Me, Asad and Dad were putting our luggage in the car. Asad was also going to drop us on airport.

"Sab rakh liya ha na?" Mom asked.

" Yes boss" Dad replied and we smiled. Soon wr all left for our destination.

"Aqib kal Pohanch k phone zaroor krna" Asad said.

" Of course yar" I replied Meanwhile I was putting our all luggage on trolley.

"Wo isliye keh raha tha k kahi bhool hi na jana humein" Asad said with a meaningful smile.

" Nahi bhoolu ga " I said and Rolled my eyes.
" Ok Beta jaldi ana aap sab bhi" Dad said to Asad.

"Insha Allah Jaldi ayein ge, fi-Amman Allah" Asad replied.

Soon we bid our good byes and moved towards departures. My heart was beating wildly in my chest.

Abbiya's POV

We all were having our lunch.

"Saim Aapki baat hogyi thi Rahim bhai se kb pohanch rahein hn wo log? Suffiya or Asher ki kb ki flight ha?" Ammi asked to Abbu.

"Hanji aaj take off se pehle baat hogyi thi meri kal dupahar tk pohanch jayein ge or Suffiya or Asher kal raat tk pohanch jayein ge insha Allah" Abbu replied my heart skipped a beat

To finally Mr Aqib Aap arae hn Pakistan wo b purey 18 maheeno bd!

After lunch I went to my room, opened my laptop and checked the response on my second last episode of my current ongoing novel which I had been writing since Last year meanwhile I received text from Arzu And literally jumped at my place. She was also coming to Pakistan next week to attend my marriage OMG! I was so excited.

Well I started writing my last chapter which was going to be published soon after completing it I moved towards kitchen and helped Ammi.

"Ammi Arzu arae ha Pakistan" I told Ammi while smiling.

"Ye to bohat achi baat ha. Acha ha na sab saheliyan aik sath halla gulla krna" She said while turning on the cooking range.

"Halla gulla k naam pe tang krein gi dono mujhe or Aap b mil jayein gi sath" I said taking out the vegetables she laughed meanwhile her phone started ringing.

"Jayein aapkey shohar ka phone aya ha" I smirked and earned a slap from her she left the kitchen. I cut all vegetables I was going to cook Mix vegetable Rice today as I love them. meanwhile Ammi entered in the kitchen.

"Hogyi baat?" I was teasing her.

"Tmhare Abbu ka nae designer ka phone tha Wo kehraein thin k tumhara Wedding dress next week tk ready hojayega" she replied with a smile.

" Oh! Acha great" I passed her a genuine smile.

"Ammi" I called her.

"Jee Ammi ki jan" she replied my eyes turned glassy.

"Aap or Abbu akele hojayein ge mere badd" I said and she hugged me.

"Bohat yad ayegi Abbi! Magar mene or tumharey Abbu ne khudko samjha liya ha Meri jaan tmhe aik na aik din to Rukhsat karna hi tha...Jab b tumhari yaad ayegi tumhein call krlein ge or mein or tmhare Abbu tumse milne b ayein ge Brazil Insha Allah or mein Aqib ko keh dun gi k meri Beti ko jaldi jaldi Pakistan milwane le k aya kare" She said and kissed my forehead.

"Or tum hi to kehti ho Ammi Abbu aap aik doosre ko time diya krein Mene to tumhare Abbu ko kehdiya ha hum dono milkey wo sari adhoori paintings or sketches jo store me parin hn wo muqammal kraein ge " She said.

" Yani mokey pe chokey?" I said and smiled.

"Kind of" she replied I know she was teasing me.

"Ammi!!!" I laughed she know how to make me smile.

At Morning

I woke up around 12. After long time I slept for so long all my projects kept me awake for days. In my ongoing projects days I didn't get much sleep and I had to wake up late so I could sleep well.

I took a relaxing shower and moved downstairs. Ammi and Abbu were not at home they both were gone to give invitations to all our relatives and after that, they both had to go to airport to receive Khalu Khala and Aqib. I felt butterflies in my stomach. Brushing my thoughts I went to kitchen to prepare sandwiches for me and plopped myself on the nearest couch. Lazy today

I wasn't in the mood of doing anything today because my Mind was stuck at one person after eating my sandwiches I forced myself to get ready It was 1'oclock. I moved towards my room.

I changed myself into light purple colour kurti and trousers along with white hijab and heels and applied Light makeup and left for the event.

Aqib POV

After a long tiring flight we Landed safely. After all procedures we moved towards Arrivals. I always feel so good when ever I visit Pakistan....my homeland.

I saw so many people on meeting point. Many of them exchanging hugs and emotions. Finally I saw Ghulam Ali chacha having a big smile on his face. He love me since my childhood. I too, love him. I moved forwards and hugged him tight.

"Asalam o Alaikum beta kaise ho!" He said patting my shoulder.

"Wa'alaikum as Salam chacha me thik hn Aap kaise hn?" I replied with a smile.

" Alhamdulilah!" He replied and he exchanged Salam with Mom and Dad.

" Sab thik raha rastey me?" He asked with love.

"Han Ghulam Ali sab khairiat rahi" Dad replied meanwhile Saim Uncle and Saadia Aunty approached us holding a beautiful flower bouquet and exchanged Hugs , Salaam and Duas.

"Ye Abbiya ki taraf se wo nahi asaki isliye bhijwaya ha" Aunty handed a beautiful bouquet with a chocolate box.

"Arey iski kiya zaroorat thi! Meri us se baat hui thi, bohat bura feel krrae thi k wo hme receive ni kr paye gi airport se mene use kaha k koi baat ni tum bd me zaroor humari taraf chakkar lga lena" Mom said with a genuine smile.

"Zaroor! Or Aap sab ko is weekend ana ha humari taraf Dinner k liye or Aqib ko bhi le k aye ga" Saadia aunty said with a smile.

" Jee aunty hum sab ayein ge insha Allah" I replied.

" Chalein Aap log thakey hue hn bohat Ab Aap logo ko ghar ja k rest krna chahiye kisi bhi cheez ki zaroorat ho please hme inform krdijiye ga" Saim uncle said and patted my head..

" Han Saim zaroor batayein ge!" Dad said and gave him a side hug We bid our goodbyes and they leave meanwhile Ghulam chacha was putting our luggage in the car and I helped him.

I felt bad None of my Taya's family received us from airport. I could clearly see pain on Dad's face but I didn't say anything. I instantly called Asad to tell us that we reached here safely.

"Shakira ne Aapkey ane ki khushi mein dhair sarey khaney bnayein hn" Ghulam chacha told us about his wife

" Wo humesha se humare Pakistan aney pe humein Apne Hatho ka behtreen khana khilati ha sach me Brazil me uske Hath k khaney ki bohat yaad ati ha" Mom said with a smile.

"Hum sab jee apko bohat yaad krte hn" He replied.

Ghulam Ali chacha is around 56 years old with a well trimmed white beard with luminous face. He retired from His government job recently and he lived with his Wife Shakira and a Son Amir.

We reached our place and smile crept on my lips, Our beautiful house! It's exterior was covered with Bougainvillea and it was divided in two parts. It looked as if there are two different houses but actually not, the two parts are connected inside Ghulam Ali chacha's family lived in the back part of the house and we will be staying in the front part there were eight small flower beds on both sides of the entrance gate.

"Ghulam Ali kuch bhi nahi badla Hamesha ki trha sambhal k rakh hua ha tmne hamara ghar" Dad said with a smile and he mirrored it too.

Shakira Chachi received us and she was so much happy I helped Ghulam Ali chacha to take all our luggage to our respective rooms after a glance at my room smile crept on my lips nothing was changed except window curtains and bed covers. I moved back to help Mom Dad too meanwhile I received call from Asher. I furrowed,he told us that their flight is three days delayed due to bad weather.

"Mom Dad! Asher ka phone tha wo kehrahe they k waha ka mousam kharab ha wo teen din badd ayein ge Pakistan" I informed them.

" Oh! Khair se ayein mere bachey" Mom said.

"Insha Allah or baki sab khairiat ha?" Dad asked.

" Han Alhamdulilah" I replied.

"Aap sab mu hath dho k ajayein khana tyar ha" Shakira chachi approached us with a smile, such a sweet and simple lady. I am looking her like this since my childhood.

We all freshened up ourselves and reached at dinning table

"Chachi Amir kaha ha?" I asked.

"Beta wo Apni nokri pe ha" she replied.

" Uski to night shifts nahi thin" I asked.

"Ab badal di hn uske daftar walo ne" she replied Amir worked in a private call centre after his graduation and his parents are satisfied with him.

"Khana bohat acha ha Shakira B" Dad admired her food.

"Waqei Beshak ye sarey Khaney bahir k mulk hum b bnatey hn magar jo apney mulk k Khanein apne mulk mein baith k khaney ka maza ha wo or kahi nahi ha" Mom said and everyone was enjoying food and Shakira chachi was serving different dishes in our plates.
"Shakira Hum khud le lein ge please tum Ghulam Ali ko b bula lo or khana khao humare sath" Mom said and she nodded.

" Ab bohat ziyada kaam hn mil k krne hn hmne Aqib ki shadi k liye" Mom said to Shakira chachi.

" Zaroor khushi khushi.... mein to kbse is din k intizar mein thi. " Shakira Chachi said genuinely While Ghulam Ali smiled they are more then our faimly.

Sahi kehte hn gairr khoon kabhi kabhi apne khoon ko maat de deta ha

"Suffiya beti or baki sab kitne baje araein hn aaj Pakistan" Ghulam Ali chacha asked.

" Waha mousam kharab ha isliye unki flight delay hogyi ha Insha Allah teen din badd ayein ge sab" Dad replied meanwhile Dad's phone rang and his facial expressions were telling who was at the other side of phone.

"Asghar ka phone tha khairiat pooch raha tha or Salam b deraha tha" Dad replied with cold expressions after hanging up the call Asghar is my Taya Abbu.

"Wa'alaikum as Salam" Mom replied coldly.

After doing wonderful lunch we all headed towards our rooms for some rest, as we reached after a long flight.

At evening

I woke up around 6:30 in the evening and now I was feeling light. After taking a relaxed shower I opened my room windows and let the fresh air inside. I felt so good. I decided to go outside, but as I heard noises from living room, I took all the gifts for Ghulam Ali chacha's faimly. I went outside and everyone was enjoying tea. Amir was also there.

"Asalam o Alaikum Aqib bhai kaise hn aap?" he chirped.

"Wa'alaikum as Salam Amir mein thik thak kaisey ho tum?" I asked and gave him a brotherly hug.

" Mein thik Alhamdulilah!" He said with a smile.

"Arrey wah chaye Samosy!" My mouth watered.

"Ao taste kro bohat achey hn" Mom said and I took Samosa. It was so yummy I handed them their gifts.

"Ye aap sab k liye" I gave Amir and Shakira Chachi the gifts. Ghulam Ali chacha was not at home he was out for a household work.

"Iski kiya zaroorat thi" Shakira chachi said.

" Rakh lein Aqib bohat piyar se laya ha" Dad said.

"Muhabbat se laya hn Aapke liye inkaar matt karein Aapki di hui Anmol Muhabbat k aggey ye sb beymol hn" I said with a genuine smile.

"Khush raho!" Sakira chachi pat my head

" Shukriya bhai bohat acha ha" Amir said with a smile meanwhile his phone rang and he excused us.

" Ok Mom Dad Mein zara chakkar lga k ata hn bahir ka " I said taking car keys.

" Beta dinner se pehle ajana" Mom said.

" Ok boss! Acha jee Allah Hafiz" I bid my good bye and I drove my car towards Fortress stadium.

Parking my car I moved towards my favorite ice cream parlor I sat and ordered my ice-cream meanwhile I was getting video call fron Asad.

"Asalam o Alaikum!" I chirped, my mood was very good and I was so fresh today.

"Wa'alaikum as Salam! Bhai mazey horae hn mere bagair" He said.

" Bikul sahi andaza lgaya Aapne ice-cream khaney aya hun phir walk karu ga" I replied and smile .

" Hazam ni hogi tumhe mere bgair" He replied and I laughed.

"Hojayegi Don't worry" I said and teased him after talking on random stuff we hung up the phone.

I was waiting for my ice-cream then I heard a familiar voice from my back I could recognize her voice in too much noise. Neither could I see her nor could she.
