Do Dil Bandhe Ek Dori Sey (ON HOLD)

Chapter 1

A loud scream escapes my mouth as I read the letter in my hands.

"Mom! Allu! " I scream as I run downstairs calling everyone's name.

All my excitement drains as I fall down missing a step resulting me falling on my back. "Ouch!" I scream in pain.

Two familiar figures appear upside down. I mentally close my eyes and curse myself as I knew what was coming next. I smile meekly and stand up dusting the pretend dust off me.

"Assalaamu 'Alaikum Aunty! How are you? Ap ka kese ana hua?" I asked with fake concern in my tone. Hopefully that fakeness was visible.

"kyun nahi a sakti mein?" she cross questions with a smile so fake that even a baby wouldn't even smile back. Wait, does that even makes sense? Whatever!

Before I could reply back to her, Mom answers for me. "Arre, itney dino baad dekha hai na apko, is liye puch rahi hai, kyun?" she looks at me. I give the fakest smile ever and nod.

"Chalo, I'm going to leave now. Take care." Aunty tells mom and hugs her.

"Phele khud ki tou care karey phir auro ko bolna." I mentally said and bid her bye too.

As soon as Mom close the door and turn around, I see anger was vivid on her face. "Ops! Let's try and not go there mom. Okay?" I whisper audible for only me to hear me.

"Haan tuo mein khe rahi thi ke mein- " however I was cut by Mom.

"Yeh kya tarika hai mehmano se baat kar ne ka?" She questioned angrily and I looked down with a pout.

"Not to be mean or anything, but she deserved it." I avowed still looking down.

"Kya matlab?" she question and I raised my head and saw her brows furrowed.

"kuch nahi. Sune tou meine kya keh na hai!" I tired diverting the topic and handed her the letter.

As she read, she covered her mouth and a huge smile appeared on her face. "I'm so proud of you meri jaan!" she said as she kissed my forehead and then hugged me.

"Huh! Yeh kiya ho raha hai?" my Allu asks sarcastically covering her mouth.

"Khud akey pharr lo." I extend my hand with the letter.

She looks at me unsoundly but makes her way towards us and takes the letter with her eyebrow raised. As she read, her eyes kept getting wider and wider.

"Oye phaat jaiyingi teri yeh glamorous ankhiyaan." I laughed.

"Are you serious? Nahi, I... I just can't believe it!" Allu stammered and hugged. "Moti! I'm so proud of you!" she whispered over my shoulder.

"Pata hai." I swanked.

"Umm... meri mithai kahan hai?" I asked faking disappointment.

"Who bhi ajaygi." Mom patted my head and left.

"Moti! Stop eating so much meetha. Already itni moti ho, aur mat ho na. Itni mushkil se tu weight lose kiya tha, phir maat gain karna. Khuda ka vaasta." She literally joined her hands and I laughed at her reaction.

"Ab main itni bhi moti nahi thi. Apni pictures nahi dekhi kabhi? Tu to mujh se bhi double thi. No wonder I call you "Allu"." I mocked and made a run for my life as I knew she would hit me.

"Kamini! Ruk!" she screamed as she ran after me around the entire house knocking a few things down.

"Ahh! Moti uth na mar jaungi mein." I yelled as Allu caught me jumped on me.

"Astaghfirullah! Yeh kya ho raha hai. Itni badi hogai ho tum dono! Ab tu sudhar jao!" Mom shrieked.

"Hum sudharne walo main se nahi hain Ami Jaan." the two of us said in unison. We looked at each other and laughed our butts off.

--------------------------

"Amna, did you call Noor and asked her if she was accepted?" Alia a.k.a Allu asked.

"Shit! I totally forgot to ask her. Lemme do that now!" I grabbed my phone and dialed her phone. After several bells, she answered.

"Letter aya?" we both screamed over the phone in unison.

"Haan!" we answered each other.

"Tera kya bana?" I asked her in a sad tone.

"Yaar tu kaqeen nahi karey gi kya bana!" she replied excitedly. Teri excitement ka bubble phar ke dekh'e. "Yaar I got accepted!" she screamed blowing my ear drums out.

"Really?! Congratz yaar. Khub enjoy karna US main! Aur khub successful bhi ho na." I blessed her in sad tone, hoping she would ask me why I'm not happy.

"What happened to you? Hey don't tell me tera accept nahi hua?" she almost screamed.

I wanted to burst out laughing so bad, but decided to go with the flow. "Haan yaar, nahi hua! But make sure you enjoy for me too." I added some excitement in my fake sad tone.

"Tu ne menu pagal samajh rakha hua hai, huh? Pata hai hoga tera bhi. Acting menu bhi ati hai! Khoti!" she said and I widened my eyes.

"How did you know?" I asked still not knowing how she knew.

"Teri itni bakwaas acting hai ke koi bhi bata de tu acting kar rahi hai." Noor explained.

"By the way, did you start packing?" she asked

"Nope! Abhi shopping karni hai." I told her.

"Haan. Karni tu mujhe bhi hai. Kal chale?"She asked

"Sure why not. Chal talk to you later, dinner time. Allah hafiz." "Allah Hafiz."
