7)🍂

Palwasha was in the park which was near her house, she offer came here with Jannat but now she doesn't think she will have the same relationship with Jannat as it was before

She doesn't hold any grudge against her but still she couldn't be in good term with her

Walking aimlessly around when she got tired she decided to sit under a tree

Sitting there she heard a faint sound of meowing, she looked around trying to find the owner of the sound but she didn't found any cat

But then she realized the sound wasn't coming from around but upward

She raised her head and saw a small kitten on the thin branch that looked like it fill break any moment

Palwasha quickly got up

"Hey! Come down," she called the cat as if the cat will understand her

"Tum gir jaogi! Niche aao," she again tried to prove her point but the cat just meowed at her

(You will fall, come down,)

She didn't know what to do now, she really wanted to help the cat but she doesn't know how to climb tree

Only if Zamin was here! She thought

She looked around to find help for the cat and she found one,

"Excuse me!" She called the person who was slowly walking around the park his back was facing her

Hearing her call he turned

"Idhar aiye!.... Haan aap!" He looked behind him to see if she is talking to him or someone else

(Come here!.... Yes you!)

When he found no one he came to her

"Do you know how to climb tree?" He nod his head

"Great! Woh dekhiye poor thing got stuck there, go and take her down," she pointed the the branch where the cat was

(Look!)

"Um... Woh....."

(Um.... Actually....)

"Kya woh? Jaiye! Yeh mujhe dijiye," she saw a black stick in his hand

(Actually what? Go! Give this to me,)

Which he passed it to her and started climbing tree, Palwasha didn't focus on him but the stick

It didn't looked like the one someone use to support them walking or something

It was only maybe two inch long,

Why does he need this for? Examine it she thought didn't realize when he climbed up, picked the cat and got down

"Oh thank you so much!" She took the cat from him

"Achha khase dikhte Hain aap, iski Kya zaroorat Hai?" Palwasha couldn't help but ask when she saw him taking his stick

(You look healthy then why do you need this?)

"Yeh mujhe mere psychiatrist ne lene ke liye kaha hai........ confidence ke liye," taking the stick closer to him he said as if she will snatched it from him

(My psychiatrist has suggested me this.......for confidence,)

"Oh!" Although she didn't understand but said as she knows

"Waise apki cat...... bohot cute hai," he add when he saw she didn't made any move to leave

(Your cat..... Is cute,)

"I'm Palwasha! And sorry I haven't saw you before here,"
"I'm Mohid! I........ I just shifted in house number....... house number 16,"

"House number 16? Which means you are my neighbour,"

"That's......That's good thing.... I hope to see you again," he smiled, the two minutes of talking made him exhausted as he wanted to leave but she wasn't looking in the mood of leaving

"Yeah! See you around," Palwasha understood his introvert nature and left

He remind her of Jannat, when Palwasha first time met Jannat she was also stuttering and always made excuse to be alone

Thinking about Jannat again made her sorrowful, she was here to take her mind off from them, but here again she is thinking about them

The cat meowed in her arms making her realize of her presence

"Yeh Meri beti Hai, Palwasha!" When she entered her house she saw her mother seated with a lady

(She is my daughter Palwasha,)

She thought sneaking into her room without coming in her mother's eyes

"Palwasha! Yeh humare pados mein shift hui hai,"

(Palwasha! She just shifted in our neighborhood,)

"ASSALAMUALAIKUM aunty!" Palwasha greet her and quickly left for her room, hiding the cat in her dupatta so her mother won't notice

Inside her room she realized that aunty must be Mohid's mother

<><><><><><><><><><><><>

She again sneeze for fifth time

"Shukr Alhamdulillah!" She whispered while taking tissue near her nose

The weather in Switzerland was colder then in India, Jannat being sensitive catched cold easily

"Jab tumhe pata tha ki tumhari tabiyat jaldi kharab ho jati hai toh dhyaan rakhna chahiye tha," Zaid scold her as he ordered hot soup for her

(When you know that you easily catch cold you should have take care of yourself,)

He had a important meeting but he stayed back because he didn't wanted to leave her alone in this state,

"I'm fine! Aap apni meeting mein jaiye," as she said that another sneeze left her nose

(You should go to your meeting,)

"I can see how much fine you are," Zaid nod his head

Someone knock on the door

Zaid got up and opened, saw room service boy with a bowl of soup that he ordered for Jannat

"Yeh peelo, achha lagega," he placed the tray in front of her

(Drink this, you'll feel better,)

Seeing the hot soup in front of her, Jannat's nose cringe but due to uneasyness in the presence of Zaid she didn't said anything

Zaid couldn't noticed her reaction as he had to make phone call to his assistant

She took a sip of the soup and thought something is weird

"Kya hua?" Zaid who was done talking on phone saw her facial expressions and asked

(What happened?)

"Nothing!" Jannat quickly shook her head negatively and had another sip of the soup

No matter how weird it taste she didn't dared to say anything to Zaid

Afraid he will get angry

That first he had to cancel his meeting because of her and now she is making fuss when he ordered soup for her
