Hr cheez naseeb sy nhi milty,
Kuch cheezen wadon sy
Milty hain

The dining room was bustling with the sound of cutlery and the laughter of the family. Everyone was enjoying the dinner while talking about random stuff. The elders were engaged in a conversation themselves and the youngsters, some were talking like normal people, some were bickering over who'd get the last kebab and then there were some like Noor-ul-ain, who was worried.

Yes she was worried because he was still not home.
He had promised her that he would've been home till dinner time but everyone had almost finished and he still wasn't present.

She sighed knowing that no matter how much she scolded him he was still going to work overtime at the company.

Noor-ul-ain qazmi is the daughter of mehmood asim awan and shafiya qazmi( her name before marriage).
Shafiya and mehmood were immensely in love with each other but when Noor-ul-ain was 4 years old her mother died of cancer.
Mehmood was devastated when shafiya died.
He was trying to be strong for his daughter who was the most important person in his life back than.
He thought he was done with life... With love.... but you never know when God surprises you.
Mehmood found love again.
Nafisa was a widow with a son and started working as mehmoods secretary after two years of shafiyas death.

Her husband was in the army and passed away the same year shafiya did. Mehmood and nafisa had this understanding between them that made their love even stronger because they knew the pain that both of them felt.

They got married.
Nafisa always wanted a daughter but she couldn't have any kids after his son was born.
Mehmood on the other hand always wanted a son as well so when SHANZAIN came to the house with his mother he was beyond loved by everyone, especially his baba.

Noor-ul-ain and shazain couldn't be more grateful for their parents .... They both knew that they were not their biological father or mother.

Shahzain had never felt as if he didn't have a father.
Mehmood was an amazing father... He scolded him when needed and loved him beyond anything...just as much he loved his beloved daughter.
Mehmood gave Nafisa and shazain his name and loved them with all his heart.

The same thing goes for Noor-ul-ain. She never felt as if she didn't have a mother. Nafisa was the most loving mother any child could ever ask for.

The maids started clearing the table once everyone was done and the elders were heading to their bedrooms meanwhile the youngsters were in the living room attempting to watch a film.
Asfandyaar and arham kept on bickering over candy all this time while Anaya watched her brothers with a scowl on her face.

Asfandyaar, arham and Anaya were Noor-ul-ains chachus kids. She was very close with all of them.

She joined them after helping the maids a little and soon the cousins were also out of site.

She sat quietly on the sofa watching "true beauty" and swooning over soo ho.

at 11:30 he entered the house with a tired face and sat on the sofa with a tired sigh.
He closed his eyes for a few minutes but opened them hearing shuffling sounds.

Noor placed the glass of water on the table and went to the kitchen to heat up the food leaving a grinning shahzain behind.

She was making a fresh roti when she felt a kiss being placed on her head.
She smiled inwardly and showed no emotion on her face.

She moved away from where he was standing behind her and moved to put everything on the dining table.

He knew she would've been pissed but he knew also how to make her talk to him.

Instead of going to the dining table he started going towards the stairs when a small gentle hand wrapped around his wrist.
"kahan ja rhy hain khana khany ky bagair?" she asked looking at him with a angry frown.
"apny room main ja raha hun, I'm not hungry" he said and surpressed a smile. Seeing her flustered state.

"Zain aap chup chaap bhet ky khana khayen, office main bhi kch nhi khaya hona.... Kitny bhar kaha hai apko ky kch na kch kha Lia kryn" she blabbered while dragging him to the dinning table and making him sit.

She place a roti in his plate and salan as well and looked at him.

He took a piece of roti and dipped it I to the salan and instead of eating himself he brought the bite to her lips first.
"aap khayen Maine kha li" she said looking at him hesitantly.
"pta hai mujhy Kitna khaya hai tumny...sirf 2 niwaly khaye ho gy.. Khao jldi." he said knowing well that she doesn't eat until he's home.

She opened her mouth and ate it.
"I'm tired.... Apny haton sy khila do na ain..." he whined and she chuckled

When shahzain came to the haveli with his mother noor was only 6 years old while shazain was 16.
They instantly became very close to each other and became best friends.

After eating, both of them got up and she went to place the dirty dishes in the kitchen... He walked behind her and kissed her cheek like he always does.... But today... Today it felt different. Butterflies started erupting in her stomach and her cheeks reddened.

She thought that he would go to his room but he stayed and wrapped an arm around her waist from behind and kissed the little bit of shoulder that was exposed from the oversized t-shirt she was wearing... His t shirt.

Her breathing came short as he continued to her neck.

"s-shahzain... Ap fresh ho jayen..." she said stuttering and cursing herself mentally for that.
"hmmm... Rooftop. 12:30" he told her and she meekly nodded not trusting her voice.

The rooftop was their meeting place... No matter what... Even if they didn't talk all day they had to meet at the rooftop.

She finished cleaning the kitchen and checked the time... 'abhi 15 min rehty hain.... Coffee bna lety hun'.

After a few minutes she took two steaming hot cups of coffee to the rooftop where he was already standing with his back facing her.

She placed the cups on the coffee table and tiptoed towards him and wrapped her arms around him... Hugging him from the back.

He smiled at himself knowing very well who it was and pulled her in front of himself and hugged her placing his chin on her head.

"I needed this...." he whispered and hugged her closer.
"i needed it more....apko nhi pta kaisy Maine math ky questions solve kie... It drained all my energy aur to aur aap bhi ghr itny late aye.... Meri help krny wala bhi koi nhi Tha" she said complaining ro him like a little kid would.

"I'm sorry.... Tumhy pta hai na Kitna kaam hai aaj kl office main... And i need to be there...what type of leader would I be if I'll leave all my employees doing the work and me going home knowing very well that they're gonna be up till late night doing their best ...hmm?" he said making her understand.

" mainy kb kaha kaam na kryn... Main to bs yeh keh rhy hun ky take care of yourself.... Look at you... Itny tkhy hue LG rhy hain.. Aur mujhy pta hai aap acchy sy khana bhi nhi kha rhy.. "she said running her hands through his hair knowing it relaxed him.

" I don't need to worry about myself.... Tum ho na Mera khayal rkhny my lie... "
" Han yeh bhi hai...." and they both laughed
" OK chorein mujhy... Main coffee ly ky ayi hun apky lie... " she freed herself from his hold and went to sit on the sofa after grabbing her cup.
He came and sat near her and picked his cup as well.

They talked about his day... Then hers and random stuff... And now she was running her hands through his hair again while his head rested in her lap.

"shahzain?" she asked quietly... Fearing he would get mad at what she was about to ask but she really wanted to do this....
"hmmm?" he responded
"mujhy apki permission chahiye...."
He sat up and looked at her telling her to go on.
She started fiddling with her fingers and looked at him with cute eyes... Hoping he would somehow agree to it..
" college party hai... Aur Mery sb friends ja rhy hain... Maine bhi jana hai.... " she said in a meek voice....
"bilkul nhi.... Chup chap ghr betho .... Itny lrky ho gy wahan... Bilkul nhi..."

"please Zain..." and he knew he couldn't resist her whenever she called him Zain or shah... No one was allowed to call him with nicknames except his Ain.

He sighed

" I'll take you and I'll pick you up from there" he said and she grinnied and launched herself in his arms.

"chlo apny room main abh... You have college tomorrow." she kissed both his cheeks and rushed to her room leaving a laughing shazain behind.
