Prince Charming. who comes to the rescue of a damsel in distress and must engage in a quest to liberate her from an evil spell. When you mention this term in front of Shehnaaz waseem, she could only think of one person her, Mir-sahab. Mir Sidharth shah

"Mir-sahab sambhal lenge Shehnaaz rona mat tum" she heard her father who was gently caressing her long raven hair who goes bellow her waist. Covering her whole back

"Lekin kese baba." Her lips curved her in small pout as she looked at her dear father with teary eyes. She wanted to change her school in mid-summer because of constant bullying but admissions are closed everywhere and she can't stay in her old school anymore

"Mein unse baat krta hoon. Unke jane wale hain kuch schools ke maalik." He assured his daughter who's eyes light up with hope

"Wo krlenge?"

"Esa kuch nahi hai jo wo na karsake Shehnaaz."

Is he that much powerful? That was first time Shehnaaz got to know about how much influenced and powerful person their Mir-sahab is. She got admission into much better school in same week on his reference and not only that. She was treated better by staff because he personally went there and recommended her. That was also moment she completely relaid on him behind doors. If she was in any kind of trouble. Her Mir-sahab would handle it even if he was London completing his master's degree

He maybe cold and distant but she always has seen better version of him when he was with her father. He would smile and even laugh sometimes, which was rare. After his father passed away. He stopped showing world his emotions and feelings. He grew distant from everyone even this own family but that doesn't mean he back off from his responsibilities. At the age of 17 he took over all responsibilities of shah residence. He became clan leader of shahs when he turned 18 and she? She was learning spellings in her 1 class. He's 13 years elder than her

He was getting gold medal in history from Oxford University at age of 24 and she was in class 6, failing her history subject

He completed his master's by 27 and she was struggling with her with O'levels at that time. She remember how on wage of crying she was because she found it hard to get same amount in trail balance sheet, while her father had huge grin while speaking with his Mir- sahab on call, who informed him about his graduation and that he's coming back Pakistan very night

Next day she had important test but she ditched that test because her Mir-sahab was coming back and their was noway she will miss that. He was away for like 6 years. She needs to tell him how mean her economics teacher is

15 year old girl's eyes gleamed up when she looked at him. Her doe eyes always fills up with admiration and happiness whenever she sees him. So handsome and dashing. He was wearing brown colour suit with off-white pants and white button up shirt underneath. His sleeves rolled up and hair falling on his forehead. He looks just like those heroes from novels she reads. He does looks like Prince Charming

"Shehnaaz ankhen kitaab mein." His stern voice brings her back to reality. She pouted looking at trail balance sheet. He was teaching her after she accidentally confessed getting 2 marks. He was disappointed. She doesn't like when he gets disappointed. He didn't offer but order her that he's gonna teach her until she gets it fully

"Mujhe yeh boring lagta hai. Subject." She shared her thoughts. He lifts his brows, keeping pen down to give young girl attention

"Kya boring nahi lagta tumhe?" He asked

"Ap." She answered without thinking

"Esa kyun?" He was oblivious to girl's admiration for him and the way her eyes shines up at his presence. He noticed non since she's just 14 year old girl who hates studying

"No reason." She shrugs

No reason? Hell, there are millions of reason Shehnaaz can think of why he doesn't bore her. She can watch him do anything and still she wouldn't want to look away. He can never bore her even if he's doing nothing

"O'Shehnaaz!"

She looked at Aryaan who waved at her with maham and amna with him. They are younger siblings of Sidharth. They have bat and ball in their hands. Wow cricket. She thought and looked at Sidharth who was already looking at her with I know you will be say now and it's no. She mad sad face and he feels like shit for holding her back. With sigh he closed her book

"Jao khelo."

He didn't wait for her to thank him and left. He always leave after he's done. He does not wait. People outside are scared of him and some even call him bad person. She has seen him how for his own entertainment he make people suffer. He once kept Apple over his security guard's head to practice his shooting skills. And would laugh if they flinch out of fear. He's not good. But she doesn't care. He's her Prince Charming and always will be

She saw him leaving. His foot step fading slowly. That was time she realise. She hates when he leaves and it always gave her weird feelings. That was last time she saw him face to face, because very next day he went Sewan. His village, their clan's council called for meeting and engaged him to daughter of Fardeen gabool. Younger brother of prime minister gabool. For better political connections

And when he came back Karachi. He didn't stay and went back London. According to her father, he wasn't happy with clan's decision and left for while until they change their decision, because he didn't want to get married

She after struggles passed her entrance exam for IBA University and got admission at age of 18. Entering adulthood, she slowly stop thinking about her Mir-sahab, all the time. She did not forget him, she wouldn't dare to but her memories mixed up and she completely focused on her new friends and university and when she get elder she realise that, all this time she had crush on him. She actually had crush on him. She would cringe thinking about how she use to annoy him with her presence all the time and poor him use to tolerate her. He also use to show how annoyed he was. She didn't seems to get that until now. She now gets embarrassed thinking about all those things

Whenever one of her friend mentions him in any negative comments she takes it personally and swear she won't speak to that friend again. You can say anything to her but she won't hear any word against her Mir-sahab

"Shehnaaz yaar kya faida tumhari O'levels ka agar ek sheet nahi horahi tumse." Mustafa click his tongue, her first ever university friend. She doesn't like having male friends but he was really friendly and made her comfortable now they have been friends since 2 years already and he's her closest friend whom she trust

"Bas karo mujhe dekhne dou kahan galti krdi mene phirse." She trail her eyes over whole sheet to look for error that has ruin her whole mehnat. Mustafa shake his head and brings out phone from his pocket to scroll through insta

"Ary tum maham shah ko janti ho na mujhe number dedo-"

"Zain shah suna hai?" She lifts her head and asked with seriousness

"Haan second heir of shah clan na your Mir-Sahab's cousin who has murder allegations against him haina?" She tried hard not to blush at your and hissed

"He didn't do that okay." She said

"How do you know?"

"I just know." She insist. Mustafa looked at her who suddenly got uncomfortable, so he decided to drop that topic

"Haan toh usko kya?" He raised his eyebrow

"Maham unki hai fiancé bachpan se and he may act he doesn't care but if he see your number in her phone he will definitely look for you and agy tumhe pata hai kya hosakta hai." She informed him

"Child-engagements are pathetic." Mustafa commented

"True. But their elders are from village side with conservative values tumhe nahi pata how narrow minded they are." She shared

"How is your father working with them Shehnaaz aren't they dangerous type?" Mustafa always wondered this

"Baba se phely dada-jaan worked for them and they are good to their employees. They have helped us a lot especially Mir-sahab." She told with small smile appearing on her lips. Whenever Shehnaaz has find herself in any problem. He was always there with solution

"I see." Mustafa nodded "I heard he is engaged to prime minister's brother's daughter. That could make him chief minister from minister soon." He added

"Yes."

Was all Shehnaaz said. She wouldn't share personal information like he's not happy with this engagement and all. She now focuses on redoing this whole sheet. She still hasn't learn to do this basic thing properly, she's sure he would be disappointed if he knows about it. After attending all of her classes for day. She went back her home. She and her father lives in Clifton block 8, they have apartment which was given by shah's to her grandfather and ever since they live in this apartment

She and her father lives alone. Her mother died giving birth to her and after that her father didn't remarry. He took care of her all alone, by himself and has full-filled her all wishes. She loves him

"Asalam-o-alaikum, Baba!"

She entered house like always greeting him. He turned around with smile, he was on call but he passed her smile and gesture her to sit beside him on couch. She kept her purse and books on table and takes seat with him. He wrapped arm around her shoulder before putting down phone

"Kis se baat kar rahe the ap?" She asked

"Mir-sahab arahe hain kal wapis Pakistan." He informed. Her heart skipped a beat. He's coming back. Waseem could see same hint of happiness in her eyes as their use to be

"Waqai?"

"Jee."

"Toh unke council wale maan gaye unki baat?" She hopes they did since he has stayed 5 years ago from place he loves

"Nahi. Mir-sahab maan gaye baat, wo shaadi ke liye maan gaye." He said with smile. Why does she feel unhappy about him agreeing? She shouldn't feel this not about him. Honestly speaking she's no match for him in any way. That girl would be better for him and he was always passionate about his career in politics that would help him

"Oh..Achaa." She murmured keeping fake smile on her face since real wasn't coming "Ap coffee piyoge banadu?" She asked

"Tum baitho mein bana deta hoon." He said standing up. She nodded sinking in couch as he leaves but their talk remain in her head
