Sang e Marmar

20. imtehaan (2)- Ishq ka

Chal aa, ek aisi nazm kahun
Jo lafz kahun woh ho jaaye
Main dil likhun, tu dil thaame
Main gum likhun, woh kho jaaye

The morning sun's warmth lingers, casting a gentle glow over Khan Haveli. The clock strike 7 as the members of the Khan Haveli gathered, the yesterday consent from Zohra bring another wave of happiness in haveli...making not only Farzand and Mehrmah happy but also bilal and Shehnaaz, The aroma of paratha spread across the dinning hall as girl busily prep for the breakfast, The women of the haveli was busy overlooking the prep. The air is alive with anticipation as the servants busily prepare for the afternoon's rasam. The sound of soft chatter and clinking utensils fills the courtyard, where the traditional sweets are being arranged.

Ajj toh Haveli may Kya Khushboo pheli hui hai dadda jaan... Faiz sitting on dinning table commented at the aroma.

Dadda jaan with a small smile nodded again... Focusing on the newspaper.

Zohra carrying a tray of tea cups emerged from the kitchen placing it on dinning table as she busily set the cups... Aware of the piercing gaze of certain someone.

Zohra.. Baki kaam mulazim daikh laingay app aiya abb hum sb k saath nashta kijiya.. Zar e Noor called her for breakfast as they all began to eat.

Meanwhile Daddi jaan... Voice echoed in silence humay ajj sb 12 bajay say pehlay courtyard may mojood chahiya.. rasam may takheer nhi hogi..

Then she addressed Mehrmah.. Bina ki app k pass call ai the..

Mehrmah nodded a little.. Ji Ammi jaan ai the, parson rasam k liya ana chah rahin hain or tareekh k mamlaat bhe Keh rahi thein k usi din teh krlaingay..hum nay kaha hum app say mashwarah kr k bataingay...

Daddi jaan nodded...in understanding... Han Keh dijiya.

Mehrmah with nod continued her breakfast.

Zohra ate silently aware of the gaze but she ignored it... Consent doesn't mean he is forgiven.. he has to work for it.. thought to herself...

Bashar on the other hand has a completely different feeling like he is seeing her for the first time... His eyes unable to left her sight... As he saw her entering into the room..her white shalwar kameez clad figure look enchanting under the chandeliers..... Her dupatta clad head that slipped every now and then giving way to swaying tendril... Look bewitching.. To his surprise she looked simple like always, but what changed unable to read his own mind her focuses on the breakfast at hand.. but yet again found himself looking at her .

Zar e Noor saw her brother glances, hid her smile as she looked at Mehreen sitting beside Dilawar.. with her eyes she asked Mehreen to look at Bashar..that she did.. Mehreen is unable to hold her smile as well, they both looked at each other and giggled..

As the time flew by as the afternoon hours grew closer.

Zar-e-Noor, resplendent in her light blue Anarkali, adorned with intricate silver embroidery, steps into the courtyard. She pauses, taking in the vibrant setting. The courtyard's transformation is almost complete. Colorful rugs and cushions are arranged in a circular pattern, with a beautifully decorated dais at the center. Delicate flowers and greenery adorn the dais, accompanied by intricately designed lanterns.

Mehreen Bhabhi, dressed in a stunning red Anarkali, joins Zar-e-Noor. Together, they inspect the decorative trays, laden with an assortment of traditional desserts. The sweet aroma of gulab jamun, jalebi, and barfi wafts through the air, teasing their senses.

Zohra, the star of the event, emerges from the hallway, wearing a light pink outfit that accentuates her radiant smile. Her eyes sparkle as she takes in the festive atmosphere. The three women exchange warm smiles.
Zohra app abhi andr he rahain ajj app ka din hai, hum app say koi kaam nhi krwaingay.. Mehreen bhabhi said as she saw Zohra trying to help.
