ch-52 Hurting him?

Author's pov

Aafiya untied the cloth from her eyes and quickly turned around excited to see who she caught. But she froze when she stared at hannan who was having a small smile on his face as he looked at her. They didn't even realise from how long they kept staring at eachother.

The brothers looked at the scene keenly. Why was THEIR sister and hannan were staring at eachother from whole 5 MINUTES? Hamza looked at his brothers and then at the duo infront of them. And then he mentally slapped his bestfriend for his amazing timing. He suddenly let out a loud cough bringing hannan and aafiya back to reality.

Hannan- Assalamualaikum. He greeted and they replied him back not paying much attention to what happened for now including aafiya who was kinda embarrassed right now. She quickly moved away from hannan and stood beside hamza giving him a glare making hamza gulp.

Hamza- what? I didn't call him early. He defended himself before she could even ask anything. Aafiya just sighed and looked at hannan who was talking to her brothers.

Aadil- you came early? He asked as they all sat down on the sofa's.

Hannan- yeah I was free this evening, so decided to come early. He said politely. That's how he is whenever he meets the khan brothers, always respectful and calm. He admired them alot too, just like he admired his own bhaiyya. To him, the khan brothers were nothing more than his own brothers.

Aaban- accha kiya. Where's haroon, uncle and aunty? He asked.

Hannan- they are already on their way, would probably reach in 10 minutes. He said with a small smile while they simply nodded. The conversations started as the brothers talked to hannan about random things.

Aafiya excused herself and went to the kitchen to inform her mother about hannan's arrival. Just as she did, Asra happily went out of the kitchen to meet him leaving aafiya alone.

She stepped near the kitchen door from where the main hall was visible. She could see how happily her family interacted with hannan. Why was her mother and brothers so happy seeing him? Is he not a human being or what?

Just then ayesha and Shoaib walked through the main door with shoaib having an unreadable expression on his face while ayesha looked somewhat annoyed. Both of them exchanged greetings with everyone while aafiya came towards them.

Aafiya- Assalamualaikum. She greeted and they greeted her back. Aafiya noticed Ayesha's expression and frowned. What happened? She whispered to her while the others were busy in their talks.

Ayesha- i didn't want to come with him, but since our parents were not coming and we'll be returning back late, mumma and abbu insisted him to take me. Even though I denied! Anyway I would've come on my scooty. She said annoyingly making aafiya sigh.

Aafiya- and what about him? Didn't he deny? She asked as both of them looked at shoaib who was talking to aaban.

Ayesha- well, he doesn't deny anything to what the elders says. She said with a sigh.

Aafiya- did he scold you or something? She asked but before ayesha could reply harib entered with his parents.

All of them exchanged greetings with everyone and settled down in the main hall. Aafiya held ayesha's wrist and took her upstairs to her room after informing asra. It's not like they didn't want to sit with everyone but they couldn't just talk freely in everyone's presence.

Aafiya- so, did he scold you? She asked as they sat on her bed.

Ayesha- well, we kinda argued. On our way here I asked him why he agreed to take me with him but him being him said that he is not like me who doesn't listen to our elders. She said looking out of the window at a distance as her eyes burned with tears. She didn't want to feel weak, but she just can't control her emotions when she is hurt.
