Iztiraar

13.

Aurad pouted sadly at his dead phone. He tapped the screen. "Huh! It was 58% off kese ho gya!" He mumbled. Meanwhile his Zumra frozed at the entrance of his room.

"Zumi? What's wrong moti?" He asked narrowing his eyes. She looked down hiding her tears. Nodding in no.

"Bhai.. ap mama ko keys de aaye?" She asked clearing her throat.

Aurad narrowed his eyes at his sister's red face. He took calculative steps and scanned her face. Making her shiver, looking away.

"Kya hua? Ek baar puchunga dusri baar .." he said raising his hands to tickle her. With mischievous smile.

A sob left her lips.. making him frown. He quickly pulled her into his arms. "I want mama.. ammi.. ke paas jana h" she said like a small kid. For him she was a kid.

"Bacha.. ammi ohhh noo! Holy strawberry! Me toh ammi or Arain ka bhul hi gya.. i need to fetch this keys to them.. tum aaogi?" She nodded in yes. Whatelse she will say?

Meanwhile Rumana came meekly fidgeting her fingers.

She tapped Aurad's shoulder gaining his attention. He smiled lightly and kneeled down. "Btaye kya hukum chote aka" he said flirty. Rumana giggled and mouthed.. with actions.

"Let Zumi appi stay.. plz...plzzzzz" she mouthed with her most puppy eyes.

Zumra smiled and pouted at her brother. He shrugged nodding in yes. "As if girls can agree with me? Right" he said making them squeal.

Rumana dragged Zumra to her room, happily. After a long time Rumana was opening up with someone other than Jibran and Juman.

Aurad took the spare keys and quickly drove to his own house. Meanwhile Juman's car entered the porch from other side. She hoped down the car, with rage fire blazing her eyes. Even the watchman feared and quickly caught the keys to park her car, which threw in his directions. She marched inside to his room. "AURAD!!" but no one was there. The room seems empty and messed up. He was too lazy to clean it up.

She seethed in purr anger, gritting her teeths.. she motioned the maid to come closer. "Zumra is here? Where is she?" Juman asked being on the edge of patience.

"Upstairs, Rumi baby dragged her to her room" the maid said shivering. She gave a nod and marched upstairs. Pushing the doors to open with loud noise. Two girls flinched playing name, place, animal, thing. As it was Rumana's favourite.

Zumra flinched and was scared of Juman's anger. She remembered Aurad's few words.

Juman smiled at Rumana and turned to her with same smile. "Sweety, where is ur brother?" She asked sensing her fear.

"He went to give keys to ammi. She just arrived with the guests" Zumra said informing her. Juman hummed.

"Will u do me favour darling?" She asked sweetly. Zumra's heart felt numerous emotions. She always desired for an elder sister.

"Ji appi" she nodded agreeing.

"I am in my room, when ur brother arrives. Ask him to meet me. Its important" Juman said making her nod. Asking about their dinner. She marched back to her room. Changing into her comfortable cloths. She sat reading a criminal book. To kill the damn time.

While here Aurad hoped down the car and saw his mother and Arain standing on the entrance with a small baby in his arms. The baby is hardly a month.

"Asslamulaikum, sorry me kaam me tha" he said and quickly unlocked the door. Arain dragged his suitcase.

Aurad quickly rushed to kitchen filling the two glasses with water he marched out in the lounge. After sipping water. His ammi eyed him to order dinner for Arain.
