"Shahzaib"
Urwa called out, going through the drawers in their shelf.

"Jii begum"
Shahzaib answered, styling his hairs in front of the mirror

"Meri chudiyan dekhi hai tumne? Main kabse dhund rahi hu"
Urwa questioned, looking at him expectantly.

Shahzaib narrowed his eyes
"Nahi toh, yahi kahi rakhi hogi mil jayegi"

Urwa shook her head disappointedly
"Nahi mil rahi"

"Koi nahi, mujhe neeche ke kaam bhi dekhne hai. Tayar ho jao aur jaldi neeche aa jao hmm?"
Urwa spoke, looking at him.

Shahzaib nodded his head absentmindedly and Urwa went. Shahzaib had a lot of work for today. First the meeting with the business partner, then the panchayat, then there is a wedding in the village to which he is invited to and then his mother had strictly told him to come home early. How the hell is he supposed to come home early while doing all these things? While the paperwork seems to pile up day by day.

Maybe he should add his workload to Asad and Azlan's to equate it right? Right. Nodding his head he looked at his reflection in the mirror for the last time and left the room. Climbing down the stairs his eyes fell on Urwa who was instructing something to the workers. For a moment he forgot everything, even breathing. She looked so beautiful, so his.

What kind of good deeds did he do to get a wife like her? He is honoured.
Ziddi hai, par meri hai,
Ladti hai par haq se,
Fikr hoti hai par dikhati nahi hai,
Dikhti maghroor hai par mehrbaan hai.

Urwa filled his life with colours, his dull and boring life. He has not faced any difficult situation as hers. The only thing weighing upon him was responsibilities. Since he was a child, he was not allowed to make mistakes. Mistakes are lethal. Though he was quite rebellious in his teenage years, soon he was meant to get back on the track.

Power comes with responsibility.

Urwa was his safe place where he could confine anytime and fear not to be judged. She made his life beautiful, she gave him reason to come home early, to be a better person for her, for them. She is just so ethereal, so lovely. He was snapped out of his daze after colliding with Azlan?

"Bhai pata hai bhabhi khubsurat hai. Par iska matlab yeh nahi hai ki aap aate jaate logo se takrate raho. Insaan hu main koi machine nahi aap jaise. Mujhe dard hota hai"
Azlan sneered, rubbing his forehead.

Lohe ke bane hai kya bhai?

Shahzaib glared at him. It's been so long since he has disciplined this guy over here. He needs to give some good beating.

"Kya kaha tumne wapis doharoge?"
Shahzaib raised his eyebrows.

"Main yeh keh raha tha ki-"
Azlan stopped in the middle, noticing the hard gaze on him. Did he just dig his grave himself? Kudos to him.

"Ainda aisi baat ki toh mujhse bura koi nahi hoga"
Shahzaib rebucked.

Azlan narrowed his eyes at him and yelled
"BHABHI"

Shahzaib eyebrows lifted in surprise, he understood what Azlan wanted to do

"Chup baitho nalayak"
Shahzaib demanded.

"BHABHI"
Azlan yelled again, seeing Shahzaib's intensifying glare.

"Chup baitho pagal"
Shahzaib smacked the back of Azlan's head.

"Kya ho raha hai yaha?"
A voice boomed, a voice which Shahzaib knew really well.

"Bhabhi aapne shohar se kahe mujhe dhamki de rahe hai aur aabhi hi mujhe thappad maara"
Azlan complained, looking at Urwa.
