"Jaun ya nahi jaun?"

He stood there confused and speaking to himself.

"Aise kya tu zindagi bhar yahi khada rahega?"

"Nahi nahi mujhe ander to jana hoga."

"Magar yeh sab kuch kitna awkward hai."

"Awkward toh hai par Kashaf ki maar se better hai. Chal beta Zaroon warna shaadi ki pehli raat hi apki biwi apko kamre se bahar phek degi."

Taking a deep breath,he pushed the door.

"So agaye aap."

Kashaf said looking at him through the mirror.

"Haan woh bas doston ne.."

Stopping him she said

"Theek hai explanation dene ki koi zaroorat nahi hai. Aur itne dare huye kyu lag rahe ho?Kuch hua hai kya?"

She stood next to him, wiping the sweat on his forehead.

"Zaroon Junaid ko itna ghabraya hua to maine kabhi nahi dekha?"

"Khair aaj dekh lo."

Zaroon said stepping forward.

"Haan dekh hi to rahi hoon."

This time Kashaf appeared a bit tensed with the proximity.

"Toh nazrein kyu chura rahi ho?"

He asked moving closer and finally pinning her to the wall.

"Nazrein toh nahi chura rahi. Par shayad nervous ho rahi hoon."

She said lowering her gaze and smiling. 

He grinned and pressed his lips against her cheeks while she closed her eyes and clutched the end of her dupatta. 

"Tum to sach me nervous ho."

He said huskily leaning towards her neck and planting a few pecks.

"Zaroon"

She whispered.

"Hmm.."

He said exploring her neckline and moving closer,bridging the gap between them. She slowly ran her fingers through his hair.

"Mumma."

The voice and the loud knock on the door startled the two.

"Maham."

Zaroon rushed to open the door.

Maham ran towards Kashaf and hugged her.

"Kya hua Maham?"

Kashaf asked concerned. 

"Mumma woh mujhe akele bilkul bhi acha nahi lag raha ap please mere saath chalein."

Kashaf looked at Zaroon in an apologetic manner but he simply closed his eyes in affirmation.

"Par Maham. Ek kaam karte hai. Kyun na aap yaha Mumma aur papa ke saath sojaye?"

Zaroon said sitting beside her.

"Sacchi?"

she asked excited.

"Mucchi."

He exclaimed kissing her forehead and carrying her towards the bed.

"Aap yaha humare beech mein soyengi."

"Yay."

Maham expressed her joy.

"Kashaf tum bhi change kar lo. Bohot dair hogayi hai hume so jana chahiye."

"Haan."

Kashaf smiled at him and asked

"Tum sach much Maham se bohot pyaar karte ho na?"

"Kyu nahi karna chahiye?"

Zaroon tucked the hair that kept hindering his vision and moved towards the closet.

Zaroon had changed already and was accompanying Maham on the bed.

"Main aaj se apko papa kahun na?"

"Haan bilkul."

"Toh aap bhi mujhe mere baki friends jaise school chorne jayenge na?"

"Haan zaroor jayenge."

Maham and Zaroon kept talking to each other when Maham pointed out

"Yeh mumma kaha reh gayi?"

"Hum bulaye?"

"Haan."

Maham said excited.

"Mummaaaa..."

The two shouted in unison until kashaf had finally returned.

"Yeh kya kar rahe ho tum dono. Abhi tak soye kyun nahi?"

She asked keeping her hand on her waist.

"Aap ka intezaar kar rahe the."

Maham said.

Kashaf finally laid down next to them. Zaroon smiled at her and caught hold of her hand, while the two hugged Maham.

 After a while, Kashaf whispered "I love you."

Zaroon responded saying

"I love you too."

"And I love you three."

Maham said shouting.
