Assalam-o-Alaikum!

I kept my words and here is an early update <3

P.S Hussain is up to NO GOOD ;)

6| Nervousness and Dread 

Hussain | Lahore

Maha was stick to my tail repeating the same thing "Hussain please! Jane do na" She kept pleading since morning, after her friend called and gossiped about some stupid gathering at a friend's place. Girls and their gossips! Stupid! 

Keeping the newspaper back over the table I looked at her and she instantly made an innocent pleading face. "I promise it's the last time"

"Yeah! Last time was the last time too, and last to last as well" I nodded making her pout. "What kind of a party is it?" I asked and she jumped into the let-me-explain mode.

"It's actually not a party just a gathering you know. Dekho kia hea na k we are giving farewell to our seniors so we planned that from now onward, every weekend we all will gather at one friend's place to rehearse and practice for the skits and performances and you know Hussain! Already two of my ideas have been approved and am also finding the....

"Okay okay fine!" I stopped her rant. "Kitna bolti ho tum?" I shook my head getting up and she followed. "So can I go?" she asked hesitantly.

"Who is this friend of yours?"

"Fatima. Remember she once came home in my sand ups, we studied together. Yad aaya?" Maha tried to remind me.

"Yeah that loud one who spoke less and screamed more" I stated and she made a face.

"Hussain! girls do squeal and scream and shriek. Tumhari taraf boring or dull to ho nai saktey hum ub" Maha rolled her eyes stating and I raised my eyebrow, that instantly reminded her she was in need of my permission and for that she had to keep good terms with me. "I mean you are serious and sober and... you know" she sheepishly grinned and I smiled shaking my head at the timely u turn she took.

"Where does she live?"

"Defence block Y" Maha quickly replied and I nodded. "So can I ask her to come and pick me?" she added.

"No, I will drop you myself"

"Oho Hussain bus she is coming to pick Aansa anyways, she can pick me as wel...." Maha trailed off as I gave her a don't-argue look and she moved her head in a tentative nod. "Okay!"

"Go get ready" I said but before she could squeal erupting my eardrums I pointed my index up at her in warning. "Phone vibration per mat rakhna, I will call you half hour before coming back to pick you from her place. Got it?"

"Aye Aye Cap!" she saluted happily and then ran to her room, I was about to turn on the tele when the door bell rang. 

"Kiya museebat hea yar!"

Amna | Shehry's place

Just upon the first door bell I heard footsteps coming towards the door and I mentally thanked God for not making me wait... it was freezing cold outside.

The door flung open, Hussain stood there and before I could greet him he pressed a tight smile. "Sorry Shehry ghar per nai hea" and with that he shut door at my face but stopped right near the frame. "or wo ek haftey bad aaye ga so ap bhi tab he aaiye ga. Shukriya" he added informing me but I held the handle and leaned in towards him.

"I know Shehry isn't home, tabhi to aai hoon. Samjha karo yar!" I mischievously winked at the end, his eyebrows furrowed and then his eyes widened in mock horror as he backed off.
