''Bete ab aap theek ho'' asked azra begum.

It's the same day where Noor cried and slept in Zaroon's room. It's the evening and Noor walked out after sleeping for 5 hours. Men were in the garden talking about business while women were having a tea in the t.v lounge. Azra and Alishba begu was sitting on the same two sitter sofa while Mahi begum was in front taking sips of hot tea. Abiha and Rameen were sitting ont he marvelous carpet eating crackers. Danish and Umair were bickering sitting beside rameen. Noor came and sat beside Umair immediately started his whining session.

''Ammi yeh to galat haina mein 2 ghantay ziyada sojao aap hampe pani gira deti hai or yeh maharani subha se bistr se bhi nhi utri. Apne to inhe kuch nhi kaha.'' said complaining Umair who folded his arms and made a pout.

'' Kyuke hamein aapni bachi ziyada aziz hai or tum hamesha to bistr pr pre rehte hamne kab kuch kaha bus or tum aapna kaam bhi dehaan sse nhi krte'' said Alishba begum while sipping tea.

Everyone snickered while Umair made his pout more hard. He looked towards Noor and his heart immediately melted. He scooted over noor and put his arms over her shoulders. put his head on her shoulders.

''Nooray aapko to ihsaas haina ham kitna kaam krte'' said Umair hoping to get a support.

''Ji Ji Umair hameein boht achi trha ihsaas hai aap kitna kam krte isliye ham aapko kuch nhi kehte'' said Noor in sweet tone making everyone in awe.

''Haye Allah hamari walida hamara ihsaas nhi krti nahi Shah Jii ka khandaan srf hamari bhen he hai jo hamara ihsaas krti. Nooray yaqeen kre ek din na sab Zaroon bhai k ilawa meri tareef ke charche krege''. said Umair in proud voice.

''*cough*'' someone coughed from behind. Umair looked towards noor.

''Are Nooray aapki awaaz kab se itni mardaana hogi. '' said Umair. Noor motioned him to look behind. He looked behind and found his maut ka farishta aka Zaroon shah.

he frozed on same place and gulped hard. He immediately removed his hand from Noor's shoulder and scooted over Mahi begum and hugged her and acted like he is sleeping.

''Noor aao zara bahir ek zaroori baat krni'' said Zaroon shah in husky voice hard gaze on her making poor child shiver under his gaze.

''Ji'' Noor quietly said and stood up she went towards Zaroon. Zaroon nodded and went towards the balcony where no one was.

They both entered balcony where moon was brightly and beautifully shining where stars in sky was only enchanting the sparkly beauty in it. Sky was dark blue.

Noor clutched her dupatta to her heart while Zaroon was standing in front of her like a statue stuffed his hands in his Jeans pocket. He sighed again and started the conversion sighing before.

''Noor ek baat puchu'' Zaroon asked in soft voice which he never showed in front of someone. Its only for one for his Noor.

''JI puch lejiye'' said Noor in confusing state.

''Jab Mahi begum aap ko hamse shaadi ka bta rhi thi aap uthi wi thi na'' said Zaroon Noor immediately looked up thinking how he got to know Zaroon noticed his gaze and her confusion

''Ji aap dusro ko to bheqah sakhti hai likin Zaroon shah ko nhi hmm'' said Zaroon smirking while noor was stunned noor eyes were more widened than before.

''Chale achi bat hai aapko pehle khud he pta chal gaya iss baat ka aapka jawad kiya hai'' said Zaroon without beating the bush around.

Noor turned towards the moon and said

''Hamara jawab haan mein he hai aapki famliy hamse be intehasha muhabbat krti hai mein unka maan nhi torungi-'' she was saying but got cutt off from Zaroon

''Ham mein se koi zoor zabardasti nhi kr rha aape jo aapke dil mein wo btaye'' said Zaroon

''Ap krege hamse shaadi'' Noor said without beating the bush around.

Zaroon was stunned shocked he smiled and also turned towards moon and said

''Bachpan ki muhabbat ke saath hamesha rehnay ka moqa milega to wo kyu koi khona chahe ga'' said Zaroon indirectly.

Noor immediately understood and blushed crept on her. she nodded

she immediately turned herself and began to rush back but a hand in a swift mode pulled her toward self. none other than Zaroon he backhugged noor who was trying to run away.

Both hearts were beating in a same rhythm.
