Next morning, Umeed was getting ready front of the mirror. She was dressed up in white outfit, looking stunning. Farjaad was also dressed up in his office outfit. He surprisingly looked at her and smiled, he stood behind her and glared at her through the mirror. Umeed met her eyes with him and raised her eye brows.

"Kya hua! Itni buri lag rahi hun?" Umeed asked hesitantly and worriedly, she thought that she was looking worst.

"Achi! I mean achi lag rahi ho" Farjaad praised lovingly, crossed his arms.

"Tabiyat wagera theek hai ya dimag par asar hogaya hai?" Umeed scoffed.

"Nahi! Ap ke sath reh kar tabiyat kese theek reh sakti hai?" Farjaad said teasingly.

Umeed turned around and faced him, she made a face.

"Sochlen! Meinay to baat karni chordi thi" Umeed indirectly warned him.

"Wese tum jaa kahan rahi ho?" Farjaad asked, concerned.

"Wo ghar ja rahi hun, aj shayad mein, Sameer aur Haya bahar jaingay" Umeed informed excitedly.

"Ok! Chaliye ap ko drop kar deta hun" Farjaad offered.

"Nahi! Ap ko der hojaigi, mein chali jaongi" Umeed said meekly, rejected his offer for his concerned.

"Koi baat nahi! Tum kahan rides ki wajah se pareshan hogi, i will drop you" Farjaad commanded.

"Aree! Mein driver ke sath chali jaongi" Umeed argued.

"Meinay kaha na ke mein drop karonga" Farjaad ordered strictly.

"Uff! Ok" Umeed said harshly.

"That's like a good girl" Farjaad complimented mockingly.

Umeed smiled in sarcastic way, she set her dupatta and rushed out from the room. Farjaad giggled and walked behind her.

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

After one hour, Farjaad parked his car outside the Pasha house.

"Wapsi par pick karne kab ana hai?" Farjaad asked.

"Mein khud ghar ajaongi, Sameer drop kardega" Umeed assured him meekly.

"Nahi! Mujhe batado mein ajaonga" Farjaad insisted.

"Don't worry! Sameer mujhe wapsi par drop kardega, ap fikar nahi karein" Umeed reassured him.

"Theek hai! Agar koi problem ho to call kardena" Farjaad commanded.

"Wese ap ko meri itni fikar kyu ho rahi hai, ap ko to khush hona chaiye ke ap ki kuch time ke liye mujh se jaan chut rahi hai" Umeed scoffed jokingly.

"Han! Ye to hai" Farjaad mocked.

"Ap ka koi ilaj nahi hai" Umeed said truthfully.

Farjaad stretched his hand from the pocket and took out his hand from the credit card, extended his hand. Umeed looked at him surprisingly.

"Ye kya hai?" Umeed questioned.

"Andhi hogayi ho, credit card hai" Farjaad said in sarcastic way.

"Iska mein kya karongi?" Umeed asked innocently.

"Tum agar Haya ke sath bahar jaa rahi ho to shopping karlena, Haya ko bhi karwa dena" Farjaad responded softly.

"Lekin mere pass paise hain, mein baba se maang longi" Umeed said nonchalantly.

"Bht ache! Shabash, tum Pasha uncle ke samne meri reputation kharab karna ka bandu bast kia jaa raha hai" Farjaad scoffed, surprised on her stupidness.

"Acha! Ap sirf ye Pasha sahab ke samne number barhana ke liye kar rahe hain" Umeed said in doubt.

Farjaad shook his head, "aree yaar! Ek to mein tumhe credit card de raha hun, upar se itna negative soch rahi ho" Farjaad whined.

"Acha! Sochlen, sare paise urh jaingay" Umeed warned him.

"Koi baat nahi! Mujhe koi masla nahi hai" Farjaad said nonchalantly and relaxingly.

Umeed glared at him shockingly and surprisingly, she smiled lightly. Farjaad raised his eye brows

"Ok!"

Umeed mumbled, opened the door and about to exit.

"Suno!" Farjaad called her name, she looked at him.

"Apna khayal rakhna" Farjaad said in demanding tone.

Umeed nodded and blinked her eyes. She finally walked out from there, he was waiting for his entrance. She press the bell button and Haya opened the door, they both hugged happily each other. Farjaad smiled and leaves from there.

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

"Aj jitni chahe shopping karlo, aj Farjaad ka atm card mere sath hai" Umeed said excitedly.

Haya, Sameer and Umeed entered in the mall excitingly and happily. Finally, they were outing together after a long time.

"Tum Farjaad bhai ka card chori kar ke layi ho?" Sameer asked jokingly.

Umeed gritted her teeth and punch on his arm, "Nahi! Inhone khud mujhe atm card dia hai" She replied truthfully.

"Phir bhi tum inhe bura kehti ho" Haya taunted.

"Han to wo changez khan kabhi kabhi aisi harkatein karta hai to gussa ata hai" Umeed said, pouted like a baby.

"Farjaad bhai bht ache hain " Sameer praised smilingly.

"Tum dono na chup chap shopping ke liye chalo" Umeed ordered them.

They walked up stairs, started looking the outfits. Umeed entered in the shop, looking at the watches. Haya and Sameer followed her.

"Umeed! Tum yahan kyu ayi ho?" Haya asked in curiosity.

"Wo mein apne liye watch dekhne ayi thi" Umeed lied.

"Apne liye?" Sameer scoffed.

"To kya mein watch nahi pehen sakti?" Umeed said in sarcastic way.

"Ye men's ki watch collection hai" Haya informed her.

"Seedha seedha ye bolo ke tum Farjaad bhai ke liye gift lene ayi ho" Sameer said, tried to teased her.

"Han! Wo actually ajeeb sa lag raha tha to meinay socha koi gift dedun" Umeed said truthfully and in embarrassment.

"Han to kharid lo, kisi ne mana kia hai?" Haya provoked her.

Umeed nodded and started finding a unique watch for Farjaad, Haya and Sameer also helped her and after couple of minutes, she selected and borrowed beautiful and unique watch for her Farjaad. She paid the bill and they rushed out from there.

Umeed, Haya and Sameer were happily did their shopping and now they entered in the food court, they took their seats.

"Oh shit! Umeed baba ne apne liye shoes ka kaha tha, wo to mein bhool hi gayi" Haya remembered abruptly.

"Han to ruko mein lekar ajata hun" Sameer said in concerned.

"Nahi! Mein tum dono betho, mein ek minute mein lekar ati hun" Haya requested politely.

"Mein sath chalta hun, jab tak Umeed khana order  kardegi" Sameer insisted.

"Han mere bhai ko to bahana chaiye meri Haya ke sath time guzarne ka" Umeed teased them and chuckled.

"Umeed?" Haya furrowed her eye brows.

"Ab jao bhi!" Umeed said mockingly.

Haya fakely offended, they both walked from there. Umeed started scrolling her phone. Suddenly someone called her name, she turned around and got terribly shocked.

"Waleed! Tum?" Umeed screamed excitedly.

"Han! Tum yahan kese?" Waleed asked surprisingly.

"Mujhe choro aur betho, tum kahan gayab ho?" Umeed asked smilingly, he took his seat front of her.

"Mein kahin gayab nahi hun, sirf kuch dino ke liye turkey gaya hua tha" Waleed told. "Tum batao tum yahan par akele ayi ho?" Waleed questioned.

"Nahi wo actually mein Haya aur Sameer ke sath ayi thi" Umeed told truthfully.

"Acha! Meinay suna hai ke tumhari shaadi hogayi hai?" Waleed asked, tried to confirmed.

"Han! Sahi suna hai" Umeed replied normally.

"Tum khush ho?" Waleed asked in concerned.

"Hmm" Umeed mumbled and smiled lightly.

"To kya arrange marriage hui hai ya love?" Waleed investigated.

"Arrange" Umeed replied.

"That's great?" Waleed chuckled.

"Tum batao, tum shaadi kab kar rahe ho?" Umeed asked, changed the topic.

"Pata nahi, pehle mere kuch dreams to pore hojain" Waleed replied jokingly.

"Han wo bhi hojaingay" Umeed said and giggled.

"Lekin tum to kabhi shaadi nahi karna chahti thi?" Waleed questioned.

"Han! Lekin jesa ham sochte hain hamesha wesa thori hota hai" Umeed replied in desperate tone.

"Koi problem hai?" Waleed asked curiously.

"Nahi! Koi problem nahi hai" Umeed assured him smilingly.

They both were talking, started recalling their university days. Waleed was her university best friend. Umeed shared her every problem and issues with him. Maybe, Waleed liked her but Umeed didn't wanted to get married so that's why he never expressed her feelings. He is such a kind hearted person and now his feeling was totally changed towards her.

After some minutes, Haya and Sameer returned back in the food court. Waleed greeted them respectfully, they greeted back. They took their seats as well.

"Umeed! Ab mein nikalta hun" Waleed excused.

"Kyu! Meinay abhi order dia hai, tum abhi nahi jaa sakte" Umeed complained.

"I am sorry! Phir kabhi, actually mujhe ghar jana hai, ami intezar kar rahi hongi, yahan par bhi mein sirf apne dost ke sath aya tha aur ab wo bhi ja chuka hai" Waleed exclaimed.

"It's ok! Lekin baad mein milne zaror ana" Umeed commanded.

"Done! Khuda hafiz" Waleed agreed and greeted.

Umeed greeted back, he leaves from there.

"Ye kafi dino baad kahan se agaya?" Sameer commented.

"Turkey se" Umeed replied normally.

"Acha! Ab jaldi lunch karo, ghar chalne ki tayari karo" Haya commanded.

"Acha baba! Theek hai, pehle lunch to karlen" Umeed said nonchalantly.
