"NO!"

Sufyaan froze for a second. He was trying to understand what she said. He was confused, very confused. After few seconds he asked.

"What?"

"No! You are not going to do anything like that!" Zyva shouted.

"Zyva calm down."

"NO!" Zyva said, trying her best not to cry.

"What's wrong?"

"You Mr.Shaikh!  You!"

"Zyva you don't want me to se..?"

"No. Don't even say that."

"Why?" Sufyaan asked frowning.

"Because I hate you." Zyva said before leaving the house. 

Sufyaan stood there staring at the wall thinking about what Zyva just said. He was not expecting her to say she loves him but at least he was not expecting this. After few minutes Kehara came back. 

"Bhai what was that noise?"

"Nothing."

"Where is Noor and Zyva?"

"Zyva left." Sufyaan said looking into her eyes. Kehara frowned as she was confused why her brother looked hurt but she didn't ask anything.  After few seconds he left the room.

"Bhai where are you going? What happened?" Kehara asked but Sufyaan ignored her. Opening the main door he went to his car.

"Kehara what happened?" Noor asked when she came in the room.

"I don't know."

***

"Sufyaan." Aman said closing his eyes.

"How can you be so stupid Sufyaan?" Afzal asked. 

"At least now I know she hates me."

"Anyone will hate the person who gives them a heart attack."Aman said loudly.

"I will apologise her."

"Will that change anything? Zyva belongs to a very conservative Family. Noor told us that remember? How else do you expect her to react? I'm sure she was scared that her family will find out about this and that freaked her out." Aman asked.

"If you were dying to ask then we had her uncle here. Why did you do that to her?" Afzal asked.

"Afzal I never thought this will happen. I don't love seeing her cry." 

"I don't want to say anything. It's just useless." Afzal said.

"Sufyaan even you have a sister. You would have killed me if I had done something like that." Aman said.

"Exactly. Rules for Kehara is different just because she is your sister."Afzal said.

"What is wrong with you? You were the wise one. Why are you doing such weird stupid things? First Hamsa and now Zyva." Aman said.

"Enough now." Sufyaan said standing up,"I agree I did a stupid thing but why is no one thinking about me? After my mom's death this was the first time I allowed a girl to enter my life and heart and this is what happened. She screamed she hates me on my face. Unfortunately even I'm a human being and Some times my heart hurts."

Aman and Afzal kept quiet for some time but then Afzal said,

"Sufyaan listen..."

"Let it be Afzal. I don't want to talk about it." Sufyaan said before leaving the room.

Aman and Afzal looked at each other,

"Such a big mess." Afzal said.

"He is the one who created it."

"But he was right Aman. Even he is hurt."

"I know."

"I feel bad for him. After so many years he fell for someone and that girl hates him."

"I don't think she hates him."

"Why?" Afzal asked frowning.

"Her behaviour never said she hates him. And tell me why will she hate him? There is no reason."

"Then why did she say that?"

"Because Sufyaan scared her. She said whatever came in her mind at that moment."

"Maybe you are right. But how will this mess end?"

"I don't know."

***

After Sufyaan confessed his feelings Zyva came home crying. She cried that whole night. Sufyaan's confession complicated her problem more. She wanted to meet Noor and spend some time with her. But she didn't want to see Sufyaan ever again that's why she didn't leave the house after that day. Tomorrow is her flight and she cannot wait to go back home.

She was lying on her bed when Someone knocked the door. She looked at the door and the door slowly opened,

"Assalamu alayekum Zyva." Noor said coming in.

"Noor! Walekum assalam." Zyva said standing up.

Noor came and hugged her. Both of them had tears in their eyes. Leaving your best friend is one of the most difficult thing. They pulled away and Noor smiled.

"How are you?"Noor asked.

"Alhumdulillah."

"Where did you vanish that day?"

"I was feeling very emotional so I thought it was best to leave."

"Zyva I hate you."Noor said wiping her tears.

"First sit down then keep hating me."

Noor smiled before sitting on her bed. 

"When are you leaving tomorrow?"

"InshaAllah around ten."

"Ya Allah!"

"It's ok. InshaAllah we will meet again soon." Zyva said.

"InshaAllah."

 After few seconds of silence Zyva asked,"So when is your phuphu coming?"

"She is here but she will leave tonight."

"Oh."

"She has changed a lot. Her ego is still there but she changed. Her son's rude behaviour did this."

"That's sad."

"I know. But you get what you sow."

"I pray her son stops being rude to her."

"He is not rude anymore. But he is not ready to forgive her."

"It must be hard for him."

"Yeah."

They were silent for some time then Noor looked at Zyva. They don't have anything to talk but Noor wants to talk to her. She started thinking for a topic to talk.

"Thank God her son is not here." Noor said.

"Why?"

"He is so irritating! And egoistic! And rude!"

"Maybe that's because of his horrible childhood."

"Don't take his side."

"I'm not taking his side. I'm just stating the fact."

"It's the same thing."

"I'm sure he is scared of you which is why he didn't come."

"That human is not scared of me. But he is scared of dad."

"Why?"

"Actually last time he met my dad he was a drug addict and he was very rude to him. Then he realised that he is on a wrong track. And after that he never took drugs again."

"Then what is the problem?"

"He is still guilty of his act. He never met my dad after that day. Dad loves him a lot. For him he is equal to Aman bhai. He tried meeting him but he vanished somewhere every time."

"He respects your father a lot."

"Yeah that he do. But I don't like him!"

"Wow Noor Khan can also hate someone?"

"Yes! He and his super irritating best friend are exceptions. I hate Wildan and Zeeshan!"

Zyva smiled,"Noor hates someone?I wonder what they did."

"Mr. Best friend always use to tease me and Mr. cousin was always rude."

"It's ok Noor. Try to understand his situation. Parents were always fighting, Mom never thought about him and then dad left."

"Whatever it is. All I know is that he was rude to me."

"Now you are behaving like your aunt."

"No!" 

"Yes you are."

"This is what Mr. Best friend use to say! That's why I hate him. You want me to hate you?"

"Good to know someone is capable of irritating Noor." Zyva said smiling.

"He was not just irritating. He was super irritating! And why are we talking about them?"

"You started."

"Just stop it."Noor said

"Ok."

"Now get ready."

"Why?"

"Just do as I say."

"Noor I don't want to go anywhere."

"Zyva our group have planned a farewell party for you. They have worked really hard. don't do this to them."

Zyva stared at her with a frown for some time and then closed her eyes,"Fine."

"That's like my good girl! Now fast fast fast."

"But Noor I have packed everything."

"I know that."

"Then?"

"I have something for you." Noor said.

"What?"

"It's a gift. So don't refuse and just get ready."

"Ok."

Noor gave Zyva her gift and Zyva went to the bathroom to get ready. It was the dress Zyva wanted to buy few months back but it was not in her size. Zyva was very happy recovering the dress but thinking about leaving Noor made her sad. 

She got ready in fifteen minutes and then they left. Afzal and Yamina are hosting the party. Zyva was scared to meet Sufyaan. But as Noor said everyone worked really hard for the party so refusing to go was out of question. 

Soon they reached their destination. Zyva slowly started walking towards the door. Noor opened the door and they entered the house.

"You have keys of this house as well?"Zyva asked.

"Yamina gave it to me yesterday because she was busy at work and so was afzal but we had to prepare for this party." Noor said.

"Ok."

"Assalamu alayekum!" Everyone exclaimed together.

Zyva smiled," Walekum assalam." 

"We will miss you Zyva." Wafa said coming forward.

"Even I will miss you darling."Zyva said smiling.

"Crying session is in the end so please control till then." Noor said making everyone smile.

"Yes, it's time to enjoy." Eman said.

Sarah came forward and placed a crown on Zyva's head. 

"Our princess tonight." Kehara said.

"Ya Allah!" Zyva said smiling.

"Smile." Yalina said taking a picture.

"We are going to take so many pictures and look at me."Yasmin said frowning. 

"Who told you to get pregnant now?" Zulaikha asked.

Yasmin narrowed her eyes and everyone started laughing. Soon Men were on one side and women on the other side of the room. Zyva was laughing and enjoying but at the same time she was keeping an eye on the door. She was scared that Sufyaan will come any time. She was looking at the door when Aman said,

"Don't worry he is not coming."

Zyva was shocked and her eyes popped out.

"He is our best friend. We know everything."

"We?"

"How can you forget Afzal?"

Zyva smiled," Oh yes."

"Sorry from his side Zyva."

"Why are you sorry?"

"Because he is my brother."

Zyva smiled,"It's ok."

"Zyva I'm really sorry. He didn't do that deliberately. He is just little stupid that's it."

"It's ok sir."

"Sir? You are no more my employee so no more sir."

Zyva smiled,"Aman bhai?" 

"And I'm Afzal bhai now!" Afzal said coming towards them.

"Done!"

"So my dear sister come back soon." Afzal  said.

Zyva smiled,"I don't want to."

"We can understand." Aman said. 

"It was nice working with you all. I'm sure I will never get such amazing bosses again."

"And we will never get an employee like you again." Afzal said.

"If you ever open a branch in India I will surely work there."

"We appoint you as our employee!"Aman said.

Zyva smiled,"Thank you."

"Now enjoy your day. " Afzal said before leaving.

"Always stay happy." Aman said and left.

Zyva smiled and went to the girls.

"Zyva you will invite us to your wedding right?" Yalina said.

"Even if you don't invite us we will come!" Noor said. 

" I will surely invite you all." Zyva said.

"I will definitely come!" Wafa exclaimed.

"We all will come." Yamina said.

"Awesome." Zyva said making everyone smile.

"It's time to go girls." Yasmin said.

"Yeah." Zulaikha said sadly.

"I will miss you Zyva." Sarah said hugging her.

"We all will miss you." Eman said.

"I will miss you all too." Zyva said with tears in her eyes,"Jazaki Allahu khairan for your support. I love you all!"

"You won't forget us, right?" Wafa asked.

"That's impossible."

"Thank you so much Zyva for what you did for me and Afzal." Yamina said.

"No need to say thank you Yamina."

"Zyva you are one of the most beautiful girl I know. I will always pray for you." Kehara said.

"Kehara you are amazing. I will miss you a lot." Zyva said  with tears in her eyes.

"Zyva." Noor said and hugged Zyva.

Zyva hugged her back and cried a lot. 

"Don't cry Zyva." Yamina said. 

After few more minutes of crying they all took few pictures before leaving. Noor dropped Zyva home. Zyva kept all her gifts in a bag and closed it. All ready to leave.
