Abeer and Wahaab

" Esha, Hammad Bhai kaha hain?" Musa accepted the tea that his sister brought.

" Aur kaha honge Bhai? Apni laadli ke saath" Eshal had a naughty glint in her eyes.

It has been more than four decades but Eshal was still the same mischievous girl she was while growing up with her five brothers.

" Badmaash!" Musa twisted her ears and chuckled at his little sister.

" Aah Moosy Bhai, na karein!" Eshal whined and her brothers all had an adoring look in their eyes.

The Hamdaani's had come for an impromptu visit at the Khan's but Musa had an ulterior motive to this visit. He was waiting for his Hammad Bhai to make his presence known before revealing his purpose.

" Hanzu, go call your Baba" Bakhtiyaar urged his nephew who was busy whispering secrets with his cousins.

The elders all gathered in the parlor while the children had vanished inside the huge house probably planning some pranks.

" Hammad Bhai, we signed a contract with the Zaidi's the other day" Musa began as soon as they settled down.

" Yeah I remember you mentioning something like that last time. You need any help?" Hammad was always ready to help his family out seeing as he was the oldest amongst everyone including the Hamdaanis.

" Nahi Bhai, I've got it all under control" Musa assured his older brother.

" Phir kya baat hain Moosy Bhai?" Haadi was confused.

" Mansour Zaidi has a son who overlooked everything and I've been observing him since the past few months. He's an excellent business man but more than that I've found him to be an excellent son..." Musa looked at Hammad and Eshal who seemed to have caught his train of conversation.

" His name is Wahaab and we all agree on one thing..." Bakhtiyaar said gently.

" Kya?" Eshal sat closer to her husband.

" That we see a lot of Hammad Bhai in him..." Shahveer smiled fondly at their Hammad Bhai.

" And that he will be an excellent match for Abeer" Behroz finally uttered what they had come here for.

Abeer was very dear to everyone seeing as she is the family's first daughter and Hammad was extremely protective of his baby girl.

" We have thoroughly investigated him and you won't believe but I've employed the services of the same investigator that Sarfaraaz Abbu had used, before handing over his precious daughters to us" Zohaib said naughtily but he was serious.

Afnaan nudged his shoulder and blushed furiously as they all looked teasingly at the Yazdaani girls who were an integral part of their lives now.

" I've got his details right here and even Mansour Bhai's private number for when you feel the need to further this" Hania handed over the file to her eldest brother who had an ashen face.

When did his baby girl grow up so fast that it was almost time to see her make way in the world? To see her build her own family!

" It's okay Maad, she's not going anywhere yet" Eshal held onto her husband's bicep and rubbed his back, trying to console him.

Eshal herself was discombobulated. It was a feeling like no other, for they felt happy for their child and yet devastated at the thought of her leaving.

" Why don't we invite them over for dinner tonight? Aap sab bhi yaha hain toh saath milkar decide karte hain" Haadi looked over at his Bhai and Bhabhi who weren't in any condition to speak.
