"Woh....Mera phone," she quickly ran upstairs to take her phone, getting down she didn't saw Zaim

(My phone,)

Getting outside she found him already in car talking to someone on phone

She sat on passenger seat,

Hanging up the call he started the car

"Tumne ring kyu nahi pehni?" Glancing at her finger, he asked

(Why didn't you wore the ring,)

"Actually Zaim bha........." tongue tied, eyes winded, breath hitched when she realized what she was gonna call Zaim

Zaim also freeze for few seconds

"Woh... Thori tight thi," she quickly mumbled, while her face heating up in embarrassment

(It was little tight,)

Zaim drop her to her house after meeting with Ayesha and Laitf he left, saying he had important work in office

In evening he was on time to pick her up, while driving back to their house, he was thinking of his conversation with Latif Hussain

His uncle have so much trust in him to care of his daughter very well, and here he is being ignorant

Last night he told her his decision, didn't bothered to ask her what she wants, was he being unfair to her?

"Hanaya!" Stopping the car at red light, He called her who was looking out of window, she turned to him

And as if something happened inside of him, the way her lashes bowed then again raised, her lips softly parted permitting him to speak, her furrowed brows and her darkest shade of brown eyes which glows when exposed to sunlight was hidden behind her specs. Something inside of him moved, as if asking to be free from cage

The sound of horn made him break his trace, as he saw the light has turned green, clearing his throat he start the car,

"So you are shifting?" Fasih asked Urwa who was doing her packing

"Hm! Mamma papa ki bohot yaad aati hai, aur papa ki tabiyat bhi theek nahi rehti so...." She left her sentence incomplete, while putting her books in one box

(Hm! I miss mamma and papa alot, and nowdays papa is also not feeling very well so....)

"So now you'll live with mamu and mumani?" Urwa nod her head, when she was done with books, she went take photo frames from wall, Some were out of her height, to take them off she grab a stool and was about stand on it when Fasih interrupt her

"How about I take the frames down, until then you do something else," he suggested, Urwa nod her head thinking it was the best way to do packing

Fasih took down all the photo frames from wall, while making comments about them

The last photo which he took down was Urwa's high school farewell pic, where she was wearing black and blue saree

He suddenly remembered how Hayfa always warned him about Urwa's feelings

First he thought she is doing this because she didn't wanted Urwa to end up hurting herself. But, now he know why Hayfa did that

"All done?" Urwa was now done packing her kitchen utensils asked Fasih, making him startled

"Yeah! Done," putting the photo in box he shut it and said,

"Thanks for helping in packing, Naina ne toh last moment pe ditch Kar diya,"

"Koi nahi, bhook lagi Hai, kuch order Karu?" Sitting on the bean bag, Fasih already took his phone out to order something

(It's okay! I'm hungry, should I order something to eat?)

"Urwa!" He suddenly called her who was looking around if she missed something or....

"Ati rahogi na tum?" His question made her freeze,

(You'll come to meet me right?)

"Fasih!" When he entered his house late at night, Zaim was waiting for him in living room

He stopped walking and waited for Zaim to talk further

"Papa ki tabiyat theek nahi rehti kab Tak kaam karenge woh, Kal se office join karlo."

(Join office tomorrow,)

"Ji Bhai!" Bowing his head down he nod his head, he was about to go in his room when he heard faint sound of tickling,

Hanaya was coming down from stairs, in her night suit with a phone in her hand

"Your phone...... It was ringing countinously," she went to Zaim and handed him his phone,

Fasih turned to leave with a pnag in his chest, she didn't even acknowledge his presence.

That's what she is doing since one week of her marriage, if Fasih is present in same room as her she didn't acknowledge him, like he didn't exist for her

And avoid him as much as she can, to make thing easier for her he also doesn't go out in front of her,

But still what hurt him was the thought of Hanaya moving on from him so easily

Did she really forgot his love? Doesn't she feel guilty for moving on from him?

These thoughts make him more aggrieved

And the anger was enough to burn Hayfa.

"Hanaya!" Hanaya was preparing herself to sleep, when Zaim called her

"This is for you," he took a small box from side drawer of his side of the bed, and pass her

Taking it from him, she looked confused,

"Woh ring tumhari size ki nahi thi is liye,....." On Zaim's words, she opened the box and found a ring.

(That ring wasn't your size, that's why.....)

It was a simple rose cut diamond ring,

"Size check karlo, agar theek nahi Hai toh change ho jayegi," he add,

(If the size isn't yours, then it can easily be changed,)

"Nahi, it's perfect," putting the ring in her finger she said, although the ring was a little loosen but she didn't wanted to change it,

It was the first gift of her love. How can she change it?
