Gulistan-e-Johar
7 am

Girl with caramel colour hair shifted in her bed uncomfortably with groan leaving her mouth. She pulled covers off her head just to glare at her 16 year old sister who was making alot of noises while opening drawers

Since the day her younger sister's summer vacations has ended and she has started going back to her waking up in morning routine for school, it's been pain for her because her sister would get annoyed waking up early and start getting ready for school aggressively while she's sleeping peacefully in her comfy bedroom. She has to bare her these tantrums since they share room

"Dimag kharab hai tumhara amna dekh nahi raha mein sorahi hu!" She shot her glare

Amna shoved copies in her school bag aggressively and looked at her sister with no expression. She was already dressed in her the city school white uniform and maroon dupatta also glasses, Amna is your average 16 year old moody teenager and also nerd for romantic novels, if her sister is one to describe her she will only mention two things about amna baadtameez and baadlihaz

"Agar apki neend puri hogayi ho toh time dekh len 7 baj rahe hai" Amna informed her with hint of taunting in her voice

She was about to pull back covers over her head and sleep until she realised it, amna rolled her eyes when she saw her sister kicking off covers jumping off bed and rushing inside washroom with various curses on way out of panic. Why wouldn't she be panicking she's late for first day at university, she has been talking about this whole week and it slipped out of her mind on very day. Amna grabbed her bag and walked out of room just to encounter with another elder sister of hers

"Shehnaaz ready hui?" She asked keeping plate of omelet on dinning table of four where elder man who seems to be in his 50s sitting. He was sipping on his tea while watching news on TV as his eyes fell on both daughters

Alam qureshi, he's 57 year old with 3 beautiful daughters whom he loves very much. His wife died few years ago due to cancer since then he's only parent figure in their life. He is senior lawyer in high-court who never believes in giving or taking corruption and has strict rules against it, he has paid every expense of his family with clean and money earned by hard work, he would rather die than feed them something earned from injustice or hurting someone

"Uth toh len phely wo" Amna scoffed sliding in chair beside her father who hummed in displeasure not because his daughter is sleeping but because news about certain politician came on television

Sidharth gabol

He's son of leading party leader and politician himself. His father has been selected as prime minister twice and he's competing now for third time. This time his son Sidharth gabol has also been selected as member of National Assembly, MNA and currently rumours were circulating about him being next education minister. He's 32

Sidharth gabol is impulsive, arrogant, haughty, disrespectful and overbearing. He acts like he own world and keep people on their knees, there are thousands of cases in high court kept shut in about him and his behaviour. He isn't only arrogant but killer and criminal as well, in simple words he's mafia of country. Do anything but cross path with someone like him

"Kya matlab uth toh len abhi tak sorahi hua wo? Mujhe adhe ghante mein office phochna hai" Maham complained, which made alam to look away from news. Few months ago she has started her banking job right after completing MBA from Szabist University on full scholarship, her father wanted her to study further but she denied and started job to support her father in monthly house income

She marched angrily towards her sister's room and banged on washroom door. There was no reply just sound of water running

"Shehnaaz!" She shouted banging her fist against wooden door again. Still no reply which made her even more angry, she was about to bang on door again but it flew open with Shehnaaz looking at her with guilty smile

Shehnaaz Alam, 19 year old middle child and favourite of her father which was rare for middle child. She's clumsy, trusting, naive, gentle, compassionate and very much innocent

She has honey brown capitative eyes, she gets 'are you wearing lenses' compliment many times. Her hair are Carmel Brown shade with length that reaches right above her waist. Long thick lashes and natural pink cheeks were gifted to her, her lips were perfect size with pinkish tone. She was 1.65m and has slim body

She is medical student, she had always dreamed about being MBBS doctor since childhood and has studied really hard for it but luck didn't work in her favour and she missed MBBS from 4 marks only, she couldn't get into university on merit and her father couldn't really afford huge sum they asked for her self finance so she end up crushing her dreams in trash bin and went for BDS (bachelor of dental surgery) a dentist. It wasn't something bad she was grateful about this as well

She got admission in Ziauddin University and still paid huge amount of money but way less then what they asked for MBBS. It was her first day and looks like she's already late

"Alarm kyun nahi rakha tumne? Time dekho 7:45 horahe hain tumhara phela class 8 baje hai aur mera office 8:15 pe" Maham scold her while she was pulling her hair in ponytail with guilty and stressful look over her face. She doesn't wanna be late on her very first day

She took cream colour reshmi duppata from wardrobe that matches her two piece suit and pulled it around her neck before grabbing her new white lab coat and purse that she has kept organised on study table night before. Maham's gaze followed her as she was applying mascara on her lashes, she sighed walking out of room and Shehnaaz following her after closing lights and fan off

She entered and her eyes fell on man in news, she wasn't someone who's ever interested in politics or what's going on in world but she knows man in news and has been seeing him all over social media for past few months. Sidharth gabol, man with dead dark eyes which can see through you, sharp and masculine features, jet black hair those are always styled not even stand out of place, build physic and always well dressed in expensive fabric and stuff. He looks way more intimidating and unapproachable for politician

She has seen viral video of him beating the shit out of some man mercilessly, he himself had blood dripping from side of his head and cover of lips, his knuckles also silver rings covered in man's blood. She hates violence and blood, thinking about it gives her shiver

"Shehnaaz raat ko kitne baje soyi thi?" Alam asked keeping his tea aside to look at her. Her thoughts broke when her father's voice reached her ears

"Baba mein jaldi soyi th-"

"2 baje Instagram reels dekh rahi thi!" Amna immediately cut her off. Shehnaaz glared at her snitch sister knowing now she's going to get lecture on this. Amna just gave her side eye with small smirk and walked along with maham out of their apartment leaving Shehnaaz behind to for lecture of their baba on side effect of sleeping late

Shehnaaz rush out of apartment after lecture and catch up with them in front of lift. She tugged on amna's braid making her wince out of pain

"Zyda chugli nahi kar rahi aj kal tum meri?" She slapped her on head as well. Amna turned to look at maham with complain in her eyes but maham wasn't interested in their everyday drama

"Ap bhi krti ho" Amna said. Shehnaaz mimicked her words and look ahead when lift door was opened and they step inside. They live on 4th floor

When they reached on ground floor of apartment, maham gave keys to man at reception who went to get her car out of basement. She's fine driver but still can't park nor take car out of basement without hitting someone else. Shehnaaz sweetly smiled at random lady who gave her smile while waiting for lift. Yup she smiles at random people because she thinks it's rude to just stare

Their life is very much normal like every middle class family, they do get financial problems sometimes but Shehnaaz is very much happy with their simple lifestyle
