Iztiraar

51.

Arain glared at the report card with his purple eyes. His eyes widened at the F grade in maths! Scanning her report card, he turned at his daughter who was standing like a criminal in his father's office. Aurad muffled his smile, Arain glared at his daughter whose school uniform was all dirty, her tie was going to the west and her small two braids were messed up. Indeed she was a great troublesome at school.

His phone rang, he again eyed his girl as it was her class teacher's call. "Sir, your daughter is too naughty, she had a huge fight with one of her senior and when principal ma'am asked her stop hitting the boy, she made her ran the whole staff run behind her" she complained and ended the call. Shafaq eyed her mamu, who opened his arms welcoming her after her messed up day.

"I didn't do anything mamu" she says pouting. "I know my love, let your dad get bald collecting ur complaints lets party yeah?" He says making her giggle.

Arain shooked his head. Aurad loved kids to no extent. He was a person who can spoil kids to no limit, he just knew one thing kids are handled with love. That's all.

"Aurad no ice cream" Arain reminds as Shafaq had was too sensitive and catch cold easily.

"Alright bro" saying this Aurad leaves with his 6 years old neice. Meanwhile Zumra enters his cabin with a huge tiffin with biryani, her special biryani. She found Arain sighing dejection, a frown on his face made her pout sadly.

"Kya hua apko sir? Apke muh pr 13 kyu baje huye?" She asked placing the huge tiffin box on the table.

"Ye dekho tumari beti ka result, kya hoga iss ladki ka?" He said rubbing his forehead. She shooked her head and picked up her result. She gasped audibly making his raise eyebrows, she smiled cheekily at him. He facepalmed. "Hmm toh kya smjhi tum?" He asked calmly. "Yhi ki Shaffu me mere genes bhi h" she said giggling. Arain shooked his head and smiled.

"Koi baat nhi abhi choti h, ne smjhaongi usse, infact me khud ab usko tutor krungi ap preshan na ho" she says lovingly. He smiles at her words. Soon she served him the hot and spicy biryani she specially prepared for him. He loved the aroma and so the taste. "Kesi bani h?" She asked with hopeful eyes. Her duo eyes filled with excitement and hopes he smiled, "bhot achi, padai me B+ he sahi lekin cooking me toh tum AA + ho" he says making her blush.

He chuckled at her and ruffled her hair. To which she pouted, "me bachi thodina hu?" "Hmm I know" he says shrugging. Having a small conversation she left not before fixing his tie to which he stiffened and controlled himself. Zumra was either too naive or too naughty.

"Mamu you love me?" Asked Shaffu having her ice cream. "Ofcourse i do" Aurad shrugged. "Toh hum bade hokar shadi karle?" She asked with excitement to which he chuckled. "Hmm shadi?

Meanwhile He spotted Juman entering the ice cream parlour with Rumana. She was here to spent some time with Rumana and Alizey. As rumi also needed some air and change in environment after Jibran's ignorance.

His eyes shined seeing her cladded in simple white suit. She looked simply beautiful. "Baby want to an angle?" He asked turning to shafaq. Who nodded in yes, he pointed at Juman. Shafaq giggled and yelled loudly, "ANGLE, aesa mamu bol rhe apko!" The crowd turned with stares and judgmental gazes at Aurad. Who shamelessly winked at Juman. Rumana giggled and ran towards him. She shared a hug with him. Aurad patted her head.

"Bhai i missed you! Aj apki taraf se treat" she said waving Juman and Alizey towards them. Juman threw the hardest glare at him. "Haan bilkul" he happily accepted the offer.

After greetings being exchanged, girls ordered their ice creams. Shafaq eyed Juman and smiled melting her heart. She was stealing gazes at her. "Ap muje aese kyu dekh rahi ho?" Juman questioned her in a whisper. As Aurad was busy talking to Rumana and Alizey.

"Pta nhi, Lekin apko dekhar acha lagta hain" Shafaq shrugged smiling. Juman smiled and wiped her mouth. Meanwhile Rumana brought up the topic of her friend's marriage. Which made Aurad's eyes snap to her. Who was busy her phone.

"Rumi here, mere card se pe kar please" he asked to which Rumi nodded going. He winked at Shafaq who winked back. "Mamu susuuuuu!" Shafaq whined making his eyes widened. Dramatically. Alizey stood up quickly, "me le chalti hu" she says while shafaq whispered to herself. "Lekar toh me apko ja rahi hu heheh"

As they too went away. He turned to Juman  who was least interested in him. "Juman ek baar dekhogi bhi nhi meri taraf?" He asked with soo much pain in her eyes.

Her heart fluttered at his voice. "I am busy" she said without looking at him. Or else he could read her emotions through her eyes. She knew this.

"Free kab ho?" He asked raising his eyebrows. "Tumse matlab?" She spatted back. He sighed at her hatred. He softly held her hand, kneeling down. Making her go stiff. "Meri zindagi me na sahi apne office toh wapas aa jao, woh cabin, woh kursi, woh table, or woh zimedariya sirf tumari hi muntazir h" he says softly.

Their eyes met and her heart beat widely.

"Woh toh apne kamaya h Aurad Sahab, muj jesi daagdar daman wali aurat ko kyu shamil kar rahi apni haseen duniya me" she asked with no expression, no feelings.

"Tume kese smjhaou me!!" He says defeatedly.

She rolled her eyes and looked away. While he sighed.

And here, Rumana was standing in line to pay the bill. When a boy tapped on her shoulder. She turned around and smiled at her classmate, "oh god! Rumana muje laga tumne toh kasam kha li wapas na aane ki" he says dramatically. The boy was yound as her, and had a great personality like anyother biker boy.

"Busy hu family wagera me, i will join soon  " she replied genuinely.

"Alright, kahi toh notes wagera bheju tume? Asani hogi" he asked trying his chance to get her no. Rumana nodded in no saying, "Dil hena usse le rahi hu me notes" "no problem if u have any doubt let me know, bye" he says and she mumbled bye. As she turned around her nose collided with something hard. She whined and looked up to see Jibran standing there with all his attention on her. His jaw was clenched. She gulped nervously. She drops her head down. Knowing very well what he understood. He held her wrist and dragged her out.

While here, Shafaq turned to Alizey, who was standing in a corner waiting for her. "Done" she says making nod. Meanwhile a man in a hurry on a call passed by them. His shoulder collided with Alizey's making her little stumble. Shafaq gasped and quickly asked, "ap thik ho?" To which Alizey nodded. Shafaq turned to the man who was still walking to his path without saying a sorry.

"Oyeee Lambe gian! Dikhta nhi h!? Ladies jaa rahi h? Arrogant jerk" Shafaq yelled at his back while Alizey was chewing her nails at the 6 years old girl's confidence. "Chup ho jao, woh bura maan jayenge, koi baat nhi shafaq hota h" she tried to calm her down

"Inke yaha hota hoga humare yaha nhi. Say sorry mr.!" She said keeping her hands on her hips. She looked cute. Small Zumi.

The man turned around, that brought a smile on Shafaq face. Alizey covered her face woth her dupatta. Chanting something and everything.
