(No, is sitting with Bilal, both have not slept.)

She nodded.

" Usne kuch kaha aap se? "

(He said something to you?)

" Abhi toh nahi, lekin dekhte hain shayad kuch bole. "

(Not yet, but let's see if he says something.)

" Khala keh rahi thi ki vo aaj aapke sath so jaye. Aapko koyi dikkat toh nahi hogi? ", her gaze went to her father who was taking a cup of tea to their room, probably for her mother. A smile formed on her lips.

She has seen this man scolding, guiding, loving, caring and adoring her mother and the woman returning the favor with full zeal. They had fought on the trivial of matters, they had their differences just like Arshad's parents, but the two couples had never let the bond they share, weaken.

(Khala was saying that he should sleep with you today. You won't have any problem?)

" Mujhe koyi dikkat nahi. Aur sahi bhi hai Umair ko time chahiye yeh jo hua use samjhne ke liye. "

(I don't mind. And it is also right Umair needs time to understand what happened.)

Kashaf glanced at him who tiredly rubbed his face. His shaggy hair now matted on his forehead. Her hand about to touch his forehead before she held herself back.

" Aaj office mein zyada kaam ho gaya? "

(Got more work in the office today?)

" Haan.. matlab nahi zyada nahi bass voh naya project liya tha na ussi silsile mein thakaan hai. "

(Yes.. not much, just took that new project, that's why I was tired.)

" Aapke liye chai laun? "

(Should I bring tea for you?)

" Nahi chai peene ka mann nahi kr raha. Bass thora kaam dekhkr sounga. "

(No, do not feel like drinking tea. I will sleep just after seeing a little work.)

" Koyi zarurat nahi hai kam krne ki raat mein. Araam karein so jayein, subah uthkar krlijiyega. Main bhi sone chali. "

(No need to work at night. Rest and sleep, wake up in the morning and do it. I am also going to sleep.)

" Haan haan thik hai. Shabba khair. "

(Yeah okay, good night.)

" Shabba Khair. "

They went to their respective bedrooms.

...

Kashaf hitched her back up as she moved out of the college after giving her last Finals. The last month has been a mess.

With every night talks to Sanam's unborn child to studying till 2 AM and cramming the half of her mathematics syllabus with the help of Arshad and her mother's constant nagging for her disturbed health while the continuous constant shrieks of Bilal for her attention, which was only for him before her final's preparation started.

And now she was finally free from this college and ready to relax and explore.

" Abba nahi aaye lene? ", she asked as she reached Arshad leaning against the Black fortuner, his hand casually tucked in his jeans pocket while his other one using the one. He was dressed casual, a simple blue tee and light washed Jeans.

(Father didn't come to pick me?)

" Ghar par bethak hai vahan hain vo. "

(He is there in a meeting there at home.)

" Koyi masla hua hai? "

(Is there any issue?)

" Nahi, bass kuch masjid ke silsile mein aaye hain. "

(No, just some have come in for some discussion mosque.)

" Accha. Aur aapke office ka kya? "

(Oh. And what about your office?)

" Bhai ne aaj chutti de di, project khatam hone ki khushi mein. "

(Bhai gave leave today, in happiness of the completion of the project.)

" Chalein fir Finals aur project ki khushi ka chota sa celebration karte hain. "

(Let's then do a small celebration of the finals and the happiness of the project.)

" Haan, ek aur khushi ki baat hai. "

(Yes, another good thing.)

" Kya? " (What?)

" Sanam Khala ka aaj check up tha, baby bilkul healthy aur fit hai aur khala bhi bilkul theek hain. Unka fifth month acche se start hua hai. "

(Today Sanam Khala had a check up, baby is absolutely healthy and fit and Khala is also fine. Their fifth month has started well.)

" Allah kare aisa hi aage bhi sahi rahe. "

(May Allah keep this right even further.)

" Maine kaha tha Allah unhe mohobbat aur wafa ka ajar dega. Unhe unka ajar ek healthy baby ke roop mein mil raha hai. "

(I said no, Allah will give her a reward for love and loyalty. She is getting her reward as a healthy baby.)

" Kaha toh aapne sahi tha, ho raha hai yakeen in rishton par ab. "

(You said it right, now I am believing in these relationships.)

" Yeh toh acchi baat hai, aao ice-cream khate hain. Fir kaju katli leni hai Umair ke liye. "

(This is a good thing, lets go for ice cream. Then we will take cashew sweet for Umair.)

" Haan, chalein. "

(Yeah, lets go.)
