"Rumana jaldi Karo!" Rohail called Rumana from downstairs

(Rumana hurry up!)

"Arahi Hoon!" She shouted back from her room still getting ready

(Coming!)

Rohail inpatiently tap his left feet on floor while checking his watch

"Kahi ja rahe ho tum dono?" Tanzeel asked when she saw her daughter coming down and her son waiting for her

(Are you going somewhere?)

"Isse shopping pe Jana Tha," Rohail told her

(She wants to go to shopping,)

"Roshni ko hi lejao, woh Kal Bata rahi thi ki ussey shopping pe Jana Hai," Tanzeel quickly said making Rumana's smile drop

(Take Roshni with you too, she told me yesterday she also have to go to shopping,)

"Ussey lejana zaroori Hai?" Groaning she asked her mother

(Do we really have to take with us?)

"Achha theek Hai rehne do," Tanzeel saw her daughter's mood sulking so she drop it

(Okay! Let it be,)

Tanzeel was mother and she could see the glint in her son's eyes when she mentioned Roshni's name, a thought came in her mind

"Tumhe Roshni nahi pasand?" Rohail asked his sister while driving

(You don't like Roshni?)

"Nahi,"

(No.)

"Kyu?"

(Why?)

"Jabse woh aai Hai pata nahi kyu sab log ussey aise treat Kar rahe Hain jaise woh kahi ki princess hai, dada aur baba Kam the ki ab nanna ko uske alawa koi aur nahi dikhta," she took a frustrating sigh and explained

(Everyone treats her like she is a princess or something,)

"Woh Diya phupi ki beti hai aur tum janti ho dada unse kitni mohabbat karte the,"

(She is daughter of Diya phupi and you know how much Dad loved her.)

"Aur maybe if you also spend time with everyone rather then just staying in your room, everyone will also gave you attention, Roshni ko nahi dekha kaise sabke sath time spend karti Hai," Rohail tried to give his site advise but she got offend

(Just like Roshni do,)

"Please Bhai ab aap uski taraf dari mat kariye,"

(Now you don't start with her admiration.)

"Achha theek Hai nahi karta," smiling he told his sister

(Fine I won't do,)

"Please!" Roshni requested Affan who was busy in his laptop, she wanted to go to shopping and Khawar was busy, so that's why Roshni was asking Affan to take her to Mall

"Roshni! Main busy Hoon," irritatedly he told her, not taking his eyes away from laptop

(I'm busy,)

"Dadu!" She stormed out of the room

"Achha wait," as soon as the word left her lips Affan quickly shut his laptop

Yawer Khan used to favour Roshni before but now when he get to know she is his own granddaughter she has become the apple of his eye

Yawer Khan stopped Khawar and Roshni and told them to stay here with them, Affan was happy with it because now he can go to office without any worry about his dadu but the problem was Roshni,

How she has became the center of everyone's attention and everyone just spoil her to extreme

Wether it is Asfand, Yawer, Ajmal or Khawar, she was dear to everyone and she take a great advantage of it... Sometimes

"Aur kitna time lagela?" Affan asked while Roshni was looking at two dress

(How much time will it take?)

"Bas hogaya!" She said and picked one dress, Affan quickly went to cashier counter before Roshni changed her mind

(I'm done!)

"Kuch kha to le'n," Roshni whined when she saw Affan has started moving to exit

(Let's eat something,)

Affan changed his direction and they both started moving to food court

While walking Affan suddenly stopped when he saw Roshni wasn't walking side by side with him

"Kya hua?" He looked back and found her looking at something, following her gaze he saw her looking at a black dress

(What happened?)

"Kuch nahi," she nod her head negatively and started walking, Affan followed behind her

(Nothing.)

"Kya Kar rahi ho?" Affan irritatedly asked hen Roshni was changing channel on radio

(What are you doing?)

"7:00pm hogaye iss waqt to RJ Hamza ka Jo show aata Hai woh nahi araha Hai," she aked and again changed the channel

(It's time for RJ Hamza's show, I'm searching for it.)

"Shayad aaj na aye,........achha ab bas Karo," Affan shrugged his shoulder and then stopped her to change the channel, rohni took her hand back to her lap

(Maybe it won't broadcast today, okay enough.)

"But I liked his show," Roshni mumbled

"Itna bhi koi khas nahi hai, bas old songs ko phir se gata Hai," Affan argued

(His voice isn't that good.)

"Awaz achhi Hai unki balki agar hum unse Kabhi mile na toh saaf-saaf kehdenge that I Love....."

(His has really good voice, in fact if I ever meet him I will tell him that I love......)

"You? Tum ussey I love you bologi?" Affan stopped the car and looked at her

(You? You will say I love you to him?)

"Well I love ke bad you hi ata hai toh zahir Hai," teasingly she shrugged her shoulder, Affan didn't said anything and started car

(Well you came after I love so yeah!)

"Waise I love ke baad your voice bhi keh sakte Hain," Roshni again said but Affan decided to keep quiet

(Well you can also say your voice after I love.)

Tum Jano ya na Jano, hum Jane Hain sabhi

Chehre se Dil ki baatei'n pehchane Hain sabhi,

Roshni hummed a line of the song that she loved most in Hamza's voice

Affan looked at her who was busy in looking outside then he focus on the road with a smile on his face

"Roshni! Tum yeh bhool gayi," when Roshni picked the shopper Affan called her giving her one more shopper

(You forgot this.)

"Yeh humara nahi hai," she checked at the shopper she was holding then looked at Affan,

(It isn't mine,)

"Tumhara hi hai." He gave her and left

(It your,)

After coming to her room Roshni checked the shopper Affan gave her

A gasp left her mouth when she saw it was same black dress that she was looking at

After dinner when everyone went to their room Tanzeel decided to talk to her husband

"Kuch bhi karne se pehle Roshni se puch lijiyega, bin maa ki Bachhi Hai toh apko hi unse yeh sab baatei'n karni Hain," Ajmal told her

(Ask Roshni before doing anything,)

He had once made a mistake that he doesn't want to repeat
