Love's Unforseen Twist

25

As the cousins gathered, their hearts brimming with joy, the elders granted their precious permission. However, Haania, burdened by her little son Ahad's illness, had to stay behind. She reassured Zayed, saying, "Don't worry, Zayed. Go and enjoy with your cousins. I'll take care of Ahad, and you know elders are there with me. I will enjoy with them at home."

Zayed, touched by his wife's selflessness, smiled affectionately and pulled her into a side hug. With a heavy heart, he bid Haania farewell and embarked on the adventure that awaited him.

In the car, Zakir took the wheel, Zayed occupying the passenger seat. The four girls giggled in the back, while Hassan, Kahshan, and Adnaan settled in the rear. Excitement filled the air as they set off, eager for the unforgettable moments that lay ahead.

Haania was playing with her adorable baby Ahad, their laughter filling the room. Suddenly, Ahad's tiny face scrunched up, and he let out a heart-wrenching cry. Haania's motherly instincts kicked in, and she knew she had to find out what was wrong. She gently cradled Ahad in her arms, whispering soothing words as she made her way downstairs to the kitchen.

The scent of warm milk filled the air, and Haania knew that was just what her hungry little one needed. With a loving smile, she prepared a bottle of milk, ready to nourish and comfort her precious baby boy.

Haania's heart raced as she entered the kitchen, her eyes widening in disbelief at what she saw. It was a sight that sent shivers down her spine, making her question her own sanity. A million thoughts raced through her mind, and she couldn't help but wonder, "Should I tell Zayed about this?" The weight of the secret felt heavy on her shoulders, and she knew she couldn't keep it to herself any longer. With a determined resolve, she decided to confide to her husband, seeking his guidance and support in this bewildering situation.

As the cousins planned their mischievous scheme, they playfully winked at Zakir, causing him to blush. He replied, "Wait for my turn, guys." They all teasingly chimed in, "Yes, yes, it's your turn only, bhai." Laughter and giggles filled the air, creating a joyful atmosphere.

Their first stop was to pick up Zainab from her home. When she stepped outside and saw Zakir's cousins, she was taken aback. They greeted her in unison, saying, "Assalamualaikum bhabijaan." Zainab blushed and felt a bit awkward. Zakir gave his cousins a stern look, realizing they were making it difficult for his beloved fiance. But they couldn't resist teasing the lovebirds, making the situation even more amusing.

Upon arriving at the mall, Zainab and Zakir were given the chance to explore together, while the others split into groups. Hassan and Adnaan ventured to the men's section, while the girls flocked to the makeup counter, except for Sarah. With no interest in makeup, Sarah politely declined and set off to find something that captured her attention.

Meanwhile, Kashan finished his call with his assistant and decided to join the rest of the group. However, to his surprise, no one was there. He searched for Zayed, Hassan, Adnaan, and the girls, but they were nowhere to be found. His eyes then landed on a familiar figure - Sarah. She seemed lost, searching for something. Kashan approached her and greeted her with a friendly "Hi!" Sarah, startled by his sudden presence, responded with a timid "Hi" of her own.

He then asked her, "Do you know whre is everyone?"

She replied politely, "I don't know about Zayed Bhai and Hassan but Humaira and all other girls are at makeup counter."

Kashan nodded, but his gaze kept darting around, unable to find the boys. Sensing his unease, Sarah decided to break away from the dress shop. She politely approached the shopkeeper and said, "Thank you but I don't want to buy anything"

As Sarah started to leave, the shopkeeper called out, "But ma'am, you seemed so interested in this dress!"

Sarah politely declined again and quickly made her way out of the shop. Kashan, who had been observing the situation, followed Sarah and caught up with her. "Let's go together," he suggested, offering a reassuring smile.

As they walked side by side, Zayed suddenly appeared, a puzzled expression on his face. "Sarah, what are you doing here? Where are the other girls?" he asked.

Sarah replied, "Bhai, they're at the makeup counter."

Zayed nodded, understanding the situation. "Well, you should hang out with them," he suggested.

Sarah nodded in agreement, and Kashan, relieved to have found Zayed, chimed in, "It's good that I found you, Zayed Bhai. I was actually searching for all of you."

Zayed acknowledged Kashan's words with a hum and walked alongside Sarah, joining her as they made their way towards the makeup counter. The group was finally reunited, ready to continue their fun-filled day together.

"Alright guys, let's order something. I'm already starving," Humaira exclaimed eagerly.

"Please, bhai, order something," Laiba pleaded with Zayed, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Hmm, you all sit tight. Hassan, come with me," Zayed replied and was accompanied by Hassan.

While Zayed and Hassan went off to place the order, Adeeba suggested, "Let's find a place to sit." They all searched until they finally found a spot. The girls sat together, with Sarah beside them, Adnaan on one side, and Kashan on the other, leaving two empty chairs for Zayed and Hassan.

Meanwhile, the boys returned, their hands full of delicious food. They had zingers, cold drinks, and sandwitches. The sight of the food made everyone's mouths water, and their hunger intensified. "Yumm," Adnaan couldn't help but let out a satisfied sound.

Sarah playfully hit him and said, "Don't do that." Adnaan made a funny face and exclaimed, "Ouch Aapi! Why do you always hit me? Am I a punching bag?" Laughter and giggles filled the air as everyone enjoyed the light-hearted moment.

Zayed turned to Sarah and asked, "Sarah, could you please sit beside Laiba?" She nodded with a smile and made her way over to join Laiba. Zayed sat between Adnaan and kashan. They all had a fantastic time, savoring the delicious food and creating cherished memories together.
