"Udas aap ko dekhnese pehle ye aakhe na rahe...
Juda ho Jo aap humse to ye sase na rahe...
Aap ki zindagi me koi gamo ke palo ki yade na rahe...
Kuch is tarha hamari zindagi ek dusre se judi rahe...
Ki aakhirat me bhi hamara pakiza rishta yuhi bana rahe..."

(Before seeing you sad I should lose my eyesight...
If you'll get separated from me then I should lose my breaths...
In your life, there shouldn't be the memory of painful moments...
In this way, our life's should be connected...
That even in the afterlife our pure relation should be maintained just like this...)

"Dekh aa gai bhabi." Hadi directed towards the entrance.
(See sister-in-law came).

"Just confirm everything once again," Shahid asks him to which Hadi shakes his head and replies, "for God's sake Shahid I confirmed everything for the fifth time just a few minutes ago and if I'll ask again their manager will throw us out."

Shahid smiles looking at Sidhra's direction. She too returns his smile. After coming near him Sidhra introduces her brother to them. "Meet my brother Shahid and bro he's Shahid about whom I told you."

"Nice to meet you." Both the men say at the same time and then shakes each other's hands. Abdul Hadi introduces himself and then everyone takes their seat.

"What will you like to order sir?" When the waiter asks Shahid he looks at Sidhra who orders on behalf of her brother and friend too. She orders Chinese food while Shahid and Hadi order Lasagna.

When their order comes they start eating all the while talking about college and studies. "Hey Sha, have some." Sidhra extends her plate of noodles in front of Shahid.

"No thanks, but I dislike Chinese." He replies with a straight smile.

"Are you for real? Like who can dislike Chinese." Sidhra gives a surprised look then extends her plate towards Hadi and he takes some noodles from her plate.

"I hope you won't mind it." Saying so she eats Shahid's lasagna he only manages to give her a one-sided smile while his heart gets full of smiles.

"So Shahid what are you going to do after this? I mean your future plans?" Sidhra's brother asks Shahid.

"I'll search for a job and continue with M Pharm," Shahid replies.

"So no going back to your hometown after your bachelor's?"

"No, I guess. Actually, I want to start my career here. After spending so many years here I think it'll be hard to settle down in my hometown. I like the lifestyle of this place more than mine." Shahid replies with a fake smile all the while observing their expressions.

"That's new," Elli replies as she meet so many foreign students but none called this place better than their hometown and it's natural.

"Well not all men are the same and this friend of mine is a bit weird. But I'll be returning back after this." Hadi replies.

"You too can give company to your friend Hadi," Sidhra tells Hadi.

"Even if I want I can't." Hadi shrugs.

"May I ask why?" Eli asks.

"Because someone is waiting for me in Pakistan. I mean I'm engaged and soon after my bachelor's degree, I'll get married." Hadi replies happily.

"Great. What about you Sha? Are you also engaged?" She asks.

"No, no I'm single and I plan to marry a girl from this place. As I told you before I like it here." He raises his eyebrows and looks at Sidhra's direction.
