ZAARA'S POV

The distance between mumbai and jaipur is pretty long,but still i felt like i reached within half an hour due to my overthinking about how things are gonna turn up. I have never bonded much with any of my mom side relatives and my dad's side have abandoned us for long time, then why does abeer like me? ..mom has always told they hated us since i was small. Where is my life even going.

'ohh stop being sooo dramatic' my conscious pricked me. My khala's house was very near to railway station soo i guess noone is coming to pick me. 

TRRRRIIIIIIIIIIINGGGGG!

what a wierd bell sound huh!...

The door is opened by middle aged lady who kinda had my mom's features. Must be khala..i decided.

"salam alaikum zaaara.... sooo long since we met .. i met u when u were 3 years old ...come in ..come in ..so glad u came to your khala's house" i was sooo happy that she liked me and was very kind to me.

"walaikum assalam khala..." i greet her back and struggle with my luggage. "ohh let me help dear.." she gives me hand in getting the luggages into the house. The house was a pretty middle class house just like ours.."zaara,your ammi and abu(mom and dad)  told me everything...and do not worry your khala will protect u okay?...you have no idea about khala's strength" she shows her muscles which cracks me up. she was not like a common desi aunt. she was different and i started liking her.

"thankyou khala...i am gonna take rest now..i am sooo tired" i tell her. "noo noo first freshen up..i have made food for u, u might have not eaten anything since yesterday... and only after that you go and sleep okay" she told me in concern.

"okayyy khala" i say and i head to the washroom . "and before that .. call ammi and abu(mom and dad) and tell you reached home they might be worried"khala says and leaves to the kitchen.

ohhh yaa totally forgot about that and i  quickly make a call. "helloo dad, its me zaara... i have reached safely"i inform dad. 

"ohhh thankgod zaara, i was very worried ... i have spoke to jaipur national university there...and they are glad to take you..so u can join from tomorrow alright"my dad says and i couldnt form words all of a sudden so i just say hmmm.

"ohh my dear..i am sorry..i know what u are going through..but dont worry everything is going to be fine ...i promise"my dad tries to assure me. 

"i  know dad i know ...alright dad.. see u soon ..i have to go..byee"I say halfheartedly."bye dear..."

"UNCLE".. I hear a noise through the phone before my dad hung up. It sounded familiar to me but who is that?i wonder. uhh whatever ..i have to freshen up  and eat ..i am sooo hungry.

ZAARA'S HOUSE 

"bye dear" zaara's dad  goes to hang up the phone but is startled when he hears a deep voice.

"UNCLE!"

"who are you?" zaara's dad asks in doubt as he wasnt able to recognise who it was. "He is my son bhai, ABEER SINGH RAJPUT" Abeer's mom replies with a proud smile. 

"what are you doing here mrs rajput?"zaara's dad asks in anger seeing his sister. 

"ohhhh nothing bhai, my son wanted to speak to u ...so thats why i brought him here...and abeer,why are you calling him uncle huh? he is your mama(maternal uncle) and your would be father in law" Abeer's mom smiling at abeer. 

"yes mom, i will remember that"abeer says with a smirk.

"STOP IT BOTH OF YOU ENOUGH IS ENOUGH....GET OUT BEFORE I CALL THE POLICE.."zaara's dad says in anger.

 "woaah woahh woahh easy there mama(uncle)...looks like you forgot but..no police is gonna help you coz...they are always in favour of the rajputs...being rich af has its own perks u see". abeer says cockily and sits on the sofa leaving zaara's dad horrified.

"ohhh come on abeer..is that the way you talk to your mama...already they hate us ..u want  him to hate us more.." abeer's mom says dejectedly. 

"sorry mom..i didnt mean it..i just got angry when he said he will call the police...sorry mama".abeer immidiately apologises feeling bad.

"suniyee ji..i went to market...do we have guest at...."zaara's mom comes from market and her becomes pale seeing her husband's sister and her son. 

"ohhh not guests dear...its just us"abeer's mom replies with a genuine smile. "ohh assalam alaikum....i mean..namaste"zaara's mom gets confused how to greet them. 

"ohhh why being formal dear...come sit down"abeer's mom says happily while abeer looks on. "walaikum assalam aunty...i mean...mami" abeer greets her back and zaara's mom and dad exchange glances.

"ok mama and mami ...i am gonna be straight with u both...i met zaara the first time in school itself and i really liked her even before i knew she was my cousin and after that i never met her and i couldnt forget her. and after few years mom showed me a photo of zaara and said she is my cousin and is joining the same college ...i mean dont u think its god sign that me and zaara should be together?"abeer says emotionally remembering his memories with zaara and zaara's parents look at abeer speechlessly as they are taken aback my abeer's level of intensity.

"ok..all i want to say is...i got a little angry when i got to know she liked someone and i yelled at her"abeer confesses. "WHAAAAT? she likes someone...omg she is just like us..."zaara's mom says happily which makes abeer glare at her and she immidiately realises what she has done.

"alright...i dont think you people understand how serious this is...i love her ok..not because she is my cousin and i have the right to marry and shit..and  i dont like the fact that she likes another guy. And now u people have sent her away from me... and i very sure you are not planning to bring her back. BUT, believe me...i will definitely find her...well we have our ways ...and when i find her..things are gonna get horrible for her....see u soon!"abeer warns and leaves from their house with abeer's mom following him leaving zaara's parents in horror.

"Abeer beta...u need to calm down dear... we will deal with this dont worry."abeer's mom tries to calm him down. "by the way..who sent u here mom" abeer asks in doubt as only tushar and gaurav knew where he was gonna go.

"akanksha informed  me"abeer's mom says winking her eyes. "and you guys told her huh?"abeer looks at gaurav and tushar and they act as if nothing ever happen. 

"ok abeer listen...i know what i am gonna say is gonna be hard for u and i am extremely sorry ....but, i think you should give zaara some space ...i mean she is just in the 1st year and your in your finals ...i think both of you should focus on your careers first and then you should start your wooing techniques after that?"abeer's mom says teasingly to cool her son down.

"MOM...but already she likes this armaan guy, if i leave this now she will end up with him...and i cant let this happen" abeer says in frustration.

"BETA, kehte hain agar kisi cheez ya insaan ko dil se chaho na..toh puri kaaynat use tumse milane ki koshish main lag jaati hai( people say when u want some thing or a person deeply from your heart..then the whole universe will try to bring you both together...yes its srk dialogue lol).abeer's mom says assuring abeer.

"mom ...srk is not gonna help us out now"abeer says in dejection

"BETA..i am serious no one can take what's yours...i repeat NO ONE"abeer's mom says with full confidence which instills determination in abeer.

I LOVE YOU ZAARA,...AND I WILL SURELY FIND YOU AFTER FEW YEARS....BE READY!.abeer thinks with a grin.
