SHIFA'S POV:

"Thank you aunty now I'll go from here, with Bilal" I said when the car stopped at the door of Faraz's home which was few meters away from mine.

"No beta, it's mid night, I can't leave you will Bilal. He is not that much mature" Nida aunty said and hopped out fron the car.

"Faraz beta drop Shifa to her home" Aunty said and I looked at both mother and son with shocked face.

"Ji Ammi" He said and nodded. His father also went down from the car and he started driving towards my home, Bilal was on bike, and he was moving with our car. My heart was beating like hell when I felt that Only we two were in the car. But we went to home in some two minutes, I didn't glanced at him and open the door, I was on back seat.

"Ahem" He cleaned his throat and I looked at him after getting out from the car.

"Allah Hafiz" He said and my heart skipped a beat but he was looking at Bilal and Bilal was waving his hand to him, he was still on the bike.

"Aapi at least do salam to Faraz bhai he dropped you here" Bilal delivered his sermon

"shut up" I said in hushed tone and rang the bell in a single minute mummy came to door.

One week passed of that party and I was still thinking about That day..

I picked my mobile and watched his DP

Faraz was changing his profile pic day by day and I was becoming crazy for him by every passing day but I was controlling herself to go towards him. His DP's were making me smile but at the same time I was stopping me to think about him. I never think about any boy, Rohail, Sameer and Yaseen were not only three boys who were behind me, there were many more but no one make me feel like that. No one ever come in my dreams except Faraz.

The messages which Faraz giving with His DP was playing with the strings of my heart.

My cristal heart

"Shifaaaa...."

"Ji mummy" I placed the mobile and closed my books on mummy's call and Scoot to her.

(yeah mummy)

"Ji mumma"

(yeah)

"Beta do some help of your mumma" Mummy said while washing rice and I nodded. That day Rani phuppo and Musa uncle was invited in our home for lunch and dinner both.

"What shall I do mummy?"

"Wash and Cut fruits for Custard, then make salad then Arrange new table wear on dining table." Mummy said and blinked for a couple of seconds

"Mummy itna kaam ek baar me" I said and mumma turned her head to saw me

(mummy that much tasks!!)

"It's not that much work, but if you feel tired then leave the rest of work for me" Mumma said and I nodded with a smile and started washing fruits after placing that in a basket

''Mumma when did you started working? I mean when you lean all these household stuff?" I asked because I like to cook. I was only eighteen but thanks to YouTube I knew many dishing and there were few dishes which I cook better than mummy.

"I like to cook so I started cooking when I was only 16" Mummy said and I smiled.

"Like mother like daughter. My everything is just like you" I said proudly and mummy looked at me suddenly as if I had done the biggest offence of this world.

"Allah na kare tumhari zindagi meri jesi ho. Allah tumhe har khushi de" Mumma said and I suddenly realised why she was saying that.

(May almighty never make your life like mine, may you get every happiness in your life)

"Ohhoo mummy, leave this see this, is this okay or should I cut more fine?" I diverted her mind from the topic and I got success

"It's fine" Mummy said and I nodded.

I completed all three tasks told by mummy and in the time being Rani phuppo and Musa uncle arrived with their children. They both were one and two year elder than me but neither they talk to me nor I feel free with them.

We Arranged lunch on dining table. Musa uncle and Phuppo like that very much. After lunch phuppo said to mummy that she had to do shopping for her daughter and she wanted mummy to join her. After some time mummy, Rani phuppo and her daughter went to the market and her son went out from the home with Hamdan bhai and Bilal.

There were only three people in the home.

Me, Musa uncle and Papa, I was in kitchen washing dishes when

"Shifa betaaaa" that was Musa uncle.

"Ji Musa uncle" I went to the room where he was sitting with papa

"Beta tea, but strong... Not like last time... Puri Chini aur dudh ki dukaan hi daal di thi" Musa uncle said in his humorous way and I smiled while nodding. He was the best uncle one can get, in every aspect.

(last time you had pour whole container of sugar and milk)

Ohh... I forget to tell you about Musa uncle's quality. He was a professor so he talk sooo much loudly as if he was giving lacture sitting in his class, sometimes I covered my ears with my palm to tolerate his loud voice....

Oppss.... I think I discussed Musa uncle more than enough, but he deserves...

Back to topic...

I was making tea for papa and Musa uncle when I listened Musa uncle's loud voice..

"Bhai Sahab Nida baji was telling me that she like Shifa for Faraz" I listened what uncle said to papa and I was shocked, surprised, happy, excited, and what not I was in the pool of mixed emotions. I never had faced any emotion like that. But I didn't heared what papa replied.

"Nida baji asked me to talk to you, she was saying that she will bring Faraz's proposal for Shifa only if you people don't have any problem, it would be insulting for them if they bring proposal and you people reject that" I again listened Musa uncles voice and I was literally jumping in the kitchen with happiness, but suddenly tea started boiling and I realised that what stupidity I was doing. I stopped myself to jump but stopping myself to smile was seems impossible.

"Stop it shifaaaa" I pressed my own cheeks with both palms trying to stop myself to smile and I took three or deep breaths and mask an expressionless face after pouring the tea in cups and marched towards the room.

"Uncle" I entered in the room.

"I don't have any problem but last decision will be Maryam's" Papa said and I passed him the cup and he gestured me to put the cup on table without glancing at me.

His cold behaviour wasn't changed against me, but after reading mummy's diary I stopped working for gain his love.

"Shukar hai is baar chai ki form main saza nahi di" Musa uncle said after sipping his tea and I giggled.

(Thankfully this time you have give punishment in the form of tea)

"No problem uncle I'll try to give you punishment next time" I said with a chuckle and turned to go out from the room.

"What are you planing to do Shifa? And how your studies are going?" uncle asked and I turned to saw him

"My studies are going very well uncle and I'm planing for NEET" I said and he smiled

"Let's see, and what about Bilal, its his board too" Uncle asked and I shrugged my shoulders, Bilal was not serious towards his studies, he was thinking that 70% would be more than enough for him as we had to adopted Arts.

"They both are like Faraz and Ifra. Look at Faraz he started using glasses due to over studies and Ifra never pay attention to studies" Musa uncle said with a chuckle and I smiled before turning back.

"Bhai sahab tell me about your decision after thinking, I'll tell that to Nida Baji, But Faraz is my nephew and I can trust him blindly." I listened Musa Uncle's voice and stopped behind the room to listened papa's reply

"Musa, I don't have any problem. I know Nida and Aazam are very nice as well as Faraz... We know him since childhood, that boy is a gem but as I have said Maryam's decision will be final for Shifa. I'll tell you about that for now she is preparing for exams" Papa said and ran to my room.

"Allah..." closing the door I jumped with joy and looked into the mirror my face was showing dark pink shade and I was feeling blood running in my cheeks and ears.

"Faraz, Dr. Faraz" I sat down on bed and throw myself on bed, I was watching the ceiling as if that was a stary night scene but his face was beating my heart.

I was feeling on the ninth Cloud no.. No... not on ninth cloud but 90th cloud, I never thought in my life that I would think about any boy, I never thought that someone could made me this type crazy. I picked my Mobile and saw his profile pic this time he was showing his handsome face in DP a smile creeped to my face when I saw his face.

That was a pic of some hill station in which he was sitting with his friends but he was the most handsome one among them.

"Mr. Handsome, your Ammi is going to ask my proposal for you" I said to his pic and I saved his pic.

I suddenly listened a loud scream and my smiled dropped suddenly..

Don't worry, papa didn't screamed...

That was my own mind..

"Shifaaa what are you doing? You have to stay away from boys, you can't think about any boy. Don't play with your life. You will suffer again" My soul said loudly and for a minute my breath hitched in my chest

"But.." I said and placed the mobile down

"But Faraz is a nice guy" my heart said and I smiled.

"Shifa no one has tag on his forehead that he is good or not!" I listened my brains voice but my heart wasn't agree to believe .

"I don't know is he good or not but now I can think about him." I said to my heart happily and smiled ignoring the voice of my brain.

"Mr. Faraz when will your mother come to asked for my proposal?" I asked to his photo as if he is giving me answer

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

THIRD PERSON'S POV :

"Rose"

"Aatish"

"Rose Where were you? I was waiting for you" Aatish said while holding her from her wrist with both hands.

"Aatish.. What are you doing?" Rose whispered while glaring him before looking here there if someone watching them or not, because they were in the parking area of a restaurant.

"I'm trying to do romance with my wife" Planting a quick kiss on her cheek he said and she blushed.

"Shall we" Extending his hands Aatish asked and His rose held his hand, he passed a rose to her and she blushed in red shade deeper than the rose red color.

After lunch they both were roaming around the market, Aatish placed his arm around her shoulder and she smiled.

"Aatish cotton candy"

"Why not?" He said and take a cotton candy for Rose which she started having while walking still in same condition.

"Hmm" She offered the candyfloss to Aatish which he eat with a smile.

"Besharmi ki haad hai" They both listened a voice and turned to saw the owner of voice. They felt someone pour the chilled water on them, but Aatish held Rose's shoulder with proud feeling

(How shameless)

"Biwi hai meri, aapko koi pareshani nahi honi chahiye" Aatish said and Rose looked at him with proud feeling

(she is my wife, you shouldn't have any problem)

"Huh.. Sharam naam ki cheez to duniya se khatam hi ho gayi hai" That man and woman said and in unisone

(there isn't any shame left in this world)

Aatish opened his mouth to arguing but "Aarish... They are elders what are you doing?" Rose held his hand and said in hushed tone.

"Sorry uncle aunty, we will take care from now onwards" Rose said and they both man and woman looked at each other then Aarish and Rose then moved from there after jurking their head.
