Bola tha na mat banen itni strong, nahin hain mazboot ap!, meri sunta hi kon hai?" Fazi had yet again came in and complained seeing her state.

"Leave me alone fazi, I need sometime." She pledged wiping away her tears.

"I cant leave you in this condition. Even ama jan is silently sobbing in her room. Mazeen bhai na atay to ziada acha tha." He had blurted out and hearing about ama jan biya instantly wiped her tears, left her room in a haste to go to her piari ama jan. The thought that ama jan was in pain always was intolerable.

Coming out of her room, she nearly bumped into mazeen who halted in his steps. For a minute their eyes met and the next instant propping her dupata on her head biya walked away from his side.

Her eyes, her tear stricken eyes caused his insides to churn. He was rooted in his spot.

Fazi came out just after her and stopped seeing mazeen standing there.

"Mazeen bhai ap!" He hadent met him yet. So seeing him standing in front, fazi lowered his eyes.

"Uske lye apne bhai se nahi milogay fazi?" Mazeen asked him raising his brow towards where biya had disappeared.

"Apko andaza bhi hai kay ap kia karke gaye the? And do you even realise what a gem you have lost." Fazi said with hurt in his eyes. He had loved and always admired his elder brother but what mazeen had done, he instantly lost respect in faraz's eyes.

"Acha na faraz sahab, lecture bad me de dena, filhal apne bhai ko to mil lo." Grabbing fazi from his shoulders mazeen hugged him and fazi didnt protest.

"Bhai sab theek karlo na yar!" Fazi said in a requesting tone.

"Hmm." Patting his back mazeen left and headed to the guest room.

"Ama jan please stop crying for my sake. Take care of your health. Blood pressure low hojayega apka." AnaBiya said hugging ama jan.

"Tumhe dekh kay mera dil bekarar hota hai meri bachi. Main tumhari mujrim hoon." Ama jan said wiping her tears.

"Ama jan, ap mera sab kuch hain. Khudara aisa na bolen. Ap na hoteen to mera kia hota? Aur ap fikar na karen, main bilkul theek hoo aur dekhen muskura bhi rahi hoo. Ab uthain, ayen neeche khana khatay hain." Smiling anabiya took hold of ama jans hand and pulled her with herself into the dining room.

Everyone of the haveli household was present on the table. It was their ritual. Evening tea and dinner was always eaten together in ama jans portion.

Entering the dining room biya stopped for a while seeing mazeen present on the table.
But she had to be strong. This was her house and she couldent lock herself and hide because of him.
Holding onto ama jans hand she proceeded and very confidently too hold of her chair and ama jan also very silently sat and kept observing biya and mazeen.

Biya was acting all strong, smiling. Serving dishes to all the elders as per her usual. Ama jan smiled in her heart at her confident beti.
Ama jans eyes unvolunteerily travelled to mazeen and ama jan was shocked to his eyes trailing on biya's figure.
"Ama jan, kiya ap bhi wohi soch rahi hain jo main soch rahi hoon!" Wajeeha who was seated beside ama jan whispered in ama jans ear and nodding silently ama jan smiled.

Mazeen was pacing around his room. His mind was stuck at anabiya who was supposedly his wife.
Her carefree attitude was haunting him. Why was she so silent. Why did she pretend she didnt care or did she really did not care at all? Dident his presence bother her. All these thoughts were disturbing him for no valid reason and he was feeling frustrated. She was ignoring him. Acting as if he didnt exist. Girls were always dieing to get a chance to be closer to him and this girl...
But No she did care. She did have tears in her eyes when she came out of her room. She was clearly bothered. Smiling he thought but why was all of this bothering him?.
Shaking his thoughts away he went to sleep.

The day of the wedding was getting closer and guests had started pouring in. Anabiya was getting more and more restless now. She knew the households knew everything and were silent but the guests wouldent leave a minute to torture her . To question her about her relationship with mazeen. Few months back at wajeeha's brothers wedding many people came over and said many things but ama jan always covered but that time it was easier as mazeen was not present.

Pushing back her thoughts and leaving everything to flow she rushed out to lay the afternoon tea oudoor as it was a bright sunny day.

"Biya bhabi aj to dil pakoray khanay ko tha baday zor se jese novels me heroines barish wale mausam main khatee hain ." Fazi came in from behind scaring her alittle.

"Fazi na hi tum heroine ho or na hi aj barish hai!" Chuckling at him she said.

"Acha to dhoop main hero's ka dil karta hai na zinger burger ka, wo agar mil jata to." Winking he said what he wanted to say and biya laughed at his cleverness.

"Mohtaram na ap hero hain aur na ye burger ka wakt. Chai ka wakt hai. Biscuit cake khao or katlo!" Laughing at him she pinched his shoulder.

"Haye zalim!!! Aise to na bolen, kabhi university aker poochen larkian humain apna hero manti hain!" Fazi was never out of replies and he somehow always managed to wipe off the sad mood of biya.

She was laughing and joking around with him forgetting all the worries. While seeing this scene from the gate mazeen sikander sulked, coming back from the gym he just entered and the scene he encountered just started a storm in his heart. A storm of ego and confusion if that is a thing.
She was looking so carefree and, and yes beautiful, he had to admit.
But he hated it when she laughed with everyone but seeing him  she would run away or instantly become silent.

Feeling someones gaze on her, anabiya  suddenly looked over to where he was and her smile fainted seeing him. In a second she had rushed inside and mazeen sighed.

"Fazi baat suno!" He called faraz and thats when fazi gripped the reason of biya's sudden disappearance.

"Jee bhai." Fazi said coming towards him.

"Mujhe dekhte hi isko kiya hojata hai?" He questioned taking fazi offguard .

"Apko nahi pata bhai ya jaan kay anjaan ban rahe hain? Wese apko kiun fark par raha hai?" Scoffing fazi said and leaving him shunned he proceeded inside.

"Yes he is right? Why does it bother me? Do hell with her!" Shaking off his thoughts he took a seat at the tea table where after a while everyone started pouring in.

Anabiya was the last one to join and very unluckily the only seat left was just opposite mazeen.
Taking her seat she slowly started taking little sips of her chai not bothering to eat any snacks.

Mazeens eyes were staring at her deeply. He had to agree she had some very prominent features. Big bold eyes, her beautiful wheatish colour which was giving a different shine in the light of the sun and her lips...

"Biya beta bohat hi mazaydar patties banain hain." Mazeen's thoughts were intrupted when taya jee complimented her food skills.

"Shukriya taya jee." In came her sweet little voice which had made the whole household her fan.

Unvolunteerily his hands just forwarded to the pattie despite being a health concious and a gym freak he took a bite of it and yes he had to agree he hadent eaten any better home made pattie before.

"Acha hai na zeen?" Wajeeha asked smiling.

"Yeah, nice." Nodding he picked it up and left the table and biya was stunned.

"Dhokaybaaz kahin ka! Aur iss wajeeha se to me bad me nibtungi" She thought in her head.

As the wedding was close by, all the youngsters would gather up in the haveli's hall, light up the fire place, munch up snacks, play games and practice dances.

Wajeeha and her sister, sana ,faraz,biya and chacha jans kids plus phupos sons all were present there and the session of eating peanuts was going on. Sana was legit too fast in pealing them and eating them and everyone was roasting her on that.

"Khaa khaa kay phat jaogi moti." Came in fazi's voice.

"Dulhan banna hai, zara to khyal karlo larki!" Wajeeha said.

"Sana tumne to dulha bhai ko kuch khanay nahi dena, sab kuch khud khaa jaogi." Fazi had dared say again and everyone was laughing hardout, enjoying .
While standing on the door mazeen felt bad in his heart for missing on all the fun. Being the brides brother he was left out for whom? For that ordinary girl, who was enjoying with his family.

"Khabardaar meri behen ko kisi ne tang kia to!" Without a second thought he barged in. Why would he stay out for that girl. If she couldent stand him, she should leave and miss on the fun, not him.
Seeing him enter she instantly stood up to leave but wajeeha held her hand and pulled her to sit.

"Mat jao. Dat kar bethy raho." Wajeeha whispered in her ear and unwantedly biya obliged and sat.
Mazeen was eyeing each of her actions and seeing her sit he smiled inwardly. So someone was being daring.

Sana got up and hugged mazeen smiling whole heartedly. She was happy her elder brother was here to defend her.
"Zeen Bhai, fazi called me moti" she complained and mazeen laughed holding faraz from his ear.

"Khabardar meri behen ko mota kaha to, wo to sirf chubby hai." Winking he said mischievously and everyone booed at sana.

"Zeen Bhai ap bhi! Jayen me apse baat nahi karungi. Sirf meri biya bhabi hi achi hain." Getting  out of his embrace sana whined and anabiya's  heart did a somersault. Why did she had to mention her in front of him.

"Hmm, to bhai se ziada piari bhabi hogayeen." He asked, his eyes direct on anabiya and she had her head lowered. She was unaware of what games he was playing now.
This time she couldent sit further.

"Main ama jan ko dawai dedoo." Excusing the crowd she left without daring to glance up at him.

And as for mazeen all of a sudden everything started seeming worthless.!
The reason he was unable to grip! Why was he suddenly starting to show interest in that same girl he had not an ounce of interest in before.
