"Sir, should I serve the dinner?"
Mr. Hassan was sitting in the lounge working on the laptop when a servant came to ask him."No, I am not feeling hungry.... you go and ask Shah Zain to come here."After listening to his order he darted towards Shah Zain's room."Listen, did Noor eat something?"He asked in a concerned tone as he knows she rarely takes care of her eating and drinking."No sir, after coming back from the university she enclosed herself in her room though Zain sir did his best to make her eat something but she refused eating."He tells him everything in detail."Alright, you go ask Shah Zain to come here....."After his answer, he becomes a bit worried.As his servant left him, he again busied himself in his laptop. Instantly, the phone, which was near the couch, rang.Seeing an unknown number he was intending to cut it but then thinking something he picks up the call."Assalamualaikum (greetings)..... uncle...."As soon as he picks up the call, greetings were instantly said to him. This voice was unknown to him, but the words captured his attention."Walaikum slam (greetings back).....who is talking...?"Mr. Hassan tried to recognize him."It's not right that you forgot me that quickly, I was not expecting that..... anyway it's ok, I came back then you will remember everything....."There was something knowable in his tone, which Mr. Hassan can feel very easily."Kawish....."It took a moment for him to recognize him. Since when did he forget him?But his calling after so many years has most probably startled him."Ohh great..... you do remember me....."There was mocking in his tone."Why you called and what do you want...."He came straight to the point. There was a fear rising inside him."Why I called and what I want... I will also tell you that, for that, you have to meet with me, these talk can't happen on the phone......my motive for calling you is to remind you of myself that if you forget me so you will be reminded that I have some relation with you..... and soon I will meet with you."As always he talked to him sternly and coldly and then he cuts the call.Mr. Hassan was now remembering his words, sitting still for a long time."He came back.....he came....""Who came Dad?"As soon as Shah Zain enters the lounge he happened to listen to these words uttered from his mouth."Kawish came back."He said to Shah Zain as he saw him in front of himself and stood up from his seat worriedly.While after listening to the name of Kawish from his mouth, he kept looking at the face of his father for a moment. *******She was sitting in her cabin with closed eyes relaxing herself when the ringing of the phone interrupted her peace.In irritation, she picks up the call."Miss Minal bring that file to me which I told you to prepare for today's evening meeting."And after listening to voice of Shah Zain, Minal clenched her lips in furiousness. Today hen she came to the company, he gives her a lot of work which makes her hell tired.A little earlier she had just come back from his room. And now again he was calling her to his room.In anger, Minal gets up from her place, and taking the file she darted towards his room.She knows that he is doing all this deliberately with her.After knocking on the door she went inside."Miss Minal perhaps you are used to doing every work late....."He said after looking time on his wristwatch.While Minal keep thinking that which work she did late, in fact, she was doing every work on time."Sir, here is the file....."Suppressing her anger, she put the file on the table.While Shah Zain keeps gazing at her red face which turned because of anger. Don't know what is it in her face that whenever he looks at her he feels a strange sensation for her.Yesterday how much he was worried after Kawish's call but now after seeing her, he forgets everything.Don't know why he enjoys making her annoyed. That's why he was deliberately giving her a lot of work."You can check it, if there's any mistake......"She moves toward him after saying that. Then Shah Zain open the file and started looking in the file."It's not complete, there are some mistakes, correct it ......"He put the file back on the table. On his saying, Minal looks at him dumbfounded."But I saw it, there was not any mistake....."He was enraged at her lying."Correct it right now, no you just sit here and correct this file here....."He signals her to sit in front of him in the chair.Listening to his another command, Minal grinds her teeth and sits on the chair. She started checking the file.A moment later, she senses him gazing at her so she raises her head and finds him busy on his mobile.Looking at him for a moment, she again bends on the file. Then again she senses that feeling."Nasty man......"In her heart, she started abusing him and then she engaged herself in the work."What's your problem, why are you looking at me...."When it crossed her patience then she rise from her place in anger."Mind your language Miss Minal it's my office, not your home..... and second what's special in you that I will look at you..... perhaps you are suffering from a very big misconception, if you accept it then clear your misconception...."With his talks, he made Minal feel quite guilty."You go, give me this file, and I will rectify it....."Finding guilt on her face, he permits her to go then, and she, without looking at him moves out fastly.While a smile came to his lips seeing her fastness."Why you want to meet, now speak up....."Mr. Hassan said while glaring at the Kawish who was sitting in front of him with all his glory.But he was giving cold impression while looking at them.He was seeing him after full ten years. He seemed an exact copy of his father.But only his eyes are black while his father's were honey color. For a moment as he looks at him, he feels like it is his friend, Ali, who is in front of him."You know it very well what is my reason for coming here..... and why I want to meet you....?"Like his posture, his tone was also strict and cold."And you know it very well that whatever you want is impossible..... still you came here"This time, Shah Zain who was sitting on the other sofa didn't remain quiet. Listening to his talk Kawish smiled sarcastically like he was making fun of what he is saying."It will be better if you don't talk about possibility or impossibility.... because there's nothing impossible for Kawish Ali....."He was saying it more lik
She was lying on the bed closing her eyes to try to sleep. But sleep was quite distant from her eyes.In irritation, she tossed to other side of the bed.For a while, she lay closing her when instantly someone's face appeared behind her closed eyes.Getting scared she opened her eyes. And she got up in a jerk.She is in that state for the last three days. In fact, after that incident, she avoids going to the university.Again and again, that scene keeps appearing in front of her eyes.Suddenly her gaze moved to the bruise on her hand which has been healed. But still, she can feel his lips touch on her finger.Remembering that scene again, her whole body started shivering, while on her forehead tiny drops of sweat appeared.What is this happening, why is this happening she was not understanding her state.Her heart started beating loudly then getting afraid of her state she rise from her place and came to the side of the window.Opening the door of the window, she keeps standing there
She was standing on the bus stand waiting for the bus but the bus seems to be far from coming.She watches time on her wristwatch, it is getting seven o clock.She becomes more anxious after watching time. It means she was standing here for the last half hour. Till then she will be at home."Uffff..... Minal you must learn to do work quickly, now see how much late it is, second mama will also be worried.She was now getting worried about her mother.Today there was a lot of work in the company, which has taken a lot of time in finishing.She keeps gazing at her right and left but the bus is far from seeing till now."Today mana will surely choke me from my throat, she already doesn't approve my this job, and on top of that she already is furious at me for late-arriving every day."She was looking on the other side when a car came and stopped near her. In fear, Minal takes two steps back.When the door of the car opened, Shah Zain came out of it. A frown formed on his forehead after se
Flashback"Minal, look there in front, quickly......"Isha signals her in a direction from whereby Minal was walking with her. "Where Api (sister), what is there?"She was not getting what her sister was telling her."Hey, look here in the front, with a black car where two women are standing...."Isha was now telling her in detail. Because there was so much crowd so she can't make her understand through her finger gesture.Because she feels scared if the one in front of her looks at her."Right that car......yes the car is good.... but Api we can't purchase such an expensive car."She said innocently, to which Isha smiled. "Silly, I am not telling you about the car but the boy who is standing with the car....."Isha diverted her attention toward the boy. On saying Isha she looks at the boy, who was standing with the car and talking with someone on his phone."That's the guy about whom I told you.... you know he is the most handsome guy in our university, every girl in university dr
"What happened? Why are you that silent, Is there something worrisome?"Since the time Mrs. Yusra came to the room, she finds silently her sitting husband in one position, when she can't bear it anymore, she asked him.At Mrs. Yusra's voice, he raises his head and looks at her, who was looking at him with questioning eyes."Nothing, there's a lot of work in the company nowadays so for that reason I am feeling exhausted."After answering her, he gets up from his place. As he already knows it doesn't make any difference to her if she knows. "Till now you never feel exhausted, then why today.....or you don't want to tell me something....."She inquisitively looks at him while saying. She feels like Mr. Hassan is hiding something from her and she was not wrong in thinking that."Kawish came back....."He tells her as if some surprising news. But she wasn't affected by what Mr. Hassan said."Kawish came back then what is there to worry about, he has to come back here one day and he came.
Flashback"Noor, come here....see what I bring for you...see."An eighteen years old boy, holding a chocolate in his hand, was standing in front of a ten years old girl to try to give her that chocolate.He tried to talk to her but that little child always gets scared and went to her mother hiding behind her."See Aunt, whenever I come here, she always does this with me...."The boy complained to Miss Sara, who was standing in front of him, against that little girl.He always comes to Mr. Hassan's house just for the sake of Noor. But, on the other side, let alone speaking she can't even come near him.And as always he complained against her to Miss Sara."No son, it's not only with you that she is behaving like that, she also acts like that with Shah Zain whenever he comes home on vacation......but you don't feel sad, Noor is a little child now, son....... and she is also very weak, she can't get along with other people that immediately.....it will take some time, she will get fine by
"Bhai, What are you doing...."As Noor enters Shah Zain's room, she finds him searching for something in his wardrobe, so she asked him.Listening to the voice of Noor, he turned to look back at her."Nothing, I was not finding my white shirt so I am looking for it....."He closed the wardrobe and came towards her."Let me do so Bhai, I will find it, it will be here, but you couldn't spot it...."As she listened to Shah Zain, she moves towards his wardrobe but Shah Zain stopped her by holding her from her arm."No, leave it, have I ever did any work from you before that I will do now."He smiled looking at her and holding her hand, he make her sit on the sofa."Now tell me, what do you want to talk about...."He keeps holding her hand. "Bhai, how do you know that I want to talk to you about something...."She was astonished, at what her brother said. "The sadness on your face tell me about it.... now tell me quickly what is troubling you...."His tone was serious now. He is like th
Flashback"Yaar, Minal I am here talking to you, and here you are sitting engross in your books.....put it aside......"Ishal said getting irritated. She takes the books from Minal's hand and puts them aside."What's this aapi.......let me study..... I will listen to you later on......"Minal said getting frustrated, she was taking her books back but Ishal has put them far away from her approach.She always does this, whenever Minal sits for studying she makes her engaged with herself in talking.Unwillingly, Minal has to keep listening to her talking. "Listen yaar, you know that till I don't tell you about myself I don't feel at ease......"She said innocently staring at Minal. On that, Minal feels great love for her sister."Right aapi, tell me, I am listening....."She gets up from the bed and stood. There's no other way with her other than listening to her sister."You know Minal, today what happened in the university .....he tells me that I am very nice."She started saying her
"Minal. Minal yaar come to the room, quickly."She was in the kitchen doing work with a maid when on Shah Zain calling, her fast-moving hands stopped working."Don't know what he isn't finding now. Aapa you watch it, I'm just coming."Instructing her maid, she came out of the kitchen running to her room.A while earlier, she gives him his file, which he wasn't finding. Now she got irritated by his calling her again.As always when he is at home he kept annoying her like that. Minal just suppressed her rage whenever he called her for his little things.She understood, after listening to the crying voice coming out of the bedroom, that her both devils have wake up. And Mr. Shah Zain was unable to hold them.Smilingly as she entered her room, her mouth was left open. A while earlier she just cleaned the room. But now it wasn't looking like a clean room anymore."Shah Zain what have you made of this room. I just cleaned it a little earlier."She said looking at the scattered things here
As Shah Zain stepped into his room, the scene in front of him left him with an open mouth. Minal was standing in front of the dressing table, taking off her jewelry. "What are you doing this?" He quickly dashed to her."What I am doing? I was feeling irritated by all these things so I have to take it off."Ignoring his astonished face, Minal was taking off her bangles now. While after listening to her answer made Shah Zain bang his head somewhere."Yaar, you have to wait at least for my coming here. I haven't looked at you properly."He really wants to teach a lesson to Minal for her doing all this.How much happy he was. But this crazy girl has ruined his happiness in a moment."What you didn't look properly? You looked thousand times at me. What was special today?"Saying in carelessness, she took off all her jewelry. Shah Zain just kept staring at her silently."Yes I remembered, you still didn't give me my mou dikhai (a ritual in which a gift is given to the bride upon first appe
In both houses, the preparation for marriage was going on in full swing. On the one side, if Noor with Shah Zain was shopping for Minal then on the other side, Minal with Kawish was shopping for Noor. But the actual thing was that both Kawish and Shah Zain were the ones who were doing the shopping for their wives.Everyone was happy. Only Kawish and Shah Zain were sad. And why they shouldn't be sad as they both have been separated from their wives.Right now, to them, Mr. Hassan and Mrs. Nimra were no less than cruel people, who separated them from their wives. For them, these seven days weren't less than seven months.While Noor and Minal were unaware of their state and enjoying every moment of celebration.Finally, that day came which is going to end their wait and desperation. On Mr. Hassan's wish, they arrange a reception function in the lawn of their house. The lawn was decorated very beautifully with lights and flowers.Mr. Hassan invited some of his friends and business partner
After giving medicines to her father and assuring he is slept, she went to the kitchen taking the tray.Today Mr. Hassan's health wasn't well so Noor kept on sitting with him for a long time. While talking with him, she wasn't aware of the track of the time. She came out of his room after he was sleep.She was taking care of him wholeheartedly. She was fulfilling her responsibilities as her daughter.Finding her worries and concern for himself, her father was feeling happy.From the very beginning, he wants to see Noor near himself. The way she was talking with him now has ended almost half of his sickness.And now the void of father's absence in the heart of Noor has also been filled after spending time with him.After putting the tray aside, she was intended to make coffee for herself. Because sleep has been completely wiped from eyes now.But before she turn around, someone hugged her from back taking her in his arms.His touch and the familiar scent of him hit her nose. A beautifu
"Shah Zain. Noor."Mr Hassan looked at his children who were standing near his bed. Noor's tears were not stopping after finding her father in this state. While Shah Zain was doing his best to hold himself together.After he got the call from the hospital, he straightly came here. And after taking Kawish's number from Minal, he called him to come here immediately.They both were on the verge of breaking after seeing their father in this state.No matter how much children are angry with their parents, they can't see their parents in pain.Shah Zain and Noor were going through the same condition. No matter how much they were angry eith their father, they both were hurt by looking at their father in this state."Son, I apologize to you both for what I did. I know I did so much bad with your mother. Please you both forgive me."Because of pain, he was hardly speaking. "Dad, that's enough for us."Shah Zain silenced him."It's not enough, son. I did very badly with Sara and Zeb. I didn't
After coming out of the washroom, her eyes first fell on Shah Zain who was sound sleeping. A beautiful smile crept on Minal lips upon looking at him. Tossing the towel on the sofa she went towards the bed. Till yesterday how lonely she was feeling. She was feeling a great void in her life because of the absence of Shah Zain. But now she's complete. Because he was now with her, very close to her. Minal was sitting near him staring at his sleeping form. In sleep, how much innocent he was looking. But when he is in anger, his this innocence is then lost somewhere else. With love, Minal was caressing his every facial feature. Then Minal shivered in fear remembering his red face in anger. On her touch, when he didn't wake up then Minal's smile on her face further deepened. Very slowly she entangled her finger in Shah Zain's hair and pulled his hair strongly. On her doing this, Shah Zain, getting flinch, opened his eyes. First, he didn't get what had just happened to him. But he
Minal was lying on the bed tossing to right and left. She used to live in this room. But today she wasn't feeling at peace in her room. How can she be at peace as her peace is where Shah Zain lives? Leaving that house wasn't that easier for her. But she can't live in that house without Shah Zain. Bearing everything without him was more painful for her. For now, she didn't tell anything to her mother. But she didn't think about the coming time or what will going to happen to her in the future. Perhaps she was still hopeful that Shah Zain will come and take her back. In her tense state, she lies straightly and puts her arm on her eyes. Maybe, by doing so sleep will engulf her. She kept lying like this for some time when she felt someone's weight on herself. Minal got scared, but still, she kept lying with closed eyes. But the very next moment, that person grabbed her by her neck. In fear, Minal opened her eyes. She was taken aback for a moment. "Shah Zain." Because of his hol
Noor was standing in the kitchen thinking about cooking something for herself. When the doorbell rang. In astonishment, she looked at the wall clock which was indicating twelve o clock. "Kawish came early." Other than Kawish there was no one in her mind. Because till now she didn't see anyone coming here. Kawish went a few hours earlier, so she was surprised about his coming early. On the other side, her heart was also happy for his early arrival. Instantly, she was reminded of the scene that happened in the morning. How hard she convinced Kawish to go to the office. And before he left he didn't forget to blackmail her. Thinking about his blackmailing, a shy smile crept on Noor's lips. Smilingly as she opened the door, she forget to blink her eyes on seeing the person in front of herself. While Shah Zain's condition wasn't that much different from hers. "Brother." In a very slow voice, she called him. Seeing her brother after so many days had made her eyes teary. On her voi
"Kawish how much more work of yours is still left? I'm feeling sleepy."She said uninterestingly while straightening the bed sheet, and glanced at Kawish who was sitting in front of her on the sofa.It's been two hours he was working on the laptop nonstop and she was sitting looking and waiting for him to get free. But his work didn't seem to get finished."Yes, my love, I'm just coming. But today I don't have any intention of taking sleep so you also forget about your sleep." On Noor's saying, he looked up at her from the laptop while saying mischievously.On that, Noor's face turned red in shyness. His talks were enough to make her feel shy.After saying that, he again becomes busy with his work. And she was looking at him chewing her lip.While staring at him, a thought popped into her mind."Kawish, can I ask you something?"She again addressed him."Yes ask, but come and sit here because from that far either I can listen to you or look at you so come near me."He was gesturing h
