6. Together

They celebrated his birthday with their family and his friends and that's how the night went with them indulged in conversations, food and laughters. Not to forget the kunafa Jihan cooked for Haya ( he told her someone else cooked and he paid. As if she did not know him ) was being eaten by his friends. Haya was sulking and Jihan was seen biting back his laughter at her expressions as if she would burst with anger anytime soon.

' My friends... be safe! '
She looked at Jihan who raised his hands in surrender, ' Not my fault '.
She nodded her head, 'You will make another one for me, Jihan Sikandar ' she thought. And she knew his reply,
' Mera sar nahi khao, Haya. '

Hamad looked at Haya and Jihan and prayed for them in his heart. Being a true friend, he was genuinely happy for them and for his friend. Jihan had been living his life just for his purpose of serving his country, his family, but now that Hamad looked at him, he felt happy that finally Jihan had started to live for himself. He bad started to steal his chance of being happy and live his life to the fullest.

Jihan felt Hamad's gaze on himself and excused him from everyone. He walked towards his friend and kept a hand on Hamad's shoulder who had his focus on his food and had unnoticeably moved his plate to the other side. ' What? ' he gestured wiggling his thick eyebrows.

" How did she threaten you into hiding things from me and doing all that you three did? " he asked in a stern voice. As if he never expected his friends to hide things from him.

" Why would she threaten me? And why would I be threatened? Huh! I am not scared of her ", he said lifting up his chin. He looked sideways to Jihan who gave him a look to lie further.

He slumped his shoulders in surrender, " Pinky ka raaz meri biwi ke samney faash... yeh dhamki mili mujhe kiya karta? " he huffed and stuffed a spoonful of kunafa in his mouth and Jihan chuckled lowly.

Haya looked at them and her gaze met Hamad's. He saluted her raising his hand in air and touching his forehead which caused Jihan to laugh even more.

"You are not at all scared, Pinky! I see..." Jihan mocked him.

" Your wife doesn't how to manipulate people and guess what? She doesn't need to when she has such brilliant threatening skills. Be safe ... my friend! " He patted Jihan's shoulder.

His friends and colleagues wished him and everyone a good night and headed back to their homes.
When only family members were left, Suleman addressed everyone,
" Laghari's have ended their partnership with us. "

Everyone looked in his direction.
" Which, anyhow, is a thing I wanted for long. They've been proving to be parasites for our company. There had been deals that got cancelled because of them and their son had tried to harass women in the office resulting into them leaving the company. " He shook his head as shame surged through him as he wasn't able to do anything for them. Those women didn't want any problems for themselves by reporting it to police which only encouraged that stain on the name of society.

Little did he know, Haya had sorted the matter.

" And the good part is, we have found a new partner " He looked at Jihan with a raised brow, who was busy with his food. For a moment, he raised his head to look at him and shrugged his shoulders like he was least interested. Suleman chuckled.
Natasha who was sipping on her drink muttered, ' interesting ' as she looked at them.

" So everyone, meet our new partner in Asghar and Son's... Haya Suleman "
Haya Suleman almost chocked on his words.

All the eyes widened ... They were stunned, too stunned to speak. Her head turned to Jihan. She gave him a ' care to explain? ' look and he again shrugged his shoulders. But she noticed that familiar slight smirk that appeared and disappeared on his lips. Since, they were sitting among their family, he avoided winking and just mouthed, ' I like surprises! '
