As the bright, vibrant and cheerful event of the grand mehndi lit and brought the gardens to chirp and chime from a mix of wedding songs along with endless laughter and chatter from the joyous kids...
It was as meerub, once rushing back with shakey legs from the scene which had taken place with murtasim at the back of the gardens and had left the girls heart jumping a rushed beat, had taken her seat back on the plush of the cushions adorning the grand stage, when admist the cheerful clapping and chirping chatter which went on between the kids, meerubs mental state frantically raced while her heart refused to calm from that drumming beat...
The girls stomach flipping and twisted to knots while the gentle blush which coated her cheeks felt impossible to brush away or conceal. Her chest heaving with soft yet harsh breaths from the frantic run, while a sort of embarrassment from her own flustered reaction to him brought the girls face and neck to burn a gentle warmth as her heart jumped...
Uff!!! Aik tou iskey samney dimagh kiu band ho jata hai?!?
Thought the girl with a huff, pulling her lips to a line at the scene replaying in her rushed mind as it seemed all thoughts had gone dark for the girl after his cheeky act which had meerubs cheeks burning in a flaming heat...
Yet despite the frazzled state of the girls mind with the scene endlessly repeating, meerubs lips curled to a gentle smile in attempts to conceal that growing blush while her doe eyes, now wide and flooded with a sort of nervousness, darted around rapidly...
As the clapping along to the songs went on, the mehndi adorning her palm, tracing gentle yet full designs over the creamy surface, had now been dried crisp as meerub had wiped it off in the midst of her frantic thoughts once taking her seat to reveal a bright, crimson red now painting her palm gorgeously...
While the chiming of her bangles were accompanied by the gentle petas of the gajra caressing her skin which he had slipped on just moments ago, the bright orange of the sweet scented gajra complementing her attire gorgeously as it rested gently over her creamy wrist, sliding up and down with each soft clap along with the drumming of the dholak and songs bringing the girls breath to hitch when the gentle feel of his act came rushing to her mind despite meerubs desperate attempts to brush it away...
The warmth of his hands, his slow moves and the mere effect of his gaze when sliding on the gajra coming racing back and bringing meerub to gulp hard from the way her throat dried at the idea while the put on smile which played on meerubs lips dared to grow wide with the bright crimson of her blush deepening...
Her gaze shooting over the vibrant shades coating the grand of the stage while the giggles and chirping of songs seemed to be a blur, as meerubs lips now twitched to a wide curve of both embarrassment along with the flustered state which flooded her mind, a heat rushed through the girls form at the way the scene replayed through her rushed thoughts...
When admist the chirping of songs taking over the gardens with meerub desperately attempting to brush her embarrassment and thoughts away, it wasn't long later when murtasim, with his hands held behind his back, strolled into the joyous and chiming situation of the gardens, the music and drumming in contrast to the silence of the shaded area which the scene had played out in as murtasim seemed to have trouble when doing his best to calm the drumming of his own heart...
A gentle curve adorning his lips as his eyes, dark and hooded, seemed to dart over and trace the vibrant shades taking over the area before shooting and fixating to the girl, as murtasims gaze locked to meerub once spotting her, the curve playing over his lips seemed to grow in delight when catching the sight which had the memory of his own cheeky act flooding back...
His heart giving jumps from the thought while his frozen steps grew slow and mind rushed as it wasn't long before murtasim, with a thumping heart and coiling stomach, made his way up the stage to take his previous spot...
His heart flooded from a sort of glee as murtasims gaze stayed locked to the girl, while his moves were swift when taking the few steps up the vibrant of the steps. As murtasim, with gentle steps and a ringing mind had soon reached the grand stage where chiming of songs continued, the kids didnt take long before hurriedly gesturing for him to take his seat upon his arrival...
When as murtasim, with a soft smile strolled to his seat, meerubs daze seemed to snap upon the mention of his name ringing around from one of the kids as it wasn't long before the girls alert gaze went darting up, yet just for meerubs coiled up stomach to give another twist when her wide eyes landed on the surprising sight...
Murtasims eyes flooded with a sense of mischief when his gaze glued to her, a gentle smile of sheer tease refusing to leave his lips as his brows gently furrowed, clearly hinting to the mischief which rushed through the state of his frantic mind, yet as meerubs smile dared to fade at the sight with her heart giving a jump, murtasims smile only grew as his chest heaved with a deep breath when swiftly and slowly taking his seat on the stage with gazes still locked in a cheeky exchange...
While meerubs heart now began to full on thump from the way his brow arched at the girl once taking his position, the tease glimmering in his dark eyes bringing the thought to come flooding back as the memory of her frazzled reaction once more came rushing in the form of a warmth coating the girl once coursing through her form...
A shiver rushing up meerubs spine as the girl felt her stomach knot, while her cheeks now once more coated and burned in the warmth which rushed through her from his mere gaze. Yet now with meerubs eyes shot wide and smile fully fadded as attention was fixted to her warming cheeks, the girls rushed mind soon rang with realization of just how frazzled and embarrassing her reaction was now...
The realization of the reason his smile grew rushing through her mind as the red painting her cheeks seemed more then obvious, while the way her wide eyes locked with his dark and narrowing ones brought meerubs heart to jump. And so it wasn't long after realization came rushing in the form of a heat, when the girl found her parting lips pursing to a tight line in slight annoyance...
Uff Allah meerub!!! Wakai thori acting seekh hi leni chaiyey thi...
The thought went rushing through the frantic state of her mind as a soft huff escaped meerubs lips from just how terribly she attempted to contain composure, the pink of her cheeks deepening when meerub didnt take long before narrowing her wide eyes which locked with his, doing her level best to put on a casual demeanor despite the jumping of her heart as the girl furrowed her brows and let out a soft breath before frantically and somewhat casually averting her gaze in attempts to contain composer...
Yet just for murtasim, who watched the sight with an amusing smile, to find his heart fluttering at the reaction which brought his smile to grow. Her casual yet obviously fake demeanor bringing murtasims lips to curve and heart to jump as the sheer nervousness and slight embarrassment still lingering in the doe of her eyes which had darted away had murtasims brows shooting up...
A sense of delight flooding his senses when murtasim slowly leaned back on his seat while keeping his gaze locked to the girl. Yet meerub, when feeling the intensity of his gaze despite hers flickered away, soon found a soft smile daring to grace her lips as the girl went on to clap away to the songs, her heart drumming and chest heaving as meerubs mind rushed from a sort of glee when putting on a smile for the grinning and giggling kids who gazed to her from time to time...
Yet admist the jumping of her heart, unbearable twists her stomach gave and the way meerubs gaze threatened to flicker back to murtasim who kept his eyes locked to her, it wasn't long after the cheerful drumming and clapping when suddanly, cheerful, loud wedding songs began to play and flood the gardens in a sense of delight...
The chiming of the songs catching guests and the kids off guard as all gazes darted to the center of the grand gardens where a stage vibrantly gleamed from the brightest of shades, the gold of the bright sun glittering down over the grand area and coating it gorgeously as the chiming of music and drums was the cue of the well awaited and practiced performances to begin...
As the kids, when freezing in their places upon hearing the chime of songs, soon found grins of pure delight creeping up and plastering to faces, meerubs mind had failed to register the meaning of the sudden songs and chiming, cheerful giggles which began to ring around as it seemed admist the rush of frantic thoughts and acts which had been playing out since the event began, meerubs frantically rushing mind had blurred out the thought of the grand dance which the kids practiced for...
And so as the girls doe eyes, wide and flooded with surprise, fixted to the dance floor while giggles and chatter rung in her ears, meerubs brows soon gently furrowed while her eyes began to narrow, the pinks of her lips parting in growing confusion which had her mind racing when suddanly, as the grinning and giggling girls rose from their seats in growing excitement, it wasn't long after when meerubs eyes shot wide as the kids had grabbed to the girl and tugged her up...
Meerub: yeh kya-
She began blurting out in utter confusion, the act the kids had swiftly pulled by tugging meerub up from her seat and off the floor bringing her jaw to drop and mind to rush as the girl came to stand in sheer surprise, gazing around to the grinning and chatting kids with her narrow eyes shooting before haya, grinning with excitement glittering in her wide eyes playfully clicked her tongue...
Haya: yaar meerub, performance!!!
The girl spluttered out and reminded in a rushed, frantic tone, a grin playing over her lips when grabbing to and tugging on the dumbstruck meerubs arm when suddanly, the thought and realization ringing through her rushed mind from hayas words had meerubs brows shooting up and eyes growing wide as the girl let out a dramatic gasp, her heart now giving a jump in sheer surprise along with a boost of excitement when the realization took over the girls rushed mind as giggles of delight soon broke out within the cheerfully grinning crowd...

As murtasims narrow eyes, flooded with confusion, fixted to the overwhelming brightness of the stage, the crowd of vibrantly dressed girls had soon made their way over down towards the stage to begin with the well awaited performance which had the guests at the function cheering from sheer delight...
The chiming of the wedding songs went on to ring around while getting louder by the second, rushed chatter flooding the area accompanied by the sweet chiming of jewellery which adorned the vibrantly dressed and overly excited girls as grins now plastered to faces, when as meerubs heart thudded hard and lips now also curved to a grin of sheer glee from the thought, it wasn't long later when the kids went rushing to the dance floor, sprinting and giggling away as cheers of delight from the joyous crowd who watched the scene broke out just to chime around the area...

Meerub standing admist the vibrant crowd, with her rosey lips twisted to a grin of sheer delight, felt her heart race and pound from the boost of adrenaline at the booming of music and chirping giggles when the kids rushed to their positions, her cheeks tinged a bright pink while her mind was now racing too fast as the previous racing nervousness and embarrassment had now faded within a moment from the glee which had overshadowed it...
When as the dance begun, murtasim, watching with his lips parted and eyes wide, found a soft breath leaving him when gazing to the amusing and energized sight, his face dropping and eyes shooting wide as despite the crowd of girls who jumped and rushed around in a vibrant display, murtasims gaze seemed to solely fix to meerub, the scene bringing his eyes to go dark while glittering with awe as his heart now began rushing and drumming a harsh beat...
Gentle giggles of sheer delight spilling from her pink lips as meerubs hair swayed and bounced with every swift step, the chiming of her heavy jewellery mixing with the cheers of the crowd as it rung around the stage, while the gentle swaying of her form, the twirling and the bouncing which the girl did with grace had murtasim, who watched with a foggy mind and thumping heart to simply lose breath...
The gentle yet swift steps to the energized songs which rung around had meerub twirling as giggles went on to escape her, her moves swift yet graceful as every turn, soft jump and swerve of her form had murtasims heart giving harsh jumps. His gaze solely locked the vibrantly dressed girl letting out giggles of sheer delight when gracefully yet swiftly moving to the upbeat rythm as his mind seemed to go blank, all senses and focus on the beauty, lit from the gold of sunlight, twirling and laughing out sweetly just ahead of him bringing breathing to go forgotten for a while...
As meerub swayed in a synchronized dance with the rest of the giggling and overjoyed girls, the sheer delight etched to her features with soft, chiming giggles escaping the girl had murtasims stomach flipping, his own lips twitching and threatening to pull to a curve of glee which shot through his form when gazing to and admiring the amusing yet energized sight...

The sweet expression of sheer delight playing over her face bringing murtasims lips to plaster to a smile of amusement as the fantasizing sight had his mind shutting off. As meerub would usually be the one to dance at weddings, murtasim would find himself teasing the girl in the past at her antics, yet now when finding the moment to enjoy the performance, the awestruck murtasim found himself falling to a trance from just how gracefully she swayed, the excitement glittering in her doe eyes and the cheerful giggles leaving her lips bringing his heart to jump from growing delight...
When finally, after staying lost in a daze which had the music simply echoing through the area while the vibrant colors surrounding the girl had faded with solely meerub being the center of his attention, it was after the well practiced, in synch and energized dance when the overjoyed crowd burst to cheers and playful claps at the performance bringing grins of delight to play and plaster to the faces of the girls...

Saba: Yaar kasam se! Aaj tou maza hi aagaya!
The giggle of tease escaped her lips as saba sighed out. As the event of the mehndi followed by the long and eventful day had fled by at the havaili, a silent and much more relaxed night had now fallen and graced the havaili in a relaxed situation as meerub, now dressed for the night lay on her stomach over the plush mattress over her bed...

The girl spoke as her tone grew hushed, her words heavy from mischief while meerubs eyes simply shot wide when processing the words which had her stomach knotting...
Meerub: Aisa kuch nahi hai!
She spluttered out the words which popped in her rushed mind, shaking her head frantically while huffing out, meerubs lips pulled to a pout as the girl found her cheeks heating up when going on with the explanation...
Meerub: Mere hath pe mehndi lagi thi... tou usney pehna dia...
Said meerub softly, her brows furrowed and eyes wide when shooting around in hopes that the explanation was believable, yet just for a chiming giggle of delight to escape saba...

She began softly, recalling the event with a growing smile, yet just to trail off as meerubs lips parted when listening close...
Saba: Perfomance di aapney, laikin saansey aapkey hero ko nahi aarahi thi!
Saba went on, throwing one surprise after another when recalling catching murtasims frazzled and amused state after the grand performance...
Yet only for meerubs mind to rush and expressions to paint with growing confusion at the words which left her nose scrunching up...
Meerub: Hain?!
Blurted out meerub, tilting her face to the side from growing confusion along with striking curiosity at the words to which saba hummed along...

Said the girl when wagging her brows, once more looking back to the scene which meerub was unaware of as the words had meerubs brows shooting up...
Her gaze shooting around while her heart fluttered at the thought as meerubs lips pouted when daring to twitch to a gentle curve, yet as meerubs mind rushed with her stomach knotting and hearts giving sudden jumps, the mischievously grinning saba simply hummed out before going on...

Said the girl swiftly followed by a giggle, her words snapping meerub right back in her senses as a heat rushed through the girls form upon catching the tease...
Yet just for meerub, with burning cheeks and a flipping stomach, to knot her brows once more while pulling her lips to a tight line of annoyance...
Meerub: Phone band kar saba!!!
Warned meerub with a huff, pouting her lips in attempts to contain that threatening smile to which saba simply giggled out from further tease at the clearly frazzled reaction which meerub failed to conceal...
Saba: Kar rahi hu band! Bas baat meri na bhulna!
Giggled out the girl, her words tinged with tease as they soon brought meerubs brows to furrow before the girl playfully rolled her eyes...
Not wasting a beat before pulling the phone from her ear as meerub shut the call with a curve daring to play over her lips. When as the room went silent with sabas giggling finally coming to a break, meerub, with her cheeks burning and wide eyes darting around the room, soon found her lips twisting to a gentle smile...
A sense of delight rushing through her form from the words which repeated through her rushed mind as the girl gulped. When admist her running thoughts and the burning heat which just went on to spread, meerub soon found her eyes lighting with a thought as the girls face lit up, as with slow moves and pouty lips, meerub soon found her gaze flickering from the plush mattress which it darted on towards her side table...
Yet just to land over the sweet scented, vibrantly orange gajra which she had slipped off along with the rest of the jewellery upon arriving to the havaili, the gajra which rested over her side table while the scent wafted through the room bringing the girl to gulp from a thought, her thoughts rushed and heart drumming a gentle beat as meerub, with her teeth unknowingly digging to the plump of her lip, soon found her moves unable to control as the girl reached to grab at the gajra...
Leaning over the plush of her bed as her fingertips soon brushed with the cool petals of the gajra, the feel bringing meerubs breath to hitch as without missing a beat, she soon gently grabbed to the gajra, pulling it back when sitting up straight, with her gaze locked to the gentle, cool petals held in her hands, it wasn't long later before the memory of the whole scene came flooding back in the form of a soft heat...

⚜⚜⚜
As the silent night rushed at the havaili with sleep being no problem to drift into thanks to the rush and hectic situation of the past day which had left the kids exhausted, it was as another cheerful yet much relaxed morning graced the havaili with the gold hues of early sunlight lighting the halls and flooding the havaili in a gorgeous glow...
As the second half of the weekend had arrived in the form of a relaxed morning since the past day had been overly rushed, the dining room as always flooded and chirped with chatter accompanying the grand breakfast in the midst of being served, the clinking of plates along with conversation taking over the lively dining room before admist the gentle chatter, meerubs booming and cheerful tone came bursting through the air as the girl bounced over when dressed for the day...
Meerub: Asalamualaikum!
Chirped the girl sweetly, a grin playing over her lips as meerubs gaze shot between the crowd which seated at the dining table, yet just to elicit smiles from the adults and kids when the girl made her way bouncing to her seat...
Maa begam: Walaikumasalam beta...!
Greeted maa begam sweetly, nodding and gazing to meerub who smiled wide before swiftly slipping into her seat with all gazes now flickering between her and the kids...
Anila: Raat neend khair se aagai?
Asked anila softly, arching a brow when gazing to the delighted girl as meerub didnt miss a beat before reaching to fill her glass with the cool of juice placed in the center of the table...
Meerub: Aisi wesi! Kaal ke function ne tou thaka ke rakh dia!
The girl answered without missing a beat, shaking her head and pouting her pink tinted lips as her words earned meerub hums of agreement from the rest of the exhausted kids...
Wakas: Chalo aaj tou university se chooti hai na... araam karlena!
Wakas soon laughed out the words with a nod, gazing between the kids who smiled wide at the words while sighing out in relief. Yet as gentle conversation regarding the event went on, kinza, seated with a smile, soon found her gaze darting to murtasim who seemed indulged in both breakfast and conversation with a gentle smile playing over his lips...
Kinza: Murtasim...
The girl called out to get his attention, her words ringing through the dining room to reach murtasims ears as his wide shot eyes soon darted to the girl with his smile beginning to fade...
Murtasim: Hm...?!
Murtasim simply answered with a hum, tipping his head to the side and gently furrowing his brows to which kinza smiled. When as the exchange between the two begun, meerub, who began to chug her juice, soon found her own alert ears catching the call of his name as her gaze soom shot to the two in confusion...
Kinza: Wo... tum free ho tou mujhey mall le jao ge?
The question left the girl softly and followed by the tip of her head, kinzas lips still playing that smile when gazing to murtasim who's smile had now completely fadded while his brows knotted, while meerub, who's gaze shot between the two, found her own eyes narrowing at the words while a sort of annoyance already began rushing through her mind...
Murtasim: Mall...?
With confusion laced to his soft tone, murtasim repeated the words with the tilt of his head, gazing to kinza with narrow eyes yet just for her smile to grow...
Kinza: Han, wo mehndi ke liey aik suit lia tha, pasand nahi aya tou socha return kardu!
Explained the girl with a nod, her words bringing murtasim, who found himself stuck in the situation as the adults also watched the scene, to simply nod while flashing the girl a small smile before bringing his attention back to breakfast...
While meerubs eyes just narrowed to slits, annoyance racing through her mind from the exchange which had her cheeks heating for some reason while her lips curled to a pout. When as meerubs mind rushed with both irritation and confusion of her own thoughts, the girl soon found her eyes lighting with a thought as they shot wide before meerub began...
Meerub: actually-
The girl began blurting out the words which popped to her mind, meerub herself not knowing why the thought had rushed through her mind and why she even began to speak from the sudden irritation as gazes soon darted and locked to the girl upon the sudden words...
Meerub: Wo- mainey saba ke ghar jaana tha...!
The bluff escaped her lips without a second thought, meerubs wide eyes flickering around the table before darting and fixating to murtasim who's gaze already glued to her...
His brows furrowing from the sudden words as murtasims mind rushed when burning the girl with his gaze before anila, with knotted brows and a pout chimed in...
Anila: Saba ke ghar? Kiu beta?
She questioned softly, looking to meerub with the wag of her brows to which the girl shot anila a soft smile before going on with the swift excuse...
Meerub: Mama shaadi ki tyaario ke liey usney bulaya tha!
Said meerub with a nod, not knowing why exactly she went on to blurt words which popped to her mind while murtasim, who watched the amusing scene unfold, soon found his brows shooting up. Murtasims mind ringing with realization of what the words meant as his heart fluttered while his lips threatened to tug and plaster to a curve of delight...
When as meerub, after earning nods and smiles from the adults, brought her gaze shooting back to lock with his, the girl felt her breath hitch at his dark, hooded eyes cleary shimmering from tease, the gentle curve now playing over his lips bringing meerub to take a soft breath before the girl pouted her lips from another ringing thought which left her stomach churning...
Meerub: Agar tum chordo ge tou...
The girl began softly, suggesting the words which popped in her rushed mind with no second thought when gazing to and pouting her lips at the smirking murtasim. When as his brows shot up at the words, kinzas brows had completely knotted while the girls eyes narrowed to slits when gazing at the sight...
Murtasim: Han... Chor dunga!
Murtasim answered without missing a beat, his words swift and accompanied by the tilt of his head and gentle pout of his lips when keeping gazes locked to meerub who's heart fluttered...
The girls lips daring to twist to that gentle smile which had already begun tugging at the corners while meerubs eyes playfully narrowed when gazing to him, yet just to break the growing daze, maa begams soft tone soon came bursting through the room and bringing meerubs gaze to go shooting over...
Maa begam: Kab jaana hai beta?
Asked maa begam with a smile, gazing to meerub who's mind rushed with a thought once more as the girl sucked in a breath before starting...
Meerub: Wo... abhi! Nashtey ke baad!
Spluttered out meerub when flashing maa begam a soft smile and earning nods from the adults. While murtasim, when watching the scene with a smile of delight and amusement, soon found his thoughts racing as his eyes shot wide when turning to the annoyed kinza with a soft smile...
Murtasim: Uh kinza-
He began brightly, gazing to the girl who's brows furrowed with huffs leaving her when he went on...
Murtasim: Tumney tou araam se jaana hai na...
Said murtasim with a nod, smiling wide with eyes gleaming when gazing to kinza whose brows just further furrowed. When as a thought struck murtasims mind, it wasn't long before his gaze flooded with mischief and shot to rohail who sat casually feasting on breakfast...
Murtasim: Kiu na tum rohail ke sath chalo!
Suggested the smiling murtasim with the wag of his brows, shooting his gaze between the two as kinzas brows knotted while rohails shot up...
Yet with a soft pout and nod, rohail soon nodded along to the words when catching them...
Rohail: Sure! Main le jounga!
He spoke brightly, a smile gracing his lips when gazing to kinza who shot a soft smile and nodded along with a huff while murtasim simply grinned wide...
His mind rushed and heart drumming softly within his chest as murtasims gaze soon shot and locked to the girl who sat facing him, her swift act bringing his mind to rush from tease. While meerub, with a gentle smile and a heat painting her cheeks from the surprise of her own words, soon found her own gaze flickering to meet with his in a cheeky exchange...
The way he arched a brow when gazing to the girl bringing meerubs heart to thump while the girls mind rushed, as it wasn't long after a fleeting glance, when meerub, with burning cheeks and a rushed mind unable to understand the reason for her own annoyance, found her gaze shooting away and back to breakfast...
A smile daring to play over her lips as the girl playfully rolled her eyes when darting them around elsewhere, leaving murtasims smile to just twitch wide while his heart flooded from delight at the scene...
⚜⚜⚜
As the gold glow of the morning sun rained down upon the havaili, coating the gardens and driveway with a warm hue, it was after a slightly rushed breakfast consisting of a huffing and thoroughly annoyed kinza, a smiling and amused murtasim and meerub who just couldn't put together the main reason of her sudden bluff along with her annoyance towards the thought of the two as the girl found her mind speeding unbearably the rest of breakfast after her swift act...
When as the sleek black car parked just outside the grand havaili when ready for departure, the front door swung open as murtasim, with a soft pout adorning his lips while his eyes squinted in attempts to shade his sight from the burning sun, made his way bouncing down the few steps before heading towards the car...
While meerub, dressed casually in her regular of jeans and a button up, followed behind with her nose scrunched up, the girls mind still rushed and unable to process her own thoughts while her lips tugged to a gentle frown from the golden of the sun hitting her eyes on the way to the car...
When finally, after a few steps across the area, as the two headed towards the car, murtasims moves were swift when first swinging open the passenger seat door, a gentle smirk playing over his lips when gazing to and gesturing for meerub to take a seat as the girl didnt think again before swiftly sliding in to seek shelter from the golden sunlight, while as murtasim swung the door shut, it didnt take long for him to rush around the car and also take his seat in the drivers seat upon slipping in...
A gentle sigh leaving his pouty lips at the cool of the car in contrast to the situation of the area as he didng miss a beat before pulling the seatbelt over his chest and starting the car. When with a gentle smile, as murtasims gaze shot to his side, his brows simply shot up and heart gave a jump when gazing to meerub who sat unknowingly chewing on her plump lip...
The girls gaze shooting around outside the window while her arms folded over her chest, when as murtasims smile dared to grow upon gazing to the sight, a gentle cough soon left him to get her attention as meerubs gaze soon went shooting over in surprise...
Murtasim: Chaley...?
The words escaped his lips softly and followed by the wag of his brows as murtasim, with a gentle smile leaned close, his elbow propped up on the console separating the two while meerubs lips parted at the words...
Yet with wide eyes and her rushed mind taking in his question, the girl didnt miss a beat before nodding along...
Meerub: Hm...!
Hummed out meerub when pouting her lips, shooting her gaze from the smiling murtasim back to the window while murtasim simply nodded with a sigh before his attention shifted towards starting the car...
Yet as the car now flooded with a comfortable silence with murtasim adjusting the rearview mirror for the drive, the soft buzzing of meerubs phone which the girl held in her hand had her gaze shooting over in surprise, meerubs brows shooting up and moves growing swift when the girl turned her flashing screen just to reveal sabas name...
When as the buzzing went on, with meerubs gaze stuck to the coller ID, the girl found herself gulping hard from her rushing thoughts as meerub hadn't had the chance to explain to saba about her plan, her heart jumping a soft beat while a heat rushed up meerubs spine from the mere thought of saba messing up the bluff as the buzzing went on...
While now with murtasim who went on to casually adjust the mirror, now finding his gaze flickering to the buzzing of the phone, meerubs mind rushed and heart thumped softly as the girl gulped from her awkward and reluctant reaction before with a sigh and while mentally praying that saba understands the situation, the girl didnt miss a beat before picking up and pinning the phone to her ear...
Meerub: Uh... hi Saba...!
Said meerub softly, her tone nervous and low when putting on a gentle smile in hopes that sabas voice would be quiet enough to not be heard from the inches of a distance where murtasim sat, yet just to be proved terribly wrong as sabas tone boomed through the silence of the car, echoing loud and proud and definently enough to reach murtasims ears...
Saba: Hi meerub! Kaisi ho yaar?
Chirped the girl in a yell almost, her tone bringing meerubs heart to thump from further nervousness as her nose scrunched up and face painted a gentle pink with only the hope remaining that saba would be able to play along and not ask too many questions...
Meerub: Main theek hu... bas ab tumharey ghar hi aarahi hu...
Said the girl in a rushed tone, praying that the conversation would end hear with no more explanations needed, yet as meerubs stomach coiled from nervousness and fingers crossed, luck seemed to betray her once more when sabas voice boomed across the silence of the standing car...
Saba: Mere ghar? Kiu bhai?
Questioned the confused saba jokingly and in another loud yell, her words bringing a heat of sheer nervousness along with a load of annoyance to go rushing up meerubs spine as the girls eyes shot wide, while murtasim, who sat slowly and casually adjusting the mirrors and starting the car, found his moves freezing upon catching the clearly said and quite loud words as his brows furrowed...
Meerub: Wo... saba! Tumney kaal bulaya tha na!
Meerub, with a rushed mind and awkward laugh went on in attempts to cover sabas previously said words, her tone laced with slight annoyance and clearly hinting for saba to play along as the girl sheepishly smiled wide...
Meerub: Shaadi ke tyaario ke sinsley mein!
She went on spluttering out the words in a clear and hinting manner, huffing between her words while keeping her demeanor casual as murtasims eyes now narrowed when flickering over to the girl...
Yet just for the dumbstruck saba to fall in further confusion, not at all getting the hint to play along as her voice went booming through the car once more...
Saba: Mainey? Kab yaar?
Questioned the girl in another yell, loud enough to strike murtasims ears as his brows furrowed down, murtasims mind rushing with tease and lips twitching to a cheeky curve as his gaze flooded with mischief and darted around rapidly infront of him when listening close...
While meerubs mind seemed to spin as the girl sucked in a harsh breath, annoyance bubbling within the girl followed by the rush of burning heat which raced to her creamy cheeks, painting them in a gentle pink while the girls eyes shot wide and lips tugged to a tight line...
Meerub: Saba... lagta hai thakawat sar pe char gai hai...!
The utterly irritated, frazzled and awkwardly smiling meerub shot the words once more when praying that this time her hint would be clear to the clueless saba...
Meerub: Yaad karo... kaal bulaya tha...!
The girl went on, sheepishly grinning wide when her gaze darted around in hopes that sabas volume would be lower atleast, while as murtasim, with knotted brows, narrow eyes flooded with mischief, and a gentle smile tugging at the corner of his lips listened close when now swiftly covering his twitching lips with his hand which rested over the console...
Yet just for saba to click her tongue on the line, still dumbfounded and confused before she spoke in a yell once more...
Saba: Yaar meerub main tou khud abhi shopping pe ay hui hu!
The girl confessed, revealing the reason of her yelling tone with a sigh to which meerubs eyes just shot wider, the girls lips parting and mouth dropping at the words and realization of her flopped plan which had a deep red racing to reach and paint her cheeks...
Saba: Mujhey nahi aaraha yaad!
Saba went on with the yelling which was really getting on meerubs nerves now. Meerubs stomach flipping and cheeks shaded a bright red while the girls throat fell dry at the words, while murtasim, with a rushed mind and heart jumping from delight, found his brows shooting up, his lips curling to an unstoppable, cheeky smile while his face lit with sheer mischief...
Saba: Acha tumhari awaz kat rahi hai, main baad mein call karti hu!
The girl splutter out the words in a rushed tone, clicking her tongue from the bad signal as meerubs jaw just dropped while murtasim took a soft, casual yet cheeky breath...
Saba: Bye!
Hurriedly, saba spoke before cutting the call, leaving meerubs eyes wide and face burning in a heat of embarrassment, her mind racing and heart thumping as the girl shot up straight on her seat frantically...
Meerub: Saba! Saba-
The frazzled meerub, with wide shot eyes spluttered out the words, yet a moment too late as saba had already closed the call. When as meerub, with slow moves pulled the phone from ber ear, the girl found herself gulping at the heavy air of the car where he sat just besides her and had heard each and every word of the awkward conversation...
Meerubs mind going blank and heart jumping while her stomach twisted to tight, painful knots, while as the girls face burned, murtasims mental state seemed to be the opposite. The gentle curve of delight mixed with mischief playing and plastered to his lips which he swiftly concealed from his hand, while his eyes glimmered from tease as it raced through his mind...
And so with a fluttering heart, murtasims moves were slow when barley biting back his laugh when his gaze swerved to meet the girl. His dark, cheeky gaze burning meerub to the core as the girl found the heat which coated her cheeks spreading while her heart gave a jump from realization...
Looo ji meerub... ab hogi sahi sharmindagi...
