(But what I'm supposed to do so he'll reject you?)

"Kuch bhi Kar Dena,..... Unladylike behave karna...." Hamna suggested her own

(Anything,....... Behave unladylike.)

Next day she was in the cafe where hamna was supposed to meet the guy

She asked Hamna how will she recognize the guy but Hamna didn't had any pic of him as he also doesn't have any pic of Hamna

Which made their plan easy to proceed

A table was booked for them under the name Hamna and Armaan

She was here only for three minutes but already wanted leave

Many what if came in her mind

"Hamna?" She was arguing with her ownself when someone called her name

She looked up at the owner of the voice and found a guy in front of her

"Ar... Armaan?" She asked on which the guy nod his head and sat in front of her

"I hope you weren't waiting for me from so long..." After he comfortably sat down he said

"No... I just arrived..." Nervously laughing she said

Now where the nervousness came from?

Madiha was a confident girl but Armaan made her nervous

Maybe because due to his personality which she didn't thought will be this much appealing

Now she wonder if Hamna will able to reject him if she has saw Armaan

"Hamna!" His voice made her trace broke

"Huh? Sorry?"

"I was asking should we order something?" He said while thinking what's gotten with her

"Yeah!... Yeah!... We should..." Again with this nervousness

Armaan nod his head and called the waiter

"So... How's college?" When they were done placing their order Armaan asked her

"Good, little exhausting.... How's your job?... You are a pilot right? That's must be really excited."

"Um! It is...."

"How many countries you have been?" She who was wonderlust but never really travelled out of her state couldn't help but ask

"..... Ah.... Many countries I have been in...." Now this was his time to be nervous or as Madiha thought he is nervous

Maybe he doesn't want to talk about his job

Madiha didn't talked about his job more as waiter also came with their order

"Thank you!" They both said to the waiter same time which made both of them shocked as they didn't expected other to thanked the waiter

"I have met very few people who says thanks to waiters." Madiha said not hiding her surprise

"They don't thank because they think waiters as inferior,"

"And you don't think so," adding sugar to her coffee she asked Armaan who was mirroring her act

"I don't think so, everyone have different jobs and works that is making the country run, you don't give someone respect considering their status, you give them respect according to your status." He replied to her and his every words reflecting her heart

The same thought she have

"That's really thoughtful of you." In her mind she was telling Hamna how much lucky she would be if she married Armaan, he is a really nice guy

Armaan opened his mouth to say something but his voice was put down by another voice which didn't belong to Madiha

"Hey! Tum yaha?" A girl who was going to another table said and went to their table

(You here?)

Madiha first examine Armaan's reaction which cringed on the voice then the girl

Wearing a black top with denim jeans, red lipstick which suited her fair skin, her hair was put together in pony

She looked fashionable

"Haan! Woh actually I.... I was here..... I was here to meet a friend...." Nervously he said pointing at Madiha

Girlfriend?

First thought came in Madiha's mind

"Girlfriend?" The thought was Madiha's but the girl said it aloud

Armaan just nervously smiled at her

"Don't worry. I won't tell your parents, hey! I'm Syra, Zamin's cousin." She first said to Armaan then turned to Madiha

Taking her hand out she introduced herself to Madiha

Zamin?

"Hi!" Confusion in her eyes she took her hand in hers

"Chalo! I won't disturb you two.... Bye! Hope to meet you again." Syra said and left them alone

(Okay!)

"Zamin?" Madiha turned to to him and asked

"Don't be angry but... Actually I'm not Armaan,..." Sheepishly he said

"Explain!" She crossed her arms over her chest and sternly said

"Don't get angry but my friend Armaan didn't wanted to do arrange marriage and he told me to meet the girl as Armaan... Actually he doesn't believe ki ek mulaqat mein ladki pasand karlo and then marriage... I told him parents ki choice galat nahi hoti ................" He was explaining trying to save himself from the anger which was in Madiha's eyes, but his sentence was interrupt by Madiha's laugh

(You like girl in one meeting then marriage....... Parents never take wrong decision for their kid....)

"Why are you laughing?" He was expecting her to throw coffee at him but here she is laughing

"I'm sorry but... I'm not Hamna," controlling her laugh Madiha said

"Huh?"

"I'm Madiha! Hanna's friend and I'm here for same reason." Madiha shrugged her shoulder

"Oh!... Wow!" Zamin said as he leaned backward
