Ayaan's POV

"Listen, please dont mess it up.. Koi gadhbadh na karna, bhai ko bohot mushkil se manaya hai, now everything is on you"

Shiza was continuously speaking on phone.

"Shiza, Shiza, Shiza.. Please for God sake, mai pehle se hi nervous hu, mujhe aur na darao yaar" I said after a while.

"Mai dara nahi rahi... Samjha rahi hu.. "

"Mai sab samajh gaya..Ab please dont make me more nervous" I said.

She laughed..

"Itne darpok nikloge ye nahi pata tha.."

"Mai? Darpok.? "

"Haan bilkul.. In fact Mai to ye soch rahi hu ki abhi haadi bhai se milne me ye haal hai toh Dad se milne me kya haal hoga tumhara" She laughed again.

"Theek hai madam, has lein aap.. Gin gin ke badle lunga"

"Accha na.. Le lena.. Abhi tum jaldi se pohcho.. Late na hona.. Time pe pohoch jana okay.. "

~~~~~~~

In Malik's Industries:

As I entered the office, I saw Haadi bhai was standing in front of the glass behind his table, his back was facing me.

On the side Sofa, I noticed Arsam was sitting with a straight face..

Arsam was giving me deathly glares..

Haadi bhai turned to me..

And gestured me to sit.

"Look, Ayaan.. I want to come straight to the point.. Shiza is our only sister, and we are very possessive about her.. " Haadi bhai began to say.. And I was only nodding wherever needed.

"I want her to be happy, and she chose you.. Now, I only want to know what is the reality of this relationship from your side? "

"Umm... I am not getting what... " I was trying my best stay calm..

But mahn, I was freaking out..

Shiza was right.. Uske brothers se milne me ye haal hai, how will I manage to even stand in front her father.

"How serious are you about my sister? Or you were just playing around " Haadi bhai asked before I could complete.

"See, I know the way all this came out.. It shouldn't be like this.. But.. "

" Just give the damn answer, we are not here to listen your rubbish bakwas.. " Arsam said in anger.

"Bhai, this guy is a fraud, I was telling you.. Shiza was a fool, but we are not. You were right about sending her away.. " Arsam said to haadi bhai.

"Listen.. You..Just because you are a brother of the girl I love, doesn't mean you have a right of passing your judgement about me" I said to Arsam.

"And, haadi bhai.. I know it is hard for you, but I love your Sister, I love her.. And I can assure you that no one can love her the way I do.

And about being serious in the relationship, I want to marry her, I see my future with her. For me, it has always been her or no one.. " I told him sincerely, suddenly all the nervousness, blabbering went away.. I said it all confidently.

Arisha's POV

At malik's mansion,

"Bhabhi... Ayaan bhi call nhi pick kar raha, akhir baat kya hui wahaa?" Shiza was walking to and fro across the room.

"Shiza, khuda ke vaaste, ek jagah baith jao, tumhe dekh dekh ke mujhe chakkar aa rahe hai" Hania said to her.

"Maine haadi ko call ki thi, but wo bhi call receive nahi kar rahe" I told.

"Sab kuch theek toh hua hoga na.. Kahi bhai ne phir se toh.. " Shiza said thinking about the previous events.

"Allah na kare.. Accha accha socho " I said.

And, then I saw arsam going in his room.

"Arsam.. " I called.

He turned, and came inside the room "kya baat hai, mashallah saari khawateenein yaha ikattha hui hai "

"Tum kaha the? " I asked

"Mai office mein.. " He said but then changed it to "mera matlab hai.. Ek dost ke office.. Milne gaya tha usse"

"Aur haadi? Wo kaha hai? " I asked clearly not believing on him

"Kamaal hai.. Mujhe kya pata, Mai kya tumhare hone wale shauhar ko apne jaib mein rakh kar ghoomta hun"

"Arsam, bakwas na karo.. Mujhe bohot zaroori baat karni hai haadi se, mera phone nahi utha rahe.. Mujhe batao kaha hai? "

"Thikane lagane gae hai... Usi zaroori baat ko, jo aapko karni hai unse" He said with a serious face... Looking at shiza.

"Kya.. Kya matlab hai is baat ka" I asked

"Wahi jo tumhe samjh aaya.. Mai change karke aata hu" He said and went out.

"Bhabhi.. Ye.. Ye.. Kya keh ke gae hai abhi.. "

Shiza panicked

"Pagal hai.. Bakwas karke gaya hai.. Tum baitho sukoon se, abhi call karega ayaan khud hi " Hania said relaxed.

Even I was a little scared after arsam said that..

After a while,

We heard a horn,

It was haadi.

I quickly went near him,

"Haadi, aap kaha the, mai call kar rahi thi apko.. Apne phone bhi nahi pick kiya, message ka reply bhi nahi kiya, we were so worried.. Aap aise.. " I was speaking in my flow.

"Shhhh.. Sabr.. Bata raha hu meri jaan, sab bata raha hu" He said in calm.

"Ayaan aapse milne aya tha, kya baat hui apki? " I asked

"Haan.. Aaya toh tha.. Baat bhi ho hi gai.. " He said while moving inside.

"Kya matlab.. Arey.. " I followed him.

"Haadi.. Please" I stopped him by holding his arm.

"Arisha.. Your family is coming today for dinner, concentrate on that... Baaki sab thik hai, dont worry"

He said and walked away.

"Urghhhhhhh pagal"

-------

Everyone was present in the hall including my family and his.. When usman uncle said that one of his business acquaintance' family is about to come.

And,

It was none other than ayaan's family..

I was confused, i looked at haadi.. And he winked.

I quickly gave a side hug to shiza without anyone else noticing us.

I mean, it was obvious why they are here.

Ayaan's Father, Ahmad Uncle, started off the conversation after the dinner was served,

" Usman saab, bhaee mujhe toh aapke ghar aa kar bohot hi accha laga.. "

"Shukriya Ahmad, aur mujhe behad khushi hui ki aap apne parivaar ke sath aae... Alizeh bhi hoti toh aur accha rehta.. "

Usman uncle answered.

"Bilkul sahi keh rahe hai, lekin phir, wahi baat hai na, betiya kaha hamesha saath rehti hai.. Ab alizeh bhi apne ghar ki ho gai hai..allah bas sab betiyon ke naseeb acche k" Safiya aunty, his mom said.

"Beshak... " Baba said

"Waise Usman bhai, aapne aapki beti Shiza bohot pyari hai, iske baare mein kya socha hai? " Aunty asked.

"Shiza.. Toh abhi filhaal padh rahi hai"

"Asal mein usman sahab, hum apne bete ayaan ke liye Shiza ko mangna chah rahe the.. " Ahmad uncle said.

"Arey nahi nahi, abhi toh shiza choti hai, abhi toh hum bilkul bhi is baare mein nahi soch rahe" Usman uncle said

I quickly turn to look haadi.. I signed him to say something..

"Lekin.. Dad, uh.. Hum consider toh kar hi sakte hai.. Aaj nahi char saal baad sahi.. " Haadi said.

After, like half an hour of discussion between haadi, baba, ahmad uncle, aunty, usman uncle

. It was finalised that whatever Shiza will say, they will agree on that.

And usne kya kehna tha we all know that.

Now it is decided that shiza and ayaan will get engaged by the end of this year and will marry after ayaan get settled in his career completely and shiza completes her studies.

I was in the kitchen, telling the maids to serve the desserts to everyone,

"Aap ye lekar jaen, mai aa rahi hu" I said to hameeda aapa(maid)

"Aur aap, ye kheer bhi le ke jaen" I said giving the tray, to the other one.

"Aur mai? " Someone whispered huskily from behind, the breathes fanning my neck.

I turned to look at him, " aap? Aap kya? " I asked

He told maids to leave, with the movement of his fingers and they quickly followed.

"Mujhe bhi bataen kya karna hai mujhe" He said stepping more close.

"Aapko? " I touched the collar of his formal blazer, "aapko kal time pe aa jana hai mere college.. Late nahi hona, kal ke liye no meetings, no office and no excuses okay? "

"Okay madam done, aur kuch? " He snaked his hands around my waist.

"Umm.. Han.. Ek aur cheez.. " I said.

"Wo kya? "

He asked.

I moved on my toes to reach his ears, he also bend his head in order to reach me.

But i kissed him on his cheeks instead.

"Thankyou.." I said and pulled myself back.

His eyes looking at me in shock, and I know why,

But soon his romantic self came back.

"For? " He pulled me to him again.

"For everything you did,,,for understanding shiza, for being a good brother that you are, and for making everything possible " I said rubbing the lipstick mark on his cheek.

"Oh.. So that kiss was for that.. And I thought" He said.

"You thought? "

"I thought that my fiance is becoming more romantic day by day.. "

"Ahem ahem" This was hania of course.

We quickly stood straight,

"Maine kuch nahi dekha.. " She said putting hand on her eyes.

I rolled my eyes.

"Wese mai kya soch rahi haadi bhai, ki sab log bahar hi hain.. Aap kahein toh aap dono ki shadi ki date bhi kareeb karwa li jae" Hania asked to haadi,

"Neki aur pooch pooch... Go ahead meri taraf se toh haan hai" He said.

"Ek minute.. Ye kya hai haan.. Pagal ho tum dono.. Koi zarurat nahi hai bahar jake bakwas karne ki" I stopped them to think further.

"Khair, jesi tumhari marzi.. Mai toh aap logo ko ye batane aai thi ki bahar sab aap dono ka pooch rahe hai, aur mashallah sab itne zyada samajhdar hai ki fauran samajh jaenge ki aap log sath hi honge.. Toh please ye sab baad mein kar lena.. Abhi zara bahar aa jaen" Hania said chuckling.
