"Itna obvious naam kon rakta ha group ka? Pagal ho tum log?" Mishi scolded.

"Han yar patanhi ye kis bewakoof ne rakha hai." Zaira replied.

"Ab naam change karo ise phele Hamza dekhle I am telling you Zaira use bach kar rehna wo bhot paranoid hai is sabko leke." Mishi replied.

"Mujhe Hamza se daar nahi lagta Mishi." Zaira ofcourse lied.

"Wo isliye kyu ke wo darata nahi hai ek bar daraya tha tumhe school me yaad ha kia hua tha tumhe?" Mishi scoffed.

Zaira as on the cue gulped remembering that awful day.

"Bas abhi aise batein nahi karo." Zaira replied.

Mishi rolled her eyes but stayed silent as she pulled up her sheets and slowly began to fall asleep.

Zaira also slept in her bed only because she was to lazy to get up and walk towards her room.

Next morning the family conveniently followed the routine as the children left for school and college and the elderly men left for work.

Rabia was cleaning up in kitchen when Zeenat came with few dishes.

"Bhabhi?" She stated.

"Han?" Rabia replied.

"Apne dekhe hamare bilkul barabar wale neighbours ghar chor kar jarahe ha?" She said.

"Hain? Mujhe nhi pata!" Rabia replied shocked. The neighbours used to live here since years.

"Han patanhi kyu khai bhar move horahe hai. Shabana bhabhi ne bataya bhi nahi." Zeenat replied.

"Han Haroon ne bhi nahi bataya." Rabia replied.

"Chalo dekhte ha ab shift kon hoga." Zeenat added.

"Acha bhabhi? Wo Hassan bata rahe the ap ne dinner rakha Harib ki business partner ko?" Zeeant asked.

"Han mera bhot dil tha un bacho ko dawat dene ka usdin unhone bhot mera sath dia." Rabia smiled.

"To me kia kherahi thi ap bhaiya or apke bache kisi restaurant me krle dawat ghar pe to apka pata ha ye bache milte ha toofan khara ker dete hai meheman hai pareshan hojange apki family aram se bhar dinner krle Harib ki business partner ka mamla ha ye Zaira Haadi sab ghar sar per utha lenge." Zeenat said.

"Bacho ka to nahi masla hoga leken mein Haroon se poochti hu wo or Harib krle decide." Rabia replied. They both cooked lunch together and kept on talking.

School day went normal except Mahir assigning tons of homework on very first day making Zaira and Haadi blood boil but since Haider's words were ringing in their ears they decided to play it cool.

Hamza's day wasn't any different than yesterday except a toofan trapped in human body avoided him for the entire day. He was glad his father didn't talk about his punishment anymore but silently gave him the keys this morning. He was happy now that his car was back.

After university Hamza picked the three musketeers from their respective institutes.

"Bhai?" Haadi started.

"Farmou?" Hamza replied.

"Chale na khai lunch krne chalte hai." He said.

"Haadi? Kia zaruart ha lunch ki?" Hamza replied tired.

"Hamza please!!" Zaira intervened.

"Tumhe bhi jana ha?" He ignored them and asked Mishi who nodded in agreement.

"Kahan?" He asked.

"Pizza khane." She replied.

"Mama ya bari mama ko message krdo. Haadi chachi ko inform karo." Hamza said and zoomed the car.
