Almeer and Noor were in their bedroom.

Noor- Achanak se Zoha baji ke rishte wale? Tumhein pata tha mehmaan aa rahe hai.
( Zoha baji's in-laws suddenly? Did you know guests were coming?)

Almeer- Mujhe to kuch nahi bataya tha baba ne. Unhone to mangni ke liye tareekh bhi fix kar li.
( Dad didn't informed me anything about this. He even fixed the date for engagement.)

Noor- Waise log to ache hain sivay ek ke.
( Well people are good except one.)

Almeer- Koun bura lag gaya tumhein bhyii?
( Whom did you hate now?)

Noor- Tumne dekha tha wo Shahzan bhai ki jo behen thi kya naam tha uska wo tumhein kaise dekh rahi thi. Jabki baba ne bataya tha ye hamari bahu Noor.
(Did you noticed how Shahzan bhai's sister was seeing you. Even when Baba told she is our daughter in law Noor.)

Noor was so lost in speaking and Almeer realized she is being jealous. He coughed as a sign so that she can realize what she is saying.

Almeer- So Are you feeling jealous?

Noor- Hey I'm not jealous okay mai tumhein bata rhi hu bas.
( Hey I'm not jealous okay I'm just telling you.)

Almeer- Yeah Yeah I'm seeing.

AFTER A FEW DAYS

Noor and Almeer were shopping in a mall for Zoha's engagement ceremony.

Noor was trying on some earrings and Almeer was helping her.

Noor- Ye dekho ye kaisa lag raha hai..
( See how does this one looks?)

A familiar voice came from behind

" Hey Noor kaisi ho..?"

{ Noor had changed her school.}

Noor saw that Sarah, her ex classmate was standing behind Almeer.

Noor- Sarah tum yaha . Kaafi dino bad milna hua.
( Sarah you here. We met after a long time.)

Sarah- Han tumne school change kar lia na.
( Yes you changed the school right.)

Almeer stood up and turned behind. Sarah was shocked to see him.

Sarah- Tum inhe janti ho?
( Do you know him?)

Noor- Ji han kyu?
( Yes why?)

Noor realised she is shocked to see her crush with someone else as their husband.

Sarah- Aap dono relationship me hain?
( Are you guys involved in a relationship?)

Almeer- Ji nahi niqah mein hai.
( No we are involved in niqah.)

Sarah- Whattt!

Almeer- Noor hamein aur bhi shopping karni hai. Konse jhumke pasand aaye tumhe?
( Noor we have to buy more things. Which earring do you like?)

Sarah was shattered. Noor saw her pale face. Both the couples purchased a set of beautiful silver earrings and left the place. Sarah was standing there like a stone statue, watching them leave with her mouth opened.

Almeer- Yahi hai wo Sarah.
( This is the Sarah.)

Noor- Tumne uske chehre ki udasi dekhi. Palak jhapakte hi bilkul waqt badal diye jazbaat badal diye zindagi badal di hogaya uska.
( Did you saw her sadness? Her expressions were changed in the blink of an eye.)

They both completed the shopping and left for home.

THE ENGAGEMENT DAY

Noor was doing the last touch-ups of her makeup. Almeer entered the room.

Almeer- Noor chalein mehman  aagay---

He was speechless. He whispered the "Hayee" just like that of the reception day.

Noor turned back and reached near Almeer.

Almeer gave his hand and Noor kept her hand in his.

The function went well.

NEXT MORNING

Noor was dressed for her school. Today is also the first day of Almeer's university. He was doing the course of finance and banking. Noor was ready and was about to leave the room when Almeer stopped her.

Almeer- Mere sath chalo mai drop kar dunga.
( Come with me I'll drop you.)

Noor- Aaj tumhari uni hai na?
( Today is your university?)

Almeer- Tumhare school ke paas hi hai.  Abse mai hi drop karunga. Pick karne classes ke time ke hisab se dekh lenge.
( Its near your school. From now onwards I'll drop you. About picking you up, we'll manage according to the time of lectures.)

Noor- Chalo.

They both head towards the school. Noor opened the car gate to step out.

Almeer- Suno
( Listen)

Noor- Ha?

Almeer- Wo jo ladka tha tumhari class mein uska kya naam hai?
( That boy from your class what was his name?)

Noor- Koun? Faisal?
( WhO Faisal?)

Almeer- Haa Faisal. Konsi class me hai.
( Yeah Faisal. In which class he is?)

Noor- Ofc 9th

Almeer- Okay ab jao
( Okay now go.)

Noor- Tum kyu puch rahe ho?
( Why are you asking?)

Almeer- Aise hi.

Noor stepped out and Almeer went to her old school. He connected a phone call and asked his friend, Arbaaz, to come outside the building.

Arbaaz studied in the same school and he knew Faisal.

Almeer- Le aa usey
( Call him)

Arbaaz- Ji bhai school ke bad le ata hu.
( Yes brother I'll call after school.)

Almeer- Ek kaam kar tu usey 3 baje Zamzama park le aa.
( You do a thing. Bring him to Zamzama park at 3 p.m)

Arbaaz- Jaisa aap kaho bhai.
( As you say brother.)
