" Yaasu?"

Saifaan knocked on his brother's door but got no response.

" Yaasu?"

Saifaan looked at his wrist watch and he has to leave in a few minutes if he didn't want to be late today.

" Yaaseen Bakhtaawar Jafari!" Saifaan whisper yelled at the door and it was yanked open the next second by a very groggy looking Yaaseen.

" Kaunsa nasha karke sotey hou tum? Aag lagi hou toh jaag gaye tum ghar jalne se pehle!" Saifaan flicked his brother's forehead and scolded him.

" Aag lagi hain? Kaha? Aap yaha kyu khade hain phir? Ammi Abbu aur Bhabhi theek hain?" Yaaseen who was still under the effect of sleep, tried to rush past him but Saifaan pulled him back by his collar.

" Aag nahi hain" Saifaan rolled his eyes at him but Yaaseen was still standing with a confused face.

" Aapne fire brigade bulayi thi? Ghar ko kitna nuksaan aaya?" Yaaseen looked around at the house but it still looked soot free and unburnt, Alhamdulillah.

" Hosh mein aaon Yaaseen!" Saifaan slapped his face lightly, his irritation increasing with every passing second.

" Hosh mein hi toh nahi aana chahta hoon main Saifu Bhai. Aagaya toh job dhoondna padega aur mere abhi hi exams khatam hue hain. Main aaraam karna chahta hoon kuch din, please!" Yaaseen begged his older brother who rolled his eyes yet again at his dramatics.

" Khuda ke vaastey kuch dair chup kar jaaon Yaasu aur meri baat suno" Saifaan rubbed his temple before looking at his younger brother who was leaning on his doorframe sleepily.

" Main aaj Bake Studio nahi jaa paaunga aur Yumna waha akeli hogi" Saifaan was surprised seeing the instantaneous change in his brother's demeanor.

Interesting.

" Main jaata hoon na Bhai, aap fikr nahi karein" Yaaseen looked alert, a complete contrast to his state just a few seconds ago.

" Umair bhi kuch din ke liye nahi aapayega toh..." Saifaan was cut short by his brother's snort and yet again he was intrigued.

" Woh na hi aayein toh behtar hain. Usse kahein ki apne padhayi par dhyaan dein" Yaaseen said distastefully and Saifaan chuckled at his childlike behavior.

" Umair is an exceptional manager and we wouldn't want to lose him, toh uspar mujhe behas nahi chahiye" he cleared and saw his nose scrunching up.

" Tum jaaoge? Yumna ko pick bhi karna hota hain. Rozaana main karta hoon par aaj mere paas bilkul waqt nahi hain" Saifaan looked at his watch again and shrieked seeing the time .

He has to get going now!

" Aap jaayein main dekh lunga sab" Yaaseen assured him and Saifaan looked at him in a  calculative fashion.

Wasn't he too sleepy to get out of bed just a few minutes ago?

" Theek hain aur ab tum jaa hi rahein hou toh ek dafaa shop ke accounts ledger check karlena. Mujhe Umair par poora yakeen hain par kabhi kabhi galtiya hou jaati hain jaldbaazi mein" Saifaan said while readjusting the strap of his bag on his shoulder, wanting to leave immediately.

" Aap befikr rahein Bhai" Yaaseen assured him solemnly and Saifaan ruffled his hair before walking to the living room to wish his wife goodbye.

Yaaseen walked after Saifaan and snickered when he saw him cooing at an irritated Sohai who pushed his brother away when he leaned in to kiss her head.

Pregnancy hormones!

" Kitni violent hou gayi hain aap Bhabhi!" Yaaseen sat down on the Diwan and teased his brother's wife.
