" Let's go out. Mera man nahi hai ghar jaane ka. "
Mahnoor rolled her eyes when she heard him give the same excuse for the tenth time.
" Fine ! But at least ye toh kaho ki ham ja kaha rahe hai ? "
The twins in the back were too engrossed in watching YouTube videos to notice the two bickering.
" Let's go for shopping. Waise bhi I wanted to buy something for bhai and bhabhi. "
It was then that she widen her eyes as realisation set in.
" Shit ! Mai bhool gayi thi ki, unki anniversary aane wali hai. "
He smirked and said,
" Tsk tsk, waise toh bhabhi ke peeche peeche ghoomti ho ! Ab kya hua. "
He remained unbothered by her glare. Taking a left turn, Shahzain told her,
" Your phone is blowing up with messages. Will you pick up ? "
She shook her head and then replied,
" No ! Mere friends are just fighting in the group chat. "
It made him laugh, she always had wild stories to tell about her friends.
" They'll be coming for Rasha's ceremony ? "
She hummed in reply and then told him about the twins dance that they've been preparing in the past few days.
" You should also dance, tumhari ek lauti behen ki shaadi hai ! "
He snickered when she continued teasing him and with a roll of his eyes said,
" No thank you, if you want to dance, you can. Mujhe mat involve karo. "
She shook her head and let out a small " men ! "
" Mahi ! Let's get waffles. "
Aayat suggested when they were in a mall parking lot.
" Pehle tumhare mom dad ke liye gifts le lein ! And I also want to get some heels. I promise we'll get some in the end. "
The two kids nodded happily and Shahzain held Dania's hand while Mahnoor clutched Aayat's.
Mahnoor looked at Shahzain and thought to herself what could possibly have happened that he came to a mall, because as sweet as he might be to her and his family members, Shahzain could be a bit of a snob.
" Let's go to the jewellery showroom. "
He told them and they followed him. Since it was their 10th anniversary, he wanted to gift them something meaningful.

" Let's go get waffles ! "
They were finally done with all the shopping and the kids were now extremely impatient. Shahzain picked Aayat up and told them to run to the elevator and they'll be back in a few minutes.
" I have to take a call, tum jao mai aata hun. "
Mahnoor nodded and rushed towards the elevator. It was kind of late and the kids were also exhausted, she was still a little curious as to what happened back at home but she was too tired to dwell at it.
" Mujhe Nutella chahiye ! "
Aayat requested, displaying her shiny teeth to Mahnoor and she couldn't possibly say no to her.
