کہ بھی دے دل میں تیرے ہے جو چھپا
خواہش ہے جو تیری

Keh bhi dil mein tere jo hai chipa, khwaish hai jo teri.

Zeeshan smiled seeing a pleasant scene unfolding before his eyes. It was now something that he should get used to but he knew even if he did, this would still feel surreal to him.

Noor in this setting felt good to see. Her presence had engraved itself around him within few days. The small apartment he used to come back to everyday felt like home. It screamed of home, for someone was so right that home is a person not place.

"Zeeshan?" Noor called making him smile, he had been staring at her. She raised her eyebrows and removed her troubling bangs away from her face. He shook his head.

Moving towards her he stopped just behind her. Raising  his  hands he removed her claw clip from her hair and kept it aside.
Noor froze feeling his hands gently collect her hair. She could feel him wrap them in a bun and then secured it with the claw clip. She smiled at this but the very next moment her breath hitched feeling his hand gently caress the side of her neck.

"Better now? " he whispered near her ear making her close her eyes at the intensity. Stepping aside he again took his position and leaned on the counter. She glanced at him...how was this all even real.

"Noor, chai!" Zeeshan exclaimed making her jerk and turn towards the boiling tea that was about to overflow.

It had been just a week to the day Noor had stepped in this place. After her residency Noor decided to shif to Patna and continue here. Luckily she received an offer from a prestigious hospital and she didn't wait to accept that. Armaan had gave her a green flag, even her seniors were positive about this opportunity. And she didn't miss it. Her family was more than happy, for her growth and also for certain someone who  hadn't hid his excitement.

The moment Noor broke this news to him he was over the moon to say the least.

"I am so happy for you Noor I can't even tell you!" He had exclaimed excitedly like a child.

"But I am more than happy that finally we will be together." He had added with such a smile that Noor could swear she hadn't seen something more beautiful than that.

And so here she was, with him trying to adjust to this setting as  quickly as possible. It felt like a cakewalk. All the efforts he was making was filling the gap that had existed between them.
