CHAPTER 9

FUN IN MELLBOURNE

“Good morning”…..Next morning Maryam got up a bit earlier than the rest,  made breakfast herself and gave a day off to the cook…. She made Aaloo k prathey for Aqeel, pancakes for Nabi as she loved them and prepare Mehru’s oaks as well… put cattle on the brim and put some water to get hot for the coffee and tea…. She looked at the clock still 10 min were left for Aqeeel to come down so she went to the front lawn to have some fresh air…..She felt the breeze touching her face and she closed her eyes, she felt so good it was serene around her, she started looking the flowers the Gardner was already busy in watering them, he smiled to see her up and gave her a cute pink rose…”thank you” Maryam took that and smiled… it was the perfect morning after a long time…….

“Wow! Just wow Maryam you made all this? Dare I must say you are going to be the best wife;)” mehru after looking at the table complimented her and suddenly Maryam looked sad

“Hey! M sorry I didn’t….”mehru felt that and apologized

“C’mon, that’s okay yarr”Maryam smiled at once and sat on the chair with her

“Maryam beta tum ne mujhe Asiya ki yad dila di…. She used to make such good aaloo k prathey” Aqeel smiled and complimented her… they got busy in gorging down their food when the bell rang…… it rang again and then once again

“Where is everyone……?” Aqeel asked about the servants as nobody opened the door

“chachoo you finish your food mein dekhti Hoon” Maryam smiled and went to open the door

“Hey! Hussain… good to see you, come in” it was Hussain Maryam said and got aside

“Hello uncle…. hi every1” Hussain greeted them and mehru thought itni Subha Subha ye yaha kia ker raha hea

“Hello beta bare ache time pe aae ho… come on join us” Aqeel said and Hussain smiled

“umm  no uncle thanks a lot m already done uncle actually I.. We need your permission, we are going to Melbourne today for our iDeewane shoot…. It's just a 2 day stay so we thought, to take them as well……. umm just if you don’t have an issue” Hussian said like an obedient son… or son-in-law :-p and mehru who didn’t know bout that jumped excitedly

“Yeah! It’s a good idea n surely I won't have any issue…..maryam bhi ghoom phr le gi….or ye dono bhi mera damagh kha rai then for outing so now m saved J” Aqeel smiled and raised his hands like he won the war or something

“Thanks uncle…..And yeah its mainly about Maryam” Hussain smiled at her and mehru winked and whistled Maryam rolled her eyes at her to stay shutupp

“So girls we will pick you up at 5 in evening… wats say?”Hussain asked

“umm no Hussain we will come to your place if that’s okay with you?....I want to meet aunty” Maryam said and Hussain smiled” sure that will be great…. So see you then” Hussain said and after saying goodbye, he left

After breakfast aqeel went to the Hospital and the trio (Maryam, mehru and nabi) started deciding about the trip

“Hey, it’s a 2 day trip girls we need shopping………….” Mehru said excitedly

“Yeah! I don’t have anything new left” nabi made a puppy face

“Maryam don’t you dare say… NO” mehru looked at her and said

“Ha-ha nai nai lets go… I need to shop as well” Maryam said with a smile and mehru acted like she was about to faint Maryam threw a pillow at her and they got ready for shopping…. Mehru a shopoholich bought so much that she couldn't even carry all the shopping bags they put them in their Volvo and again started shopping…. Girls and their shopping are a never ending thing. Maryam also bought her new clothes mehru and nabi forced her to buy some Ts and jeans but she refused

“C’mooooon Maryam you will look stunning in them” mehru gave her a T and a pair of jeans for trying but Maryam didn’t feel like doing it

“No mehru I don’t wear such short T shirts” Maryam refused

“ch  tu try to ker naaa, na acha laga to chor dena…..Please!” mehru was so demanding…. Ufff and she has become such a good friend that Maryam simply accepts whatever she used to say. Maryam took it and went to try… and when she came out reluctantly Mehru whistled a loud

“Wow Maryam you are looking HOTTTTT” nabiha winked at her

“See…..That's why I wasn’t trying… m not going to wear it at any cost now” Maryam went inside again and mehru glared at nabi as if going to eat her up…..

Maryam came out and they tried few more finally she chose few shirts with jeans they weren't that short for her relief but still she was complaining back home

“mehru that red one was too short naa???”

“I will kill you now Maryam that came to mid thigh… C’mon yarrrr” mehru while driving eyed her and she shuttupp instantly

It was 4 30 in the evening and the trio was at Shehry’s place…. Saba simply felt great to have Maryam back, she also felt really good….

“Maryam you looked so good so much better, dear… am so happy for you finally came back to life huh?” Saba smiled at her

“Yeah aunty and its because of you as well”, Maryam smiled at her and they hugged

“Hey! Aunty ummm this is for you” Maryam handed her a pretty blue color handbag she bought something for her when she went for shopping… Saba took it and opened

It was a beautiful embroidered stole shawl it was peach and red…

“Wow beta this is beautiful, thank you so much” Saba felt really happy

“What is beautiful????????” Just then Hussain and the rest of the boys entered and he asked Saba showed them the Stoll and they all praised it

“It's really pretty aunty u will look amazing in it… like its going with your complexion as well” waqas came closer and said with a wink at her he was always so cheesy and boyish among all…..

“Yah yah you never stop this okay…..Flirt with me and I’ll let my man know bout this… samjheyyyy?” Saba said like a real teenager and they all laughed

“Mum you better find someone for waqas now it's already getting late…..His flirts would never end otherwise” Shehry said and waqas threw a cushion towards him, which he caught aptly the rest clapped as if he had caught tendulker’s hit

“What do you mean by getting late shehry????kaheen bal wal safaid to nai ho rae waqas k?” mehru asked, trying to be serious and they laughed

“Yeah, very funny” waqas rolled his eyes

“Hey ppl we better get moving now its 5 30 already” atif looked at his watch and said they all had already put the things in their car, it was a 4WD they took it from Hamza another friend of Dhoombros. Maryam and the girls bade goodbye to Saba and there they left…..Way to Melbourne.

Melbourne was still 200km away Shehry was firmly on the driving seat with him Waqas was seated, at the back Hussain, Maryam and Maehru were there while Atif and Nabiha sat in the last row…. The vehicle was thumping with music Waqas was making idiotic videos Shehry was cracking his all time favorite jokes, and the rest was simply rolling in the car with laughters…… Maryam was feeling really good finally she felt that yesterday was just a nightmare and life is welcoming her once again and she was all ready to embrace it.

“So Maryam! Tell us how you are feeling right now sitting with the WORLD famous Dhoombros in the same car… going to WORLD’S most beautiful place…. Melbourne?” Waqas turned the camera and asked like a typical interviewer and she blushed

“ Well am feeling very good… excited and I think I have never enjoyed this much before..Thanks to the Dhoombros I must say” Maryam smiled and said

“I think Maryam you should develop a habit of saying THANKS a bit less…. Cut it down” Shehry commented while looking at her in the back mirror and she smiled again

“Yeah! But I think thanksgiving is good” Maryam replied

“Hmm right, but not between friends” Shehry smirked

“Hey you two! I think you are forgetting the fact that WE are also present in this car…. Stop being chummy chummy okay?......” Hussain kicked the back of Shehry’s seat and Maryam this time blushed hard. To avoid any more embarrassment Shehry turned on the stereo and they started lisping and singing together… sometimes even they don’t know the lyrics, but still the lisping never stopped Waqas was making terribly weird faces and they were literally dancing…..

“Hey bro! You should rest now you have been driving for like mad 4 hours…..And we don’t want to die any time soon so stop there” Waqas said to Shehry and he smiled, finding a wide corner he parked his 4WD.

“Am driving” Hussain said and opened the door and the rest laughed

“V funny are you even 18 kid?” Shehry poked him in the stomach

“Come-on, I drive really well… don’t underestimate me guys” Hussain rolled his eyes

“I think you should better listen to the elders u know” mehru said and winked at him when Hussain threw his headrest to her

“Shut up…..Oh come-on Shehry I can and you know this… come on come on the back now it's my turn” Hussain said and got out of the car that was the moment when Maryam felt a bit uncomfortable… he was coming on her side and she was like….”ye yahan bethe ga?”

Hussain sat in the front seat with Waqas when suddenly he nudged his sleeve and said

“Nice idea bro” Waqas and Hussain winked at each other while Shehry opened the door and carefully sat inside, Hussain started the car and put it back on the road.

“I think we should recite kalma e shahadat now” atif poked his head in front and said aloud they all laughed

There was an awkward silence in the car Maryam and Shehry was sitting really close to each other their shoulders were touching and thanks to Hussain he was making things worse with his zig zag driving

“Hussain m going to kill you okay” Shehry felt her discomfort and kicked his seat

“WA… what man??? M driving good, okay… isn’t it waqas?” Hussain innocently said and Waqas nodded

“Yeah, I know what u 2 are up to behave your selves” Shehry eyed Waqas and he suppressed his laughter

“umm can't we stay somewhere for a while?” Maryam asked

“ub to ye sawari Melbourne ja ker he ruke gi…..Madam ji” Hussain said like an expert driver

“umm, you need something… we can stop” Shehry looked at her and asked

“No, nothing m fine” Maryam felt his gaze on her and looked away

Soon there journey ended and there were in the city the most beautiful of all…. Maryam was mesmerized to see such serene landscape. They went to their location as it was already dark, so they decided to go directly there, Asim and Fariha (lead actress) were also waiting there with the preparation of like half an hour they shot their scenes and then Asim asked them to go to the cottage

“Y a cottage? Why don’t u ppl booked a hotel?” Atif asked

“Well… consider it as a treat from me;)” Asim said and winked at them all they didn’t get that

“Treat?.....Of?” Waqas asked this time

“We finally got permission from the civil court to shoot our scene over there guys” Asim said excitedly and the boys literally jumped

“What?...That's brilliant yarrr” Shehry gave a high five to him

“How did you just do that” Waqas asked

“Call that Asim’s charm or whatever they couldn’t just refuse u know” Asim boosted and then laughed again

“Well have some rest and tomorrow will tell you ppl the details inn shaa Allah… and yup great work guys” Asim said and waved them goodbye

“Hey! I’ll be leaving too its really late” fariha said and got up

“What? You are not coming with us?” waqas asked her as she picked up her belongings

“Nope dad is here with me and he wants some company guys ;) so have fun and remember me” she said and winked at Hussain, he smiled cutely while the rest hooted on his cute gesture

“Nice meeting you guys, hope to see you all around” fariha shook hand with Maryam, mehru and Nabiha and left

It was 9 in the night when they went to the cottage it was at the far end of the beach almost touching the waves breeze was cold but pleasant….. They reached there got freshen up and ordered food… they were famished.

SHEHRY’S END

“Hey! What the hell you were doing in the car han?” Shehry grabbed Hussain from his neck and asked the boys were now alone in the restroom

“oye leave my neck…ooow! What the hell I have done now?” Hussain acted as if he doesn't know anything

“You don’t try to act okay? And you too…. sab se bare ho or sub se Kaminey bhi” Shehry looked at waqas who was smiling madly

“C’mon Shehry… mere bhaaaai… you need to grow up okay” Waqas came near him and put his one arm around his neck

“Yeah, if grown ups are like you… then thank you very much” Shehry said sarcastically and Atif chocked out

“No, seriously listen…. Why-the-hell-are-you-holding-up-things?”Waqas ignored Atif and asked Shehry who didn’t understand his question and gave hi a blank expression

“It's all here…. On your face man, you like her admit it” Waqas said and Shehry shrugged his hand off

“He is right Shehry… you can't hide it” Hussain said

“I-am-not-hiding anything” Shehry emphasized his words and headed for a bathroom when suddenly Waqas jumped and went inside too

“wh…what the effff?..You want to come with me?....okay aa jao..aao aaoo tum dono bhi aa jao what r u waiting for? An invitation?” Shehry was seriously freaked out they all laughed but then they actually went inside…..All of them in the same cubicle….:D

“chal ker…….” Hussain locked the door and folded his arms around his torso

“What the hell is this man……..kia Karoon?” shehry put his hands on his waist felt irritated

“Tattaiiiii… or kia Kerne Aya tha tu bhaai? Yahan Beth k biryaani to urrani nai tu ne” Atif said and three of them got into a fit of laughter while Shehry was dead serious

“Dekha?...Dekha! Doing tattiii in front of us is difficult bro, but confessing in front of your best buddies is quite easier than this…..” Waqas said very seriously

“Okay, fine………. Yeah, I like her……. Fine, now what?” Shehry said in a loud voice

“Yeah…. That's my man..Love you” waqas said excitedly

“Now… go and tell this to her as well” Hussain simply said and smiled at him

“Do u ppl can't see? She is not that kind of a girl who is running mad after the Dhoombros, she is married girl doesn't matter, she is just 20 but she is not like the rest of the fangirls we have ever met guys…. If I am going to confess in front of her ye Jo thori si Khushi aai hea in her life wo bhi Chali Jae gi and I seriously don’t want this…..” Shehry said, looking straight into their faces and they all got silent at once this is what they never thought of…

“Man…. Are you that serious about her? Like… seriously bro, you look different right now” Hussain after a couple of seconds said in amazement

“You know what…. I love you” Waqas hugged him tightly and shehry felt like crying on his shoulder…..

“N listen to me…. No matter, she is married or what she is MY BHAABII..Do-you-understand-this” Hussain said like a father instructing his little son

“Hey!....OUR BHABI……… mind it” Atif showed him a punch and they all laughed this time Shehry as well.

“I think u ppl shud leave now coz I cant control it anymore”Shehry said very seriously

“control what?” hussain asked

“tatttiii or kia” Shehry said making a face and they laughed hard and left him alone finally

MARYAM’S END

“oye hoye….kia ho raha hea janab?” Maryam was walking on the beach when Mehru came running towards her

“Enjoying the view” Maryam smiled at her

“Achaaw? I thought kisi k khayalon mein gum hen ap” she poked her up

“mehru please aesa kuch nai hea…or koi hea he nai jis ka khayal aaye ga” Maryam said

“Achaw? Jhoooooti or maybe andhiiiiiiiiiiii” mehru said making a big face

“What do you mean” Maryam asked in a confused way

“I was talking about our handsome most charming driver of today’s ride” mehru said and winked at her

“Yeah! Really, he is most charming, but us k khayalon mein to tum rehti ho na her waqt” Maryam beamed at her and then she realized what did she mean… Hussain also drove the car today. Mehru laughed hard

“very funny Maryam so batein banana aa gai hen janab ko…..” mehru said and she smiled

“Come-on, tell me you really like him na?” Maryam asked her

“Yeah, I do… I really like him butt nothing more than a fangirl yarr… I mean I like him because he is smart, charming, sexy butt there is no love kind of a feeling there, we study together kind of know each other in a good way but I like him as a friend only no serious business okay” mehru said seriously

“Ahaaan! So there is a mature side of Mehru as well han?” Maryam smiled broadly at her and she beamed back

“Okay, but you don’t deviate me from the topic okay…… tell me about your secret behind this cute smile” mehru poked her

“No secret no smile” Maryam said simply

“uffff ooo…keh to aese rai ho jese life khatam ho gai hea tumhari” mehru said angrily. “And don’t tell me you didn’t notice him at all”

“Who?....Who are you talking about” Maryam knew the answer, but acted otherwise

“M talking about shehry Maryam…..C’mon, stop acting oblivious..He likes you girl, and please accept the fact that you like him too” Mehru said and suddenly Maryam stopped in her tracks

“Are you crazy? There is no such thing between us mehru please don’t talk like this ever again” Maryam felt hurt

“M sorry if I hurt you dear…..But closing the eyes doesn't make any difference Maryam you are just 20… for the love of God, please understand this your life hasn’t stopped yet, this life is a gift and even Allah won't be pleased with you if you won't take care of it” Mehru put her hand on her shoulder

“mehru I am trying…. N seriously, believe me am happy now. M happy to find aqeel chachoo to find you, nabiha I was never happier like I m in, past 10 years…. I don’t want more” Maryam replied, looking at the waves.

“Okay, I am happy that you are happy” mehru winked at her and they both hugged each other

“But you have to promise me iff… if you will feel someday anything about Shehry or any other man you will tell me” mehru said firmly

“You won't stop that han?” Maryam laughed at her.” Okay, I promise, ” she said with a smile.

That night Maryam dreamt about someone, someone holding an umbrella for her in the mid of a road when it was raining heavily. He was standing very close to her, his eyes all soft and showing care, Maryam was feeling safe under that umbrella no matter how bad it was raining…… then again, she dreamt that she was standing in a cemetery having flowers in her hands but those flowers were dry, she was crying and nobody was there to console her up….. Maryam woke up in Fajr prayed an extra rakat as well. Mehru’s talk was constantly there on her mind so she raised her hands for dua

“ya Allah! I don’t want to be ungreatfull I know this life is a gift but I have had enough, I have so much that now I don’t have any power to bear anymore, I don’t know what shehryaar feels I even don’t know about my own feelings, but please make sure he doesn't fall for me at all….I am a bad luck I know this I don’t want to make his life worse. Ya Allah! Protect me and guard me because there is no one else who knows me better than You” Ameen!

Maryam folded the prayer mat and went out of her room, mehru and Nabiha were sound asleep so she didn’t bother to wake them up. It was a cozy little cottage having three rooms in total an American kitchen and a beautiful garden facing the beach. The best thing about that was the water waves constantly coming and touching the front yard. She came out the sun was not yet up so she decided to catch the sunrise, but when she came out she was surprised to see Shehry out there with his DSLR hanging on his neck, his back was towards her, he wore his all the time favorite white shirt which was a Dhoombros symbol and light blue jeans he wasn’t wearing sleepers neither did Maryam…. He was looking at the horizon above and was really lost into the extraordinary sight he couldn’t realize she was standing at the back checking him out ;) suddenly Maryam felt awkward why the hell she was drooling on him she mentally slapped herself and was about to leave when he said…

“It's a beautiful morning” Shehry didn’t even turn around nor did Maryam make any noise how the hell he knew somebody was there… still he didn’t turn may be he was talking to himself Maryam thought stupidly

“Isn’t it?” Now that was seriously enough, he wasn’t talking to himself Maryam slowly went there near him and stood there after a split of a second she looked at him, his eyes were shut, face all bright like a sun, he was wearing his cutest smile, his hair was tossed not like they always were in a gell dipped fashion… his smile made her remember dolly aunty and at once she laughed lightly on which he opened his eyes and looked at her amused

“Good morning” Maryam hide her smile

“Good morning…..Penny for thoughts?” shehry asked

“Nothing Ur smile reminded me of..Ummm dolly aunty” she said and they both laughed together

“And what about this?” Shehry turned a bit towards her and showed her his shirt and Maryam started laughing even more

“Oh my God! Allah Meri tuba…. Forgive me God!” Suddenly a girl jumped inside of him and Maryam couldn’t stop laughing, Shehry stopped and simply stared at her, she was laughing, she looked about her age when she was doing that even younger…. She looked amazing Shehry thought…. Maryam felt his constant gaze upon her and she stopped.

“You know…. You look great when you laugh, don’t hold back things, like when you smile when you laugh…. Its good smile more worry less… kia pata Kal ho na ho” Shehry explained and then said like Shahrukh Khan and Maryam smiled  at him

“It's so beautiful…” Maryam tried to change the topic, so she looked at the horizon and said

“Yeah beautiful” Maryam felt he wasn’t complimenting the view he was looking at her face, she got all blushed and he looked away

“You people are good actors… did well yesterday” Maryam said

“Hahaha yeah, thank you, hum fankaar log hen janab fankaar…. You haven't seen anything yet you will be amazed” Shehry boosted and Maryam smiled at his carefree boyish nature

“I was never that confident to act….i remember once in a school function I tripped over on the stage…that was so embarrassing” they started walking on the shore Maryam tried to remember and they both laughed

“so what was ur charater actually?” shehry asked by the way

“Ummm… I had to act marry as in the marry had a little lamb” Maryam said and looked sideways to Shehry who stopped in his tracks and was looking at her all shocked

“Don’t give me this look okay” Maryam felt so embarrassed

“Don’t tell me you were that naïve” Shehry said and started walking again his expressions were hilarious

“Well, that’s me…” Maryam smiled sheepishly

“And you were the girl who later topped the whole college and became a gold medalist…. Wow” Shehry actually clapped and Maryam smiled

“Yeah! I was more a geek a nerd you know” Maryam made a cute face

“Hahahaha yeah, that wasn’t me at all…. Never, I was always a drama creator in school, at home, at work everywhere can't sit still, can't even act like a geek” Shehry raised his hands in surrender and they laughed again

“And how did it all start? The Dhoombros thing and all?” Maryam asked, she felt it was so easy to open up, she was certainly holding up things

“Ummm yarr long story Waqas always wanted to be a director you know… the best around globe kind of and then we came here to US even we used to make videos so one day Waqas uploaded on YouTube and it got clicked people liked that a lot, even we were surprised… so that's that started we actually started taking things more seriously then we started doing the Dj stuff as well…..So here the Dhoombros came to reality” Shehry told her all and she was constantly looking at his face admiring him…

“What happened?” Shehry noticed her gaze and asked

“Nothing…. You people are such great friends I envy you all” Maryam said, looking down at the sand..Sherry stopped once again she turned and looked at him questiongly

“Hey! You are now a part of this all okay… you don’t have to envy a thing that is already Urs, WE all are your friends you understand? Don’t ever feel like you are alone or something… promise me you wont…”Shehry said and took out his hand towards Maryam she looked at him and his hand confusingly

“Come-on, we are friends so at least we should shake hands otherwise normally friends hug;)”shehry said mischievously and Maryam with a smile hold his hand… they shook hands and Shehry was like never going to leave her hand

“Shehryaar you can let it go now” Maryam said and Shehry suddenly let her hand go they both smiled awkwardly and started walking back towards the cottage.

They had wonderful breakfast together where Hussain kept on complaining about’

“itni subha subha kon uthata hea yarrr…..”

They were laughing at his childish expressions. Maryam was feeling better and better with each passing day and she thought may be all this mishap was destined to bring her here to her friends these awesome bunch of friends…. She was not going to be alone now never ever and she was sure of this fact. She smiled at her thought

“So guys, what's the plan? Let's go shopping” Nabiha while sipping her tea said

“You girls can never satisfy yourselves with shopping… like what is wrong with your type all the time just shopping or gossiping..Try doing something big girls..C’mooon”Waqas said like a real elder brother, which he was really not

“At least we have harmless hobbies not like UR TYPE you know fighting, putting your selves in danger and the most of them sleeping” Mehru replied and at the end she looked at Hussain who was still sleeping

“To dhabba hea kala dhabba” Shehry threw a cushion at him and they laughed at his accent

“Come on don’t start a debate now lets go out somewhere” Maryam put her mug back and sighed…

“Okay, what bout movie? Shopping? Then lunch?” Atif proposed

“ye bacha buht aage jane wala hea….shaabash! He knows how to make eveeeery1 happy” Waqas patted Atif’s back and he smiled ear to ear. They all went to get ready for outing Maryam wore that gray T-shirt with black and red embellishment on that and a black denim perfectly hugging her, tied her hair into long ponytail and applied a light colossal with a plum gloss. She looked herself in the mirror, she was looking different… pretty her cheeks turn red she looked around Mehru and Nabiha were gawking at her like bad boys……..

“Wow… just wow Maryam where were u till now girl? You are looking amazingly beautiful not to forget hotttttttttt” Mehru whistled at her

“Shut up Mehru and please m NOT looking hot… I hate when anyone say this, I mea ho…… Maryam was just in between her argument when they heard a knock it was Hussain and Atif they called them out as they were ready to leave… the trio picked their clutches and went out

“You are looking cute Maryam” Hussain complimented her and she smiled a thanks

“Oh! Yeah, yeah you are looking hot as well and so u r Nabi” Hussain at once added when he saw mehru’s glare and they all laughed

They came out Maryam on her way grabbed a stole and wrapped it along her neck, she was feeling award without that… the boys were waiting near their 4WD when they reached there Waqas whistled a loud while Shehry got his gazed fixed on Maryam, she also felt the heat and tried her best not to look at him despite the fact that he was looking too good to be told.

“You girls take an eternity in getting ready, but honestly man its worth it……” Waqas said in the full flirting way and the trio blushed it was for the first time for Mehru I guess she was not a blushing type at all

“You all are looking not too bad Urselves” mehru raised her shoulders and said carelessly Hussain made a puppy face while other winced together it was not a fair compliment at all

“Hey, C’mon accept that we are looking hotter then you people…..At least give a fair compliment dude” Shehry looked at Mehru and said Maryam looked at him awkwardly when he used the word hot

“Uh? What happened? Did I say something wrong?” Shehry noticed her expressions they were now sitting in the car and this time Waqas was holding the steering and Nabiha was sitting with him while Shehry, MAryam and Mehru sat in the mid row and Atif and Hussain took the last seats

“Hahaha, no not at all, you didn’t say anything wrong its just that our little princess hates being called as HOTTTTT” Mehru replied and Maryam eyed her terribly

“Hey, why Maryam? After all, it’s a compliment darling” Waqas looked at her in the mirror

“I just don’t understand why people call themselves hot? I mean tea can be hot, but how can a human be hot” Maryam said innocently and expect Shehry everyone burst into laughter while Shehry was looking at her face dumbstruck wide eyes

“Don’t tell me you are serious dude, you got to be kidding” Hussain poked his head in front and said in mock horror he almost made Maryam jump and she bumped into Shehry who awkwardly apologized though it wasn’t his fault

“Watch out bro!” Shhery gave him killing looks and Hussain winked at him

“A person can be cute, beautiful, honest…..

“Sexy……….. Waqas cut her up and she turned all red again

“Yeah, whatever… but hottt… is so lame guys” Maryam felt irritated

“Nabiha yar turn on the music….” Shehry pokes her and she played the stereo on

You're insecure,

Don't know what for,

One direction came bursting out of the speakers and Waqas started lisping with it…

You're turning heads when you walk through the door,

Don't need make-up,

To cover up,

Being the way that you are is enough,

They were all lisping, singing, dancing on the song the car was thumping with loud music

“Shery…..Mere yarr Agla wala there liye” waqas shouted loud and winked at him, he knew he was talking bout the next verse Shehry wanted to kill him 

Everyone else in the room can see it,

Everyone else but you,

Baby you light up my world like nobody else,

The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,

But when you smile at the ground, it isn't hard to tell,

You don't know,

Oh, oh,

You don't know you're beautiful,

If only you saw what I can see,

You'd understand why I want you so desperately,

Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe,

You don't know,

Oh, oh,

You don't know you're beautiful,

Oh, oh,

That's what makes you beautiful

“It was DDLJ playing in the house because of its massive hit throughout the world for last three decades…. They got gallery tickets and settled down Maryam always loved this movie and for the first time she was in a huge cinema watching it on a giant screen, she was sitting between Hussain and Mehru with them Shehry and Atif was sitting while Waqas and nabi were at the left end…. Hussain was making comments on the scenes making it more enjoyable Maryam could tell he had a huge crush on Shahrukh Khan. Shehry was trying to sneak at her after every now and then.

“ek or DDLJ ki dewaani ek kam tha kiya mujhe samajh nai ata aesa hea kia is shahrukh k bache mein……..I hate him” shehry saw Maryam drooling on Shahrukh and said to himself

The movie ended and they all laughing and smiling, came out of the theater Hussain was repeating Shahrukh’s dialogues and mimicking him when suddenly Waqas grabbed mehru’s wrist, she got all shocked while he smirked at Hussain and he winked, the others just waited for what is happening here While Hussain ran for a distance and when he turned he had Shahrukh’s expression on his face and Waqas was just so like Babu ji…………… Mehru got that and started acting herself, enjoying the scene

“babu ji…mujhe jane dejiye babuji..mein raj k bina nai reh sakti”

Waqas kept silent and tried to Buldge his eyes like Babu ji and looked at Hussain in mock anger

“babu ji please mujhe mere raj ke pass jane dejiye……babu ji mein us se buht piyar kerti hoon…babhu ji please

Hussain was standing there with his eyes full of tears (fake obviously) people slowly started looking at them all they were great actors no doubt… Shehry was making video while Nabi and Maryam were trying to control their laughter Waqas’ expressions were priceless

“ja simran ja…is larke se ziada piyar tujhe koi ker he nai sakta…ja beti ja! Jee le apni Zindagi” with this epic dialogue of Babu ji he left her hand and there she goes…..mehru literally ran towards Hussain, who slowly opened his arms so like Shahrukh. Just in front of him she stopped both looked at each other in a hell awkward way mehru was blushing so was Hussain

“You can put them down now” Mehru said sheepishly and put down his arms, he looked disappointed, but smiled the rest came to them and Shehry grabbed him from his neck as he always do

“Abbey saley! Shahrukh ki aulaad hea kia?”

“rishtey mein to hum us k baap hote hen …naam hea shehenshah” hussain acted like amitabh and they all burst into laughing.

“shoky bakriii”

They did some shopping then and headed to grab lunch… throughout the time Maryam kept on giving doubtful glances to Mehru and Mehru kept on hushing her up.
