"Nahi .. mera bhooth hai !" she sarcastically, gave reply "tumne, darwaze naam ke chees dekhe hai ? bina knock kiye kisi ke bhi room mein gusse chali aate ho ?" he taunts, unaware that did knocked at his door but he was too busy in himself.

"Excuse me, andar aane se pehle knock kiya tha .. lekin tum itne masroof thai ke sunn na gawara ne samjha." she cuts him off, turns to leave but stops as he calls "kahan jarahe ho ?" she sighs, he made her face him by grabbing her shoulders.

She quickly, shuts eyes forming a cute smile over his sexy lips, leaning closer asks her to open "tum apne aankhein khol sakte ho ... maine pure kapde pehan liye hain." she shivers as his lips accidently brush against her earlobe sending chills down the spine "taaye ammi .. neeche khaane par bola rahe hain .." she answers, lowers down gaze.

"Wah, kya baat hai itne farma bardaar hain taaye ammi ke ?" he teases, she furrows eyebrows.

"G bilkul, mere bade hain aur badaun ke baataun ka paas rakhna tahzeeb, ikhlaaq maana jata hai." she reminds, teachings of their parents "hmm, ur still the same." he utters, shocking her.

Means, does he remember their childhood ?

"Tumhe kamra kaisa laga sahi haina would u like any changes ?" she asks doesn't wanna ruin their moment, where they're able to converse freely or without any bodies interference.

"Mera kamra itna well-organized hai .. all thanks to ammi jaan warna neendh kya sukoon se laitna bhi mushkil hojata." he answers, everything is on point no changes are required.

She didn't feel the need to correct him. He opens door, directs her to move out like true gentleman she happily does followed by him.

On their way, stopped "maheen ko bolaya kisi ne ya main jakar dekhun ?" she's take aback, why so much concern for a friend, her mind questioned.

"Zoya went tum neeche chalo na sab intezaar kar rahe honge .. maheen ke fikar mat karo ajayegi !" shehnaaz assures, plasters smile hates herself for being envious ain't a part of her personality.

Maybe, loves makes you a bitter person, at times introduces to the worst versions of yourselves he slightly nods while scrolling through his phone it makes her realize, how people change with time !

Sadly, taking-up the place that solely belonged to someone else. He settles down but before she can his best-friend excitedly came taking the seat that was designated as hers since forever.
Like always, expected him to take action, he does not say a word instead happily starts talking then asking wether she slept well or not ??

Did she like the room, was it comfortable ?

Doesn't he realize, she is still awaiting !!

Ek Rishta Dard Ka Hai Mere Uske Darmiya,
Phir Bhi Kitna Fasla Hai Mere Uske Darmiya,
Yuhi Rahengi Ranjishe Ye Hamare Beech,
Koi Jabtak Teesra Hai Mere Uske Darmiya !!

"Shehnaaz ?!" adil calls out, snapping back to the world.

"Mere paas akar baith na yaar tere bhai se maine tauba karle hai jab dekho mere saath chipka rahe ga log hamare genders question karne lagenge." a very mischievous adil gestures abdullah to shift it was his way of lightening up tense situation.

He can't believe his brother is turning a blind eye towards his childhood bestie, to be wifey as far as they have learnt from everyone .. both were like a beautiful reflection of one-another .. what caused differentiation ?

Distance ???

Well, whatever the reasons be won't let shehnaaz feel bad out of place after all they're cousins ❤️

"Abdullah, shift over there .. main apne behan ke saath baithunga !" Zain demands, upsetting their little brother "meri bhi behan hai." he reminded.

"Tu hamara bhai nahi hosakta, teri shakal humse nahi milte, kyun shehnaaz ?" she laughs, hugging abdullah stopping zain from passing comment on his looks as he seems to be different from them.

The elders laugh but deep down curse maheen as shehnaaz was getting affected. They kept quiet in order to respect the guest. Nadia ji serves chicken karhai and biryani to sidharth when maheen says "aunty g, sidharth oily khaana nahin khata avoids eating gravy mostly prefers grill or salads, haina ?In-fact, main bhi ne khaate figure maintain karna padta hai so yeah ... if you don't mind can you ask the cook to make something else ?" maheen waits for sidharth's denial meanwhile others control on their anger "she's right lekin aaj diet nahi phuppo jaan thoda aur mil sakta hai ?" sidharth, forwards his plate avoiding the look on maheen's face.

Nadia ji and his mother happily serves bringing a a lot of happiness on the table. Shehnaaz beamed with pride, he didn't let her mom down, even-tho maheen tried showing, she knows him more than them, he relishes the taste advising maheen to do the same after all they are asians !

She restlessly, pours some gravy and slurped like soup truly loving the taste of flavors "yummy, too good aunty !" bi jaan, felt like poisoning the share of her food "aaye wade, angrezni dil karta hai doh thappad lagawan is de muh wich .. khoti kahin ke hamare puttar nu, humse zayada samjhan de iske nakaam koshish, huh ?!" old lady, murmurs but a little bit louder that it didn't go unheard from her daughter in laws who howl into laughter.

"Sidharth, maine na hamare bachpan ke favorite  dish banaye hai, try karoge ?" shehnaaz, gathered some strength to present their favorite most dish.

"Of course, le ao yaar main bhi toh dekhaun hum dono ke kaunse favorite dish thi." he nods, in lots of excitement due to which others grin, loving the change of expressions between them.

Finally, presents a bowl of fresh gajar ka halwa it curls his lips into genuine smile, pulling the bowl from her hand immediately started digging "bhai that's unfair, what about us ?" adil complaints, as they were dying to taste it.

"No way, it's all mine ..." he refuses to share then shehnaaz interrupts "g nahi, mera hissa bhi hai u cannot have it all alone !" he rolls eyes, and sticks tongue out "tere soch hai" elders enjoy, their cute dispute while kids ran after him to get a bite.
