And in her smile I see something more beautiful than the stars.

Yasmeen entered inside Mir Mansion only to be engulfed in a bone crushing hug by Meher, Ahmar and Kabir.

"Aapiiiii." They screamed, jumping like monkeys making everyone laugh while Yasmeen pouted hugging all of them.

"Haa. Main toh yaad hi nahi rehta aap sabko." Saahir said, wiping off his tears making them laugh as everyone pulled him in the hug too.

(Yeah. Noone remember me at all.)

"Haniya, jaldi se ab ish khubsurat bala ko bhi set kar do. Padhai toh complete ho gayi hain waise bhi." Arisha said, with a knowing smile as she saw her son, Arshad entering inside the hall with packets of food. Yasmeen shrugged mumbling something as she picked up a slice of pizza which the miser youngsters have ordered especially for her.

(Haniya, set this Beautiful disaster soon. Her studies is already complete.)

"Kise set karane ki baat ho rahi hain Ammi." Arshad said, keeping the bags on the table as he sat beside Yasmeen, pushing her a little by shoulder making her frown as he snatched the pizza she was having.

(About whose setting you are talking about?)

"Obviously its about Yasmeen. Itni sundar hain, pyaari hain. Sabki nazar hain ispe. Toh ab hume lagta hain isse bhi set kar hi dena chahiye." Zubiya said, with a knowing smile making Arshad shift uncomfortably on his seat while the youngsters snickered, totally knowing about his so called hidden feelings for Yasmeen.

(She is so Beautiful. Everyone have their eyes on her. So, we think she should get married now.)

"Chachi, abhi bacchi hain yeh. Akkal toh hain nahi puri ismein. She needs to see the world before marriage." He said, eating the pizza while Yasmeen glared him.

(She is a child. She don't even have sense.She needs to see the world before marriage.)

"Did you by any chance meant that I am a fool." Yasmeen asked, narrowing her eyes at him while pulling the bag he bought with him which contained her favourite pastries,pasta and Coke.

"Not by chance, I simply meant it." Shrugging his shoulders, he said making everyone laugh except for Yasmeen.

"Mami, see how he behave with me." Complained Yasmeen, making a face while pulling out the coke from the bag.

"Arshad." Funnily, Arisha said making everyone laugh while Yasmeen puffed her cheeks getting up from the sofa only for Arshad to hold her wrist.

"Nahi cherta. Ab baith jaao yaar." He said, patting the seat beside him making her smile which she hid quickly and sat down beside him, grumpily.

(I wont tease you. Sit down.)

Arshad frustratingly ran his hands through his hair as he gulped visibly. Shaking his head, he grabbed his T-shirt and hoodie going downstairs towards the garden.

The silvery white moonlight sprinkled everywhere. The night's aroma pervades the air, woven into a soft net, covering all the scenery inside. Everything that comes into contact with his eyes is covered with this soft net. It is not as realistic as it is during the day. They all are vague, illusory colors, each hiding its meticulousness. The twinkling of stars made his heart smile while the flowers in the garden took away his heart but still the peace was missing, the peace he found in that Beautiful hazel orbs of hers, that smile of hers gave him the peace he needed. He was gently caressing the flower as cold drops of dew covered his hands.

"Kaafi bechain lagg rahe hain aap." He heard her shushed voice and turned towards her. The moonlight enhancing her beauty, a peaceful smile on her face while her figure covered in a brown shawl due to the cold around. Few hair strands of hers were kissing her cheeks which she was tucking them behind her ears again and again making him chuckle. Her child like innocence can attract anyone and he was no exception. Even before he knew, his heart started beating for her and he could do nothing, except for gazing at her.

(You are looking very restless.)

Avoiding her gaze, he looked at the moon.

"You know, sometimes we don't know where our peace is and when it is taken away from us, without our knowledge. And about restlessness, then even I don't know why, but I am feeling it." He said, with a small smile gazing at her while she gave him a confused look.

"You won't understand kiddo." He said, running his hands through his hair with a goofy smile on his face looking at her pouting cutely.

"I am not kiddo." She said, poking on the flower making him laugh.

"This itself makes you kiddo." He said winking at her while she diverted her eyes from him with a small smile playing on her lips.

"Can I get a cup of Coffee?"he asked, more like pleaded..

"Main koi aapki mulazima nahi lagi. Khud bana le. Do haathi jaise haath ka istemaal kare." She said, poking on his arms making him glare her.

(I am not your maid. Make yourself. Use your elephant like hands.)

"Phupho se tumhari complain karungi main." He said to which she narrowed her eyes at him.

(I will complain about you to phupho.)

"Kar dein. Main unse darti thore hoon." She said, fanning her hands on her face

(Do it. I am not scared of her.)

"Really!?" He asked, pushing his hands in his pocket with a slight smirk adoring his face making her puff her cheeks as she looked at the other side.

"Kiddo." He said and ran away before she can react.

"He can't leave a chance to irritate me." She said making a face as she went inside the mansion in her room.

"Ammi, May I come in?" Arshad asked, anxiously tapping on the door of the gate.

"Come."Arisha said while Shoaib who was reading the newspaper was kinda surprised due to his son's arrival to their room early in the morning.

"Kya baat hain janaab, subah subah Ammi-Abbu ki yaad aagayi kaam ke alawa." Shoaib teased his son, keeping the newspaper aside while Arshad smiled, a little embarrassed.

(What is the matter..remember Ammi-Abbu in the morning except for the work.)

"Good morning Abbu." Rubbing the back of his neck, he said making Shoaib smile and nod.

"Ammi, you were asking about my marriage. " He said, shifting uncomfortably. His mom had talked about this topic a few days back which he skillfully dodged.

"Hmm." Her mom said, trying to stop the smile spreading on her face while his father kept a straight face.

"I like someone Ammi." He said, crossing his fingers at the back while closing his eyes.

"Like Or love?" His mother asked, making him open his eyes in surprise.

"Huh!?" He said, confused.

"Like Or love?'' Arisha repeated while a playful smile came on her lips. Shoaib too had a small smile adoring his face looking at the flushed face of his son.

"I love Yasmeen Ammi. " He said, voice came our confident yet a nervous smile was on his face seeing the seriousness on his father's face.

"I have already talked to Zaim bhai about this." Shoaib said, after whole 3 minute while Arshad was feeling like his breath had finally returned.

"Abbu." He said, surprised.

"Your Ammi told me about everything. She knew you liked her. Actually not only her, everyone knows this except Yasmeen. You are not too secretive with your eyes." Shoaib said with a light smirk making Arshad turn red.

"I will leave." He said and hurriedly came out of the room and a heartwarming smile came on his lips.

But a new tension arose in his mind as he thought about Yasmeen. He took a deep breathe calming his heart and left from there.
