Dear Kasim,

Kafi busy thi pichle dino aur phir Do din se barish ho rahi thi isiliye nahi aa payi. Missed me? I know you didn't. Mujhe miss karne ke ilawa bhi bohot kaam hein aapke paas.

Inn kuch dino main bohot kuch Hua hai. Don't worry, kuch bura nahi Hua. Yeah, surprisingly it's been a smooth week. Abba ne naya paying guest rakha hai. Uske aaye hue paiso se ek loan toh sir se utra. Amma kehti hein ki woh farishta hai, mujhe toh nahi lagta. Har waqt mere kaam main tang ardata rehta hai. Par phir sochti hoon toh--

"Toh dil ka acha lagta hai, yeh hi na?" I finally heard his voice and looked to my left, "larka acha hai. Mujhe toh pasand aaya hai."

"Par usne mere students bhaga diye," I complained, "aur jab ghar pe hota hai, pareshaan karta hai."

He chuckled, rolling up his sleeves, "you needed a break anyway Madiha. EK class se kya farak parta hai?"

"Kyun nahi parta? Of course parta!" I retorted. Why is he taking Hussain's side?

"Arey yaar woh acha hai toh side loonga hi na!" He smiled. I blinked at him in utter disbelief.

"What? Now you are going to read my mind?" I asked him. Throwing the pen in my diary, I closed it.

"So? I live there, obviously I am able to read it," he rolled his eyes at me.

"Whatever," I huffed, "bewajah gussa dila rahe hein aap mujhe."

He frowned at me and instantly stood up, "what did I do?"

I blinked at him a few times and allowed my blurred vision to focus on his face again.

Hussain?!

"Aap?!" I chocked out and he dropped his shoulders. "Ab banda kisi ki fikar bhi na kare. Is main bhi aap ko gussa aa gaya teacher Ji."

"I told you already to not call me that and what fikar?" I asked.

"I asked you why were you up so late," he shrugged and sat down beside me.

Seeing that, I stood up immediately, "get up!"

"What?"

"I said get up, Hussain!" I repeated. I didn't like how my tone got too harsh but, he has no right to sit there.

He stood up, looking confused. "Nobody sits on this bench except for me!"

"Wow! Ok teacher Ji! Relax!" He chuckled but, I didn't find anything funny.

"Aap yahaan nahi beth sakte!"

"Ok, fine... I am sorry," he sighed. I felt guilty all of a sudden. I shouldn't have been so rude to him.

"Oh! Uncle Ji!" Hussain suddenly smiled and walked behind me, "soye nahi?"

I turned around and saw abba standing near the main door, "yeh toh mujhe tum dono se poochna chahiye. Time toh dekho zara."

"Yeah! We were just coming inside uncle," Hussain said to him and briefly glanced in my direction. I simply nodded and so did Abba.

"Chalo jaldi karo," he yawned and walked back inside. Hussain turned to me but, walked away without saying anything.

"Yun hi chilla pari uss par," I heard a whisper near my shoulder and I instantly turned around.
