Tum bhi ho, main bhi hoon!
Paas aao, to keh doon...
Akhir kiun pal main yun deewana main hogaya!
Tumhe jo mene dekha, tumhe jo mene jana...
Jo hosh thaa, wo to gaya!

Seeing him walking down she prayed shukr in her heart. He was clad in a perfectly ironed white shalwar kameez.
Greeting everyone he moved towards the table and before he could sit a guy wearing a desi attire came forward and pulled a seat for him.

"Sayeen, apko kuch chahiye?" He asked with a smile and azlan had dismissed him with a gesture of his hand.

"Bano, bibi kay liye chair khencho shabash." Mrs shah had ordered and before bano could proceed meher stopped her.

"Main khud karlungi." Smiling she pulled a chair beside him and sat.
All followed suit and she had noticed there were a dozens of servants lined up. They were pulling chairs for everyone, they were serving food to all the guests.
She smiled looking around. Being rich did not mean to not do your own basics yourself. She felt bad seeing all of them standing idol at their duty while they all ate.

For everyone else the breakfast was a feast. It was spent in laughters and gossips but meher couldent digest food properly.

_______

After breakfast everyone dismissed because they had to get ready for the walima event at night. There was lots of things happening in the lawn below. The caterers and event planners were busy setting up the venue.
Watching from her rooms window she knew that all would be grand.
Turning around she flinched seeing him standing some inches away from her.

"Darr gayeen?" He questioned cocking his brow up.

"Nahi, bus yakdam se tum peeche agaye to..."

"Ye lo saqib ki call hai, baat karlo ussay or ainda apni phone on rakhna."
Glaring at her he said in a chilling tone and left after handing her his phone.

"Meherwish..." she was lost when she heard saqibs voice through the speaker.

"Ye, yeah..." she stuttered, her eyes glued to the door he had just left from.

"Missing me? Kuch bologi nahi?" He had asked.

"Did you reach safely?" She asked and he replied talking to her about all his journey and also asking her about her days spent but she was lost, lost away.

After about fifteen minutes she had disconnected the phone and relaxing her nerves she went and snuggled in her bed. She never knew when she had dozed off to sleep.

"Bibi sayeen? Bibi sayeen?" She woke up hearing bano's voice.

"Haan bano, sab khairiat?" Sitting up she asked.

"Ap sari dopeher soti reh gayeen to bari bibi sayeen ne kaha apko jaga doon, kuch khaalen phir parlour waki ayee hai apko tayar karne walima kay liye." Bano explained and very quickly she had started cleaning mehers room and making her bed.

"Ezi kahan hai?" She didnt knew why she had asked.

"Azlan sayeen? Wo to aye the phir kahin chale gaye." Bano told and she looked over at the side table, yes his phone was not there anymore.

"Khana le aau?" Bano asked and she nodded her head as her stomach was now grumbling.

After that she had not seen azlan again. A well known makeup artist was called in and she had done her magic on meherwishs beautiful face.

"You look marvelous!" Maria had complimented coming inside with her three year old son musa.

"Mami, you look gorgeous." The boy cooed fondly and rushed to her. Smiling she had engulfed him in a hug.

"Azlan dekho kaise tumhari dulhan per doray daal raha hai mera beta."
Clearing his throat azlan shah had entered and seeing him maria had teased.

"Aray badmash! Mamoo ki hain ye!" Coming closer he had picked the boy in his arms and tilted him upside down. Mehers heart beat had missed while the boy giggled.

"Wo dukh jayega." She voiced out.

"Ye inka roz ka mamool hai, main nahi darti ab. Dono mamoo bhanja jokers hain." Maria said smiling.

"Chalo hum jatay hain, tum apni mrs ko dil bhar kay dekhlo, ghazab to lag rahi hai."
Winking maria teased and left the room carrying her son.
She left and the room became silent. Extremely silent. She could feel his eyes on her.

Biting on her lower lip meher looked up to meet his thunderous eyes.

"Kiya dekh rahe ho?" She asked and he chuckled coming out of a trance. She did look "ghazab" he had agreed to maria's words.

"Maria ki baton per amal kar raha hoon!" Replying he whistled and dissappeared into the closet.

________________

The walima was grand. Grander than she had thought. Thousand of people were invited with dozens of dishes in menu. The decor and everything else reeked of money.
All she could hear was, Sayeen ! Azlan sayeen, chotay sayeen. And she would look at the man beside her clad in a suit. He was known as the notorious ezi in university and here! Ah! A small smile crept on her lips.

"Itni hansi ki wajah pooch sakta hoo?" His treachorous eyes had caught the sight of her dimples. He couldent help but bend down near her ear and ask.

Her smile vanished but she dared reply.
"In sabko pata hai university kay ezi ho tum,.mr sayeen!"

"Hmm to islye itne daant nikal rahe hain, tum mat batana werna nataij ki zimedar tum khud hogee." He warned in his husky voice holding onto her hand and forgetting the conversation she looked up at him and he was very daringly smiling!
_______

"Why were you getting all touchy with me? Mujhe nahi pasand ye sab! Photographers ko mana nahi karsakte the tum."
Coming into their room she nearly shouted. Towards the end of the walima he had stayed very close to her and for photo purpose held her hands, hugged her, twirled her around and what not.
Anger was building up inside her.

"Calm down meher! I have to break it to you that it was just a facade. I wouldent like getting touchy with you either."
He had replied very calmly unlike her and she felt flushed.

"Aur kash koi mere maa baap ko batata kay ye sab kharch jo unho ne kia, ye sab radi main jayega or uss stupid photographer kay pics to milker jalane hain humne. Useless!"
He had further added and she shut her eyes to calm herself down.

"You cant make me feel guilty about it. You are equally involved." She replied.

"To isi liye madam, ye blame games band karden. Jo apko bardasht karna parega, wo mujhe bhi karna hoga. Now change and sleep on that damn couch" sounding unbothered he walked into the bathroom and sighing she went to remove her heavy dupata and makeup.
Taking off her jewellery she stored it in a drawer and waited for him to come out so she could go and change.

Two weeks had passed faster and smoother than she had thought. They had been attending family dinners together but apart from that azlan shah gardezi was seldom at home. Their sleepimg orders were also moving very smoothly because just five days ago azlan had ordered a huge sofa cum bed and replaced it with the couch. Luckily no one asked questions but yes both of them had gotten comfortable.

She was growing closer to mrs shah and bano as all day long she would be with the two.

"Azlan its been a week already and you both have attended quite much of family dinners, so I guess now is the time to plan a trip of honeymoon. On the dinner table mrs shah suggested and both looked over at eachother.

"Ama jan our finals are approaching and meher already has missed alot of her classes, she cant miss more. We need to start university from tommorow, even my classes have started since yesterday. Honeymoon can wait." He replied smoothly and meher looked at him with thankful eyes.

"When have you started taking uni seriously?" Mr shah gardezi asked.

"Baba sayeen, I might not take uni seriously but meher is a topper, she is extremely serious about her studies and I cant let her waste all her hardwork for some honeymoon."
He replied nonchalantly and she felt happy, extremely happy and thankful to him.

"Wah mera bacha. I am happy you care about her. And it makes me happy to hear that meher." Mr shah said lovingly and patting her head walked away.

"Chalo phir kal se university jao." Mrs shah smiled.

______

"Thanks, that legit meant alot and how do you know about my grades?"
Inside their room she had asked.

"Your grades? I just said that to toss away the honeymoon. Well it worked, you should be grateful! " he said unbothered and left the room. Biting her lowerlip she walked into the closet to get her dress ready for tommorow and also to slip into the pjs set she had bought in today when she went shopping with mrs shah.

She had just taken off her shirt when the door to the closet swept open and azlan entered. His eyes stuck at her retreating back and flawless arms. Good thing was she was wearing a west underneath. Seeing him she panicked and quickly covered herself with shirt she was holding in her hands.

"Go away!" She yelled seeing him rooted in his spot.

"If you would have locked the door then I wouldent be standing here anyways. Guess you left it open intentionally."
Taking predatory steps towards her he murmurred un affected by how stressed she felt.

"Azlan please backoff!"
Unable to decipher what was happening she warned and quickly wore the shirt she had in her hands  but his steps still did not halt. Moving back, her back had crashed with the cupboard.

"You werent even exposing with that full west of yours so dont act as if I have seen you naked and I am here to get my sleeping dress out, so chill girl!"
Hovering above her he stated shamelessly and holding her firmly from her shoulders he moved her to a side. Quickly opening up the cupboard he withdrew his sweats and left.
Shaking her head she wiped the sweat off her face.
And taking a deep breath he stepped into shower. This girl was different, very different. She was naiver than he had thought and how he wished she was not wearing that damned west that moment. He chuckled at his thought and remembering her expressions he let out a laugh! A hearty laugh! Damn she was amusing to tease. He needed to do that often.

__________

"Aise jaogi university beta, ab shadi shuda ho, sabko pata chalna chahiye, jao kapre bhi change karo shabash or halka sa makeup bhi karlo."
Seeing her clad in a simple black kurta with no makeup and jewellery mrs shah had said and smiling she nodded but deep down she wanted to protest. She also had to go to work after uni and...

"Bano bibi ko help karo or haan wo kal jo dress pehna tha wahi pehen lo, i loved it."
Smiling azlan shah dared adding and she looked at him with fuming eyes while mrs shah smiled at her sons love for her "bahu".
"Dayum! That west looked hot on you!" Holding her hand he stopped her in her tracks and getting up smiled and whispered in her ear and she turned red, he was shameless, thank goodness mrs shah was not looking this way.
Pulling away her hand she left not without giving him an ugly stare and he chuckled.

_________

"Mujhse ziada free honay ki zaroorat nahi hai." On the way to university she stated.

"Tumse free hota kon hai? Ama jan ka hukm na hota to sath nahi leke ata. Kaha bhi tha driver le jayega tumhe per nahi ama jan to awaeen mashkook hui jaa rahi theen."
He replied taking a turn hastily. He was a rash driver.

"Main iss baat kay liye nahi keh rahi, tum mujhe tang mat kiya karo." Calculating her words she stated.

"Hmm, kisko karoo?" He seemed unbothered.

"Azlan! Get serious."

"Khul kay btao na, bolo kay agar mujhe change karte dekh hi lia hai to tang mat karo." He said cocking his brow up.

"How shameless can you be?" Turning her face towards the window she stated.

"Beyond your imaginations!" Whisteling he replied. She groaned at his shamelessness. Pullng out a tissue paper she removed her lipstick and lightened her makeup.

"Dont! It looked good on you." Holding onto her moving hand he said.

"Dulhan bana kay bhej dia mujhe university. Its not done!"
She stated.
"And you! Let me be clear, dont touch me!" Pulling her hand away she stated

"Abhi se saas kay gillay, not good meher!" Unbothered he teased.

"Tumhare sath masla kiya hai?" She asked.

"Tum masla ho filhal! Ab khabardar kisi ko university main bataya kay tumhara mujhse nikkah hua hai." He warned.

"Kiun? Darr hai, girlfriends bhaag jayengi?" She challenged.

"Tumhari wajah se, never!" He was quick to reply.

"Kiun main khoobsurat nahi? Ya tumhare level ki nahi?"
Out of no where she asked and he actually looked at her for a while.

"Draoni nahi ho tum, tumse nahi darteen wo or mera charm hi aisa hai k main dus shadian karloo, meri gf's phir bhi nahi chorengi mujhe."

" Achaa! Itna confidence khud per? Dus shadian tumhe karne kisne deni hain?" Laughing at him she opened the door of the car and got down alittle further away from university.

"Ezi" she called.

"Hmm."

"Uni kay bad mene job per jana hai, main khud hi ghar ajaugi." She said and creases formed on his forehead on the mention of a job.

"It is clearly stated on the paper that you are not working!" He replied in rage and she for the first time  felt intimidated by his tone.

"Azlan, I need to do it, its important and I..."

"You wont! My driver will pick you up from here at 3 o clock and we will talk about this at home. Now just go!"
Replying angrily he said and drove the car past her. Sighing she left for her department.
