It was a good, bright, full of new energy and sunshine April morning there in Islamabad and the city surrounded by lush greenery occupied hills was ready to get a new day started. Early morning walks, jogs, runs and yogas were going on. School buses were roaming around in different areas picking up children and then dropping them off to schools. Businessmen were ready for another stock market wars. Breakfasts were being made in houses, its aroma filling the streets.
Within that swarm of people there was a guy sleeping without any care of the world and the events happening around him. He was sprawled over his bed, snoring lightly a peaceful sleep took over him and he seemed carefree, he really was. His chestnut hair were a mess due to the tossing and turning he did during his sleep and his lips were turned into a cute little pout. A little smile formed on his face as he was happy in whatever dream he was having but then his dreamland was invaded by the shrill sound of a ring.
Trying to ignore it his eyebrows scrunched and he turned on the other side in an attempt to lower the sound but who was he kidding.
"Ye is waqt kis manhoos ko phone karne ki pari thi"
He groaned clearly not happy with the caller on the other side. Reaching out on his nightstand he picked his phone up and read the caller ID and seeing it he rolled his eyes and cut the call put it back and was going back to sleep when it rang again.
Giving up on his precious dream he got up and picked the call and put it on speaker before he could say anything a loud voice erupted in his room from the speaker of his phone.
"Dunia k saare kaam chor, nikamme, nikhatu log mare hon gy tab tumhari jesi hasti wujood mein aai hogi."
The sound was sweet but loud. But instead of smiling he listened without any expression on his face. When the person on the other side stopped after completing the sentence he spoke, his voice gruff and hoarse due to the beautiful sleep he was in just a few moments ago.
"Araam sy meri pyari singer sahiba aap k vocal chords sy boht sy logon ko pyar hy. Un ki to barbaadi na karein meri neend ka to wese he janaza parh dia hy aap ny"
Forcing a smile he stated. Just when he finished he got interrupted again by the girl on the phone.
"Abey sleeping beauty sote sote tumhara dimagh detune hogaya hy kia time dekho apni bhoori aankhein khol k or phir batana mujhe"
She was so done with him. Listening to her he looked towards the digital clock on his nightstand and then his eyes widened in horror, he jumped all his sleep long forgotten. He said into the phone
"KIA MATLAB 7 BAJ GAE!!!, tum ny mujhe uthaya kion nhi hy ab to hum donon maare jain gy"
"Excuse me Mr. Sleepy head pichle aadhe ghante sy phone to aap ki phuphi kar rahi hy na aap ko ab jaldi utho or apni tashreef ka toqra le k pohancho marna to hum donon ko hy magar tumhari maut painful na karwai to mera naam bhi Umeed Pasha nhi hy"
Listening to her with the phone kept between his ear and the shoulder he was already up and in the washroom, brushing his teeth. He pulled the toothbrush out of his mouth and spoke his voice unclear due to the paste in his mouth
"Allah tumhare jese dost mujh jese masoom logon ko de k aazmaata hy"
She on the other side rolled his eyes at the over dramatic friend of his.
"Azmaish to aap ki abhi shuru honi hy my dear Behram Sahab. Ab pohancho warna hum donon ko subah subah jannat mein pohancha de gi woh"
And with that she cut the call and he completed his morning routine got dressed in a black T shirt and a jeans. Ran his fingers through his hair not having the time to properly comb them. Picked up his shoes wearing them while running down the corridor with his phone in his hand. Reaching the main door of his house he picked up the car keys and the house keys from the key stand went to the porch started his car and drove off to Umeed's house to pick her up.
Reaching her house by travelling the 20 minute distance in 15 minutes he parked the car and pressed the horn. After approximately 30 seconds a girl came running outside the house. Her hair jet black, flying in the air. Her big doe eyes enhanced by the kajal she wore and a light pink lipstick adorning her gorgeous pink lips. She was wearing a white kurti and jeans. Pearls in her ears and a bracelet matching to the one on his hand with the initials UBM written on them. She wore a khussa and had two cups of coffee in her hands.
Sitting in the car she smiled and looked at him who already was greeting her with a sunshine smile of his. Forwarding the coffee cup to him she said
"Rise and shine dear best friend ab ise pio taake jo nasha neend ka tumhein chara hy woh utre kionke abhi tumhari waja sy hum donon ny jo zalaalat bardasht karni hy uske liay tumhare delay khule hona zaroori hein"
"Yar aaj to woh nhi chore gi. Flight 7 baje land honi thi or airport jaate jaate he aadha ghanta lage ga"
He said sipping on the coffee starting the car and putting it into drive. She replied
"Is baat ka khayal gaddhe ghore baich k sone sy pehle nhi aaya tumhein. Uper sy phone uthate huay tumhara bill aa raha tha na. Chalo ab jaldi karo jo hona tha woh hogaya"
He just hummed and finished the coffee passing the now empty cup to him he started driving on the way to the airport to pick up Mehmal, who's coming back to Pakistan after two years.
On their way Umeed spoke again
"Wese zalaalat apni jaga magar Mahi aa rhi hy na to aik apni khushi hy mujhe jese kuch khoya hua wapis mil raha hy"
Behram smiled and said
"Han yar I missed her a lot too. Ab aa gai hy na insufferable insaan setting karne hum donon ki."
And they both laughed getting ready to have a earful after reaching the airport.
Arriving at the airport and parking the car they ran towards the international arrivals lounge and found their third part Mehmal who they call Mahi standing there with her suitcase trolley besides her, an anxious look on her face and she kept checking her watch.
They ran towards her and her eyes found them her face lit up in the most beautiful smile of hers and she ran towards them jumping into both of their arms and said.
"Boht he manhoos ho donon wese time ka koi khayal nhi hy. Tum donon ki class mein raaste mein leti hun pehle mujhe sahi sy milo kameeno"
With that she hugged them both tightly with tears of happiness in her eyes and a contented smile on her face.
"I missed you so much mere crime partners for life"
This time Behram replied eyes sparkling with mischief
"Hamein to tum bilkul yaad nhi aai chalti phirti firecracker"
And he ran towards his car with Mehmal following him to beat him up and Umeed laughing while leading the man who came to drop the suitcase trolley to the car.

Meanwhile on the airport a handsome guy stood waiting for someone. He was wearing a well tailored suit which hugged his body at the right places. His hair nicely done, a watch shining on his wrist which he kept checking time to time. His foot was tapping on the floor and he was getting irritated as the time passed. Just when a girl caught his attention who was also standing there with her suitcase trolley beside her and looked like she was also victim of the thing he despises, wait.
But her suffering ended when a girl and a guy approached her and she ran into their arms. He smiled meekly and hid it quickly, as he had a reputation for being as hard as stone and he didn't wanted to affect it. He likes people who are loved and treated well. There are only two people in his life for whom he can do anything one is his mother and other is the person he's waiting for right now and that person is taking a lot of time to come out.
His thoughts were interrupted by a guy walking out of the arrivals' gate with a face mask on and he waved at him to get his attention. When the guy reached him and he took his mask off with the most gorgeous smile on his face with dimples adorning his well-sculpted face. He hugged him his heart warm after seeing his best friend after a long time.
"Wah aaj to meri qismat khul gai. Mashhoor business tycoon Rishael Ahmed bazaat e khud mujh na cheez ko lene aae hein. I'm impressed"
Both of them burst into laughter and hugged each other again. This time Rishael spoke
"Abey saale aik to importance deta hun tujhe is ka matlab ye nhi hy k ziada urne lag ja. Hulia dekh apna"
With that the guy looked at himself, he was wearing an oversized hoodie with trousers and joggers with headphones hanging around his neck and he chuckled before saying.
"Oye mere huliay py mat jana late hogaya tha isi liay jo mila pehan lia. Ab mein aap jesa ameer to hun nhi k har jaga suit pehn k phirun"
"Acha bus bus ab chal mujhe office jana hy or Amma tera raat sy intezar kar rhi hein k mera beta Farjaad aa raha hy. Pata nhi kia kia bana dala tere liay. Mujh sy ziada tujh sy pyar karti he meri maa"
Farjaad laughed again and said
"Han to tu kion jal raha hy meri maa bhi to hein woh"
He teased him and he just rolled his eyes heading towards the car they went to Rishael's home where his mother was waiting at the door for them with a smile, ready to welcome Farjaad. She loved him equally as she loves her own son. To her they both are her whole world and Rishael despite showing he's irritated by the attention Farjaad gets, considers him as his family and is always happy when he gets the love as same as himself.
"Aa gaya mera laal. Maa sadqay dekho zara kitna kamzor hogaya hy kuch khaya piya nhi hy kia tum ny. Ab dekhna kesi tuning karti hun mein tumhari"
Rishael's mom kissed Farjaad's forehead and said.
"Aik to maa aap ko pata nhi mein kion kamzor lagta hun acha khasa wait gain kia hy mein ny"
He calls her maa same as Rishael. She strictly asked him to do so. Farjaad lost his parents very early and he doesn't remember much about them he just knew he grew up into an orphanage and then met Rishael and they became each other's backbone. Both of them supported each other in their highs and lows and now they are inseparable.
"Chal drame baaz aa andar nashta tayar hy. Rishael samaan rakhwa do iska."
She replied with a little smack on his head and a soft giggle left her mouth. Farjaad looped his arms around her shoulder and they both went inside leaving a smiling Rishael behind shaking his head looking at the humans infront of him.
