ANZALA's POV

Wearing a blue shirt with white trouser, I stepped out from the bathroom, drying my hair with towel.

" Ready bro? " Arham asked and I nodded, while combined my wet hair and wearing my jacket.

We all were planning for a camp fire night. Luckily Hitler sharma also got agree otherwise he was behaving like a Warden.

" Go to your rooms before 10 of night "

'' Stay in touch with your friends and teachers."

And what not....

But luckily we got the permission for a camp fire night, I was really dancing in my thoughts.That was ninth day in GOA and we had to go back after three days. These nine days and nights were the best time of my enjoyment.

" Anzala I'm going, come soon. " I listened Arham's voice and moved out from the room following him, he was also very happy but he was busy in his mobile more than Goa and beautiful sceneries. But I and Maaz were enjoying out each and every moment.

" Come on ignite this." I said to one of my junior who was arranging the small logs in fireplace and he nodded, he was getting trouble so I decided to help him, and sat besides him on my knees....

" Bro you are useless can't you lit up these small logs. " I made fun of that poor boy.

" It's very cold." One girl said while rubbing her arms and I smirked.

" Really Tanishka? Hot girls also feels cold?" I tease her and she blushed but very next moment she smiled proudly.

" Ohhhoooooooo...... Maizahhhhhh" 

" You are heating up the environment." I listened the voice of hooting and turned my head to saw the reason, who was no one else but Maizah and my jaw dropped down with shock she was looking so..

" Miss Maizah Rizwi... I never knew that you can look so damn hot. " 

I was shocked to listen that, but Maizah was smiling. She wasn't even feeling awkward.

" Maizah..." going to her I held her arm and dragged her to other side.

" Are you mad Mazi? What are you wearing? Don't you know if anyone would get to know about this then forget that you will be alive till the next morning. " I state the truth, wearing that type of clothes were like a taboo.

" Who will inform at home?" She asked smartly and rolled her eyes and I realised that she was correct, our friends wouldn't go to inform our parents about the attire of my chudel (witch).

" But still Maizah, Boys are passing comments on your looks

" I said with disappointment and she grind her teeth

" Who are the dogs? who are barking?" She said while rolling her sleeves upward and taking steps towards the group of boys who was standing near the fireplace but I hold her hand to stop her.

" Rukja meri Jhansi Ki Rani" I said while pulling her back and she stopped.

(stop my queen of Jhansi)

" Anzu! I'll break their teeths!" She said angrily and I smiled.

" If Ammi and chhoti Ammi get to know about this then they will break your teeth. " I said with a grin.

" Who will tell that in home? "She asked with frustration.

" What about me?? I can tell them!" I said mischievously while raising my eye brows. She glared me while crossing her arms on her chest and smirked. 

" You do dare to say that in home, you won't get your little, cute nose on your handsome face, because my punch will break that. " She threatened me and I smiled as I knew that my chudel can do so.

" Okay but only for tonight, no need to wear these type of clothes again. " I instructed but she glared me. 

" Huh... Dude forget that I'll obey you. " She said while patting my cheek and I slapped her, but she slapped me back. Since childhood that was out rule.

Slap for slap, punch for punch!

" Yaar Maizah..." I said while rubbing my cheek because her slap was tight as compare to my feather like slap on her cheek.

" Stop behaving like a fragile girl and tell me how I am looking?" She asked after remove my hand from my cheek. I looked at her and a moment I was amazed that she could look so good and hot.

" Shut up Anzala! She is Maizah. Don't you even think like this." My soul scolded me and I felt guilty, I shifted my gaze to otherside as soon as I could.

" How I'm looking? " She asked again. 

" You are looking horrible, just like my churel (witch)" We both laughed and she slapped my arm " let's go now '' I said while talking steps towards the fireplace but she asked the same question about her looks.

" You are looking.... " I stopped in between and pinched her cheek.

" If there would be any girl except you then I would say that she is looking hot but since you are not worth that soooo... You are looking just okay.. Okay " I said and she rolled her eyes.

" Guys if your discussion is over can we start the game?" Manish. " One of our senior asked and I nodded. 

" So the game will be held in pairs. One girl with one boy." 

" Choose your partners and then we will start the game. " We all nodded looking at each other.

" Mansi, will you team up with me?" I asked to a friend and she nodded with a smile. But after two minutes I looked here there Maizah was standing with that rascal Puneet, I never like that boy, I am also a flirting master but I never thought to look at any girl with dirty gaze, I just like to praise them to make them feel special but Puneet was a big rascal. I was feeling angry on Maizah that why she chose that bastard as her partner. I excused from Mansi and went to her.

" Don't you get anyone else? " I asked in whispered and glared her, she was also uncomfortable with him.

" I asked to Arham but he told me to team up with you, at that time Puneet asked me and I got agreed. " She said meekly.

" Idiot, come with me. " saying that I held her hand, I apologise to Mansi and we both made a team.

" We all sat down in circle, and the game was started actually the game was very simple. There was a small forest on the back side of forest. Two pairs will go inside the forest and they had to find out their mobile phone which our senior will hide somewhere in the forest. The team who would come back door they would be the winner and loser team would get punishment. But that was clear that no one will go in dept of forest, we had to stay a few meters away from the fireplace. So that was safe.

" Anzala- Maizah and Shubham- Neha go. Your time starts now." We both listened and I passed my hand to Maizah she excitedly held that we ran towards the forest together.

" Mazi call on my mobile " I said and she nodded.

Ohh! I forgot to tell that we had to search the mobile with the help of that's ringing voice.

" Anzuuuuuu it's ringing but there isn't any voice..." Maizah said and I nodded while pressing my lips together and thinking about the reason in the mean time the opposite team was doing their best to search their mobile and there ringtone was easily audible for us.

" What's the matter?" Mazi asked me and I smacked my forehead.

" Mazi I forgot to remove that's silent mode." I said and she slapped my arm very hard..

" Ouch! Are you mad?" I shouted.

" You duffer." She scolded me..

" Nehaaaaa... We get it.." Shubham said very happily and I smacked my head, we called our senior who hide my mobile and he gave back my mobile. But Mazi was angry with me.

" Mazi..." We all were sitting around fire she was showing her anger.

" Anzu, don't talk to me. " She said while pointing towards me and I put my arm around her neck.

" Sorry. " I said while pinching her cheek she made a sad face.

" Anzu we lost because of you. " She said with a pout.

" Sorry naaa.. Ab kya kaan pakad lu?" I asked and she smiled

( Should I apologise after holding my ears?)

" Tujhe to murga banaungi main..." She said and I laughed

(I'll punish you)

{A/n: English me murga kese banate hai, mujhe nhi pta😂😂😂}

" They both are busy in themselves... Are you both sure that you are only friends or more than that... I mean.. Ahem" We both stopped talking when listened the voice of two boys who said that one by one.

" Dude... Please don't be so cheap, we are first cousins, well wishers of each other and something more than friends but don't bring this dirty thoughts in between our relationship." I said to those boys.

" What is wrong in this? You both can be good couple, I mean this..." Maizah and I both glared Arham and he stopped in between. I removed my arm from Maizah's shoulder and sat down with some distance.

" Shut up Arham." that was Maizah.

" Bro, What the rubbish are you talking, I will be the most happy person in Maizah's marriage, we can't even think about that. So cheap of you." I burst out on him.

" Here I'm searching a suitable girl for Anzala and you are saying this nonsense." Maizah also said with anger and disappointment

" Okay okay... Now stop it!...." One of my classmate shouted and we both cousins nodded.

" It's time for punishment." Every winner shouted and we losers made faces. After many pairs our turn also came.

" Anzala you have to lift Maizah in your arms." We both laughed first Maizah refused but I smirked.

" Chudellll aaj tu nhi bachegi, Mazi yaar ye to Vikram Betal wala scene ho gya" I lifted her up and she punched my shoulder.

(Witchhh I'll not let you go today. Mazi we are doing like Vikram and Betal.)

THIRD PERSON'S POV,

Anzala lifted Maizah in his arms and she whooped suddenly, she punched his shoulder, and soon she realised that she would be on ground if she would do something like that. In sought of maintaining her balance Maizah wrapped her arms around Anzala's neck.

" Wooohhhh...." 

" Come on Anzala...." 

That was the cheering voice from the others. Anzala was placing back Maizah on her feet but everyone stopped him and said to continue the punishment for two minutes. Anzala and Maizah both refused but in that end they had to do so.

" Maziiii yar you look like thin but actually you are very heavy." Anzala said and Maizah made a pout.

" Anzu please don't let me fall." She said holding his neck more firmly and he nodded.

" Maazi my neck is paining! " Anzala said and Maizah felt bad for him.

" Sorry yaar!" She said with puppy eyes and Anzala smiled on the way of her talking. Both didn't realised when they were peeping inside each others eyes, but that eye contact stay for a single moment.

" Wwwwoohhhh..." 

" Anzalaaaa... You are great buddy.." 

" Maizah Anzala... you both are great.." 

That was the hooting from their friends and they both smiled.

Anzala made her stand on floor and Mazi pulled his cheek as so he did. Both enjoyed very much, not only the campfire night but they both enjoyed on beaches and shopping too.

Both in a single blink of eye the time was passed and they both found themselves sitting in the bus which was going back towards Lucknow. Maizah's condition was again not good so Anzala was their for her, sometimes he was giving her juice, sometime some other things to eat.

That was the time of night, the bus was still moving towards their destination. But most of the pessengers were sleeping.

Maizah and Anzala were on same seat. Maizah was sleeping placing her head on Anzala's shoulder but he was playing pubg, the weather was cool, so he covered Maizah with his jacket but he was still feeling chill.

'Arham, pass me my red bag. "Anzala texted him and he looked at back seat then followed the order of his friend

Anzala drew out a Minky blanket then covered himself with that and Maizah too. Soon he sleeps peacefully placing her head to the seat.

Arham looked at him and smiled.

" Muskan try to understand Anzala is not for you" . He muttered and sat down on his seat while doing something in his mobile.

Next morning

The early risers chirping, morning sun beams peeking through the clouds, birds about their morning rituals, a gentle cool breeze, golden light everywhere, covering natural and man-made creations, full of beauty and magic, The roads shimmered in the shine of the sun. The environment was full of happiness. Maizah and Anzala both were over happy that they were going back to their home.

" Anzu! I'm missing abbu and dada abbu" Maizah said and he nodded both were just a step away from Rizwi Mansion.

They both took long steps and found the big and old door was already open, stepping in the home they found whole family was gathered in the hall to welcome both of them

Dropping their bags in the doorway they both ran towards their elders like small children

" Dada abbuuuuuuu" Maizah said happily and going to hug him but....

-Slapppp-

The slap was so harsh that for a second Maizah felt nothing but an electric shook on her cheek.

" Dada abbu (grandpa), what are yo....." Anzala was asking to Abdul Gafur when he got a tight slap from Aasif (Maizah's father)
