     Ziya know she's little extra with her green organza dupatta and silver glass bangles as she roams around house humming her favourite song sawaar loon. Dressed in teal green shalwar suit with 3 inches heels, hair opened and little bit of make up. You only live once and you should live like heroine of classic Bollywood movie. No actually she has study abroad since she was young, she didn't get chance to attend weddings and all so she spends her whole vacation wearing different beautiful desi dresses and getting ready day she loves it

  Well if you ask her about her engagement she will say it's all same, nothing has changed honestly because she still sees shayan as her best friend more than fiancé. Lol she still jokes about handsome boys with him and he laughs like he use to what is this behaviour pooja! Yes what's this behaviour but this is what happens when you decides to get two childhood besties hitched

    She stoped at sight of handsome man getting out of her father's office nevermind that's chandio. His eyes fell on her and that infamous smirk was back on his lips as he approached her. He was dressed in black dress shirt and black pants. Upper buttons undone and sleeves rolled up like gunda he is. Silver chain resting underneath and rings in his fingers gosh what is he a don? Hot one what it's not wrong complimenting god's creation!

"Salam." His eyes takes in her appearance. She gives him eye roll which made him smile she's cute he thought bitting his lip

"Walaikumsalam." She replies and turns to leave on which he got grip on her dupatta and tugged get closer. She got butterflies and looked at him as he made eye-contact with her

"Muh kyun ban jata hai mujhe dekh kar? Or it's all act to hide what you actually feel for me?" He raise his eyebrow in her way tugging her more closer making her gasp what in name of Bollywood is this! She screams in her head

"Lol right mari jarahi hoon apke liye toh mein saans nahi arahi mujhe koi oxygen lekr ayo please oh wait my oxygen is right here! Arbaar chandio." She jokes. He laughed loudly such a drama Queen she is. She also smiles shaking her head as he backed her against nearby wall

"Why did you got engaged?"

"Mujhe shaadi krni hai." She tells him. She will regret oversharing later. She leaned against wall as he hummed with smile still on his lips so her, he knows she's obsessed with desi stuff and huge ass weddings. He has been coming to their house with his father since she was 14 and he was 23. She would blabber about these things and also how much she hates politics

"Kyun?"

"Bache chahiye." She pouts

"Is this reason why you have broken my heart. Mujhe kheti jitne chahiye uthne bache deta." He bring his hand to tuck strand of hair behind ear. Her heart skipped a beat and eyes stuck on his face as he leaned closer gosh why is her heart beating so fast no it's pounding! Her breath gets heavier slowly as he locked eyes with her

"If you ever change your mind. You know where to call right princess?" He whispered in her ear huskily with his lips touching her ear. Her heart she watches as he pulled back with smirk and waves at her before leaving breath Ziya breath! She tells herself and is sure that her face is red as tomato! What was that oh god is she developing crush on him. She was still in some daze when her father also came out of study and looks at her in confusion

"Ziya meri jaan you alright?" She shook her head cutely and gets closer him

"I think I have crush baba." She whispers to him

"You what?" He frown

"Crush baba didn't know you are this much outdated that you doesn't even know what's crus-." Now what's coming!

"I know!"

"Why are you yelling?"

"I am not." He clears his throat "Yeah so you have crush on whom?" He asked rubbing his forehead

"Don't get mad promise."

"Hmm."

"Promise baba!"

"Fine promise!"

"You are yelling again-"

"Just say it." He was now getting frustrated. Ziva's situation has already given him so much stress because she's been really sad and he just want to do something for her but he can't think of anything at moment

"Rehne den mein muma ko bataugi." She says giving him looks before leaving from there great she has fiancé but still having crushes. He shouldn't have given his kids this much deel, He turned around to face window that shows garden and saw Zaafir helping mahnoor watering flowers okay he needs to talk to his wife right now

"Shehnaaz!"

"Shehnaaz!"

"Shehnaaz!"

"Shehnaa-"

"Jee Jee Mir-sahab!" She answered coming out of washroom with robe around and wet hair he can't even wait! She wants to give him annoyed expressions but she instead gives him gentle one kya yaad rakhehe Mir sahab she thought

"Nahane gayi thi ya tafree krne?" This man makes her blood boil

"Kya kaam tha apko?"

"I need to tell you something really important so please meri jaan sit down first." He grab her hand gently and guides her towards bed before making her sit. She was confused and worried did he kill anyone? She was getting worried by how he's pacing around room

"Mir sahab you are scaring me."

"No meri jaan your kids are scaring me." They becames her kids when they do something bad. She mentally rolls her eyes

"Kya kiya ab?"

"Ziva loves shayan. Ziya has crush and Zaafir loves  girl who works here." He tells her. She parted her lips in shock Ziva loves Shayan and Ziya has crush that what bothers her more, she knew about Zaafir liking mahnoor and she doesn't mind as long as he's polite and manner full towards her

"We should talk to Ziva."

"She's being stubborn I have tried many times. She been crying because of this not because of some headache."

"How can Ziya have crush when she has fiancé." She questioned that's so wrong

"Exactly."

"Now what Mir-sahab?" She asked her husband since he think he's so smart he should take about solutions for this problem

"You ask Ziya on whom she's crushing now and I'll try talking to shayan and see if he has any feeling towards Ziva." He ordered. She nodded immediately standing up to walk towards door on which he held her hand. She looks at him what now look. He signal down towards her bathrobe. She did oh and change her route. He grabbed her hand again and place hard kiss on her cheek before making his way out of room in hurry he looks tense. She makes her way towards washroom and Mir shah came back Ab kya! She was about to ask

"You know what that can fucking wait." He starts unbutton his shirt's button huh and she was swiftly pulled inside washroom by him

     Ziva clutches her book against her chest tightly as she walks in garden. She totally ignored her elder brother who was speaking in such a gentle tone with Mahanoor that it doesn't sound him at all. He's so loud in real life with his annoying personality but with her, He's like lost puppy smiling and laughing. So much in love at least someone is getting it. She sighed touching roses with sad smile. Shayan always brings roses for them from his mother's garden and they are more beautiful

"Ziva."

    She instantly turned her head at her name being called by her grey-eyed crush. She watches him rushing towards her with smile on his face. Breath left her lips only if he was hers, he stops in front of her and gives her rose. Her eyes shines up until he showed her another one

"For Ziya where is she?" He asked. If he only gave her flower they will be suspicious so that's why he always brings for her and Ziya. He has tried his best to never let her know that he feels same. He doesn't wanna give her hopes

"Ander."

     She murmured taking red rose from him and turning around to look at their garden roses gloomy and need love. Shayan's heart break for her but this is what it is, they have to accept reality. He stayed on his place looking at her with distant eyes his Ziva he sighed heavily looking away with heavy heart. He takes few steps and his heart didn't agree so he walks back towards her

"Yeh tum rakhlo ziya pata nahi kaha hogi. You know pure ghar mein ghumti phirti hai." He excused giving her other rose

"Rakhlu paka?"

"Paka Ziva." He nodded and noticed her smile widening. He watches her admiring those roses with gilt in her eyes "Zindagi rok nahi jati agar pasandida shakhs na mile. Allah has always better plans." He randomly said. He doesn't know if he's assuring her or himself, she looks at him

"Kharab zaror hojati hai." She says and he clenched his fist stoping himself from saying what his heart wants to say

"Shayan!"

    Ziya shouts from entrance of garden and when he glanced her way. She gesture him to come quickly with excitement, she looks extra happy? Did she got hands on Mir shah's watches? He wondered and it made him chuckle, Ziva looks at him and through he's really happy to see his fiancé. Her heart shattered and hopes died. She's just being problematic here, Shayan turn to look at Ziva who was already making her leave

    Ziva makes her way inside their house ignoring her elder sister by entrance, who frown at behaviour but her attention was quickly stole by shayan smacking her head

"Konsa karnama krdiya tumne."

"Can we break this engagement!" She blurted out

"Huh?"

"I agreed for getting engaged to you because mujhe shaadi krni thi us waqt toh koi pasand nahi tha lekin thori der phely I had moment with someone jisme meri heartbeat Tez hogayi and saans ruk gayi that's what you call attraction? Khair jo bhi tha mujhe ab uske sath I want to know you more phase mein jana hai and-"

"Saans lo paindu." Shayan chuckled

"Tumhara baap paindu."

"Baap pe mat ja."

"Chal bey."

"Bro your father will kill us both." Shayan scoffed

"But he knows." She pouts he what? Shayan looks at her in disbelief. Did she already told this to Mir shah? God she's such a bold girl. She didn't even waste single day "I know it's unfair for you lekin it's not like tumhe pyaar hogaya mujhse in do dino mein also it's fair to tell you now than hide it while having feelings for someone else. You aren't mad right." She said

"I'm not mad at all." He smiled he's damn happy opposite. She leaned little closer to him only for him to hear while she whisper

"Tum kaho toh Ziva set karke doon? Just don't tell muma baba aur Zaafir." She whisper in guilt. He couldn't help but laugh

"Hmm karke dou set." Hain? Did he really agree for getting with someone. She has tried this for years and he's always refusing making excuses. Did he like Ziva? She looks at him suspiciously, she may act bubbly but she gets things and situations quickly if she wants to
