She tried to take her jhumka out but it was stuck in her hair,

"May I help?" She looked up to the voice

"Please!" She took her hand down and take a step so he can untangled her jhumka from her hair

Gently he grabbed her jhumka and started untangling it

"You should have tried to take it down gently in first place." He said when she shriek

"I tried it but don't know how it got tangled." She said and hold her head

"What's going on here?" They both got frightened by another voice turning back she saw Zayyan standing there still in the white shalwar and blue kameez that he wore in the morning in Akash's nikkah, his sleeves were rolled up to elbow

"What happened?" He saw Anum biting her lips and doing something to her hair, getting near her he asked

"My jhumka got tangled with my hair."

"Let me see it." He said and looked at her jhumka, Anum looked up at him even in heels she is reaching his shoulder, he was looking lost in her hair and she was in him, it's the first time he is that close to her she can feel heartbeat increasing she just hope he couldn't hear it.

"Here!" Happy to himself he gave her jhumka

"Thank you so much." Taking it from him she said they were still standing close to each other none make a move

When they heard someone clearing their throat, she turned to her cousin who she forget was still standing there

"Uhm! Zayyan meet my cousin Zameer and Zameer meet Zayyan he is my colleague." Zayyan furrowed his eyebrows at her but then turned to Zameer to shake his hand

She again dialled his number but he didn't picked it up again. It has became habit of them after dinner before going to sleep they always call each other but tonight he isn't picking her call

Are you ignoring me?? She type but then erase it,

Are you there?? She send it to him

She didn't wanted to tell him she is effected by his ignorance

"If he wants to ignore me then let him." When he didn't reply huffing she said to herself and putting her phone on side table and lay down covering herself in duvet

She close her eyes tightly but after many false attempt of falling asleep and tossing on her bed, groaning she throw her duvet away and again picked her phone up to see if he has called or msg her

Sleep was no where near her although she was tired from all the activities of morning

Leaving her room she went to kitchen to make herself coffee

"Tum ab Tak soyi nahi?" She was stirring coffee when Zameer also come there

Every relative has left by now but Zameer was staying here because he has come from another state and he has interview tomorrow

Their apartment was 3bhk, one room was Akash's because him being the groom he is not sharing it with anyone second was Aneesa's that she was sharing with her sister (Zameer's mother) and Anum obviously can't she her room with anyone that's why Zameer was sleeping in living room's sofa,

Due to sudden Ray of light coming from kitchen he woke up

"I'm sorry if I disturb you, actually I couldn't sleep that's why I was making myself coffee." Sheepishly Anum said

"Can you make coffee for me too?"

"Hey!" Next day she met Zayyan on lunch break he was with some colleague

"Hi!" He greeted her then again turned to Rhea whom he was talking with when she came, Anum stand there awkwardly not knowing what to say as she didn't wanted to interrupt them but she thought Zayyan himself will excuse her and talked to her,

"Excuse me! I'll just come." Rhea said as her phone started ringing

"I think last night you slept earlier." Anum said when Rhea left them alone

"Yeah I was just tired." Saying he went to coffee machine to make a coffee for him.

"Let me make it for you."

"I can make coffee for myself." Anum flinch with his sudden raise of voice

"Is everything okay?" She again tried to talk to him

"Yes everything is perfectly fine. Now excuse me please" He said and left her alone

She was not understanding what gotta up with him, yesterday he was behaving normal then what has happened in just one night?
