Der lagi aane mein tum ko

shukr hai phir bhi aaye to

aas ne dil ka saath na chhoda

vaise hum ghabrae toh

Mahira's POV

I was in my office when mama called me.I know she is going to lecture me again anyways.

Me-hello

Mama-kaisi ho?

Me-mein theek hu?aap kaise ho?baaki sab kaise hai?

Mama-mein theek hu or baaki sab bhi.Mahnoor kaisi hai?

Me-woh bhi theek hai

Mama-office mein ho?

Me-haan or kaha hungi.

Mama-accha Kam kaisa chal Raha hai?

Me-theek hi chal raha hai.

Mama-Mahira

Me-mama please.

Mama-kya hai yeh mahi.Jab bhi mein tumse kuch kehne ki koshish karti hu humesha aise hi karti ho.Kabhi meri ek nahi sunti.

Me-aaplogo ne meri suni thi tab?

Mama-Hum aapni vajah bata chuke hai aapko or 4 saal hogaye jaane ke ekbaar bhi vapas Pakistan nahi aayi aap?Humse naraz thi mana,lekin aise karne se kaise chalega?Sab kuch chodke saare rishte naate chodhke aap toh London nahi gayi thi.Toh aab aise kyu kar rahi hai?Aapko pata hai aab toh Rayyan Pakistan vapas aake. Junaid Bhaisahab ka business sambhal rahe hai or mashallah business bohot accha chal Raha hai aab.

Me-Aap mujhe yeh sab na bataye

Mama-Kyu na batau.Aakhir tumhe bhi pata ho Mera beta kitna accha hai.

Me-Aapka beta?or mujhe paraya kar diya.

Mama-Rayyan bohot accha ladka hai Mahira.Usse ek mauka toh do tum.Accha chalo batao vapas kab aarahi ho?

Me-shayad 2 ya 3 saal baad?

Mama-Ohh 2 ya 3 saal baad?Mere paas na ek accha idea hai.Tum vapas hi maat aao,mein Rayyan ko London bhej deti hu.

Me-What?Nahi nahi mein toh mazak kar rahi thi mama aap bhi na,mazak ko bhi seriously le leti ho.

Mama-haan haan mein bhi mazak hi kar rahi thi.Vapas aarahi ho ya nahi?

Me-Dekhti hoon.

I reluctantly ended the call, sighing in frustration as I realized I had to go back to Pakistan. Despite knowing that Ramizah Azmi had gotten married and my husband was no longer interested in her but rather in me, I couldn't shake off the uncomfortable feeling of being unprepared for this new chapter in our relationship. Trust me when I say it feels incredibly awkward picturing myself and him together now.

Guess what? Despite my best efforts, it seems that I am currently unable to take any action at this moment.

So I have to return back!

After sometime Mahnoor came to my cabin.

"You wanna go back Pakistan?"I asked her.

"No I can't leave you alone here"this was my pyaari sister's answer.

"I am also going wid you"I told her.

"What?You decided to go back?"she asked me

"Yeah" I replied.
