"Arey.. Shifa Suniye To zara.."

(Hey, Shifa listen) It brought a smile on her lips because of that cute way to call. Shifa wanted to say 'Sunaiye to zara' but stay unaffected and turned towards him with an normal facial expression

(Hey, say. I'm listening)

"Ji Deni"

"I am going towards your home, can you come along? I've to buy something from that market... Ammi ne order de diya ab kya karu samajh nahi aa rha" Daniyal said the last part with a hint of frustration.

(Ammi has ordered me and now I'm puzzled)

"Okay, but what you have to buy?" Shifa asked while signing the record register and scratching the back of his neck Daniyal smiled sheepishly. 

"My cousin sister is getting married soon, and you know na... Gifts for her and all the others." Daniyal let out a defeated sigh, resulting, Shifa nod her head. "Ammi has no interest in shopping, she feels tired." He added. Shifa giggles at his frustration but tried to suppress her laugher

"And to save herself she has put this burden on your fragile shoulders. Am I right Deni?" Daniyal glared at the scoffing Shifa who was unaffected by his fake anger. For the very first time,  She was teasing Daniyal and he was tasting his own medicine.

"Ha. Ha. Ha... Very. Funny" Shifa laughed more on his reaction. He was behaving an annoyed brat. Daniyal was glaring at Shifa but he witnessed purity of her soul reflecting on her face. Resulting, He smiled at his own mockery.

"Stop laughing and tell me, will you come along? I honestly don't know how to buy these things... Could you please help me out?" Shifa took a deep breath and think for a moment after stopping to laugh.

"Umm... Deni.. I can help you in choosing but I don't know what things you should gift to your relatives. Usually mummy take these decisions so I'm all zone out." Shifa replied nervously and he nodded with a big grin, like it wasn't a matter of concern.

"Wo sab to main Ammi se puch Lunga.. Aap bas selection me help kr dena, mujhe kya pta ladkiyon ke liye kya lena theek rahega." She nodded and they both hopped in the car.

(I'll ask Ammi about it, you just help me in selecting. I don't have idea about girl's shopping)

Daniyal called his mother and put the phone on the speaker mode so that Shifa could listen the convo.

"Ammi, now you tell me what you exactly want?" The call was received soon and Daniyal questioned his mother.

"Two or three suits for Zunera, and some for her sisters and parents." Daniyal rolled his eyes due to his mother's order and Shifa nodded nervously, like Mrs. Kazmi was ordering her. "Oh yeah... And matching jewellery for girls." Mrs. Kazmi added making Daniyal huffed.

"Ammi, Aese kaam kon deta hai apne bete ko?" Deni complained but Shifa smiled.

(who Gives such work to a son?)

"Isi liye to keh rahi hu aap se, Shadi kar lijiye, phir ye kaam main apni Bahu se karwaya karungi." Shifa smiled at the sweet voice of Mrs. Kazmi, and Daniyal rolled his eyes but he know how to deal with this matter.

(That's why I am saying to you to get married, then I will get this work done by my daughter-in-law.)

"Ammi, aapki wajah se hi to main Shadi nahi kar raha, Aap koi bhi kaam khud nhi karengi sara kaam us bechari par daal dengi, aur main Aesa zulm hote hue nahi dekh sakta" Shifa would bust out laughing if it wasn't Daniyal who gesture her to zipped up the mouth. She was laughing but suppressing her voice which turned her cheeks red and eyes waterie
