*

When Arsalan reached at the karachi airport .
Haroon and Ali was there to receive him. when Ali spotted his big brother he run to him and tackled him in a bear hug Arsalan to hugged his brother when they parted Arsalan saw that Ali is wiping his tears
He smild and said "bas bas ab main aa gaya hoon rona nahi hai"
"Ronaaa kaun roya mai toh nhi roya ...
....aur rowoon bhi kiske liye uske liye wo jisne 12saal tak hume palat kar nhi dekha" replied Ali
"Chhote tumhe pata hai na ki mai bhi wahan tumlogon ke bagair khush nhi tha........har roz ammi ki abbu dadu ki chachu ki chachi ki , tum sab ki pictures dekh kar sota tha" A far away look on his face
"Are waah dono bhai toh mujhe bhool hi gaye hai..........waise Arsalan bhai aap apni umr ke hisaab se abhi bhi jawaan hi dikhte hai" Haroon said and tried to hug him but Arsalan slightly punch him on the shoulder and said "oye tum se sirf teen saal ka hi bada hoon........ aur abhi toh meri shaadi bhi nhi hui " smiling slightly
"Oh oooooo........ bhai toh kisi ke khayalon me kho chuke hai. Koi baat nhi ab kuchh hi der me aapki sapnon ki malika aapke saamne hogi" said ali
Arsalan's ears turns red and said " chup karo badmash.........aur jaldi chalo mujhe jaldi ghar pahuchna hai"
"Haan haan kyon nhi kyon nhi" haroon said

When they reached the haveli they saw that all the family mambers of haveli are on the gate to receive their favourate child......
When Arsalan step out of the car he rum to his grandfather and says salam
But his dadu hugged him and kissed his forehead
Than he goes to his father says salam and her father proudly pats on his shoulder and hugged him....
Than he goes to his chachu and says salam.....
Than to his phuppo who lovingly kissed his forehead.......
But in all the time his eyes search for his life two most important woman the first one is his mother , and the second one in her.
When he goes to his chachi and said salam she hugs him and kissed his forehead and answer his unasked questuion "tumhari anmi naraz hai tumse...."
" koi baat nhi chachi mai ammi ko mana loonge....."
Saying he rushed to his ammi's room where she should be looking him from the window
When he reached there he saw that his mother hi weeping stting on a chair he rushed to her and sits on the floor in his expensive armani suit .
And puts his head on his mothers lap ......her tears started falling on his face feeling this he started to wipe his mother's tears and said
"bas ammi bas mai aa gaya hoon plzz chup ho jaiye"
"Ab mai tumhe apne aap se door nhi jaane doongi" said aafiya beghum
"Nhi ab mai kahin nhi jaoonga aap sab ko chhod ke"
" hum sab ko chhod ke ya meri bahu ko chod ke " aafiya beghum said teasing her son
"AMMI......abhi tak to maine use dekha bhi nhi hai" Arsalan said blushing
"Toh hum yahan kya kar rahe hai chalo jaldi se meri bahu ke paas" said aafiya beghum
Standing up both mother and son goes to the backyard where mehandi function is happening
When he reached there he saw that in the center sitting in a sofa is jannat whose both sides are occupied by the mehandi artist applying mehandi
When jannat saw that there stood his big brother in all his glory lookin like a armani suit model .

She stops her mehandi artist and rushed to his big brother's side
Hugging her little sister and kissing her forehead he says "aaram se ladoo abhi mehandi kharab ho jati"
But when he looked at his sisters eyes they are pooling with tears . Then he hugged his little sis.
Jannat's voice muffled in his suit.
Hiccuping she said to her brother "I missed u bhai ......missed u very much"
"Maine bhi tumlogon ko bahut yaad kiya" wiping his sister's tears he said

Just then maham comes with ali trailing behind him........"badi ammi dekhiye na ali bhai ko kham kha pareshan kar rahe hai" said maham without realising that someone is watching her like memorising her every feature
Arsalan's day dreaming ends when someone hugs him .seeing that this is maham his body stiffened and he awkwardly patted her head. she whinningly said to him "arsalan bhai mai aap se naraz hoon aap humlogon se milne ke liye kyon nhi aaye .......pata hai badi ammi kitna roti thi aapke liye" she said
"Achchha baba sorry ab nhi jaoonga aur tumhare liye yeh chocolates " Arsalan gives her two chocolates
Grinning at Ali she said to Ali "Ali bhai layen mere do chocolates "frowning ali gives her two chocolates
Seeing this Arsalan raised his eyebrow and asked her "yeh kya ho raha hai"
"Are kuchh nhi Arsalan bhai, ali bhai ne mujhse shart lagayi thi ki sab se pehle aap se chocolates kaun leta hai ....." saying this maham walked away from their ali shouting after her "yaar maham ek toh de do plzz yaar ...plzz meri pyari behan....plzzz"
Seeing this aafiya beghum smiles and says to arsalan "yeh ladki toh jaan hai iss ghar ki"
But arsalan's mind was occupied by only one thought that maham still calls him bhai.
