Both of the families were sitting in the living room and Kabir was constantly looking here and there in search if Iqra.
"Bhaiyaa, bhabhi will come na, don't be so impatient" Arhaan whispered.
Kabir just ignored his comment and was waiting for the girl who stole his sleep. The elders were chit chatting and all the youngesters were busy in discussing the premiere of a movie. When Iqra's mother said "izu, betu go call your sister"
Kabir started getting butterflies in his stomach and got anxious. His nervousness came to an end, when he heard footsteps, only to see Iqra coming downstairs with Izza and Kabir was constantly staring at her. She came and sat beside Kabir's mother and didn't dared to look at Kabir and on the other hand he couldn't take his eyes of her.
"Bhai, aese mat ghuro ap ki hi hain" Aryaan mumbled.
(Bhai, don't stare at her, she's yours only)
"Iqra beta go bring tea from the kitchen" Iqra's mother said.
She came and served everyone, lastly she came towards Kabir and asked
"Ap kitni cheeni lein ge"
(How much sugar will you take?)
He was busy admiring her and didn't heard her. Aryaan budged his shoulder into Kabir to get him out if his dream land. He got in his senses and looked at iqra stranding beside him and exclaimed
"Ji?
(Yes?)
"Cheeni?" She said.
(Sugar)
"Oh no sugar" Kabir told her.
"Whatt" she exclaimed.
"Any problem" he said raising an eyebrow.
She nodded negatively and he just chucked at her cute antics and she just gave him tea and went to sit at her place hiding her flushed face. She was sitting opposite him and he was continuously looking at her.
Afterwards Iqra's mother spoke "Bacho jao ap sab bahir lawn mein chale jao, awein yahan hamari bato mein bore ho rhe ho ge"
(Kids, you guys should go in the lawn as you guys might b getting bored)
They all nodded and went out as indeed they were getting bored.
As they reached the lawn Arhaan declared "Every one let's go somewhere else, we should let bhaiya bhabhi talk, right?"
Every one smirked and left the couple alone. The awkward silence was broken by Kabir by saying "You look gorgeous"
"Thankyou" iqra mumbled.
"Can I ask you something?" She said.
"You don't need permission to ask something from me, just go on" He exclaimed.
She blushed and continued "Do you like someone, I mean if you do you can say no to this alliance"
"If I liked someone, I would've never agreed to this alliance" He replied.
"Do you?" He inquired.
She nodded negatively.
"So what are your plans for your future" he eased the situation.
"I wanna become a writer and you know I am writing my first book currently" she announced.
"That's awesome" he claimed.
"What's your passion except business?" She inquired.
"Football" he declared.
"I love guys who play football" she muttered.
He heard her and blushed.
"Iqra, will you agree to this alliance" he questioned.
"Will you?" she fired back.
There was an awkward silence, none of them dared to spoke.
"Listen, iqra you're a very nice girl and on a serious note I would love to marry a person like me who's an introvert, speaks less, takes his work seriously and you are perfect"
He spoke in a single breath and she was stunned.
"Iqra you are a brilliant person and I don't even have an issue to marry you and I will always respect your decision" He announced
She didn't replied and he turned back being rejected when he heard
"No one would be able to refuse after listening to such an awesome speech"
He turned back and saw her looking directly into his eyes, he turned his steps back towards her and said
"You really are writer, making the most dramatic scenario" he chucked.
She just nodded while chuckling "Now you've to handle this writer for the entire life"
"Ready for it" he exclaimed.
She was going back in when he said "number to de jao"
(At least give me your number)
She dialed her number in his cellphone and went away and he was just processing what happened.
They both were now sitting inside when the Ali's got up and Kabir's father "we'll take our leave until both of the families may decide the response"
Every one nodded and bid bye to each other while Kabir was looking at Iqra all the time and she was just looking down blushing.
"Bhaiya, jana bhi ha ghar ya bhabhi ko hi Dekhi jana ha" Arhaan teased.
(Do you wanna go or keep staring at Bhabhi)
They all bid bye to everyone and left for their house.
