"So Adnaan what happened? Sara maani ya nahi?" Avinash enquired in a friendly manner and Adnaan smiled with genuine happiness on his face.

(Sara has understood or not?)

"Thank God She understood me" Adnaan's reply was short but opposite to Avinash's expectation.

"That's good! You're lucky to get Sara as your wife who understands you, otherwise, these modern and self-dependent girls of this era aren't trustworthy, they are very clever and cunning, moreover, they don't know how to adjust in marriage." Adnaan looked up and smile then again shift his eyes to the laptop screen

" Sara is different" Adnaan muttered

"Hmm... That's good but..." Avinash mysteriously left the sentence in between to make Adnaan confused.

"But What Avi?"

"But make sure that she is not making you fool." Avinash pat at Adnaan's shoulder like he was a well-wisher for him and Sara.

"Why would she make me fool?" This time Adnaan questioned with furrowed brows and a frustration in his voice.

"Tera ye andha bharosa dekh kr dar lagta hai, kahi dhokha na khaa lena... Aaj kal ki dependent ladkiyan bohot chalak hain wo...." Adnaan didn't let him complete.

(After witnessing your blind trust in Sara, I feel scared for you. These girls ar...)

"Thanks for your concern but Don't worry about me." Adnaan hides his frustration behind his words, but Avinash interpret that it wasn't easy to change Adnaan's mind

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

"May I come in Ma'am?" A knock on the door of the computer room grabbed Sara's attention and she nodded with a smile.

"Come in Qaleel, you don't have to be so formal" She replied with a titter and Qaleel took his seat in front of Sara.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"Making results of last practical and after that, I'll make the question papers for upcoming tests" She replied without looking at Qaleel. "You're busy, I should take my leave"

"Come on Qaleel, it's okay. Don't be so formal, tell me how is your mother's health now?" Stopping typing Sara glanced at Qaleel with that question then resume her work.

"Not fine" His reply was short which saddened Sara from the dept of her heart, "I'm so sorry for her" she muttered while again stopping herself to type and looked at Qaleel who was sitting in front of her silently.

"She will be fine soon, be optimistic" She tried to console him and for two very long moments Qaleel's eyes keep watching Sara with mysterious emotions floating in them.

"What?" Sara waved her hand in front of his eyes to pull him back to reality.

"Umm... I.. I was wondering if everything becomes fine by being optimistic or not?" Sara was answerless in front of that question, she sighed and shrugged.

"I don't know if situations become better or not but by being optimistic, we gain energy to face them" Sara muttered and Qaleel smiled

" sometimes you handle me so nicely, as you know me inside out"

"Coffee piyoge?" Sara offered and He nodded

(Wanna have a coffee?)

"Aap ko mana karde hamari itni himmat kaha?"

(I can't refuse your order)

"Please don't use this type of sugar-covered words, it's so annoying for me... You're sounding like a flirt" Sara made a boundary and he laughed.

"Did you feel bad? I was just... By the way, Ye tumhara husband, face se hi bohot flirt type lagta hai... Sach me hai kya?"

(Your husband look flirty, isn't he?)

"What the hell?" Sara chuckled but rolled her eyes.

"He isn't flirty at all" She replied "At least not with me" She muttered for herself

"But honestly Sara he looks like one... By the way, does he doubt you? It's very common in those type of husbands"

"Ye kya tum mohalle ki aunty ban gaye? Adnaan main Itna interest to kabhi mene bhi nahi liya jitna tum le rahe ho"

(Dude why are you behaving like a gossip addictive aunty? Even I haven't taken this much interest in Adnaan's activities that you're showing)

"Batao na, shak karta hai?" He pressed his question and Sara sighed.

(Tell me na... Does he doubt you?)

"Wo shak karta to main tumhare sath beth kar coffee Nahi pi rahi hoti, balki ghar ke kisi kone me bethi Hui koi kaam kar rahi hoti" Sara shrugged simply but Qaleel again started typing what she was doing some minutes back.

(if he would doubt on me then I was at home instead of having coffee with you )

"That's good, but as a friend I wanna warn you, I'm a man and I can feel the qualities of other men, and honestly your husband seems flirty. Always keep an eye on him? Kyuki is type ke aadmiyon ko ghar me biwi aur bahar girlfriend chahiye hoti hai, na hi ye biwi ko girlfriend ke bare me pta lagne dete hain aur na hi girlfriend ko koi takleef dete hain... Aish hi Aish... Ghar me bhi aur bahar bhi" Sara's Heart skipped two beats, her smile dies and she thinks for a few moments then fake a smile.

(These types of men keep a wife for home and a girlfriend for outside, they know the trick to fool their wife )

"Adnaan is not from those men" She muttered but her dead smile was enough to show the condition of her heart, Qaleel's arrow hit the target. Leaving her coffee she started thinking about Adnaan and the possibilities of Adnaan's betrayal

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

ᗩᖴᎢᗴᖇ Ꭲᗴᑎ ᗞᗩᎩᔑ

Sara and Adnaan were in their lazy mood, it was Sunday and both the lazy bears were in their pajamas. They woke up super late and Instead of making breakfast at the time of lunch they ordered a pizza.

"Accha hai na?" Sara asked while munching on a big morsel and Adnaan rolled his eyes

(It's good, isn't it?)

"Puch to aese rahi hai jese tune hi banaya hai" Sara glare at him with fake anger and he smirked but pursed his lips to convey an air kiss to her which immediately changed her mood to a smile.

(You're asking as you've made it)

"Achha suno na" She muttered with a pout and lightly shook Adnaan's arm like a child demands

(Listen)

"Bhook"

(Bark out)

"Tameez se baat kara karo mujhse" She again glares at him as if her instructions would change his behaviour towards her.

(Talk to me in a good way)

"Huh... In your finest dream and in my horrible dream"

"Tum na bohot bure ho, had hai yaar... Kabhi to Mujhe special feel karwa diya Karo. Mere liye achhi si chai Bana do... Please" Sara huffed while looking away but the very next moment demanded tea on which Adnaan made a fake cry face and shook his head.

(You're very bad, why you don't make me feel special? At least make a strong tea for me)

"Huh... I'm not making tea."

"Adnaan..." She grit her teeth and he smirked but pulled her cheek.

"Going" Saying that he stepped out from the bed and looked towards the pizza box, only one piece was left Sara's gaze also went to the box and they both looked at each other. A mischievous smile captured both lips and Sara slowly out her hand to pick that, just like a crocodile who ambush for prey and pounce rapidly. But Adnaan was faster than Sara, in a fraction of second he grabbed the last piece and run out from the room.

"Adnaannnnnn...." She shouted like a cry baby but Adnaan was laughing madly.

"Adnaan Tum na bohot bade..." Sara yelled but stopped with frustration

(Adnaan you're a big...)

"Kameena hu?" He completes her Sentence with a chuckle and Sara rolled her eyes, meanwhile, his mobile started ringing.

(Rascal?)

"Whose call is this?" Adnaan yelled from the kitchen and Sara picked his mobile.

"Avinash Satyanash ki call hai... Ye Sunday ko kyu call kar raha hai?" Sara replied loudly then received the call.

(Avinash the jerk is calling, but why he's calling on Sunday?)

"Hello"

"Hello"

"Hellooooo" Sara utter many times but another side was silent, with a frustrating sighed she cut the call, but she felt strange. She placed down the mobile, on the other hand, Avinash and Mansi got a new evil plan in their mind after listening to Sara's voice on Adnaan's mobile.

"Adnaan I received the call but he didn't utter a single word" She informed but Adnaan rolled his eyes.

"Yaar he must be calling for presentation, I'm not receiving the call" passing the cup of tea to Sara he utters with frustration and again the mobile started ringing.

"Let it be ringing" He muttered and they both started having tea but Avinash's call was coming again and again.

"I'm receiving the call, and I'll say that you're not at home... You forget your mobile here" Sara whispered but Adnaan shook his head trying to snatch his mobile from Sara's hand. " No Sara... Please don't.. I'm not in mood to do any work, he will definitely give me work"

"Shhh... I'm receiving..."

"Sara give me my mobile..." Adnaan one more time tried to stop her to receive the call but no benefit, Sara stubbornly gestured him to stay silent by putting her first finger on her lips, which Adnaan wanted to kiss at that moment but she received the call making his desire go to vain. Before Sara could say 'Hello'  the voice from the other side made her shocked.

"Hello Adnaan, why aren't you receiving my call?" That was Mansi's voice, and Sara was shocked, removing the mobile from her ear she confirms the caller ID, which was showing Avinash's name

'That's why he was stopping me to receive the call' She thought

"Adnaan are you there?" Sara was surprised again, she was deeply disappointed in Adnaan, she was thinking Adnaan had saved Mansi's name as Avinash, just to save himself.

"Adi are you there?" Sara glares at Adnaan and he raised his brows in a questioning way.

"it's Mrs. SARA ADNAAN " Sara introduced herself with arrogance and anger, eyes were still glaring at Adnaan. She was expecting Mansi to respond but she cut the call immediately.

"Why are you glaring at me? Am I looking over handsome?" He asked while lifting the cup of tea to take a sip "It was Mansi... That's why you were stopping me to receive the call"

"Pagal hai kya? It's Avinash's number" Adnaan was in a state of confusion, how it was possible that Mansi would call Avinash's number.

(Are you mad?)

"It's Mansi's number but saved as Avinash" Sara glare at him and he took the mobile in his hand after placing the cup of tea on the side table.

"It's Avinash's number... "

"Stop making me fool, if you like her and want to be in a relationship with her then go ahead... I don't care, I'll go away from your life, But don't do these things behind my back." Sara shouted with anger before stepping out of the bed. Adnaan was still unable to understand anything.

"Sara are you out of your flipping mind?" Shouting that he moved after her.

"Am I out of my mind? Me! Really?" Sara screamed and Adnaan glares at her.

"Thak gya hu main tere har rooz ke shak se, 5-minute bhi late ho jata hu ek saas me 100 sawal kar let hai, chhup chhup kar mera mobile aur laptop check karna, meri pockets check karna... Tujhe kya lagta hai mujhe pta nhi hai? Thak gya hu main har rooz tujhe yaqeen dilate dilate ki Mansi ke sath mera koi affair nahi hai, tujhe samajh kyu nahi aata?" Adnaan shouted out of frustration.

(I'm tired of your doubts and questions! I know you check my mobile, laptop, even my clothes but I was ignoring it... But I... I'm tired now. I'm tired of making you believe that I'm not involved in any affair with Mansi.)

"Mere shak se thak gaye ho ya mujh se?" Sara asked after glaring at him and he sighed.

(Are you tired of my doubts and questions or with me?)

"Haan... Tujhse hi thak you hu" it was his defeated configuration

(Yes, I'm tired of you)

Both of them were glaring at one another when Adnaan's mobile started ringing, that was again Avinash's Call, which he received in a single ring.

"Hello"

"Adnaan can you come to my home? Have to discuss the new project" Avinash asked and Adnaan keeps staring at Sara with anger.

"Yeah, why not? I'm coming" Saying that adnaan cut the call and Sara was shocked, because according to her Adnaan was being called by Mansi.

"Where are you going?"

"6 din kaam Karne ke baad 1 din chhutii ka milta hai, lekin tujhe mera sukun kaha bardasht hota hai? Aese ghar me rehne se to achha hai banda kaam hi kar le" Shouting that Adnaan turns to go to the bathroom to change his clothes and left the home after taking his laptop bag. Sara was in tears, she hadn't love anyone more than Adnaan and his betrayal was killing her from inside. Neither she could share that pain with anyone nor could ignore it.

(After working for six days I got one day leave but you can't digest my peace. I'm going.. )

Qaleel's words were echoing in Sara's ears that Adnaan might have an extra-marital affair and unfortunately, Avinash and Mansi were successful to make her believe in that.

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

"Adnaan you're looking anxious, any problem? You can share with me" Avinash patted at Adnaan's shoulder but he fakes a smile and shook his head.

"Everything is fine "

"Argued with Sara?" Avinash inquired and Adnaan nodded after letting go a sigh.

"Avi tell me why Mansi was calling me from your number?" Adnaan investigated and Avinash gave a strange look "What? How it is possible that I called you but Mansi was on call?" Avinash Asked with confusion and Adnaan shrugged.

"I'm unable to understand anything, I'll become mad," Adnaan muttered while pinching the bridge or his nose and Avinash sighed.

"You go home, you can't work in this condition" Adnaan shook his head on Avinash's advice. "I don't wanna go home... At least here isn't anyone to argue with me"

"Adnaan go to your home, bring some gifts for Sara, she will be happy and will understand you."

"Avi, I know, she won't understand me," Adnaan sogh out of frustration and Avinash Smiled. "Sara loves you na... She will understand you, only Those wives don't try to understand who don't love their husband but some other man" Avinash forced him to go back and he nodded.

"Bye, take care and don't forget to take a gift for Sara" Adnaan nodded to the instruction and left for his home.

Avinash immediately call someone and wait to receive the call

"Hello"

"Where are you right now?" Avinash asked

"At my home" He replied shortly

"Remember what I'd told you? Adnaan is just hopping in his car, Reach Sara's building soon, and make sure she won't see you" Avinash instructed the man while peeping out from the window, Adnaan has just hopped in his car.

"Yeah, I remember the plan. Okay, I'll be there" soon the call was disconnected.

"Tum aaj kal Adnaan ki life me kuch zyada interest nhi le rahe? Tumhe kya Matlab hai uski wife se? Aaj tak kabhi mere liye to koi gift laye nahi use advise de rahe the uski wife ke liye gift le kar jaane ke liye." Avinash turned to saw the owner of that angry voice, who was no one else but his wife.

(Why are you taking interest in Adnaan and his wife? You haven't brought a single gift for me ever but advising him to give gifts to his wife)

"Were you listening our conversation?" Avinash asked trying to hide his anger and his wife glare him.

"Will you tell me what are you doing with Adnaan? As far as I know you're a big jerk, you can't do anything good for anyone" His wife crossed her arms on chest while Glaring Avinash.

"Take this and Get lost from here..." passing his credit card to his wife Avinash gestures towards the door of his study and his wife left after jerking her head.

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

Holding the laptop bag in one hand and some snacks in the other hand Adnaan stepped out from his car. He was angry with Sara but still didn't want to argue with her again.

"Today I won't talk to her, this time she has to initiate the conversation" Mumbling that he took steps ahead and his eyes became wide when saw Qaleel standing on stairs.

Qaleel also saw him and without wasting a single moment he scoot towards the main gate of society, Just like a thief who run away after watching cops coming.

Gulping his anger he went to his apartment, the door was already unlocked because Sara did not bother to lock that after Adnaan left the home, but he interpret that might Qaleel had left just now.

"Qaleel kyu aaya tha?" Going in the bedroom he asked with anger filled voice and Looked at him with same anger while placing down the book she was reading.

(why did Qaleel come?)

"What?" she looked confused

"Bohot mushkil Sawal puchh liya kya? Qaleel kyu aaya tha?"

(I'm sounding complicated? Why did Qaleel come?)

"Tum Pagal ho gye ho kya? Qaleel nahi aaya" Sara replied with anger and frustration.

(Are you out of your flipping mind? Qaleel hasn't come here)

"Sara don't lie, I know he was here."

"What the hell you wanna say? When I'm saying he wasn't here then what's the reason behind this pathetic question?" Sara yelled out of anger, how could she tolerate that question when according to Her Qaleel didn't even arrive there and for Adnaan Qaleel's visit wasn't a big matter of concern until Sara didn't lie about his arrival. Suddenly Avinash's words rang in his ears regarding cheating of wife, though Adnaan didn't wanted to believe on that for Sara but what could he do? He was also a normal human being who trust his senses and watching Qaleel going away in front of his eyes wasn't a small thing to be ignored, moreover Sara's lie... Only according to him...

"Wo Aaya tha to Bata de na ki aaya tha, jhut bolne ki zarurat kya hai?"

( to admit that he was here, why are you lying)

"Jab wo aaya hi nahi to kyu kahu ki wo aaya tha? Ye ghatiya ilzaam laga kar Saabit kya karna chahte ho?"

( how can I admit that he was there when he didn't arrive! What do you wanna prove by putting this blame on me?)

Whole apartment was echoing with their shoutings, neighbours were trying to understand the matter but for them that voice wasn't clear to understand.

"Sara mene khud dekha hai use stairs se neeche aate hue... Meri aakho ke saamne wo yaha se gya hai... Jhut mat bol"

(Sara I have witnessed him going downstairs, don't lie)

"Tum khud, meri aakho ke saamne apni girlfriend se milne jaate ho, aur itna ghatiya ilzaam mujh par laga rahe ho?" Sara shouted more than her normal shouting voice.

( you go to meet your girlfriend in front of my eyes and putting this squicky accuse over me!)

"Tujhe 100 baar bataya hai Mansi se koi rishta nahi hai mere... Past me jo hua wo tujhe Bata chuka hu ab Aesa kuch nhi hai, aur Abhi tak to mene tujh par koi ilzaam nahi lagaya, main to Sirf itna puchh raha hu ki wo aaya kyu tha?" Adnaan didn't shout this time but asked while gritting his teeth

( I have cleared it hundred times that I am in no relationship with Mansi it was, past and you already know about it. And one more thing I'm not accusing you... I'm simply asking Why Qaleel arrived here?)

" Tumne kisi aur ko dekha hoga, Qaleel yaha nahi aaya" Gritting her teeth in same Adnaan's style she replied with rage

(I'm also simply replying that he hasn't arrive here, maybe you've seen someone else)

"Andha hu main? Ya Pagal samjha hai mujhe?" He yelled out if frustration

(Are you considering me a fool?)

"Andhe aur Pagal ka to pta nahi, magar tum bohot ghatiya insaan ho... I hate you Adnaan, I hate you"

(I don't know about fool, but you're disgusting I hate you Adnaan, I hate you)
