"Abba jaan, hum janty hy ky aap humy wo sub kuch karny dety hy jo hamara dil karta hy lekin hamara farz banta hy ky hum apko itla kary ky hum kahan hy kya kr rhy hy" i said and he kissed my forehead .
"Aap dunya ki best beti hy.. afsos ki baat hy ky aap humsy 15 saal dur rahi" he said. "Lekin aap akely nai jaengi itni dur. Daniyal aur do bodyguards leky jaey, theek hy?"
"G abba jo hukm"

My best friend, Sikandar, is getting married next month. We have known each other for like 7 years. He is 3 years older than me. He always used to say that he won't get married until he is 28 but he couldn't refuse his sick mom when she brought her youngest cousin's proposal for him. He is still 24 and he is already tying the knot.
I don't know why i'm not feeling genuine happiness for him. Ever since he told me he is getting married in two weeks i feel lost.
I quickly called Daniyal. After lots of arguing and persuasion he agreed to come with me. This man will never get tired of working. He is has already won the CEO of the year award but still works very hard. He finally agreed to go with me.
"Emaan bibi, meney suna aap Dalbadin ja rhi hy?" My maid asked as soon as she entered the room.
"G farida apa, dost ki shadi me jana hy. Aur haan aap bhi ja rhi ho hamary saath."
"Lekin bibi me kesy ja sakti hu aap apny dost ki shadi me ja rhi hy to wahan mera kya kaam?"
"Apa apko hi mjhy tayyar karna hoga. Aur kitny din hgye ap apny bhai sy nai mily, rasty me apny bhai ky ghar jaengy aap mil lijye unsy"
"Bibi aap bht achi hy!"she said and i laughed. Whenever i try to make her happy she says that.
"Apa aap mera kamra saaf kar dijye me Zohra ky saath shopping krny ja rhi hu."

With that i left my room and headed to the kitchen. I grabbed an apple and called Zohra.
"Free ho?"
"Haan kyu?"
"Chal shopping krty hy. Shadi me jana hy"
"But yaar..."
"Chup chaap chal, me leny arhi hu"
I got in my Toyota Prado and set off to pick her up. We went to the nearby mall and i bought a few dresses and jewellery.
*few days later*
"Haan yaar yahin hy...dekh everything is decorated. " i told Daniyal. We were a bit confused about the house.
"Haan...GPS bi yehi ka bata rha hy... kissi sy pooch lety hy"

I got down the car.
"Excuse me sir" i called the watchman who was standing near the big metallic door. "Sikandar khan yehi rehta hy?"
"G mohtarma Saiba. Unhi ki shadi me aye ho na aap?"
"G" i replied and he opened the huge doors to let the cars enter.
It's after a whole year i'm meeting Sikandar! The first time we met in Islamabad was so much fun. Daniyal Sikandar Zohra Shabnam, my Mauritian best friend, and i went on a road trip. It was the best memories we ever had. At that time no one was committed in any way. We were all free and enjoying our friendship moments! Daniyal opened my door and i got out.
"Thanks buddy" i winked at him.
Sikandar's house was huge yet smaller than the castle dad has! But It was very beautiful. I was admiring its beauty when i heard a familiar voice.
"Hey hotness ki dukaan" i heard him. My heart skipped a beat. He always calls me hotness ki dukaan because he thinks am very hot! Well the credit goes to the gym!!
I turned around to find the most important part of my life who was mine only for a few hours.
"Hey handsome " we all had a group hug. Actually a forced group hug. I was hugging Sikandar when everyone joined in. I wanted to keep him for me only! Why did they touch him? Idiots!!

Control Emaan. He is getting married!

"Kesy ho tum log?" He asked smiling widely. Uff... teri smile!
"Fine yaar. Pury ik saal baad mil rhy hy!"
"Haan yaar we missed you" Daniyal joined in.
"Come let's go inside I'll introduce you guys to my family! "
We followed him leaving our luggage untouched as we had servants to help us!
Apa went to the rooms to arrange my things and the two bodyguards followed us.
Sikandar went to call a gorgeous lady who looked in her 50's. She was beautifully dressed in a dark blue abaya with a blue scarf wrapped around her head.
"Mama, my friends " Sikandar said.
"Friends, mama!"
