The Entangled Tales

ہم تو بس خواہش کا مرجانامانگتے ہیں-

Translation: We just want our wishes to be dead.

Hooriya's POV:

My morning back at college, however, has so far been a disaster. I don't know if I am distracted by Him or just tired, first from Humayil bhaiya's wedding and then my exams, but I haven't felt this drained in a while. Oh and to top it off my monthly gift decided to arrive today.
Ughh why is it always Mondays?

After those 6 horrible hours, I entered the villa just to see the driveway full of cars. Hearing all the mixed noises coming from inside, I wonder what's going on.

I stepped in the house from the backside just to dodge all the people gathered in the lounge.

"Hooriii where have you been? I was waiting for you." Maha Api wraps me in a hug as soon as I entered my room.

"What happened Api?"
I asked her, worriedly.

"All these proposals got me dying. I can't bear this anymore. Why can't mama papa understand that I don't want to get married? I just want to focus on my dreams and marriage is not in my plans yet."
Aapi replied while making a crying face.

"Uff!! You scared me for a second! By the way, it's your fault to be this beautiful. Of course, everyone will like you for their sons or brothers."
I hugged her and lovingly replied while looking at her. I didn't want her to get in trouble for speaking all of this in front of our family as I know they will never allow her to get into the field she wants to be in.

Maha is 23 and stood at 5'5" her flawless wheatish complexion with shoulder cut brown hair and deep black eyes. She had this bold bone in her which made her more different from others unlike me who is so shy and timid, we both are poles apart from eachother which sometimes makes me wonder how are we even sisters. From the start our choices have always been so different like the sun and the moon. She's always been troubling around where as I always take the blame on her behalf, even though I wonder how everyone figures that it's not my fault but hers. Nevertheless, I love her so much as she is my only sister and she loves me just as much.

My thoughts haulted as Maha Api said, "Jee jee bilkul, jaise tum toh pyari nahi ho, balkey sabse khoobsurat tou tum hi ho sarey rishtey tumharey hi aney chahye." (Yeah right.. as if you're not pretty yourself.. infact you should be the one getting all the proposals after all you're the prettiest one.)

"Mein choti bhi tou hoon na phir." (I am too young to be getting proposals.) I stuck out my tongue to her, to which she rolled her eyes. I love teasing her with every chance I get, especially when she gets a proposal.

"You just wait for your turn." Maha Api said making me laugh.

Just then the door opened and Mama jaan entered my room.

"Assalam O Alaikum Mama jaani" I greeted her while kissing her both cheeks.

"Walaikum Assalam meri jan (My love). Hoori beta why haven't you changed yet? We are having some guests over, they came for your api's alliance." Mama informed me as she glanced towards Api, who rolled her eyes in response.
