"Haider bhai .. ye sare papers maine ready kar liye hain aap dekh lein" Jannat entered Haider's cabin with a bunch of papers in her hands

"Waah...time se pehle khatma kar liya tumne toh...good" Haider went through the papers with a keen attention

"Ladki .. idhar aao...kya kiya yeh" Haider said encircling a para

"Allah...sorry sorry bhai...mai abhi theek kar de rahi hun" Jannat tried to take the papers when Haider stopped her in a serious tone "Ruko"

He turned to other page scrutinizing it properly..."Yeh yahaan bhi change karo"

"Ji"

"Thoda focus ke sath kaam karo Jannat...aisa kaise chalega....abhi Faiz bhai ke haathon lagta toh"

"Sorry bhai....I assure you it won't happen again" Jannat said lowering her eyes

"Hmm..chalo koi baat nahi..pehle pehle hota hai"

"Hota hai toh danta kyun" Jannat mumbled but then nodded her head agreeing with Haider who smiled at her behaviour.

Just then, a knock was on the door

"Come in"

A boy entered and smiled at Haider "Sir I am done with the slides....I just want some extra

"Jannat...."

"Ji bh...sir" Jannat immediately changed her word seeing Haider's glare. Haider had given her the freedom to address him bhai when no one was present in the room, but infront of other interns, she should be careful.

"Provide him a helping hand with the details"

Jannat nodded and went out with the boy.

-----------------

It was Anabia's last exam and instead of chirping, she was upset. Her Ammi would be revealing her would be husband's name...all these days she tried every funda but couldn't get out even an iota of information about her prospective groom.

"Oye Bia kya muh latkaya hua hai yaar.....kuch nahi hoga....bas pata chalne de ladka kaun hai .. kal tak me hi mamla rafa dafa kar denge " Saad said pulling Anabia's cheek

"Aur nahin toh kya..do thappad lagayenge seedha ho jayega" Adnan slapped in air making Anabia smile a little

"Thappad toh Faiz bhai maarte hain yaar...matlab banda ek hi baar me chaaro khane chit...." Saad said taking out chips from Anabia's packet.

"Le lein pura thoos lein" Anabia pushed the packet in Saad's hands

"Thank you" Saad grabbed the packet without any shame and started eating

--------------

"Anabia....beta baith yahaan" Sabeena called her lovingly

"Ji Ammi bam phodein"

"Dhatt pagal...shaadi hi ho rahi hai koi   jang par nahin bhej rahi tumhe"

"Mujhe aap logon ko chhod kar kahin nahin jaana " Anabia whined hugging Sabeena who caressed her head "Mujhe pata hai tu hamare bina nahin reh sakti isliye toh yeh rishta tere liye aur bhi acha hai"

"Matlab"

"Matlab meri gudiya...tujhe kahin nahin jana padega shaadi ke baad"

"K..kyun"

"Jab yahi ghar tera sasural hoga toh phir kahin jana kyun hoga" Sabeena smiled but Anabia stood up hurriedly "Ammi mai Adnan bhai se shaadi nahin karungi"

"Arre"

"Arre warre kuch nahin...mai nahin kar rahi unse shaadi"

"Usse kaun keh raha hai tujhe shaadi karne"

"Aap aur kaun"

"Wo nahi hai tera hone wala shauhar"

"To to kaun hai" Anabia stuttered dreading the name and as soon as the name echoed in the hall, she was found lying on the floor in an unconscious state

"Arre Bia..kya hua"

Sabeena immediately opened the door making a pile of bodies fall.

"Tumlog yeh kaan lagaye baithe the nikammo........"

"Nai Ammi...just guzar rahe the" Saad mumbled an excuse

"Wo sab baad me .. Bia behosh ho gayi hai.."

"Kya...."

"Bia...." Saad entered with Adnan and others

"Joote la jaldi"

"Joote?"

"Uski badbu se hosh aa jayega"

"Phir toh tu apni jurabein hi le aa..usse sadi hui cheez toh maine aaj tak nahin dekhi.."

"Arre haan.....Haya jaldi ja le kar aa" Adnan without any shame accepted as if he was heaped up with a praise

"Mai nahin laa rahi..." Haya protested "Late late mai hi behosh ho jaungi"

The boys were creating a mayhem with their crazy ideas .. meanwhile Hiba sprinkled some water on Anabia's face

"Mai kahan hun..." Anabia asked Adnan getting up

"Mannat Villa Road no.......

"Chup be" Saad smacked Adnan

"Ammi...." next Anabia started crying seeing Sabeena who brought some juice for her

"Baad me...pehle ye piyo..mai anaar laa rahi hun..bahut kamzor ho gayi ho tum"

"Ammi mujhe unse shaadi nahi karni" Anabia whined but Sabeena had already gone out of the room

"Unse kisse?" Saad asked getting curious

"Aap logon ne bola tha na saath denge....mujhe na karne me"

"Haan haan bilkul " Adnan bobbed his head "Tu bas naam bata"
Moving to the corner of the room, he picked the bat kept there "pehle daraunga aur phir na mana toh lagaunga"

"Aapi kaun hai..jaldi batayein" Haya shook Anabia who just uttered "Faiz bhai"

And next second the bat dropped from Adnan's hand "Faiz bhai". He looked at Saad who was equally shocked

There was a pin drop silence in the room......and finally it was broken by Adnan
"Lagta hai Ammi bula rahi hain"

"Ammi mamu k ghar gayi huyi hain" Haya giggled

"Toh waha se bula rahi hongi...mujhe just dil me ehsaas hua"

"Woh dar ka ehsaas tha bhai" Hiba bit her inner cheek and laughed

"Chup kar......." Adnan was about to leave the room when Saad's melodramatic words halted his steps
"Shaadi ek bahut nek rishta hota hai Bia....ise mazaak na samjho"

"Haan bilkul..." Anabia glared at Adnan who just had a change of heart in seconds

Anabia looked at Hiba and Haya "Aur tumlogon ko bhi yahi lagta hai"

"Nahi hume lagta hai yeh dono dar gaye"

Both of them started laughing

"Please..dar kis baat ka..abhi baat kar ke aate hain hum Faiz bhai se" Adnan pulled Saad who was a bit reluctant and clutched on to Anabia's hands..but was nevertheless dragged out..

"Watch us"

"We will" Haya winked and followed them.

-----------------------------------

Faizan was reading a book when Adnan and Saad knocked on the door with serious faces.

"Bhai kuch baat karni thi"

"Aa jao.."

Both of them sat on the couch opposite to his bed

"Bhai hume  pata chala ki Bia ki shaadi aap se hone ja rahi hai"

"Hmm" Faizan closed the book he was reading  and took off his specs to give his sole attention to the two brothers whose confidence level just went downhill  seeing Faizan's brooding eyes.

"Toh kya kehne aaye ho" He raised  his brows and next second got up scaring the hell out of the two coward specimens.

"Yehi ki.......mubarak ho bhaijaan" Adnan said and hugged Faizan who looked at Saad.."Mere taraf se bhi bhaijaan"

Faizan nodded

"Phir chalte hain bhai...shaadi me milte hain" Adnan said nervously

"Kyun ghar chhod kar ja rahe ho kya" Faizan asked in a light tone

"Hahaha....." Adnan laughed not knowing what to say

"Aap toh balle chalane wale the" Saad snickered

"Wahi balle se hume bel denge Kamine chup reh" Adnan was wearing a smile and at the same time cursing Saad

-----

"Haya chal copy pen le kar aa" Adnan ordered Haya

"Ahaha..yeh dadagiri aapki Faiz bhai ke samne kahaan gayi thi"

"Darta nahin izzat karta hun...bade bhai hain"

"Kya karne wala hai?" Saad asked

"Arre ek letter likh kar Bia ko de dete hain....dekh yeh shaadi honi hi hai..chahe aise chahe waise...par image toh nahin jani chahiye na" Adnaan explained taking the paper from Haya's hand.

"Likhega kya"

"Wo tu mujh par chhod de" Adnan winked

----------------

"Kya kaha Faiz bhai ne" Anabia stood up from bed as soon as she saw Saad and Adnan

"Bia...unhone kahan wo unhe shaadi karni padegi but phir ye bhi kaha ki Biya ko fikra karne ki zarurat nahi hai...mai har wo compromise karunga jisse Biya khush rahe.."

"Unhone sab bata diya aapko" Anabia was shocked

"Hmm haan..wo bahut pareshaan the toh humne unse puchha aur unhone apne mann ki saari baat humse kahi" Saad fake sniffed looking at the other side

"Kitna kuch kar rahe hain wo family ke liye Bia...Faiz bhai great hain ..matlab "

"Lekin mai nahin chahti ki wo compromise karein....zindagi bhar" Anabia whispered in an audible tone

"Wo sab pichla bhul kar tumhare sath ek nayi shuruwat karna chahte hain...bhul jao ki unhone aaj tak kya kiya" Adnan had mugged some dialogues and was giving a great show unaware that his words were being taken in a complete different context by Anabia

"Par mujhe unse khauf aata hai..mai unke sath ek kamre me....."

"Kha thode hi jayenge tumhe Biya..tumhara bhai zinda hai abhi" Saad jumped in to display his machoness

"Jo sher ki dahad sun kar shehar chhod kar hi bhaag jayega" Hiba mocked but it was only audible to Saad who glared at her.

"Aur socho..tumhe ghar chhod kar nahi jaana....abhi agar mana karogi toh Faiz bhai toh  gaye..Haider bhai bhi Jannat aapi ke almost ho gaye hain aur bacha mai ..toh maine toh aag me kood jana hai tujhse shaadi karne se pehle" Adnam hit the right chord making Anabia think for a while

"Mai..mai shaadi nahi karungi"

"Shaadi toh har ladki ko ek na ek din karni hi hoti hai.." Saad started like a mohalle ki aunty

"Mai toh kahunga shaadi tak Faiz bhai ka chehra hi nahi dekho...na unhe dekhogi na ghabrahat hogi"

"Aur shaadi ke baad" Anabia frowned

"Wo tum khud figure out kar lena...." Adnan shrugged

"Mujhe ek normal husband chahiye"

"Mujhe pata hai meri jaan....but unhone kaha hai badalne ki koshish karenge" Saad cupped Anabia's face

"Aur koshish karne waalon ki kabhi haar nahi hoti" Adnan added

"Lekin unka dil kahin aur hai"

"Nahi yaar wahin hai jahan hona chahiye...aaj maine suna..unko hug kiya na pehli baar" Adnan grinned feeling lucky to have been hugged by Faizan.

"Aur ye lo..yeh letter bhi diya hai unhone"

"Kya hai isme" Anabia asked taking the letter

"Wahi sab jo humne kaha...wo ek nayi shuruwat karna chahte hain"

Everybody went out after delivering the letter which was thrown by Anabia on the table "Letter ka audio version toh sun hi liya..ab iska kya kaam"

------------

Anabia recalled all the words Adnan and Saad said to her and finally thought of giving into her Ammi's continuous requests.

The days passed in a blur and Anabia felt like she just changed her status from single to married overnight. Sitting next to Faizan on stage, she was feeling her usual kapkapi when Zain came on stage with Saad

"Aa gaya mera saut..."

------------------------

What do you think Faizan will do once he comes to know about Bia's 'oh so not great' throughts....

Thodi jaldi jaldi me likha hai..galtiyon ko thoda avoid kar dena🙏🙏
