When they said " pal bhar ke liye Mujhe koi pyaar kar le, jhoota hé Sahi." Our generation took it seriously.

"Where is Dastaan bhai?"
Meerub asked Raju when she didn't see him at the Dining table for breakfast.
No one was present at the dining table.
"Dastaan bhai has gone to Dubai for a meeting," Raju informed her while putting her breakfast on the table.
She waited for him to text and tell him that he is free but why would he leave without telling him?
She is always so confused about Dastaan.
Sometimes he seems the most beautiful person to her in the entire universe, he feels the one but the other days he just feels like her cousin, her elder brother who is nice to her because he is nice to his sisters too.
But, Aahil isn't like Dastaan, Aahil expresses his feelings, he has told her several times how beautiful she is and that's what you want when you, that's the nature of humans, we want to hear it, we need someone to constantly tell us and Meerub was still a teenager.
"You? Who allowed you to drive a car?" Meerub said to Aahil when she came out of university in the evening when the classes ended.
"Probably my physiotherapist said I am fine," Aahil replied opening the front door of his car for her.
"And where is my driver?" Meerub asked when she sat down.
"I asked him to rest for one day," Aahil replied.
"Jab ke rest ki zaroorat Ap ko khud hé."
(When you are the one who needs rest.)
Meerub said.
"Aree, I just wanted to go out, I was so bored sitting at home for more than a week." He replied driving the car.
"I am sorry Aahil," Meerub said looking at her hands.
"Why would you?" He asks looking at the road, driving at slow speed as if he was scared of something.
"I over-reacted that day, if I shouldn't have slapped you, you would have never gone through all this." She seemed Guineanly sorry but all she doesn't know is she triggered his alarm by reminding him of the slap, it hurts his ego every time someone says it.
He stayed silent, not saying a word to her.
"Aahil" she called his name.
He didn't reply. He was hurt. She knew it but she didn't know he was hurt more by her slap in front of his friends and not by accident.
"I am sorry please." She kept her hand on his hand which was on steering.
He looked at her.
"What do you want, Meerub?" He almost shouted.
"Na...nothing." She got scared. And takes her hand away from his.
He stopped his car.
"I am sorry, I didn't mean to shout yar." He said taking her hands into his.
She didn't say anything looked at her hands being held by him.
It felt good.
"Nobody deserves to shout at you, neither me nor Zarnab." He said it reminds her of that day when she shouted at her. And Dastaan shielded her. Why is she thinking of Dastaan again?
"I broke up with her because She shouldn't have yelled at you." He said.
"Break up?" Meerub looked at him.
"But, Leave it. Do you want coffee?" He asked
" I don't know." She replied.
"Okay then let's buy one coffee, you should taste mine and next time we will buy you yours," He said playfully.
He parks his cat in front of a coffee shop, he put his arm behind my seat while looking back. But I kept looking at his blue eyes. His blue eyes, that's what makes me fall for him again and again.
"Do you wanna come with me or should I just buy and have coffee here in the car," Aahil asked taking his seat belt off.
"In the car." She was nervous.
He comes back with a coffee and sandwich in his hand after a few minutes.
He handovers both things, sits down, and wears a seat belt.
"Your coffee," Meerub said.
"Thanks." Aahil took coffee. And had a sip.
"You can have it too." He extended it towards her.
"No, I will have a sandwich." Meerub was still holding the sandwich.
"Okay, then eat it," Aahil said keeping his coffee on the dashboard.
"Maybe I will eat it at home," Meerub said looking at the sandwich.
"He comfortable to eat with me, Meerub. Now eat it." Aahil said again looking at her.
She takes a bit and chews it.
Aahil kept staring at her.
"What are you looking at?" Meerub said
"Your moles, these 3 moles in line on your right Cheek are so beautiful." He touches her face.
"But, this one is more beautiful." She lifts a little shirt from her right collarbone, there's another mole, a little bigger than those on her cheeks. Darker and more beautiful.
"Why would you show me this?" Aahil asked looking at her collarbone first and then her eyes.
She stayed silent, realizing she did a mistake.
He leaned forward towards her collarbone and kissed her mole, he barely touched his lips for 0.2 seconds and then moved back.
But, that bare touch of his lips was enough to excite every single cell of her body.
He didn't say anything and started the car.
She should have said something. She made a huge mistake telling him he can be close enough to have his lips over her body.
But, she was so craving for his attention that she didn't realize what she doing and what will be the consequences.

Meerub was going downstairs to have dinner when she saw everyone gathered in the hall.
Dastaan was sitting there too. He was in his black suit, probably he returned from Dubai.
She was standing upstairs looking down at the hall.
She was so busy looking at Dastaan that she didn't realize a girl was sitting beside him in a white shirt and black pants until Dastaan gave her a cup of tea himself.
Who could she be? She thought.
She saw Fatima coming upstairs.
"Fatima, have any guests come?" She knew there were guests but she didn't how to ask about that girl.
"Yeah, Zumar ayi hé," Fatima replied.
"Who is Zumar?" She was hearing about her for the first time.
"Dastaan Bha's fiancée," Fatima replied.
"Fiancée?" She was shocked and confused at the same time.
