Hazaron lamhein samaite chale,
Teri muskan ko dekhte chale,
Tu ne Iss Dil-e-nadaan par ek arzoo dale,
Aur hum phool se tere baazon mein baras gaye.

The fairly soft wind blowing across the skirts of valley, the grey puffy sky drizzling the heavenly blessing over the earth making it wet with no regret, the dark shades started spreading with grace matching his dark hair and grey orbs as he walked in the omer mansion

"Assalamualikum bhai" The first thing he heard is his brothers voice

"Walaikum Assalam, when did you arrive?" Shahwaiz asked his brother, he didn't know his brother is coming today, he has gone to abroad for a business meeting

"This afternoon" Faeq said with a mischievous smile

"How was your meeting" Shahwaiz asked Scrunching his eyebrows suspecting him

"Good" He replied as they entered the living room, he kissed his mother's head of course not before greeting her

"Fresh hokar jaldi aao beta, maine tumhare pasand ka khana banaya hai " Farhat begum told caressing his face, a smile not leaving her face
(Go freshen up soon, I have made your favorite food)

"Jee ammi " Shahwaiz nodded with a smile
(Ok, mom)

"Yeh galat hai, aapka yeh lachar beta itne dino baad ghar aaya hai, koi meri parwah nahi karta bas bhia ki pasand ke khane bana rahe hai" Faeq said putting a hand on his heart and dramatically wiping a fake tear
(This is wrong, this poor son of yours has come home after so many days but still no one cares for me, just making food of brother's choice)

"Tum sirf 1 weak ke liye bahar gai the aur aap aise keh rahe hai ke aap kayii arse se ghar nahi aaye" Mahreen said entering the hall after greeting shahwaiz
(you went out for only 1 week and you are saying as if you have not come home for a long time)

"Kuch bhi ho magar yeh sahi nahi hai" Faeq huffed
(Whatever but still it's not right!)

"Tumhare pasand ke khane bhi banaya hai" Farhat begum chuckle and said to her drama queen
(I have made your favorite food too)

"You are the best mom" His face immediately lit up and he gave a side hug to his mom

Shahwaiz shook his head with a smile and walked up to his room, now his mood has brighten up, sure it was a hectic day but now it feels like it's gone in a blink, that's the thing he never wanted to loose, family, happiness.

He took a quick shower and changed into a comfortable clothes and walked down to the dining hall, he greeted his father and he replied with a smile as he motioned him to take a seat, now he notice that everyone is smiling broadly, What's the matter? What is going on?

Sure it's something not good

He enjoyed his dinner smoothly with some small talks not bothering to enquire on their weird exchanges mostly of mahreen and faeq's which clearly tells they want to talk. He knew they will surely open up soon

"Kya baath hai" He asked now it's getting too long
(What's the matter)

"Wo baat yeh hai ke bhai......." Faeq stoped and looked at his mother with hopeful eyes
(The thing is that.....)

"Beta, we found a right girl for your marriage" Farhat begum told with a bright smile

"WHAT???" he asked shocked

"Bhai shaadi keh rahe hai, S-H-A-A-D-I...... He freaking spelled, yelling in his ear
(Brothers they are saying about marriage, MARRIAGE....)

"Chup kar, I'm not deaf" Shahwiaz pushed him aside
(Shut up, I'm not deaf)
