MANNAT : His desire

11. PAST: HALDI SHOPPING

ONE YEAR AGO.
DURING THE TIME OF SHIMZA'S WEDDING.
...........

"Mannat, when are you leaving for shopping?" Shimza asked mannat when everyone was at the breakfast table.

"Just after breakfast," mannat replied.

"You are going shopping, but for what?" "Naymat, who doesn't know about this. asked while eating her favorite pancakes.

"For Shimza's Haldi's dress material, I designed that a long time ago for her haldi (Indian wedding ritual), but I never got the chance to create it." Mannat said "Now that we have only 5 days left until her function, I have to work on it."

"No, you are coming with me, I have to shop for our accessories. Remember, we have to wear everything the same, so I am going to need your suggestion too." Naymat responded as it was her idea for mannat and her to wear identical outfits to Shimza's wedding.

"Whatever you choose will be nice, naymat, and I love your choice," mannat said to her.

"No, I am not going alone." Naymat said. just when everyone heard a chair screeching and someone sitting on it. It was kabir. "Where?" he asked, looking at naymat. Kabir arrived at their home in the morning after mannat's father summoned him for some work...

"Nowhere," she replied immediately. Seeing that naymat is not going to reply,

"She is asking me to accompany her to the mall, she has to shop for some accessories, but unfortunately, I am busy for the whole day." Mannat replied to kabir on naymat's behalf. Then she looks toward Shimza and gives her a wink because both know what is going to happen now.

"So what, I will accompany her," kabir said as he moved his chair closer to naymat and said in a low voice, " right wife...? just loud enough for naymat to hear.

"Din main sapne dekhne ki aadat ho chuki hai lgta hai tumhe." Naymat stomped her foot on kabir's foot, and then continued. "I am not your wife." Everyone saw this and giggled because they are all aware of naymat and kabir's nature.

"Mannat, it's ok if you are busy today. we will be shop tomorrow," she promised...

"Actually, I'm already booked for tomorrow, and Shimza's dress will take a long time to prepare, so... Now you have only one option." Mannat stated, and it is true because she has a lot of work on shimza dress, and now everyone knows what naymat's only option is...

"Me," kabir said as he stood up from the table. Though naymat put all her strength into hitting his foot, Kabir barely felt anything.

"No, definitely not. I have a better choice, and I would love to go alone." She said as even she stood up from the table in irritation. She doesn't want to go alone, but she doesn't want to go with kabir either.

"No, you are not going alone... Take kabir with you," father of these three beautiful daughters, said. He is reading his newspaper, but all eyes and ears are on his daughter's conversation.

"No, Dad I'll go by myself. "Naymat insisted, but he pretended like he didn't hear anything and continued reading his newspaper.

Naymat and kabir left home early for their shopping in kabir's car, and it's clear from naymat's expression that sharing the same air with kabir is a torture for her.

Mannat left her home as her cab came to pick her up at 1 o'clock. She went to the famous fabric shop, where all of the clothes are expensive, but she had been saving up for this for a long time because she wanted her sister to look perfect every day. And as she calculates the material expenses, everything is in her budget. She knows the owner of the shop, Mr. parwez he is her father's friend. Mr. perwez is a very friendly and approachable man, so just as he saw mannat in the store, He began to walk toward her.
