"yaanī tartīb-e-karam kā bhī salīqa thā usse

usne patthar bhī uThāyā mujhe pāgal karke."

°°°

"Afiyahhhhhh apppiiyyyaaa."

Gul entered in Afiyah's room and whispered her name in her usual style... dragging it too long. Afiyah who was listening to her favourite song, took of her headphones and looked at Gul with bizzare expression.

"Kya musibat hai Gul."

"Afiyahhhhhh apppiiyyyaaa."

"Gul I'm telling you one last time My name is AFIYAH NOT AFIYAHHHHHH APPPIIYYYAAA. This is the last time I'm warning you."

Afiyah was now getting irritated with Gul's constant ministrations of destroying her name.

" Afiyah Api.....ya"

Gul said and looked at Afiyah with expectedly as if she will give her an Oscar for saying her name correctly.

"Aage kuch kaho bhi Gul and if you don't have anything to say then go."

Gul ignoring Afiyah's rude remarks sat beside her on the bed and hugged her sideways leaning towards her ears.

"Afiyah Apiya you know what Bilal bhai and Rumi appi is getting married."

Gul was looking at Afiyah whose eyes were shot up till her big bushy eyebrows.

"Whaaattttttt?"

Afiyah Shouted on top of her lungs, realising her mistake she covered her mouth with her palm. "Gul I'm so scared for Bilal bhai... he's getting married to RUMI THE LIVING VERSION OF DOLORES UNBRIDGE. How could bilal bhai agreed to this proposal? They both are polar apart........haaye mera chand sa bhai kis churail ke saath fas gaya."

Afiyah started fake crying and Gul was holding her stomach that was aching from continuous laughing.

"Afiyah Apiya apko DOLORES UNBRIDGE hi mili BELLATRIX lagti hai mujhe tou."

Now Gul and Afiyah both are laughing loudly. They Both were so much busy in knocking they didn't realized Bilal was standing on the threshold looking at them with confused expressions.

"Why are you guys laughing out so loud?"

Bilal entered in the room and looked at both of them, Gul and Afiyah were entangled with eachother.

"Bhai...aap?" Gul seeing Bilal got up from the bed and stand before him like a culprit, who has been caught red handed for stealing.

"Congratulations Bhai."

Afiyah who had sensed Gul's scared stature spoke up, her voice was laced with Sarcasm.

"Congratulations for What Afiyah?"

Bilal cocked an eyebrow and stand face to face with Afiyah.

"Your Marriage has been Fixed and Do you want to know with whom?"

Afiyah took a step closer and leaned towards Bilal....her eyes were focused on him.

Bilal who didn't recovered from her floral scent, her closeness was now doing things to him.

"With whom." His voice come out barely as a whisper.

Afiyah raised herself on her tiptoes to meet Bilal's height, she leaned towards her ear......"With Azra Phuphoo's dearest daughter Rumi."

Rumi Shouted this words in his ears but Bilal wasn't in his senses... he's senses were long gone the moment, when Afiyah's lips unintentionally touched his neck. Afiyah was laughing loudly and Gul joined in soon. They both were laughing freely without realising that this unintentional mistake would create a havoc in their lives.

•••

Bilal and Rumi's Nikkah has been done and now a small "Sangeet Ceremony" has been held in the lawn. Only family members were present their from both the groom and brides side. Everyone is looking happy and cheering for the performers.

"Afiyah Apiya kitna maza aa raha hai na..."

Gul whispered in Afiyah's ears and she just nod in her direction.

"So guys Groom's side is almost losing and here our Bride's side is winning. Is there no talented dancer from Groom's side?"

Maya who was Rumi's sister and also the host of the ceremony chanted loudly in the mic.

"LOSER LOSER LOSER."

Rumi's cousins started mocking Bilal's cousin and Afiyah was watching this with no interest, when Gul left her side and walked towards the stage, she took mic from Maya's hands and said.

"We are not Losers Afiyah Apiya will perform from our side and you guys will see who's the real winner."

Gul was now looking at Afiyah... actually everyone was looking at Afiyah. Afiyah had never performed in front of so much people. But seeing her Cousins and Gul's expectant face she swallowed her fear of being on stage and walked towards the stage with her head high and a confident smile on her lips.

The lights went dimmed...she was standing in the middle of the stage, her back facing the audience. Her palm was getting sweaty.....i couldn't do this, no you can Afiyah.... Afiyah was lost in her thoughts when the DJ played the music and speakers come to life....

Main teri ankho ka saahil

Main tere dil ke hi kaabil

Tu musafir main teri manzil

Ishq ka dariya hai behta

Doob ja tujhse hai kehta

Aa meri bahon me aake mil.....

Afiyah twirled around, her dress was now incircling her. She was dancing like a siren from giving deadly eye expression to lip syncing the tune with her deep red painted lips. She was looking like a seductress and everyone was watching her performance with jaw dropping and eyes bulging out.

Wo sharabi kya sharabi

Dil me jiske gum na ho

Lut gaya samjho sharabi

Paas jiske hum na ho

O saki saki re saki saki

Aa paas aa reh na jaye koi khwahish baaki

O saki saki re saki saki

Aa paas aa reh na jaye koi khwahish baaki...

Afiyah was now doing the classic "O Saki Saki" step and Gul came on stage throwing currency notes on her. Afiyah flipped her curly hair to one shoulder and winked at Gul. Everyone started hooting for Afiyah and Gul was in shock seeing Afiyah's seductress Avatar. Gul walked back to her seat. Afiyah was twirling on the tone.

When Afiyah felt a hand around her slim waist..........she was still in shock when she felt a masculine hand around her waist. She got scared but a familiar smell of cologne hit her nostrils. She moved back to see the face of the man....her world went upside down when she saw that Arsalan was holding her.

Arsalan's eyes were different now they were not caring the usual warmth but rage and fury she was still trying to figure out but Arsalan got so closer to her face and started singing along with the singer.

O tere jaisi mashuka mujhe yaar chahiye

Na paisa chahiye na hi karaar chahiye

O tere jaisi mashuka mujhe yaar chahiye

Na paisa chahiye na hi karaar chahiye....

Arsalan was twirling her with his hands like a lattu and surprisingly Afiyah didn't mind dancing to his tunes.

Yeh husn ka hai khumaar mera

Tujhpe hai chhaaya jo

Afiyah stopped following Arsalan's lead and managed to get out of his grasp...she pointed her index finger towards Arsalan.... singing and dancing along.

Kurban hua jo mujhpe

Khush naseeb bara hai wo.....

Afiyah walked towards Arsalan and lip synced along with the singer. Her and His lips are almost touching one mistake and anything would happen. The lights went dimmed, Afiyah panicked & was moving her face towards Gul....but unknowingly her lips met with Arsalan's for a brief second.

Afiyah felt a jolt of electricity in her veins and moved back on her heels. She run towards the entrance leaving a Frustrated Arsalan.

***

Its been two weeks since Bilal's wedding and he had already gone for his honeymoon.

But Afiyah still hadn't forget that unintentional mistake. She has lost her interest in almost everything. She didn't knew why but her heart was aching with pain. She was feeling ashamed of herself.....she wanted more and this growing ache is killing her from inside. Her ethics, Her morales, Her values are nothing Infront of his one touch...a forbidden touch.

Afiyah was lost in her thoughts when Gul came in her room and she was crying uncontrollably.

"Gul what happened?"

Afiyah got worried and hold her in her arms patting her back.

"AFIYAHHHHHH APPPIIYYYAAA Arsalan bhai ka rishta aaya aapke liye....ab aap bhi chale jaoge rukhsat ho kar...mai kisse larungi kis ke kapde chori karungi kiske saath apni har baat share karungi..." Gul was blurbing her problems and Afiyah was shocked to the core hearing her words.

Arsalan Had sent a proposal for her!
