"Really! Congratulations," Bushra excitedly said on the phone

"Thanks," the same excitement was also in Ahanya's voice

"Sirf thanks se kaam nahi chalega, mujhe treat chahiye," Ahanya was a law student and today her results got release and she has scored highest marks in her class

(I want treat,)

"Haan kyu nahi, mujhe Kal shopping pe bhi Jana hai mall mein hi milte Hain." Ahanya made the plan

(Why not, actually tommorow I have to go to shopping so let's meet there,)

"Sure why not, mujhe tumse bohot baat karni hain." Bushra said

(I have so much to talk you,)

Tommorow they meet on the decided destination

"So what are you thinking about doing now," Bushra asked her as they just roam around shops not really looking at something

"Mamu bol rahe Hain ll.m karlo, yeh kaise lag raha Hai?" Ahanya picked a kurti and asked Bushra

(Mamu is suggesting to do ll.m... how is it looking?)

"The colour is so dull," Bushra made a face taking the kurti from her she again out it from where Ahanya picked

"Waise uncle sahi bol rahe hain," they both started walking again

(I think you should do ll.m,)

"Haan lekin kitna padhai karu, mamu kab Tak mera aur mummy ka kharcha dekhnge," Buhsra turned to Ahanya but didn't said anything

(But I also have to work, for how many years Mamu will take care of me and mummy,)

"Tum kaise jaogi?" After they were done shopping Bushra asked Ahanya when they came outside of the mall

(How will you go?)

"I'll take auto,"

"Chalo main drop Kar deti Hoon, aunty se bhi millungi," Bushra said to which Ahanya nod her

(I'll drop you and meet aunty also,)

They both came to Bushra's car placing the shoppers on the backseat, they also get in

Bushra started the car

"Hassaan aur Hina ki engagement kab hai?" Ahanya finally asked the question which was bothering her alot

(When is the engagement of Hassaan and Hina?)

Bushra glance at her then again focus on the road

"Um woh......." Her car suddenly came to halt, they both look at each other

"Kya hogaya?" They both said together and get down from car, they see smoke coming from bonnet

(What happened?)

"Ab?" They again said together looking at each other worriedly

(Now?)

"Nahi theek Hai,......don't worry we will manage,......ohk I'll call him," Bushra said on the phone while Ahanya leaned her back on the car door

(It's okay,)

Bushra looked at her and she just raised her eyebrows

"Ahil is in a meeting," although Ahil is her husband but Bushra really wanted to curse him right now

Bushra dialled another number in her phone

"Hello! Zeehan Bhai, where are you.... Actually......" Bushra called her elder brother and told him everything

"Zeehan Bhai is coming," she told Ahanya, after sometime a black car stopped just few feet away from them, but who came down from the car wasn't Zeehan but Hassaan

"Tum theek ho?" He worriedly asked his sister

(Are you okay?)

"Ji bhai hum theek Hain," Bushra said for both of them, it's when Hassaan noticed Ahanya's presence who was already looking at him

(We are fine,)

"Assalamualaikum!" Taking her eyes away from him she said

"Walekum-Assalam!" He also took his glance away,

"Chale'n?" He turned Bushra, taking the shopper from her car Hassaan put it in backseat

(Let's go,)

Bushra took seat in passenger seat while Ahanya sat on backseat

She don't know why but Bushra was feeling awkward she looked at her brother, who every few second looked into rear mirror

Then she turned a little and looked at Ahanya who's eyes was down and was playing with a ring in her finger

When the car stop outside of Ahanya's house, Bushra took a sigh that now the awkwardness will be clear

"Mummy se toh mil'lo," picking her shoppers Ahanya get down and said to Bushra

(Come inside,)

"Kisi aur din, abhi bohot Late ho gaya Hai," Buhsra said, Hassaan started the car

(Some other day, it's already late,)

"Ahanya!" But when he heard a voice he looked on the gate where a boy called Ahanya and she smiling went to him

It was the same boy whom Hassaan has saw her with before

"Woh ladka Kon Tha?" After sometime Hassaan asked Bushra

(Who was that boy?)

"Kon?" Bushra confusingly looked at Hassaan

(Who?)

"Wohi jisne Ahanya ko bulaya," he again asked, Bushra opened her mouth then close it trying to remember whom her brother is talking about

(That boy who called Ahanya,)

"Achha woh... Woh Hashir Bhai the, Ahanya ke Mamu ke bete."

(Oh him,... He is Ahanya's cousin Hashir Bhai,)

"Hashir!" Hassaan mumbled that Bushra didn't listen

"Ahil!" Bushra called her husband while sitting on the bed near him

"Haan?" Ahil looked at her confusingly then again at his laptop

(Yes?)

"Woh aap busy ho?" Lovingly she asked, Ahil again looked at her with suspicions

(Are you busy?)

"Actually woh Kya haina....." She finally came to her point

(Actually I was thinking.....)

"Achha!" Ahil nod his head when he get to know why his wife suddenly started behaving lovingly with him

(Ohk!)

"Toh call karo, but don't mention my name she won't like it," she picked his phone and pass him

(Then call her,)

"Official calls aise raat ko nahi karte, Kal call karunga," taking his phone from her he placed it on the bed

(Official calls aren't made in night, I'll call her tomorrow,)

"Theek Hai, aur Mera naam mat Lena.... Aur yaad se call karna," Bushra said, putting quvet on herself she lay down, Ahil looked at his wife then turned to his laptop

(Okay! But call her tomorrow,)

"Mummy! Mummy!" Ahanya excitedly called her mother who was working in the kitchen

"Kya hua?" Amna asked her daughter who looked really happy

(What happened?)

"Kya hua? Itna shorr kyu Kar rahi ho?" Najma also came to kitchen

(What happened? Why are you shouting?)

"Woh mami, mujhe job mil gayi," she informed them happily

(I have got job,)

"Achha! Kaha aur salary kitni Hai?"

(Where? And how they are paying?)

"Woh AZB & co. Mein as a legal advisor aur salary waha Jake discuss hogi," Ahanya informed her

(In AZB & co. As a legal advisor and salary will be discusse there,)

"Chalo theek hai," when Najma left the kitchen then both mother and daughter rejoice

"Bohot bohot Mubarak ho," Anna hugged her daughter

"Apko bhi,"

"Hassaan!" Hina wave her hand in front of him who looked in daze

"Huh!"

"Kya hua?" She asked

(What happened?)

"Nothing... What were you saying?" he nod his head negatively

Hina started her blabbering again, but Hassaan again couldn't pay attention to her as one particular face was again and again came in his mind

Her face, her smile, her voice and their midnight meetings in kitchen but then seeing her laughing with someone else

He couldn't take these thoughts out of his mind no matter how much he tried to, he looked at Hina who was busy in talking and didn't care of he is even listening to her

Then he looked around the cafe when his eyes cought something

A boy and girl who were just few seats away from them

The boy said something making the girl laugh, and laughingly the girl add something and made herself laugh more

Laughing the boy picked a tissue and pass to the girl

"Hashir!" Hassaan whispered, making Hina stopped talking

"Kon?" She asked him them turned back to see where he was looking at

(Who?)
