CHAPTER 47: HAPPINESS.

SHEHRY'S POV

"Wo jesi bhi hea; pagal hea, nak chirhi hea, ziddi hea mager bivi hea meri Hussain! At least honour this fact man"

"Yar I do! don't tell me tu mujhey ghalat samjh raha hea" he made a face complaining and I sighed helplessly, moving a hand through my hair as I sat down on the bed, holding my phone.

'If you do then why the hell you asked Mom to talk to me about getting married?" I asked annoyed and he pouted.

"kitni shaidyan karoon ga mein yar? baksh de mujhey" I added literally feeling messed up and he suddenly chuckled a little making me roll my eyes.

"Yar! Mom was suggesting that Ayesha girl for you, dad is quite serious too and ...

"Ayesha? Wo terey wali?' my eyes popped out.

"Astaghfirullah! Mere wali ka nam Ayesha nai hea....." Hussain almost shouted and I rolled my eyes at his over over acting.

"Dad was serious about her for you a month back and now he wants me to be the qurbani ka bakra? NO WAY HUSSAIN!" my voice raised and Hussain gave a short nod.

"Hea kon ye Aesha jis ki itni fikr hea Mom Dad ko? Apney sarey betey perfect lagtey hen us k liye" I added annoyed and Hussain chuckled shaking his head.

"Hum to kisi k liye bhi perfect ho saktey hen yar....we are totally

"But I don't want to get perfect for anyone else now Hussain! Shadi ker li hea mein ne" I cut him through seriously as he kept on boasting. "If nobody else atleast you should understand my position' I added and he let a breath out sighing a little.

"I understand Shehry! ub tu poori bat suney ga ya bakwas kerta rahe ga Saley?" he gave me a shut up call.

"Mom talked to me about Ayesha and trust me if I wouldn't have stopped her she would have said a yes for this shadi thing" he started saying and I remained silent as he went on.

"I asked her to talk to you first and ask if you are even willing for this or not, you won't believe but it took all my acting skills to stop her from saying a yes to Ayesha's parents." He added, popping his eyes out.

Pedaaishii adakaar hea Sala!

"And now she wants me to say a yes, hun dus ki karan?" I blurted out.

"Tell her the truth" he shrugged his shoulders and I just wanted to punch his nose.

"In fact I thought when Mom will talk to you about this, you will tell her the truth but you didn't" he made a face at the end.

"I will Hussain! I will..."

"I know you will Shehry!" he cut me in the middle. "but just keep in mind, sometimes waiting too long means skipping the right time" he stated and I remained silent, still uncertain.

"And one thing more" I looked up at his face. "no matter what Mom or Dad or the whole world gonna react to your decision Shehry! I am always there to support you, to support whatever you did. So just relax, and now, when you have started your life, start it with a smile man! please!" I just stared his face as he kept on saying and a smile appeared on my lips.

"I know you do" I replied lowly.

"Abey to theek se bol na phir....kia lerkiyon ki terha mee mee kerney laga hea Saley!" He scolded me and I laughed.

"lagta hea ye Heer bhabi ne teri bolti band kara di hea, milna parey ga in se ub to" he added mischievously and I shook my head still smiling.

"Wesey, tell me how is she? ek maheena ho gaya hea teri shadi ko yar" he asked keeping his voice low and I furrowed my eyebrows thinking...how is she?

How is she?

"Aye haye bari muskurahatein bikhar gai honto per.....sadqy jaoon" he flaunted and I rolled my eyes literally smiling.

"Don't even think crap okay" I warned him raising my eyebrow and he chuckled.

"And Heer is good...achi hea" I said casually and he narrowed his eyes. "thori pagal si hea, just loves fighting all the time..." I chuckled myself.

"Chalo it means she is normal, every wife wants to fight" Hussain replied and I laughed.

"Chal milwata hoon tujh se....ruk!" I stated and got up from the bed, walking towards the door of my room. "she must be in the kitchen loves being there all the time, trying weird food stuff for Rehmat" I told him and he chuckled.

"Bechari meri masoom si bachi..." I joked and he chuckled.

"Rehmat! Kha lo meri jan! na tang karo Amaa ko, itney kam hen abhi humein" I walked towards the kitchen when I heard her voice.

"See? told ya!" I looked down at Hussain and he smirked.

"Bari achi tera jan'ney nai laga hea bhabi ko ek he maheeney mein?' he stated smirking. "love shove ho gaya hea kia bhai ko merey?" he added with a smug.

"Bakwas na ker ziada...moo torr doon ga aa ker tera Harami!

"Shehryar!" I was in the door frame when she called my name gasping and I looked up at her face, she was frowning hard at me.

"Harami kise kaha ap ne?' she asked...no she scolded me actually. "ap ko pata hea kitni bari gali hea ye?" she added firmly and I peeked down at the screen, Hussain was smirking at me and I rolled my eyes.

"Heer! mein gali nai de raha tha....

"Acha? Hum ooncha suntey hen na? kan kharab hen hamarey" she pressed a fake smile and I rolled my eyes as she got up from the chair.

"Shehry! yar maan le bhabi ki bat na diya ker itni galiyan mujhey, indirect tujhey bhi lagti hen sari' Suddenly Hussain spoke loud and Heer's eyes went wide as she took a step back from me, I looked down at the screen holding my grin as she looked at my mobile in horror.

"Who...who is this?" she stuttered.

"Harami...umm I mean Hussain, my brother" I told her.

'Assalam-o-alaikum Bhabi!" Hussain greeted loud cheerfully as I turned the screen towards her and she blinked her eyes, embarrassed.

"Wa-Walaikum Assalam!" she pressed a smile, her face flushed as she glanced between me and the screen.

"Kesi hen ap?" Hussain asked and I handed her the phone, as I picked up the little pink Minnie mouse bowl and started feeding Rehmat her leftover cerelac.

"He wanted to talk to you" I told her.

"Alhamdulilah! Hum theek hen, Ap sunaiye" she asked...politely?

Piyar se bhi bat kerti hea kisi se....?

"Am perfect as always" Hussain replied.

"Wesey bhabi! Don't mind han...my brother is little crank up there" He stated mischievously and she smiled looking up at me for a second before looking back at him.

"Mager dil ka shezaada hea mera bhai" Hussain added and Heer looked at me, I made a boastful face and she rolled her eyes looking back on the screen.

"Ji bilkul. Sahee kaha ap ne" she stated and my eyes widened in utmost shock as she agreed with him, but the moment I notice the sarcasm on her face I understood the reason behind the smile..

"Shehzadey he hen ap k bhai...shehzadon wali zindagi he guzar rahe hen. koi kam waqt per nai kerty, koi cheez jaga per nai rakhtey" she started counting and I raised my eyebrow, Hussain must be enjoying at the moment. I so know this bakri.....

"Ek moza bedroom mein utartey hen to doosra washroom mein para milta hea humein, ek ghantey awazen detey hen tab ja ker jagtey hen, or khaney mein to poochiye he mat....ye wali sabzi nai khatey wo wali daal nai khatey, bilkul shehzadon wali herkatein hen ap k bhai ki MashaAllah!" she kept on blabbering with a smile on her face and I just stood there with my hand over my waist and inside cursing myself for letting her talk to Hussain, who was now in fits of laughter.

Sali izzat ka falooda ker dala.

"Oh my God! Bhabi you seriously know him well han!" Hussain stated in between laughing and I rolled my eyes, stepping towards her.

"Ker li gheebat? (back biting) Mil gaya sakoon? Tum aurton ka to fuel hota hea gheebat kerna....thand per gai ho gi, hea na?" I almost snatched the phone from her hand and she rolled her eyes.

"Gheebat is what you do at the back, on the contrary I was stating facts on your face" she corrected me and I jerked my head disapprovingly.

"or tu Saley! Dandiyan na kad ziada, mein phone ton ghuss k chaper lani hea teri boothi te" I scolded him and he chuckled.

"It was lovely talking to you Bhabi! Ub jaldi se aa jaiye ghar...Amreeeeka" Hussain stated and Heer smiled uncertainly.

"Nice talking to you too Hussain!" she replied with a smile, though the phone was now in my hand.

"Chal buhat ho gaya Lovely lovely....." I said making a face as I stepped out of the kitchen and heard Heer giggling at my back.

"Yar Shehry! Bhabi is really sweet and kinda cute, tu bekaar mein unhen saroo, boring or bad dimagh or pata nai kia kia keh raha tha" Hussain said rather loud on purpose and I turned my head a little, finding her staring in my direction with a frown on her forehead.

"Shut up!" I looked down at him again and he smirked.

"She heard that? Yeah?" he asked in a naughty way and I started walking towards the sofa.

"You are grounded now Shehry! tu gaya kam se beta!" he added and I chuckled as I sat down.

"Am counting the chitters han! Aa janey de wapas gin gin ker juttiyan maroon ga tujhey Harami!" I stated despite the smile on my face and he laughed a loud.

"Heer bhaaaabi! Shehry ne dobara mujhey gaali diiiiiiiiiiiii" Hussain screamed like a little kid and I rolled my eyes, as Heer literally came out from the kitchen holding Rehmat in her arms.

"Bakwas band ker...Heer bhabi k bachey!" I made a face as he kept on smiling cheekily. "Chal rakhta hoon,or sun! don't get extra chummy chummy with Maheen in that musical night, understand?" I tried to become strict and he rolled his eyes.

"Teri breakein fail hen pata hea mujhey" I added looking at Heer who was ignoring me completely still frowning. "bat pakki hui hea siraf nikah nai hua...control kareen" I added and he chuckled.

"wesey lagta hea tu ne bhi control kiya hua hea abhi tak" he smirked at me and I literally got frozen in my place as I looked up and found her as startled and flushed as I was at the moment, she awkwardly looked away with her face fuming red and I gulped down before glaring back at him, who was holding his laughter.

"Chaper na kha leen merey hathon" I gritted my teeth and he sheepishly pressed a grin.

"Okay barey bhaiyaa! I will take care" he replied all obediently and I smiled at his gesture, we hung up and I quickly got up was about to leave, she didn't even stop me.

Kuch kaha nai...kuch sunaya nai? Unexpected..... I thought and my feet halted in my track, I turned a little and caught her looking at my direction but she hurriedly looked down at Rehmat's face.

Sorry keh de...kia jaye ga tera Shehry!

"Listen!" I walked back towards her scratching my brow and she looked up at my face, before she could bombard me with anything I tried to open my mouth but she got up from the couch crossing her arms over her chest.

"Yeah am listening, kahiye" I don't know why but the way she stared at my face made me..... shut up.

"Wo... Hussain was just kidding okay" I stated awkwardly.

'Nai nai gheebat to hum aurtein kerti hen" she stated sarcastically and I mentally rolled my eyes.

Ho gai shuroo..starting this talk was the worst idea Shehry! ub sambhal.

"you men are just perfect...completely flawless, doodh k dhuley hotey hen ap mard to, right?" she added in the same tone and I opened my mouth for countering but nothing came out so I shut it back, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Kia soch rahe hon ge wo hamarey barey mein" she said suddenly, with a lot of complaint in her voice and I frowned.

Wo?....kon wo?

Oh! Hussain.....itni izzat na do yar usey, bakri hea meri I thought.

"He must be thinking that am a bad kind of a wife who can't even take care of his brother who is living here, far away from his home" she blurted out grumpily with a pout on her face and I helplessly let a breath out.

Na suney gi na samjhey gi...bus boley chaley jaye gi, Sherni!

"Heer! he was joking yar! and moreover...why are you so worried about what he would think?" I shrugged my shoulders and she frowned. "just chill...and forget about

"Chill? Are you even serious?" she cut me through at once.

"Bhai hen wo ap ke...perta hea humein ferk wo kia sochen ge kia naheen" she added seriously and I just remained silent looking at her face, showing concern.

"if you don't like anything about me or you have any complaint, tell me...not to anyone else" she said but I felt my mind was struck somewhere else.

"Humein ferk perta hea ap k ghar waley kia sochtey hen hamare barey mein Shehryar!' she added honestly, as she looked away from my face. "you just don't know how embarrassing this is for me" she said lowly, she looked offended.

That concern, those words...reminded me of something, something I had forgotten long ago. I felt a stab in my heart and I gulped down as something flashed across my mind.

"But why Melbourne yar?"

"Because I just love the place Shehry! come on....its even not far from NewYork"

"Yeah I know Sara! But...but my family is here and

"Oho Shehry! stop being such a Mama's boy, we are getting married....gonna start a new life, don't you think you should be worrying bout our family now"

"And Asif uncle and Aunty are shifting to Texas"

"Yeah! but Sain to yaheen hea na"

"Hussain is not a kid Shehry! stop treating him like a baby for God's sake. In fact let him be alone, on his own for a change...tum sara waqt to us k sath nai spend ker saktey na"

"Phir bhi Sara! Hussain kia sochey ga yar wo...

"Kuch nai sochey ga Hussain, it's our life Shehry! usey kia zaroorat hea kuch sochne ki?"

"But yeah I know you won't get it, you men are insensitive and highly obl...

"Am sorry" her voice got a little raised making me jump out from my thoughts, I didn't even get what she kept on blabbering when I spoke out and her words got lost in her mouth, as she blinked at my face.

"Am really Sorry Heer!" I repeated and she remained quiet. "but trust me, it was just a joke. I can't even think in my dream to tell anyone anything bad about you" I stated honestly and she blinked her eyes.

"Trust me" I added lowly before taking a step back, my eyes still on her face as I backed off and then turned around heading to my room.

Wo Sara nai hea Shehry!

Na wo Sara hea...na wo us jesi hea.

Shutting the door of my room I went into the wash room and splashed some cold water on my face trying to get rid of those memories I hated... memories I wanted to erase but they just don't leave me.

HEER'S POV

The door to his room slam shut, I shivered a little, coming out of the words he just spoke; it was just an apology Heer! Why are you paying so much heat to it?

He said sorry to me?

Maybe I shouldn't have reacted the way I did....

Maybe he is hurt because of my words. I looked back at Rehmat and sat down with her on the couch.

"Rehmat! Ghalat kiya Mummy ne?" I looked at her, she showed her palms to me bringing them up to my face level and I smiled meekly as I bent down and kissed them one by one making her giggle.

"Mamaaama! Amma!" she looked back to her bangles trying to take them out, playing with them oblivious to what I was going through.

"Ji Amaa k jan!" she looked up at me and I tried to smile.

"Abba ko bura laga ho ga na?" I asked again pouting. "mager wo bhi to hamari buraiyan kertey hen...hum kia Karen phir? Humein gusssa aa gaya" my tone changed at once.

Rehmat kept on uttering baby words flapping her hands in front of me happily, as her bangles making noise, but my thoughts fixed on him.

His face struck in my mind.... The way he was lost into thoughts, saying nothing just listening to me; maybe I spoke a little too much.

Ek to ye zabaan hamari, kambakhtt! Rukti he nai... I shook my head disapprovingly.

I was lost in cursing myself when the door burst open and my head shot up, finding him coming out, he walked towards the kitchen not looking at me at all while my gaze was following him. After a minute or so he walked out of the kitchen and I looked away from him as he came closer and halted just near the couch on which I was sitting.

"Babbaaa!... babbba" Rehmat excitedly started flapping her arms up in the air as she saw him and urged him to pick her up.

"Aye mela beta! Abba ko yad ker ra tha...a gaye Abba, aa jao" he stepped closer and bending down picked her in his arms, I got up and looked at his face; it was slightly damp, his hair wet and combed backwards.

"Ice cream khani hea?" he asked looking at Rehmat and she clapped her hands as always, showing her excitement being in his arms, in her favourite place.

"Aley itni pali pali chooliyan meley betey ki" he looked down at her wrists and held in his hand, before kissing her them with a wide smile on his face making my heart melt and my inside cursing me even more for being rude to him.

Why can't he act the same around me as he does with Rehmat?all sweet and good.

Heer! shut up! Keh to aese rahi ho as if you behave all sweet and good with him...

You suck at being a wife. Somebody inside me scolded me and I pouted.

"umm you wanna come?" he looked at me and asked, I blinked my eyes as it took me a while to come out of my thoughts and concentrate on what he was asking.

"For?"

"For ice cream" he shrugged his shoulders as he replied.

"Ji...chaliye" I replied shortly and he pressed a smile before turning to leave.

Heer! tum ne sorry kena tha shaid....

"Sun..Suniye!" I called him and he stopped, turning back to look at me when I walked near him hesitantly looking up meeting his gaze.

"Wo....am s

"Arey han wo Hussain ne kuch bheja tha tumhare liye...wait" he cut me through as if something struck to him and he took out his cell phone from the pocket, he touched here and there on his screen, with his lips pressed into a thin line and a frown on his forehead. I just stared his face as he kept on looking down, keeping his phone away from Rehmat's hands as she tried to get it.

"Ni kuriye! ki cha'eeda tenu?" Rehmat was trying to take the cell from his hand when he stretched it away from her reach and asked in mock anger, looking at her face with a frown and to our surprise she actually pouted after staring back at him for a few seconds and Shehryar looked at me at once, holding his stunned expressions.

"Oh my God! Rehmat!" he gaped at her as she dunk her head down in his neck showing anger and I chuckled. "itna ghussa?" he added chuckling as he pulled her chin up and looked at her face pouting himself.

"Mein vaari javan tere nakhre te...." he flaunted and then pecked her cheek.

"Kia dikha rahe thy ap humein?" I asked hesitantly and he looked at me.

"yeah! he sent a message for you, actually for me... but I thought to show it to you, maybe it will make you feel better." he stated and I frowned a little as he showed me his screen.

"Here" he pointed at a small picture showing up with a dialogue box popping on his iphone screen and I held it as I read.

Shadi ki mubarakbaad to dena he bhool gaya mein bhabi ko, chal tu de deen meri taraf se....or khush raha ker, bhabi seems a really fun person, and I seriously can't wait to meet her now. I glanced up at him for a split of a second as I read till here and found him looking at Rehmat, thankfully.

Chal got to go, nai to teri paabi rus jaye gi tery bhai se, Tata and meri taraf se Heer bhabi ko ek zor ki jhap.... My eyes widened and my tongue frozen, I couldn't even look up at his way neither could finish the word as I felt my face heated up all at once.

"Jhappi..." Shehryar completed the word taking the phone from my hand and I looked up at his face gulping the lump of nervousness down in my throat, there was seriousness on his face and I thought;

He is not going to give me a jhappi...right? I blinked my eyes as he kept on looking at my face.

"I hope your doubts are clear...now feel better and don't think too much." he stated, his eyes still fixed on me.

"Accept his mubarakbad" he said and I tried to smile but I think I failed. "and forget that fun person wali bat, huhn! He doesn't know how much of a saroo person you are" he added making a face like an annoyed upset aunty and I bit my lip holding my grin.

"And don't worry... jhappi part can be ignored for now" he smirked a little as he said and a smile out of somewhere appeared on my lips as my gaze got lowered and my cheeks blushed.

"aa jao, am waiting in the car" he informed and I nodded my head, he left along with Rehmat.

Herat hea...is bar un k saroo kehney per bhi ghussa nai aya humein.

Something is definitely wrong with me.

***********

Shehryar made Rehmat sit on the counter as he was placing the order and I just stood there outside the ice cream parlour, leaning with the car looking at them from the glass wall, I looked around tables were placed there in a small area and people sitting there enjoying ice creams and falooda.

My gaze roamed here and there before landing inside the shop and I noticed the girl on the counter was smiling a little too much, I tilted my head to get a better view of her as the huge sticker on the glass wall was blocking my view.

Kesey hans hans ker gapein laga rahe hen us se....huhn! phuppi ki lerki hea na jesey. I shook my head disapprovingly as I didn't like the scene at all.

She took out something from the rack behind her and placed it on the counter in front of Shehryar, and when she handed him a pen I realised it was a tissue paper. Shehryar's back was turned towards me so I walked a little ahead my gaze fixed inside, Shehryar was now writing some thing on the tissue paper and then he looked up, with a smile on his face he handed her the tissue back and the girl beamed at him...smiling excitedly like a crazy person.

Kia likha ho ga??? I frowned thinking.

Haaye Rabba! Phone number mang rai thi kia?????? my eyes popped out as I thought the worst.

Abey o kameeni! Shaadi shuda hen wo....ziada muskura muskura ker dekhney ki zaroorat nai!

Heer! jab tum her waqt saree raho gi to bechara banda to doosri lerkiyon ko dekh ker he muskuraye ga na...... somebody inside, scolded me yet again and I pouted.

I wonder who is this inside me...who always takes Shehryar's side rather than mine.

She placed the paper bag on the counter still smiling wide and Shehryar picked it up after carrying Rehmat in his arms, the girl pulled her cheek making a kitty face and waved at him as he smiled, stepping back. I hurriedly went back on the spot he left me and crossed my arms at my front.... Not feeling like eating the ice cream now. He stepped out, talking to Rehmat, walked towards my direction.

He stopped near the car and handed me the bag, I reluctantly held it and took out the cups.

Hum ne dekha sab jo ander ker rae thy ap.... I frowned as he didn't pay any heat to my expressions.

Huhn! Koi ferk nai perta inhen....

"Butter scotch mine....Strawberry yours" he stated pointing down at the cups before making Rehmat sit on the bonnet of his pajero and gave her the wafers, she started nibbling on it.

Strawberry? Sucks..... I extended his cup to him and he held it, leaning with the car near me he started eating his ice cream while I just looked down at the pink thing and my tummy simply refused to even have a single gulp but just for not being rude I removed the lip and took a spoonful of it.

Intihaai buri....

I looked ahead and suddenly the door of the parlour burst open and the same girl came running to us...to him I meant.

"Shehry!" she waved her hand towards him and I frowned.

Shehry??itne to frank hum bhi nai abhi???

"You left the change" she was panting a little as she halted right in front of him and he smiled.

"Oh that's okay yar!" he shook his head smiling.

Yar?????

"No, I still remember that Islam Divided wali video" she stated smiling as he held the change and I just felt like a third person standing there....knowing least about what they were talking about.

"Ah! long time" Shehryar stated.

"Not that long to be forgotten" the girl replied.

"Chalo am glad the message is remembered' he said smiling.

"Hey! Seema! Come back.....you are not suppose to leave the counter" suddenly a heavy male voice interrupted their chummy chummy talk and I mentally saluted the man as the girl hurriedly waved a bye and ran back to the door, I looked at him who was smiling shaking his head.

"kon theen ye muhterma?" I asked casually, his spoon stopped mid way as he looked at me.

"Fan" was his reply as he gobbled the bite up and I made a face, ignoring that smirk spread on his face.

"huhn! Bare aaye Salman Khan" I mumbled.

"Better than Salman khan" he replied coolly, I didn't know it was loud enough to be heard by him. I ignored his reply and looked down at the almost untouched ice cream in my hand, now melting in the cup.

"lao do" he took my cup and before I could get he shoved his ice cream cup in my hand. "Ice cream ghoorney ki cheez nai, isey khatey hen Heer!" he stated faking a smile and took a spoon full of ice cream from my cup and took it to his mouth when I almost screamed.

"Arey arey kia ker rahe hen ap?...jhooti hea hamari"

"To? Muhabbat berhti hea jhoota khaney se, pagal lerki!" he ate the ice cream and I just blinked my eyes gaping at him.

"Heer! if you didn't like strawberry, you should have told me yar! koi zaberdasti thori na" he made a face and I looked down at his butterscotch ice cream in my hands.

"I thought girls normally like everything that is pink, so I brought strawberry for you" he shrugged his shoulders.

"And please! Eat it now... believe me I don't have AIDS....

"Allah na karey Shehryar!" his words literally sent a shiver of horror and pain and anger down my spine as I hurriedly covered his mouth with my palm.

"kesi batein kertey hen ap, kuch soch samajh ker nai boltey... Allah sehat k sath lambi umer de ap ko." I couldn't realize I was scolding him standing on the corner of a road where we were not alone. He was staring my face when my gaze went down at my palm still over his lips, feeling the coldness over my warm skin.

Feeling hell awkward I pulled my palm down from his lips as it started burning, I looked away from his gaze and found a few people looking at our way making me feel even flushed.

"Umm chalen?" I asked trying to cool down the heat emitting my face and he nodded his head, without another word I walked pass him and carried Rehmat, dusting the biscuits crumb off her frock I made her sit in the baby seat fixed in the back and then shutting her side of the door I came to sit in the front seat.

Shehryar sat in as well, taking the driving seat. He buckled the seat belt reminding me as well, and I buckled mine quickly as he reversed the car and then sped up, out of the parking.

"So...." He trailed off and I looked at his face, there was a smile on his face that made my heart skip a beat instantly. "it will affect you what my family think about you, right?" he asked and I looked back on the road, letting a short breath out.

"Yes it does" I replied simply.

"May I ask why?" he asked and I felt there was an amused grin on his face.

"this is quite silly of you, if you don't know why" I stated crossing my arms over my chest and he chuckled.

"I know but I want to hear it from you" he retorted seriously and I gulped down.

"Kia sunna chahtey hen ap hum se?" I asked a little annoyed a little flushed and he looked at my face for a moment before turning back to road.

"Yei k kun ferk perta hea tumhen k mera bhai kia sochey ga tumharey barey mein, ye k meri family kia shote gi...or ye k" he took a short pause as he looked at my face, I couldn't look at him so I kept staring outside mentally processing the answers for his questions which were sudden and awkward at the same time.

"k agar mujhey AIDS ho bhi gaya to what it has to do with you?" he asked calmly and I felt anger boiled inside me, but I thought to reach other way.

"Shehryar!ap kia sun'na chah rae hen hamarey moo se?" I asked politely, looking at him, he looked at me for a moment before looking back on the road there was a frown on his forehead.

"If you want to hear from me that I care about you and I have a hell lot of concern for you and your family, then seriously you are such an actor" I stated and he chuckled shaking his head, leaving a coy smile on his face.

"and as the answer is concerned then yes, I do care about you....and I strongly care about what you and your family think about me, agar ap ko lagta hea k mein koi laaperwah kisam ki bivi hoon to you are wrong Mr Shehryar Asif!" I said seriously and honestly, whatever I felt and he remained quiet, holding a soft smile on his face.

"or ye beemari waghera ki batein na kiya kejiye, humein acha nai lagta" I added lowly, started fidgeting with my fingers as I looked out from the window.

"to phir kia acha lagta hea tumhen?" he asked at once and my heart skipped a beat, I looked at him and found him smiling at the road.

"Aap" his head spun into my direction as the words blurted out from my mouth leaving me stunned myself, and the smile from his face faded as he blinked his eyes.

"Aap achey lagte hen humein" I stated again.

"Is this what you wanted to here in the answer?" I asked playfully and he looked back through the windscreen, his expressions unreadable and I bit my lip holding my grin.

"what if I say...." He took a pause and looked at me. "yes" he added and I felt the warmth of gaze upon my face and I looked out from the window.

"wesey ye sun'ney k liye nai poocha tha...wo to mein janta he hoon k tum mujhey buhat pasand kerti ho" he stated mischievously and I rolled my eyes.

"Khushfehmi hea ap ki" I retorted and he chuckled.

"yaqeen hea mera Heer madam! Dil he dil mein merney lagi ho mujh per...moo se na kaho wo alag bat hea" he stated firmly and I felt heat coming out from my cheeks, I gulped down staying quiet.

For a few minutes we stayed silent, I looked back and found her sleeping as always...I don't know why kids just fall asleep when they are on wheels.

"You know what..." he suddenly stated and I looked at him, his gaze was fixed on the road with a faint smile on his face. "You are weird" he added and I frowned, he glanced at my way for a second before looking back on the road.

"And you frown a lot" he said again making a face and my frown went even deeper. "and I know you are still frowning' he stated and I looked away from his face.

"Weird? In what way?" I asked and he thought for a while as he rubbed his chin.

"Weird like... a mixture of calm and storm, like a blend of sweet and sour" he stated, waving his hand in the air as if explaining me.

"jesey ek he plate mein fruit chat or dahi baley mix ker de koi' he looked at me and I chuckled, so did he.

"I may be weird but not more than your examples Shehryar!" I replied and he laughed a little.

"So what do you like? Fruit chat ya dahi bhaley?" I asked casually, looking at him.

"Umm for some odd reason, I think am liking the mixture of both, at the moment" he stated narrowing his eyes and the smile faded from my face into a nervous frown, he looked at me. I slowly looked away unable to meet his gaze.

After a couple of mute minutes he broke the silence again.

"You know Heer! years and years we kept on finding the perfect match for us, our likes dislikes...passion, hobbies sub kuch" he started saying in a serious tone for a change I must say. "as if we are not finding a human rather we are in search of our mirror image, which is impossible" he added, I looked at him who was looking at the road.

"Perfection ki talaash mein najaney kahan nikal aatae hen hum, ye samajhtey he nai k jo Allah ne hamarey liye chuna hea wo bhaley perfect nai hea but there can be no one better than him or her" he added.

"I have a friend, Sufiyan, he told me once... that perfection is for angels that's why we are not allowed to love them, rather we are supposed to love humans who are imperfect and full of loopholes and vices...still we fall in love with each other" he looked at me and pressed a smile which I answered with a rather low one.

"and may be this is the reason when we found somebody in our life, we expect them to be perfect and when they proved to be not...then we get hurt, disappointed" I stated and he nodded his head with his lips pressed together.

"isi liye biviyon ko shohoron k alag alag jaga per mozey utarney per ghussa nai hona chaiye" he stated seriously and I hold my chuckle. "because nobody is perfect you know" he looked at me and winked, I smiled looking away from his face.

"Wesey you can talk serious as well, I didn't know this fact about you" I stated and he chuckled.

"Oye Heeriye! Tu jandi ee nai menu" he flaunted and I felt my cheeks turned fumed up as he called me with this name.

"But I seriously feel that for spending a happy life, knowing each other is not important" he stated seriously. "at times we think that we know the person but when we start living with him or her...we come to realize how wrong we were" he added rather lowly and I felt a shadow lingered on his face. I tried to read those expressions but I couldn't.

'Kabhi kabhi jisey buhat nazdeek se jantey hen hum, woi log ajnabee nikaltey hen Heer!" he said, his grip on the steering went tighter and his face muscles stern. I wonder what was going on at the back of his head, my gaze was glued upon his face, he halted the car as the signal turned red.

"or kabhi kabhi ajnabee apney ban jatey hen" It came out from my heart and he blinked his eyes before glancing at me. "khoon k rishton se ziada dil k rishtey apney lagney lagtey hen, sachey lagne lagtey hen, hea na?" I added honestly and he just stared my face.

Our eyes locked together when suddenly the car at our back honked loud and both of our heads spun back to the wind screen.

"Oye ja riya oon ja riya oon, khotey de putter! Ki agg lagi ae tenu? Sabr ni honda?" he scolded loudly as if the driver was actually listening and I laughed at his expressions as he sped the car again making a face after putting the gear into drive.

"is k horn se meri bachi uth jati na...to uter ker jutiyan lani theen it ki ganjii tinnd per mein ne" the car pass by, and he stated making me smile, I shook my head when he turned his head and looked at the back seat confirming Rehmat was sleeping peacefully.

How possessive he is...God!

"You like music?" he asked and I nodded my head, he pressed a button in the complicated sterio system in front of us.

.......tujh se bhi ziada sona

Koi handsome munda hona

Le ke jaye ga soney mein tol taal key...

"huhn! Mujhe se ziada sona or handsome koi hona he nai" he made a face changing the music and I giggled at his expressions.

And then for the rest of the 10 minutes drive he kept on selecting and rejecting songs.

"Ghar aa gaya hea Shehryar! Or ap se ek gaana nai laga....." I made a face.

"not my fault....Bollywood sucks now days" he replied as he drove in the porch and Ahmad shut the gate back. He parked the car and we stepped out, he opened the back door and took her out from her baby seat carefully trying his best not to mess her sleep up.

"Yar Ahmad! Chacha kab wapas aaen ge?" he asked looking at him.

"Shehryar Sahab! tabeat kuch theek nai hea un ki khaansi buhat berrh gai hea...dekhiye do char din tak a jaen shaid" he replied.

"Oh! Allah khair karey....yahan bula lo, kisi achey doctor ko dikha detey hen" he offered and Ahmad smiled meakly.

"Janab yahan to bukhar mein bhi hum jesey lut jatey hen haspataal ja ker." He stated.

"Oho tum fiker nai karo, bus le aao Chacha ko yahan....Allah behter karey ga sab" Shehryar patted his shoulder assuringly and he nodded with a smile. I just stood there on the other side of the car looking at him...

Kitno ki madad Karen ge Shehryar ap? Lagta hea Allah ne isi kam k liye bheja hea ap ko.

"Heer! yar k cup chae bana dena" he stated as he walked pass me holding Rehmat.

"Ji acha" I replied as I followed him inside thanking God for finally giving me a normal life...a happy life. 

Hamesha muhabbat ko ghalat samjha hum ne, filmo dramo wali muhabbat k intizaar mein raha ye dil. Mager aj pata chala muhabbat wesi nai hoti na he wesey hoti hea.

Muhabbat to zara zara si baton mein chupi hoti hea, zindagi ki choti choti khushiyon mein maujood hoti hea... hum he nai samajh patey, hum he bari bari baton k intizaar mein zindagi guzar detey hen, jeena bhool jatey hen.

Lekin ub humein jeena hea...apney liye, apni bachi k liye or...or Shehryar k liye.
