Synthesis of Scattered Pieces ✔️

6.

That's how they had their first lunch together.

"Thanks for the pizza, sir" She smiled, and Daniyal returned that smile with a nod. "Could you please call me Daniyal? Please. It's extremely awful to hear this word." Shifa sigh and shrugged. "It's difficult but I'll try"

"That's like a good girl, start practising from now only"

"Sir You're very demanding" She blinked and Daniyal showed his grin with a nod. "And stubborn too" he must be the first person who was praising himself but Shifa laughed.

"Yes you're, RJ Deni" For the first time Shifa call him without salutation and Daniyal dramatically sighed with relief.

"RJ khushi, could you please share today's script with me?"

"Why not Si... I mean Deni?"

The formal relationship between them was converting into friendship without any notice, and surprisingly they both were enjoying one another company without even realising. There were some similarities between them which were making them friends and a few differences which were attracting them just like the opposite poles of a magnet.

The knife was attacking the vegetables as if, it was the neck of enemies, every strike was making a loud thud with the help of a chopping board.

"Mummy, stop it. You've to chop them, not mince." Looking at the condition of the cucumber he said out of frustration.

"How can you be so cool in this situation?" She yelled at her son who rolled his eyes.

"You're saying as if I'm dying to marry Shifa... I also don't like her. But don't know why dad is forcing this decision on me?" Shariq came out of frustration but without compromising with the game he was already playing on his mobile.

"And what are you doing? You're accepting his decision. You haven't denied even once." Rani burst out on her son who put his mobile down.

"Dad wants to make Shifa his daughter-in-law, let him fulfil his wish, you and me both know very well he doesn't listen to anyone after making decisions."

"How can you be ready to accept her as your wife?"

"Mummy, I'm not ready to accept her as my wife, but as a daughter-in-law of your husband. Padi rahegi ghar ke kisi koone me, aur aapko bhi to koi chahiye na jo ghar ka sara kaam kar de." rolling his eyes Shariq resumed the game and Rani Huffed.

(She will be lying in some corner of the house, and you also need someone who can do all the household chores.)

"But I don't want to introduce Shifa as your wife."

"That's your problem, not mine. I'll not have any problem introducing her as my wife. Jo bhi ho, shakal to theek hi hai uski, I'll not feel embarrassed." He replied without bothering to look up but he could feel Rani glaring at him.

(She is fine by looks)

"Mummy accept the reality you couldn't do anything" Rani huffed in a defeated way but Shariq smirked. "But shifa and Maryam Mami could do"

"What do you mean?" She asked

"Anwar Mama and his family is coming for lunch. Right?" Rani nodded with confusion,  "Mummy you just have to pass a few comments as usual or say something bitter in your sweet style which will hurt Shifa and Maryam Mami so that they both refuse this proposal on their own." Rani nodded and her evil mind started playing a small game.

"Hmm... Just see, how I'll reveal the secrets of Shifa in front of Anwar bhai." Rani mumbled with an evil smirk and Shariq jerk his head. "Do whatever you want to do, I don't care" with this phrase he stepped out from the home.
