Ishq

1.

I moved my hand to search my phone to snooze the alarm that's been ringing for a minute now . I got irritated and finally got up and shut it down .My name is Noor Khan.
My age is 21.  I'm currently in my second year of MBA. There are four people in my family .The head of the family Hashim Malik my father and Ayesha Malik my mother . Behroz Malik my brother. My father is an CEO in a  company and my brother is working on a startup with his bestfriend .
I took a bath and got ready with one of my favourite chikankari kurta and palazzo.

It was almost 8 now . I went down to see everyone already seated for breakfast.
"Good Morning Abbu " I said while seating infront of him .
"Good morning bacche " he replied with a smile .
I took a Paratha and served myself a plate .
"Khala kya parathe banaye hai aapne " I said loud enough so my voice would reach kitchen. She is almost a mid age women who works here from almost 5 years now .
My ammi needed to relax a bit because of her illness. It's not that serious but still we decided to be safe and give her a rest . Her bones had got weak . Her age is 48 so that's understandable.
"Toh ajj kab tak vapis aaogi " Ammi asked as she looked at me .
"Ajj jyada lectures nhi hai 12 tak aa jaungi . Kyu apko kuch Kam tha ?" I asked her .
"Nhi bs asehi pucha . Tiffin pack kardu ?" She asked getting up.
" Nhi Ammi . Vapis aaungi tab ghar pe hi kha lungi " I replied.
"Tumhara ho gaya ho toh chale . Mujhe bhi late ho raha hai ." Bhai asked looking at me .
"Aap jaye ajj abbu chod denge . Koi baat nhi" I replied holding my laugh looking at him
"Bakwas band karo aur utho " he said getting up.
My brother got married to my bestfriend Saba . Well abhi ruksati baki hai . But he meets her everyday on my name . Saba is in my college. Actually we are together from school. So he picks her up too on the way to his office.
"Chale ." I laughed while getting up too .
He started his car and I took a seat in back . Well I prefer giving them both their privacy. I took my headphones out of my bag .
"Yaar meri bike kharab hogaye . Mai bhi tere saath aata hu " His so called bestfriend said . His name is Zohaib Malik . He looked at me .
"Tu vapis tiffin bhol gaya " His mother came after him .
"Good morning Aunty" I said giving her my best smile.
"Noor . Good Morning " she replied with her smile too.
He took a seat beside me .
"Vaise mujhe pata nhi tha Zohaib apna tiffin bhi bhol jate hai " I said looking at her .
"Aab kya batao . Esse kuch bhi yaad nhi rehta " she said joining me in teasing him too .
That's what we always do . Well uncle and aunty don't have a daughter so they loved me as their daughter. Since we are neighbour since 20 years . She had seen me from my childhood.They had a daughter after him but she died as a baby because of some health issues. My mother told me that I was born a week after her death and she give me in her hand telling her that I'm her daughter now . That's why I was always close with her .
"Chalo abb late nhi ho raha " Zohaib said ignoring me .
"Aunty goliya le lena breakfast ke baad ki dhyan se " I remembered her again .
"Ha leh lungi " she replied smiling again .
In 10 minutes we reached at Saba's house.
"Good Morning" she said while trying to reach her seatbelt.
In the end Bhai ended up doing it for her .
"Subha subha romance na karen at least piche log hai yeh toh dekhle Bhai " I said teasing both of them .
"Noori tune assignment kar liya hai na " Saba asked looking back and changing the subject.
"Hogaya hai . Kyu tension leh rahi ho etna " I said looking at her .
"Yaar last time yaad hai tune assignment mai kuch mistakes thi . Kitna dhant diya tha unhone sabke samne " she said scared of it . Well she is an introvert. She doesn't like to be part of anything that involves crowd.
"To tumne esse kya expectations rakhi thi " Zohaib said teasing me this time .
"Kuch bhi . Mai one of the topper hu okay ?" I replied angry by his words.
"Sorry baby vapis nhi hoga . Aur iss baar toh pakka nhi hoga " I said back to Saba .
"Kyu kaise likhi hai tune yeh assignment?" She asked suspicious.
"Voh maine actually Raza ki assignment copy karli " I replied to her .
"Kya ? Raza ? Ussne assignment dedi . Ajj tak kiski ko nhi de thi ussne assignment apni " she said shocked by my statement.
"Yeh Raza kaun hai ?" Bhai asked looking at me through mirror.
" Vo professor ka ladka . Meri class mai hai " I replied to him .
"Tujhe kaise dedi usne assignment" she asked again.
" Maine bs pucha aur usne dedi " I replied telling her the truth.
"Dhek , maine phele hi tujhe bola . Din bhar dekhta rehta hai tujhe .Aur last time jab ...
"Saba "I said reminding her of our surroundings.
"Last time kya ?" Zohaib asked directly to me .
"Kuch nhi " I replied looking at her .
We reached the university.
"Thank God baat vahi khatam ho gaye . Tumhe kuch idea hai kisike samne kya bolna hai ." I said to her as we entered the gate .
"Sorry mai bhool gaye " Saba said pouting.
"Mujhe na kabhi kabhi dar lagta hai ki kahi tumhare ruksati baad meri sari secrets tum Bhai ko na bata do " I said raising my doubts.
" Nhi nhi esse kuch nhi hoga . Mai kyu kuch bolungi unsse . Aur Jo tumhari hai vo meri bhi to secrets hai na " she replied promising me .
" Okayy " I said .
Our lecture started at 9 . It went too long when the last bell finnally rang.
"Yaar mujhe bhot bhook lagi hai " I said looking at her .
"Mujhe bhi " she replied.
We took a cab instantly and went home .
It was 12:30 when I reached home .
I was entering when suddenly aunty came .
"Maine ajj tumhari favourite biryani banaye hai " she said almost wispering.
"Sachhi ?" I replied excited.
"Cholo khana khate hai " I said and went to her house .
"Bhetho mai abhi lati hu " she said .
" Nhi aap bhete mai lati hu " I said and went to kitchen.
I almost know the placing at kitchen since I atleast had one lunch with her in a week .
I took the plates and started serving. I took the plates and kept at the dinner table.
"Aap ?" I said looking at Zohaib.
"Mera ghar hai Noor " he asked shrugging his shoulders.
"Pata hai . Pata hai " I said and kept a plate infront of him .
"Mai lati hu dusri bheto tum dono " she said getting up.
" Maine bhola na mai kar lungi aap bheto niche " I said and placing the second one infront of her .
I went back to kitchen to take a plate . I served myself and took the pan too and placed it on the table .
Zohaib keep looking at me weirdly.
"Kya hua " I asked him focused on my food .
"Kuch nhi " he replied and focused on his plate too .
We had our lunch and I cleaned the utensils too .
"Hogaya ?" Zohaib said looking at me .
"Ha " I said as I stood awkwardly infront of him. It's never awkward infront of other but whenever it's just us I couldn't think of anything to say .
"Vo Behroz ke liye bhi tiffin pack kar do " he said looking at me.
"Ji" I replied and packed a tiffin for him .
"Mai kabse phone laga rahi hu . Phone kaha hai tumhara ?" I heard ammi in hall .
Shit . I forgot to tell her .
" Vo ammi mai bhool gaye . I'm sorry" i said pouting at her .
"Mai kabse wait kar rahi hu " Ammi said looking at me.
"Sorry mai sach mai bhool gaye " I said again.
"Ammi . Mai nikalta hu . Khuda Hafiz " he said while going out .
"Ha . Dhere gadi chala na " she replied.
"Zohaib tum akele aye ho mujhe laga Behroz bhi saath hai " Ammi said to him
"Nhi Khala vo meri bike kharab ho gaye thi to mai uski gadi leke aya hu " he explained to her .
I looked at him and realised he again forgot the tiffin.
I went to the kitchen and saw the tiffin there. I picked it up and went after him .
"Suniye " I said as he started the car .
"Kya hua " he said looking at me .
"Aap vapis tiffin bhool gaye " I said handing over the tiffin.
"Suno " he said looking at me.
"Ha"I replied looking at the steering .
"Kuch nhi " he replied and started the car again.
"Allah Hafiz" I said .
"Khuda Hafiz" He replied and left .
I stood there for a minute with a confused feeling.
