Mehran had a lot of fun at the beach with his sister, brother-in-law, and his best friend, Shadab. Tonight, is Haldi function and now they have come back to the hotel Shadab and Junaid head for the bar for some pre-function drinks while Amreen left to her girl-friends room for some girl bonding. Mehran is too tried he decided to take some rest.

Accidently, he pressed 5th floor instead of 6th floor. The elevator door closed and he leaned back closing his eyes he rested his head against the elevator wall.

'I am coming, babes.' Huma said to Umaira and left the room leaving the door little ajar. Umaira who had been in washroom didn't hear her. For the function Umaira wore an off-white and yellow long Anarkali suit. She stepped out from the bathroom and slipped into a white stiletto. She walked towards her mirror. She tied her hair in a quick high bun.

She spent next few minutes struggling with the knot of her dress. She was against getting knotted deep open back suit but Huma insisted saying You will look sexy, Stupid.

Mehran rubbed his face with his palm, his whole body ached and so he has decided to take at least half an hour nap before heading for the function. He frowned noticing the door of his room open but then he shrugged thinking, perhaps it's the room service. He entered and closed the door. He turned and froze on seeing Umaira standing at the dressing table. He is confused.

Umaira heard the door close, 'Huma, yaar, help me this na.' she said agitated. Mehran looked at the knot she is showing to him, his gaze then fell on her bare back and he gulped.

'Come, idiot, there isn't much time.' she said angrily. Mehran looked around, she is thinking him to be Huma. He walked towards her and stood behind her.

'You suggested this dress, it is so irritating...' Umaira stopped speaking as she gets a whiff of Mehran's cologne mixed with his sweaty smell. Her heart skipped a beat, she turned around and found Mehran standing behind her.

'You?' she said, wide-eyed.

'Sorry...I came into the wrong room.' Mehran apologized. Umaira looked at him suspiciously while he looked away embarrassed.

'Hey, Gorgeous Mr. Richie Rich. You here?' Both Mehran and Umaira looked at the door where Huma stood. Mehran and Umaira looked away embarrassed.

'I mistakenly came to the wrong room.' Mehran said. Umaira simply stood there adjusting her dupatta. Huma eyed them suspiciously before nodding. Mehran apologized again and walked towards the door.

'Huma, please tie this for me.' Umaira asked

'Babes, I don't have time. Mr. Gorgeous please help the damsel in distress...' Huma added to Mehran. Umaira's eyes widened and she shook her head

'No...No...No...'she whispered. But Huma ignored them and went inside the washroom leaving behind Mehran and Umaira alone in the room. Knowing there is no way out, Mehran asked 'May I?'

Umaira looked at him, her heart sinking with the formal tone of his voice. For a split second

she wondered how and when so much formality seeped into their relationship, but then she realized they are no longer in a relationship. She felt sad.

Mehran's hands trembled as he held the Dori of her dress, Umaira felt nervous as well, her heart beat accelerating. Mehran was careful not to touch her skin as he tied her knot, but the tip of his finger slightly brushed her skin. Mehran noticed instant goose bumps on her skin. Umaira closed her eyes but quickly opened her eyes and looked at him.

Looking at their reflection, she had tears in her eyes. How perfect they look together, she thought.

Accidently Mehran tugged on the Dori harshly and Umaira winced.

'Oh My God, I am sorry.' Mehran apologized. Umaira tilted her head little and looked at him, their gaze met. Staring into his eyes, she gave a small nod. They didn't look away, both dazed. Mehran had his palms resting on her shoulders, his eyes staring into hers. Their faces inches apart. Reflexively Mehran's gaze fell on Umaira's plump lips and he couldn't look away. Umaira felt like she will melt under his gaze, hers fixed on his face taking in his handsome features.

'All done?' Mehran and Umaira jumped apart alarmed. Huma smirked. Mehran smiled awkwardly and nodded his head. He glanced at Umaira one last time before taking his leave. Umaira had her head lowered. Huma watched him go.

'You guys had a past, didn't you?' Umaira's head shot up as Huma commented. She looked shocked for few seconds before flatly denying. Huma walked towards her sister and placed her palms on her shoulder.

'You guys still love each other?' Huma asked. It was more of a statement than a question. Umaira had nothing to say, she is speechless.
