Another Hate Love Story

"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.
