The next two days were spent  ignoring ghazan. Due to weekend both ghazan and amal were present at home but amal was really ashamed and embarassed over the stunt she had pulled.

"Amal go and call ghazan, he will drop you off to university as the driver is on leave." The slice she was eating fell from her hands listening to mrs aqdus's words.

"Ah, I, its okay, I will tell saira to pick me up." Smiling she replied with visible stutter, ghazan who had just entered the dining room smiled at her innocense. She was trying to avoid him.

"Amal get ready I will drop you off, okay!" Saying sternly he took a seat just opposite hers.

"I will manage." She murmurred.

"What? Say it louder." He said cocking his brow up.

"Fine, let me go and grab my bag." Pouting and stomping her feet on the ground she left the dining room and he smiled.

.....

"Are you trying to avoid me amaloo.?" He asked looking at her .

"Nope." Came her one word reply.

"Oh I thought you were because you know the other day..." leaving an incomplete sentence he smirked.

"Wh, what do you mean, what happened the other day?" Stuttering she looked the other way and he chuckled.

"Nothing at all, just that you got a little lovey dovey with me and thats absolutely fine." Ghazan purposely teased her. He was loving her shy and blushing face. It was a sight to see.

"Ghazi ap, ap na bus chup hojayen.( be quiet) " squinting her eyes at him she said and rushed out of his car as they had reached the university. He stayed looking towards her until she had entered the inside premises.

.....

"Who was that hot guy  who came to your rescue the other day amal? uff the way he looked at you, I was swooning over him." In the break time all the girls of her class were gathered around her when maria out of no where asked about ghazan.

"He is my cousin." She replied.

"Lucky you, very rarely people have such handsome cousins. But I really thought he was your boyfriend or fiance the way he was caring for you or looking at you so lovingly , and not to forget the  way you were clinging onto him. " maria said naughtily and amal swallowed hard.

"No, we are just uh really close. " It was hard for her to speak and she did not know why.

"Dont go this close to guys . They start having desires for you . Hahahha Poor souls. " clapping her hands maria chuckled and everyone followed suit.

Amals breath hitched at her words.  She had never ever for once  thought that her close proximity could ever cause problems for ghazan. She had never thought over this before. Yes he had never initiated a hug or kissed her ever while she had an old habit of clinging onto him. Hugging him and the other day she even kissed him on his cheek. Uff.!!

Kahan gum ho amal? ( where are you lost amal?)" Saira asked, pulling her out of her thoughts.

"Nahi kahin nahi bus aise hi...( no where.)" Replying she stood up to leave for the cafeteria.

..........

"Bhabi inki ruksati ka kuch karte hain ab bus, aik doosre kay baghair reh to saktay nahin hain to aik sath rehlain bus.
( lets to something about their wedding, they cant live without eachother so its better they live together." Entering mrs meena's room, amals steps halted hearing her mothers words. She was tallking to ghazans mother.

"Ami khair to hai, aisi koi bat nahi hui thee nikkah k wakt. Itni jaldi nahi karni mene ruksati.
( mother are you alright? Nothing of this sort was discussed at the time of nikkah, why such hurry?)" Barging inside the room she said angrily.

"Baro k mamlo me nahi bolte amal!
( dont speak in elders matters)" mrs meena strictly said.

"Meena sahi keh rahi hai. Aik hi ghar main to rehte ho, aik sath rehlo bache.
( meena is right, you both stay in the same house so its better you stay together.) " safia said politetly.

"Meri parhai, mera career, uska kia?( what about my education and career.)" She asked slumping on the couch.

"Ghazan mana karega kia ? Had hai amal! Or konsa kal kar rahe hain ruksati, sirf baat hi ki hai na, isliye ab jao shabash.
( ghazan wont stop you amal and we are not doing ruksati tommorow, we are just talking about it only. So please just go now."
Mrs meena said sternly and dismissed her. Stomping her feet amal was out of her room.

......

"Ami Mene university kay sath jana hai trip per out of city, next week.
( there is a university trip out of city next week and I need to go.) "
amal gathering up courage asked her mother. She knew she was never allowed for any trips except the ones to museums or factories that were for educational purposes only, since school days but considering she was in university,  she thought maybe she just might get the permission now.

"Akeli nahi bhejungi. ( you are not going alone). " came her mothers reply and she chuckled.

"Saara batch hai sath ami. Saira bhi!"
( all of the batch is going, saira will be there too.) ."
She replied quickly because she knew her mother would make excuses like these to not give her the permission.

"I dont care amal, a no means no." Saying sternly mrs meena walked away.

"My goodness!, Ghaazi...."""" stomping her foot she yelled his name and barged right into his room.

"Kiya hai amal? Kiya afat agai?"( whats wrong?)" He jumped at her scream and asked her bewildered.

"Ghazi mene trip per jana hai or ami nahi maan raheen, unko manayen ap abhi k abhi!!!( i have to go on a trip and ami is not letting me, convince her right now)"
Holding onto him she said with glint of tears in her eyes and he sighed.

"If she is stopping you its for your betterment amaloo, listen to her, shabash!" Caressing her arms lovingly he said and she abruptly pulled back.

"Nahi matlab kiyaa hai apka kay phupo ne mana kia to mana hojao..wajahhh????
Apse nikkah karne ka to koi faida nahi hua mujhe.
Apne kaha tha na kay maan jaun apki or apni ami ka kehna  to Faida  rahega, . Ap meri har bat manenge. Parhai se leke career  or uske bad ruksati kay liye to force hi nahi karenge . matlab ab ye na ho k ami or mamoo kay kehne per usper bhi tayar hojayen kiunke me bata rahi hoo aisa me hone nahi dungi."

( no! What do you mean? Why shall I listen to mom. What benefit am I getting by doing nikkah with you? You had said to listen to the elders and agree and after nikkah you will support me in everything but now it dosent seem like that and I am afraid if the elders ask you for ruksati you will abruptly agree.)"
Amal said angrily, her hands om her hips. He smiled seeing her all red and puffy.

"Hosla karo, ghussay se kahin phatt na jao, itni si to jaan hai tumhari. ( calm down, u better not errupt due to anger.)"  Holding her hand in his grip he chuckled.

"This is no joke ghazan!" She looked him straight into the eyes.

"Okay, sorry. Really sorry and i will make sure that phupo agrees for the trip. Now please smile." Pinching her cheek he said.

"Ow! And tell ami and aunt safia to never talk about our ruksati again." Wincing with pain she rubbed her cheek and stated.

"Hmm, well how can I do that amaloo?" Cocking his brow up at her words he said.

"Apne mujhe promise kia tha kay meri love marriage karainge, ye arrange warrange nahi karni thee mujhe, yaad hai ya bhool gaye?
( you promised me that you will get me married into a love marriage!, i did not wanted to do an arranged marriage, remember!)."
Murmuring cutely she came closer to him and hugged him tightly wrapping her arms around his torso. His breathing had gone a bit rigged. She would always test his patience this way.

"Haan baba, karaunga, ab love karlo  na kisi se, lekin abhi nahi  parhai k bad.
( i remember that promise but for that you have to fall in love with someone.)."
Faking a smile ghazan said and amal snuggled more into his embrace unaware of his condition, giving up he too wrappes his arms around her waist securrly tugging her more closer to him and kissed her head, inhaling in her shampoo scent.

He had loved this girl since the day she was  born maybe... The only mistake he did was this nikkah with her that too because of the pressure of elders. Amal was really against it all and convincing her took lots of efforts. The situation back then was very tensed. The accident had killed amals father and ghazans mother had been parralyzed. Luckily mr aqdus and mrs baig were left with only minor injuries. So hence when things got abit better the elders nikkafied amal and ghazan.
And that time in order to convince her,to make her agree for the parents sake, ghazan had told her that he would never force her for ruksati and if she ever likes someone then he would happily leave her and get her married there. He knew it was a crazily insane thing to say but he had. And now when amal reminded him of it he felt pain in his heart.

"Ghazan ab Ye kia baat hui bhala. Ab nahi ata koi pasand to kia karoo?
( whats this ghazan, i dont like anyone, what can I do then?)"
Her voice made him come back from his thoughts.

"Hmm, then how are you supposed to do a love marriage amal?" Whispering he said.

"Acha lekin pehle mujhe career banana hai. Uske bad kuch sochungi. " ( but first i need to make my career then i will think about something.)" Amal said.

" acha Or meri umar tab tak shadi ki nikal chuki hogee larki. Tumhe bhi chorna parega or koi doosri larki bhi tab nahi milgi.
( hmm and my age of marriage till then would be passed girl. I would have to leave you then and no other girl would marry me by then also)" saying this he chuckled and she pulled back from the long hug and he rubbed his sweaty forehead.

"Itne budhay kiun hain ap ? ( why are u such an oldy?)" She said with mischeave.

"Excuse me.? Come again!" He asked glaring at her but chuckling she ran away and he smiled.

Pagal.( mad) ..he muttered

.......

"Amal! You told ghazan that I disagreed for the trip?" Mrs meena baig asked and amal shook her head honestly.

"He was taking your favours as usual." Mrs meena added and amal smiled. She knew she had gotten the permission.

"I and your uncle  have agreed but on one condition, go to murree and attend mr siddiques sons wedding on our behalf. We cant travel that far." Mrs meena added and she groaned.

"Mama, I do not like those people, specially their daughter." She stated.

"Well its upto you if you dont want to go on that trip..." smiling slyly mrs meena stated.

"Argh fine!!! Ghazan will be along right?" She asked.

"Ofcourse." Mrs meena smiled.
