ISHQIYA

Dard-e-Ishq V

Their lips were still attached to each other when someone yelled at them "What are you doing?"

Coming out of the hazy trance Mahnoor detached herself from Hamid by jerking him away.

Biting the inside of her cheek she turned to the person who shouted at them, and frowned.

"Who are you?" she asked the woman coming a little forward.

"She is my friend" Hamid answered before the girl could answer.

Mahnoor turned to him and he continued "She is my friend from university, Zeenat."

Then he turned to Zeenat "Zeenat, she is Mahnoor, my fiancé"

Mahnoor gazed at Hamid who introduced her and then at Zeenat, who was gritting her teeth, she couldn't decipher why?

But still she gave her a smile and greeted "Assalam Walaikum, hope you have a good stay here."

Zeenat gave her a tight smile then she moved closer to Hamid and said "Let's go Hamid."

Hamid gave her a stern look and went out of the room.

Zeenat turned to Mahnoor and said "Oh, so you are his Mahi, which he always brags about."

Mahnoor felt giddiness inside her listening to the endearment of 'his Mahi', she smiled at her a little and nodded her head. Then Zeenat kept her hand on her shoulder and hissed in anger "Don't worry, now you will not"

Mahnoor frowned "Means"

Zeenat snorted and squeezed her shoulder painfully "Means stay away from Hamid"

Mahnoor didn't hissed with the pain Zeenat was giving her, she kept her hand on Zeenat's hand then squeezed her hand and smiled "Why would I, I am his fiancé"

"Don't see that dream baby, Hamid was mine, he is mine, he will be mine." Zeenat spits on her face.

Mahnoor chuckled and said "Correction old lady, He was Mahnoor's, he is Mahnoor's, he will be Mahnoor's. He can't think about his life without me you see." And saying this she showed her ring finger to Zeenat, then her middle finger and barged out of the room.

-----------------------------------------

Hamid was standing taking support of a pillar as if the pillar was his spine.

A smile adorning his face and he was tracing his lips, where a few minutes ago, Mahnoor had kissed him.

He takes a deep breath as if taking Mahnoor's scent when Zeenat interrupts him "Wow, The lover boy is lost in his dream girl."

Hamid gave her a bored look and asked "What happened?"

"What happened, what happened Hamid, that little cousin's aka fiancé of yours...."

Hamid cuts her in between "She is not little, haven't you seen how beautifully she grew up, perfect, perfect for being mine."

Zeenat narrowed her eyes at him "Stop dreaming Hamid, you are mine, don't forget, I will not let being anyone's, and even if you tried then....."

"The thing you are blackmailing with me Zeenat is the result of your cunningness, and do you think I will be yours, never ever, Hamid was Mahnoor's, he is Mahnoor's, he will be Mahnoor's, by heart, by soul. You will not get any love, care, affection, hell not even attention from me." Hamid yelled at her and walked fastly toward his room.

Zeenat just stood there clenching, unclenching her fist.

---------------------------------------

Entering his room, he shuts the door loudly and smelled his room, when Mahnoor's scent was still present, and as always her smell calmed him.

Mahnoor has this effect on him.

Moving toward his bed, he sat on it.

'krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr' soon the sound came when he sat down on the bed, getting up hastily he removed his bed sheet and found his bed full of papads.(A papad is a thin, crisp, round flatbread from India. It is typically based on a seasoned dough usually made from peeled black gram flour, either fried or cooked with dry heat. Flours made from other sources such as lentils, chickpeas, rice, tapioca, certain millets or potato can be used.)

He sighed and muttered under his breath "Mahnoor, nothing will change, nothing."

He then chuckled at his fiancé's antics and engaged himself in removing all the papads.

------------------------------------------

Siddiqui's were having a lavish dinner in return for their son.

Zeenat was having everything she could.

Hamid was sighing minute by minute at Zeenat's glutton behavior. Heera and Mahnoor were passing glances to each other.

Heera forwarded her hand toward biryani, at the same time Zeenat also forwarded her hand toward biryani and both of their hands collided.

Both gave a smile to each other then took back their hand, then again both of them forwarded their hand, again they took their hand back, now Heera forwarded her hand and she was about to take the spatula when again Zeenat forwarded her hand.

Irritating, Heera gave her a tight smile and said "Zeenat, you take first, biryani must be your favourite and may be you are hungry for days.....I mean whole travelling must have made you hungry. Have it dear, take it whole, no one will eat here, biryani is only for you, you are after all guest here, bhukkad guest, how sweet of you, I think if you stay one more day, you will empty all our food stock, have it beta, have it." (hungry, dear)

Zeenat grinned and chirped "Thank you aunty, you are so sweet"

Heera glared at her and the remaining family members were stifling their laugh.

Mahnoor was having a difficult time stopping her laugh, when someone holds her hand under the dining table making her breath hitch.

She gave a glance to Hamid who was smiling at her when Farhan cleared his throat "Hamid, mashallah, you are back, I wanted to ask that, yours and Mahnoor's rukhsati will happen after she will complete her study, so do you want to do Nikah now or after her studies."

Before Hamid could say anything Zeenat said "But, Hamid and I are going to marry, how can you force him to marry Mahnoor."

Everybody gasped on the dining table. Mahnoor turned to Hamid.

Hamid's father asked "What is she saying, Hamid?"

"She is saying true baba, me and Zeenat are marrying each other"

And the hand he was holding snatched away from his hand, he turned to Mahnoor, who was now looking at him shocked, and her eyes were asking questions of his betrayal.
