Life has it's own phases to unfold with chapter of love enemity childhood first love first experience first heart break and what not.

But all the first teaches and every first can nit be last and what patience is to life.

Saher a girl who adores her ammi but cannot even breath the same air as her baba.

Saher loves when she sits and have a chat with ammi but can't even think to hear her baba.

Every daughter have relationship with her father.

And for her it was nothing but hide and seek game.

That's what she does since she knew how her father never wanted a daughter but a son.

It's the same typical mind that son sounds better than daughter and son is the only bread winner.

Saher can never think why a father would be this way and now after almost a decade she learnt to never glance her father.

At the moment she was seated with her ammi talking and laughing over a Cup of tea.

Before they could even speak another word they heard a deep and not so sweet voice which echoed in their small living room.

Standing on  her feet with wide eyes she saw a man dressed neatly in typical salwar kameez with a blazer over and a phone in hand with airpods connect and plugged in his ears.

His hairs neatly gelled back and he looked fresh at the moment.

Saim looked away on seeing saher while she gawked him.

"Salam!" Saim repeat his words which pulled her hearts string again.

She nooded her head and cleared her throat looking away.

"Baba is not  home at the moment." She answered meekly

"I know"came his reply in deep yet gentle Voice.

"Than you need someone else." She asked Looking Anywhere but him.

"Flies."

"Ji?!"

"Files! came to collect some files."

"Please go ahead."saher gave him way to pass through her.

"Saher go help him." Her mother said only make it more awkward.

They both walked silently which awkward saher turned to see her mother grinning and walking in to kitchen.

"Saher." Saher held her dear heart on hearing her name from  him.

"Uncle said it is in side left drawer"

"Go- take the files."

"I think I can't walk at the moment. Please get me the files."

"You okay?"

"Saher did you gave him the files."

Saim smirked looking at her for the first time since he entered the place. And she looked a lot petite since last time. Dressed in another dark shade of blue she walked in studyroom and pulled out the three files.

The files which helped him see his rose.

"Thank you!"

Saher nodded and looking down at her bangles which are the only elements making sounds.

"I will be going than and uncle will be returning tomorrow."

"Inform ammi before you leave."

Saim nodded and walked away leaving her who tried calming her mind and heart.

Ammi stopped saim on his way and insist on having a cup of coffee.

"How's work bache? "

"Alhamdulillah, keeps the man busy."

"Heard about your new apartment. Mubarak."

"Shukriya I will take my leave
fi amanillah."

Saher stared at him from a distance who walked out without turning to her.

"Ammi why you didn't asked about-"

"No need now go to your room and clean the mess."

Saher nodded and walked to her room still thinking about the man she loves dearly..

And she knows that he also have something for her. But the only thing they knew was

They are not meant for each other.

How can they are :meant to be' when saher hates what saim does and saim doesn't even take a step back for them.

Being in same university they shared that small crush phase.

-------------------

Standing out side the workplace saher waited for her cab to arrive but soon that turned in glee when she saw zaina walking towards her.

Zaina, her junior who often comes and Ask help in studies.

"Aslamualaikum"zaina greeted with red cheeks and fanned her face.

"Walaikumsalam"

"Waiting for the cab?"

"Yes, you had your exams right?"

"And  I aced in each one of those." Zaina said proudly

"Good next semister starts from?"

"Arrey, kal se hi toh sukoon ke din shuru hue hain aur aap hain ki bas zinda nahi rehene dein ek haseen ladki ko. "Saher chuckle but nodded her head.

"Acha acha all the best."

Saying this saher drove to her home. A happy place.

"Aslamualaikum"she said loudly on entering.

She went and hugged her ammi from back,then went to  room and took a blissful shower, dressed in  new dress which she bought just few days ago.

As she was going down she heard an unforgettable voice which was coming from  dinner ares

She made her way to only come face to face with the man of her heart

He was seated with a grim face speaking to her baba.

She walked into kitchen again seeing ammi making chai and coffee.

"What's the matter?" She asked her ammi who was grinning ear to ear.

"You joining the trip"

"Ammi no joking here."

"I am serious what's with him and allowing you with a trip."

"Where to?"

"Don't know but saim came with a request and him along everyone will be joining."

"You too?"

"Arrey pagal you all young people."

"I won't...."

"Go have a breath of life bache."

Saher peeked out to see saim nodding his head in agreement and in a moment ammi was called by her father.

She sniffed roughly and walked to the place to hear the final verdict.

"Pack saher's bags in an hour the child and saim will be leaving by the dawn."

Saher nodded and walked with her mother for packing.

And next hour was in packing of clothes for a sudden trip of life and twist.

Life is this for saher where no one explains her anything nor she wants to explain herself she just follow her day and do as she is said to be.
