Shees was walking towards the office when he heard some children giggling sounds coming from the ground.

He walked towards there and saw the "Jan e dushman" (this word is used to express the love a husband has for his wife) of his life playing with those children.

He looked towards Emaan awestruck that he had forgotten his surroundings.

Shees was so into his staring contest of Emaan that when a lil girl shook his leg he got startled.

Grandpa, why are you looking at our didi (means big sister)?

Me! Grandpa! From where? Are you sure your eyes are alright kiddo? He semi-shouted on that child.

Listening word "Grandpa" from that 6 year old baby girl was shocking for him. But suddenly he realised that he disguised himself as an old grandpa that's why that baby girl was mistaken.

Shees looked towards the baby with a smile whose eyes were already filled with water.

No! Wai- Shees was cut in the middle cuz that lil girl started crying loudly.

Shees tried to put hands over her mouth so the attention of others didn't come to his side but it was late. Emaan already called him out.

You! There! White beard uncle. What are you doing with the kid? She ran quickly to his side.

Shees thicked his accent a lil so that Emaan didn't know that it was him.

I was not doing anything Miss. She just bumped into me and started crying. I was the one who was trying to console the kid. Shees gave her charming smile but he forgot that the beard was not letting it show to Emaan.

Emaan looked at him with the lines on her forehead because the voice sounded familiar to her.

Btw I'm Sher Khan. He brought out his hand for a handshake in nervousness.

Can I ask you what you are doing here, Mr Khan? Emaan looked at his hand then to his face.

I love this girl a lot. This old habit of her is still the same. My cute lil Emmy. Shees thought it in his head and smiled like an idiot in front of her.

Mr Khan? She snapped her finger in front of him.

Y-Yes. He stuttered.

Can you please explain what you are doing here on private property? Didn't you read before entering here, that outsiders are not allowed without permission.

Emaan asked strictly because last time something happened last time. A drunken old guy came here and tried to assault the girls here. Thanks to Aliyan who saved them.

Lady, I'm Mr Khan. I came here for an interview. Is the vacancy of the chef still open? He asked while coming a lil closer to her.

Oh! So you are that chef uncle. I'm so sorry uncle. These days we can't trust anyone thats why i was being a lil rude. Come inside. Let me serve you tea. She said in apologetic tone.

Her heart was beating fast suddenlty as the uncle's voice sounds similar to someone she used to know in the past.

Shees heart was full seeing his one and only happy. He just nodded and walked along with her.

They settled down in their respective seats.

Uncle, i have heard a lot about you but this is my first time seeing you in person. You look quite young then your age. Emaan smiled genuinely.

Really! Shees rubbed the nape of his neck.

Yes uncle. So tell me when will you be joining this school?

B-But don't you need to interview me first? Shees was getting anxious as this was all a lie. No Sher Khan was coming.

Why would i need to interview the best chef in the town? Uncle please join us from tomorrow. We are really short in hands. Emaan said like a lil baby who was asking his grandpa to buy her chocolate. Shees laughed at his cute lil wifey acting.

Okay! Sure. Shees said it without giving it a single thought.

Emaan's face beamed with happiness.

Thank you so much uncle. I really owe you this. She got up and took out the contract papers from the cabinet.

And now Shees was sweating badly. He didn't think that far and said yes because that's what Emaan wanted but he forgot that he was not Sher Khan.

Beta, can we sign the contract later? I didn't bring my glasses today.

Okay no problem uncle. She nodded and put that contract aside.

Now both were sitting in silence which was making this meeting awkward so Emaan spoke up.

Now that you are here uncle why don't you visit our orphanage? Come, let me show you around.

She showed Shees all the orphanage but Shees just saw Emaan laugh, Emaan smile and Emaan tucking back the hair strands that are coming over her face. He was mesmerized by Emaan once again.

Shees was so into Emaan that he didn't see the flying water balloon coming towards his side.

It smashed right over his face. Shees all clothes were wet.

Emaan was trying to be apologetic and trying to control her laughter.

The children gathered around both of them with water balloons in their hands.

Shees got an idea and without thinking he splashed a water balloon over Emaan's head which he took from a lil girl running around them.

Emaan was clearly shocked. She was not expecting a 70 year old man to do this with her.

Everyone laughed how all wet Emaan was, so she included her laugh in their laughter too. Soon the water fight started.

Everyone was fighting with water balloons when Emaan felt weird.

How can a 70 year old man be so active and running like a young man? She was in her thoughts when she saw Shees beard coming off. Right at that moment Emaan hands went up over her mouth.

Shees! Her eyes started to be filled with water.

Shees was playing with children when he saw Emaan running away from the playground.

Emaan beta what happened? He shouted but she didn't stop. Shees clearly saw her crying.

He ran after her and turned her face towards him. He was gasping.

W-why are you.. running away? Shees one hand was on Emaan's shoulder and the other was on his knees.

The other thing Emaan did was unexpected. She grabbed him from his collar and stood him straight.
Emaan took out his fake beard and showed him.

You are still the same "A Big Liar". It would've been good meet up if you didn't make me fool like this.

Let me explain Emaan..

No. And don't you dare to follow me.
She threw that fake beard on the ground and ran away.

Shees saw her going far away from his eyes until she was no longer in his sight.

He punched the air in anger.

ALIYAN, I will kill. He pushed back his hair in frustration and called someone.

Tunnnnnn..... Tunnnnnn.....

The bell was ringing but no one was answering. God damn it pick up the phone.

Hel-

I will kill you Aliyan. Because of your stupid idea, Emaan is angry now. She left crying, you idiot. Shees didn't let Aliyan complete his greeting and burst out.

Aliyan soon got into fits of laughter after listening the whole story.
I mean, how could you caught up so fast? That doesn't make sense. Aliyan said while laughing.

Just shut up and tell me where Emaan lives. I'll handle the rest. He was annoyed by his laughing clearly.

I will tell the address in one condition. You need to give back my half year salary. If you say "No", then bye buddy. I don't know you. Aliyan was testing Shees patience.

Okay! Fine. Now give me her address.

1 hour later

Emaan! Emaan! Come out. I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have done that. It was all Aliyan's idea. Please forgive me. I won't move an inch until you forgive me. Shees shouted while standing outside Emaan's house.

Emaan was sitting on a couch in her sound proof walls room. She was remembering all the happy memories and how that one word "AFFECTION" took away all her happiness.

She didn't know Shees was standing outside of her house.

Shees spend all night outside her house in his wet clothes.

In the morning, when Emaan's butler came in the morning. He told her that a young guy disguised himself as an old man and was sitting outside of the house.

What will I do with this idiot? She put the cup of her coffee on the slip and ran outside in haste.

Shees! Shees! Open your eyes. Emaan put her hand over his forehead which was burning. She called her butler and took him inside.

Emaan called the doctor of that village.

ASALAM-O-ALAIKUM uncle. Can you come over here? There is an emergency. She said it while biting her nails. Emaan was very nervous.

Yes, I will beta. The doctor said that and Emaan declined the call.
She told her butler to get a thermometer and a bowl with a clothe piece. After five mins, the butler came inside with the things she asked for.

Emaan checked his temperature.
It was 104°.

You are really an idiot. A drop from her eyes cascade down till her cheeks. She wiped the tear and put the piece of wet clothe over his burning head.

While doing it, she touched his face unknowingly. She caressed his left cheek.

Why do i feel like you are broke like me? Tell me you felt the same pain that I have exprienced these last 5 years. Just speak up that you also love me like I do. Tell me I'm thinking right. The butler knocked at the door and told Emaan that the doctor had come. She wiped the tears and took away her hand from his face.

The doctor came inside with a knock.
ASALAM-O-ALAIKUM beta. How are you?

I'm good uncle. Can you please check him out? His fever is not going down. She was clearly tense about the situation.

He started to check Shees' condition.
Emaan looked at him when all the stupid thoughts were roaming in her head.

Why was he standing there? Did he really love me? Can he really not see a tear in my eyes? Why did he become stubborn and didn't leave yesterday? Am I being very hard on him? What should I do when he woke up? Should I just forgive him? Should I get divorce? What should I do with this idiot? I don't know what to do with him anymore.

Emaan brushes off all her thoughts when the doctor calls his name.

He does not show very good signs. I suggest you take him to a hospital. They will tell you better. The doctor said in concern.

He could tell that this very person was dear to Emaan.

Emaan thanked the doctor and took Shees in her. She put seatbelt on him and drove her car to the hospital.

After 3 hours of driving they reached at the hospital. Emaan called a ward boy to help her. The ward boy took Shees on a wheel chair inside the hospital.

They were standing in the emergency room for 30 mins and still no doctor was coming oustide. Emaan was losing her patience. She looked towards Shees who was still unconscious.

She barged into the doctor's room where they were talking, laughing and eating peacefully.

If something happens to my husband, istg I will put this whole hospital on fire. And trust me, I mean it. She shouted loudly as she banged the door.

One or maybe two chaps left. I'm writing it with a heavy heart. I hope I'm not rushing the story. I wanted to give it a good ending.
