Abbiya's POV

I was tired today , the event ended at evening. Suffiya baji and Asher bhai were Landing today. I was on the way to airport Fortunately Khala called me and told me about Suffiya baji's delayed flight and my time was saved, so I turned my car back towards my home. On the way to home I saw Kiran's number blinking on my screen. I attended her call and put it on loud speaker.

"Asalam o Alaikum Abbi kaisa tha tmhara event?" Kiran asked.

"Wa'alaikum as Salam Alhamdulilah bohat acha tha" I replied.

" Aaj to mohtarma bohat khush hongi Nand bhi araein hn Canada se or sath 'Un' ka deedar b hojaye ga" She said.

" Hahaha Suffiya baji ki flight delayed ha teen din isliye aaj ni arahin" I replied and laughed.

" Aaj to zulm pe Zulm horae hn Bachi pe khair aik kam kro me tmhara dukh kam krne me madad krskti hn" She said and a smile crept on my lips.

" Kiran bohat bari drameybaaz ho tum koi dukh nahi ha mjhe-.." I was cut by her.

" Jhoot matt bolo!" she said.

" Umm han ha thora sa" I replied honestly.

" Good-.." She was cut by me.

" Hain? " I said with fake anger.

"Tch puri baat to suno bewakoof me tmhara gham ghalat krskti hn ajao humare favorite spot pe" She said.

" Ab itna b rog ni laga ha mujhe" I rolled my eyes.

"Abbi! arae ho ya nahi?" she said.

"Arae hn " After replying, I informed Ammi and also told them to not leave for airport.

I drove my car towards our favorite spot Arzu, Kiran and I love to visit Fortress stadium since our childhood and we usually visit our favorite ice cream parlor. I parked my car and went inside and sit on our favourite window side table and start skimming the menu till 'The mohtarma' came. She always made sudden plans and if we denied she blackmailed us I could see her car from windows she waved her hand and I rolled my eyes. She came inside and hugged me tight.

Aqib's POV

" Yar jaldi se order kro treat tmhari taraf se" A voice came from my back and I brushed my thoughts and started enjoying my ice cream.

"Kis khushi me?" The second girl replied.

Ye awaz to suni suni ha... Abbiya ki lagrae ha mein uski awaz achey se pehchan sakta hn

I want to look back But I couldn't see because of the Sofa's back.

"Wo isliye Abbiya Madam Kiu k Aap ki shaadi horae ha" that girl replied.

" Aik to pta ni meri shaadi k nam pe tum kitni treats niklwao gi mujhse" Abbiya replied and chuckled.

" Waisey Aqib bhai ne miss krdiya ha aaj bohat piyari lgrae ho tum Masha Allah" she said.

" Acha? Ab treat deraein hn itni tareef to deserve krti hn me" Abbiya said and This lively Abbiya was new for me. We are absolutely changed persons when we are with friends same is the case with me and Asad.

"Dafa hojao! tumhari tareef hi ni krni chahiye" her friend replied.

" Or tumhara novel ki aakhri qist kb arahi ha? Aik bar yad rakhna agar tumne kisi ko mara to me tmhe marr du gi thik ha aap writer hn pr iska matlab ye nahi k logo k jazbaat k sath khaila jaye apne last drama ki b sad ending ki thi or tumhara pichla novel ki ending b bht dardnaak thi do din tk royi thi me is baar aisa kuch hua to-" her friend stopped.

" To? To?" Abbiya asked with naughtiness.

"Tumhara sar pharr du gi mein Wallah dil ka mareez bna k choro gi" her friend replied and Abbiya laughed sweetly and a smile crept on my face too.

" Tumhari is over acting ka koi farq ni pra mujhe well Is bar ki ending unforgettable or flabbergasting hogi" Abbiya replied.

" Chlo tum kehti ho to mann leti hn aik to tum koi teaser ya clue b ni deti" her friend said.

" Abbu b yehi kehte hn magar tum logo ko suspense me daal k bht maza ata ha" Abbiya replied.

" Bohat achey! Abbi " her friend said with mock anger and Abbiya replied I didn't want to listen to their conversation but still I want to listen to their conversation. 

I want to know Abbiya. We haven't talked on phone or messages when ever we meet we never talk except for the usual greetings, the Salam-Dua . I have watched some of her interviews but this Abbiya was new to me.

"Ok tum order kro Abbu ki call arae ha yaha signal nahi hn mein zara bahir ja k call attend kr k ayi" Abbiya said and now I couldn't hear any voices except Abbiya's friend
she was ordering Ice cream and I inadvertantly look outside the window while eating my ice cream.

She was wearing light purple dress with white hijab and heels and cherry on top was her graceful personality. She was looking breathtakingly beautiful she didn't look at me after attending call she went inside.

I was stuck between her beautiful face. Her smile curves and her eyes but my heart ached I want to leave this place. Soon I payed the bill and left that place, I could see her from outside. I stole my gaze and drove towards home.

I drove so painfully and reached home and the dinner changed my mood in an instant. Shakira chachi cooked wonderful Qourma my mouth watered I missed Asad so much at that time.

"Asalam o Alaikum!" I chirped.

"Wa'alaikum as Salam" They all replied soon after washing my hands I moved towards dinning table to enjoy My yummy dinner.

Abbiya's POV

"Asalam o Alaikum!" I entered in my house and Ammi was busy in preparing dinner while Abbu was arranging plates and glassess on table. I love this thing of Abbu he always support Ammi in household work too and never feels ashamed of it!. Men should also help their wives and I love this thing.

"Wa'alaikum as Salam" they replied in unison.

"Abbi jao mera bacha foran se pehle change kr k ajao bohat thaki hogi aaj dinner ready ha" Abbu said.

" Jee Abbu bs 5 minute mein ayi" I replied and went to my room I was hell tired today. I was sad but Alhamdulilah Kiran made my day with her 'mazey mazey ki batein' It was a nice start of my day and nice evening too. I was sad I will be leaving Pakistan in some days and I will miss Kiran alot.

Waqei sahi kehti ha Kiran! Mein b Brazil jaraein hn , Arzu b Brazil ha, Kiran ko b udher hi Aajana chahiye shaadi kr k... Life will be good!

I smile on my own thoughts well I brushed my thoughts and went for dinner.

After 3 days

"Yes I am here!" After Dua I folded my prayer mat and we all leave. Me Ammi and Abbu were going to receive Suffiya baji's faimly and I was really happy. I wore peach colour shalwar Kameez along with dark pink Hijab and paired with multi colored Khussas. I didn't get a chance to meet Khala or Khalu since past three days because she was busy with her In-laws in regards to their some property issue but we talked on phone several time Soon three of us left for the airport my heart was beating wildly.

We reached there and Khalu, Khala were waiting for Suffiya baji's faimly and Aqib was no where.

Kiya Aqib nahi aye aaj?

"Asalam o Alaikum!" I said and we all exchange our Salam.

"Wa'alaikum as Salam meri jan kaisi ho?" Khala said and hugged me tight

" Bikul thik Allah ka shukar " I replied while still hugging her.

"Masha Allah bohat piyari lgrae ha ho hmesha ki trha " She said and kissed my forehead.

"Thank you Khala" I replied and smile

" Jeeti raho" Khalu Patted my head.

"Aqib kaha ha?" Abbu asked.

"Uski koi call thi wo attend krne gya ha...lein wo agya" Khalu replied and I saw Aqib was coming towards us. He was looking handsome as always wearing jeans and shirt our eyes locked for a second and I stole my gaze.

"Asalam o Alaikum!" He said and hugged Abbu.

" Wa'alaikum as Salam" I mumbled.

"Kaise hn aap log" He asked and I couldn't speak.

"Hum sab thik hn Aap Kaise ho Aqib?" Ammi asked.

"Alhamdulilah! Mein thik hn " he replied with a smile.

"Aap  kaisi ho Abbiya?" He said and my heart skipped a beat.

" Allah ka shukar ha mein b thik hn" I said with a smile.

" Nano! Nana! Mamu!" Meanwhile Aafia and Ahmed, Suffiya baji's twinies run and hugged Khala and Khalu and Suffiya baji and Her Husband Asher came with a big smile along with their trollies We all exchanged Salam and hugged everyone was happy Masha Allah.

"Kaisi ho Abbiya" Suffiya baji gave me a bone crashing hug.

" Allah ka shukar ha mein thik hn...Aap sunaein kaisa raha safar?" I asked.

" Alhamdulilah sab thik ha or safar b acha raha ha" she replied with a smile. Suffiya baji's faimly was too much tired. Soon after Meet and Greet session We all bid Good byes and I glanced at Aqib ,He was holding 5 years old Aafia in her arms.

"Mam-u my turn!" Little Ahmed raised his little arms and he held him, now he was holding both of them. He was looking damn cute with kids meanwhile my phone rang It was Kiran.

Lo! Hogyi shuru!

"HELLO HELLO HELLO AWAZ ARAE HA?" She literally Screamed.

" Ahista bolo chand pe ni baithi hn mein" I said lowering my tone.

" Acha mujhe btao ghr agyi ho?" She asked.

"Nahi abhi nikl rae hn Ghr akey baat karu gi tumhare naik irade maloom hogye hn mujhe" I said and smiled.

" Chalo ye or b asani hogyi ha meri tum ghr pohancho araam se baat hogi" she said and hung up the call soon we left too.

Aqib's POV

I checked all my official emails and replied them all. Mr Aliyaan also kept updating me about my  company.

Asad was coming Pakistan next week and I feel a bit relaxed. Atleast My best friend will be on my side and He knows everything about me so it would be a big support. Its been two days since I meet Abbiya and Her innocent face came infront of my eyes.

"Kahi kuch galat to nahi horaha"  This sentence kept banging my head around thousand times a day and I ignored Every time, I lay on my bed and closed my eyes an old memory of mine and Minal hit my mind.

8 years back...

"Ye kiya tareeqa ha Minal puri University me ghuma rae ho tum mujhe" she was running because someone said that  Tom Cruise is visiting our University today and she was big fan of her

"Yar me ye opportunity miss ni krna chahti" she said looking here and there

" Acha? Mujhe baar baar kiu lg raha ha k humare sath prank horaha ha?" I said

" Agr tum us se nahi jaltey hotey to ye hargiz nahi kehte" she said and pinched me

" Ouch! Chalo mein kab se jalne lga Mr Tom Cruise se?" I said and rolled my eyes

"Yar! Aao wo samney Guard se puchtey hn usse pta hoga" I said

" Mein kuch ni pooch raha" I replied

" Aqib! Please meri khatir Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee" she said and I surrendered

" Ok jaraha hn" I said and approached The Guard

"Com  licença, senhor! Tom Cruise está vindo para a nossa universidade hoje?

(Excuse me Mr! Is Tom Cruise coming to our University today?)" I asked in Portuguese, People speak many languages here including English and Spanish etc but Portuguese is official language of Brazil and the Guard made weird faces.

"Você está em seus sentidos, garoto? O que ele fará no Brasil?

(Are you in your senses Boy? What he will be doing in Brazil?)" He also replied in Portuguese

" Ok obrigado!

(Ok Thanks!)" I said and threw glares at Minal

" Bisti successfull!" She was laughing hardly

" Mene pehle hi kaha tha k Tom Cruise yaha kiya kr raha hoga pr tmhe smjh hi ni ati! Huh!" I said with fake anger

" Yaar mujhe to Gham lag gya ha acha khasa!" She said putting her hand on her heart

"Yar to koi baat ni mein b konsa Tom Cruise se kam hn" I said and Laugh she punched me on my chest

"Tum to ho hi sariyal tmhe kiya pta fan following kiya hoti ha! At least me marne se pehle aik bar Tom Cruise se milna chahti hn" she said and I felt someone cut my heart into pieces

" Mind your language Minal!" I said and leave that place

"Minal!" I woke up and I was wet with sweat. A tear rolled down my cheek

Mujhe kbhi kbhi lgta ha Minal tumhari us din Mun se nikli hui baat qubool hogyi thi! Kitna smjhata tha mein tumhe mat kiya kro istrha ki batein! Tum mujhe hamesha ki azziyat de gyi ho!....Aisa lgta ha zindagi k safar me kisi ne beech chorahe mein baandh k latka diya ha mujhe na aagey jasakta hn or peeche? zindagi kisi ko peeche palatne ka mouqa hi kb deti ha?!
