"Arre Farhaan...aaj lunch nahin karna" Zakir, Farhaan's colleague came in his cabin with a lunch box in his hands.
"Hmm..bas ye assessment kar lun" Farhaan smiled and got done with his work in ten minutes.
"Waise kya hai aaj lunch me...."
"Pata nahin yaar" Farhaan pushed back his chair a little.....he frowned not seeing his lunch box but then sighed " Mera lunch box shayad Sumi ke paas hai....mai aaj jaldi nikal gaya tha toh Ammi ne use de diya hoga"
"Let me call her" He said dialling her number.
"Haan..mera lunch box de kar jao"
"Acha mai aata hun zara" Zakir excused himself getting a call
After five minutes, there was a knock on the cabin door
"Come in"
And there walked Sameera Qureshi with a pink coloured lunch box hanging on her shoulder.
"Ye toh tumhara lunch box hai" Farhaan frowned at her who lowered her eyes "Wo jaldi jaldi me aapka lunch box table par hi chhoot gaya"
"Aap mera lunch le lein aur mujhe kuch paise de dein..mai canteen me khaa lungi" she said dreaming of burgers and fries.
"Kya hai lunch me Sumi" Farhaan asked with crossed arms
"Lauki ki sabzi " she scrunched her nose.
"Isliye ek dabba ghar par hi chhut gaya nayi" Farhaan raised his brows
"Nahi Bhai...sach me bhool gayi"
"Baitho"
"Huh"
"Baitho aur lunch box kholo"
"Mmai canteen me khaa lungi .. aap ye khaa lein" Sameera pleaded but just a hard glare made her pull one of the chairs.
"Zakir ka lunch bhi hai...hum teenon aaj manage kar lenge" Farhaan said folding his sleeves.
Just then Zakir walked in and Sameera wished him. He reciprocated and sat down.."Toh aaj lunch saath me"
"Mai bol rahin hun Sir ko ki mai canteen me kar lungi" Sameera spoke looking at Farhaan who passed a plate towards her..."Chupchaap khaao..roz roz canteen ka khaana acha nahin hai"
Sameera pouted and started having the food while making faces.
Zakir shook his head "Acha ye lo Paneer"
"Nai nai Sir..aap khaayein" Sameera felt awkward.
Farhaan took the lunchbox from Zakir and served her and this time she didn't oppose..instead muttered "Thoda aur"
After having lunch under Farhaan's strict supervision, Sameera left the cabin and sauntered towards her friend's class.
"Oye aaj late kyun ho gaya" Najma frowned at her who pouted "Farhaan sir ne pakad liya tha". She rubbed her face and then remembered something
"Aur tu pagal..excuse banaate waqt yaad nahin rehta ki wo aur mai ek hi ghar me rehte hain...family member ki tabiyat kharaab hai..aisa hoga toh mere se pehle unhe phone aa jayega" Sameera spat out... her friend sometimes acted too stupid.
"Haan toh dimaag se nikal gaya tha Sher khan ko dekh kar" Najma waved off and started dragging her towards the canteen.
"Arre mera pet bhar gaya...Farhaan bhai ne samne baitha kar lauki khilwaayi"
"Haainn tune lauki khaayi" Najma was shocked
"Hmmm..soch the torture he inflicted on me" Sameera twitched her lips
"Aaj humlog chaat khaane wale the na"
"Kal khaa lenge..abhi pet me jagah nahin hai yaar" Sameera pouted and dragged Nazma to the library.."Pehle chal mujhe kuch books uthane hain..assignment complete karna hai kaise bhi kar ke aaj nahin toh mai agle saal bhi isi college me dikhungi"
------------------
"Sumi chal bahar jaa rahe hain hum..taiyyar ho jaa" Rehaan came in the hall where Sameera was busy filling pages and Farhaan was sipping his evening tea with his mother.
"Haan aati hun" Sameera atonce stood up but seeing Farhaan's glare, again sat down.."Mujhe assignment complete karna hai Bhai"
"Tu kal raat bhi yahi kar rahi thi na" Rehaan frowned
"Wo kal meri aankh lag gayi thi dinner ke baad" she pouted but then remembered the lie she fed to her professor "Sar me dard tha isliye aankh lag gayi "
"Sumi muh chalaane se acha hai tum haath chalaao" Farhaan spoke pointing towards the assignment "Raat me phir kahin aankh na lag jaye Korean dramas dekhte dekhte"
"Aap bhi dekhte hain Bhai" Sameera was surprised "Kaun si favourite hai aapki"
"Tumhara laptop mere kamre me hai aur wo tab tak nahin milega jab tak tumhara assignment mujhe mere desk par nahin dikhta " Farhaan spoke keeping his cup on the table.
"Kisi ki search history check nahin karte bhai " Sameera dropped her pen and accused her elder cousin who seemed to have no guilt.
"Aur mera password wo bhi aapne crack kar liya .. kitna strong tha" she was shocked
Farhaan instead of answering bent a little and caught hold of her phone
"Nai bhai nai..kar rahi hun assignment kar rahi hun" Sameera begged but no heed was paid and the phone found home in Farhaan's pocket. Next he looked at his brother who excused himself "Mai aata hun zara"
"Ammi ise bhi office bhejna shuru karein" Farhaan advised his mother who nodded.
"Tai Ammi Mama Baba aur baaki sab kab tak aayenge"
"Kal aa jayenge " Naziya smiled
"Mujhe bhi phupho ke ghar jaana tha magar mera test aa gaya" Sameera was writing and babbling simultaneously so as to not get bored.
"Kitne aaye Maths me" This time Farhaan asked
"91"
"Hmmm..good"
"Bhai aap na Maths waali Ma'm ko zara samjhaayein...wo saari class me mujhse aapke baare me puchti rehti hain"
"Kya.."
"Haan I think she likes you"
"Shut up"
Sameera pouted but her Tai Ammi was rejoiced "Kaisi hai wo"
"Bahut sundar hai Tai Ammi..Bhai ko bahut compliment karengi"
"Ammi please..spare me " Farhaan made a face and tried to get up.
"Arre ab shaadi ki baat nahin hogi toh kab hogi" Naziya frowned "Tum karoge toh mai Shoib ki shaadi ka sochun"
"Kyun mai engine hun..ki meri shaadi hue bagair uski shaadi nahin ho sakti" Farhaan didn't get these complexities.
"Bhai agar wo pasand nahin hai toh wo English wali Ma'm hain..wo bhi achi hain..I like her"
"Tum apni assignment complete karo" Farhaan glared for the umpteenth time at Sameera who didn't seem to care as her saviour was sitting opposite her.
"Photos hain" Naziya asked her niece who pointed towards Farhaan's pocket.
"Farhaan ke dil me hai?" Naziya smiled
"Nai Tai Ammi mera phone unke pocket me hai..usme pictures hain" Sameera atonce corrected seeing Farhaan approach her with an angry face.
"Sorry bhai sorry bhai..ab kuch nahin bolungi..maaf kar dein.. Tai Ammi bachayein"
"Farhaan kaan chhodo uska" Naziya reprimanded his son who twisted the mischievous girl's ear more..."Aaaahhh..aapko Allah ka waas"
"Huhhh chhod diya" Sameera rubbed her ear getting her ear released even before she could finish.
"Bachchi ka kaan laal kar diya" Naziya frowned
"Aur bakwaas hogi toh dusra bhi laal hoga" Throwing a warning, Farhaan left the hall.
