Gurya (Doll) / Ehsas e Talluq (Realisation of Relationship)

Part-18

Everyone was invited over for dinner on a Sunday. Ayaan was invited with his family, while Yumna and Hadeed were invited as a family. Shazia Begum, Ahil's mother, also invited Raima's family so everyone would be there.

Hassan, when he came to know Hoor was invited with her family, told Ali that that little girl would be coming and he was happy to know this.

The doorbell rang and Ahil went to open the door. He hugged Ayaan and smiled talking to him about something and then proceeded to hug Arsalan. His smiling eyes met Hoor's afterwards and she mumbled salam while making a face while he nodded and continued talking to Ayaan as he led everyone inside.
Momal was walking holding Hoor's hand while Meerub was sitting on her chachu's neck with her legs on each of his shoulders as Arsalan held her hands in both his hands to protect her from falling.

They met everyone and sat. Ayaan and Ahil went to the dining room while Hoor sat with Wania & aunty. Arsalan and Hassan sat in a corner introducing themselves with Meerub still on Arsalan.
Hoor hugged Aunty tightly, kissing her on cheek while she did the same, and Ahil grimaced at their love. Only if he knew.

"Where's her mama?" Wania forwarded her hand to shake with Momal who didn't hold it.
"Allah ke pas." Momal mumbled. Wania suddenly felt pain for the little girl as her own kids may never feel the love of a dad too. (Allah took her back.)

"Mama ask her to be my friend. I will be a good friend. She is momal, I told you na." Ali whined to his mother.
"Momi Ali se friendship krlo, he wants to be friends. My good girl na?"
Hoor cooed momal and she hesitantly forwarded her hand. Ali held it and squealed in joy. He took her to a side and took his toys out and showed her. After a few minutes of Momal only sitting there, he finally made her play with him.
(Momi, please be friends with Ali...)

"What's with that little one? Apne baba ke upper hi charhi rehti hai?" Wania laughed and asked Hoor about Meerub who was either on Arsalan's lap, or over his shoulders, playing with his hairs or hands.
(What's with that little one? Is she always sitting on her dad?)
"Baba nahi, tatu." Hoor chuckled at the word. (Not dad, uncle.) <Paternal uncle is called Chachu, since she's too young she pronounces as Tatu)

"She's Momal's little sister. Bhabhi died when she was born and isay Arsalan ne hi paala hai. Bas islye tachu bhateeji har jagah sath hoty hain." Wania nodded.
(.... Arsalan raised her. That's why uncle niece are together everywhere)

They kept talking for a few minutes when Wania heard a baby crying. She ran towards her room, excusing herself and picked Mahnoor who was crying continuously. Due to Mahnoor's crying, Umair also woke up. She picked their feeders from the room fridge and put it in their mouths, and both stopped crying. She picked both in her arms, one in each and went to lounge. She smiled at Hoor and placed both in their cots in the lounge while she sat beside them, so they do not cry. Hoor cooed at the twins. Meerub looked towards the feeder and then back at Arsalan.

"Tatu feeder." She pulled his hair and he winced, rolling his eyes.
"Abhi to meri shadi bhi nahi meeru, kia sochengi tmhri chachi unka shohar ganja hai?"
( I am not even married yet Meeru. What will your chachi think her husband is bald?)
<chachi means wife of dad's younger brother >

He whined making everyone in the lounge laugh while Meerub also giggled at everyone's laugh. Arsalan looked here and there and then stood up.

"Hassan main gaari se feeder le kar ata hun." He went towards the car but came back in a few minutes.
(Hassan I am going to bring feeder from the car.)
"What happened?"
Hassan asked, as he looked at Arsalan, who seemed a bit tense.
"Yar, I forgot her bag at home. Feeder nai hai."
Meerub frowned angrily and punched him in his chest. She understood most of what he said.
(Bro....Don't have feeder.)
Hassan chuckled at the angry bird.
