"That's not true Shaikh"

A voice interrupted us. We followed the direction of the voice and found a elderly man standing there. Dad might have left the door open when he came back home.

"Uncle please come in" Bhai said.

Okay so Bhai knows him. when he started to walk in we saw there were more than one person. There was a lady as well probably in her early 40's. She must be his wife.

"Sir what are you doing here?" Dad asked.

Who is he!!! Everyone is talking to them but not introducing me. Are we playing guess who? My confusion increased when Mr blue (Mr blue eyes was so big so I made it short) and Noor also came in. What's happening.

"You must be keraha" the lady said. I didn't know what to do so i just nodded. She came near me and put her hand on my shoulder and said.

" You are beautiful"

Some unknown lady is praising my beauty what was I suppose to do. Since the day I have come here confusion has become a common feature.

"Umm Thank you?"

It came out more like a question.

"Kehara this is my Boss Mr khan and she is his wife mehrunisa bhabhi" Dad said pointing towards the lady standing next to me.

"And they are their kids" Bhai said pointing towards Mr blue and Noor.

"I guess even we have names" Noor said

"Hi I'm Noor, you know it. And this is my elder brother Aman" Noor said which made all of us giggle.

"Hey Noor,How are you and why are you standing please sit. " I said pointing towards the couch which was empty.

Noor made a shocked expression and put her hand on her heart.

And as always I was confused.

"First time in this house someone asked me to sit so sweetly." Everyone laughed.

This girl is a drama queen. But I like her. I don't know why.

"Yeah that's because you being all shameless do not wait for someone to say that. When we all are greeting each other Noor is comfortably settled on the couch as if this house belongs to her." Mr blue said and everyone laughed again.

"Okay kids now stop and come everyone settle down I have a news." Mr khan said.

Dad and Mr khan where on one couch and Mrs khan was on the couch next to them. Bhai and Mr blue occupied the couch which was facing the couch where I and noor were sitting.

"Dad what's the news tell us fast. Is bhai getting married?" Noor asked and all looked to Mr blue. He was looking down to his phone and when Noor said that he looked up shocked.

"No I'm not" He literally screamed.

"Okay okay come back. So the news is I have promoted shaikh and now he is head Manager of our company" everyone's eyes lit up. Dad was going to say something but before he could say anything or before anyone could congratulate Dad and he said.

"And that's not because you are my friend and you always help me, no that's because you deserve it. Trust me."

"Yes uncle you deserve it. I have seen you working. Congratulations." Mr blue said

"Yes khurshid Bhai he is right mubarak." Mrs khan said.

"So we are here to celebrate shaikh's promotion. Aman and sufyaan take this and get some cakes,cookies,cold drinks and whatever you guys want." Mr khan said giving some money to bhai. He hesitated to take the money.

"Oh come on I'm the one who got promoted so it should be my treat." Dad said.

"We will take treat from you as well now it's my treat and it's final. I'm your boss obey me." Mr khan said trying to be serious. And we all laughed.

I'm so happy for my father. Probably the best news I heard in a year.

*****

We enjoyed a lot that night. Everything was perfect expect two things.

First I found out Mr blue lives just three house away and second I saw no one was behaving good with Mrs khan. Maybe I'm just over thinking but I found it odd when Mrs khan asked me about how my studies and I was explaining her the trouble I get with economics. Mr khan said she won't under it so don't take so much efforts to explain. I was literally shocked. Noor and Aman were okay with that comment That was weird but that was none of my business.It's their family matter.

By the way have I told you I forgot my keys today. So now I'm sitting outside my house. I'm so bored. I should call bhai.

"Why are you sitting outside?"

I looked up and saw Mrs khan smiling.

"Salam aunty. Actually I forgot my keys at home today. And bhai is not yet home."

"I guessed it right."

I gave her a confused look so she explained.

" When I saw you sitting here from my room's window I thought probably you forgot your keys.Come with me kehara for how long will you sit outside."

I hesitated first but bhai messaged me that it will take him another hour to come.

"Okay. Thank you"

"Oh come on you are like my own kids."

Her house! it's is so beautiful MashaAllah MashaAllah.

"What will you take tea or coffee?" Mrs khan asked.

"Nothing."

"oh come on don't be shy just say what will you have tea or coffee?" Mrs khan asked again.

"I'm not being shy but I don't drink tea or coffee."

"What? You just eat breakfast in the morning without tea or coffee? I can't eat anything without my morning tea. Even Noor and aman need their coffee before breakfast."

"That's because you have a habit of drinking tea or coffee first in the morning. My mom was just like me no tea no coffee."

"You are right. But I have never seen someone just eating breakfast without tea or coffee."

"Actually I don't even eat breakfast."

"What? Why?"

"I have to make breakfast for dad and bhai, clean the house, Get ready. Who has the time to eat."

"Oh you kids! Get up fifteen minutes early and eat!"

"I will try from tomorrow." I said with a smile.

Although I knew I won't do that but I didn't want to argue. She is my mom's age and my mom has taught me to always respect elders and never back answer or argue with them.

Noor had an extra class so she was not at home. It was quite awkward to go at your friends houses when she is not at home but I was kind of enjoying with mehrunisa aunty. She is an amazing lady. I'm sure if my mom was alive she would have become her best friend.

After 45 minutes of non stop talking we took a break when Noor called.

"But it will be dark in sometime. You should come before that. Yeah Noor but you can do that tomorrow as well. It's too late." mehrunisa aunty said a little worried.

"Noor, Noor listen. Hello hello Noor?"

I guess Noor disconnected the call. Aunty looked hurt. Even her eyes were watery when she kept the phone on the table.

"They need mom for cooking their favourite food, for doing all their work,to be their maid 24×7 but they don't want to respect her because they are ashamed of her." mehrunisa aunty said and before I could say anything Mr blue came in the kitchen. And as soon as she saw him she left and went in a room which I believe was her room and closed the door

He was confused and looked at the closed door for a good minute and then turned to me and said.

"Sufyaan is worried and looking for you outside your house. You should go."

I just nodded and left the house. I felt really bad for mehrunisa aunty. She is such a sweet lady and her kids are amazing as well. Their is definitely some misunderstanding between them.
