The receptionist Maha smiled looking at Raima, she recognized her from their first encounter.
"Aaj bhi appointment nahi leni kia?" She raised her eyebrows and Raima chuckled.
(You won't take an appointment today too?)

"Ab zururat hi nahi hai, bas ye batao is your boss alone ya koi meeting chal rahi hai."
(There's no need now, just tell me is your boss alone Or there's a meeting going on?)

"The meeting will end in 10 minutes and he told me not to send anyone inside after the meeting."

"I am not anyone. Don't worry." Raima waited for a few minutes and when the receptionist told her that the people left, she moved towards his room.

She knocked but no reply came. Hassan heard the knock but ignored it since he had already told the receptionist he doesn't want to meet anyone and if there was a problem, she'd call him. He had turned his rolling chair towards the window and his back was towards the door. At the second knock, he turned and picked up the phone and called the receptionist.
"Ms Maha, didn't I tell you—" His words stopped when Raime entered inside, not bothering to knock the third time.
"I am sorry Sir but she—"

"No it's okay. I am sorry. She's my wife. Don't stop her." Hassan quickly apologised and put the phone down. He raised his eyebrows at her with a smile. He was really tired & was feeling low but her arrival made him smile despite all the work.

"Mera dil krrha tha ane ka." She scrunched her nose remembering the insult in the class.
(I wanted to come.)

"Or ye dil kiun krrha tha achanak? Wo bhi office ane ka?" She bit her lips while looking at him and he frowned. He thought for a moment and the next second shaped his lips in a "o".
(And why did this heart wanted to come suddenly?)

"Yakeenan koi assignment bholgyi hogi tum."
(You must've forgot any assignment.)
She nodded.
" And professor must have scolded you in front of the whole class."
She nodded again.

"You're careless about your studies, Raima."
"I am not. I just get overwhelmed by the work. I have to go to university as well as the office. I prioritize work more since my dad worked really hard for it. That's why studies somehow get neglected." She placed her head in her hands.
Hassan took a plate & started eating while Raima stared at him.
"Insan formality ke lye hi keh deta hai ke meri help chahye ho to batana." Hassan coughed.
(Even if for formality, a person offers to provide help.)

"Han han, rukhsat ho kr meri taraf ajao. I'll make sure to help you in work as well as in studies."
(Yes yes, move in to my house...)

"Do you want rukhsati? It's only been 2 months."
(Rukhsati means moving in with your husband.)

"Raima, I don't see a reason to not want it. I am only waiting for you. I don't have a problem even if it's held tomorrow." He shrugged.

"Can't we wait like 2 years?"
"We can." Hassan assured her and she left after lunch.

Ahil was walking in the hallway when his eyes caught Hoor who was standing and talking to a patient's family there. She was wearing a simple green shalwar Kameez & hair in a ponytail. His mother had told him that she said yes & they would go to her house in a day or two to meet her family & proceed with things. He wasn't in love with her but knowing that she was his wife to be, it was a strange feeling. He had always seen her as a stubborn junior & she was definitely the intern who got the most scoldings. She wasn't a bad doctor or careless in work, but his first meeting didn't go well & also since she was Ayaan's sister, he didn't want to sound as someone who was favouring her because it could create problems for all of them. He also knew he was once too harsh but he kept delaying the apology until he thought it's not necessary to apologize. He didn't know much about her personally except that she wasn't a shy quiet introvert, she was an outspoken extrovert with others. With him, he couldn't give a judgement since they always worked as senior junior & they weren't any friends. One thing he knew for sure, it was always a kind of fun when he scolded her. He had heard her cursing him while talking to Yumna, Hadeed or Hamza multiple times & he always made sure to scold her more. He never told her he'd listened to her cursing him multiple times. It made him angry but amused & he made sure to reply back but in a different way.

He frowned when he saw that the patient's family had left & she was laughing with Hamza while discussing something.
'Ek dafa shadi hojaye. Seedha krdunga' He thought and moved towards them.
(Once this marriage happens, I'll straighten her.)

"Kia horha hai?" Ahil's strict voict stopped both of them and they looked at him who was glaring Hoor.
(What's happening?)

'Hamza bhi to sath hai, mjhy hi ghoorna hota hai' Her eyebrows scrunched as she looked down.
(Hamza is also with me, but he always have to glare at me.)

"Nothing sir. Sorry." Hamza apologised and left for work.
"Sorry." Hoor apologized and left, muttering something.
' Ek bar shadi hojaye, seedha krdugi is admi ko. Bas senior hone ka lihaz krti hu, warna jantay nai hain mujhay.'She turned and glared at his retreating back.
(Once this marriage happens, I'll straighten this man. I only tolerate him since he's a senior, otherwise he doesn't know me.)
