Third person p.o.v

"Seems like someone finally decided to visit office today.. didnt they?" Zaara scoffed barging into Ahaana's cabin..

She was already on the verge of go-hay-wire mode,the idiot of a bush which she called her best friend had ditched her today.. when she went to pick up Nushrath..All she said was "chukki I'm not coming today.. meet me after office time" and disappeared from the balcony.. screw that dummer..

Here she is alone after 4 days.. all the pending works on her shoulder stressing her more.. and the last thing she wanted was this icing cake driving her into depression..
"Such a beautiful beginning" she internally smirked..

"You have a problem with that Zaara?" Ahaana Snapped turning to her at once tying her hands across her chest..

"Well hon.. I dont.. Maybe shezaad does" she grinned showing those white teeth that she badly wanted to break..

"He wanted both of you, since your partner is absent today too.. that makes it only you.. run along sweetheart.. If I am you I would be running in no time" Zaara snickered..

"Exactly the point doode.. I am not you.. neither you are me. So get lost for fudge's sake and what do you think I am ? A 5th standard girl? Just because you cling on to every word he says doesnt mean everyone else does too.. not everyone are desperate as you.." Ahaana smirked..

One thing about that girl is no one.. absolutely no one could make her lose her sane self.. her sane self which of course means insanity to others..

"You never know when to shut do you?" Zaara asked her pale face turning a shade of red on Ahaana's comeback
"whatever just informing.. you dont wanna anger shezaad.. the consequences would be deadly.." she fake smiled trudging away while she rolled her eyes..

Soo much for facing thisthing early in the morning, I dont wanna face that thing too.. "she mentally complained..

"Ana.. agree you missed him.." her mind voice piped in as usual corrupting her self..

"Shut up.." she snapped a little bit loud and trudged to Shezaad's room..

"Excuse me sir.."

"Come in Maryam.." his monotone greeted her the moment she stepped into his room..

"So back after 2 days vacation ha?" He snarled sarcastically

Uppsssyy she bit her lips.. though its only two days he gave her permission she was away for four and nush its five considering today..

"I am sorry sir.." she trailed on not looking him in the eyes..

"Well you do know that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.." he said in a know-it-all tone..

She shot him a duh look.. it was newton' s third law the idiot is quoting..

" Manh.. this guy stares professionally" she couldnt help but wonder when Shezaad kept staring at her for her reply

"Staring and professional? What are we having here chukki.. are you for real?" Her mind voice again..

"Shut up.. I am just relating both" she reasoned..

"So?" She asked staring back at him..

"Soo soo.. You've exceeded your holidays so that means.."

"Punishment.." She finished with a sigh..

"Well you are not wrong.." he beamed..

"He is the HRM or school P.T master?" She mumbled to herself..

"Sorry?"

That jerk..
"Nah just remembering what newton's second law is.." she retorted back..

"Well Maryam you are not a 8th student but a intership trainee"

"Exactly bro." she screamed back in excitement.. "Exactly.. I am a b.com Internee apparently not a school girl.."

"Bro?" He widened his eyes.. he tried hard to mask the hurt in his eyes at her sudden outburst..he knew it wasnt intentional but an expression but he started feeling uneasy.. true that his entire being was yearning for the girl who stole his innocent little self but he couldnt deny the fact.. a part deep down found her in the girl in front of his eyes..though he was happy that she is willing to let go of their past grudges and is acting at ease around him.. something in him lit everytime with her sarcasm.. her narcissm her meaningless crap.. he couldnt help wonder how lit his entire life would be with her by his side.. while he also wanted to live.. love and grow old and continue their fairy tale in Jannah with his childhood love..

No one.. absolutely no one would understand the chaos his life was thrown into by these girls who he think would be his better half.. after all he is shezaad Ikam.. the annoying pumpkin shell.. if anyone could have massive control on their emotion it would be no one else but him... he knew whatever the trouble he had to go throught he would be able to endure because not a single soul is burdened beyond its capacity.. he knew he would be gifted with what is the best for him because his unshaken trust was placed on al-fattah. The opener who would open doors he knew not exist.. he may know not but the almighty does..

" A little respect for my post Maryam.. I am your senior official.." he shook his head disbelievingly coming out of his trance elated at her antics

"Let me consider that .. she faked thinking..

"You better..and buddy now about your punishment.." He grinned..

"Buddy?" Ahaana tilted her head to a side looking at him suspiciously..

"Are you bipolar.." she blurted out without thinking..

"Huh??" She could literally see his blue orbs turning white..

"Nah I am hallucinating.." she chuckled..

"I knew it dude.. I knew it.." he chuckled back with a hint of sarcasm..

"Whaaaaatteeevaaaa.." she prolonged.." Now doode shoot whats the deal.."

"What deal doode.."

"Ooh come on doode.. My punishment is obviously some works you need to get done by me but your crappy ego fails to request me.. isnt it?" She Smiled goofily..

"you got me dooode.. I am impressed.." he fake smiled amusedly..
" 4/5 employees like you and Ill be doomed.."

"Naah me alone is sufficient.. now for goodness sake temme what is it.." she wriggled her hands impatiently though she was entirely elated with the ambience.. they were absolutely at ease teasing each other like old friends.. though she couldnt resist the magic the blue orbs made her feel..

"We've got a conference nextweek regarding the latest project.. many reputed companies would be participating. I would like you to represent our company on our behalf what say?" He spoke professionally..

Ahaana couldnt believe her ears.. presentation behalf of R.K industries.. this is a big opportunity. She was beyond glad to do the honour.. a part of her nagging mind started shooting suspicious thoughts on why Shezaad would give her this jackpot while her sensible self was blushing at happiness knowing he still trusted her no matter what...

"Are you for real? I would be damned.. yayy I am on it.." she squeaked back unable to contain her excitement..

"Well I am.. indeed.. any help you can consult me or Ilthumish though he is abroad at the moment..if he isnt so busy you can get his help too?" He winked laughing..

"Whaaat?" She shot back at him confounded..
He looked back at her.. then it dawned on him maybe she doesnt know it yet..

"Where is Nushrath By the way?" He asked.. he was totally amazed that Nushrath was going to be his bhabhi.. though he didnt have much interaction with her she knew she was the best for Itthu and was over the moon that his bestfriend-cum soul bro is being united with his love soo easily.. he mentally prayed his life would take a drastic turn and he would have his girl in his hand too..

"Which girl?" His conscience questioned sarcastically for which he had no answer.. yet found it too hard to dodge..

"Absent. For god knows what reason.." she snapped..

"That makes more sense.." he laughed..

"Yah obviously more than you.." she retorted..

"Whatever makes you speak endlessly Ahaana Maryam Aahil.."

"Whatever makes you a stupid brat Mr shezaad Ikaam Mahnoor.."

One look at each other and the duo broke into a fit of endless laughter .

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

"What now nush.. spill or I am leaving.." I growled..

I was in Nush's room after work sitting on the edge of the bed while she was on the other side,hugging a pillow lost in thought

"Doode.." I prolonged bringing her out of her trance.. "I am tired for bush sake spill what is it or I am leaving.."

She sighed.." chukki.." she fidgeted with her fingers
"Yah yah thats me.. what now?" I wailed impatiently..

"Yesterday dad got a call from Mrs Mahnoor asking my hand for marriage for their eldest son" she completed..

"Soo?" I raised my eyebrow..

"Dad is okay with it so is mum and all that matter in my consent" she stuttered..

"Doode you are not accepting it final.." I said in a stern tone making her eye widen as saucers.. wait what? Does that mean she like him?

"What do you mean chukki?" She questioned confounded..

"Whaat doode? What what do you mean? What about Ilthumish.. I might fight him and tease him but that guy is meant for you.. and there is no way im letting any other goose getting you.. you better think twice before accepting any other idiot-

"Chukki thatidiotisIlthumish" she finished in one go looking anywhere but me..

My words hung in mid air.. the fact sinking in..

"Nush congrats.." I screamed tackling her in a giant bear hug.. "Chukki.. youre squishing me.. stop" she cried..

"Chuck it doi.. Im soo soo soo happy for you..manh manh manh thats soo soo soo coool.. " I chirped in excitement..

"Mrs mahnoor.. shezaad mahnoor.. nushrath absent.. that makes more sense.." I mumbled absent mindedly while nush looked at me like i was an alien on earth..
"so this was what the idiot was talking about.."

"Who Ilthumish?"
"Noo shezaad.."

"You guys are on talking terms now? Chukki you didnt even temme what happened that night he dropped you.. you traitor.." she wailed..

"Chuck it bushy.. now all what matters is the matter at hand.. hey Shezaad and Ilthumish are brothers.. doode thats wow.. they never struck me as brothers.. though they were the best examples of best friends..

"Yep.. they adopted him.. I donot know anything beyond that they treat Ilthumish as their eldest son.. and the lady too was soo sweet according to mum.."

I nodded..

"Ahaana.. what do I do? She looked me in the eye..

"Accept him of course..you do like him dont you?"

"I do.." her cheeks turned a shade of crimson while I bit my cheeks to stop laughing out loud.. this is soo new to me.."
I am scared.. marriage and responsibilities. Do you think i am ready?"

I took nushraths hand in her own and gave her a squeeze.. you are doode you are.. youre one of the most beautiful selflesspeople I've seen in my life.. Ilthumish is a tough nut alright but you are the only possible way to crack open him.. you both are made for each other.." I explained..

She nodded..

"So it is a yes? Yeehaa.." I jumped up in excitement..

"I so soo cant wait bush..your marriage.. damn Im soo gonna eat a damn damn lot.. and yaayy lot of fun and then then.." I winked.."I soo cant wait to spoil your kids in no time.. manh thats gonna be soo soo fun.. I am so gonna be the badass aunt the universe ever had.."

Nush looked at me disbelievingly while I smiled at her goofily.. I know I was acting like a baby.. but who wouldnt when your best friend is being united with her love

"Chukki..." her tone took on a know-it-all tone..

"What about you? You cant stay this way you know.. after-"

"What about me.. its absolutely nothing.. Im happy the way I am.. now its all about you .. you bumbly bush.. doode this calls for a celebration yeeehaaa.." I screamed hugging her back again..

"Sooo.. the weasel in shining armour is coming for his bush in distress haan.." I winked..
