PRESENT

After the wedding ended, everything slowly came back to its place.

Insia's routine also came to normal.
She helped around the house, worked on her paintings for the exhibition and took care of her grandma, occasionally having tea with Wali.

This particular afternoon, Insia was busy painting while the rest of the members were busy at house work. Ameena had gone to a University reunion while Hania had gone out with her friends.

Suddenly, the ding of the phone diverted her attention.
She checked her phone to see a message notification
Unknown: Are you busy?

Insia did nor recognise the number so,

Insia: Kon?

Unknown: Tum ne apne husband ka number bhi save nhe kia?
Surprised, Insia quickly wrote...

Insia: Wali... how did you get my number?

Wali: farishton se.

This made Insia laugh.

Wali: Acha be ready in ten . I'm coming to pick you up.

Insia: Kahan ke liye?

Wali: surprise

Before Insia could protest, Wali got offlined.

Haww, offline ho gya.....

Insia got ready in an orange kameez shalwar.

In exactly ten minutes Wali texted her to come down

In exactly ten minutes Wali texted her to come down.

When she did, her tayi and chachi were sitting in the lounge.

It occurred to her that she would have to ask her tayim She had no idea how to word the fact that she was going somewhere with Wali but when her tayi saw her, she said" ohh beta jaldi jao. Wali ap ka intezaar kar rha hoga. Aur jaldi aane ki koi zaroorat nhe hai . Aaram se aana." while her chachi was absolutely mortified.

Insia wouldnt be able to hold her laugh if she stood there any longer looking at her chachi so she strutted outside where Wali waited for her.

He opened her side of the door and signalled her to get in.

Insia complied and slipped inside

" Hum kahan jaa rhe hn." she asked

" Surprise hai. You'll know."

After an awkward 10 minutes, Wali said," Achi lag rhi ho. orange suit krta hai tumhe."

" Shukriya ap bhi.... mera matlab ache lag rhe hn? she said the last part as if it was a question."

Wali chuckled, " Pooch rhi ho ya bta rhi ho."

" Bta rhi hun . ofcourse." she replied, embarressed of herself.
