Author's pov
Faiza kept her dairy on the table sighing and looked out of the window. She has been in her room ever since her mother dropped that bomb on her head. She felt uneasy buliding in herself after what her parents said. Her father mujahid Qureshi and his best friend taheer khan have been planning to become in-laws by marrying their children off to eachothers child. She knew his son as they are best friends so he often brought him and they would actually play with other.
She liked his company too from childhood but the problem was that she always looked at him as her brother and maybe he did too, she was just not sure about it. The first person that came into her mind after what her parents said was, him. She hated that feeling but it was not strong, just a memory and that's all. She have left that thing years ago and would like to keep it in the past only.
Her phone rang Bringing her back from her thoughts. She looked at the caller id and saw two names together. She took deep breath and putted her fake smile. She picks up the call bringing it in front of her face as it was a video call. As soon as she picks up both of them said together.
??- assalamualaikum. They said cheerfully.
Faiza- Walaikumussalam. Kaise ho tum dono? ( How are you both)
?- hum toh theek hai par tu mujhe kuch theek nahi dhik rahi hai. ( We are fine but you don't look fine to us)
Faiza- kya matlab? ( What do you mean?) Who is she kidding to, obviously they would know when she is happy or when she is sad. They are her best friends from childhood and now they are more like siblings.
?- don't tell us you are sad because of that idiot friend of yours.
Faiza- Aisa kuch nahi hai, aur uski koi galti nahi hai isme. And why do you hate him so much anyways? ( Nothing is like that, and he is not at fault in this thing)
?- wo pagal se duri banaye rakhna hi accha hai. ( It's better to stay away from that mental)
?- bilkul sahin kahan tune, aur hamari kismat bhi itni kharab hai ki apni ye dost wo pagal se hi shadi kar Rahi hai. ( You are absolutely right, and because of our bad faith,our friend is going to marry that mental only) He said being annoyed like anything.
Faiza- hogaya tum dono ka? ( Are you guys done?) Just then her mother barged in her room.
Her mother- Faiza they are here.
?- koun, wo pagal aur uski family? ( Who , that mental and his family?)
?- pagal ka naam liya aur pagal hazir. ( Took mentals name and he is here)
Her mother- tum Hamza aur Saif se baat kar Rahi ho!? Mujhe phele bataya kyu nahi. ( You are talking to Hamza and Saif!? Why didn't you tell me before) Saying that her mother snatched her phone from her hands.
Hamza and Saif greeted her and she happily greeted them back making Faiza annoyed but happy too.
Faiza- sometimes it feels like they are your friends not mine.
Her mother- zyada mat bolo aur jao , jakar ready ho thoda. ( Don't talk much and go and get ready a little bit)
Hamza- koi zarurat nahi hai uski faizu. ( No need of that faizu)
Saif- haan, wo kounsa koi Raja hai. ( Yeah, not like he is a king or something)
Her mother- tum dono sudhroge nahi haina. ( You both will never learn right)
Faiza- it's fine. Saying that she went in her walk-in closet to get ready a little bit. As she left, saif said.
Saif- you know she is not happy with this, right aunty.
