Mere rashq e qamar tune pehli nazar

Jab nazar se milayi maza aa gaya.

Aik mulaaqaat mein baat hi baat mein

Unka yun muskurana gazab ho gaya.

The next morning was a chaos. Everyone ran from here to there in search of something or the other. The weather was peaceful. The sun showing its shades of orange, the breeze slow and cold. The Lahori's on the streets shopping on a bright Sunday morning. I missed Pakistan so much. I pack Aleena's last suitcase while listening to Punjabi songs.

"Minu, can you please add this as well" Aleena hands me a pair of night suits. I put it in the bag and zip it close. Aleena sits on the bed and reads her book. I change into a comfortable outfit and head downstairs to get done with some decorations.

"Assalamualaikum!" I greet everyone as I enter the living room. I strain myself some chai and join everyone. Tea cups steaming hot, beautiful conversations and lively chit chats. Life is so peaceful and lively at Aleena's place.

"Toh Minahil beta, what's your plan next?" One of Aleena's maami asks me as I sip on my tea. By this time Aleena also joins us in the living room.

"Abhi toh koi plan nahi hai aunty but jobs ke liye apply toh karna chahti hoon."

"Hmmm, that's nice. Settle Riyadh mai hi hona hai phir?" Aaqib uncle asks this time.

"Insha Allah uncle, jahan par bhi acchi job miljaaye."

"Aur shaadi?" Aleena's phuphu asks. Aliyan chokes on his chai slightly turning all the attention to him. I quickly cover up answering her question.

"Aunty abhi toh nahi pata. Jab bhi Allah ki marzi hui tab."

"Arey Sameena abhi karni hoti toh mai mere Aliyan ki shaadi hi na karadeti isse?" Nameera aunty leaves us all stunned. I feel my cheeks heating up. Aleena nudges aunty's shoulder a bit and mouths a sorry to me. I look at Aliyan and this guy is blushing like an idiot. Goshhhh!!!! We are so cooked.

"Kya hua? Did I say something wrong? Look at both of them blushing like teenagers. Maine toh jo dekha hai wohi bola hai."

Someone please save me!! I can't help the blush spreading on my cheeks. This is so embarrassing.

Aliyan's POV:

I go outside for some fresh air after the conversation inside. I don't know why but I was blushing throughout the conversation. I never thought it would get this obvious to anyone. But I decided one thing, before I tell anyone else I need to let Minahil know and Allah knows when I will have the guts to do that so let's leave that aside.

I got onto the veranda and saw Minahil standing there. Her hands on her hips she is staring at the "Mayon" written sign board on the wall of the veranda. She looks enchanting. I clear my throat and walk towards her and stand at a distance.
