The alarm clock started ringing, the voice was vibrating in the room. Aahil was sleeping, quickly got up and turned off the alarm. He rubbed his eyes, made her way towards the bath room.

After couple of minutes, he came outside from the dressing room in his office outfit, a well-fitted suit, a crisp dress shirt, a tie, and some quality leather shoes.

He combed his hairs and applied some perfume. Someone knocked the door, his attention diverted towards the door.

"Yes?" Aahil said in cold voice.

Rida entered in the room, "Assalam o Aliakum Bhai, good morning!" She meekly greeted him.

Aahil smiled lightly, "Waliakum Salam" He greeted back.

"Bhai, ap tayar ho gaye to neeche ajain, nashta lag gaya hai" Rida informed.

"Beta, mein late ho raha hun, aj nahi kar paonga" Aahil excused.

"Bhai, please naaa, ap bina kuch khaye piye chale jate hain aur phir mujhe lunch banana parhta hai" Rida complained like a baby.

"To apko kisne kaha hai mere liye lunch banane ko?" Aahil scoffed, crossed his arms.

"Mera farz hai, ap mera itna khayal rakhte hain aur mera bhi farz banta hai ke mein bhi apka khayal rakhun" Rida demanded.

"Acha baba chaliye" Aahil said meekly, agreed.

Rida grinned, Aahil took his briefcase and they walked out from the room.

"Neend nahi arahi thi, aisi" Rafay replied meekly.

"Rohail ka kuch ata pata hai, dubai se ane ka koi irada hai yaa isne ghar chordia" Rida asked, mocking and chuckled.

Aahil glared at her with serious look, she stopped smiling.

"Pata nahi, bhai keh rahe the aj ki flight se wapis aingay, lekin ab tak aye nahi, mujhe kaam tha aur phone bhi nahi utha rahe the" Rafay told worriedly.

"Go!" Aahil added.

Employee rushed out from the room. Aahil took the glass from side and took a sip of water, he worriedly shook his head.

Someone knocked the door, "YES!" He screamed.

Junaid entered in the room, "Kya huaa, kiski shamat agayi hai?" He asked jokingly.

"Junaid, kitni dafa kaha hai ke mere office mein tumhe knock karne ki zarorat nahi hai" Aahil complained strictly.

"Bhai, apke gusse ka kisi ko nahi pata, ye naa ho ke tum mujhe office se bahar karwado" Junaid replied, trying to lightened his mood.

"Ye mazak ka waqt hai?" Aahil asked seriously, furrowed his eyebrows.

"Aahil, come on please calm down" Junaid assured him.

"Kese calm down hojaon yaar, koi kaam dhank se nahi ho raha" Aahil worriedly explained his concern.

"Sab hojaiga, tera office band nahi hoga, trust me!" Junaid reassured him.

"Zindagi wese hi har baar koi na koi imtehaan le rahi hai, pata nahi ab kya hoga" Aahil said desperately.

"Befikar raho, sab acha hoga" Junaid added, smiled softly.

"Tum batao, tumhare case ka kya bana?" Aahil asked genuinely.

"Yaar, mein is case ko lekar bht pareshan aur confused hun, ye ek bht bara case hai" Junaid told seriously.

"Mujhe samaj nahi araha ke pichle ek saal se is case ka koi solution kyu nahi nikal raha hai" Aahil said surprisingly.

"Ye ek drug smuggling ka bht bara case hai, handle karna bht mushkil hai, iske peeche jo bhi hai isne ek family se plot ke naam par amount nikal wayi aur achanak gayab hogaya" Junaid added.

"To koi naam wagera ya koi information mili?" Aahil inquired.

"Han, police ne ek bande ko arrest kia hai lekin isko bhi apne boss ke bare mein zyada maloom nahi hai, iska pora naam tak nahi pata" Junaid replied irritatingly.

"Naam kya hai?" Aahil questioned.

"Javed!" Lekin iska kehna hai ke ye naam bhi galat aur ye banda jo koi bhi hai abhi filhal out of country hai" Junaid explained his concern.

"Agar pora naam pata hota to information nikalna asaan hota" Aahil added.

"Jo bhi hai lekin bas mujhe ab koi na koi solution nikalna hi hoga" Junaid stated confidently.

"Ghar mein sab theek hai?" Aahil questioned genuinely.

"Sab theek hain lekin ap jiski khairyat pochna chah rahe hain, saaf saaf pochiye" Junaid teased him with mischievous grin.

"Shut up Jojo!" Aahil said, faked offended.

"Areee, tumhari biwi hai, tumhare nikkah mein hai, tumhe khud baat karni chaiye" Junaid advised him.

Aahil lowered her glaze, "Kabhi himmat nahi hoti" He said politely.

"Tum aur Hania bilkul ek jese ho, tum dono ko apni zindagi mein agai barhna hoga aur past ki baton ko bhoola dena chaiye" Junaid meekly advised him.

"Mein bhi chahta hun ke agay barhjao, lekin pichle kuch salon mein jo hua hai mujhe bht taqleef hoti hai" Aahil explained innocently.

"Janta hun, ek face tha jab tumne apni mama ko khoya aur meinay apne baba ko, phir ek face aisa aya ke meinay apni mama ko khodia aur tumne apne baba ko, phir hamari struggle, tumhare business ke masle, i know sab kuch bht mushkil tha" Junaid added, trying to assured him.

"Tumhari mama se mein bhi bht close tha, inhi ki health condition ko dekhte hue hi meinay Hania se nikkah kia tha taake inki ek khuwaish pori ho jaye" Aahil added, smiled lightly.

"Lekin Hania ne bhi bht kuch face kia hai, choti si thi jab baba chale gaye, phir chachu ki death ho gayi aur phir mama bhi chali gayi, meri bhen ka bhi bachpan aur life kahin na kahin spoil hui hai aur ho rahi hai" Junaid desperately expressed his feelings.

"Aj ham dono zinda hain to sirf apne bhen bhaiyon ki wajah se, ek dusre ki wajah se" Aahil said truthfully.

"Aahil, maa to tumhare pass abhi bhi hain" Junaid stated meekly.

"Jojo, please yaar" Aahil said, made a face.

"Aahil, is duniya mein bht kam ache log hote hain aur Saima aunti bht achi hain, unhone aj tak kabhi is baat ka ehsas nahi hone diya ke tum aur Rida inke apne bache nahi ho" Junaid advised him.

"Lekin jo hua is mein meri mama to chali gayi naa" Aahil replied.

"Mein manta hun ke uncle ko aisa nahi karna chaiye tha lekin unhone aj tak kabhi bhi apne bachon mein farq nahi rakha" Junaid added.

"Pata nahi, but meinay aj tak unhe apni mama accept nahi kia" Aahil replied, lowered his glaze.

"Koshish karo, tumhari ek kami to pori hogi" Junaid suggested, smiled.

"Aur han, ab tumhe aur Hania ko ek dusre ko samjhne ki zarorat hai, tum dono ki kahani ek jesi hai, dono ek dusre ko sambhal loge" Junaid advised him.

Aahil nodded lightly just in agreement.

"Abhi mein zinda hun to samjha raha hun, baad mein lecture dene wala koi nahi hoga" Junaid said, trying to lightened the mood.

"Jojo! Kesi batein kar rahe ho, Allah na kare ke tumhe kuch ho" Aahil huffed and scolded him.

"Haqeeqat hai, zindagi ka koi bharosa nahi hota" Junaid added, teased him more.

Aahil rolled his eyes, "Fuzool baatein nahi karo" He commanded.

"Achaa baba, theek hai, abhi ham lunch karne chalte hain" Junaid stated, pouted.

Aahil smiled, they both stood up and rushed out from the room.
