Ch 20: A Step Closer

HAPPY NEW YEAR LOVELIES!!! <3

So, guess what? I changed my plan again /.\

I don't mind starting the other book a bit late but, leaving this one all cramped up in a couple of rushed Chapters, wouldn't really get the main point across. There was so much planned ... So much character development that's still yet to come.

It's not going to be long but it's not ending in 2 chaps like I said earlier (:

You will find more out later ;)

~~~HUSSAIN's POV~~~

"Phone hai ya mashuka? Ab chorh bhi de!" Shehry smirked at me through the mirror while I tried Madiha's number again.

"Ek toh Woh phone Nahi utha rahi Aur tujhe mazak sooj raha hai?" I scowled at him and turned my attention back to my phone. When she didn't answer my call, I sighed and kept it aside.

"Don't worry na... I am going there, I'll scold her and make sure she answers all you calls!" Rabia spoke, coming out of the washroom. She was all set for tonight's function; In fact, everyone was except me. I wanted to talk to her par madam Pata Nahi kahan busy hai.

"Chorho. Busy hogi," I sighed and sat down on the beanbag.

"Oh ho Hussain, ab mooh na latkao! You will see her Tomorrow, right? Ab itni bhi kya besabri?" Rabia looked at me through the mirror while applying lipstick.

"Says the one who was Skyping right before she entered the wedding hall," I smirked at her and she gasped.

"How many times do I have to tell you that I have anxiety issues and only one person can help me with those!" She said in her defence, earning another look for me.

"Yeah, I don't know how you survived so many years without him."

"Woh kya hai na, hum toh bas saans le rahe the, jeena toh inhone hame sikhaya hai," she smiled at Shehry and I rolled my eyes at the two of them. That doesn't even fit here.

"Whatever," I muttered and quickly excused myself before they could go in their romance mode, without caring about their surroundings. I think I'll never get used to of seeing my best friend with my brother.

I shook my head and went to look for mama. Finding her working in the kitchen, I wrapped my arms around her waist, hugging her from behind. "Aap kitna kaam karti Hein, chorde yeh sab!"

"Acha? Aaj itne saalo main Mera khayal aaya? Hato yahan Se!" She spoke, pushing me away. I let her go and leaned against the bench top, beside her.

"Sabse zyada khayal Mujhe hi aata hai aapka," I told her and earned a chuckle from her.

"Woh chorho, kya chahiye ye batao?" She asked me, and I rolled my eyes upon being caught, "bina baat ke makkhan toh tum lagane se rahe."

"Kya mama!" I winced, picking up an almond from the tray. She smacked my hand, warning me to not do it again, "khabardaar! Yeh halwe main daalne ke liye hai."

"Halwa? You made halwa for me?" I asked her, excited. She has been here for a while now but there are so many dishes she used to cook for me back home that I miss.

"Ji Nahi, yeh Madiha ke liye hai," she told me and I dropped my shoulders, "I need to take it there."

"Even you are going to meet her. Sab jao mujhe yahan akele chord kar!" I groaned, folding my arms.

She stopped working and looked at me. She sighed before caressing my cheek, "You will see her tomorrow na... Ab itni bhi kya jaldi hai? And anyway, you promised you will give her some space. Let her spend some time with her family since you two will be flying away tomorrow and she won't see them any time soon."
