Ishq

8.

I got up at 6 am . Since my exams are near we decided to study for extra hours . I freshened up and went down for breakfast.
"Ammi kya bana hai ?" I asked as it was too early so the table wasn't set .
"Tumhare liye pohe banaye hai " she replied handling me the dish .
I started eating as I was sitting on the kitchen island.
"Yeh koi bhetne ki jagah hai? Sasural jaogi toh vapis bhej denge vo log " Behroz said as he entered yawning.
"Subha subha bakwas mat kare Bhai " I replied annoyed.
"Kya galat bola maine ?kabhi na kabhi toh karogi na shaadi?" He asked standing beside me .
"Achha hua tumne hi puch liya ? Mujhe toh yeh kuch bolti nhi hai ." She said .
"Subha subha kya topic lee ke bhethe hai aap log ? Mujhe exams pe focus karne de " I said. I kept my plate down .
"Chod rahe hai aap mujhe ya mai chali jau" I replied
"Hum yeh baat ruksati ki baad karenge " he replied and I think he is serious now .

Why don't people get it that I don't want to get married this early. I have a year left later I want to join a job . Why is my career not important for any one ?
He dropped me off to her house .

"Good morning Noor " Saba's mom said as she opened the door.
"Good morning Aunty " I smiled and went to Saba's room .
"Hi " she said looking at me .
"Hii back " I replied and sat on her bed.
"Kaunsa subject lena hai phele" I asked opening my bag ."
" Mujhe phele yeh bata ki kal kya hua ?" She said looking at me.
"Kuch nhi" I replied
"Noor " she said aching her eyebrows.
" Voh ... Actually.. I think.. " I sighed as I couldn't get it out .
" Bolna na " she replied moving me by my shoulder.
"I think I like Zohaib" I said in one breath as I closed my eyes .
"What ?" She screamed.
I didn't said anything neither did she .
"You are scaring me now " I wispered since she didn't said anything in 5 min.
"I'm so confused. Like you used to fight with him the minute you see him " she replied.
"When did you realised this " she asked.
"Pata nhi " I said unsure .
"Toh usse bola ?" She asked .
" I think he likes someone else " I wispered again.
"He said that to you?" She asked
"Nhi " I replied
"Toh ?" She asked
"Kal aunty bol rahi thi unhe ki nikaah karlo.maybe he told her" I replied
" Waise toh ammi bhi Zaviyar Bhai ko bolti hai Noor that's nothing new " she said .
Well that's makes sense but.. I don't know
"Abhi toh padhai pe focus karte hai . We should talk about this after exam " she said
" Saba mai bool rahi hu galti se bhi yeh baat Bhai ko nhi pata chalni chahiye . He will kill me " I said warning her .
"Nhi bataungi " she replied.
We started our studies later. And just days passed hurriedly. And today was our last paper of this semester.
"Finally it's over !!" I said as we got out of our college.
"I'm so tired " she replied.
"And I'm so hungry " I replied
"Me too" She replied.
We saw Zavi in the parking and we both sat in the car .
"Aaj aap kaise aagaye . Aapke boss ne janediya aapko " I asked as we sat .
"Mere toh kal se hi chutti chalu hai. Aur rahi baat aapko lene aane ki toh Behroz ko abb permission nhi hai" he replied laughing.
"Permission matlab?" Saba asked
"Matlab chode mujhe bhook lagi hai " I replied as my hunger got out of control.
"Toh bole kya khayengi aap "he asked
"Umm... Pizza ? Pasta ?" I suggested confused.
"We can take both and share " Saba suggested
"Yess" I replied.
Soon we went to a cafe and ordered food . We were kind off celebrating Saba's last day out since from tomorrow she'll be busy in shopping and all .
We really enjoyed this time together. I just realised that my relationship with her will take a whole new level and maybe there will be something that's we'll miss of our old self . After lunch and a hour long drive Zavi finally dropped me and they both left .
"Noor kya time hua hai ?Etne late tak baher kyu thi tum ?" Ammi said as I entered living room.
Almost everyone was in the house from Baba to Zohaib's baba. It was almost 7 pm .
"Sorry Ammi time pe dhyan hi nhi tha " I apologized
"Kaha thi tum ?" Baba asked
"Voh paper ke baad Zavi aya tha lene toh bs thoda.. " I replied looking at the floor.
"Zaviyar ke saath thi ? Toh koi baat nhi . Hume laga dono ladkiya akeli ghum rahi hai esliye pareshan the bacche " Baba's said patting my head .
"Jii" I replied.
I went back to my room and freshened up and changed into something comfortable.
Everyone was sitting in living room discussion about wedding preparations.
I went and sat beside Ammi .
"Bhuk lagi hai?" Aunty asked
"Nhi vo .." before I could say anything ammi spoke .
"Zaviyar ke saath thi usse pura kangal karke bheja hoga "She replied.
And I laughed out loud at her way .
"Abb etna bhi kuch nhi liya maine" I said.
"Achha yeh batao ki tumhari shopping ka kya hai ? Kyuki Ghar Mai sabki shopping ho gayee hai tumhari chodkar" Ammi asked.
"Kal bazar jate hai" I suggest to her .
"Mujhe bade Kam hai " she replied.
I got up and went next to aunty.
"Aap chalengi na mere saath bazar ? Sab ki shopping ho gayee hai" I asked
"Esse pucho gi toh maine aapni zindagi vaar deni hai tum par " she replied smiling.
"Ammi kuch mere liye bhi bacha ke rakna " Zohaib said in middle.
"Tum toh zindgi ho meri " Aunty replied.
"Toh aapne toh Zohaib ko hi de diye Noor ko"Zohaib Baba's said laughing
But my heart dropped at that idea I looked up at Zohaib staring at me . I looked down back not able to hold his stare .
"Kuch bhi bolte hai aap toh " She replied as everyone laughed.
After all discussion we had our dinner together but I couldn't go infront of him because of many reasons.
I went to sleep early as I was tired from all the early mornings.
