In the khan Haveli.
The kids were all ready for college/school.
"Suno bacho! Aj driver leave par hai toh Adnan drop the kids!" Ali said.
"Ji baba!" Adnan said while sipping his black coffee.
"Tum teeno ready ho kar car meh ao! Iam waiting" Adnan announced and left.
"Ahad beta milk finish karo!" Nazia chided when she saw ahad ignoring the milk.
"Mumma nahi pasand hai na mujhe!" Ahad said in a annoyed tone.
"Ahad tumse kisine nahi pucha ki tumhe pasand hai ya nahi, Drink it!" Fawad said while getting up after finishing his food.
"Bhaii please!" Ahad begged with his eyes, which was enough to melt Fawad.
"Accha! Matt peeyo par dinner ke baad peena padega!" Fawad said and Ahad smiled sheepishly.
"Allah hafiz!" Alizeh said loudly and the kids left with Adnan.

It was night in London right now, Aiza put all kids to bed.
Omer was sitting on the bed when his phone rang.
"Kiska call hai Omer?" Aiza asked entering the room.
"Phuphu ka!" Omer replied making Aiza.
"Kab tak avoid karenge ap unko? Apni family ko?" Aiza asked sitting beside him.
"Pata nahi Aiza, Darr lagta hai ki shayad woh log apni life meh khush hai or mere aane se unki acchi khasi life meh problems na ajaye" Omer said.
"Phuphu kyu call kar rahi thi?" Aiza asked.
"Thode din meh eid hai! Ghar wapas anne ko keh rahi thi , woh log bhi Pakistan Jaa rahe hai!" Omer said while looking at the floor.
"Omer, apko pata hai na Dua ki kitni kwahish hai ki woh apni family se mile! Woh Roz mujhse sawal karti hai ki mumma mere saare friends ke pass unki Dadi , dadu or aunts hai! Mere pas kyu nhi hai" Aiza said.
"Jab tak woh bohut choti thi , meh uski baat ko taal deti thi usko kahaniya banake bol deti thi! Par ab woh bari ho rahi hai, kab Tak jhuth bolu apni bachi se meh!" Aiza continued.
"Kya karu Aiza meh? Thakk Chuka hoon 9-10 saal hogye hai ab.." omer said.
Aiza was going to reply , when her phone rang , it was Aliya's call.
She picked it up with a sigh and started talking.
"Assalamualaikum phuphu!"
"Ji phuphu.. par apko pata hai na omer ke baare meh-"
"Thike phuphu meh baat karke apko batati hoon!"
"Ji allja Hafiz!" Aiza cut the call.
"Kya bola phuphu ne?" Omer asked.
"Pakistan anne ko keh rahi hai!" Aiza said.
"Woh 10 saal se keh rahi hai woh.." Omer chuckled sadly and Aiza looked at him her heart broke.
"Omer.. Dadi ke pass zyada saame nhi baja hai , ek baar chalte hai pakistan" Aiza requested for the first time..
Omer looked towards her , his heart was aching he really wanted to meet his siblings.
He wanted to meet his step mother she treated him like his own mother. She loved him more than anyone ever did.
He wanted his kids to meet their aunts and uncles..but he couldn't bring himself to do this..
He felt he was useless, his Father's words haunting him every night. At the point that his anxiety tablets couldn't even help, anymore.
His therapist suggested him to meet his family once. But he fell weak everytime.
"Omer..kaha kho gaye ap?" Aiza asked while nudging his shoulder..
"Thike Aiza!"
"hum jarahe hai pakistan" omer said and left to the balcony.
Tears left Aiza's eyes , this were the words she was waiting to hear since the day she met omer. He used to always talk about his family to her. She never met his father but she hated him to core, he was the reason behind her husband's health issues.
She immediately called Aliya and informed her about it.

Aiman entered her college with Sahara..
Today they had to go to the lab to practice making design structure of the interior of houses.
The lecturers assigned all of them their partners , they both went to look at the list hung in their lecture hall.
Aiman was shocked to see that she was paired up with "Adil"
She was ready to change her partner but the lecturer refused her request and Aiman had no choice left.
"Hey dear lab partner!" Adil greeted her with a smirk on his face..
Aiman rolled her eyes at him.
The lecturer started explaining the design and Adil was not paying any attention to the explanation.
Aiman was cursing him inside her mind as he was making her lose her concentration as he was mumbling some song.
"Can you please shut up!" Aiman whispered loudly.
"Anything you say lab partner!" He replied cheekily making Aiman more furious.
After the explanation was over they started doing their projects, Aiman was having great difficulty as she lost her concentration in between.
"Let me help you!" Adil offered but Aiman denied.
"No thank you I can do it!" Aiman replied while erasing some of the part.
"I can see that!" Adil murmured and Aiman glared at him.
After 15 minutes Aiman gave up.
"I know you can do it! But let me try it, please?" Adil asked and Aiman nodded.
She was sure that he couldn't do it as he payed absolutely zero attention to the lecture, but she was wrong.
He completed the design in less than 15 minutes making her shocked.
"And that's how you do it, miss lab partner" Adil said making Aiman grit her teeth.
