Their conversation was ended. They both were just starring each other lovingly.

Their eye lock was broken when Mimi entered in the room, she rushed towards her brother.

"Bhai! Ap theek to hain na?" Mimi asked politely, concerned about his brother.

"Hmm!" Farjaad mumbled smilingly.

"Umeed! Tum kuch khalo, tumne subah bhi sahi se kuch nahi khaya tha" Mimi insisted her.

"Kyu nahi khaya?" Farjaad asked in low voice, tried to sat. Mimi made him sat properly

"Apko pata to hai ke Umeed sirf chai peeti hai aur aj apki wajah se dophar mein khana bhi nahi khaya" Mimi replied.

"Nahi! Mujhe nahi khana, mein theek hun" Umeed declined the offered.

"Abhi jao aur khana khao" Farjaad said seriously.

"Mujhe nahi khana" Umeed nodded.

"Mimi beta! Tum jakar bahar se kuch lekar ao warna ye to manegi nahi" Farjaad ignored her, Mimi nodded smilingly and walked out from the room.

"Wese na itni meharbani ki wajah jaan sakti hun?" Umeed scoffed, crossed her arms.

"Aur mein ye jaan sakta hun ke ap mujhe sorry kyu kehrahi thi?" Farjaad ignored her question and asked his question, tried to confused her.

"Meinay kab kaha?" Umeed lied confidently.

"Oho! Zyada banne ki zarorat nahi hai, ap abhi roo bhi rahi thi" Farjaad said teasingly, controlled her smile.

"Lagta hai ke ap ke dimag par current laga hai, mein rone walo mein se nahi hun aur ap ke liye to bilkul nahi roongi" Umeed defended herself.

"Acha! Tum nahi royi?" Farjaad asked in sarcastic way.

"Nahi" Umeed mumbled.

Their argument and bunter was stopped and ended when Mimi entered in the room along with sandwich.

"Bhai! Meinay doctor se pocha hai, inhone kaha hai ke aj sham tak apki discharge kardia jaiga" Mimi told him.

"Aur medicines ka pata kia?" Umeed asked worriedly, concerned about him. Farjaad glared at her and smiled lightly

"Nahi! Wo kehrahe hain ke prescription ki zarorat nahi hai, bhai ko injection dediye the, khud ki recover hojaingay" Mimi described.

"Acha! Ab Umeed tum khana khalo" Farjaad requested meekly.

"Bhai! Ap lait jaye aur aram karein, mein Umeed ko khana khila dungi" Mimi said softly.

"Wese bhi recovery mein time lagega, current lagna normal nahi hota" Umeed said sarcastically, Mimi made her lay on the bed.

Farjaad fakely smiled, Umeed smiled back and Mimi shook her head.

"Umeed! Wese to tum roo rahi thi aur ab tum phir shuru hogai" Mimi said in flow.

Umeed raised her eyebrows towards her, gestured her to keep quiet. Farjaad bit her lower lip and looked at her with mischievous smile. Umeed didn't meet her eyes with him, she was totally embarrassed.

"Mimi! Mujhe bht bhook lagrahi hai" Umeed said in heavy voice.

"Han! Sandwich layi hun, ao betho aur khalo please" Mimi replied meekly but she was cursing herself for this blunder.

Umeed and Mimi sat on the couch beside each other.

"Mimi, tumhe kya zarorat thi Farjaad ke samne ye kehne ki ke mein roo rahi thi?" Umeed complained.

"Han to bhai ko bhi pata chalna chaiye na ke tumhe pyaar hogaya hai" Mimi replied teasingly.

"No bakwas" Umeed said, controlled her smile miserably.

They both were slowly talking with each other, didn't disturb Farjaad. He was peacefully resting and fell asleep due to injections.

******************

Now Farjaad was discharged from the hospital. They came back to their home, Mr. Shujaat and Niggo Jee settled him in his room.

"Farjaad beta! Agar kisi bhi cheeze ki zarorat ho to batadena" Mr. Shujaat said meekly.

Farjaad nodded his head, they smiled and patted his head. They walked out from the room.

Farjaad closed his eyes and Umeed entered in the room along with the tray. He looked at her, she kept the tray on the side table and she sat front of him.

"Kya hua, ye sab kya lai ho?" Farjaad asked.

"Ap ke liye saubudana layi thi, ap ne kuch nahi khaya tha to ye khalen" Umeed said seriously.

Farjaad smiled, "Allah kher, sab khairyat to hai na?" He asked, tried to teased her.

"Han sab theek hai, ek to mein ap ke liye sabudana layi hun aur ap mujh par tanz karahe hain" Umeed said rudely.

"Aree nahi! Bht shukriya apka" Farjaad said meekly.

"Ab mein kya apko apne hathon se khilaon?" Umeed asked curiously.

"Han! Abhi itna bara current laga hai, shukar hai ke mein bach gaya" Farjaad said dramatically.

Umeed took the bowl from the side table, started feeding him.

"Kesa bana hai?" Umeed asked excitedly.

"Jesa hota hai wesi bana hai" Farjaad replied in sarcastic way.

Umeed gritted her teeth, "ab ap ye khud hi khaaye" she said annoyingly.

"Acha! Mazak kar raha hun" Farjaad said, changed the compliment.

Umeed sarcastically smiled, again started feeding him.

"Wese ek baat pocho?" Umeed asked.

"Hmmm" Farjaad mumbled.

"Ap ne mujhe bachaya kyu tha?" Umeed asked hesitntly and meekly, looked into his eyes.

"Meri khamoshi se batein chun lena,
Unki dori se tareefen bunle naa..

"Pata nahi!" Farjaad replied back in husky voice.

"Ye kesa jawab hai?"

"Kal nahi thi jo,
Aj lagti hun,
Tareef meri, hai khamaka,
Tohfa tera, mere adaaa!!!"

"Tum batao, tum kyu roo rahi thi?" Farjaad asked, tried to confused her.

"Mein?" Umeed started making excuses.

"Jee! Ap" He mumbled.

"Zahir hai! Ap ne meri wajah se apni jaan ki bhi parwah nahi ki aur mujhe sirf apki tension horahi thi" Umeed explained meekly, lowered her glaze.

"Waqai?" Farjaad asked.

"Hmm! She looked at him, "lekin ap phir bhi mujhe emotionless samjhte hain" Umeed scoffed.

"Aree yaar bas kardo, ap meinay apni saza kaat li na, ab to khush hojao" Farjaad chuckled.

"Ye kesi fuzool batein kar rahe hain" Umeed bursted into anger at these words.

"Aree! Itna gussa kyu kar rahi ho, meinay kuch galat kaha hai?" Farjaad constantly tried to teased her.

"Chup chap khana khaye" Umeed ordered.

He again started feeding him, he was controlling his smile miserably.

******************

The evening was passed, Umeed entered in the room along with some medicines but she looked at sleepy Farjaad who was leaning his head against the bed, he was in uncomfortable position. She automatically and softly smiled, adoring him. She forgot that she hated him, she walked towards him.

"Saathiya, Saathiya,
Pagle se dil ne ye kya kia,
Chun lia, chuni lia,
Tujh ko deewane ne chun lia"

She slowly held his head, tried to fixed under the pillow. She finally did it within few seconds, she covered him from the blanket and turned off the lamp.

She came back to her side, lay down on the bed. She turned her poster towards him, she smiled again while starring at him.

"Mujhe abhi tak yaqeen nahi araha ke halaku khan ne mujhe bachaya hai, koi first time meri sheild bana hai, agar samne kahongi to sar par charh jaingay lekin thank you changez khan" She lightly chuckled.

"Dil to uraa uraa re asmaan mein badlon ke sang,
Ye to machal machal ke gaa raha hai,
Sun naayi si dhun"

Within few minutes, she fell asleep as she was so tired.

****************

The morning was absolutely beautiful. Farjaad woke up and started coughing. Umeed came outside after freshen, looked at him shockingly. He was still coughing, Umeed quickly walked towards him. She poured the water in the glass, gave it to him. He drank the water and kept the glass on side table.

"Kya hua! Tabiyat zyada kharab ho rahi hai?" Umeed asked in concerned.

"Nahi! I am fine" Farjaad replied meekly.

"Ap fresh hojaye, mein nashta leke ati hun" Umeed instructed.

"Nahi! Mujhe office jana hai" Farjaad informed.

"Kya hogaya, apki tabiyat theek nahi hai" Umeed reminded him about his condition.

"Mein theek hun, tum fikar nahi karo" Farjaad said confidently.

"Zyada na hero banne ki zarorat nahi hai, ap wese bhi jinn hai wo bankar rahein" Umeed annoyed.

"Kya kaha! Jin?" Farjaad gritted his teeth.

"Jee! Apki batein bilkul jinn jesi hain" Umeed mocked.

"Aur tumhari harkatein churail jesi hain" Farjaad replied back irritatingly.

"Ap na aram karein, mein office nahi jane dungi" Umeed ordered.

Farjaad tried to stood up but Umeed held his arm tightly, made him stood properly. They both slowly started walking towards the washroom.

"Ab mein itna bhi bemar nahi hun, aram se chal to sakta hi hun" Umeed instructed.

"Umar bht hogai hai, ye na ho ke ap phisal jaaye aur apki hadiyan tut jaye" Umeed mocked and chuckled.

"Ab itni bhi umar nahi hai, i am just twenty nine" Farjaad defended himself.

"Wohi to kehrahi ho, ab tak dou bache hojate hain" Umeed mocked.

"Wo to abhi bhi hosakte hain" Farjaad complimented in flirting tone.

"Kya matlab?" Umeed asked innocently.

"Kuch nahi!" Farjaad said and controlled his smile.

Farjaad rushed inside for freshen up.
