"Arham do you have a plan?..." Ayat asked after keeping her mobile down.
"No..is something wrong?" Arham asked, seeing her serious face.
"Can you give me a ride?... I need to go somewhere and it's not easy to find a taxi in this area" Ayat said, sighing a little. Arham nodded his head and they walked out from there. Arham opened the door for Ayat and she looked at him
"Are you a gentleman or just because you need something from me therefore you are doing this?.." Ayat asked in a teasing voice.
"Be grateful you are getting to see my this side... not everyone gets to see," Arham whisper in a deep tone, moving his face close to her. Ayat started at his twinkling eyes for seconds then a mischief smile spread on her lips.
"Thank you so much Mr Arham I am very grateful to be in your good books," Ayat said, keeping one hand on her heart.
"Ugh! you are an annoying woman," Arham muttered with closed eyes, then walked across the car while shaking his head and sat behind wheels. Ayat giggled, sat inside the car and closed-door for herself.
"What do you do with people in your bad books?" Ayat asked in a curious tone.
"I don't think, you will be glad to hear my answer...seat belt," Arham said, starting the car.
"Oh my! you are scary," Ayat said, making her big round eyes, bigger. Arham looked at her with narrowed eyes.
"Ayesha is your blood-related sister, I am confirmed," He said, nodding his head then looked at the front as she fastened the seat belt. Ayat pressed her lips at his comment.
*****************************
Arham stopped the car in front of the bar and both came out, Ayat was about to walk when Arham came in front of her.
"This does not look a nice place for girls," Arham said, holding her wrist to stop her. Ayat blinked at him twice.
"You are right, don't go inside, stay here... I will just come back in a while," Ayat said, nodding her head, her eyes were twinkling with mischief.
"Ayat!!!!.. I am warning you, stop it," Arham said, in a loud annoying voice, pointing a finger at her. Ayat quickly stepped back as he came dangerously close to her. Ayat pressed her lips.
"Let's go," Arham glared at her and walked inside first.
Arham got more annoyed after looking at the atmosphere, drunk man falling here and there. Ayat covered her nose with her index finger at the strong smell of alcohol and smokes.
Ayyat stepping toward a cornered table and sat opposite half-drunk zain.
"What are you doing here?... sorry I forgot, I am the one who called you, but I didn't ask you to come here," zain said, then looked at Arham, who was sitting at the same table.
"Who? " Zain asked, looking at him with wild open eyes.
"No need to know," Arham said, in a nonchalant tone.
"Then why are you sitting here with me?" Zain said in hell annoyed tone.
"Zain! why are you here?" Ayat asked, in a serene voice.
"Why do you think?...to drink," Zain said chuckling in a humourless tone.
"You two want some? " Zain asked, picking a bottle. Ayat held the bottle, stopping him from filling the glass.
"Stop it, You are already very drunk," Ayat said, clenching her one fist under the table.
"Ayat listens...i.."
"We will talk about this when you are sober," Ayat said, snatching the bottle from his hand, put it on the table and looked at Arham.
"let's go," She said while Arham stared at her anger-filled eyes but there was no emotion on her face. He nodded and both got up, Ayat looked at Zain, cursed inaudible voice, stood up and walked out from there.
***************************************
"Zain get up!.. Zain!"Ayat shook him but he was in deep sleep.
"How will I take him to my apartment in this state?..."Ayat said, in a worried tone.
"don't you leave alone with your sister?...."Arham asked and Ayat nodded her head, shaking Zain again.
"then how can you take a drunk man to your place, are you mad? "Arham said, staring at her angrily.
"so?.." she turned toward him.
"families live in this building if anyone saw you taking a drunk man in your apartment then they will ask you to leave...don't know this? " Arham asked, raising his eyebrows.
"thank you for being worried for me but do I have any other choice... I can't leave him on road? " Ayat asked, turned back toward Zain. She raised her hand to slap him but sighed and shook him instead.
"I can take him to my apartment..." Arham said, in a thoughtful tone. Ayat looked back at him with full surprised eyes.
"Why will you do that? " Ayat said, staring at him.
"Right!... why should I be doing that" arham scolded himself in his mind. Ayat smiled at his silence, turned back to zain and started her unsuccessful attempts to wake him up. Arham looked at her struggling for a min then sighed.
"If you agree to accompany me to the party then I will be grateful to help, "
"Party? " She asked in a confused tone and arham nodded with a smile. Ayat looks at his suspicious smile then at zain.
"Fine..."
************************
"he is heavy.."Arham said through greeted teeth as he was walking, holding Zain by the waist
"let me help you..."Ayat said, and was about to put Zain arm around her neck but Arham stopped her.
"No, it's fine... "Arham said in a hurried tone. Ayat blinked at him with surprise.
"I mean I don't like help...just open the door..."Arham said, signing at door. Ayat rolled her eyes and opened the door of the house for them.
Arham dragged zain all the way to a guest room and threw him on the bed with a thug and hissed a little with pain. Ayat put a blanket on Zain then looked at Arham.
"Are you okay?..."Ayat asked in a concerned tone.
"yes I am fine...but you owe me a favour now, " Arham said.
"Are you a businessman?" Ayat asked in a curious tone and arham chuckled
"don't back up from your words..." Arham said.
"I won't..." Ayat asked, looking at Zain. At that time, Zain mobile started ringing. Ayat checked his pocket and stared at the number.
"I will leave now... take care of him, " Ayat said, cancelling the call.
"is he a kid?..." Arham muttered to himself.
"What?..." Ayat asked and Arham shook his head. she smiled and left from there. Arham walked toward a huge window and looked down at the road.
Ayat came out of the building and instead of crossing the road straight, she walked toward the park on the left side.
"why is she going park at this time?.." Arham narrowed his eyes at her. Ayat entered inside the park and directly walked toward the other entry point of the park, which was leading to the road of her building.
"why take the longer route..." Arham said in a little confused tone after watching her entering inside the building and went back to his room.

Evening"umm!... I am sure, I messaged you that theme is western, " Arham said, looking at Ayat from top to bottom. She was wearing a long black frock with chuddi-dar shalwar and net dupatta."Yes, You did, but I didn't like the theme... therefore I got dressed the way I like, " Ayat said, pressing her to laugh."Ayat, it's a theme party..." Arham said, looking at her as she had grown horns on her head."Oh yes! if I will go like this then it will be so embarrassing for you...do you still want me to come with you?" Ayat asked blinking at him innocently."You know, I am confirmed Ayesha is your sister...same childish behaviour but not going to work on me, sit inside, " Arham said, ope
"Jerk!..." Ayat said after coming out. She put on ear-pods, played an old song and booked Uber.After some time she reached home, paid for the ride, kept ear-pods and mobile in her purse and was about to step inside the building when she heard Ayesha's shout."Sister!" Ayesha shout, which made her jump out from her thoughts. She looked around but there was no one around."Where are you looking... I am here, look up, " Ayesha shouted again. Ayat raised her head and looked at her building."Allah! Ayesha!! " Ayat said, covering her mouth with both hands after watching her hanging at pipe like a bat, Which was near the window of Ayesha room."What in the hell are you doing? " Ayat yelle
“I have been waiting for you for the past one hour... Where were you? “Junaid said in response to Arham’s greetings.“You should have informed me about your arrival... “Arham said, signing him to sit down and settled beside him.“I didn’t inform you because I thought you will come home in a while... look It’s way past the working hours? “Junaid glared at him.“What can I say, earning is a tough job, “Arham said, shrugging His shoulder.“Arham, working hard is a good thing but overworking yourself and having no personal life isn’t worth it... Balance is a must, “He said, worry invaded in his voice.“Uncle, I have a personal life, better than anyone else, don’t worry... “ Arham said in a meaningful voice, making Junaid chuckle.“Now tell me what brought you here... If I am not wrong, your first dream starts now, &l
“Don’t ask for something, which I can’t give, “Ayat said, sighing in a helpless tone. He stared at her for a second.“I don’t think cooking is something which you can’t do, ““huh!... “She looked at him with confused eyes.“My chef left the job, therefore, I want you for the job, “Arham smiled at her confused face.“Breakfast timing is from 8:00am to 11:00am, lunch from 1:00pm to 3:00pm, Dinner from 7:00pm to 10:30pm, “She said in monotone, turned around and had walked few steps when Arham held her wrist and made her turned around in such a fast pace, she lost her balance and held him tightly from shoulder, preventing herself from falling down.Ayat opened her eyes after calming her breathing and looked up at Arham, who was looking down at her. Moments went by while staring at each other like that, before releasing their closeness. Ayat looked
“I can expect good things from you only.... unlike someone, “ Arham said, gazing at Ayat. She narrowed her eyes at him.“Wow! Your house is so amazing, it’s so big. Do you live alone? “Ayesha exclaimed, awestruck by the interior.“Hmm... Do you want me to show you around? “ Arham smiled when she nodded her head like kid and both walked out from there, chatting.“These two get along very well, “ Ayat said, sighed and went after them.“Everything here looks same as i have seen celebrities houses in Instagram.... are you a celebrity?” Ayesha asked in an excited tone.Arham chuckled as he opened a door for her. “OMG! “ Ayesha looked at huge book shelf with half opened mouth. Arham shook his head at her expression and looked back at Ayat, who stopped in front of a wall which was displaying pictures.Arham glanced at Ayesha, then walked back to Ayat.
“What was the need to behave like this? “ Dua questioned her sanity, pouring and mixing milk into her coffee. “What will he think about me?... Crazy weird girl, right? “ Dua jerked her head, picked her mug and walked back to her room and wide opened window. “Did it rain last night? “ Dua whispered and bent down to take a close look at the two parallel roads with a green line between them, then saw a big water tank, sprinkling water on roads. She sighed, moved back and glanced at Arham Apartment and find him peering at her. He waves at her. Dua blinked to get hold of herself and waved back, reluctantly. Arham took out his mobile from his pant pocket and signed her to pick up. Dua looked around for her mobile, then put the cup on the window stool and went back into the room. “Are you still upset? “ Arham asked the moment she attended the call. “No, I am sorry for getting angry for no reason, “ Dua said, mentally cursing herself. “That was quick, “ Arham chuckled. “I don’t mind apol
“1..2..2..3.....1..2..3..4....1...2..2..3”“Not bad for the first time, ““I told you... I am a fast learner, ““But why do you want to learn it? “ He asked“There is a song which i want to learn, ““which song? “ He asked in curious tone. Ayat bit her bottom, thinking for a minute then, took out her mobile from her purse, closed the lid and put mobile on it after playing a song.FLASHBACK“Not again, “ Ayat put a pillow on her ear then pulled blanket upon herself, still ‘Lata Mangeshkar’ voice kept piercing in her ears.“ugh! “ Ayat groaned in a loud voice after sitting straight on the bed.“I will end this nonsense today, “ She stepped down, wear slippers and walked out from the room with fuming face and stared at the first man who can make
