"I'm thinking something." Kehara said applying Moisturiser on her hand.

"What?" Aman asked typing something on his laptop. 

"What if Something happens between bhai and Zyva." 

Aman instantly looked up,"Did you talk to Afzal?"

"No. I was busy so I didn't really got time to talk to him. Except for when I was scolding him and Bhai for their amazing plate decoration. But why?"

"Ah nothing. What were you talking about Sufyaan and Zyva."

"I think they will make a cute couple. What do you think?"

"Well." Aman closed his laptop,"Sufyaan needs someone who has lot's of patience. You know how unapproachable  he can be at times. Letting someone in will be very difficult for him. So patience is a must. And I think Zyva has that so I think they are good for each other."

"Yes! But we don't know if that is possible or not. And I don't want to end up being sad. So no more thinking about this! Allah has better plans for all of us."

Aman smiled," You are so cute."

Kehara blushed which made Aman laugh. 

"Ok. Now sleep. We have to go to work tomorrow." Kehara said.

"I want break from work."

"What happened?" Kehara asked frowning.

"Nothing I'm just exhausted. It was almost a year ago when I was on leave and that was because of my accident."

"I know." Kehara said sitting next to him,"We started working three days after our Walima. We never went on a holiday together."

"Let's plan then."

"You know that is not possible. We both have important projects coming up."

"I know." Aman said closing his eyes.

"But inshaAllah we will go to Qailah's wedding! When was the last time you visited India?"

"Ah. I don't remember. I think some ten years ago."

Kehara raised her eyebrows,"Wow."

"But we have to wait six months for that."

"I know but we can't really help it."

"Yeah."

"I wish we were still small kids."

"I don't wish that."

"What?Why?" Kehara asked frowning.

"Because you were not a part of my childhood." 

Kehara looked at Aman and smiled slightly.

"what?"Aman asked smiling.

"I hate you."

"Uff. I love you too."

***

"So what's new sister?" Zynah asked.

"Work,Work and only work. And if I get time then studies." Zyva said picking up the book.

"You are the reason I'm scared of future.Tell me one thing even I have to work so much once I start working."

"Unfortunately yes."

"That's sad."

"I know. But if you love your work you will enjoy it."

"No more work related talks.Tell me when are you coming back?"

"My university ends in two months inshaAllah and this project will take some more time so let's say in three months."

"Three month!?That's far!"

"I know Zynu bee but what can we do?"

"I miss you so much. I will never let you go again."

"I will never leave you again Zynah . promise."

"Love you baji."

"Love you too Zynu.Now don't make me cry. You should sleep now. It's late there."

"Yeah. Bye AllahHafiz.Take care."

"Bye AllahHafiz and Good night."

Zyva disconnected the call and kept the phone in her bag before leaving for university.

After university she went to office. This was her daily routine. Her schedule is very hectic but she loves it.She was busy working when Sufyaan came out of his room and was going to Aman's room. But he saw Zyva and went near her,

"Zyva I have mailed you next week's schedule. Check it and let me know whether it is affecting your university or studies. If yes then I will change."

"ok. Thank you sir."Zyva said smiling

Sufyaan smiled and left. Zyva checked the schedule and then decided to pray Asr. She prays on the terrace of the office buliding. It's quiet and calm there. No one to disturb. Only Zyva with her Allah. After ten minutes she came back and started working on the file which she needs to submit today.

After some time she was done. She went to Sufyaan's cabin and knocked the door. She could hear a female voice which was familiar. Her eyes widened when she realised who it was. 

Afzal opened the door,"Zyva! come in sister."

Zyva smiled at him and then looked inside. She raised her eyebrows and smiled seeing Noor,Kehara,Aman along with Sufyaan in the room.

"I will come later. I just came here to give the file."Zyva said looking at sufyaan.

"Zyva do you have any other work now?" Noor asked.

"No."Zyva said shaking her head.

"Awesome then come in."

Zyva slowly shook her head in a no making Noor frown. 

"Zyva come in. Your work is done so employee mode off and Group mood on."Afzal said smling.

Zyva smiled but stayed in the same position. 

"Bhai you tell her. She will listen to you." Kehara said.

"Come in Zyva." Sufyaan said slowly.

Zyva nodded and came in. Afzal closed the door and followed her. She sat next to Noor and Afzal sat on Sufyaan's desk.

"Oh. Sir file."Zyva passed the file to Sufyaan.

"Thank you."

"Ok, So back to our discussion.Where were we?" Noor asked.

"Afzal just told us that they are changing the date of their Nikah."Kehara said.

"Yes. Why Afzal?"Noor asked.

"Because Yamina's grandparents are here and they will leave soon. So Yamina wants to do her Nikah before that."

"Grandparents changing wedding dates since forever." Aman said and eveyone laughed.

"Zyva you understood what he meant?" Afzal asked.

"Yes. Noor is my friend for two years now and you know how talkative she is. I know everything."

Everyone laughed again. 

"So what is the new date?"Sufyaan asked.

"We are yet to decide that." Afzal said.

"Still you must be having few dates in your mind."

"I'm thinking 16th of next month."

"No!" Kehara shouted immediately.

"Why? Its your first anniversary that day."

"Exactly. You cannot steal our day."

"But it's sunday."

"No means no! I'm not allowing you Afzal." Kehara said strictly.

"Fine."

"Good."

"Then when?" Noor asked. 

"I don't know but within three weeks InshaAllah. You all have to help."

"As if we would have not done that without you saying it."Sufyaan said rolling his eyes.

"Thank you. Zyva!" Afzal exclaimed looking at Sufyaan.

"Yes?"

"Even you have to work. If you won't mind of course."

"Mind? She loves wedding planning. She is the one who plans everyone's wedding in her family. Right Zyva?" Noor asked.

Zyva smiled,"Yes. I love doing that."

"Then you are our wedding planner." 

Zyva's smile instantly dropped,"But I'm not a professional."

"You will become professional if you work. So start from my wedding."

"But why are you risking your Wedding? What if something goes wrong?"

"I have full confidence on you sister."Afzal said smiling.

Zyva smiled, "But I'm not sure."

"Don't worry Zyva. We will help you." kehara said.

"Yes! We will all work under you."

"Yes and anyway Yamina was searching for a planner. Go for it. Even if something goes wrong which I'm sure won't happen, I won't mind."

"So it's final. Zyva is the wedding planner!"Noor excalimed.

Zyva smiled but it vanished in few seconds,"But our project." she said looking at Sufyaan, "Right after the wedding I will go on a study leave."

"I don't think that is a problem. We will complete everything soon and a small part that will be left,we will do that after your exams. We get a month after your exams to work. That would be more than enough."

Zyva smiled instantly,"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Sufyaan said smiling.

Afzal raised his eyebrow and looked at Aman who smiled. 

"So now the main objective of this board meeting is over. We can have random discussions now." Afzal said.

***

"Ya Allah I'm so happy Chachu!"Zyva exclaimed.

"Alhumdulillah." Rahemat said smiling. 

"I have so many ideas! I love Noor so much."

Rahemat laughed,"MashaAllah you look beautiful smiling. Always keep smiling."

Zyva smiled broader."Chachu.You will at least come for Qailah's wedding right?"

"I don't know Zyva."

"Chachu you cannot do this.You know how close she is to you."

"I know. But."

"Come on chachu. How long will you punish us."

Before Rahemat could reply Zyva's phone started ringing. She frowned seeing an unknown number. She answered the call,

"Hello?"

"Assalamu alayekum Zyva. Yamina here."

"Walekum assalam Yamina." Zyva narrowed her eyes at Rahemat and then left the room. She started walking towards her room,"How are you?"

"Alhumdulillah. How about you?"

"Alhumdulillah as well."

"That's great. Actually Noor called me and said that Afzal appointed you as our wedding planner."

"Yeah. I hope you don't mind."

"Why will I mind?"

"Jazaki Allahu Khairan."

"Wa iyaki. So as tomorrow is a holiday all girls are meeting at my place. Why don't you join us. We will also discuss few things.If you are free."

Zyva opened her room door, "Yes, I'm free."

"Perfect. So you are coming?"

"Yes InshaAllah."

"Yay! Jazaki Allahu Khairan for your help Habibti. Means a lot."

"There is no need to thank me Yamina. I would always love to help you. So tomorrow what time?"

"Eleven InshaAllah."

"Ok, I will be there by eleven inshaAllah." 

"Ok then see you tomorrow InshaAllah."

"InshaAllah. AllahHafiz." 

"AllahHafiz Zyva."

Zyva disconnected the call smiling widely. She took a pen and a paper and started writing all the ideas in her head. She is positive that eveything will be go well. Probably very well.

***

Next Morning Zyva did all her work fast and got ready by 10:30. She was going to leave the house when Noor called her.

"Where are you?"Noor asked as soon as Zyva answered the call.

"Walekum assalam." Zyva replied.

"Assalamu alayekum. Now say where are you?"

"Walekum assalam and I'm at home. Why?"

"Cool. I will pick you. Come out in five minutes."

"Oh ok."

"Fine. AllahHafiz."

"AllahHafiz."

Zyva disconnected the call. She went and checked if all the windows are closed or not. Then after five minutes she locked the main door and came out.Soon noor came.

"I love all the ideas." Noor said reading the paper on which Zyva wrote all the ideas.

"Really? Be honest Noor. Are they even ok?"

"Ok? They are fantastic."

"Promise?"

"Promise Zyva."

Zyva smiled making Noor smile, "I'm appointing you as my wedding planner!"

Zyva laughed, "I won't be here then but I will surely try to come for your wedding."

"Where are you going?"

"Home."

"India?"

"Yup."

"Why?"

"Because my parents, Family, friends everybody are there."

"Zyva even we are your friends."

"Noor I already told you about my promise to my father and how my family is. If I stay here after my exams everyone will doubt me. I can bare anything but my parent's insult. I will leave soon after my exams."

"Fine."  Noor said looking away from her.

"Noor. Don't be sad. I don't have any choice."

"You always have a choice Zyva."

"It's easy to say but very difficult to do."

"I don't care." 

"Noor please. We still have three months. Let's enjoy it. Allah knows then when we will meet after that."

Noor looked at Zyva with tears in her eyes. 

"Hey. I'm here now. Why are you worried about future? Let's enjoy today and forget about future."

Noor smiled slightly, "You are right."

"Good. Now come on cheer up. See we reached Yamina's house."

Noor wiped her tears before coming out of the car. Zyva ringed the door bell upon reaching the door.

"Salam." Wafa said opening the door.

"Walekum assalam Wafa sweetie."Noor said. 

"Come in fast. We are enjoying so much."Wafa said.

Noor and Zyva entered the house and Wafa took them to where everyone were sitting.

"Assalamu Alayekum."Noor and Zyva said.

"Walekum assalam." everyone replied.

"Hey I forgot to tell. Zyva is our wedding planner."Yamina said.

"Wow really?" Yasmin asked.

Zyva nodded.

"Come and sit girls." Zulaikha said.

"Zyva sat next to Kehara and Noor sat with Sarah and Eman on the floor to play with Yamina's cat. 

"How are you Zyva?" Kehara asked.

"Alhumdulillah I'm good. What about you?"

"Alhumdulillah as well." 

"Let's start working. We have to decide everything." Yamina said.

"Afzal isn't deciding anything?" Sarah asked.

"Men are good for nothing. I remember what yusuf did at our wedding. After that I promised myself to never let any other man ruin his wedding." Yalina said. 

"Yalina you are overreacting. It was not that bad." Yasmin said.

"Whatever." Yalina said crossing her arms.

"Well she is right. I love Afzal and his choice but I want my wedding day to be perfect. So."Yamina said looking down.

"You are feeling guilty for no reason.We are just deciding eveything Afzal will work on that." Eman said. 

"Yeah but still. It's not just my Big day."

"I'm sure he won't mind you deciding everything Yamina." Zyva said.

"I agree." Kehara said.

"He is not even deciding a small thing?" Noor asked.

"Well I gave him the work of deciding about food. Just like us even they all are meeting today."

"They won't even decide that properly." Yalina said. 

"We will discuss that later. Now let's do our work." Yamina said.

"Yeah so from where to start Ms. planner?" Kehara asked.

"Colour scheme."

***

"Help!" Afzal shouted.

"Afzal! We are not deaf." Sufyaan scolded.

"How can we help you Afzal?" Yunus asked.

"Yamina told me to decide menu for the wedding."

"That's easy." Adnan said.

"Yeah. How much time will it take to decide about something we all love." Yusuf said.

"Hardly five minutes." Azhar said.

"You will keep Pizza right?" Dawood asked.

"And coke?" Rashid asked.

"It's my wedding not my birthday party kids."

"What do you want Afzal?" Aman asked.

"Ah. I don't know to be honest."

"Come on there has to be at least one thing in your mind." Sufyaan said.

"All I know is there has to be few Afghani dishes. Or else my mom will cancel the wedding."

"You are the only Afghan here. So only you can decide that." Sufyaan said. 

"There will be few Egyptian dishes as well."Yunus said.

"You are Egyptian here. And you are her brother so add anything she likes." 

"I will ask her about that." Yunus said.

"And Afghani food will be decided by my mother." Afzal said.

"Then what is left?" Aman asked.

"I think that would be all. Then few things like ice cream, cake, shawarma are fixed."Afzal.

"So we are done I think." Sufyaan said.

"See it didn't even took five minute for us to decide."Azhar said.

"So now let's play basketball." Sufyaan said standing up.
