The lights were twinkling as the scent of flowers and henna was roaming in the whole mansion .
Mansion was adorned beautifully like a bride , hustle bustle festival rushe was all you can hear now ,"Aihan!yeh phool kahan rakhne ko kaha tha mene??" Mrs.Sikander shouted from somewhere .
" Ya Allah chota hona azaab kyu hai?!"he exclaimed loudly and fell on the couch . He whined like while throwing his arms in the air.
"Are are mirigi chadh rhi hai kya tujhe pagal." Abeeha said while enjoying the apple ," Aapii ~ " he whined further like little kid.
Abeeha was still not really she was still in her casual, eating her apple she laughed at her brother."Kya huwa aese kyu machal rahe ho?" she asked while still focusing on her apple .Aihan straighten a bit as finally someone was here to hear him out .
Of course he is 21 years old , I know that it can be hard to believe when he acts like that .
"Aapi dekho na woh Aiza Jo mujh se teen mahine choti wo araam karrhi hai aur mai yaha kal se kaam karrha hoon ." he said with anger ,he looked like just any teen defying to work .
Abeeha looked at her younger brother , as she throw the eaten apple in the nearest bin and walked to Aihan as she hugged him ."Aww mera bechara Bhai , woh Aiza tumhe bohot pareshan krti hai na ?" she consoled him as sniffed more into her .
He nodded like a child , Abeeha patted his back as she understands him , Abeeha cares alot for her younger brother .Both of them were so busy in that moment that they didn't notice someone approaching them.
"Kya karrhe hai mere do puttar yaha ?" Mrs.Shah asked while detaching both of them by holding their ears ."Ahh!!"both of them groaned together .
"Amma amma chodhen toh !" Abeeha whined in pain as she pleaded to her mother to leave her ear."Amma ! dukhta hai na please."
"Humne kiya kya hai Jo aap hume saza de rahe ho ."Aihan also struggled ,"Zaroor tumne kuch kaam nhi Kara hoga Aihan ke bacche ab dekho tumhari wajah se mujhe bhi saza mil rhi hai." Abeeha blamed Aihan for their pain , and here they back went to their normal self , like they were not hugging and comforting just a minute ago.
"Aapi-" Aihan opened his mouth to defend himself ,but he shut his mouth back when his aunt left their ear ,"Chup Karo tum dono , lado mat aur mai na tum dono ko bohot marungi aaj ," she said while glaring at both of them .
"Abeeha beta jb sab aajayenge aap tb tayyar hogi ya hum aap ke per pade ke tayyar ho jao ." She scolded Abeeha first as Abeeha shook her head .
"Sorry amma ." She said in low voice , as she hurriedly side hugged her and give her a peck on cheek before running away . "Are-*chuckle*" Mrs.Shah couldn't help but chuckle at her cute gesture .
Aihan on the other side was taking the advantage of this moment as he scooted away to run away from his aunt's scolding .
"Aur tum Aihan-"When mrs.Shah turned to Aihan , he was gone okay he escaped making her chuckle more as she shook her head."badmaash dono."
Looking at his reflection in the mirror he anxiously combed his hair , designed jade green coat over a cream kurta with patterns on it . He wore his gold rolex wrist watch still lost in his deep thoughts.
Only one thing was troubling him ,how to confront Zainab, he would never keep her out of truth.Their nikkah was happening soon and he hasn't talked to her yeet.
Slamming the Itar's bottle on the table , he decides to confront her right now .It can't be more delayed.
Walking out of his room he started going to Zainab's room ,he was only thinking to confront not about anything else , "Ouch ! Bhai Jaan sambhaal kar." Aiza groaned as she was hit by his shoulder when he was walking in rage , but Jihan didn't care much he walks away .
Aiza just rolled her eyes ,"Ajeeb ." shrugging shoulder she moves on .
Standing outside of Zainab's room door he inhales and exhale to calm the rush in body , as he knocked on her door ."Kon?" she asked softly from the other side .
He sighed before answering ,"Zainab Bibi mai hoon Jihan ." he said calmly .After few seconds she finally opens the door and before he could breath further , she took it away casually with just a glance at her .
She was looking breath taking , woolen heavy carved at the edges chocolate color garara with her green net dupatta , perfect fresh dewy makeup was enough for her features to shine out , her hairs were braided with hair accessories.
His eyes moved from her glod forehead ornament to her eyes then he notices her nose ring then his eyes lands on her lips ,as hardly gulp ."Jihan !" she yell out his name as he finally recovers from her beauty attack , realising what he was doing he closes his mouth and looked away while clearing his throat.
"Astagfirullah,*he cursed himself* ya Allah yeh toh meri namaze zaya kra dengi aaj ." he muttered in his breath.
"ji?"she asked innocently , as he kept his eyes down not wanting to get lost in her beauty again ," Aap bahir aajayein mujhe aap se kuch baat karni hai." he told her in his raspy voice , although his voice sounded calm but his heart was going crazy right now only he knows.
Zainab looked here and there before looking back at him ."Aap kamre mai aajayein na warna phir bahir koi dekhegga toh faltu Mai sawaal karega ." She said and invited him in her room .
"Lekin--*sighed* theek hai chalen." All he wanted is to talk and he can't risk this chance to do it.
"Mashallah Mashallah , accha sajaya hai tumne Ruqqaiyah Bano ." Mr.Shah's elder sister aka Shehzadi Shah complimented Mrs.Sikander who was ordering something to the maid .
"Ji shukriya aapa aap bethiiye sab ke saath mai bacchon bulati hoon ." she told her.
"Aree Bano tum betho , Laila jao beta tum jao apne beheno ko bula lao ." She pulled mrs.Sikanded by her wrist to sit next her.
As Laila nodded and walked upstair to call Zainab , but her steps helded as Abeeha and Aiza stops her ." Aap Kahan jaarhi ho ?" Aiza asked .
Laila smiles at them before answering, "Kyu Aiza ab tumhe bta kar khi jaana padega kya ? Aur bas amma ke kehne par tum logo ko aur Zainab bulane aayi thi ." she said with sarcasm in her tone.
"Aapi aap chaliye hum leke aate hai Zainab aapi ko ."
