She acting as she wasn't feeling his gaze, but inside she was fidgeting,

In nervous she accidentally cut her finger with knife while chopping onion

"Ouch!" A whimper left her mouth,

"Kya hua?" His feet walked to her of their own and he hold her hand, blood were coming from her finger

(What happened?)

"Kuch nahi." She pulled her hand away from him and took few steps back from him while holding her bleeding finger, her tight tone made him realized he was crossing the line and standing too close to her,

(Nothing!)

"I'm sorry.... I was just checking,...."

"Yeh Kya ho raha hai?" His sentence was interrupt by Hayfa's voice, she was standing on the doorway looking at them with her wide eyes,

(What's going on here?)

They both stand far away from each other

"Tum dono ko zara so bhi sharm nahi aayi yeh sab karte hue...."

(Don't you two have any shame....)

"Hayfa tum galat samajh rahi ho,..." Hanaya started to explain themselves, where Fasih wasn't bothered

(Hayfa you are thinking wrong,.....)

"Main galat samajh rahi Hoon? Aur tum dono yaha Kya Kar rahe ho? Itne kareeb ek dusre ke? Aney do Zaim ko batati Hoon unhe, unki biwi unke peeche unke Bhai ke sath Kya Kar rahi....."

(I'm wrong? What you two were doing? Standing so close to each other? Let Zaim come from office I'll tell him what his wife was doing with his brother,)

"Hayfa enough! Hanaya ko chot lag gayi thi I was just checking on her, Tamasha banane ki zaroorat nahi Hai," Fasih said not liking Hayfa accusing Hanaya's character

(Hanaya hurted herself.... Don't make scene,)

"Tamasha Shaam ko hoga, Zaim ko aney do bas," she gave warning to both

(I'll make scene in the evening, let Zaim come,)

Hanaya opened her mouth to say something but Hayfa already left, she looked at Fasih and also left.

Although she didn't do anything but Hanaya was still scared

What if Hayfa really tell something wrong to Zaim?

What if he believe her?

She was busy in her thoughts when she felt something touching her feet, scared her pulled her feet away and saw a little ball of cotton beside her feet

Benting down she picked it, the white cat meowed at her

A smile broke on her face as she looked at doorway where Zaim was

"Raste mein ek pet shop dikha toh khayal aya ki Meri biwi ko cat pasand Hai toh......" Taking step forward her, he started saying. But they both stopped for one second when Zaim called her meri biwi.

(I saw a pet shop on the way and thought my wife loves cat so.....)

"Thank you!" Hanaya was the first one to break the silence again,

"Yeh Kya hua?" His eyes fall on the her finger where bandage was wrapped

(What happened to your finger?)

"Woh... Pyaaz kat-te waqt galti se kat gaya," she properly hold the cat in her arms and explained

(I was chopping onion and accidentally cut my finger....)
