Zara was standing in front of the mirror trying on her wedding dress.
"Apppiiiiiiii.... Ye kitn pyaara joda hai manna padega aunty ki choice ko" Samaira shouted near Zara's ear
"Allah.... Sam mera kaan" Zara kept her hands on her ears
Zara's phone started ringing, she saw the name and quickly turned her phone upside down, Sam was quick in reading the name, she stood up and started to leave to give her sister some privavy without even expressing for once that she read the name
"Appi mujhe ammi bula rahi thi mai aati hoon!"
Zara nodded and quickly picked up the call as soon as Samaira left
"Hello, Assalamualaikum" she greeted
"Walekumassalam, kaisi ho?" the reply came in a deep husky voice
Zara's heart raced
"Mai theek hoon" she managed to speak
"Bohut time laga diya call uthane mai" he asked
"Haan wo nikah ka joda try kar rahi thi na isliye time lag gaya" she lied
"Arey wah maine sahi time pe call Kiya phir dekhaiye mujhe bhi kaisi lag rahi aap jode mai" he asked
"Hargiz nahi, seedhe nikah wale din hi dekhiyega" she denied his request
"Arey par ye kya baat Hui" he complained
"Accha shehry Iza kaise hai?" She changed the topic, because it would take a lot of courage to deny her handsome husband's request again
"Shehry, iza theek hai allhamdulillah, kal se school shuru hora dono ka, Shehry is okay lekin Ariza bohut nervous, subah se pandrah (15) baar pooch chuki hai Shaheer se ki yaha ke schools kaise hote, homework karna agar bhool gayi to mere pass shikayat aayegi ki nahi" Zaviyaar answered and Zara chuckled
"Iza bilkul Shaheer ki tarah haina? Aur Shehryar aapka chota version hai, bilkul hitler" Zara said
"Mai hitler lagta hoon aapko?" Zaviyaar asked playfully
"Lagte to hai! Bechare Shaheer se puchiye" She said
"Hitler ka to pata nahi lekin aapke liye majnu banne ko tayyar hoon" he flirted
Zara stayed mum for good 5 minutes she did not know what to speak, her husband to be was flirting with her , she has never seen this side of Zaviyaar before.
"Kya hua tum to chup hogayi bilkul?" He asked
"Ku....kuch bhi to nahi, aap bataiye na aunty kaisi hai, sufiya Amma, shaheer sab kaise hai?" She again changed the topic
"Sab theek hai, bas kal khalajaan ghar aa rahi yaar, wo bohut irritating hai" Zaviyaar cringed
"Aapki sagi khala hai?" She asked
"Nahi ammi ki cousin hai" he replied
"Zaraaaa dinner ready hai beta neeche aao" her mother called her
"Acha ab mai rakhti hoon amma bula rahi" she told
"Allah Hafiz, shabba khair" he greeted and Zara greeted him back.

"Shehry yaar so jao, kab tak khidki ke pass baithe rahoge" Shaheer said
"Pata nahi bhaiyu kuch ajeeb sa lag raha" Shehry answered
Few days ago Ariza declared that she'll call Shaheer 'bhaiyu' because any other thing would confuse her
"Ajeeb? Bhai ko bulaun?" Shaheer asked
"Nahi nahi" Shehryar shook his head
"Acha aao mere saath" Shaheer got up from the bed
"Kaha?" Shehry asked
"Chalo to bhai mere" he replied

Shaheer got inside the elevator, and pressed the top floor button, Shehryar had never visited the floor before
"Arey ye hum kaha ja rahe? Bhai ne agar daata to?" He questioned
"Arey mere good boy kabhi kabhi rules todna is okay, bhai ko agar hum daatne ka mauka nahi denge to pata hai unki zindagi kitni boring ho jayegi" Shaheer said and exited the elevator holding Shehryar's hand
Shehryar was about to say something when Shaheer held his chin and made him look up forcibly.
Shehry was awestruck, it was a glass dome above them and he could see the lovely night sky, just above his head, the stars twinkled and his eyes shined. His eyes had the innocence of a child.
"Bachpan mai jab bhi pareshan hota tha ye uljhan hoti thi, to bhai mujhe khule aasman ke neeche le jate the, sukoon milta hai aasman ko dekh kar ki ek sabse Azeem taqat hai jo hume har waqt dekh rahe, jo humare saath kabhi kuch galat nahi hone denge, phir jab hum is ghar mai shift hue to bhai ne ye banwa diya, both of us love being under the sky" Shaheer said
Shehryar was listening to Shaheer while his eyes stuck on the glass ceiling above him, the sky held so much power.
"Bhaiyu, Mujhe aaplogo ko chodh ke kahi nahi jaana, I can't live without anyone of you, mujhe ta umar yahi rehna hai, I feel safe here, I feel protected" Shehry sobbed

"Zavi baba, Shehryar aur Shaheer baba dono kamre mai nahi hai, mai Shehry baba ke liye doodh leke gayi thi lekin wo hai hi nahi" Sufiya Amma told Zaviyaar
"Kamre mai nahi hai?.... Accha aap laiye glass mujhe dijiye mai dekhta hoon" Zaviyaar said and left his room, he knew where both of them were
.

"Bhaiyu mujhe dar lagta hai ki agar bhai mere kisi baat se naraaz hogaye aur hume yaha se jaane ko keh diya to mai kya karunga, mujhe wapas se us zindagi mai nahi jaana" Shehryar said
Before Shaheer could whack some sense into the boy a heavy, husky voice came
"Kya ho raha hai yahape?"
They turned to see Zaviyaar standing with a glass of milk.
"Wo bhai hum.... Shehry ki tabiyat thodi kharab lag rahi thi to hum yaha aagaye" Shaheer said
Zaviyaar looked at Shehryar, he immediately looked down
"Upar dekho" Zaviyaar ordered
Shehryar obeyed
"Kya bakwaas kar rahe the abhi aap? Us din kya kaha tha maine, you are stuck with us, chaho bhi to kahi nahi jaane dunga, and what part of this you didn't understand the other day?" Zavi growled
"Bh...Bhai" Shehryar stammered
"Bhai...jaane dijiye na aap samjha bhi aise rahe hai jaise daant rahe ho" Shaheer intervened
"Leave" Zaviyaar said bluntly
"Bhai..." Shaheer resisted but Zaviyaar's glare made him leave
Shehry was about to follow him
"SHEHRYAR, i didn't ask you to leave, ruko" Zaviyaar said firmly.
Shehryar stood with his head casted down
As soon as Shaheer left, Zaviyaar got hold of Shehryar's ear
"Ouchhh bhai...Dard ho raha, Sorry please" he whimpered in Zaviyaar's firm grip
"Dubara aisi baat Kari to Mera bohut bura roop dekho Shehry I promise" Zaviyaar warned
"Nahi karunga pakka" he answered
"Baitho" Zavi said while sitting
"Kya chupa rahe ho Shehry, I know there's a lot about your life jo tum hum sabse chupa rahe ho, I gave you enough time mujhe laga tha comfortable hojaoge to khud aake bataoge par tum to yaha abhi bhi outsider ban ke reh rahe ho" Zaviyaar taunted
"Aisa nahi hai bhai, mai ku..kuch ch...chupa nahi raha" he answered
"Start speaking Shehryar" Zaviyaar glared
