Affan's POV

"AFFAAN" she yelled and giggled. Her voice hit the mountain and returned in the form of echo. I smiled at her childish act. "Suna?" She said.  I put my finger in my ears. "Bilkul Eeman Malik kia me tmhy behra lagta hon?" "NOOOOO" this time she yelled in my ear. Her eyes sparkled as she laughted.

"You know what ye jaggah itni khoobsort hai k yahi rehne ko dil chahta hai, pataw nahi mujhy ku lekin mujhy lgta hai dobara kabhi me yaha nahi asku gi. Haahh kash hm sb kabhi doabar yaha aye bus ek dafa or" she said looking ahead. There was a faint smile on her face. "Hm zaror ayenge"

We were leaving this place tomorrow and no one was happy. All of us were in love with this charming place.

"Chalen" she asked I nodded. She was wearing coffee black v-sweater with blue jeans, looking smart. "Hello Affan chalen? " Eeman said. "Oh yeah" I said and we started walking back to our camp.

"Are you in love?" Her out of nowhere question made me choked my breath. "Whaaaht?  Wha-t made you think like that" I asked instead. "Most of the time you are zoned out, neither you talk much not participate in any conversation. I know you since childhood and you are a fun person. What's the matter Affan?" She asked seriously looking at me. I looked at her and her eyes were showing concern.

"Sometimes time heals ,sometimes it doesn't heal. Time has the power to change people Eeman" I said looking ahead. "Then tell me what changes time bring in you? " she asked suspiciously. "I....don't know"

"Ohh please yr stop being so mysterious. Tell me, are you still upset with me for what ever happened in past" she asked seriously. I looked at her doubtfully. "I was never upset with you. I never blamed you for that"

She remained quite for sometime. We were near our camp. "You are in love and you don't know how to confessed? Am I right? " she questioned.

I hesitated first and then looked at her face. "Right, like always" I replied smiling. "I love....her but don't know how to confess besides,  I know she doesn't have same feelings" I added. "Who is she?  Do I know her" she asked excitedly. I sighed. 

That's why I'm not telling anyone

"NO" "ohk, is she beautiful?" she asked thoughtfully. "More than you think"  "You should confess before its too late. Confessed where she less expected it" she said smiling. "Sure thing! Now stop talking about this, we are here" I said as we reached near our camp,

She held my hand and placed it on her other hand "I'm always with you Affan, no matter what the situation is, you are my best buddy and" she searched something in my eyes " and no one can take your place" she smiled and i smiled back genuinely.

"Thank you comforting me" I said smiling. "I know you lied about everything but still welcome" she said throwing a smirk, I nervously laughted. "Jo baatain hum kisi se share nhi krte wo hamein ander se  tanha kr deyi han. Don't allow your feelings to control you" she left my hand and went ahead. I followed.

"Mante ho na I'm too hot to handle" Jerry said as he showed me his selfie. "Banda kutta pal le billi pal le pr wahem na palle" Eeman slapped the back of his head and commented. "Ku bai?" Jerry raised his eyebrow. "Ku k wahem ka koi ilaaj nhi" replied Harib. "Exactly" Eeman added laughing and they both hi-fived.

"Tm dono ho hi dash" Jerry said making a face. "Oye vele mundiyon ki chal da peya ae koi fun shun lao" Maryam said she came along with Amna, Hina and Rimsha.

"Can you please explain fun shun in more human way woman" Jerry said making a poker face. "Botta angrezz na bann" Maryam again added in punjabi. Harib chuckled.

"Madam tusi irshad kro kera fun shun krna ay?" Harib said. Wah. "Khota sawari" Rimsha suggested . "O ki honda a" Eeman asked confusedly. "You mean donkey riding? " Amna asked thoughtfully. "Oh achaw you mean harib riding" Jerry said happily. We all laughted at this except harib who shot a dead glared at Jerry.

"Ik ghada kafi nai ho ga tere jesa full size ghada bhi chaida hai" Harib held Jerry's shoulders as he said. "If you guys are talking about horse riding then i can take you there" I said looking at all.

They all looked at me like I was an alien or something. "What? " I asked suspiciously. "Punjabi vich gall kro warna muh na kholo" said Amna. I rolled my eyes at them. "Acha G" I said.

"Hun thek ay, chaliye" said maryam " Qasme I don't understand a word" hina said and wiped her imaginary sweat.

" Why you Guyz are talking in punjabi" I asked. "Just for fun" Amna said " we like speaking punjabi" rimsha said "coz we are lahori" Eeman said. "Or jinny Lore (Lahore) ni veekhya o juriya nai" Harib added.  Wait what?

"Oye kamla hogya hai" Eeman slapped him on head. " hally tiken te nai hoya. Tusi marr marr k kr diyo". "Lahore di bisti na kari veeray (brother)" Amna said to him. "Internet pe prha tha yr or Internet kabi galat nai honda" Harib said innocently. "Bara aya punjabi ka Wikipedia" Jerry said. "It's jinny Lahore nai vekhya o jamya nai not what you said" Rimsha corrected him.

"Guys sorry for disturbing your previous argument we are here for horse riding remember" I remained them. "I will buy tickets for all" harib left.

"Where are Zaeema and Tehreem?" asked Jerry. "They are busy in sir Johnson's work" rimsha replied.

"I don't know how to ride a horse" Hina said looking at five beautiful horses. "Don't worry Daniyal and Ahmer are joining us" Jerry told her.

"I will go with Affan" Eeman said excitedly. By the time, Ahmer and Daniyal came.

Hina joined Daniyal, Maryam joined Jerry and Amna sat with Ahmer. Harib And Rimsha join each other on the ride. "O my God this is so scary" Eeman said as soon she sat with me.

"Don't worry I'm here" I said and held both horse rope. "You know horse riding?" "Yeah, err May be" " hell! I will kill you Affan" "Just kidding yr"

I stretched horse's rope which work like a handle and he started walking slowly. Owner of the horse was walking with us.

"Why he is moving alot"  Eeman said. Her long pony tail was moving up and down with horse movement and hitting my face. "He can't walk without moving, dumbo" I said.

Horse started walking with little speed. "Affan hold me please I'm gonna fall" I hold her from waist. I could see that her eyes were close. I was sitting behind her.

We were just little far from starting point when horse snort loudly and jumped up and down with front legs. Eeman screamed. I stretched his rope tight but that made him more wild. Shit!

Now he was out of control and running in maximum speed, all blindly, with us on his back.

With one hand I was trying to control the horse and with other I was balancing both of us.

And there infront of us, the dead end, ground ended, end of mountain. "STOP HIM AFFAAN" Eeman yelled.

"Jump from him we are going to fall down" I yelled said. "No No are you mad..." I held her from her arms and "I'm not going to ju...Aaaaaah" jumped down.  We both fell hard on the ground. I opened my eyes to see her if she was fine or not. Luckily she was fine as my grip was still on her arms preventing her from hurting.

Her eyes were tight shut. She was hell scared. I could see sweat on her face. Her lips was trembling. " Eemy we are fine" she slowly opened her eyes. I could feel her breath on my face. She looked at me with questioning eyes. "We are fine so is our horse" With the speed of light she got up.

I also got up but a sharp pain shot in my ankle. "Aahuchh". And with that she hugged me. I... was not expecting this so it took me a while to digest it. I placed my one hand on her back try to relax her. "I was so.....scared" she said fearly

She looked at me as tear formed in her eyes. I held her face in my hands "everything is ok don't be scared I'm with you" I said she nodded.

"You...you're hurt" she looked at my hand and ankle. "I'm fine". "No You are not" "I can walk" "langre ho jio ge"

I denied but still she took me to our place with my arm on around her sholder and half weight on her. Everyone was already there probably waiting for us. "Jerry teri ghari time nahi batati?" Harib said irritatedly. "Nahi bhai dekhna parta hai " Jerry replied mischievously. 

"Why you went to wrong direction we....Affan oh my....what happened with you yr" Jerry asked worriedly as they saw us.. He held my arm and made me sit on a bench. " Little bad luck"i said as pain shoot in my ankle.

"Ye kia howa tm dono k sath? " Amna asked worriedly. Eeman told them the accident. "I will bring medicine box" Harib said and left. He shot a unexplainable look towards Eeman which she ignored.

"Are you ok" hina asked and hugged Eeman. She nodded "yeah". "Sure? you are not hurt anywhere" Harib asked worriedly observing her as he came back. She nodded uncertainly and looked at me. Jerry bandaged my left hand with care. I looked at everyone concerned faces.

These people are true definition of friendship

"Thanks to Allah you both are save" Rimsha said. "Stay save guys, I'm going to file a complaint about that accident" Daniyal said.  By the time Tehreem and Zaeema came.

As tamu saw me she frowned and ran towards me. She sat down on her knees "Ye kia howa affan, itni chot ke....kese Lagg gai" she asked looking at my bandage hand and wrenched ankle. She was on the verge of crying.

"Relax tamu everything is fine" I hugged her tight.  She start sobbing.  "Allah! What happened with you both" Zaeema asked looking at Eeman's muddy clothes and me. "Affan and Eeman fall down while riding a horse but thanks to Allah they are fine" Hina said shortly.

Tehreem got up all of sudden. "Are you calling it fine? My brother is injured but your friend is all good yeah you really called it FINE DAMN IT" she yelled. Hina shook her head. "I didn't mean to say that" Amna placed her hand on her shoulder but she jerked it away and walked towards Eeman.

" What did he do wrong with you? Isne kia bigara hai tmhra ku isk pechy pari ho tm" she yelled on her face. "Excuse me! Have you gone insane, mene kia kiya hai" Eeman frowned. "Ohh please cut the drama. You can't fool me. I know your real face" Tehreem said angrily. "Don't test my patients here its not my mistake neither I push him down" Eeman said gritting teeths. "Yes you pushed him" Tehreem cried "you tried to kill him again, don't you" she said bitterly and Eeman eyes went wide with shock. She looked speechless.

Tehreem please no, don't do this here

"Wh-at rubbish! Di-magh kharab hogya hai tmhra k-ia bakwas kr rahi ho" Eeman said angrily. "Tehreem you are upset, we will talk later" Jerry jumped in between them. Other were shocked after hearing her words.

"Stay away from my brother Eeman otherwise you better know what I'm capable of doing. I'm warning you last time" Tehreem pointed her index finger towards Eeman. Her eyes were deep red. "O Shut.up" Eeman shouted and jerked her finger back. "You..."  "That's it! Tehreem we are done talking with you. You should comfort you brother rather than blaming other" Harib said, held Eeman's hand and took her away. Awkward silence. I held my head in my hand

Rimsha's POV

"Leave my hand harib!" she jerk him away. Her eyes were red with anger. God iss larki ka gussa. "Eemy listen please she is tensed. ..." "Don't you dare to take her side harib" she said in rage. "She did say wrong but she was worried plus angry she doesn't meant to hurt you" Jerry said looking at her. She was standing ahead with her arms fold as her back was facing us. " Yeah she was meant to kill me and you are happy with that" Eeman said hatefully. I kept my mouth shut.

"Now You are making it worst Eeman" "I'm making it worst? I'm Jerry? " she asked shocked. "Eemy low down your volume  don't create a scene here" Zaeema said to her. "Fabulous I'm creating a scene" hina sighed heavily. 

"Don't forget her brother saves you" Jerry stated again. She turned around and looked at him indifferently. "So what! I didn't ask him to save me. He can throw me there I didn't mind but if he saves me that doesn't mean her sister is allowed to insult me" she said. "Tmne bhi uski insult kr di hisab barabr" Jerry added. I looked at Zaeema and Hina they were just listening. "Mene? Mene kb uski insult ki hai" she gritted her teeth. Jerry rolled his eyes.

"Eemy forget about whatever happened, chalo hm coffee pity hn" hina finally utter something logical. " you were supposed to take MY side Jerry, not her" She raised her eyebrow furiously. "Me tmhy samjha raha hu ku k tmhra dimgh gusse ki wajah se bilkul kharab hogya hai" Jerry added frimly.

"Then you can stop wasting your time on a mad person. I'm fine alone" she said and walked towards the lake side. Jerry sighed.

"Kisi ka muh timater jesa laal lg raha hai" Harib went after her and started teasing her. "Tm apne kam se kam rkho" "acha batio kaha chot lagi hai" "nahi lagi" batio na "nahi batio gi" "batio gi" "yaha lagi hai" Eemy showed him her elbow. I looked at them, amused.

"If You are thinking that harib is great in handling angry girls than you are right" Zaeema whispered in my ear.  I laughted. Out of nowhere Jerry came, held mine Zaeema and Hina's hand and ran towards Harib and Eeman.

"Aaahhhhhhh" he pushed us all in the lake and we fell in the chill water.

O khair

"Tm logg bht bht bury ho" Eeman yelled shivering. "Tare-ef k-a sh-ukria" Jerry replied shivering too and they started splashing water on each other. At the end they shared a group hug. I smiled at them. They knew how to handle each other.

"Tehreem you were not supposed to say that. Affan k accident me Eeman ki koi galti nahi" Amna said. As i came here, Amna and Maryam were calming down Tehreem. But look like they completely failed.

"Mene kuch galat nahi kaha or na hi me sorry kehne wali hon kisi ko" she said angrily. "Mujhy samjh nahi arha tmhy gussa kis bt pe hai. Tmne akhir ayes kese uspe itna bara ilzam laga diya" Maryam asked her. "Me batati hon" they looked up at me.

"Tmhy kisi purani bt pe ghussa hai, jo aj nikal k bahir aya. Tm kia samjhti ho tm nahi btio gi to hame pataw nahi lagy ga. Stop fooling us tami. You better tell us everything by your own, whatever is your secret. We are your friends.  We can see hate in your eyes for her" i said frimly going near her.

She stood up. "You were supposed to take my side not her" she said looking direct in my eyes. I smiled at this. "Things can't get more worst with you" I said. "You are insulting me Rimsha" she said gritting teeths. " I'm saving you from insult" i said "You can share with us whatever is your matter with Eeman" Amna said folding her arms.

"I ha-ve no issue with her. I just don't like her for what she did earlier with us" Tehreem said looking away. "Seriously! We did bad with you all and you did same with us. Then why you have just issues with Eeman" Jerry entered in our camp. Tehreem looked at him with little surprise. His hair was still wet and messy.

"If you can behave good with all of them then why only Eeman. We have forgotten all of past fights and are enjoying our present events but neither you are coming out of it nor making us forget that" Maryam added. "Look I want you to sort out everything with her and we will restart everything" Jerry came near her, held both of her shoulder and said softly.  She looked in his eyes. She looked convienced for a while.

"Your friend didn't want to sort out things" she said slowly. "Usko me manna longa tm mano jao bus" Jerry said smirking. "Jb mana lo tb bt kren ge" she shook him away.

"Rehne do Jerry ye nahi mane gi. Ye hm me se kisi ko apna dost nahi smjhti warna zaror such bata deti" Amna said narrowing eyes at Tehreem. Tehreem frowned. "Yrr tm log meri bt samjhna chahty hi nahi ho me kia kro" Tehreem sat down with a thud, helplessly. "Aghar Eeman affan ki childhood friend hai to tm use ku nahi janti" Amna yelled this time. I held her arm. "Don't" I whispered. I hate fights.

"Ku k wo uski school fellow thi me or affan ek school me nahi thy. Me yaha ane se pehly kabhi usse nahi milli na meri use koi larai hai. Han mujhy gussa hai uspe boht gussa lekin tm log nahi smjho ge ku k tm logon meri jagah nahi ho. Affan mera bhai hai or mjhy haq hai usko buray logo se bachane ka. Me andhi nahi bann skti. Ab mjh se koi sawal na kare" she said in high voice marched out of the camp.

"She is definitely hidding something" Amna said. " definitely" I added "We should ask from Affan" Maryam suggested. "Tamy is his sister and Eemy is his friend. He won't open his mouth against there will" Amna replied. "You're right! Now atleast this is confirm that there is something in between them. We just have to wait for the right time" Jerry said looking at nowhere. "This joker is right" Maryam said smirking, Jerry raised his eyebrow at her. "Did you just call me a joker?" he asked. "Yes,  you look like one" she nodded smiling. "Why didn't I thrown you down while riding" he asked faking a smile. "Because I can do same" she replied grinning. Me and Amna chuckled.

The bus stopped in front of uni and we girls jumped out like it was our nani's house.

After a adventurous trip, we were back to life.

"Haye pir se wohi routine shuru. " jerry said stretching his arms. While we girls were so impatient to meet Maida.

"Tum log jao hum bags le aen ge" harib said smiling and we happily ran towards our dorms. I had texted Maida about our arrival. Last night she came back from Pakistan. Emmy and tamy were cooled down by now and we forgot about what happened tomorrow.

You know girls ;)

She wasn't there at the main gate unexpectedly.

Chalo koi nai.

We walked straight to Maida's room and Mary  opened the door. Lights were off and she was sleeping.

"Hey wake up girl" I said and switched on the lights. She didn't even moved. We looked at each other for once and then jumped on her bed screaming.

"Wha what ha..ppened?" She sat straight at once and looked here and there. We all hugged her tightly

"Kaisi hai churail?" Amna asked hugging her.

"Oh tum log ho. KB wapis ae ?"

"Abhi abhi koi 10 mint pehle" Amna replied 

"Kaisa raha tumhara Pakistan ka visit" emmy asked. We all sat around her

"Visit? ...a han acha raha.. Acha raha mera visit" she replied in sleepy tone.

"Yar jaag ja  abhi tumhe sare kisse Bhi sunnane hain" tamy shook her shoulder.

"Tumhe pta hai jannat dekhi humne wahan. Aisi aisi places ..... Tum soch nai skti" Zamy elaborated and we all nodded

"Tum log abhi ae ho toh rest kr lo na pir baten kren ge" Maida said smiling a little. We all felt that but nobody said anything.

"Han thek keh rhi hai Bht thak gae hain thora rest kr k tere kan khaen ge. So ja tu Bhi neend kitni Aziz hai is larki ko. " Mary removed the awkwardness and said. We all smiled

2 days  later

We were back to our routine life. Classes had been started so after taking our class we decided to meet at cafe. I was on my way

"Hey rimi suno" I heard Amna's voice. She was coming towards me

"Kia hoa?"

"Maida ko dekha hai?" She asked

"Nai Yar suba se nazar nai ai kal keh rhi thi continues classes hain uski." I replied

"Acha.... Cafe ja rhi ho?"

"Han. Bhook se bura hal ho rha hai" I said and we started walking

"Wo kab nai hota tum logon ka. 3 ghante pehle toh nashta kia tha" she said rolling her eyes.

"Thek hai pir Aj kuch nai khao gi. Dekhte hain kaise rehti ho." I countered back and we kept walking with that nut khut

Maryam's POV:

"Hey Mary which group do you support? " we were coming out of the class when my class fellow Lisa asked.

"Group? You mean blood group?" I asked as I was unaware of uni's current affairs. I heard familiar things in the morning too.

"Ch  group rebels and group R.A.O have fought again and you know that stupid rebels-" "okay okay fine I'm not interested plz" I cut her off in the mid and she shrugged.

"Boring" she murmured but I heard it.

"Thanks for the compliment. Agr mujhe apni doston k pas na Jana hoa toh tera moo tor deti sali" I said the last part in my heart and walked away.

Churail kahin ki .

But it wasn't enough to ruin my mood so nature showed me another face

Ye yahan Bhi agea ?

Yes you are right pals. There he was Officer Burhan sitting at the ground outside the cafe, but not in uniform. His eyes were roaming here and there with a regular interval

I marched there.

"Club Mae nai mili Mae toh yahan Bhi agae" Reaching there, I bombarded him with my golden words although he didn't saw me or just pretended.

"What?" He looked up with clear shock in his eyes

"What what?" I narrowed my eyed tapping my foot on the grass. He looked at my face in confusion for a while then asked the most unexpected question

"Tum India se ai ho?"

"Kyoun? Tumne wahan Bhi mere piche ana hai? Pakistan se hon Mae" I said and sat on the grass in front of him as I was hell tired

Is Mae itni tameez kahan k mere lie khara ho Mae khudi beth jati hon.

"Lagta hai wahan k larkon ne tumhe bht sr pe charaya hoa hai. Tumhe lagta hai mae tumhare khonsale ( nest) jaise balon ka dewana hon? Kahan rehti ho bibi it's 2018 "

"Mere balon pe koi comment nai" I said angrily pointing my finger towards him

"Oh sorry waise I'm not even interested in your mongo shaped face tbh" my eyes got wide listening it

Meri hi ghlti thi is k moo lagi

"Allah kre tumhe bache Bhi mango shaped face wale or curly balon wale hon. " I gritted my teeth and he laughed

"Ye toh ek hi condition Mae possible hai" he said laughing and I realized what I said.

"Yahan kia kr rhe ho?" I changed the topic.

"Ap ko btana zarori hai" I replied as usually. I ignored

"Detective ho kia tum?" I again asked and he AGAIN laughed nodded in NO

Is Mae hasne wali kia bat thi

I got up to leave

"Ye uni Mae larai tumne toh nai krwai?" He asked and I understood the purpose of his visit here

"Han mene hi krwai hai khush?" I turned to leave saying this .

"By the way next time when you'll come to dance floor plz ask me for the company" he smirked and reminded me of the biggest regret I had in my life. I didn't let my eyes meet his and went to cafe before my mind could explode.

Cafe was full of students. I , with much difficultly found them on a table. All girls were there except Maida.

"Hey guys kuch mangwaya hai? Bht bhook lag rhi hai" I said sitting on the chair

"Decide toh kr Len pehle" Zamy added and my face hung down

Do ghante decide krne Mae lagaen ge ab

"Yar plz jldi kro dekho kitna rush hai. Time lag jae ga." Emmy said miserly and took the Lays packet from the table. I took some of chips from her too. Meanwhile my gaze went to the entrance of the cafe. And my heart skipped a beat as burhan was there looking towards and also walking towards our table, smiling. I gulped and tried to act normal.

Ye yahan Kyoun arha hai... Kahin kuch bol na de Amna ko.... Amna toh janti Bhi hai ise.

( p.s: Amna knew him as she was there when burhan came to translate Salar's video in police station)

"What happened Mary ?" Hina asked sensing my discomfort. He was coming closer

"Nai Yar nothing just tiredness " I faked a smile at her. He came right across my chair, and wore a p-cap which he was holding and walked ahead. I sighed in relief. There was a man standing there and they both hugged.

He sideway looked at me and tried to control his laugh. I fisted in anger.

Kamina Jan bhuj k aya tha..... Ullo ka patha.

"Yar suno inhen order kr k room no bta do wahan de aen ge. Mae bht thak gai hon wapis chalte hain" I said at last and they agreed. Amna went to order what they decided and we walked to our dorms.

_________________________________

After taking lunch (well actually it wasn't lunch as the clock was striking 5 pm ) we started chit chat. Maida also joined us and we were in her room means my room ..

"Yar Maryam tumne library Ki books wapis nai kin ?" Amna said looking at my side table.

"Time mile ga toh kr don gi" I replied carelessly

"Han or tab tk itna Sara fine pr chuka ho ga. Kal wapis kr dena"

"Meri marzi Mae jb marzi kron tumhe kia problem hai?" I yelled in anger

"Mary mae- " " tumhe kitni bar kaha hai mere manle Mae tang mat uraya kro. Meri maa mat bna kro " I cut her off and again yelled in anger. The fact was that I did not even know why I was anger. She remained silent.

"Mary Yar kia ho gea hai calm down buddy" tamy tried to relax me. I moved to my bed.

"Mujhe Zara uni office Jana hai kam se Mae ati hon." Amna got up and leave.

"That was too much Mary" said rimsha but I didn't replied. After few seconds of silence they again started chit chat as our fight was a usual routine

Right after half an hour my phone rang. It was Amna

Ab kia chahie ise

Deep down inside my heart I was feeling guilty. I picked up the phone. It was a lady but not Amna

"Is it mariyam ?" Lady asked

"Yes it is" and the next thing she said felt to me like slashing icy water.

"What?" My phone fell down from my hand and I covered my mouth as tears formed in my eyes.

"Kia hoa Maryam kis ka phone tha?"

"Amna ka accident ho gea hai..."
