Ayesha's PoV

"Ayesha, Are you opening the door or should we break it?" Mama shouted for the nth time.

I didn't look back at the locked door instead continued sobbing.

No I wont open.

I am not gonna forgive anyone this time.

Why should everyone do this to me?

"Ayesha, Why are you hurting yourself? You haven't eaten your lunch. Must be tired. I know. Please open the door." Mama again spoke.

Worry for me was evident from her voice. But this time no look back. And I am not gonna fall for anyone's drama. Because they almost killed me this time.

"I don't want anything. Tell me where did you hide my noisy. If anything happens to him, I won't spare anyone."I said boldly.

And I meant it.

After the incident when I shouted against them, Noisy is missing. I am sure that they might have thrown my noisy out without my knowledge. I searched everywhere but couldn't find him. I questioned everyone here. But they didnt tell me anything. They started shouting at me. I dont have strength to fight now. But I will fight this way. Until they give me my Noisy back.

Where did they dump my Noisy?

What if something happened to him?

"Ayesha, princess. Listen to me for once. When Bapu ji returns, we shall do something to find your noisy. He couldn't have gone far away. Nothing will happen to him."I heard Zahra Aapa's voice.

"No...I don't want to hear anything. I don't believe anyone. I know even Mama helped them to threw my Noisy away. And now acting infront of me."I cried.

"Believe me. I didn't. I don't know anything Ayesha."Mama said.

They continued calling me. But I didn't mind. I was really angry.

I know Shahina and her mom must be angry at me. For shouting at them.

But why should they hurt my Noisy for that?

It's me who is their enemy. Not that poor cat.

"Ayesha....Dont be so stubborn. Open the door. Right now."I heard Zain's husky voice from outside.

Where was he till now?

No way. I won't open.

"Ayesha...Are you not hearing me?"he again shouted.

"No. I won't open. I don't wanna see anyone's face."I declared.

"So you don't want to see your Noisy too?"he asked and I was confused.

"Mewwwww" That's when I heard noisy's voice from outside. I was surprised.

Without having a second thought I stood up and rushed towards the door. I opened the door to see Noisy in Zain's hand. My happiness had no limits.

Zain is looking at me. Hanah is standing next to him. I quickly grabbed Noisy from Zain's hand and kissed his smooth head. He started licking my fingers.

He was also missing me.

"Where were you baby? Why did you go away from me? I got scared."I was emotional. I caressed his body with all my love.

"Alhamdulillah (Praising God). I scared seeing this girl's childish behavior."Mama smacked my head.

"Aunty you go. I will manage this"Zain said and mama left along with others.

I looked at Zain with a guilty smile and he returned a serious expression.

"Why did you open the door now? I wanted to break it and give an heroic entry."

"What?"I raised my brows at him.

"Like what. Didn't you see in films? How heroes break the door to save heroine. And the background music plays when their eyes lock...tu tu tu turutu...."

I laughed seeing his expression.

"This is not a film Zain. And I am not your heroine."

"I know your hero is this little naughty creature in your hands. Like how could you raise your voice for this pet when you were almost silent every other time? Even the house was shaking when you were frying your cousins. Literally I enjoyed it."he said with cute actions.

"He is my only companion here. Who will raise voice for him if it's not me?"I kissed noisy once again. I could feel his gaze over me.

"That's true. But you should practice to do this every time you are being insulted. Then no one will question you anymore."

"For what? I have no enemies here. All of them are my cousins. My family."I said without any doubt.

"Ok I quit. You are one rare piece from the last generation of our nation's father."

I widened my eyes hearing him. He laughed.

"Hello...there is nothing big happened here. This is not the first time I am fighting with Shahina. We used to fight almost all days on our childhood. It's just that we pretended to be little mature after we grown up. And everyone misunderstood that we won't fight ever again."

"Oh really?"

"Yes. She blindly loves Hayaan. That's all. And the way she is possessive over her own son, I am too possessive for my noisy."

He gave me a disbelief look.

"By the way I forgot to ask you. From where did you get him?"I asked the most wanted question.

"I have my own ways to question your cousin gang. Not like you. What were you actually doing? Crying and begging. So sad."he smacked my head playfully.

"When I couldn't find him, I was scared and too weak to respond. I lost the strength to fight also. But they are not very bad people actually."

"Ok I agree. Now can you please come with me to have my skipped lunch?"

I narrowed my eyes.
"Didn't you too have your lunch? But why?"I asked in surprise.

"Because my cousin was creating dramas when she couldn't find her pet. So I too didn't eat. I wanted to prove that I can also create good drama. But no one did notice me. I should have also locked myself in the room."he pouted.

I laughed.

"Come let's eat together."I held his hand and walked out.

He didn't say anything.  But followed me like an obedient kid.

Next Morning

Author's PoV

Slowly things came under control. Everyone came back to their normal self and no one paid attention to what happened last day.  All credit goes to their grand father; Wasim Haji. He played a big role in getting things normal between his family members. He strictly ordered everyone to forget the differences among them and continue how they were before. The last thing he wanted to happen in this happy occasion is a fight. And he can't once again see his children drifting away from each other. As a result of all his efforts once again the wedding mood returned back to the house.

Zain, Ayesha, and the cousins gang were chit chatting at the garden.

"What? All of you are planning to wear red on the wedding day. It's too bad. People will think that we are some school students to wear uniform. I am sorry. I am little grown up."Zain complained.

"This is how weddings happen in India. Relatives will wear same color."Sana said.

"Anyway we already selected our dresses. All red."Hiba commented.

"What do you say Hanah? Do you want to join their joker gang?"he asked looking at his sister.

"I would like to. Already ordered a red gown online."Hanah said.

"Ok you all wear red. Zain is always different and unique. I will wear green. Every eyes will be on me."Zain declared making the others sigh.

"Green? Didn't you get another color? Too bad choice."Zahra yelled.

"Then what about pink?"Zain asked.

"It's girlish color. Wear it and hide behind us. Noone will see you." Shahina said.

Imagining Zain in pink, Ayesha bursted into laugh. He glared at her.

"Hello dear princess gang. I am back finally."
They all heard a male voice from the entrance and turned to look at the gate.

Immediately a smile occupied the girls' face seeing the man standing with his hands stretched towards them. He have a charming smile on his lips that can make any girl go crazy for him. He is in his formals. A tall well built figure with an handsome look. Surprise was an understatement for the girls. They stood up with their most beautiful smile.

"Shamz......."the girls screamed at the top of their voice while running towards him. Except Zahra.

Introducing Dulquer Salmaan as Shamz Ashaq.

Zain and Hanah looked at him with wonder without understanding anything.

"Look who is here. The very own bride's younger brother is last to the party. Congratz Idiot." It was Ayesha who first hugged Shamz making Zain surprised.

"My dear first bencher. Literally seeing you the very first time without books. Oh Allah I am blessed."Shamz hugged her back and smacked her head playfully.

"Hey dont start now itself."she warned him.

He pressed his finger on his lips and kept silent. He went on hugging all others and stopped infront of Zahra. She was standing with an angry pouted face.

"Why did you come now? Still days remaining for my wedding. You could have come at the last moment or may be you can just show your face at the reception and go back."Zahra said. She was barely looking at him.

"That was what I too wished. But our mom was not giving me peace. Calling me each hour to ask me book tickets. What to do?"Shamz frowned.

"And this monkey face cousin of mine. She wanted me here. She was scolding me in all languages from the day onwards she left Bangalore."he said looking at Ayesha who is now standing with a pout.

"So you came for them. Not me? Now don't talk to me."Zahra turned back.

The girls giggled seeing the cute brother sister fight.

"Aapa, if you are not interested in talking with me. Fine. I am going back."Shamz told.

"We will break your legs man. Dont think about going back without attending the marriage."Sana said taking the control over his luggage. He chuckled.

"Ok ok then sorry sorry sorry. 1000 times sorry from your beloved brother. Now stop being an angry bird. It's your wedding coming and you should be little shy. Poor my Fawad bhai."he said.

Finally Zahra smiled and they hugged together.

Shamz turned to see the two humans who are completely silent and having no clue about him.

"Hai Londonwalas. I am Shamz. Can you remember me?"Shamz shook hands with both Hanah and Zain.

"Yes I do. Zahra Aapa's younger brother. Isn't it?" Hanah asked.

"Oh what a memory. But anyone can guess after seeing what happened here."Shamz chuckled. Hanah pouted.

"What about you man? Ayesha told about you."Shamz hugged Zain who returned a smile.

Zain remembered how Shamz was always his enemy in the childhood. They fought almost every day and were such a headache to their Bapuji. And also they used to beat the hell out of each other. After he left to London, there were no contacts between the both.

"What are you doing?"Zain asked only for the sake of asking something to the new entry.

"Doing hotel business at Bangalore."Shamz replied.

"Bangalore? Oh I see."Zain turned his attention towards Ayesha hearing the word Banglore. He thought silently. They both belongs to Bangalore. One for studies and the other for his business.

"Dont you want to see Bapuji and Maaji?"Ayesha asked holding Shamz's hand.

"Oh yes. Waiting to hear all his curses. And yes the lectures about responsibility."Shamz walked inside along with Ayesha. The others followed them.

On the middle of the empty garden Zain is now standing alone. He was wondered how the star of the day changed within minutes. It was him, everyone's center of attention from the day he is back from London. He gained it with his talks and also he know ways to make everyone laugh. That's what everyone loved in him. But today it seems like everyone only want Shamz. He cant blame anyone because Shamz was their family.  But he was away for long years. He was not jealous. But something made him disturbed. Especially after seeing his not so talkative cousin getting along with Shamz so easily and hanging on his hand like they were friends from birth. And also she was talking non stop with him. It took her many days to properly talk with him. But with Shamz, she is very comfortable.

He blinked his eyes. And then silently followed them inside. Still in disbelief and wonder.

How was Shamz's entry?

I am a huge fan of Dulquer Salmaan and was looking forward to cast him in one of my stories. And here it is.
