"Salam baba-jaan! Despite you being annoying I missed my hairdresser so much!" Zara jumps to embrace him in tight hug
"Walaikumsalam and despite you being pain in ass I missed my daughter more" He kissed on her head. She pouted fake angrily but gave away smile when he smiled
"Muma!" She next runs to hugs her mother before giving her kiss on cheeks "Mene apko zyda yaad kiya baba se no lies!" She can tell her father is rolling his eyes with hands shoved in pockets
"Flight kesi thi? Jet lag?" Shehnaaz run hand through Zara's hair softly with gentle smile on her face. Zara shook her head
"Aly beta ap kese ho?" Shehnaaz asked her son in law whom Sidharth was ignore shamelessly like he's not even there. This wasn't new nor she expected anything from him but at least he could send small smile or shake hand with young man
"I'm good Mrs gabool thanks for asking" Aly politely with his cold face
"Very well chalo ander and have dinner I'm sure sab ate honge" Shehnaaz tell them all, it was weekend means they all do dinner at their place. Weekend in their families are about dinner at Sidnaaz's place ever since they got married. Zara was still glued to her, she shared look with Aly
"Shukhriya for including me in your dinner plans lekin mujhe Lahore ki flight catch krke ami aur baba se milna hai" Aly spoke which made Shehnaaz sad and zara sigh, she knows he's doing it because of her father
"Going little late won't give your father heartache" Sidharth said coldly after noticing expressions on his wife's face
"Sidharth" Shehnaaz was again disappointed
"Baba!" Zara was in disbelief
"What? Iska baab mere bachpan ka dost hai so I can speak about him however I want!" He spoke in defensive tone
"You need to work on your communication skills no wonder ap nanu ka BP hamesha high krdete ho!" Zara said
"Unki umar hogayi hai-"
Sidharth stoped and clear his throat after looking at his wife. Words hurt her more than actions and she's too sensitive sometimes he really hates it about her and sometimes he loves it, she's literally senior surgeon who perform surgeries on people yet she gets all teary seeing any of them with even single scratches
"So ap ruk rahe ho haina?" Shehnaaz asked young man who nodded. Sidharth fight urge to smirk. Kauf hai bhai ka
He actually likes Aly. He has always liked him even when he was working with him as commissioner but problem was his behaviour with zara. His behaviour made Sidharth think it could turn into something abusive which made him not like their relationship before and still he wasn't sure. For him zara is just 21 year old girl who doesn't even know 1 percent of world he has seen. He has dealt with all kind of people and can tell who's who by just look, reason he has selective people around him
He will make sure Aly behaves with his daughter or else he won't mind committing another murder for his family
"Tum agayi kya?" Zorawer came downstairs dressed up in white polo shirt and straight brown trousers. Freshly shaved and showered
