Precious ~2

You cannot see love with eyes

The sun was drowning in sky yet still manages to give the colour of red to it, birds were returning back to their nest and the soft call of downfall prayer was coming from afar, a black classic Mercedes was hastly roaming in the street of City,

Zaroon decided to go to Sadia's house after office to pick her up

Sadia was offering Namaz when heard the sound of doorbell, her mother was resting, father and brother went to mosque to for Namaz and her sister-in-law was also offering Namaz with her

After she was done with her prayer, she quickly ran to main door, her black dupatta still draped around her head

"Aap?... Assalamualaikum!" Seeing Zaroon on doorway, her face brightened

(You?)

"Agar tum kisi aur ko expect Kar rahi thi toh main Chala jata Hoon." Zaroon was silent for some moments, looking at her as if seeing her for the first time, her bright face between the black dupatta like grey clouds around moon, her diamond nose pin shines, natural pink lips quivering while eyes glint with sparkles, her voice brought him back to present, as he straighten himself and asked

(If you were expecting someone else then I can leave.)

"Maine aisa to nahi kaha." Sadia made a face and mumbled

(When did I said this?)

"Sadia, Kon aya Hai?...." before they could talk more, Sadia's sister-in-law- Nigaar came there

(Who has come?)

"Assalamualaikum, bhabhi..."

"Walekum-Assalam, tum darwaze pe kyu khade ho? Sadia, andar to aney do Zaroon ko." It's when Sadia realize, she was still blocking the way to come in, she quickly left from there and Zaroon came in

(Why are you standing out? Sadia, let him come in.)

"Bhabhi, main chai bana Doon..." Sadia entered the kitchen where Nigaar was

(Can I make tea...)

"Nahi theek Hai, sab kuch waise bhi ho gaya Hai, tum Bahar baitho sabke sath.." Nigaar was frying nuggets and told her

(No, it's fine, everything is already prepared,)

Since morning no matter how much Sadia insisted, no one let her do any single work, if Sadia forcefully take some chores and tried to do it then her brother- Sikandar took the thing away and himself do the work, this was the environment where Sadia grew up, husband and wife helping each other in chores, not burdening the one to do all the work by themselves

All Sadia did here was so with her mother or played with her nephew and nieces

"Zaroon ko mere hath ki chai pasand Hai." Sadia informed her smilingly

(Zaroon liked the tea made by me.)

"Achha, theek Hai, tum chai bana do..."

(Okay, fine, you made the tea.)

When Sadia entered living room with tray in her hands, her brother quickly got up to take the tray from her,

"Tum baitho!" Sikandar told her and left the living room for kitchen to help his wife,

(You sit down.)
