~Teri hi batein hon
Subha si ratein hon

Jab se milaa hai tuu..
Dil ko milaa sakun

Tu hi rah meri,
Tu hi safar hai...

Teri bahon main
Ab mera ghar haai...

"Chayn naa jaa ney, dard naa janey!! dil toh bss, dil ko pehchaney!!!"

Zainab, Zeeshan, Harris and Vania all sang along to the lyrics of their newly discovered favourite song,

"Main chor ayi ghar bar mera
'O' Makhnaa ve, Makhnaa
Ab tu hi hai sansar mera
O Makhna ve, Makhna! "

Butterflies are too gentle, a whole zoo stampeded around Vania's stomach everytime Harris would tilt his head and meet her eyes while he sang to the lyrics.

And though her own lips were moving and a grin she had long surrendered to, was sporting her face, she had her mind far away on Harris and his statement.

There was so much confusion in her head as it constantly found itself at logger heads with her heart.

Her head wanted her to stay guarded, wanted her to keep her yearnings to herself and not give in to her overwhelming emotions. But her heart...

Her heart was so done with keeping it's feelings locked up. All it wanted was to pour itself out to this handsomely confusing person on her side. Wanted to tell him how much she loved him and that she never stopped... That all she had said three years ago was just a big fat lie.

But.... What if he doesn't want her to say it anymore.... What if telling him would make things worse for them, for him, now that he is engaged....

What if she also ends up losing the friend she just got back in hopes of getting the love she lost?

She shivered and sighed.

"Vania?" His voice jolted her out of her head and she turned.

"Hmm?"

"Uthroo.. Ghar aa gaya." he was looking at her with a perplexed frown that made his face look exceptionally cute.

She smiled involuntarily, "Achaa sahi batao? Humara hi ghar hai?" She copied his sarcastic tone again knowing he would get teased.

His face fell and he gave her a dry look, "ho gaya? Kar li cheating? Ab utroo."

She laughed softly and noticed Zainab Zeeshan had already gotten off and were now closing the door.

Harris shook his head and locked the car after she got down and they walked in.

"Assalamualikum, Khala hum aa gaye... Or aap ke liye ice cream laye hain." Vania hugged Maniha who sat watching the television and handed her the cup.

"Thank you jani.. Enjoy kiya?" She asked first returning the hug.

Harris eagerly waited for Vania's reply and his heart soared when she laughed and gave an enthusiastic nod.

"Ji! Bohat maza aya."

He grinned inwardly raising his collars and patting his back.

"Mama! Bohat enjoy kiyaa yaar aap ajatin."

"Maine coffee pi!"

Zeeshan and Zainab told her and she gave a small light hearted chuckle.

Harris who stood silently smiling and watching suddenly got soured when Vania mentioned,

"Humney falling star bhi dekha! Maine or Harris ne!"

Zeeshan and Zainab frowned and Maniha khala looked surprised.
