"A journey with a thousand miles begins with a single step "

Aliyan was surprised by the sudden announcement by Shees that they will be going on dinner at Siddique's.

Many questions popped in Aliyan's head which Shees could tell by his bewildered face but he said he would tell him everything later or when the time was right.

Aliyan didn't want to pressure him too because something changed in Shees.

They looked at the walk clock and saw that they don't have much time to get ready so they just rushed to their rooms to see if there is something they could wear.

While getting ready Aliyan was thinking about what would be Emaan's reaction to see them there because of the heated argument they didn't leave a good impression on her.

He just brushed off all the thoughts and went to shower as he was not the one guilty.

Around 8 o clock, they arrived at Siddique's villa.

Mr. Siddique was out there to receive them which was quite shocking for both of them. One thing was cleared that Emaan didn't tell him anything yet.

Aliyan and Shees shook hands with him and went inside.

Shees was impressed to see the villa as it was designed so majestically .

The white and brown combination of the interior looks so marvelously done that he wanted to buy a villa and designed it like that.

They sat on the sofa when Mr. Siddique's wife came with the tea trolly. Although they have so many workers, Mrs. Siddique loves to do it by herself.

They chit-chat a lil in between. Mr. Siddiqui told him about the stupidest things he and his father had done when they were in University.

Surprisingly Shees was laughing and enjoying listening to those adventures. He was like a small child who would love listening to any story that includes his parents.

Aliyan was happy seeing his buddy a lil relaxed after so many years.

After having tea, the maid came to tell them that the dinner was ready so they went to the dining table.

They sat showing back to the door from where Emaan could only see their back and hair perfectly done.

They look quite young. She thought.

Emaan was wearing a pink color Shalwar and Kameez (Pakistan traditional attire) while her hair was straightened a lil with natural makeup.

She was looking elegant and lovely. That's what Shees thought when she came in front of him.

Just one glance and he was down or you could say his heart was ready to come out in excitement. There was a strange feeling in his stomach.

When she was pulling her chair back to sit down, her eyes met with Shees. She stopped right there.

Emaan was appalled to see him in her house on her table.

Shees totally forgot about Emaan. So when she parted her lips to say something Shees stood up abruptly and drew out his hand.

"Hello! Miss Emaan, Nice to meet you again. How are you?". He spewed out in such an awkward tone that it was hard for Aliyan to control his laugh.

Shees knew that if Emaan told them about what happened between them on their first meeting he would be surely getting kicked out of this house.

Emaan really wanted to ask him what he was doing here after all that drama but seeing her father so happy she just kept herself quiet.

"Walaikum Aslaam! I'm good Mr Shees. What a pleasant surprise to have you here". Emaan said sarcastically and sat down without shaking hands.

Shees knew what she was getting onto but right now he had to behave or else he knew the consequences.

He put his hand down and Aliyan just let out a chuckle which he controlled after getting a death glare by Shees.

Aliyan was totally up for this drama.

All the time Emaan was glaring at him like she would eat him up if her father was not there. And Shees was constantly smiling because he liked Emaan tigeress looks.

At that time all confusion was gone. She was definitely not a gold digger. That's what Shees thought in his head.

After dinner, they moved to the living room to have the sweet dish which Emaan prepared at the request of his father.

When they settled down, Mr. Siddique gave Shees a package that was left by his father.

Shees was trying his best not to be emotional and grabbed the package.

"I got this package last year when I visited my house in London. After I graduated from university I went to that house less. I don't know who received it but it's been there for 10 years. I just came to know about it recently. I was so happy that my buddy finally remembered me after all those years of not contacting each other. But later I found out that your parents died in a car accident and this package was for you. I felt like my heart tore into pieces when i heard the news. So I wanted to pass on his last things to you but to do that, I have been searching for you for months. And guess what, I met you here by coincidence".

The guy who made his heart stone just melted by the mention of his family.

Shees just hugged Mr. Siddiqui without saying a word. He found something that belongs to his dad and no words needed that how grateful he was for it. Everyone chuckled at his childish behavior except Emaan.

She rolled her eyes because she apparently remembered all bullshit what Shees had said about her father.

The rush of that memory brought out all the bitterness she felt on hearing that insults so to get back at him while passing the sweet dish Emaan threw it on him and acted as if it happened by mistake.

The trifle was all over on his pants. Emaan acted like she was apologetic about it when Shees knew she was not.

Shees smiled at her cute lil act and asked about the washroom because the trifle did his job. It went way inside him.

Mr Siddique told Emaan to take him to the guest room to clean his pants. Emaan wanted to whined that she didn't wanted to go but Shees spoke up while smirking :

" Which way Miss Emaan?"

Emaan so wanted to rip that smirk off his face.

Whereas Aliyan was enjoying all this Tom and Jerry show of "Shees and Emaan ".

Emaan got up with a fake smile and showed him the way, when they reached the door of the room Shees halted and spun.

"Now that you have taken your revenge and embarrassed me in front of everyone, i think we are equal". Shees asserted smiling.

And one more thing...

Shees paused and scratched the back of his nape didn't know how to say it but after lots of courage he finally spewed out.

"Umm...I wanted to... You know... apologize for everything I said.... at our first meeting. It was some kind of misunderstanding".

Shees was shocked by himself. He just spewed out an apology. He had never apologized to anyone in his life.

Emaan was taken aback by this sudden apology but she vividly remember those words so she didn't want to forgive him that easily.

"Look Mr. Shees, I don't know why did you said all that gibberish, or was it just a misunderstanding or not. I think you should better clean your clothes first if you don't want your expensive clothes got the stain".

She stresses over "EXPENSIVE" because that's what he showed her during their first meetup.

Yeah! Yeah! I better do it fast or else I don't know where the next trifle plate came flying over from.

Emaan rolled her emerald green eyes that made Shees chuckle.

He went to the washroom and cleaned himself in 10 mins but stayed in the room just to tease Emaan.

25 mins had already passed and he had not come out, so she decided to go inside. Shees stood behind the door when Emaan came into the room.

She was going towards the washroom to check if he's alright or not but she got startled by an unfamiliar touch around her wrist.

It was Shees who had grabbed her hand and pushed her against the door after locking it up.

She was about to yell when Shees put his hand over her tiny lil mouth.

He chuckled on seeing her making her hazel green eyes wide like she saw a ghost or something.

"So I'll leave the casualty aside. Listen Emaan, I'm really sorry about all that nonsense I spoke to you about you and your father that day. I was mistaken about certain... things. I hope you can forgive me". Shees lifted both of his eyebrows waiting for Emaan's answer but he forgot to remove his hand.

Emaan was not uttering anything like someone glued her lips. When Shees saw the confusion and the flushed face of Emaan he tried to control his laugh by pressing them together.

'Take your time. I'll come tomorrow for the answer" . Shees patted gently on Emaan's cheek and went outside.

Emaan was standing there like a statue. It happened so sudden that it took time for Emaan to come back to her senses. And when she recalled what just happened to her, Emaan's face turned red.

The redness was a mixture of anger and an unknown strange feeling, she felt when Shees was so close to her at that time.

Emaan stepped out of the room to teach Shees a lesson when she bumped into someone and fell down .
