It had been a whole ten minutes since that incident and Hamza was sitting in front of him, continuously rubbing her face, neck and then head in nervousness. Now she was still dressed in Hamza's clothing, but her light brown curly hair were lying below her shoulders.

Ahad was fuming, confused and slightly ... relieved of the worries of being gay.
Maha wetted he lips with her tongue, opened har mouth to say something but then stopped.

"Bhonko ab! Kya tamasha hai yey?"
( Spill it out now! What the hell is this?)

Maha jumped in her place at his sudden loud roaring voice which echoed in the silence.

Closing her eyes, she breathed for a second and then started explaining.
"Wo, um, mey engineer banna chahti thi. Ab ismey meri kya galti hai k pooray mulk mey inn badtameezo ney larkion k liye engineering school nahi banaya?"
( Um, I wanted to be an engineer..and it's not my fault that these stupid people didn't make an engineering school for girls?)

Ahad pinched his nose.
"Couldn't you be something appropriate like a doctor or something like the every other girl of this country?"

It was now Maha's turn to be angry.
"Mey jo marzi banu samjhey? Tumhey kya takleef hai?"
( I'll become whatever I want. What the hell is your problem huh?)

Ahad's eyebrows raised.
" You have been making a fool out of me for ages and you are asking me what is my problem?"

Maha smiled sheepishly.
"Sorry."

Then after he asked she explained him the fiasco of the medical school and how she got here, he was asking her,
" Ab? Tum ab yahan kesay raho gi jab mjhe pta hai k tum.."
(Now? How will you stay here now since I know you are a girl?)

Maha's  eyes widened in a threatening manner,
"Kya matlab? Hain? Aurat hun tau ab izzat sey nahi reh saktay?"
(What do you mean? Hm? I am women now so you can't live  here with respect?)

"Tumhein darr nahi lagay ga?"
( Won't you be afraid?)
He was now making fun of her and Maha wanted to bash his face, she stood up.

" Oye, aurat k paun tallay Jannat hai.Izzat sey rehna."
( O you, heaven lies under a woman's feet. Respect me, understand?)

She was warning him and he was laughing.

"Aurat k nahi, Maa k pairon tallay Jannat hai. Tumsey shaadi kon karey ga? Maa kesay bano hi haan?"
(uh uh not under a woman's feet. Heaven lies under a mother's feet. Who will marry you huh? How will you become a mother?)

He walked closer to her while laughing and now she was fuming. How dare he?

" How dare you? Jis larkay par haath rakhun gi wo karay ga mjhe sey shaadi."
( Whichever boy I choose will marry me!)

Ahad's eyebrows raised at her proudness and the way she was standing now with her hand at her chest.

"Waddi ayi jhaansi di rani. Koi ullu ka patha hi karay ga tum sey shaadi"
( What are you,little queen elizabeth? Only a fool will marry you.)

Maha gasped in at his insult. She was yelling now,
"Fasih will marry me!"

Ahad slapped his knee while laughing.
"He's committed."

Maha crossed her arms.
"Ahmed then!"

Ahad was literally rolling on the floor due to laughter.
"Engaged to his cousin."

Maha was desperate.
" Hassan! I will marry Hassan!"

"He'd rather die than marry an aadmi (man). And he's been talking to that girl from the medical college for a month now."

Maha wanted to slap him when put pressure on the word 'medical'. He is such a little bitch.

" You little bitch! Larka tau mey dhoond kar dikhaun gi!"
( I will find a boy whatever happens!)

Ahad was wiping his moist eyes.

Ahad was brushing his hair back with his fingers when he entered the dorm after classes and saw Hamza lying on his bed without her wig. She looked tired and in pain, was constantly aah-ing.

"Kya bemari hogayi? Tent ka intezaam karun?"
( Which disease is it? Should I arrange a tent?)

Maha didn't answer him and changed her side, back facing him now and still she was nearly crying of pain.

As soon as his hand touched her forehead to check the temperature, she roared like a wounded tiger.
" Dafa ho jao! Larkion k koi aur bhi maslay hotay hain,Sab kuch ab bataya karun tumhey?"

(Get lost! There are many problems with girls, now should I tell you everything?)

Ahad immediately jumped back. Oh. He's been wondering why she had been so moody these past days. He raised one eyebrow, looked at her for a second with his hand rubbing his neck and then took out a painkiller from his drawer, throwing it towards her before going out again.

"Pagal larki, (crazy)", He muttered.

It would have been a normal match day if Ahad wasn't aware of her femininity. He was constantly eyeing her with irritation as she sat among the boys, particularly between Ahmed and Hassan as they watched the match. She had become particularly fond of the game too and wasn't aware of the fact that her shoulders which were squished between the boys would have been burnt by now if Ahad's gaze was actually laser.

Clenching his teeth, Ahad pulled her out of the seat and sat at her place, smiling at her cheekily and gesturing her to go away.

Maha stomped her feet.

  After they won the match, Hassan offered everyone to go to a swimming pool and everyone excitedly agreed, including
Hamza.

Ahad coughed, capturing her attention as he held her back as everyone else left the dorm to get stuff from theirs.

" Kuch bhool nahi rahi tum?"
(Aren't you forgetting something?)

Maha eyed him innocent confusion. It was the first time Ahad had seen such as innocent express on her face and his heart skipped a beat. His eyes were held by the bright eyes and the moist lips for a second but he composed himself.

" Yey log tau ja kar paani mey shirts utaar dein gey. Tum kya karogi?"
( These boys will go and take off their shirt in the water. What will you do?)

Maha's lips resembled an O and then she dejectedly protested,
" But I wanted to go!"

Ahad's eyebrows raised and then mischief lightened his eyes.

"Kabhi meray saath akeli chalay jaana."
( You can go some other time with me alone.)

He winked and Maha could only slap him on his chest a couple of times before he laughingly held her hands, rendering her unable to do so.
