"Waseem."

    Sidharth called while keep black slim cigarette between his lips and holding glass of whiskey in another. Waseem knew his sahab is spoiled rotten ever since he was kid and has worst habits of drinking, smoking and many more. He has done every single sin, but waseem can never call them out. He wouldn't dare to

"Jee Mir-sahab."

"Who's more handsome him or me?" His lips curved in playful smirk as he pointed his whiskey glass at Zain, who was peacefully playing game on his phone. He scowl at his cousin before looking back into his screen. They have ditched dawat inside which was held for Sidharth and were chilling alone in backyard

"Ap Mir-Sahab." As everyone expected. Waseem could never take anyone's else name if he's present in room. They knows clearly where elder man's loyalties lays or are they wrong? Sidharth looked at elder man with small smile before looking away with heavy sigh

"Waseem I'm hurt." Zain kept hand over his heart with pout on his lips. Waseem awkwardly looked at younger man, not knowing what to answer him. Zain chuckle lighten up man's mood. "Mazak tha yaar awkward mat hojao." He smiled

"Jee." Waseem nodded

"Shehnaaz ghar wapis gayi." Zain asked and this caught Sidharth's attention

    Shehnaaz. He mumbled her name, he literally has forgotten about her. He wonder what's she's doing nowadays? Is she still dumb in accounts. She better not be. Does she still pouts whenever her demand isn't being fulfilled? Does she still throw tantrums? Now that he's thinking about her. He missed that little stubborn girl. As much annoying she was, she use to be fun and make him laugh with her silly questions

"Nahi, ander bibi maham aur amna ke sath hain." He told Zain who nodded his head

"Usne mujhe salam tak nahi kiya waseem." Sidharth bring whiskey glass against his lips with complain. His voice came out deep because consummation of liquor. Honestly speaking he has taken it to heart. He was back after 5 years and she hasn't even came to greet him once. She use to follow him around everywhere five years ago

"Mujhe toh salam kiya thori der phely tum nazar nahi aye hoge use." Zain reasoned. So he's only one whom she hasn't greeted

"Jee esa he hoga warna wo toh srif apse milne he ayi thi ap toh jante ho use." Waseem also nodded. His daughter respects him more than anyone else and she only came to meet and congratulate him , since he was back after so long and was going to be engaged in coming days

"Srif mujhse milne ayi aur mujhse he nahi mili."

    He spoke out blowing puff of smoke out. Smoke cover his vision when he heard soft giggles coming from entrance of backyard. They sound familiar even after hearing them after years. Sidharth knows to whom they belong and slowly smoke started to mix with wind and clear view in front of his eyes. His eyes caught breathtaking sight of her, laughing freely with hand over her mouth. Her hazel bewitching eyes squeezing, which makes them appear shorter. Her raven hair way longer than before. They goes bellow her lower back and so silky and smooth that his hands itch to run hand through them or wrap them around his fingers. He's completely captivated by her beauty
