"May I come in Sir"

Haider lifted his head hearing a familiar voice and smiled "Aap already andar aa chuki hain "

The person bit her tongue "Sorry"

"It's okay Jannat...aao"

"Assalam walekum bhai"

"Walekum Assalam Jannat....so ready for the new phase of life." Haider stood up and side hugged her

"I am a little nervous"

"Bia se baat kar lo .. saari nervousness dur ho jayegi" Haider joked

"Wo college chhod kar yahaan aa jayegi honsla badhane..bas excuse chahiye hota hai use" Jannat rolled her eyes making Haider laugh

"Aap mujhe ek favour karenge..bhai"

"Hmmm.. bolo" Haider raised his brows asking

"Aap mujhe apne under rakh lein...."

"Ek toh Faiz bhai ka daar interns ko pehle se hi satane lagta hai......" Haider shook his head taking his seat

"Mujhe sach me unse bahut dar lagta hai......"

"Aur mujhse nahin lagta"

"Nahin...aap khadoos nahin hain"

"Well thank you but let me tell you people say I am way more strict than your khadoos Faiz bhai"

"Chalega"

"Ok mai dekhta hun......" Haider smiled. Jannat was about to get up when Faizan entered the cabin with a file.

"Assalam Walekum bhaijaan"

Faizan smiled and kept his hand on her head like an elder brother "Walekum Assalam"

Haider raised his brows at Jannat as if saying "See he is sweet"

"Kaisi ho tum?"

"Achi hun bhaijaan"

"Jannat ache se mehnat karna....I want to see you win the best intern" Faizan said in a serious tone making Jannat raise her brows at Haider this time saying "Look...was I not correct"

Haider sighed and shrugged

"Waise Haider...is file ko zara check kar ke Mathur Builders ko bhejwa do...and I want it quick"

"Ji bhai..aap befikra rahein"

Faizan nodded and went out of the cabin.

"Hawa toh aapki tight ho jati hai Bhai Faiz bhai ke samne " Jannat bit her inner cheek mocking Haider

"Tum mera mazaak uda rahi ho..." Haider narrowed his eyes at Jannat who was smiling

"Bilkul nahin bhai..aap se berukhi kar marna hai kya..rehna toh aapke sath hi hai"

"I must say...good decision" Haider said with a curt nod making Jannat laugh. After sometime, he also joined her making the cabin echo with bouts of laughter.

"Saad bhai...ye kaise kiya?" Anabia came to hall with her Maths book looking tired

"Arre yeh toh mera favourite sum hai .. idhar laa" Saad showed his teeth seeing the question

"Ache se exams paas karo phir tumhari shaadi ke bare me sochu main" Sabeena who was doing some embroidery work said casually

"Kya Ammi....aap Saad bhai ki shaadi karayein na.." Anabia whined

"Haan mai ready hun" Saad grinned making Sabeena hit his head "Padhai me utawlapan dikhao"

"Abhi nahi karti lekin us jaisa ladka zindagi me ek baar hi milta hai" Sabeena tried to get across her point in a calm tone
