Mohabbat aur Jung mein yahi baat ek si hai
Ki
Be-fazool sa, be-kasoor sa
Khoon bohot behta hai

"Hanaya! Main tumhari watch le rahi hoon," Hafya entered her room and her informed her while taking her watch from dressing table
(I want your watch,)
"Yeh kab liya tumna?" While taking it her eyes fall on anklet, she picked it, she doesn't remember Hanaya buying any jewelry for herself,
(When did you bought this?)
"Yeh woh Fasih bhai ne diya tha mujhe," she took her eyes off from her book and looked at the thing which Hafya was holding then replied her
(Fasih bhai gifted me,)
"Fasih? Woh tumhe gift kyu deta hai? Aur tumne liye kyu?" She couldn't control her anger
First she thought maybe it's just Fasih's one sided attraction but now when she heard them exchanging gifts she thought maybe Hanaya is the one who bewitch him
(Fasih? Why did he brought gifts for you? And you took it from him?)
"Woh toh tumhe bhi gift dete Hain, tum toh nahi Mana karti, yeh mere liye woh London se laye the that's why......"
(He also brought gifts for you and you take it from him... And he brought this for me from London so...)
"Woh Mera dost hai, main ussey gifts le sakti Hoon," she didn't let Hanaya complete her sentence
(He is my friend, I can take gifts from him,)
"Woh humara cousin bhi hai," Hanaya couldn't understand the meaning behind her anger,
(He is also our cousin,)
"Cousin Hai toh cousin ki hadd Tak hi raho, issey agey mat badhna Hanaya I'm warning you," she point her finger at Hanaya then left,
(Yes he is just cousin, don't ever think about anything else,)
"Mera gift," behind her Hanaya said but she didn't listen
(My gift,)
"Ugh! I need to buy another one," when her specs again fall on her nose, she huffed while putting it on her eyes
<><><>
Looking at the ceiling with a huge grin on his face he was imagine her
How would be life after marriage? He couldn't help but wonder
Tommorow Nimra is going to their house and here he is feeling nervous
But the better kind of nervous, you know that knot in your stomach, making it flip
Maybe that's what they call butterfly in stomach?
He turned to other side and closed his eyes, but his mind was still imagining her,
Life with her after marriage
He got up and leave his room, when sleep is nowhere then why not have tea? He thought
While going to kitchen he passed by Zaim's studio which lights were on,
He understood maybe Zaim is also having same situation as his,
Making tea for two, he headed to Zaim's studio
"Wow!" Zaim was painting when he entered there, Fasih couldn't help but praise when he saw his painting
"Fasih tum?" Zaim quickly put the sheet on the painting and looked at his younger brother
(Fasih you?)
In his night suit, messy hair and two cup of tea in his hand
"Couldn't sleep, apke studio ki lights on thi toh lag aap bhi jag rahe hain so I made tea," he said and passed Zaim tea
(When I saw the lights on in your studio, I thought you are also awake,)
"Fasih! Don't, woh abhi incomplete hai," Zaim was about to take a sip of tea but when he saw Fasih was going to take off the sheet he stopped him
(That's incomplete,)
"Bhai main konsa expert Hoon Jo apko judge karega, let me see it,..... Wow Bhai! it's...beautiful," he was astound, it was a portrait of Hayfa. almost done, just few shaded were about to be given
(I'm not an expert who will judge you,)
"Yeh main ussey send karne Wala Hoon," he took his phone out, to take a picture of the portrait but Zaim snatched it away from him
(I'm gonna send her this,)
"Koi zaroorat nahi hai, abhi yeh incomplete Hai, I'll gift her this when it'll be complete,"
(No need for that, this is still in complete,)
"Theek Hai! Lekin main ussey yeh zaroor bataunga ki woh kitni lucky Hai, apne uski yeh tasveer beena ussey ya uski koi tasveer dekhe banayi hai?" When he didn't found Hayfa's any picture near, he said
(Fine! but I'll definitely tell her how lucky she is, you made her portrait without looking at her picture,)
"Hmm! Waise lucky toh Kam Hanaya bhi nahi," finally taking a sip of his tea Zaim said, Fasih bite his tongue between his teeth
(Hmm! Hanaya is also very lucky,)
"Bataya kyu nahi tumhe Hanaya pasand Hai?"
(Why didn't you tell me that you like Hanaya,)
"Maine socha uski graduation complete ho Jaye toh baat karunga, but then Hayfa told me Hanaya ke liye rishte arahe Hain, I didn't wanted to see risk so,.." Fasih took a sip of his tea then said
(I thought after her graduation I'll talk to everyone. but, then Hayfa told me Hanaya is receiving lots of proposal so...)
"Woh bhi tumhe pasand karti Hai?" Zain couldn't help but wonder
(Does she likes you too?)
They were cousin but he hardly know anything about her, in fact he doesn't even have saw her very much
The shy girl loves to stay in her shell, away from anyone's eyes
"Agar woh mujhe pasand nahi karti toh kisi aur ko bhi nahi karti that I'm sure,"
(If she doesn't like me, she doesn't like anyone else too,)
"Make sure of it. Aksar Hanaya jaisi ladkiyan apne Dil mein bohot kuch chupa ke rakhti hain." Her big brown eyes came in his mind which look like they held many things in them
(Girls like Hanaya doesn't like to share their feelings,)
"Bhai aap mujhe dara rage hain, main waise hi Kal ka soch soch ke pareshaan ho raha hoon,"
(Bhai you are scaring me, I already can't sleep thinking about tomorrow,)
"Kal ke liye kyu pareshaan ho rahe ho? Zyada mat socho, sab theek hoga,"
(Why are you thinking about tomorrow? Don't think much, everything will be fine,)

"Kya hua?" Naina was getting ready when her eyes fall on Urwa who was sitting on her bed and lost
(What happened?)
"Fasih Hanaya ko pasand karta hai," her chin was placed on her knees as she was wrapping her arms around it
(Fasih likes Hanaya,)
"Kya? Kon Hanaya?" She sat on the edge of the bed and asked
(Whaf? Hanaya who?)
"Hayfa ki choti behen,"
(Hayfa's sister,)
"Toh woh Hayfa ko pasand nahi karta?" They always thought Fasih likes Hayfa because of their closeness and friendship
(So he doesn't like Hayfa?)
"Nahi! Kal mummy ki call ayi thi, unhone bataya aaj bua Zaim Bhai ke liye Hayfa aur Fasih ke liye Hanaya ka hath mange ja rahi hain,"
(No! Mummy called last night, bua is going to Hayfa's house to ask Hayfa's hand for Zaim Bhai and Hanaya's hand for Fasih,)
"Yeh lo! Yaha hum hamesha sochte rahe ki Fasih Hayfa ko pasand karta Hai but woh toh uski choti behen ko pasand karta hai," Naina said while laughing a little but when she saw Urwa's face she became serious
(And here we thought he likes Hayfa, but he likes her sister,)
"Achha choro, tum kyu soch rahi ho uske bare mein?"
(Why are you thinking about it?)
"Kuch nahi bas soch rahi hoon ki achha hua Fasih Hayfa ko pasand nahi karta, an egostic person like her doesn't deserve his love,"
(Nothing! I'm just glad Fasih doesn't like Hayfa,)
"Jissey pasand karta Hai woh bhi to uski choti behen hi Hai,"
(The person whom he likes is also her little sister,)
"Choti behen Hai lekin woh bohot alag Hai Hayfa se, main ussey mili Hoon, bohot achhi hai woh,"
(She is her little sister but she is very different from Hayfa, I have met her, she is really nice,)
"Khair Hume Kya, Chalo utho taiyyar ho, movie miss ho jayegi,"
(Okay let it be, get ready, otherwise we'll miss our movie,)
<><><>
"Assalamualaikum!" Hanaya had to come out of her room and greet Nimra and Shahid, otherwise she would have gone in trouble
"Walekum-Assalam! Hayfa nahi nazar arahi," they greeted her back then Nimra asked Ayesha
(Where is Hayfa?)
"Woh toh bahar gayi Hai, janti toh in aap ussey," Ayesha said tired of her elder daughter's attitude
(She has gone for shopping,)
"Yahi toh age hai uske ghoomne firne ki, tum bhi kabhi Kabhi kahi bahar chali Jaya Karo, kuch nahi toh humare Ghar Tak hi ajaya Karo," she turned to Hanaya who was still standing beside sofa
(That's her age to live her live fullest, you should also sometimes step out your house, at least come to our house,)
"Bhabhi kitna toh bolti Hoon issey lekin yeh sunti hi nahi, ek Hai jissey Ghar mein rehna achha nahi lagta aur ek Ghar se ek kadam bahar nikal jaise punishment ho," and she was also tired of Hanaya's introvert nature
(Bhabhi, I told her that many times but she doesn't listen, one daughter doesn't like to stay at home and another doesn't like going outside,)
"Mere khayal se isko yaha khade hona bhi punishment lag rahi Hai, tum jao apne kamre mein," as soon as Nimra said that Hanaya left for her room
(I think she isn't liking standing here with elders, you can go to your room,)
When in evening Hayfa returned home she found it oddly silent
"Mamma!" She called Ayesha but none answer, shrugging her shoulder she went to her room.
Throwing the shoppers on bed she left to change her clothes
After changing her clothes she decided to check on Hanaya, she must be in her room
"Hana...... Hanaya?..... Kya hua?" When she entered Hanaya's room she found her sitting on the floor with her back leaning on bed and crying
(What's wrong?)
Sitting beside her she worriedly asked
"Kya..... Kuch nahi," she didn't expected any company, seeing Hayfa made her startled, drying her eyes, she out her specs on
(What...... Nothing,)
"Tum ro rahi ho aur keh rahi ho kuch nahi, batao Kya hua? Kisi ne kuch kaha Kya tumse?" She started thinking of any possibility that made Hanaya cry but couldn't come up with any
Hanaya wasn't one to cry easily, unless it is about bad grade but..
(You are crying and saying nothing, tell me what's wrong? Did someone said anything to you?)
"Kuch nahi hua bas...... Tayi Ammi aayi thi, Zaim.....Zaim bhai ke liye apka.... Apka hath manga Hai aur Fasih bha..... Fasih ke liye Mera," as she told Hayfa tears again came in her eyes making her specs fogged she took it off again and wiped her tears with dupatta, she didn't wanted to cry in front of Hayfa and giving her any wrong sign but she couldn't hold her tears
(Nothing just... Tayi ammi came, she gave proposal of Zaim.... Zaim Bhai for you and Fasih for me,)
The man who she has loves since forever is in love with her own sister, maybe if it was someone else in Hayfa's placed wouldn't hurt her that much but he loves Hayfa and didn't even noticed her
And what's worst was that his little brother wants to marry her
Hayfa who was worried about Hanaya forgot everything as if she was stunned
"Mamma papa ne Kya kaha?" She finally managed to ask
(What did mamma and Papa said?)
"Unhone Haan kardi," getting up Hayfa quickly left Hanaya's room and went to her room
(They said yes,)
'Zaim Bhai ke liye apka aur Fasih ke liye Mera hath manga Hai,'
Taking her phone out from her purse she dialled Fasih's number
"Fasih kaha ho tum? Mujhe tumse milna Hai,"
(Fasih where are you? I want to meet you,)
<><><>
"Kya hua? Itni jaldi mein kyu bulaya? Pata Hai main Bhai ke sath...." When Fasih reached the cafe where she called him, sitting in front of her he asked
(What happened? Why did you call me here in so hurry? I was with Bhai,....)
"Mujhe laga tum mazak Kar rahe ho lekin tumne.... Tumne Hanaya ke kiye rishta bhej diya?" She interrupt him and said, her breath was heavy as she was trying to control herself from saying anything stupid
(I thought you were joking that day but you..... You send your proposal for Hanaya?)
"Ab toh pata chal gaya ki main serious hoon? Aur tumhari behen ke kabil bhi kyu Meri jitni mohabbat ussey koi nahi Kar sakta," he light heartedly said
(Now you know I'm serious, and I'm worthy of her because I love her alot,)
"Lekin......" She loudly said which grab the attention of few people near them, she hold her tongue back
(But....)
"Lekin?" He looked around embarrassingly
(But?)
"Sab kuch bohot ajeeb lag raha Hai, Zaim se Mera aur Hanaya se tumhara rishta aur..... Iske baad sab kuch badal jayega,"
(It's all seems strange, after this our relationship will change and....)
"Kuch nahi badlega, in fact everything will be more better, Bhai tumse bohot mohabbat karte hain,"
(Nothing will change.... Bhai loves you very much,)
Although she called him here tell him about her feelings but couldn't.
