn't want to reply but it's against his teaching and ethics to behave rudely.

"So what is your favorite color Azlaan? Mine is pink and rose gold," palwashy said gleefully.

She was again ignoring Rumi's presence in the car but Rumi considered that as a blessing she doesn't want to be involved in anything related to them.

She was irritated and annoyed at something but she didn't know the reason or she didn't want to admit it.

"Grey... ice-grey... sometimes with a hint of goldish orange like fire...,"

Azlaan replied without missing a beat and whereas it pleased palwashy it was not meant for her.

Rumi looked up hearing his response and their gaze collided as he was already looking at her through the rearview mirror.

She was already confused about all these new feelings but hearing his words and seeing the sincerity in his eyes she was frozen at her place.

She blushed crimson upon his intense gaze in embarrassment and looked away.

Palwashy was happy about his response to her question and was planning to fill her closet with new certain color clothes.

Soon they reached Hayat villa, Rumi quickly but carefully to not wake amal up, opened the lock, and sprint out from the car as the awkwardness was suffocating her.

Azlaan saw her running away with narrowed eyes but stay silent as palwashy was blabbering about something which irritates him more and he sighed in frustration.

...............................

Wajeeh stopped his car near Azlaan's car. He knew what his mother and sister are up to and he was not happy about it.

But he had his own battles to fight and problems to face, one of the main reasons was sitting beside him.

He looked at Zubaria who wanted to run away but as he child-locked the door and she can't.

Kabir and Roshane rode with them and now collecting their stuff to go inside.

"Thank you for the lift bhai... I had so much fun today," Roshane said grinning widely.

"It's my pleasure Roshane... I must say you and Kabir were the main highlights of this trip as some people don't even know how to communicate,"

He said taunting eyeing his fiancée who sat beside him but she ignored him, knowing well for whom those words were.

"Ok bhai... we will now meet at your nikah function don't do something that I won't...Allah Hafiz," Roshane said teasingly.

She throws her bags at Kabir and ran inside with a grumpy Kabir trailing more like crawling behind her.

Zubaria blushed at her words and again tried to move but can't open the lock.

"What is the hurry beghum?"

He said huskily when he leaned toward her hitching her breath and paralyzing her soul with his closeness.

"Everyone is waiting... plea...please... open the lock," she stammered nervously.

"Ok fine...,"

He said still leaning toward her and opened the lock but before she dashed away his voice stops her.

"You may go now but once in my imprisonment... you won't be able to go away easily... remember that," he whispered in a deep throaty voice.

"We will now meet at your imprisonment day and will together celebrate my victory... ab ijazat dijiye beghum,"

He spoke again but this time in a hard tone, all teasing and smugness vanishing from his eyes that turned hard with hollowness deep within and his chilled her to the core.

She listened to him silently with tears in her eyes but didn't let them flow, she didn't wait for him and dashed from there.

Wajeeh's eyes followed her silhouette with longing and pain in his eyes.

Azlaan and Palwashy approached his car, palwashy sit inside and smile beamingly at Azlaan.

Wajeeh rolled his eyes at her desperate act, making a mental note to have words with his parents.

"Come inside wajeeh... it's already dinner time... Ammi will scold everyone to not invite you for dinner and don't get me started on what other ladies of Hayat villa will say and do,"

Azlaan said politely because it was their soon-to-be son-in-law before his cousin.

Palwashy was going to say 'yes' but Wajeeh cut her off with a glare and denied Azlaan offer with a small smile.

"Sorry, bhai... I will personally apologize to them but I have promised Shahzaib that I will meet him tonight and I am already late,"

Wajeeh denied politely while Palwashy again sulking angrily.

"Ok fine... but I will drag you inside the next time,"

"Sure bhai... say my Allah Hafiz and salaam to everyone,"

After seeing them off Azlaan went to get fresh and joined everyone for dinner after such an eventful day, something normal is what they all craved.

...................................

After dinner, everyone was sitting in the TV lounge seeing the youngsters shopping for the nikah function and what they bought for their parents and grandparents.

"Chachi I didn't understand one thing... you have personally organized and selected everyone's clothes for each the wedding functions ...then why not the same for nikkah too... it's too hectic to shop at the last moment,"

Kabir sighed tiredly as he laid his head in shahbano lap because he was sitting beside her feet on the carpeted floor and asked innocently.

"Mera bacha... nikkah is a sacred bond and you guys selecting your choice clothes for this function was meant to be special... I wanted you all to enjoy this time as personal and family bonding as you help each other and all... other functions were just society rituals... the right one according to Sunnah was nikkah... so it needs to be more special,"

Shahbano replied softly with a warm smile on her lips while her dandy hands were busy stroking his silky hairs.

Shahwar who was sitting across them already annoyed because he can't sit beside his wife when all youngsters surround their favorite Chachi leaving him to take a seat away from his wife.

He glowered at them because according to him, no one can demand such attention from his wife except him and his daughters, but one murderous glare from Shahbano, and he huffed sighing in defeat but didn't stop glaring at his nephew.

"So it means we shouldn't do the functions other than nikkah," Kabir asked looking confused.

"I didn't say that... it's just nowadays people did these extravagant functions to show off... the other rituals and functions were also important for the couple it's memorable days of their life and I know families were responsible to make it special but the sacred bond of nikah was so pure that it should be done with simplicity and efforts of your loved ones... it's too special for showing off to others,"

Shahbano replied sweetly making Kabir grinned at her as he understands her words.

Everyone looked proudly at her words especially her husband.

Kabir nodded happily understanding her every word and trying to preach the same concept to roshane who just rolled her eyes at him.

Azlaan looked at Rumi who was again at mission 'ignore Azlaan' and he was getting frustrated.

"Chalo utho ab... you three have university tomorrow... did you guys selected the assignment topics or not?" Fazila beghum asked sternly.

"We will Ammi... don't go into Hitler mode, please... I am already tired because of the shopping trip,"

Kabir said changing the topic before Shahbano repeats the question to her daughters, rescuing Rumi and Roshane from Shahbano fury because he knew they didn't select topics for their final thesis assignment.

...................................

Everyone retired to their room while Roshane sat on the sofa in the TV lounge with a notebook and pen between her lips thinking about a bombastic idea for her project.

Kabir came there with a guitar in his hands and stops looking at Roshane lost in her thoughts.

She was driving him crazy every day without doing anything, her simple gestures and actions were enough to send his heart in a frenzy.

She was chewing the pen cap making pouty faces and it was driving his heart crazy.

He shook his head with moving toward her with a smile and sits beside her.

"Why the long face partner?"

He asked even when he already know the reason but acted like he didn't come here to be her knight in shining armor.

"I didn't select the topic of the project and the professor had warned everyone that we should select at least one topic till tomorrow so he can approve it and assign partners to us," she said worriedly.

"Oh... this is why you were looking depressed... I can help you... you know I am your genius senior,"

He said smirking and Roshane narrowed her eyes at him.

"Please don't waste my precious time in your nonsense... it's serious and your lame jokes are not helping Olaf," Roshane replied irritated.

"Did you just insult me? The man who is willing to help a dismal in distress like you,"

He gasped but soon narrowed his eyes at her angrily but roshane just rolled her doe eyes at him.

"Yeah... and the award of biggest genius and third-class actor goes to Kabir Hayat Khan," she said sarcastically.

"Oh please, I knew I am genius and I was not acting... its pure and generous offer... and because I am the best friend of some Jhalli churail its not good people also doubted that I am stupid too like my friend,"

He replied with the same tone smiling too sweetly and it infuriates her within few moments.

"Tumne mujhe Jhalli churail bola?" she asked raging.

"Any doubt... roshi is Jhalli churail... roshi is Jhalli churail,"

He spoke loudly irritating her and she lost her patience.

"Now I will tell you who is the Jhalli churail... you just wait kabira,"

She spoke angrily and run behind him with a cushion in both hands aiming at him who ran faster than Usain Bolt with his precious guitar in his one hand, project topic is long forgotten as they chase each other like Tom and Jerry.

.................................

Rumi was in her gallery to think about some ideas for her assignments. Her gallery was filled with beautiful paintings and canvases, some were made by Roshane and some by shahwar but almost everything was done by Rumi.

This was one of the best traits that they get from their father, he was a splendid artist.

"This man is driving me crazy... his words are something I don t want them to be... Pagal admi mujhe bhi Pagal kardein ge,"

Her mind was clouded with many thoughts and cogitations.

Azlaan hayat khan was creating havoc in her life and she can't do anything but watch him feeling confused with her own emotions but she again ignores them.

She didn't want to feel anything for him, but his words and his killer eyes were turning her world upside down.

"Let's go and sleep Rumi... jo hoga kal dekha jaye ga,"

She can't think anything creative with this mental state and it frustrates her that she can't find any creative ideas about her thesis assignment topic, so she turned off the lights and moved toward her room.

The lights were off which means Roshane was still not here because she can't sleep in completed darkness.

She turned on the light and moves toward her closet to take her pajamas and a baggy t-shirt, she stole from her baba closet.

Because both twins and their mother love wearing shahwar comfy clothes at night, that's why he keeps buying and his three precious ladies keep stealing and claiming them.
