"Ab aap batana pasand karein gi keh kia howa tha?" Affan asked Mehru on their way back.
Mehro told him exactly what had happened.
"Woah.... Yousafzai did that....Wow" Affan acted surprised.
"Kia matlab hai iss baat ka? And by the way, how do you guys know eachother?" Mehru faced Affan this time.
"We were in the same school, he was my senior, he often helped me in many of my courses because his brain is absolutely crazy.... I don't know him very well though because he was always on his mysterious mode plus he never used to hang out with any of his friends, even college tak salaam dua thi meri kaafi iss keh saath" Affan replied.
"He was kinda sus.... But then we realized keh woh aisa he hai.... Introverted aur exclusive.... Tabhi toh mein shock mein tha when you told me.... This isn't the Salar I know" Affan blabbered.
"Kia matlab?" Mehru wanted to know more. Momina was listening silently at the back seat.
"He was a 'no drama', 'no parties' and of course 'no dating' kinda guy.... Girls used to beg him to date them but he was Salar Yousafzai, dating wasn't his thing" Affan said.
"Phir what was his thing?" Mehru couldn't stop herself from asking.
"He wasn't someone who would date....I mean he could....He is hot and rich yet he didn't.... I am sure of it" Affan answered.
"Tumhein kaisay pata hai yeh sab?" Mehru asked him.
"Tum bohat zaida he sawal nahi poch rahi? Khairyat hai?" He asked Mehru in return.
"Nahi....Haan.... Matlab aisay he poch rahi hun, nahi batana toh na batao" Mehru mumbled.
"Khair.... Salar Yousafzai kisi ko date karay aur poray Islamabad ko na pata lagay, aisa ho he nahi sakta.... He's still a big want here....Usski khabrein uss sy bhi pehly pohnchti hain idher" Affan answered.
They dropped Momina and rest of the journey was also covered in silence.
When they got home, Mehru opened the car door in order to leave just when Affan said: "Mehru..." Affan said.
"Affan say it.... Kia pochna chah rahay ho itni dair sy" Mehru asked Affan as she shut the door again.
"Mehru I think Salar might be into you.... Do you like him too?" Affan said abruptly.
"Wait wait wait.... Affan tumhein kis ny keh dia" Mehru denied it.
"Bro what happened today was unreal....Plus yeh mein nahi, yeh usski nazrein kehti hain....the way he looked at you was everything.... It looked as if he was in love aur-" Affan spoke speedily.
"Affan tum kab sy nazrein parhny lag gaye? bakwas na karo" Mehru got furious, she didn't even know why.
"Bakwas nahi sach hai.... I know what a man looks like when he is in love.... Aur tum ny mujhy bataya bhi nahi tha keh he's Zarminah's brother." Affan argued.
"It didn't seem important to me" Mehru justified.
"Khair choro.... He is a decent guy though.... And if you-" Affan was about to complete his sentence when Mehru interrupted.
"Acha bas karo.... Bohat tareefein nahi kartay ho tum usski?" Mehru changed the topic.
"Mein nahi zamana karta hai" Affan said in a very assuring tone.
Mehru stayed put for few seconds and then she got out of the car and went inside.
