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

Part-31

Yumna's eyes twinkled seeing Hadeed in the cafeteria as she entered the hospital. It was still 21 minutes until her shift started so she moved towards him. She pulled the chair and sat in front of him, smiling as always she did while Hadeed was around. She was obsessed and whipped, totally. Hadeed smiled back.

"I wanted to talk to you." Hadeed said.
"Yesss." She raised her brows.
"I want to do Phd."
"Good. Are you worried?"
"No." She smiled but her smile was a thoughtful one as if she was thinking something important or worried about something.

"Kia pee rahe hain?"
(What are you drinking?)

"Shake." He forwarded it to her to try. She took a sip and returned it back, making faces.

"Badtameez. Shake nahi hai karwi coffee hai."
(Mannerless. This is not a shake, it's sour coffee.)

"Thank you. Mujhay nahi maloom tha." He smiled a little.
(...I didn't know.)

"Hadeed, mama chahti hain meri rukhsati hojaye." She mumbled after some time, playing with her hands, her eyes on her hands. Hadeed looked up and frowned in confusion.
(Hadeed, Mama wants my Rukhsati.)
<Rukhsati means moving in with your husband.>

"Acha? Mujhay toh nahi bataya kisi ne."
(Really? No one told me.)

"Abhi shayad unho ne apki mama se baat nahi ki."
(I guess she hasn't talked to your mother yet.)

"Ok. Koi problem hai?"
(Ok. Is there a problem?)

"Han wo–"
(Yeah—-)

"YUMNA." Hoor angrily said when she saw them sitting together in a cafe.
"Nai aap aaj bata hi den Dr. Hoor apki meri love life se dushmani kia hai? Jab bhi main apni biwi ke sath beth kr yahan kch khane lagta hun apne zuroor ana hota hai. Pehle to aap single theen, ab kia masla hai?" Hadeed commented while Hoor glared at them.

(No you tell me today Dr Hoor why are you an enemy of my love life? Everytime I sit with my wife here to eat something, you have to come. Previously you were single, what's the problem now?)

"Main bht kch bol sakti hun but I am tired."
(I can say a-lot of things but I am tired.)

She took a chair from another table and sat with them, sighing. She looked exhausted.
"You okay?" Yumna asked.
"Hmm." She looked at the sandwich she bought and made a face. She didn't feel like eating. She felt she'd vomit if she ate. All she wanted was to sleep.
"Khana nahi hai kia ye?" Yumna placed a hand on her arm.
(Don't you have to eat this?)

" Yar dil nahi kar raha ab. It's 4 p.m. When will the clock hit 9?" She said and placed her head on the table.
(I don't want to, now...)

"Dr Hoor, if you're feeling too unwell, why don't you take a leave and go home?"

"So your friend thinks that I got married to him to get favours in the hospital? Nahi chahye unka ehsan, Mar nahi jaungi main 9 baje tak." She looked up at him and stood up to leave. She went to work.
(...I don't need his charity. I won't die until 9.)

'He must have seen that I didn't have lunch. Ajeeb musibat hai.' She thought and then ignored it. He hadn't seen CCTV since he got busy with work after she left.
(...Weird problem.)

Arsalan woke up at 10 a.m. due to Meerub continuously  moving around in bed and now trying to wake him up. He smiled at her but she didn't. She was looking irritated.
"Taatu." She cried and sat on top of placed her hand on his face to wake him up. He frowned when he felt her hand burning and stood up. He placed his hand on her cheeks and then forehead. She had a fever. He picked her up since she was crying. He understood she was feeling pain. Kids of her age mostly cried if someone took their toy but she was the kind that would fight and snatch the toy and then laugh at what she did, her sister was the opposite though.
