تم سے واجب ہے محبت کا تعلق رکھنا

اپنی دلچسپ محبت کو قضاء کون کرے

Tum se wajib ha mohabbat Ka taluq rakhna

Apni dilchasp mohabbat ko qaza kon kare...

"Thora side par... A little bit left... No... No... Your left... Wait... No that's my right... Ugh... This is so hard,"

The person who was plastered to the wall for the past one hour huffed and finally Spoke up.

"Sadia Dilshad Sheikh... If you didn't decide one direction in 5 seconds... I will place this banner wherever I want to and you will see my wrath...,"

"Hey... You can't talk to the bride like that... I demand respect,"

"Respect my foot...,"

Sadia glared at her brother who was still standing on the ladder trying to paste the "Bride to be" balloons but his sister made the simple task a lot difficult with her amazing navigation and directions skills.

"But I am the bride Bhai...,"

"We are listening to that line for the past two months now Sadia... We are immune now... Get a new one...,"

"Bhai you are useless...,"

She hurled forward to shake the ladder whining when her mother came there with cards in her hands.

"Sadia! Tameez se baat Karo,"

Sadia frowned while Dawood smirked at her in victory. She give his ladder a sudden push almost dropping him to the ground as she turned toward her best friend, sister-in-law, and mother who was sitting in the living room, working on something.

"Anabia...,"

"Han...,"

"Tere Pas tameez Ka number hai kya?"

"Han Hoga na... wait a minute... Who's number?"

"Tameez Ka...,"

Anabia raised an eyebrow at her friend's interesting demand while Safa beghum glared at her daughter knowing where this conversation is going.

"What will you do with that huh?"

"Everyone keeps saying, tameez se baat kro... Tameez se baat karo... so I thought let's call her and finish this matter for once and all,"

She quickly moved aside when a flying chapal came her way and turned to her mother who was sending another her way.

"Mama...,"

"If you have any brain functioning then I don't have to say it all the time...,"

"Kya mama... You don't love me... is this how you treat soon-to-be bride... Where is my Baba? Only he loves me?"

She crossed her arms and sat down on the floor with a pout that didn't work on her mother. Safa beghum just shook her head as she moved toward Dawood.

"Leave her... I still can't believe I am marrying my stupid Daughter... I am more concerned about Aarish now... Allah mere Bache ki madad krein...,"

"Han han... Love your workaholic son-in-law... I am the lazy daughter... Why would you love me? Haye mere naseeb... Maa, maa na rhi,"

Still ignoring her daughter, she hands Dawood the cards and a list.

"Dawood this is the guest list for nikkah... Leave this decoration... the girls will handle this... You go and deliver the cards on time... Only family and friends are mentioned so you won't have a problem,"

"Ok, mama... Don't worry I will go now...,"

Nodding her head with a smile, she turned to look at her sulking big baby but signaled Imaan to handle this and moved to the kitchen.

"Thek hai... I am noticing everyone... You guys loved that workaholic rude, bossy, sadu who didn't even try helping in his own wedding and chiding poor me who is at least showing interest in preparation... Even when I know I have to marry him... This is not fair,"

"You are excited because of the food, photos, clothes, and the spotlight of being the event's main highlight...,"

"Chup Kar... Bhai ki chamchi,"

Glaring at her best friend who outed her, she turned and looked at her brother who chuckled silently.

Anabia just rolled her eyes at her bestie while Imaan stand up to take the guest list from her husband.

"By the way... Sadia is not wrong. Bhai's workaholic behavior is not acceptable... Especially when it's his wedding... Also from tomorrow, the functions will start,"

"Wohi Tu... Kya balaa de di hai mujhe,"

"You said yes...,"

"Now I am rethinking,"

"huh... Like he will let you do that,"

That's how the two friends start bickering, the two families after all happening that day, fixed Aarish and Sadia wedding after 3 months, right after Sadia's last semester exams.

Last week she gave her last exam, the wedding preparations started, and today Sadia was having her forced bachelorette party.

She wanted to enjoy all functions, unlike her soon-to-be husband who was working day and night. Aarish was not even helping in anything and that irritates Sadia.

"Bhai ki chamchi...,"

"Bhai ki biwi...,"

"Abhi Nahi hoyi...,"

"Aww, she is waiting..,"

"No, am not...,"

"Yes...,"

"No...,"

"Yes...,"

"Stop now you two...,"

That shut both girls up as they looked toward Imaan and Dawood who had strict parents mode on.

"You both are best friends before you become sister-in-law... Now don't argue... I am going with your brother, I need to get my dress from the tailor and get Sadia nikkah dress from the designer... We will also bring the party cake with us... It will take us two hours... I want the living room clear and everything set by then... Am I understood?"

"Yes, api,"

Both girls nodded quickly as they started doing the work. Dawood smirked at his wife's motherly behavior and leaned to her ear, whispering the words.

"You look so amazing ordering them around beghum... I like it when you order...,"

"Good... So you like when I order miyan ji,"

Dawood nodded grinning as he thought his wife is flirting with him but soon his smile vanished.

"Ji Jaan,"

"Good then go and get the car started... I will come in 5 minutes... Go,"

Leaving her husband gaping and her sisters giggling, she went to her room while Dawood made pouty faces.

Sadia moved toward him and hugged his arm while looking at him with cute eyes but he know what it really means.

"What do you need now miss I am no Saint?"

"Bhai... Wo... Cake... Can you show me what you ordered,"

Ignoring her indirect insult Sadia tried the good kid approach while Dawood raised his eyebrows.

"You can't wait right,"

An enthusiastic nod was given and he rolled his eyes, taking his phone out and showing her the amazing cake, with the 'bride-to-be sign' as well as her favorite roses.

"This is so beautiful Bhai,"

"Yeah... Just like you ordered us... I mean it's your party...,"

She was awed for a moment but then squealed and keep bouncing. While Dawood rolls his eyes but a small smile graced his mouth.

"Now I am too praying for Aarish Bhai well being... We are giving him a toddler in an adult body... Unka Allah hi Malik hai,"

Saying this he dodged the incoming pillows and vase as he dashed toward the door leaving Sadia huffing.

After a few minutes, Imaan left to go after a long list of instructions and work. Safa beghum was called by Noor beghum so she went leaving the two girls and maids at home.

Anabia was cleaning the scattered mess that balloons and ribbons caused when she frowned at Sadia lying on the couch and crackling about something on her phone screen.

"What is so funny,"

"This joke...,"

"Ahan... Tell me too,"

"So Baba ji kehty hai...,"

"Kya kehty hai...,"

"Bolne toh do...,"

Anabia sat on the adjacent couch and waited for Sadia to speak. Sadia cleared her throat and start speaking with a naughty glint in her eyes.

"So Baba ji kehty hai... Some people are like a treasure... Dil karta hai unko zameen main hi garh dein... Like you brother,"

Anabia glared at her while Sadia smiled brightly. She stand up and start working but soon turned to her friend who is still scrolling on her phone.

"What are you doing?"

"Surfing...,"

"Then serve the nation and help me,"

"Nope...,"

"Oh really... And why the Queen of Bedioland don't want to help,"

Putting the trash bag aside Anabia crossed her arms and looked at Sadia who finally take her eyes off her phone and looked at her friend.

"Because it's my Bachelorette party... It's my last night as a free woman, let me rest woman... Phir Tu poori Zindagi tumhary Bhai ke Saath guzarni hai,"

"You know he is not that bad,"

"Yeah, he is proving me wrong quite good...,"

Anabia understand that her friend doubted about this so she changed the topic and also plan to take all her frustration out before the functions start. That was when a plan came to her and she grinned widely.

"Ok leave this depressing topic... Let's take a few pictures before anyone else came... You go and change... I will clean this up and then we click the photos... Ok?"

"Yes... Perfect idea... That's why you are my best friend... Main ayi abhi...,"

"Han wo white dress phen,na Jo us din mall se liya tha,"

Sadia blushed deep red when she remembered that day and the person but she soon dashed to her room leaving Anabia chuckling.

After a few minutes, she returns with a beautiful royal blue suit, and Anabia was done with the cleaning but frowned at her friend.

"Why didn't you wear the white one? It's so beautiful... Not that you are not looking good... But why?"

"Wo... It's for some special event... Also, I feel like wearing this... Now stop this and let's click pictures,"

Sadia tucked her hair behind her ear as she speak confidently but her friend had already understood why she change the topic.

"Ok... Ok... Now let's get started,"

After 30 minutes of photo sessions and million selfies, Sadia moved to the wall and told Anabia to click her photo while doing the 50's sad heroines l pose.

"Kya kar rahi hai,"

"l am expressing my emotions through these photos... Now shush and click it,"

Clicking two or three pics Anabia got a mischievous idea and she quickly forward the photo to someone with an evil smirk and turned to Sadia.

"Bas, bas... You are lucky to marry my brother... Don't be so dramatic... You should consider yourself lucky,"

Sadia narrowed her eyes at her friend as she straighten up and put her hands on her hip with a hard glare.

"Lucky... And me...,"

"Yeah, you... It's not every day that the famous eligible bachelor married a lazy bum like you,"

Anabia's phone pinged but Sadia didn't notice that as she was busy in her angry rant.

"Hey... I am not lazy... I am just on energy saving mode,"

"Always?"

"No... I do work... You guys just don't appreciate me and my work... Ab dekho na kidhr phasa Diya... I sacrifice myself for this family you know,"

"Sadia... Chup Kar ja...,"

"Nahi ab Tu sun...,"

"Mar gyi Tu Sadia Dilshad Sheikh... Bad main na bolna Nahi Ruka,"

"Han, han... now you listen and I do the talking,"

........

Aarish was working on a file for the past two hours, he was coming to work early and leaving past midnight. He is not helping in wedding preparations or any work at all.

For outsiders, it might look like he is angry and avoiding this but he is indeed very excited about his wedding that why he was working day and night to finish and finalize all deals and documents before his nikkah so he can take one month's leave.

He wanted to give all his time to his dia and for that he was working overtime but happily, counting each day, each moment on his fingertips.

His phone pinged drawing his attention, as he picked it up to see Asher's name on the screen, opening the chat, he saw Asher doing shopping with a caption.

'Your sherwani is ready, will deliver it personally. ko mere yar ki Shadi hai,'

A small smile grace his face as he looked at his crazy but most loyal friend. With a thumbs up as a reply to his enthusiastic friend, he shut the phone and put it down.

"I swear I am surrounded by crazy people,"

Again going to get busy in the work land when his phone ping again, thinking it was Asher, he rolled his eyes, picking it up.

"Ab kya Chahiye esko...,"

He was going to speak further but frowned when he saw Anabia's name and chuckled silently.

"Ram milaye Jodi... Ek Pagal, dusri moody,"

As he open the chat all words escape him and air left his lungs as he looked at her picture. The woman who was ruling him for years without even knowing that.

In the picture, she stood under the bride-to-be balloon sign, making a cute Bollywood pose. He knew she was blackmailing everyone to have a party but this is like a surprise gift for him.

"Ma sha Allah... Just two days more Dia... Just two more,"

He caressed the picture for a moment, but then sighed at his thoughts. But suddenly he open his eyes and quickly dialed Anabia's number to video call her.

Anabia accidentally picked up the call and looked wide-eyed at the screen making Aarish frown but before he can say anything, he heard something or someone.

"No... I do work... You guys just don't appreciate me and my work... Ab dekho na kidhr phasa Diya... I sacrifice myself for this family you know,"

Anabia smiled sheepishly at the screen while she tried to help her friend but when Sadia started to speak, who can stop her except the Bagad Billa? But he also keeps quiet and Anabia feels like banging her head on the wall.

"Sadia... Chup Kar ja...,"

"Nahi ab Tu sun...,"

"Mar gayi Tu Sadia Dilshad Sheikh... Baad main na bolna Nahi Ruka,"

"Han, han... now you listen and I do the talking,"

Anabia again tried warning but again to no avail. Aarish signaled her to keep quiet as he mute his side of the conversation.

Anabia but her lip sending a prayer to the Lord above to save her bestie who is on her dukh express to listen to anyone.

"Kitne armaan thay mere... That I will have a nice, handsome, loving, and caring husband who will take care of me without me knowing, you know like SRK in movies, they went to meet their brides secretively before the functions and do all those cute things... But meri aesi kismat Kaha... Mujhe armaan thay movie wale SRK ke aur Miley yeh second hand ambaani...,"

"Sadia,"

"Kya ha... bolne de aj mujhe,"

Anabia facepalms herself but then keeps her silence after scoffing.

"Thek ha bol le sab... bol de aj... Maybe kal ho na ho,"

Sadia frowned at her words as she made hand gestures and then sat right in front of the screen where her husband-to-be forget the world and watched her with a smile.

"I have no idea what you keep talking about... Kaha thi main, oh han... Your brother and his workaholic tendencies... Work, work, work... All-time work... Your brother is not romantic, he is a workaholic,"

Aarish's heart did a flip when a mesmerizing smile grace her face, what he can do to make sure this smile stays on her face.

"But you know what? Main bhi Sadia Dilshad Sheikh ho... I know how to deal with your brother,"

"Oh, Bhai ki chamchi... Ask me what and how I can deal with your brother... Show interest woman,"

Anabia raised an eyebrow but her bestie frowned not getting a response. Aarish too got interested and signal Anabia to ask about what she is talking about.

"You will tell me anyway, but sure tell me Sadia Baba how you are planning to deal with my workaholic brother as you so kindly put it,"

"Aye shabash... Now you are acting like my bestie,"

"Talk already woman,"

"Han, han... Wait, you are just like your brother impatient,"

Aarish narrowed his eyes at her words as he looked at her coming closer to the screen and towards Anabia.

"If this woman knows how much patience I have, she will definitely faint or run away,"

He shook his head as he turn his attention to the screen where he heard her who was trying to whisper the words to his sister but he can hear them clearly.

Signaling Anabia to lean forward, Sadia moved like she is telling her a secret and then whispered quite loudly resulting in her giggling and a heart skipping best.

"I will make a deal with him,"

"Deal? What kind of deal?"

Her words confused both siblings but they waited for the drama queen to complete this secret of her.

"Arey... He understands business language na... So I will make a deal with him, I am sacrificing for family na so he can compromise and compensate too,"

"Acha... And what kind of deal you will give to Bhai that he will accept Miss Sadia,"

"Love deal,"

"huh...,"

Another shock for the set of siblings, Aarish feels like his world turned upside down while Anabia can't believe her ears that's why she stutters the question.

"W-what? Love deal? You love Bhai?"

Gulping at the question, Aarish moved to the edge of his seat waiting eagerly for her Answer.

"Eww... Nahi... I mean I will ask for the things I love... I am marrying him na, so he can provide me the things I can survive with,"

Sadia made a weird face as she broke two hopeful hearts with her one answer. Aarish leaned back in his seat but he didn't lose hope, he know what he needs to do for this oblivious fairy to see him, the real him.

Anabia looked at her brother sympathetically who ignored her expression, turning towards her dumb bestie, she continues the talk knowing her bestie will pay for each word at the right time.

"Ahan... Tell me what this love deal of yours contains,"

Sadia smiled widely as she signaled to her bestie to hold on for a minute running away, leaving anabia to look at her brother who has a sad smile on his face, but before she can say something the tornado is back in the room.

She sat down took deep breaths and then open a piece of paper. Anabia was shocked, that her bestie even compiled a list of things she wanted from her husband To be.

Clearing her throat, Sadia smiled and read the list aloud to the siblings unknown how her cute antiques make someone's day.

"Ahem... So yes... In acceptance of this marriage with Mr. Aarish Qais sheikh, I, Miss Sadia Dilshad Sheikh want to propose a deal. And without the acceptance of this deal, I won't say Qubool ha...,"

Anabia blinked at her bestie, who looked like she is making a speech at the UN, while Aarish covered his mouth to stop the smile that is getting impossible with this woman, he loved all his life.

"Now for the deal part, the deal requirements state... That's Miss Sadia Dilshad Sheikh aka I want ice cream daily along with recharge of Netflix, Amazon prime, and Wi-Fi each month without asking, a new I-pad, I-phone, and Mac laptop. Oh... Oh and new dresses after every two months and at least 10 feet tall teddy bear. I know kam ha... Lekin main kaam Chala lungi... Ab itni bhi demanding Nahi ho main,"
