Author's pov

Aafiya came back to her room after talking with aaban. He just praised her and said that she is a great sister for what she did in the mall. As time passes it was dinner time so she went down to have it. But to her surprise no one was present there , not even her mother. She got confused and went inside the kitchen. She saw the maid and maid smiled at her.

Aafiya- safiya bi where is mumma? Why is no one here for dinner?

Safiya- your parents went to attend a wedding and your brothers are outside for some work except for zayan and Hamza baba.

Aafiya- ohh. Then what about the dinner now? Is Hamza sir and zayan sir are not having it?

Safiya- they are not here yet so I assume they are not having it. I'll just cook something for you , tell me what do you want to eat.

Aafiya- can I cook?

Safiya- you know how to cook?

Aafiya- yeah, so can I?

Safiya- this is your house beta, you can do whatever you want, I am just a maid here.

Aafiya- aap bilkul nahi badli safiya bi. (You have not changed safiya)She said smiling as she has been seeing aafiya from her childhood. Safiya also smiled at her then aafiya started cooking and safiya helped her only for cutting the vegetables. Safiya had other work so she went away after sometime. As aafiya was cooking zayan came their.

Zayan- aafiya you are cooking? He asked surprised a little. And why does it smell so good. He said peeking in the pan where she was frying some chicken. She is not good at frying though and zayan already noticed that. You need help? She shook her head but zayan just took the spoon from her hand.

Aafiya- you know how to do it?

Zayan- offcourse I do. Mumma and all the brothers appreciate my cooking alot. Except for abbu though, he just likes mumma's cooking more. But I am expert and everyone knows that.

Aafiya- lying is wrong, you know that right. She said but then regretted seeing zayan frowning. I am sorry I didn't me-

Zayan- you just wait and watch. He said challenging her and unknowingly she smiled a little which zayan didn't notice. After sometime when they were done cooking aafiya took the pan of hot Oli in which zayan fried the chicken,and just then Hamza entered.

Hamza- what are you both doing? He asked a little loudly making aafiya flinch and some hot Oli got on her hand. She hissed in pain and kept the pan on the counter while zayan came running to her.

Zayan- aafiya tu theek toh hai! Show me. (Aafiya are you ok) He looked at her hand which was now slightly burned a little. He made her sit on the chair then glared at Hamza who was just staring at them blankly. Tu pagal hai kya? Itni zor se kyu bol Raha hai. (Are you mental? Why are you speaking so loudly)

Hamza- I didn't, it's just that she is weak. No one gets scared with just a little loud voice.

Zayan- you- ( he was saying but then heard aafiya's painfull voice. He went near the cupboard and took the first aid box while Hamza just left. He treated her hand and looked at her. One tear drop fell from her eye making him worried. Aafiya it's ok, dard Kam hojayega thode dino mey. I know it'll pain alot for sometime but don't worry. ( Aafiya it'll get better in some days) He said but her tears came out like a waterfall.

Aafiya- khala said that when I was little,mumma said to her that my heart is a little weak so I get scared very quickly. She said between her sobs. Zayan's heart clenched seeing her sister cry so he gently hugged her.
