O soorat oss di pariyaan wargi
Seerat di o marriam lagdi
Hasti hai taan phul jhad'de ne
Turdi hai taan ghazal hai lagdi
Lamm salammi saru de kad di haaye
Umar aje hai marke agg di
Par naina di gal samajh di

“I’m going home,” I blurt the moment I step out of the conference room, my voice barely steady. The pounding in my head is getting worse by the minute, and I’m pretty sure my fever is climbing too.

“This early?” Zeeshan’s eyebrows shoot up. “You okay?”

“Yeah, just a little tired,” I lie, brushing off the concern. “Besides, I am moving back in my apartment today. Most of my work’s done anyway.” I give him my best ‘nothing to see here smile’, praying he buys it.

Normally, I wouldn’t even dream of leaving before six, but today, I’m making an exception. Leaving a measly ninety minutes early isn't a crime... right?

“Okay, text me when you get home,” Zeeshan says, then veers off toward the cafeteria, probably in search of snacks and someone other than me to annoy.
