Marium's pov

"Kya hua hai janab? Kuch chahiye aapko?(What happened, sir? Do you need something?)" I asked him as why will he stop us if he don't have any work with us

"Kuch nahi chahiye! Aj meri daughter ka birthday hai to mai bacho ko mithai de raha hu. (I need nothing! Today is my daughter's birthday so I am giving children sweets .)" he replied but I didn't understand half of what he said

Today is what? He is a foreigner, which is why he uses half English and half Hindi to communicate, but I don't know English. How will I understand what he is saying? Why will he give sweets?

He forwarded one gold coin towards me, urging me to take it. But I shook my head immediately. He said he would give us sweets, but why is he giving us gold?

"ye lelo Acha lagega (take it you will like it)" he said with a smile

"Par apne to kaha tha ki ap mithai denge janab ye to sona hai (but you said you will give us sweets but it's gold)" Fatima said and that man started laughing

"Ye sona nahi hai! Ye chocolate hai! Vilaiti mithai, you can say kha ke dekho. (It's not gold! It's chocolate! Foreign sweets, you can say! Have it!)" he said and we both felt embarrassed

It's not our fault that it's not a gold coin when it looks exactly like one.

He peeled the golden paper type thing, and a brown thing came into view. He wants us to eat it. He handed each one a chocolate.

And let me tell you, when I ate it I felt like I was in heaven. It's so good, it melted like butter, so soft and smooth. I loved it.

"Sukriya janab, (thank you sir)" we thanked him for giving us this sweet

He smiled and left from there. I will again eat this thing if I can.

"Marium! Mumtaz Begum ayi hai jaldi ao (Marium! Mumtaz Begum is here come fast)" Ammi jaan called me and I literally ran out to greet her

"Assalam e waleykum chachi jaan! (greetings aunt)" I greeted her and she replied to my greeting

"Aj kya khilaogi Humein? Tumhare hatho ka bana khana khane hi aye hai. Hum akele nahi hai wo bhi hai hamare sath Araha hai.( What will you feed us today? We came to eat your handmade food. I am not alone he is here as well he is coming)" She said and my heart skipped a beat again

He is here. Oh Allah! Am I even looking presentable? I should have checked before coming out.

"Jao Marium wazwan le kar ao andar se (go Marium bring wazwan from inside)" Ammi jaan said and I nodded immediately and went inside

I need to fix myself first, then I will take the food outside.

I placed my hand over my heart and felt how fast it was beating. It's like I have run a mile to come here, but in reality I just walked a few steps.

Whenever he is near, my heart will start beating like this, and my face will be flushed.

I checked myself, fixed my appearance as much as I could, and served two plates of wazwan. Taking a deep breath, I took them out, and my eyes fell on him. The most handsome guy I have ever seen in my life is Zain Siddiqui.

He is here with his mother every week. Mumtaz Chachi Jaan will visit our shop every week once, and he will tag along with her as well.

"Kitni der laga di tumne! Jaldi ao (you are late! Come fast)" Ammi jaan scolded me and I walked fast

Serving the plates in front of them, I stood aside.

"Der to hogi hi! Akhir kar itni alsi jo hai apki beti (she will be late! After all your daughter is so lazy)" Zain said and I gave him a look
