THIRD PERSON'S POV:

"Maizah, I think we should get out of the car here..." Muskan said when they were a few meters away from her home.

"But why?" Arham asked

"Arham try to understand, If Daddy got to know that I come with you that will be a great problem for me" Muskan shared and Arham nodded.

"If it will be problem for you then go, otherwise I don't want to drop you here, it will take at least 10 minutes while walking to your home" Arham said and Maizah made a face while rolling her eyes, but Muskan grabbed her bag to get down from the car

"Muskan, why are our families like this? Thank god they are not imposing tax on us for breathing" Maizah said and Muskan shrugged. Both girls stepped out from the car, and started walking towards the home. Arham was in his car only looking at Muskan who was beating his heart with a different rhythm but he was unable to express his love in front of her due to doubt that she would break the friendship too after knowing about his love.

"Why Anzala is always a step ahead? Why Muskan is unable understand my feelings?" Arham mumbled and rested his head on the back of the car seat.

"This one sided love is always heart breaking..." he mumbled and sighed, but then he realised that he should also go to his home as he was stopped in the middle of road. Arham started drive but after a few seconds of driving he found Maizah and Muskan both standing on the road waving their hand to stop a rickshaw.

"Areee... Hum yaha aap ko lift dene ke liye bilkul tayyar hain to kisi air ki kya zarurat hai?" Two cheap boys tease both the girls from behind and Maizah turns to glare at them.

(We are here to help you, we don't mind to drop you)

"Apne ghar jao or apni maa behno ko lift do, ho sakta hai wo bhi isi tarah kisi sadak par khadi hon" Maizah said while glaring them

(Go to your home and give this favour to your mother and sisters maybe they also need your help)

"Arey waah... Ye to sherni nikli" Maizah glare the boys

(woohh she Is such a tigress)

"Maizah ignore them" Muskan whispered in her ear

"By ignoring them we indirectly promote them, if we slap them for very first time maybe they won't try to do so" Maizah said loudly at the same time

" What happened? Why are you both still here?" Arham asked after rolling the glass window down.

"Muskan is unable to walk due to this so we are waiting for a rickshaw" Maizah informed Arham while pointing towards the Muskan's Broken sandal and Arham opened the car door.

"Come" He mumbled and Muskan shook her head

"We will manage Arham" Muskan said slowly as she was scared because of her father.

"We are also ready to offer them lift but these girls aren't ready" The Ave teaser said to others while giving a high five and Arham came out from the car.

"Maizah go inside the car" saying that Arham took steps towards those boys while rolling his sleeve up and Muskan understood that he was going to beat those boys

"Arham..." Muskan suddenly held his wrist, that was the first time when she touched him, Arham was shocked he turned to see Muskan who was still holding his wrist "Pleaseeee.." She mouthed while shaking her head slowly in a pleading way, her eyes were requesting by looking in his eyes, he glared at the boys and opened the car door for Muskan, ignoring the boys.

"Muskan" He almost whispered in her ear when she was going to hop in the car.

"Hmm" She looked at him who was smiling slowly

"Umm.... Haath chhodne ka irada nahi hai kya?" He whispered , making her embarrassed. Feeling red-faced in front of Arham and Maizah She left his wrist in hurry, but Arham smiled and took a step towards the driving seat but stopped by the voice..

(Will... Will you leave my hand?)

" Bhai car leni padegi car,... Ladkiyan car walo ko zyada bhaaw deti hai..'' One Ave teaser said to the other and Arham loses his patience. Taking very long steps he grabbed the collar of one boy and soon he get a jaw breaking punch, other boy tried to punch Arham but before he could do anything Arham slapped his face

(Bro we should buy a car, girls pay attention to those boys who owns a car)

"Har ladki tumhari tarah wahiyat nahi hoti, apni gandi zubaan zara soch samajh kar chlaya karo" saying that Arham pushed the boy roughly and hopped in the car.

(Not every girl is cheap like you, so think twice before using your shitty tongue to bark out anything odd)

================

"Bye, Take care" Arham said to Maizah when they went to Muskan's home and she nodded while opening the door

"Maizah don't tell daddy that we come with Arham" Maizah nodded on Muskan's order and they both stepped ahead.

"Muskan you again forget your mobile" Arham said and picked her mobile from the back seat. "Thanks." Muskan smacked her forehead and smiled while Arham passed the mobile after coming out from the car.

"No problem" He smiled, both the girls turned to go inside the home and Arham turned to step in the car but his big eyes stopped him.

"Thank god daddy isn't in the lawn otherwise he would see us coming with Arham" Muskan whispered with a relieved breath and Maizah rolled her eyes.

"Why we have to...." Maizah's sentence was cut off in between by a loud call "Muskan" which stopped both the girls to took next step.

"Daddy" Mumbling the same Muskan turned back and found Retired colonel Arsalam Haider was standing there glaring at Arham and Muskan both.

"Assalamualaikum uncle." Maizah said with a hitched breath and got a glare in reply to that greeting..

"Are you coming from college?" Muskan nodded with lower gaze on that loud question of her father

"With him?" Muskan looked at Arham and nodded, somehow she gathered all her courage to say something further.

"Daddy... Actually.. Driver... Driver is on leave so..." Her father didn't let her complete what she was going to say.

"If the driver is on leave it means you will come Back home with the boys?" Arsalan Haider roared in loudest voice leading the way of tears in Muskan's eyes. She felt embarrassed due to her insult in front of Maizah as well as Arham.

"Uncle I j..." Arham started to say but stopped by a sharp glare and a gesture of hand by that angry old man.

"For now go to your room I'll talk to you later" Muskan got the order form her father and both the girls moved inside the house

"Hmm... Who are you and why you..." that was the last and incomplete sentence which both the girls listened while going inside.

Muskan and Maizah both were peeping out from the balcony of room and watching Arham talking to Colonel Arsalan but unfortunately they couldn't listen to their conversation.

"Maizah what will happen now?" Muskan asked with tearfilled eyes.

"Yaar Why our families are such a pakau parties? (irritating one)" Maizah asked with anger and Muskan sighed "My Daddy is a few steps ahead by your Badi Ammi... At least she doesn't say anything if Arham goes to your home" Muskan shared and Maizah rolled her eyes.

"But she glares at me harshly if I talk to Anzala..." Maizah mumbled but Muskan ignored as she was busy noticing Arham and her father.

"Daddy is coming" Muskan mumbled when saw Arham hopping in the car. 

"Maizah today, is my doomsday" Muskan mumbled while closing her eyes tightly at the same time her mobile started ringing that was Arham's call.

"Yeah Arham?" Muskan said in hurry

"Yaar Muskan, how do you tolerate your daddy?" Arham said in a single breath.

"So sorry that he Scolded you, I'm very sorry but...." Muskan was stopped in between by

"Muskaaaaannn... Stop it and listen to me.." Arham said loudly and she stopped in between while trying to control herself to be worried but could not help her situation.

"Your daddy was asking..."

"Muskan bibi.. Bade sahab is calling you both" Both the girls heard a knock on the door and Muskan cut the call, without listening to Arham.

"Maizah today you are also going to die with me" Muskan said and Maizah rolled her eyes.

"It's my daily routine yaar, now I'm used to ignorance and scoldings' ' Mumbling the same Maizah and Muskan made their way downstairs.

"Daddy... You call us.." Muskan uttered with a madly beating heart, and her father nodded while sitting on the chair of the dining table.

"Sit and have lunch" Both the girls were shocked they were expecting scolding but getting an offer for lunch.

"If you face any problem like this, call me without wasting your time" Arsalan Haider said in his angry voice and Muskan nodded without knowing the actual matter.

"Maizah what do you think, what Arham said to daddy?" Muskan mumbled and Maizah shrugged

"We have to ask this to Arham" Maizah whispered back in Muskan's ear.

"No Talking while eating!" both the girls started having their meal after that scolding but holding the same question in their mind

'What Arham has done with Arsalan Haider which changed his mood?'
