Kehara is in her office. She is feeling sleepy as she could not sleep before 3:30 in the morning. There is no particular reason for not being able to sleep. Maybe she just wanted some time with herself which is not possible during the day time. She is wishing either Mr Khan declares a holiday today which is next to impossible or the day to end as soon as possible. She is not able to concentrate on her work. She is just staring at her laptop screen because she has reached to a point where she has no idea what she is suppose to do and is clueless of where she is and who she is. Never stay awake at night for so long that it make you go crazy the next day. She was thinking what exactly is going around her when Aman entered the room.

"Salam Dad. How are......oh Salam Kehara." Aman said with a awkward smile. Kehara smiled back and said

"Walekum assalam Aman. Please come in."

Aman nodded and came in. He went near his dad's table and sat on the chair. Kehara is staring at Aman. After few seconds Aman saw her staring but then she looked away.

"Is there something on my face?" Aman asked placing his hand on his face. Kehara looked at him again and smiled.

"Oh no no. I was just thinking something."

"And what were you thinking?" Aman raised his eyebrow.

"Just a random thought that crossed my mind."

"Okay. Mind sharing it?"

"Nothing important I was just thinking why you did not sit on your dad's chair."

Aman chuckled and said "Because I don't deserve it. I have a long way to reach there."

Kehara was impressed by Aman and smiled raising her eyebrows. Kehara once again started staring her laptop screen thinking what she was suppose to complete. Aman who knows he should keep his mouth shut but he could not resist the urge to ask kehara about that mystery boy and said.

"I saw you yesterday."

Kehara turned to face him and said "oh Really? Where?"

"Near that coffee shop. I'm sorry but I don't remember it's name."

"Oh. What were you doing there? And I didn't saw you. Where were you?"

"I was driving home from office."

"You came here yesterday? I didn't know that."

"For that it is important that you should be in the office."

The first thought that came in her mind was he is taunting her. But he never did that before. So she thought she is just over thinking and said.

"I had some important work yesterday."

"I saw your important work." Aman whispered so she could not hear him. But unfortunately she heard him.

"What do you mean Aman?" Kehara asked.Her tone Showing that she is angry. Aman looked at her in alarm. He did not wanted to taunt her or hurt her.

"Nothing Kehara." He said looking everywhere but her.

"No Aman, you have to answer me. What do you mean?"

Her tone made Aman feel guilty, but he was disappointed as he never expected her to be so rude to him.

"Kehara calm down."

"Don't tell me to calm down. Tell me what did you meant by I saw your important work."

"I mean nothing kehara."

"I know it very well what you meant Aman."

"So tell me what did I meant Kehara."

Okay wrong move Aman.

"You saw me with a boy. Right?"

Aman hesitated for few seconds before saying.

"Yes."

"Aman yes I was with a boy there but that does not mean he is my boyfriend! He is my childhood friend. He was in need of some help so I went there as a good friend. I'm sure even you will do that."

"I never said that he is your boyfriend Kehara!"

"But you thought he is my boyfriend. Didn't you?"

Aman didn't reply to that and just looked away.

"I got my answer. I have a meeting now so I'm going. Mr Khan will be back in some time please wait for him here." Saying that Kehara left the room not even waiting for Aman's reply.

"Well done Aman!" Aman said to himself closing his eyes.

"Yes that is ready. I will call you later........Aman when did you come?"

Mr Khan asked coming in the room few seconds after kehara left.

"Just now."

"Okay .why are you upset? And where is Kehara?"

" I'm fine and she said there is some meeting and left.

"Now?" Mr Khan checked the time and said "we still have 30 minutes."

"Okay." Aman said nodding his head, understanding why she left 30 minutes before.

"So Aman did you bring all the documents I told you?"

"Yes Dad. How can you forget such important documents at home? Since when did you become so unprofessional?"

Mr Khan laughed "Your Father is old now son."

"I can see that." Aman said smiling.

"That's why I want you to get married as soon as you can."

Aman looked at Mr Khan with a shocked expression.

"Dad?"

"What? Just like normal dads I want my son to get married and give me grandchildren!"

Aman was quiet for sometime before saying "It's just shocking as you never said that before. I thought you are least interested in my marriage."

Mr Khan rolled his eyes

"Aman I'm a father of course I want you to get married and be happy."

"Okay." Aman said softly.

"So Aman."

"Yes Dad."

When Mr Khan hesitated to say Aman looked at him suspiciously.

"I have a girl in mind."

"For what?" Aman asked praying that his father is not talking about his marriage.

"For you silly."

"Who are you talking about Dad?"

"You know her."

Aman's heart started beating fast.

"Everyone knows about my feelings!?" Aman asked himself

"So Aman what do you think about Zara?"

"Zara!" Aman shouted.

"Yes Zara? Why what happened?" Mr Khan asked slightly shocked by his son's reaction.

"Who is Zara!?"

"Aman! Zara. Zara Shaikh. My friend's daughter. She was with you in school."

Aman thought for few minutes. It took him few minutes to remember Zara Shaikh.

"Oh that Zara."

"Aman were you expecting someone else's name?"

Aman started panicking and after calming himself after few seconds he said "No! I never thought about any girl." He said the last part slowly. Mr Khan raised his eyebrow.

"Okay. So should I talk to her father?"

"No Dad!"

"Okay! calm down son!"

"Thank you."

"Why do you want me to not talk to her father?"

Aman thought for an excuse for some time and said "Because I want to concentrate on my work now dad."

"Aman listen I have to leave now. You stay here. I will finish that meeting and come. It will not take more than thirty minutes." Mr Khan said after checking the time.

"Okay dad."

Mr Khan started walking towards the door and just before leaving the room he turned back and said "And think of a better excuse son." And with that he left.

***

Aman is talking to Afzal. It has been three hours since his father left for the meeting. He is still in the meeting. After playing candy crush for 1000th time he called Afzal. He told him all that happened today. From the fight with Kehara to the shock his father gave him.

"Afzal stop laughing!"

Afzal ignored him and continued laughing.

"Afzal stop!"

"I can't."

"AFZAL!"

"Okay okay. Now I won't laugh."

"Good. And now tell me what was so funny!?"

Afzal started laughing again and continued doing that for few seconds.

"I don't know. But Your behaviour is funny."

"What!? That is the weirdest thing I have ever heard."

"I know. But who would have thought Aman Khan will be controlled by a girl like Kehara."

"What do you mean by a girl like Kehara?" Aman raised his eyebrow.

"And you say you don't love her!"

"Afzal. Help."

"Okay. So as a friend it is my responsibility to tell you that you are an idiot! How can you say that to her!" Afzal scolded.

"I know I should have not done that. But what's done is done. What should I do now?"

"Apologise her."

"Will she accept my apology?"

"Of course Aman."

"Okay I can do that. What about Zara Shaikh!"

"This is what made me laugh. Your luck brought you a Shaikh but not Kehara Shaikh." Afzal started laughing again.

"Afzal you are not helping."

"What's wrong in Zara Aman? I think she is a good option."

"No! Not at all."

"Why?"

"Because I never really liked her. She is a really irritating girl."

"Even if she was not irritating you would have found some or the other fault in her."

"What do you mean?"

"Now you will compare each and every girl with Kehara. And no one can be like her for you! Kehara is special you see."

Before Aman could reply he saw Kehara coming through the glass wall and said "Afzal I will call you later."

"What happened suddenly?"

"It's time to apologise."

Aman disconnected the call and stood up. All ready to apologise. Kehara was talking to someone when she opened the door so she did not notice Aman. Once she was done she came in checking the file of the meeting report and after few seconds she noticed someone standing and looked up. She was shocked to see Aman. After few seconds of staring she make her way towards her table. And started putting her things in the beg because it was time to leave for home. After some awkward seconds she finally said something still looking towards her table.

"What are you doing here Aman?"

"Ahh actually dad told me to wait. He wanted to talk to me."

Kehara looked up instantly and said "He left fifteen minutes back."

"What?"

"Yeah. I think he forgot about you."

"I guess you are right."

By now Kehara was done and said "AllahHafiz Aman." And started walking towards the door. Before she could reach the door Aman said

"Kehara wait."

She stopped but did not turn.

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay Aman."

"No I'm really sorry. Please accept my apology."

" Aman I accept your Apology. Don't worry. "

"Really?" Aman asked not believing that he was forgiven. Kehara smiled and turned to face him.

"Yes Aman. What you did was really wrong and you should never judge a person no matter what. I was really angry. But when I thought about it after cooling down I understood you said that because you care about me and don't want me to go on a wrong track. That's why you wanted to confront me. Right?"

Aman not wasting even a second nodded and said "Of course!" Kehara smiled.

"Your intentions were good Aman but your way was really wrong. Never do that again."

"I promise I won't!"

"Good. Now I have to go. Daddy is waiting for me. AllahHafiz."

Aman smiled and said "ALLAHHAFIZ!"

Aman was never so happy because someone accepted his Apology. But as Afzal said Kehara is special.

***

Kehara is narrating her and Aman's first fight to her friends Amy and Addy. They are sitting on a bench in their university cafeteria. They have extra class during vacations so they have to come university three times a week.

"How dare he!?" Amy shouted.

"What the hell does he think of himself!" Addy said angrily.

" calm down guys. He is not a bad guy. He is my brother's best friend so he was just worried for me."

"He is your brother's best friend not your brother!" Amy stated.

"Or is it like this brother's friend is a brother?" Addy asked.

"No nothing like that."

"Then why will he judge you?" Amy asked.

"He is not a bad guy. He is not your brother. Then why is he so protective?" Addy asked.

"He is not protective." Kehara said in a way which showed even she did not agree to it completely. Addy and Amy narrowed their eyes and Kehara looked down and said "I don't know!"

"Kehara we wanted to ask you one question from a really long time. If you don't mind can we?" Amy asked.

"Amy!" Addy warned Amy.

"Of course. Addy don't stop her."

"It is not important Kehara."

"I still want to know what she wants to ask Addy. Go ahead Amy."

Amy looked at Addy before saying.

"Nothing."

"Guys tell me now!"

"Kehara leave it." Amy said.

"No! Tell me now now now!?" Kehara demanded.

"Kehara please."

"No Amy. please tell me."

"Okay fine! Kehara do you like Aman?" Addy asked and Kehara's mouth dropped and her eyes are wide open .

"In all these years you have always talked about him. And the way you always defend him and you are always saying positive things about him. You don't generally talk about boys. So."Amy said.

Kehara instantly said "So? I talk a lot about Addy as well. Daddy and Bhai knows everything I know about him!"

"Yeah but they know for you I am like your brother. And I love you as a sister. And what!? Your father and brother knows everything about me!"

"Not everything of course. But many things because I'm always talking about you. And I don't talk about Aman at home."

"Exactly! You only talk about him when you are with us. And girl you talk a lot about him. That's the only reason we think maybe you like him." Amy said.

"Amy! Addy! No! I don't like him. I never thought about that before!"

"Maybe you like him but you have not realised it yet." Addy said. Kehara is starting the ground. Not able to respond to what her friend said.

"Kehara maybe it's just we over thinking. You don't have to worry about it." Amy said softly, rubbing Kehara's hand. Kehara is in shock because she never realised before that she talk a lot about Aman.

"Kehara! Come on don't stress so much. We are idiots. Forget what we said. And come let's go we will be late for our class." Addy said standing up and he started walking towards their class. Amy followed him. Kehara is still sitting there. After few minutes she stood up and started walking towards their class. Thinking only one thing. She has to stop talking to and about Aman.
