Samabir burst into laughter looking at  Zainab's reaction.

"Excuse me! I guess we are going on a vacation trip. Can you please play some party songs?"
Zaiamb asked zain again this time sitting on her place.

"I have only these songs. If you have any problem then go and play yourself."
Zain said without turning in a stern voice.

"What the hell...??"
Zainab's mouth hung opened.

"Very sakht Larka he is!!"

(Tough guy!!)

Samahir added teasingly.

"Is Ali in touch with people just like him? Boring??"
Zainab asked.

" What we can say?"
Samahir rolled eyes.

"I don't want to hear such songs man!! I am getting serious  feeling that we are going on some operation."
Zainab pouted.

"Ok ok stop crying!! Let me change the song!!!"
Samahir said going towards driver.

She took cable and attached it with her phone and soon songs burst into speakers and all the girls exclaimed.

"Abhi to party shuru hui haiiii!!!"

(It's just the start of party!!)

Samahir winked and placed her phone on the side and headed back.

She was in mid when van jerked and she lost her balance and directly landed in Ali's lap with a swift motion.

All the soldiers turned their heads sideways.

No one exceot soldiers and Zainab knew about their relation.

Ali gave her "will you get up now?" Look and she quicky stood up.

"Ooh ho!!"
Zainab poked Samahir.

"Shut up!!"
Samahir rolled her eyes .

After some moments another song came up.

"Aa tery nakhry uthaun sanam!! "

(Let me pamper you my love!!)

"Aham aham !! You played this song for Ali. Isn't it??"
Zainab elbowed Samahir.

"Tauba hai! Esa sanam ho jiska wo nakhry uthanay k bajaey khud duniya se uth jy!!"

(The one who has such beloved will surely wanna die instead of pampering him!)

Samahir said making faces.

Music kept on playing with them enjoying their selves by chatting and sometime eating chips and other refreshments.

It was 10 in evening and it was too dark in van.

Almost everyone had dozed off.

Samahir knew that other soldiers still had some snacks but Ali didn't eat anything since afternoon.

She also knew he won't say.

She opened her hand bag and took biryani out which her mom made her.

Ali first looked at the lunch box and then at her who was standing beside him.

"Mom made for you!! Have it!!"
She said looking here and there.

Ali took a deep breath and she handed  box to him.

"Did you eat?"
Ali looked at untouched biryani and then held the corner of her duppata.

Samahir felt a slight pull and stopped but didn't say anything.
