"EYYY!!" i said in happiness as i walked over to hug him 

"hey man, hows you?" he asked me and i chuckled

"Alhamdulillah, you?" I asked and he sighed in a dramatic way 

"My girlfriend left me, my mom and dad told me to leave home and my bro forgot about me!" he said in a whole dramatic way that for a second, it seemed true 

I stared at him before bursting out into laughter along with everyone else 

we all knew Waarith never got along with any girls 

He had no sisters, he was the only son, his mom and dad were amazing, loved us to bits and his brothers would never forget him because he is always there- 

"Damn it, did not work!" he said and i laughed more 

"Alright, Alright, hows work?" he asked me and i grinned giving him thumbs up 

"Wait a minute- where is Iqraam? I heard that 'baghairat' got married?" he asked and i grinned at him 

"Indeed- and he did not tell you?" i asked him, teasing him 

"He did, actually i was too busy with dad's company and school to even get out of town!" he replied and i nodded 

he then turned to mom and bhabhi and began talking animatedly to them 

i turned to Iqra and she gave me a small smile 

"Alright, Shumayll, bhai, can we go to the room now, I am tired and sleepy as hell" he said and i chuckled

"you know the way!" i said and he bid goodbye to everyone before heading up to my room 

Waarith was like a real brother to me, he was like Iqraam, maybe thats why they hit it off too well- 

my dad has only one sister, Waarith's mom, and one brother, who is in US, he also has two sons, Aarib and Aariz, both younger than me (i think one is 18 and the other is 19), we all get along all too well 

Shaheer bhai is the oldest, then me, then Waarith, Aarib, Aariz and then finally Shumar, the youngest 

We don't have sisters in the immediate family, so Huma bhabhi is valued everywhere because she is the oldest and only female of our generation in the family 

moving on, back to Waarith 

"Sale kutte kamine, how can you forget to pick me up!?!" he asked me as he put his bags down on the floor of the spacious living room in my room 

i gave him a sheepish grin 

"I was so much into programming that i forgot about it" i said and he laughed

"Why don't you just marry a god damn computer?" he asked me and i grinned

"I was hoping to......." i said as i set on the couch, hitting the TV on 

"Right-" he said sarcastically 

"By the way, who was the new girl in the house?" he asked me and i raised my eyebrows 

"new girl?" i asked him 

no one came in before him i think 

maybe someone did 

"The one who was standing at the far end and no one bothered to introduce me to her" he said and i stared at him in confusion 

"Which one you talking about?" i asked him and he sighed 

"Leave it yaar, i will meet her myself- poor girl, she was left alone!" he said and i shrugged

"So, when are you getting married?" he asked me and immediately my thought went to Iqra
