Chapter Twenty One: Falling hard.

"No no! Serve more! You don't like the food?!" Mama asked Zahra aapi wide eyed.

Leave it to mama to over react over the smallest of things.

"Aunty! I thought what I had for tea was dinner, but clearly, no!" Zahra aapi said laughing. "I'm so full and I loved everything, I tried it all" Zahra aapi patting her tummy.

The elders were seated on one table, and the rest of us kids were seated in another.

Mama had come to check on up on us. she asked every one to serve once more and then walked back to her table.

Zahra aapi then looked at Arhaan and spoke. "Dear brother, if they are going to feed you this much of food." She said her hands motioning to at all the food on the table "I can surely expect you to turn into a fatty!"

Arhaan blushed "I go to the gym remember? And I don't mind. Its all very delicious, I loved the crab xacuti curry and corn soup the most." He said smiling.

I blushed. Did he have to say that!

"Oh really?! That's good! Azoora here made both of it! Look at the connection, he already loves your food!" Bhabhi said teasing while looking at me and Arhaan back and forth.

The tips of Arhaans ears turned red and I couldn't help but choke on the water I was sipping on.

"Jaan, stop messing around." Faiz said to bhabhi.

"I only said the truth jaanu!" Bhabhi replied to him winking.

"Aww look at the two of you, acting all lovey dovey." Shey said to bhabhi then looked at me and winked.

Everyone burst out laughing.

Thanks Shey! I owe you.

Now bhabhi and Faiz were the ones blushing.

I felt someone tug on my shawl, and so I turned to see who it was.

It was my baby Majid! He was tugging on my shawl and stretching his hands forward asking me to carry him while giving me his cute toothless smile.

"Awww come here my jaan." I said taking Majid from Zahra aapi and setting him on my lap. I missed this boy a great deal.

"Majid this is your mami." Zahra aapi said to Majid while pointing at me.

The little boy looked up at me and gurgled he then snuggled closer to me resting his head on my chest.

awwww.

I laughed in awe and looked up, only to find Arhaan staring at me with a smile playing on his lips.

I raised one of my eyebrows in question.

His eyes widened before he laughed shaking his head and sent a wink my way,

and there goes my heart. Even his winks had an impact on me.

"So Daaria, you seriously don't recognize Arhaan?" Ayaan asked "we've been patient for so long now, but not any longer."

"What do you mean! Of course I recognize him. He is my hayatis fiancé!" Bhabhi said looking at Ayaan like he was crazy.

Faiz slapped his fore head. "I married a child." he said shaking his head.

"C'mon Daaria! Its me Arhaan! We went to the same school, same grade!" Arhaan said. "Don't tell me you've forgotten me!"

"No! There is no way that you are THAT Arhaan!" Bhabhi yelled tearing.

"Its me alright!" He replied laughing while nodding his head.
