MUNTAZIR (A TALE OF AWAITING LOVE) ☑️

Chapter 27

"Bhai, aap uth gaye ?" adil asks, excitedly hearing his voice because he immediately took shehnaaz's name after waking up from deep slumber.

"Nahi, mera bhoot hai !" feeling dry throat ended up coughing due to which adil makes him drink a little water "shehnaaz kahan gaye kal raat tak toh woh yahin thi." he asks, tensely looking around.

It made him smile brightly "sach kahun acha laga aapke muh se uska naam sunn kar waise woh bhi kaafi pareshaan thi raat bharr yahin baithe rahe I asked her to rest but she denied saying that you'll look for her as soon as you wake-up ab pata chala unke baat kitne sach nikle." he chuckles, getting a death glare from his elder brother.

"What ?" he questions, shrugging off shoulders.

"Where is she ?" sidharth asks, worriedly.

"Bhai, come on .. did you expect her to sit here on your head meanwhile the entire house .. is widely awake aap khud socho itna sab hone ke bawajood kis right se yahan baithte anyway call her bichare tensed hoge jaate huwe bhi she was concerned na yeh loh aap ka phone main neeche jaakar naashte ka bolta hoon." he left, handing over the phone.

He calls her, she was busy attending a work-shop her phone silently buzzed inside the bag.

He sends text with an appreciation note thanking her for being there, when he needed someone the most ♥️

"Jab nikalta hai koi,
Dil me bas jaane ke baad,
Dard kitna hota hai,
Bichad jaane ke baad,
Jab paas hota hai,
Uski kadra nahi hoti,
Kami mahsus hoti hai,
Uske door jaane ke baad !!"

Everybody comes upstairs towards his room "Ye kya haal banaya huwa beta kisne kaha tha tumse baarish mein bheeg kar ghar aane ko ab tumhare tabiyat kaise hai .. bukhaar toh nahi ??" bi jaan is extremely loving towards her grand children, tho shehnaaz is her favourite most, she doesn't down from expression affection towards all of them.

"Main theek hoon, aapke laadli ne mera khayal is tarah rakha haina, aisa ho he nahi sakta ke mujhe zayada dair bukhaar rahe." he specified, changing sameer's facial expressions.

The elders weren't happy too, without speaking a word nadia ji walked out followed by sameer who couldn't stand hearing anything more "acha ji, ab baatein kum aur khaana zayada shagufta bahu ye saara khatum karwa kar he neeche ana, hayeee in bhudde pairaun mein ab jaan nahi rahe tu khayal rakh apna main jakar thoda araam karte hoon." a very tired bi jaan goes to rest, phuppo prays some duaa, before leaving blows on his head, nazakat ji asks him to get well soon and shagufta ji slaps for being careless "tujhe sharam nahi aate, aaj bhi ek chote se bache ke tarah, hum sab ke jaan sukhaye rakhe hai .. hadh hoti hai .. laa parwahi ke." leans over to hug but she resists, pushing him away.

"Ammi, kya hogaya hai ?" he kisses her cheek.

"Tu theek hai, your down with fever I got you this soup ?!" maheen enters knocking the door.

"Yup, all good !" he appreciates her.

"Main pee laa doon ?" maheen asks, nervously.

"Nahi, it's okay zoya haina she will feed me kabhi kabaar, ghar walo ka laad pyaar uthane ka mauka milta hai, can't let this go !" he winks at his sister, maheen chuckles, getting his point.

"I will leave you two alone tum bhai behan enjoy karo ek dusre ke company tab tak main ammi se baat karke aye." maheen goes to video call mean while zoya suspiciously raises an eyebrow at him

"What, stop giving me those look ?!" he says, she rolls eyes pushing boil egg into his mouth.

"Shut up, thappad khaaye ga !" she yells, scaring him "kyun bhae kis khushi mein ?" confused like anything "what's going on, tere aur shehnaaz me aakhir chal kya raha hai ?" zoya directly, asked it made him conscious, as he himself wasn't totally aware or ready to accept the feelings, developing in his heart "kuch bhi nahi aap kya fazool me koi bhi story bana laite ho." he acts, cool.
