Memories We Hold Together

"Becoming Friends?"

Function was over and he was now in his home.
In place of the light of the day, the historical night had spread,
The cold breeze coming from the open window would touch his cheeks and pass.
Rehan was lying on the bed, typing something on the laptop open in front of him, when Gul entered the room.
Rehan turned his head and saw Gul who was coming towards him with a mug of coffee in her hands.

"For me...?!"
Gul moved the coffee mug towards him.

"Yes.....!"
Sipping coffee, she said,

"But I didn't asked you to...
Holding the hot mug of coffee in his hands, he said,

"I know! But I thought it wouldn't be so much fun to drink alone..."

"Thank you.....!"
Rehan took a sip of coffee.

"No need...!"
Saying that, Gul sat on the bed in front of him,

"So...? How's the first coffee made by your wife...?!"
Seeing him sipping coffee, she said,

Rehan became silent for a few moments when Gul called herself his wife.

"Ah.. Yes, it's good...!"
Coming out of his thoughts he said,

"Well, I make everything good from the beginning.
(Like I am a master-chef and)

"A self-obsessed person..."
Rehan completed her sentence.

"Praising yourself is not self-obsession.....!"
Her mood had deteriorated.

Rehan nodded smiling at her, and turned back to the laptop.

"I made a mistake by bringing coffee...!"
She muttered under her breath,

**********

The sun of the new day had risen and both of them were returning to their normal lives.

"So your coming today...?!"

"Yes! Just getting ready, I'll be there in a bit."
With the phone to one ear, he was sitting on a chair putting on his shoes.

"see you later.
Hisham said and hung up the phone.

"Rehan.... Rehan....!"
Calling him, Gul entered the room,

Rehan looked at him while wearing shoes, eyes met, then both looked away

"Ah... you are going to office, aren't you! So drop me to Baba's house , I have to bring some things from home..."

"Yeah Okay."

"Breakfast is ready. Get ready and come out. I'm waiting."
She said and went out of the room
While Rehan was left with a deep sigh.

***********
The silence in the house was broken by the knock on the door.
Umar walked towards the door with tired feet, the door opened and she was standing in front of him.

"How are you Baba?"
Gul spoke, clinging to him

"I'm fine... Alhamdulillah..."
He patted his head and said,

She had entered the house.

"Where's rehan?"
Closing the door, he said,

"No! you leave all that, tell me what you were doing and didn't you missed me?

Both were sitting on the couch.

"Well, tell me, will you drink something?!"
Ignoring her question, he headed towards the kitchen.
