Karachi, Pakistan..
It was Fajr time, around 5 a.m, an alarm sound was heard. A guy who was sleeping on his king size bed opened his beautiful eyes and saw it was dawn, his lips form into a adorable smile and he sat on his bed. He freshn up and spread his prayer mat. He did his prayer, the way he recite Quran will make anyone fall in love with the prophecy.
He finished his prayer and moved to the balcony, the sun rise on its glory, he closed his eyes feeling the fresh breeze on his skin.
There was a girl who was sitting beside him and her face was not clear. She kept her face on his shoulder and he smiled at her stroking her hair.
" this is so beautiful na sunny "
" U r more beautiful than that "
She blushed and he smiled at her, kissed her forehead.
He jerked away from his daydream and rubbed his face with his hands.. " Ye kya horaha hai mereko, who is that girl, I have never been close to anyone, then what's this, yah allah pls guide me in a right pathway. I don't want to do anything wrong"
He was on his thoughts he heard his mom calling him from downstairs " Haan ammi, aaraha hu "
He reached downstairs and saw his family was there except his brothers. He did salam to everyone and settled beside his dada and immediately his mom brought chai for him. He relished the taste of adrak chai.
Ammi " U and ur obsession with chai"
Shamsher " meri chai ko kuch mat bolo ammi, I m very possessive about my chai "
Everyone chuckled and continued talking.
Sham " Waise Dada, mujhe kuch puchna tha, kya mere koye nickname hai, sunny wagera "
His dada and others looked confused and nodded no " aise toh nahi hai, hum aapko bas naam se ya sher bulata hai "
He nodded and his mind wandered to his daydream. Chucking his thoughts, he got ready for the rest of day.

Lahore, Pakistan..
Fajr time, around 4. 30 am, a beautiful girl was sleeping on her bed, beside her there was a big teddy which she slept hugging on. A loud noise of alarm broke her sleep, she woke up with dropping eyes, but as soon as she saw the dawn, her sleep went off and she got fresh up immediately.
She did her prayers, her face was filled with utmost peace as she recite her duas, she prayed for the betterment of her family and this world, she prayed for the peace of country and love for everyone. She was lost in her prayers , when she opened her eyes it was about to sun rise. She closed her Quran and moved to the balcony. Her balcony was facing her beautiful garden which was adorned with colorful blossom. She smiled at her mother nature, moved inside and tied her hijab around her neck. Those beautiful eyes can make anyone fall for her, it radiates the innocence she own.
She moved downstairs to kitchen, prepared chai for everyone. Soon everyone came to lawn and they smiled seeing their princess.
She is like a fresh breath of air to the house. She gave everyone their chai and settled beside her abbu.
Muskan " salamalaikum everyone "
All " Waalaykumu salam princess "
Shah " r u sleepy princess "
Muskan " no bhai ,I m fine "
Ammi " Clg ye kya aaj "
Muskan " ji ammi, aaj aur kal hai"
Abbu " mein drop kardu "
Muskan " aap free ho aaj "
Abbu " yes, I will drop you "
She nodded and finished her chai.
She finished her chai and ammi asked everyone what they want to have for breakfast and lunch, dessert too.
Muskan got up and walked to kitchen when someone shouted laddoo, she turned in a reflex and saw her second brother.
Muskan " bhai, apne bulaya "
Ibu ( second brother ) " Tera naam laddoo hai, kabse .. Mein ammi ko bolrahe thi laddoo chahiye sweet mein "
Muskan "acha theek hai "
She went inside the kitchen and slide against the slab " ye kya hai muskan, laddoo tera naam nahi hai, toh tu kyu aise baar baar usko sunte piche mutke dehkti hai.. Y does this laddoo sounds so familiar."
She was in her thinking when her first bhabhi entered the kitchen " kiski khayalo mein koye huye "
She said in her teasing tone and Muslim blushed.
Muskan " Aise kuch nahi bhabhi "
Bhabi 1 " To kaise doll..mein bolu kya.. "
Muskan " ammi bularahe hai... "
She ran away from there and entered her room. She saw the calendar, still 4 days left for her bhabhi birthday. She kept her hand on her thuddering heart.
Muskan " Bas sochti hi aise haal horaha tereko muskan, kya hoga jab voh ayenge"
She smiled to herself and went to study for sometime. After that she left for her college and the day just went like that..
...........................................................................
Back to Karachi, Shamsher was in his office, he was looking into a presentation which was very important for his upcoming deal. He received a call making him smile, he followed the call and with a excited tone started talking to the person.
Shamsher " assalamualaikum Aapi, kaise ho.. I miss u so much "
His sister "Waalaykumusalam... We also miss you sher. Mein theek hu, tum bolo kaisa hai.. Ghar mein sab kaise hai "
Sham "Sab theek hai.. Wahan pe sab theek haina "
Aapi " sab ki baremein puchrahe hai ya ek ko puchrahe hai, u know "
Sham smiled " Kaise hi voh "
Aapi " she is good. Clg gaye abhi "
Sham " Hmm, take care of her. "
Aapi " okay janab, Kuch aur"
Sham" kuch nahi "
They started talking and after few minutes,
Aapi " Aarahe ho na Friday "
Sham " will i miss this opportunity "
Aapi " haan haan I know "
She laughed and he blushed.
Aapi " okay I will talk to u later, princess will be home soon"
Sham " haan, prepare something for her, make sure she eat properly "
Aapi " okay okay sher.. Bye "
Sham "love u aapi,byeee"
He kept his phone down and pulled a photo frame from his side drawer
" I m coming muskan, aapka sher aaraha hai aapse milne, pata nahi kyun jab bhi aapko dhekta hu ek aisa feeling aaraha jaise mein aapko ache se jaanta hu.. Pheli baar Jab aapko dheka tab hi aap humara mohabbat bangaye.. Mere dil aapke paas agaye, muskan ka hogaye.. "
He traced her photo in which she was wearing a black outfit with hijab over her head.
A knock broke his admiring session and he let the person enter the room. It was his younger brother Ayaz Khan, he looked at him with a teasing smile knowing whose photo frame it is.
Ayaz " ahem ahem, did I disturb ur admiring session "
Sham " Karliya na, ab bol kya chahiye "
Ayaz " ammi ka call aya, she said to bring gifts which she ordered for aapi from the store "
Shamsher nodded and the duo left for the store. They collected the dresses and jewels which she ordered when his eyes caught a beautiful evil eye pendent.
He took it and traced the pendent, he closed his eyes as he got his flashes of tying the evil eyes pendent to someone..
Sachi mere liye..
Gale mein phenogi toh zyada romantic lagega...
He opened his eyes, It was same pendent, he wondered what happening to him. Ayaz shooked him and he came out of his trance.
Ayaz " Kiskeliye, aapi keliye "
He asked knowing well for whom it is.
Sham " nahi, teri bhabhi keliye, abhi muh band kar apna "
Ayaz " bhai bhai nah rahe ab "
He wiped his fake tears and sham slapped on his back. Soon they left for home.

Back to Lahore,
Muskan entered her house after her clg and a smell of her bhabhi special briyani filled her nose. She walked to kitchen and saw she was preparing lunch for them. After hugging her and filling her details of what happened in her college, she moved to her room and did her afternoon prayer.
After that she moved to dining and had lunch with her ammi and her bhabhis.
Aapi " ammi, sher se baat huye mera aaj.. Voh log aarahe hai Friday "
With the mention of his name, her cheeks turned red and she blushed. Her second bhabhi nudged her and she smiled.
Ammi " Kaise hai sab wahan pe "
Aapi " sab theek hai, yahan sab ki khayal puchraha tha "
Ammi " Sher kitna acha hai.. Bohot pyaara hai bacha.. "
Muskan felt proud at that moment and she was feeling content. She liked him from the moment they met and she didn't know y, her heart beats rapidly on its own and just by the mention of his name, a smile broke into her lips. This feels like, they know each other from years, they don't know what this feeling is but what they know is, Sher and muskan belong to each other.
She remembered their first meet..
It was Nikkah of Two daughters of khan and two son's of Ahmed family. Their nikkah arraged by elders and being the biggest person of Karachi and Lahore, their wedding was a grand one. All big people from the city were present.
Shamsher was arranging for things, when he heard someone voice which was nothing less than a melody to him. He turned in a reflex and his heart stopped for a moment looking at the enchanting beauty in front of him. Unknowingly to him, " laddoo " he whispered.
His heart was beating erratically as she was coming near to him. She was dressed in a golden lehenga and a stone studded hijab covered her head, her face was covered with lil make up and she was talking to someone over phone.
As she came near him, he was just looking at her, she stood in front of him and cleared her throat which broke his trance.
Sham "assalamalaikum, kuch chaiiye aapko "
Muskan " Waalaykumusalam
aapko pata hai yahan shamsher kon hai "
She asked looking down, clutching her lehenga.
Sham " Ji voh mein hu "
Muskan " Bhabhi aapko Call kar rahe thi,apne nahi utaya, isiliye hum yahan agaye aapko dundke... Aap baat karo unse.. Mein chalte hu "
She left in a minute and he stood still captivating by her innocence.
He called his aapi who asked for certain things and he got her those things. He came to know about her through her aapi who looked amused seeing him interested in a girl for first time.
Muskan, on the other side, her situation was also same like him, her heart was beating rapidly and she doesn't know y. It was her first time, she never felt like this before. She don't talk with men usually, it was very rare for her to talk to outsiders, bcoz of her bhabhi request she came in search of him and that seems to be life changing moment for her.
Sher knows he was smitten by her and it was love at first sight for him. Muskan is his, he will make sure that happens "
She was brought back to present by her ammi who shooked her and asked what happen, she shrugged and left to her room after finishing her lunch.
She decided to take a nap when a usual dream broke into her sleep.
Tu mujhe bohot affect karti hai
Achi baat haina
Dil toh nahi todogi na
Pagal ye kya, Ek kaam karti hai, todne se phele, pakki karti hai march pe..
Hum bahar jake aur bhi pagal hojayenhe na...
She could not see the other person face but it become common for her to dream like this.
She woke up as its time for her Maghrib and did her prayer. The day ended on a good note for her.
