Ishq

Zohaib POV

Behroz just got to the office.
"Finally Aaj uske exams khatam ho rahe hai" he said as he sat on the swinging round on it like a 2 year old . Well even Noor does it when she comes here . Guess they have something common other than this they both are poles apart.
"Tu uske exams khatam honi ki Khushi kyu mana raha hai" I asked him .
"Are etne dino so baat hi nhi ki hai ajj sukoon se call karunga mai ." He replied smiling.
"Pr Noor toh Ghar hi ayegi tu call pe kyu baat karega " I asked confused.
"Noor ? Mai to Saba kar raha tha stupid" he replied.
"Ohh!" I replied not sure what to say .
Well I know that he likes Saba actually it started at the same time for both of us . But guess what it's him getting married and not me .
"Kal se hum bhi chutti lete hai. Vaise bhi tujhse abb focus nhi ho raha " I said and got back to my work.
"Kal se kyu ? Ajj se hi lee lete hai " he replied closing my laptop.
"Abb as gaya hai toh kuch kam bhi karle " I said.
"Actually mujhe Saba ke liye gift Lena hai chal abhi lene chalte hai " he said getting up immediately.
"Kis baat ka gift " I asked confused.
"Yaar muh dhakai ke liye kuch toh Lena hoga " he replied and we were already in his car .
"Toh kya lena hai " I asked.
"Mai soch raha tha ek naya mobile lelu uske liye " he said.
" Toh leh lete hai " I replied.
"But mobile thoda unromantic nhi lagega ?" He asked me.
Well meri romance ki gadi toh tumhare wajah se aage gayee hi nhi mujhe kya pata kya romantic hai  I thought.
"Toh usski pasand ka kuch lehle" I suggested.
" Noor se puch lete hai? Simple" I suggested again.
"Nhi yaar Bhai yeh baat mere romance ki hai agar usse puchunga toh thoda awkward ho jayega" he said clarifying.
"Toh usse kuch toh pasand hoga" I asked
"Mai jhumke gift karta hu .She is literally obsessed with them " he said
That's a nice idea I always gave books to Noor on her birthday maybe I should give her jhumka this time . She does were jhumke always but does she like jhumka?
"Kya haar ladki ko pasand hote hai jhumke " I asked
"Almost Saba aur Noor toh jab bhi market jati hai naye jhumke liye Bina vapis aati hu nhi hai " he replied
Well Noor likes it so maybe I should get it
"Ek sec ? Tu kyu puch raha hai ?" He asked looking at me suspiciously
Well agar isse bolu ki eski hi behen ko Dene hai toh yeh khush hoga ya galiya dega ? I think it's the later one.
"Esehi " I replied
" Zohaib kya tumhe koi pasand hai ? Ohh ! Kya tum uss ladki se baat karne vale ho finally?" He asked.
Well Behroz knows that I like someone but he doesn't know who it is .
"Nhi toh " I replied ignoring him .
We reached at the market and Behroz decided on a diamond jhumka after looking for one atleast for 2 hours .
Well as soon as he entered the diamond shop my thoughts got back to the things I'm scared of . The difference between my and his lifestyle is clear . When I thought of giving jhumka I didn't think about the diamond one . The reason that I never dared to perceive Noor. She has a cook at her home , a car to pick her up whenever she needs and almost everything that I don't have. Why would he let me marry his sister? My overthinking didn't ended even when we got home .
I'm finnally able to afford a car and thinking of getting it next week .
We directly went to his place cuz everyone has decided to have a detailed discussion of wedding today. We didn't did it before cuz of Noor exams we didn't wanted to distrub her .
"Tujhe Noor ko lene nhi Jana ? " I asked as I looked at the time . Her paper ended up half hour ago.
"Nhi actually mujhe mana Kiya hai Saba se milne esliye she'll get a cab maybe" he replied as we took a seat beside our father.
For the next two hours we decided on the menu and decoration of the wedding.
"Noor ko kuch jyada hi late ho gaya nhi ?" Her mother said concerned looking at the door.
"Mai call karke dekhta hu " Behroz said as he picked up his phone Noor entered.
"Noor kya time hua hai ?Etne late tak baher kyu thi tum ?" Aunty said as she entered living room.
"Sorry Ammi time pe dhyan hi nhi tha " She  apologized
"Kaha thi tum ?" Uncle asked her again.
"Voh paper ke baad Zavi aya tha lene toh bs thoda.. " she 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 " Uncle said patting her head .
"Jii" She replied.
Why was she with Zaviyar? Is there anything that I didn't knew of ? Her family is so okay with them both going out
She came back and sat beside her Ammi .
"Bhuk lagi hai?" Ammi asked her slowly.
"Nhi vo .." before she could say anything her ammi spoke .
"Zaviyar ke saath thi usse pura kangal karke bheja hoga "She replied.
And she laughed out loud .
"Abb etna bhi kuch nhi liya maine" she said.
Why is everyone okay with both of them so much . No matter how nice he is, he is still a man . Well he is still a better choice for her I guess
There conversation continue
"Aap chalengi na mere saath bazar ? Sab ki shopping ho gayee hai" she asked ammi pouting at her .
"Esse pucho gi toh maine aapni zindagi vaar deni hai tum par " Ammi replied smiling.
"Ammi kuch mere liye bhi bacha ke rakna " I said jealous of them .
"Tum toh zindgi ho meri " Ammi replied to me .
"Toh aapne toh Zohaib ko hi de diye Noor ko"Baba said laughing .
I couldn't help but look at her. I don't have any problem with that She looks up but immediately looked down as I was looking at her . She wouldn't stop blabbering all day but at times like this she became a shy person.
"Kuch bhi bolte hai aap toh " Ammi replied as everyone laughed.
I really like this idea of her belonging to me or vice-versa. We had dinner later and I realised the attempt of Noor to not come in front of me.
We went home and I fell asleep while thinking about her
