In the morning he went to dining room to meet his chacha's family and his instinct were right, she is Hoorain, his little sister, no his little cousin.
She was wearing a peach colour kurta with white duppata looking like a Hoor.
"Assalam walaikum chacha jaan, chachi jaan" Sahil greeted them.
"Walaikum Assalam beta, kitne bade ho gye ho" Ahil said patting his head. (You have grown too much)
"Chacha jaan yeh toh kb se bade hi hain, kahiye kitne budhe ho gye ho" His brother Hamza cracked a joke making everyone laugh, Sahil gaze was on Hoorain who was stifling her laugh. (Uncle he is grown up say you have grown old)
Sahil glares him and he shuts his mouth.
The family chit chat starts, remembering about old days and everytime dada jaan used to cling to Hoorain's childhood , which made him look like at her every time. She just lowered her eyes and listened to the her mischief. His eyes would go to his cheeks which were getting red from time to time.
Once or twice their gaze met.
He just want to go to her and............
Shut up you idiot she is 10 year younger than you.
But I was just talking about a peck on her head.
Oh, stop you dirty thoughts about her, you are like a uncle to her more than a brother.
No, not brother, her cousin.
Oh yeah a 10 year older cousin.
Then why did she kissed me?
She was forced to do so and she is Hoorain, she is not like that.
Playing battle with his mind and heart he was staring her intentionally. Sensing her every move, she was embarrassed. She even doesn't want to meet his eyes.
He was stealing glances of her.
When she came to him handed him the tea carefully not to touch, but her fingers brushed a little with his, making his eyes snapping at her, she said sorry with her eyes and then runs away from there, from him.
They were playing hide and seek from seven days.
She eats her breakfast, lunch and dinner in her room.
And he spent his days hiding in his office or avoiding her whenever she was out of her room.
But he doesn't know why he was feeling something for her.
Because she shared her first kiss with him or because he saw her in a state which he doesn't want see her like this.
His first thought was lust and he doesn't wanted think about her like this.
Then when he saw her with his brother laughing, he wanted to strangle his own brother and kiss her senselessly for showing her beautiful smile to someone else other than him. He just wanted her to keep to himself, hiding her from the world.
But she was 10 year younger than him.
So, he stopped himself by hiding from her, not thinking about her and failing again and again--------------------------------------------------
But sometime things doesn't go like we wants.
It was sunny day, when Sahil was going to office to hide from her and his growing feeling, then his dada jaan stopped him "Sahil ruko" (Sahil wait)
