In The Evening - Everyone was strolling on the street of Punjab, which was obviously filled with an uncountable crowd. Ruslaan was stealthily glancing at the glowing Tamanna, and it was seen by Zoya. She smirked, and whispered in his ear - "Nazrein chura kar kyun dekh rahe hai aap Bhaijaan? Itni Mohabbat karte ho toh sidha meri appi ka haath maang ne aa jaiye."

Ruslaan looked at her in surprise, but quickly covered his smiling face with an arrogant one, and said slowly - "Kuch bhi sochti ho tum."

"Acha ji? Aap mera toh muh band karwa denge...lekin Allah ki nazron me aap pehle se hi meri Appi ke mohabbat me deewane bane hue ho. Aapko kya lagta hai, humein samjh nahi aata jis tarah se aap Tamanna Appi se milne ke bahana dhundte ho? Hum kya, pure gharwalo ko yakeen hai ki aapke dil me kabse Ishq ki battery switch on ho chuki hai...jiska charger ab sirf meri pyari appi hai." Zoya said with a cute smile, and Ruslaan gasped, since when did she start to notice so much? And what kind of language was she using? Battery? Charger? Seriously? She is literally becoming like her loafer lover Ibraheem. He thought with an amusing smile, and spoke - "Tum meri chodo...aur apni socho."

"Matlab?" She asked him confusingly.

"Pata chal jayega." Ruslaan said with a smirk.

Tamanna looked at them playing a whispering game with each other, she went near them, and asked suspiciously - "Yeh aap dono kabhi se kya kusur pusur kar rahe ho ek dusre ke saath? Zara main bhi toh sunu aisi kaunsi baat hai jo aap log ghar pe nahi kar sakte."

"Aapko kyu bataye appi? Yeh hum dono ki aapsi baatein hai." Zoya said with a mischievous smile, and winked at her sister.

"Ya Allah bas yahi din dekhna baki reh gaya tha ab...Meri masoom behen ko bhi is chaalu insaan ne apni taraf kar diya. Aaj ek baat bata hi dein aap mujhe, aisa kaunsa jadu karte hai aap, jo mera pura khandaan aapke piche deewana hai?" Tamanna spoke with a grumpy face, as she wouldn't tolerate her beloved sister going against her for this lion.

"Khandaan na sahi...par tum pe agar woh jadu chal jata toh mujhe aur kuch nahi chahiye tha Allah se." Ruslaan thought, melancholy, and stared at her apprehensive face with a poker face.

"Chalo tum ab hi-hi hogaya ho toh...inke saath itna ghul milne ki zarurat nahi hai." Tamanna possessively held the hand of her younger sister, and dragged her away.

"Uff appi kya kar rahi hai aap? Kya dikkat hai aapko mere unse baat karne se?" Zoya asked her sister in an upset tone.

"Kya dikkat hai? Mujhe dikkat hi dikkat hai unke mere gharwalo se baat karne se...woh sabko mere khilaaf kar rahe hai." Tamanna said with insecurity reflecting in her eyes.

"Aap humesha unke iraado ko galat hi kyu samjhti hai Appi? Kya unhone kabhi bhi aapko koi nuksaan pahuchaya hai? Kya unhone kabhi bhi aapko galat nazron se dekha hai? Kya unhone kabhi bhi aapko Ammi se daant khilwayi hai? In fact bachpan se woh aapko support karte aa rahe hai, aapki galti hoti thi toh bhi woh ilzaam apne sir lete the...taki Ammi aapko na daantein, aapne ek baar unki favourite video game bhi kharab kardi thi, fir bhi unhone kuch nahi kaha aapko, aur aap fir bhi unse itni nafrat karti hai? Kyun? Sirf agar woh thodi berukhi dikhate hai iska matlab yeh nahi ki woh aapko pasand nahi karte, ya aapka yahan aana unhe nahi acha lagta...kabhi kabhi koi aur bhi wajah ho sakti hai is berukhi ke piche." Zoya scolded her elder sister in a stern voice, and disappointment was explicit in her ocean eyes. Not only she but everyone in their family feels that Ruslaan has deep feelings for Tamanna, but her rude behaviour is holding him back from professing his love to her.

Tamanna was shocked, never in all these years Zoya has talked with her in such a high tone, but somewhere She was right. Ruslaan has never misbehaved with her, she was a spoiled brat in her childhood, and always ruined his drawings or projects with no guilt, still He didn't go to complain about her growing mischiefs to her mother. Azlan was never like this, he scolded her whenever she was wrong, he even once asked her mother to keep her under control. She is getting influenced by her bad friend circle.
