" Dekhti hain Jis tarah se Teri nazare mujhe , mein khud ko chupau kaha "
~ Shaista

Uvais and Shaista got down together. Uvais informed Shaista that they'll be having their breakfast at his parents home .

The way he said home made her miss her more. She never ever stayed this far from her mom even though it's only a route of half an hour .

Uvais got a call and excused himself from the hall

" Assalamualaikum Layla Aunty" Shaista greeted to the head maid.

" Walaikum Assalam Beta, Mashallah bhot pyaari lag Rahi ho " Layla replied smiling happily.

Shaista gave her a delicate smile and asked a few things about her , from how long she was working and for her surprise the maid was working for Uvais family, from the the time When Uvais was just 10 .

Later she was made the head maid for Uvais's Mansion.

" Tum pehli ladki ho jisne Uvais baba Ghar leke aaye . Kabhi padhayi kabhi job isme hi wo apna waqt bita dete they. Badi Malikayan ke baar baar bolne par bhi wo Shaadi karne keliye taiyaar ni they aur aap se Shaadi karne ka Irada jab unhone ne sab ke samne kaha toh Ghar me Shehnaiyaan bajne lagi. Noor ho aap is ghar ki Choti Malikayan " said Layla

Shaista was flushed with pink Hue. She herself did not understand why her body was reacting this sensitively to Layla's words.

" Ji Aunty mujhe Aap Shaista bulaye " Shaista replied

" Wo kaisa choti Malikayan , Uvais baba gussa karengey" the maid exclaimed

" Ji wo kuch nahin bolengey aap mujhe naam se bulaye, accha nahin dikhta jab bade choto ko Malikayan naam se bulaye " Shaista replied politely

The maid nodded meekly and left the room.

Uvais returned back and saw Shaista curiously watching the family photo he placed on one of his wall.

" Kal se waha tum bhi dikhogi " he said which made Shaista startled at his sudden actions.

"J.ji matlab "

" Matlab ki chalo hame jaana hain , hamara breakfast hone ke baad photographer aayega family photo lene " he replied

Shaista nodded.

Both Uvais and Shaista started to Uvais's house.

As soon as they arrived they were showered with love and greetings from the family members.

" Mashallah bhot pyaari dikh Rahi ho baccha " Aaliya complimented

" Thank you Mama " Shaista replied
