Enna Sona [Ziam]

Twenty Two

Zeenat shook her head looking at all the arrangements. This much preparation to celebrate the wedding of two boys? And that too Indian and Pakistani? Her culture has gone to the dogs! She doesn't understand how Khaala even agreed to this. Now, she doesn't want to be homophobic, but at least they should have chosen a good Pakistani guy! Was it necessary to tie up with the dushman? Others may not care, but she does. This boy who smiles too much definitely has something for her to use. If not a dark secret, then she will make something up. There's no way she is allowing this to go on! She knows what to do.

Zayn walks around with a drink in his hand, which has mint and lemon and something else he can't remember and it tastes good. So he has been drinking that all evening. This might lead him to use the washroom constantly, but who knows, maybe that's what he wants. As less time spent in the Sangeeth as possible, that much better.

He has sat through some energetic performances by the cousins who still hasn't gone back to their respective cities and countries after the wedding and his own sister had performed some classical dance which he made sure to be filmed to send to Faiz Jeeju. Zayn misses his brother-in-law. If only Faiz was here, maybe he would've taken Zayn's side? Ah, who's he kidding? Faiz Jeeju wouldn't say a word against Doni Di's wishes. They're pretty cheesy in love and he loved to tease them.

Zayn skimmed his eyes through the guests and found someone he wasn't looking for, but there he was anyway. Everyone's Golden Boy wearing literally a golden kurta. While Zayn went with his casual all black look, velvet, but that isn't the point, Liam was sparkling. And with all the golden lights and decorations in the house, he looked extra shiny. Zayn must be drunk on the mocktail because suddenly Liam looks so good, he can't look away. Or it's probably the light.

"Now, everyone has seen our planned and practiced performances. Ready for something spontaneous?"

Roo announced in the mic and the guests cheered. What is she upto now?

"Please put your hands together and welcome the newly married couple my Liam Bhai and Zayn Jeeju for a romantic dance!"

Zayn froze on the spot. WTF! Where can he disappear? Where is the portal when he needs one!? Doctor Strange, where are you?

Looks like Liam was in a same predicament, except he has been praying for Thanos to snap and wipe him away.

Someone pushed Liam towards Zayn, was that Zileh? And he stumbled into Zayn and he steadied Liam with an arm around his waist. Liam was going to pull back when everyone cheered once more and the main lights went out except for the few golden fairy lights. A slow music started playing and they looked around to see every couple joining in. So there's no way out of this. They have to dance.

"I lead."

Liam said, trying to pry Zayn's arm away from his waist.

"Let me lead this once."

Zayn whispered back. Why? He has no idea. But it felt right to only talk in whispers. They slowly started moving. Zayn's eyes never leaving Liam's.

Enna sona kyu rab ne banaayaa..

Zayn would've groaned at the song choice. It's literally what everyone says about Liam. "Enna sona munda!" But for some reason, Zayn couldn't bring himself to groan. Was Liam's eyes always this shade of brown? It's almost gold. Up close Liam is even more pretty.

Woah! Where did that come from? Did someone spike his drink?

Liam was surprised that Zayn can dance. Even more surprised that Zayn is leading the dance. And why was he looking at Liam like that? Should he be scared?
