Ishq In The Air

•|Hamraahi|• 4

Tabah hokar bhi tabahi nahi dikhti

Ye ishq hai huzoor, iski koi dawai nahi bikti

"Zunaira had her 7th breakup yesterday, that's why I couldn't come earlier. I told her that she is wasting her time on stupid boys. I asked her to come with me, so that she will meet Hashim, the perfect boy for her but she refused"

Her high pitched voice caused a fill of rage in Ezzah and she buried the fork on what ever surface she found.

"Baaajjjiii!!!" Rumaiza moaned in pain as she gripped her hand tight.

Ezzah saw her red hand and immediately pulled back the fork."Sorry," She looked away clenching her jaw.

"Zulekha! You know that Aslam is diabetic! Don't give him the sweets" Baby Aunty said in a worried tone and Zulekha rolled her eyes.

"It's sugar-free" Raza explained to his aunt who passed him an extra sweet smile.

"Ohh! Aslam, do you remember how you used to bring me chocolates hiding from everyone? And what about the time when you asked me to write your name on my hands with Henna? Oh how much I missed you! " She batted her lashes shamelessly at the man in front of his 3 children and his wife.

"Achaaw?" Zulekha asked giving Aslam a side glare and he shook his head in a no again and again in horror.

"Dadu! Jane ko kahe inhe! Mai kuch keh dungi toh mujhe baad mai mat kahiye ga!"

(Grandfather! Tell her to leave! I might say something to her and then you should not question me)

Ezzah was done with the 4-hour-long torture named Baby Aunty.

Razia Zahir, Also known as Baby Aunty was the niece of Hammad Qureshi who settled abroad after her parents' death in a car accident. She was always a trouble for his family.

Not the good king of trouble like Ezzah.

She soon got married and had a daughter named Zunaira. Zunaira was 10 steps ahead of her mother. They had a lavish lifestyle in Istambul.

Baby Aunty was divorced 4 times and had been living alone ever since.

"What did she say, Raza?" Razia looked at him who was the only person who tolerated her and acted as her translator.

"Uh... She said that she is very happy to meet you" Raza stuttered forcing a smile.

" Ezzah! Vo badi hai, unki izzat karni hai apko. Mai kuch nahi sunuga"

(She is an elder, you should respect her. I will not listen anything!) Her grandfather quietened her.

" But Dadu! Ye jhooti kahaniyan toh galat hai na? Apni beti keliye Mera shohar pasand hai, khud ke liye mere baba, Ye kya hamara ghar tabah karne ayi ha?"

(But these false stories are wrong, isn't it? She wants my husband for her daughter, my father for herself, is she here to destroy our home?) She wasn't one to be quietened.

"Ezzah, Apko maloom hai unki bemaari ki wajah se unhe apne ap situations assume karne ki aadat hai jo kabhi hui hi nahi. Or vo bhul jati hai baaton ko"

(You know that she is like this because of her disease, that make her assume situations that never happened. And she forgets things)

This time it was her grandmother who explained to her and she looked away with a frown.
