Crazy In Love

Chapter 4

Chaudhry Villa...

It was the Sunday morning,a day when every member of the Chaudhry family is obliged to have breakfast on 9 a.m in the dining hall.That's a sort of a tradition of the family to maintain a connection between the family members, otherwise everyone is busy and they rarely get time to have meals together.

Tariq Chaudhry was occupying the head seat followed by Shaista begum,next to her was Arif Chaudhry and his wife(Afifa begum) and next to them were seated Riaz Chaudhry with his wife (Aqsa begum) and at the very end of the table was Mirha, infront of her was Arham followed by Zain, Ayaan, Rayyan and Naina on the other side.

"Tou aj kis kis ny kya kya bnaya hai?" Tariq Ch asked looking at the table filled with all sort of dishes.

"Taya Abbu, halwa Tayi Ammi ny,Chanay(chickpeas) Ammi ny aur Puriyan Chachi ny, Kheer Naina ny aur Nihari Rayyan Ayaan ly k aaye hain bahar sy!"
Mirha told everything enthusiatically.
(Taya Abbu, Tayi Ammi made Halwa, Ammi made Chanay, Chachi made Puri, Naina made Kheer and Rayyan Ayaan brought Nihari!)

"Tou aap ny kya bnaya hai Mirha bachy?"
Came her Riaz Chachu's question.

"Mai ny Juice!" (I made juice). She said lowly, all her enthusiaism long gone.

Arham chuckled,she frowned looking at him "Arham bhai aap ny kya bnaya hai? Han? Mujh py tou aisy hss rhy hain jesy sb kuch aap ny bnaya ho!" All her energy was back as she was ready to pounce upon him.
(What did you make? Han? You are laughing at me as if you made everything!)

"Mirha! Bara hai wo tum sy, kesy zubaan chl rhi hai tumhari?" Her mother scolded.
(Mirha,he is elder to you, look how you are speaking?)

"Koi baat nhi!" (No worries). Shaista begum spoke in Mirha's favour.

"Nhi(no) bhabi, isy pta hona chahiye k baron sy kesy baat krty hain!"
Her mother replied (She needs to learn how to talk to elders!)

Mirha got up from her chair "I am done, you guys enjoy!"

"Mirha wapis baitho wrna mujh sy bura koi nhi ho ga!" Arham tried to scare her with a serious experssion on his face.
(Mirha Sit back at your place!)

"Aap sy bura koi hai bhi nhi!" ( no one is as bad as you!) She retorted running to her room.

"Arham kya zarurat thi itni ghussa dikhanay ki, ye hospital nhi ghr hai, yahan ka mahool kharab mat karo! ( Arham what was the need for all the anger, this is not your hospital but our home, don't ruin its envoirnment.) His mother scolded.

"Aap log baithein mai bula k aati hun Mirha ko!" (I'll call Mirha back). Aqsa begum got up to go.

"Bhabi Arham ko na daantein, Mirha ko khud ko change krny ki zarurat hai...shadi ki umar ho gai hai uski aur bachpana nhi gya ab tk!"(Bhabi don't scold Arham, Mirha needs to change herself...She is grown up to get married yet she acts childish!)

Arham who was drinking water to overcome his spoilt mood,coughed badly listening about Mirha's marriage.

"Arham bhai,you okay?" Zain rubbed his back.

"I am good."

Everyone sighed in relief...

"I know a family,their son is working as a general physician in US, if you want i can talk to them?" Riaz Ch asked.

Arham leered at his Chachu but his eyes softened as he took in the appearance of the drama queen coming towards the table.

"Mirhaa!"

"Mirhuuu!"

"Mirha Aapiii!"

The voices came from the mouths of her crazy genes clan. She smiled at them excitedly.
