Ishq

5.

I tried to sleep but couldn't therefore I opened the book I recently purchased Twisted Series . I wanted to read this book from a really long time .I read till the evening.
"Mujhe laga tum soo rahi ho " Aunty said as she entered the room .
"Nhi .neend hi nhi aa rahi thi" I said closing my book .
"Tumne vapis naye books li ?" Aunty said looking at my books while sitting on the bed
"Last week jab hum market gaye the tab li thi maine " I replied
"Behroz ne lene di tumhe aur books ?" She asked looking at the rest of the bookshelf.
"Baba ke saath gayee thi mai to " I replied as I rested my head on her lap .
"To nend kyu nhi aa rahi ?" She asked patting my head.
"Pata nhi " I replied but I thought went to afternoon memories.
"Zohaib ne tumhare liye sandwich laya tha vahi dene aye thi. Tumne dupher se kuch khaya nhi hai ?" aunty replied
"Sandwich? Mai abhi ayye " I got up excited
I almost ran downstairs to the kitchen.
"Kaha hai mera cheese sandwich?" I asked entering the kitchen.
" Kaunsa sandwich?" Bhai asked
"Zohaib hall mai hai " Ammi replied.
I went to find him .
"Kaha hai mera cheese sandwich?" I asked sitting infront of him.
"Pr maine toh sunna tumhai bhukh hi nhi hai " he said teasing me .
"Zohaib " I said stomping my foot .
"Kaise baccho jaise harkte kar rahi ho koi dost hai tumhare jo chilla rahi ho usspe " Bhai said entering the hall .
I looked at him at then at Zohaib. I got up and went to my room and lay down on my bed again.
"Etni jaldi kaise aagayi tum ?" Ammi asked.
"Kuch nhi " I replied and closed my eyes .
Bhai always does this drawing a line it's not like I don't know my limit I'm just comfortable with him since we been together since childhood. But no one get the point. Everyone always used to tell me to treat him with respect, don't call him by his name since he is not of my age . But he never complained about it. If he had a problem he should say it out loud .
"Etne jaldi kha bhi liya sandwich" ammi asked.
I replied by shaking my head .
" Kya ho gaya bachhe " Aunty asked again patting my head .
"Noor ?" Zohaib called knocking on the door .
"Maar gayee Noor " I said loudly.
"Astagfirullah. Kaise baate kar rahi ho tum " Ammi said looking at me .
"Zohaib kya kiya hai tumne " Aunty asked as he entered.
"Maire koi majaal hai mai esse kuch bolu  " he said sitting on the chair .
"Ammi bole inhe chale jaye meri room se . Unke dost ka kamra nhi hai yeh " I said
"Yeh koi tarika hai baat karne ka ?" Ammi replied shouting at me .
"Voh tumhare liye etne door se sandwich leke aaya hai aur tum uss pe chila rahi ho kabse " ammi replied scolding me .
"Aunty vo Behroz ne usse chida diya hai aap tension na leh mai dhekh lunga " He said as she was going out .
"Mai khana laga rahi hu khana ho to bhar aajana " She told me as she went out .
"Maine toh tumhare liye hi laya tha na phir tum kyu gussa kar rahi ho " He said explaining me .
"Mai bhi help karti hu Ayesha ki tum dhekho aab esse " she said to him before leaving too.
"Aap aapne dost ko de aaye ." I replied to him .
"Noor . Maine tumhara liye hi lee aya hu . Utho abb " he softly replied.
"Hoti kaun hu mai aapki ? Kyu laaya aapne ?" I replied annoyed.
"Noor hume kissi definition ki jarurat nhi hai .Tum mere liye kya ho yeh tum jaanti ho . Abb utho aur kha loh " he mumbled.
"Kya hua mai Zoh " I whispered to myself hoping he didn't hear it I stopped calling him that since University. I used to call him zoh till school but then I just stopped cuz it started feeling weird to call him by a nickname.
I don't know. I really want the definition of this relationship. I can't feel this things for him . These days it's hard to get him out of my mind .
I got up and started eating the sandwich without saying anything. He didn't said anything either .
"Zohaib chalo tumhe khana nhi khana ?" Aunty said peeking inside .
"Aya Ammi " he said looking at me.
He sighed and left in a minute. I finished my sandwich and continued reading my book .
I felt asleep while reading.
I woke up pretty late as it was Sunday today.
I got ready

I took extra efforts since today was Baba's retirement and birthday. in evening everyone will come we had a little get together .
Even Saba family will be joining this time . Finally I'll have someone of my age in the party .
I went downstairs everyone was in hall already done with their breakfast.
I went in kitchen in search of something to eat .
"Bhot jaldi neend khuli" Khala said as she saw me searching for something.
"Aaj toh Sunday hai Khala " I replied and sat on the kitchen island.
"Tumhare liye maine special soup banaya hai " she told me as she poured it in a cup .
"Mai bol rahi hu mai koi karele ka soup nhi peene vali " I clarified her already.
"Karele ka nhi hai " she confirmed.
She gave me the cup and I finished it in a minute as I was too hungry.
"Vaise shaam ke liye kuch lana hai kya ?" I asked her if she needed any thing for the dishes.
"Mere khayal se sab hai bs decoration ka  saman khatam ho gaya hai toh balloon vagre lane padege aur cake bhi lana hai " Ammi replied as she entered the kitchen.
"Vo mai Bhai ke saath jake lee aati hu " I replied and got down from the island.
"Vo toh tumhari Phupho ko lane gaya hai. Old Delhi station se aate aate usse bhot late hoga " she replied.
" Toh aab kya karu mai " I asked her.
"Tum ek baar Zaviyar se puch loh vo kab tak ayega " she said.
Zaviyar is Saba's older brother.
"Ha abhi puch ti hu " I replied and tried calling him .
"Ammi unnka message aya hai vo koi kaam mai hai "I replied as I read the message.
"Abb kya kare ?" I asked her again.
"Zohaib se hi puch loh agar voh free hoga to saath jayega tumhare " she said
"Jii " I replied .
As I entered hall I saw baba on phone .
"Happy birthday Baba " I said .
"Thank you " he replied patting my head still on his call .
I went to his house after that.
"Zohaib?" I called as I entered their hall .
"Voh upar hai kya hua ?" Aunty replied.
"Voh bazar se shaam ke liye kuch lana tha aur koi saath hi nhi hai " I said and sat.
"Zohaib" she called him again.
"Aya ammi" he said.
"Shaam ke liye kuch saman Lana hai tum Noor ke saath chale jao " she replied.
My phone rang It was Zavi
"Hello"
"Mai bahar tha kuch kam se esliye call nhi uthaya . Bola kyu call kiya tha"
"Vo bazar se kuch lana tha Bhai baher Gaye hai esliye call kiya tha ."
"Achha mai aata hu .Tum ready ho jao "

"Maine hu na yaha abhi . Phir kyu call kiya usse ?" Zohaib replied as I was still on call.

"Zavi actually abhi Zohaib hai toh mai unke saath chali jaungi"
"Etne dhoop mai bike pe kyu jaa rahi ho aur tum toh bimar bhi thi"
"Mai abhi theek hu tum shaam ko time se aa jana ."
"Thik hai ."

"Mujhe phele usse kyu pucha tumne ?" Zohaib asked
"Ammi ne bola tha " I replied
"Aur phir yaha kyu aaye ho " he asked again
"Ammi ne bola tha " I replied laughing again.
