It's not edited properly as I was busy. But I wanted to update today! So ignore all mistakes and change * with Valiqa if I forgot to change. Enjoy:)

Zyva picked up her phone which was ringing and kept it on her ear without checking the caller id as she was busy studying.

"Zyva I have sent you few questions send me their answers fast!"

Zyva turned the page before saying, "Assalmu Alayekum Noor. And ok."

"Walekum assalam.Done with management?"

"No. But almost done."

"MashaAllah! I don't know what I will write tomorrow in the paper."

"Don't be sad Noor. We still have a lot of time. You can do this. If you need any help message me. Even Kehara or your brother can help you."

"Yeah I know. Ok now bye. Don't forget to send the answers."

"Yeah. AllahHafiz."

"AllahHafiz."

Zyva disconnected the call and continued studying. It has been two weeks since she realised her feelings. As Sufyaan gave her study leave for her exams she didn't see him after the wedding. She decided to forget about it for now and concertante on exams. But she is scared of what will happen after that.

Their project is still not over so they have to work together for few weeks.She has no idea how she will work with him. She wants to go back home as soon as possible. 

Zyva looked at the time in her phone. She left the room and went to the kitchen to get some water. She smiled at her uncle who was sitting on the dinning table.

"Salam Chachu."Zyva said going towards the fridge.

"Walekum assalam. Ready for tomorrow?"

"Ah. Almost."Zyva opened the fridge and took a bottle out

"Don't worry. InshaAllah you will do well." 

"InshaAllah."

"Come eat something."

"No Chachu. I have a lot to revise."

"It's ok. But eat first."

"No chachu."

"Zyva. Come fast."

When Zyva realised he won't let her go without eating she nodded and sat down on the chair.

"Fine. But fast fast."

"You will eat slowly."Rahemat said strictly.

"You remind me of Ammi."

Rahemat smiled,"You cannot compare anyone with your mother. No one can be like her."

"I agree. I miss her."

"Zyva for you it has only been two years. And for me it's more than twenty five years. Have you ever thought what I go through?"

"And I don't understand how you did that."

"I was very upset with everyone and with life. And also It was best to leave that place for her."

Zyva hesitated at first but then asked,"Who was she Chachu?"

Rahemat looked at her,"Why do you want to know? "

"Just curious. We have only heard that there was a girl. Who? We don't know. We don't even know her name."

"That was for her. She is our relative."

Zyva's eyes widened, "What?"

"Yeah."

"Still Dadijaan rejected her?"

"Your grandma can do anything. She wants everything according to her."

"Ya Allah."

Rahemat raised his eyebrows for a second. They were quiet for some time. Zyva looked at him and then slowly said,

"She loved you?"

Rahemat looked at her and then nodded,"Yeah
Although she never told me. But it was understood. We didn't have an afraid but we knew each others feelings."

"Then?"

"Then it was my responsible to send my parents to her house. So I told my parents. My father was ok. But Mom? She wanted me to marry her niece. She was not ready at any cost. So one day I met her and said that we can run away and live happily. But we won't be able to live peacefully knowing that our family is sad. We cannot play with our family's reputation. So we cannot get married. She smiled with tears in her eyes and said I knew you would say that. And then she left. I never saw her again. She got married after few months. I hope she is happy wherever she is."Rahemat said smiling but tears in his eyes.

Even Zyva started tearing up. She was unable to talk for sometime then said, " Chachu I'm sorry."

Rahemat wiped his tears and smiled, "it's ok love."

Zyva smiled weakly. After some time Zyva stood up and kept their plates in the sink. She cleaned the table and was about to leave the kitchen when Rahemat asked

"You want to know who she was?" Zyva turned around and didn't say anything. Rahemat smiled ,"She was Rabia Baji's sister." Zyva widened her eyes, "kehara and Sufyaan's aunt."

Sufyaan took his bag and looked in the mirror for the last time and left his room. He went to Nani's room. But it was empty. He knows where excalty she will be. Kitchen!

And he was right. She was standing there making breakfast.she smiled at him,

"Assalamu Alayekum." Nani said.

"Walekum assalam Nani."

"Just two minutes. Your breakfast is ready."

"Nani how many more times should I say.You don't have to do this.Why can't you sit peacefully?Why is work so important?"

"Tell me what will happen to a machine if you don't use it for a long time?"

"It won't work properly and then eventually it will stop working."

"Excalty. That's how human body is. Now take this and eat." Nani said giving him his plate.

"Where is your breakfast?"

" I will do later."

"Ok."

Nani sat down next to him and said," Sufyaan please book my ticket. "

Sufyaan frowned, "But why Nani? Please stay for some more days."

"It has already been more than four months Sufyaan."

"Nani."

"Sufyaan please."

"Fine. But next month."

"Sufyaan."

"No Nani! That's final! Now I have to go. Bye AllahHafiz." Sufyaan said standing up.

"Sufyaan listen."

But before Nani could say anything Sufyaan left the house. Getting in the car he started driving towards his office. After some time he reached the office. He was walking towards his room when his phone started ringing. He smiled after seeing the name.

"Assalmu Alayekum Khalajaan!" Sufyaan exclaimed.

"Walekum Assalam Suffu."

"Uf! When are you planning to stop calling me that?"

"InshaAllah never!"

Sufyaan smiled shaking his head," How are you? "

"Alhumdulillah. And you my baby nephew?"

Sufyaan opened his cabin door,"Your baby nephew who is twenty seven years old is fine Alhumdulillah! "

"Alhumdulillah. How is my baby?"

"Kehara? She is fine. Your question should be how is poor Aman."

Valiqa smiled,"How is my mom? And your dad?"

"Everyone is fine! The Whole America is fine. Alhumdulillah."

"That's great! Now tell me when is Ammi coming back?"

"InshaAllah next month."

"Next month? Why?"

"Because that's when I will let her go."

"Fine but next month is fixed! Don't change the date again. I'm missing her."

"Oh yes Nani is here that means you are all alone."

"Yes. So please send her back."

"InshaAllah next month. Or we can do one thing."

"What?"

"You come here."

"Sufyaan you know how much I hate America."

"But you can come for us. For your baby nephew and your Baby doll."

"I love you and Kehara a lot. Even more than I would have loved my own children if they were real.  But no."

"But why?"

"Sufyaan it's 12 here so I should sleep now. InshaAllah I will call you later."

"Fine don't answer. Bye AllahHafiz and take care."

"AllahHafiz. Take care of my nephew."

Sufyaan disconnected the call smiling widely.He sat down on his chair and started working. After some fifteen minutes someone knocked the door.

"Come in."

"Good morning Sufyaan." Ms. Bella said coming in.

"Good morning Ms.Bella." Sufyaan said smiling.

"Wow. Someone is happy."

Sufyaan started laughing and Ms. Bella sat down on the chair across from him.

"No. I'm always like this."

"Sufyaan. My dear adopted son and boss I know you very well. So don't try to fool me. And you are like this always? There was a time I use to think that you have some skin disease due to which you cannot smile."

"What really?"

"Yes really."

"Wow. That's.." Sufyaan thought for sometime,trying to find a perfect word.

"Sad." Ms. Bella said.

"Weird."

"Well it is sadly weird."

Sufyaan raised his eyebrows and said,"Anyways tell me what happened? "

"Nothing. I just want your signature on few documents."

"Oh ok."

Sufyaan signed all the documents and gave them back to Ms.Bella.

"We are almost done with the project. We  can complete it in a weeks time if you want."

"That's great but Zyva is not here."

"Yeah I know. But we don't really require her here. We can do it."

"No I think we should wait for her."

"Ok if you say so."

"We still have a lot of time so there is no harm in waiting."

"Yes." Ms.Bella said smiling.

"Why are you smiling?"

"Nothing."

"Ms. Bella."

"Nothing son. I have lots of work do to so Bye."

"Fine. Bye."

Ms. Bella left the room smiling leaving behind confused Sufyaan.

***

"Valiqa Khala called today." Sufyaan said putting rice in his plate.

"Oh. What did she say?" Nani asked.

"She told me to send you back."

Nani smiled,"It's time Sufyaan. "

"You are going next month and that is final."

"Fine."

Khurshid smiled,"Ammi please stay for some more time."

"Four months were not enough?"

"No." Sufyaan said.

"Sufyaan dear I will come back as soon as you decide to get married."

"Nice trick. You think I will get married just so that you don't leave?"

"It's not a bad idea." Sufyaan thought.

"It was worth a try." Nani said smiling.

"How is Valiqa?" Khurshid asked Sufyaan

"Alhumdulillah she is fine." Sufyaan said.

"Alhumdulillah. It has been such a long time since we last talked." Khurshid said.

"You are busy in your work and She is busy in her life."Nani said.

" Next time you both are coming here."Sufyaan said.

"InshaAllah." Khurshid said.

Nani smiled. "Ok."

"By the way Nani I don't understand her unreasonable hate for America."

Nani looked at Sufyaan and after few seconds said,"Hate is a big word Sufyaan. She just don't want to come."

"But why?"

"She hates leaving her house and you know that."

"It's all because of." Sufyaan stopped mid sentence and looked at Nani who was looking at him.

"We are going for Qailah's wedding. We can go together." Khurshid said changing the topic.

"No! My granddaughter is getting married. I have to go and check all preparations!"

"Don't say that when kehara is near. That jealous bean will get upset."

"She is not jealous of anyone. You know she is possessive. But that does not mean she hates anyone." Khurshid said.

"Yeah I know. I'm just saying."

"I will take Kehara with me! Then she can come back with you both."

"Kehara will happily go. But Aman will go crazy. That idiot behaves like a Romeo and I hate that. I will end up killing him." Sufyaan said and they both laughed.

"Alhumdulillah Aman is such a nice husband. Now I feel happy that Noman married Shazia instead of her. He is nothing when compared to Aman." Nani said.

Sufyaan's smile dropped,"He is a jerk."

"Sufyaan!" Khurshid scolded.

Sufyaan looked down but Still had an angry expression.

"Sufyaan forgive them for what they did." Nani said.

"That's impossible for me Nani."

"Sufyaan dear how will you ask forgiveness from Allah when you cannot forgive people. Forgive them for Allah." Nani said.

Sufyaan thought for few seconds then shaking his head said,"Hmm."

"How is Afzal?" Khurshid asked.

"Happiest man on earth!" Sufyaan said.

"Alhumdulillah." Nani said smiling.

"Wife makes you the happiest man on earth. Only if some people can understand." Khurshid said.

Sufyaan raised his eyebrows and looked at him,"I don't want to know what that means."

Khurshid shook his head,"Great."

"Now you two sit and talk I will go." Sufyaan said standing up.

"Eat your food." Nani scolded.

"I'm done."

Sufyaan kept his plate in the sink and left the room smiling. Coming in his room he sat on the bed.

He cannot stop thinking about his future life. Life with Zyva. Although he was not ready to accept his feelings earlier. But our faster than light Sufyaan accepted it in few hours. Now he is waiting for Qailah's wedding. Earlier he was going to asked her uncle. But he thought when he has a chance to ask her parents directly then he should do that instead of talking to her uncle.

But future is not what you plan but what is written.
