Shehnaaz looked at maham with annoyed expressions who was barging with sabzi wala for 10 rupees, here she was dying because of heavy shoppers maham has made her carry

"Baji 50 mein lelo na!" Shehnaaz winced at her, direct sunlight was making it worst for her to stand there. She hates summers

"40 mein de warna mein kahen aur dekh lugi" Maham threatened him and turned to glare at Shehnaaz "Apna muh band rakho!" She pushed another shopper of tomatoes in her hands

Shehnaaz rolled her eyes turn to look at amna who was standing by with empty hands and smugness on her face. She hates her sisters more than summer especially this one. They picked her up from university as they have to buy some stuff together from gulf market but maham stoped by sabzi wala and it's been half hour now maham still seems busy

Her phone's ringing inside purse caught Shehnaaz'z attention, since her hands were busy she asked amna to take out her phone and look who's calling her, amna have her eye roll and unzip purse to take out her phone from it

"Who's SG?" Amna frown at weird contact saved in her phone. Shehnaaz's eyes got wider and she immediately kept shoppers down to snatch phone from amna's hands

"Non of your business" She glared at her sister. Maham for second glanced at them before going back to get discount on her grocery

     She walked little away from them to attend call, it's been 5 days since their last meeting and she has known enough about him to never ignored his call. She did this mistake other day and what he did next make her heart stop beating. He sent her photo of their flat's gate and told her if she didn't pick up within seconds he's coming in and meeting her father. Now she takes her phone even if she's showering just in case he calls. He needs to take therapy classes for his anger issues because they are worst

       Other than that he hasn't given her any shock or made her cry and she's wondering how long until he again do something like threaten her and makes her regret existence of herself. She does get annoyed by his calls even tho he rarely calls her, she's not very much habitual of receiving phone calls that also from someone like him. His phone calls scare her and give her anxiety

"Asalam-o-alaikum" She answered call with greetings. Sidharth can hear her voice whole day for forever

"Walaikumsalam" He greeted back

     He was currently driving, he was travelling from Sewan to Karachi which is 5 hour's distance, with Zain and Aryaan. He had to meet Zainn's father for upcoming elections. Zainn's father is member of his party and is competing from Sewan while Zain himself was competing from Larkana city

      He hasn't been able to talk to Shehnaaz much these days because of his election. He knows she must be happy that he's less bothering her and just at thought of that he decided to call her and ruin her happiness, he knows she get annoyed at him whenever he calls or text but is too afraid to tell him that and he loves doing that to her

     Zain who was sitting in passenger seat with closed eyes, opened them at softness of his tone. Whom is he talking to? Zain wondered and turn his head to look at Aryaan in backseat who was playing video games in phone, but Aryaan also noticed and exchanged look with Zain. What the hell are they missing?"

"Kesi ho?" His eyes were focused on road "Are you somewhere outside?" He asked after hearing cars voice from other side of call

     Zain took off his sunglasses with narrow eyes. Kesi ho? So he's talking to some girl, this interested him even more. Sidharth don't speak on call with women he never do and if he's doing it's something new for people around him

"Jee mein market ayi hu maham aur amna ke sath" She told him "Baad mein call karlu?" She asked sweetly. His grip on steering wheel got tighter at her tone, she has no idea what she's doing to him

"Don't call me Shehnaaz just meet me in 2 hour" He demanded

"Jee-what?!" She wide her eyes

"You heard me" He simply spoke

     Meet him in hour?! Maham will kill her if she saw Sidharth with her. How is she going to even convince her to let her leave when she herself planned this shopping at first place and on top of that amna is really suspicious of her actions these days already she will caught onto it

"Mein kese ayo gi? Maham Mujhe nahi ane dege please hum kal milte hain" She pleads

"2 hour" He repeated stressing on words

"Pleas-"

"1 hour" He said. Zain looked at him with amusement smirk, now this is Sidharth gabol he knows who always finds way to get what he wants within seconds

"Maham wo-"

"30 min-"

"Theek hai! One hour fine!" She agreed before he reduce more time

"Good Shehnaaz "

   She can can tell he has that smug look over his face after again getting her agreed to his words. Such a blackmailer he is

     Great now she has to think about what lie she's gonna make to see him. She has never spoken this much lies as she has done until she met him, whatever they have going on this feels so forbidden and wrong to her, she doesn't know for how long she's gonna do it

    Sidharth kept his phone down after hanging up and glanced at Zain in passenger seat who has narrowed his eyebrow

"Kon thi yeh? Any model or kis businessman ki beti thi?" Zain asked, Aryaan took off his headphone and kept phone down to focus on conversation he's also curious about his brother's love life

"Non" Sidharth answered him

"Non?" Zain frown

     Sidharth never has seriously dated any woman or made his relationship with anyone official enough to call them, phone calls are next step in relationships that's what Sidharth tells them, Sidharth does had fare amount of women in his life but with non of them he was serious enough and they knew but still stayed because he's Gabol

"BDS student hai Zauddin mein her father is senior lawyer in high court" Sidharth spoke. He doesn't like keeping secrets from both of them, especially Zain because he's childhood friend of Sidharth who knows every single thing about him and he trust both of them with Shehnaaz

"Dental student kyunn!" Zain winced, he has history with one of dental student in same university who also happens to be his cousin

"Are we adjusting medical seat in our university for her?" Aryaan asked, he has been asked to pressure university board members and asked them for additional one seat. Sidharth hummed keeping his eyes on road

"Itna serious hai?" Zain asked because sidharth doesn't like medical student and if he's adjusting seat for some girl by going this far it must be serious from both side

"Haan" Sidharth said

"Toh hum kab mil rahe hain bhabhi se?" Aryaan asked with innocent grin

     Shehnaaz and amna helped maham in stuffing groceries in trunk of car. She hasn't asked for her to leave yet because she's seriously scared of maham and her reactions, her father is easy when it comes to asking permission but maham interrogates a lot enough to make other person nervous

"Baji" Shehnaaz called as soon as she set down in car slamming door behind. Maham hummed adjusting car's mirror

"Mujhe ap British library pe chor doge mujhe kuch zarori kaam hai wahan?" She nervously asked. Her voice was wavering

"Konsa kaam hai wahan? Aur shopping per toh tumhe jana tha tumhare kapre dene the tailor ko!" Maham looked at her with firm eyes. Amna has idea what kaam she has

"Haan koi kaam baji! Tailor ko ap he de ayo kapre apni size pe same he toh phente hain hum aur design same wala hai no dekhaya tha apko mene please ap krdo " Shehnaaz requested with her doe eyes

"Mein koi kaam nahi kar rahi tum logo ko wahan pe chor kar mujhe bank jana tha car ki instalment jama karwani hai" Maham spoke

"Ba-"

"Mein tailor ko dekr ajau gi" Amna said

     Both of them looked at amna as if she said something very wrong, they are surprised that amna out of all people has volunteered to do some work. Sun must have risen from west today. Amna looks so cool about it not caring about what reactions they have

"Tum jao gi?" Sana was surprised

"Haan ya nahi?" Amna asked, she was starting to get annoyed because of them "Apko zarori kaam haina library mein toh ap jao I'll do your work" She added looking ahead, Maham looked at Sana

"Pick kab karu?" She asked

"Mein khud ayu gi" Sana reply sinking back in seat. She was praying for her to not ask questions further since it's starting to make her more anxious and difficult to answer. Luckily maham didn't say anything and started car's engine

"7 se phely ajana tumhe pata hai is area ka" Maham spoke out of concern "They should relocate library now" She added with sigh

   "Come outside" Sidharth spoke before hanging up call and glanced at Aryaan in backseat

"Agy baitho tum" He told him since Zain got some urgent bank calls at last moment about suspicious transaction from his accounts, boy was disappointed that he's not getting chance to meet girl his best friend is whipped for

     Aryaan got off to sit in passenger seat, he knows his brother won't risk making any girl sit with him in passenger seat for security purposes, especially not one he's lately obsessed with. Sidharth's car have tinted windows but still he's taking no risk when she's with him, if her name got attached with him without Nikkah her reputation will be done. People won't think before pointing fingers at him, she still  will be hearing if they get married

      Aryaan looked outside window to see girl in white getting out of British Library's check-post. She's hella beautiful with hair open and innocent-soft features, but never in million he thought she will be type his brother will go for. She is typical Pakistani girl with dupatta around her neck and shalwar kameez. He thought his brother is more into DHA (area of Karachi) girls, who are dressed in luxurious clothes and highly maintained with attitude like they are only beautiful girl left in world wherever she looks very humble about her incomparable beauty she has

"MashaAllah MashaAllah toh yeh meri hone wali bhabhi jaan hain?" Aryaan glanced at his brother with teasing smile

"Without any doubt" Sidharth replied with his eyes on her. There was no doubt he wants to have Nikkah with her but is holding back just for sake. She's too sensitive for that shock yet

"Asalam-o-alaikum" Her voice is gentle and soft when she got inside backseat of car. They both murmured greetings

      Sidharth was more focused on man standing by side of road, probably judging Shehnaaz for sitting in car like this at place like this. This area of Clifton is famous for prostitution after 10 pm and by looking at man Sidharth can tell what's he thinking. His grip around steering wheel got tighter as he clenched fist and poke his inner cheek

"Mein Aryaan gabol younger brother" Aryaan turned to look at her with sweet smile

"Shehnaaz Alam" She gave him small smile, she recognised him from incident that happened days ago just by his curly hair. Aryaan reached out for handshake

    Shehnaaz looked at Sidharth who nodded which made her shake hand with him. This amused Aryaan, he has never met girl this submissive and innocent. Girls around him are much independent who needs permission from no one to do anything, they wear whatever they want and do whatever please them. She isn't one of them

"Dubara is area mein nahi ana" Sidharth spoke as he started car's engine

"Lekin Library toh yahan hai" Her lips started to curve in small pout as she looked at his figure from behind, Aryaan was in awe at their amazing chemistry. They looks so good together and match perfectly

"University mein hoti haina usme jaya karo zarorat nahi yahan ane ki" He looked at her through front mirror their eyes met for seconds and her heart beat rise up so she looked away to see outside window

"Theek hai" She mumbled. He isn't her boyfriend but second Abba

     Shehnaaz glanced at him again to see him looking at road, she took chance to wander around his veiny arm those's sleeves were rolled up and hand that was griping gear other one steering wheel. He's charmingly hot. He would pass as actor easily, she wonder if he knows how attractive he is, obviously knows there was noway no one told him. She's sure some girls has

"Toh kesi chal rahi hai apki university?" Aryaan asked breaking her thoughts and she looked away from Sidharth to look at him

"Achi chal rahi hai" She replied and they both got engaged in conversation

    Sidharth glanced at her while resting his elbow against window. She's wearing lab coat means she has came from university direct. He hates white coats but it suits her perfectly like it's made for her, she will make great doctor. He has seen her entry test and came to know that her score wasn't problem but seat she deserved was given to some spoiled child of rich father. Shehnaaz actually was qualified for MBBS on merit

     She really has worked hard for this. He wouldn't have care much if someone else was at her place but it's her and he's going to get her medical seat
