It was love first, or the lover

"Ammi (mother)". He shouted as soon as he entered inside the house and couldn't find his mother

"Meri Jaan (my life), I am here". His mother said

He turned around towards the stairs watching his mother gracefully walking downstairs towards him. Even if he sees her all day since birth he couldn't believe a strong-willed woman like her could ever exist. She had only turned 37 and he cannot live a day without her.

He went near her as she stepped down the last steps hugging her tightly, "You know I want to see you first thing".

His mother chuckles hugging her, "Sorry beta (son), your uncle is here".

He grinned, "Where is he now?".

"I am here". He heard his uncle Adam say

He turned around looking at him enter through the back door and he smiled running towards him, "Uncle, when did you come back?".

"Just a few hours ago". Adam replied smiling patting the boy's head, "I hope you were not too naughty when I was away?".

"Oh, Adam, you know him he can never be not naughty". Hamna (mother) replied walking towards the kitchen

Adam looked at her going away then looked back at her son who was grinning at him, "What?".

"You love her, right?". Mustafa (son) said smiling softly

Adam walked to the couch, "Love is not exactly a word I would use. It's Ishq what I have for her".

Mustafa frowned, "What's the difference?".

Adam smiled thoughtfully, "Love is what today generation do in which you look at the person, speak a little and say that you love them, by words. Ishq is when you cry for that person, begged your lord to write them in your faith, fight for them and wait for them all your life. That is the purest and strongest bond".

"Do you know how much fun it will be if we go there". Zunaira asked smiling at Mustafa

Mustafa smiled back a little, "I guess".

"No, we have to go together". She insisted

"It's late, Zunaira". Zohaib said not liking her attitude

She passed him a tight smile, "We are young we can enjoy, a little".

"No, we cannot. I have to be home". Awais said rolling his eyes

"Same, I need to go. See you". Mustafa said running away towards his driver

"Mustafa-". Zunaira yelled but was cut off

"You are trying too hard". Zohaib said

"What is not meant for you will never be yours, Zunaira, even by force". Awais said walking away
