"Do I look fat in this dress?" Zoya appa asked after trying out the fifth dress.

"Ya Allah Zoya appa you look just fine why are you stressing out too much?" I asked.
"Arey I have never went for a date in my whole life, I am not like all of you" Zoya appa said.
"Don't worry appa I will be there" I said.
"Zoya take care of Nadira OK" Ammi said.
"OK ammi" Zoya appa said.
*
"When will they come?" I asked the manager.
"Just five minutes Miss" Manager said.
"OK" I said and he left I saw Zoya appa who was sitting on a table near my table tables away from me.
After a few minutes a good looking guy came and sat near Zoya appa.

I could hear their conversations.
"Hi, I am Zayan Malik" Zayan said.
"I am Zoya, Zoya Ahamad" Zoya appa Said.
"Nice to meet you Zoya" Zayan said.
"Same hear" Zoya appa said.
"Look Zoya I don't like this indirect talking and it's not like ammi choose you for me I was the one who saw your picture and I realized that.......you are the one Zoya I know it's too stupid and early but since the day I saw your face I just wanted to talk to you at least once" Zayan said.
"I was thinking lets meet like this two or three times before we take a decision" Zoya appa said.
"Yes I was thinking the same thing" Zayan said.
"Really!?" Zoya appa asked.
"OK, not really I wish you would say yes right now" Zayan said.
Zoya appa laughed. They were laughing and talking about some random things I was sure they will fall in love with each other real soon. That was when I heard someone call out my name.
"Nadira"
I turned to find Mr. Khan standing behind me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I came to meet you" He said as he sat opposite to me.
"Oye what do you think you are doing?" I asked.
"So you have a dance group?" Mr. Khan asked.
"Yes but........." I was saying but he stopped me.
"Why were you not picking up my phone?" Mr. Khan asked.
"All thanks to your stupid plan I am grounded and ammi made me surrender my mobile to her" I said.
"What! Really!?" Mr. Khan asked.
"Do you think I am joking?" I asked.
"No Nadira but I was going to ask 'what is the problem?' Mirza is a nice guy he loves Sahana and you know that" Mr. Khan said.
"Of course I know that but ammi says they are really rich and she is right why the heck will yours so called great Khan family choose my sister as their daughter in law?" I asked.
"Because Mirza loves her isn't that a reason enough?" Mr. Khan asked.
"Of course not yar this is life not a film all things matters we have community, people, culture, beliefs, judgements, gossips, hurt" I said.
"And also love, and everything's fair in love Nadira" Mr. Khan said.
His words were so beautiful I just stared at him for seconds without anything to say.
"Plus Mirza don't have his parents to oppose his decisions" Mr. Khan said.
"Why what happened to his parents?" I asked surprised.
"They died in an accident two years back" Mr. Khan said.
"Ya Allah" I said in shock.
"So now he only has a sister and I don't think she will have any problem but yes my parents will oppose" Mr. Khan said.
"What but you are not in love right?" I asked.
"No no I mean they will oppose Mirza's marriage" Mr. Khan said.
"Oh! That" I said.
"Ya but it's easy to handle, they don't like to interpret in others matter" Mr. Khan said.
"Oh! But if it was you there would be a lot of problems right" I said.
"Yes that's for sure" Mr. Khan said.
"Hmmm" I said.
"But it's OK no one is going to love me anyway" Mr. Khan said.
"Why won't anyone love you?" I asked.
"Because I am selfish I can't love anyone because I love myself more" Mr. Khan said.
"But that cannot stop someone from loving you" I said and it was his turn to get shocked.
We looked into each other's eyes for seconds while a voice interpreted our eyes game.
"Hey Kabir are you done"
I turned to seen Mr. Zayan Malik Standing near us. I was shocked.
"Ya almost done Zayan just a few minutes more" Mr. Khan said.
Zoya appa was standing next to us.
"Kabir this is Zoya and Zoya this is Kabir my business partner and close friend" Zayan said.
"Nadira you came to meet him?" Zoya appa asked.
"Well..............I......hmmm" I searched for an apt excuse.
"She came to meet me we had to book a dance show" Mr. Khan said. I was shocked to hear that.
"Zoya you know her?" Zayan asked.
"Yes, she is my younger sister Nadira" Zoya appa said.
"Oh! So you are that dancer, Nadira my PA called you right?" Zayan asked.
"Yes two days back" I said.
"Actually our restaurant completed one year and there is a party next week and we need dancers" Zayan said.
"What do you mean by 'Our restaurant'?" Zoya appa asked confused.
"My and Kabir's" Zayan said.
"Oh!" Zoya appa said.
Now I understood the whole story. Tiara was Kabir and Zayan's restaurant.
"Kabir please ask about the rate and stuff OK we will just go for a walk and come" Zayan said and walked out with Zoya appa.
"So you own this place" I said.
"Yep and we need dancers" Kabir said.
"OK how much can you pay?" I asked.
"1000 per dancer" Mr. Khan said.
It was more than enough.
"OK done" I said.
"But if no one like your show I won't pay you" Mr. Khan said.
"But that's not fair" I said.
"Why are your programs too bad?" Mr. Khan asked.
"Not at all" I said.
"Then accept my condition" Mr. Khan said.
"OK done" I said.
"OK what now?" Kabir asked.
"We have time till Zoya appa returns" I said.
"OK so let's talk about love" Mr. Khan said.
"OK" I said.
*
"So romantic appa" I said to Zoya appa. We were sitting and discussing about the date in our room
"This calls for a celebration" Sahana said.
"Ya like the Zayan Malik owner of tiara and all great business in the town proposed my appa" Aisha said.
"Oh! Nadira was having real fun there 'but that cannot stop anyone from loving you' nice use of words Nadira" Zoya appa said.
I almost forgot that even she can hear me.
"Oh! I was just talking he came to book the dance program you know" I said.
"But Zayan said that Mr. Khan was talking great things about you and that's why he called you for the dance program" Zoya appa said.
"Really!?" Aisha asked.
"Even Mirza said he was talking a lot about you" Sahana said.
"Oh! Maybe he is fascinated to see a strange girl who calls herself the incarnation of Anarkali" I said.
"So are you gonna dance at tiara?" Aisha asked.
"Of course I am it pays well" I said.
"Appa I wanna meet Mirza" Sahana said.
"Shut up Sahana ammi will hear you" Zoya appa said.
"Even I wanna meet Ayan" Aisha said.
"Shut up Aisha" I said.
"Nadira..........Nadira......." Ammi called out from inside the kitchen.
"Coming ammi" I said and stood up.

"Nadira beta what happened with the dance program booking?" Ammi asked.
"It's done ammi, I will get 1000 Rs" I said.
"Good but can you arrange one more dance show?" Ammi asked.
"Why ammi?" I asked.
"You know I wish to conduct Zoya's engagement soon so that I can start thinking about all of your marriages also" Ammi said.
"Ammi don't you trust us?" I asked.
"Nadira I don't want my daughters to suffer especially you Nadira you know what happened in your past life I don't want history to repeat again" Ammi said.
"OK ammi I will search" I said.
