The cheesecake was ready perfectly, Umeed was decorating the cheesecake lovingly, Mimi was just looked at her with soft smile, she knew her feelings, she knew her pure love for his brother, Mimi shook her shoulder and Umeed looked at her.

"Kya hua Mimi, aisa kya dekh rahi ho?" Umeed asked surprisely.

"Ye dekh rahi hun ke meri dost kitni pagal hogai hai" Mimi said and smiled towards her.

"Matlab?" Umeed didn't understood.

"Matlab ye ke tum bhai bht lucky hain ke tum jesi larki inse itna pyaar karti hai, matlab tumhari to koi limit hi nahi hai" Mimi said meekly, got little bit surprised.

"Dekho Mimi, meinay Farjaad se koi expectations nahi lagai hain, ye sirf one-sided feeling hai aur kuch nahi" Umeed said confidently.

"Umeed, tumhari mohabbat itne pure hai na ke mein explain nahi karsakti, you are the best" Mimi said with soft smile, hugged her tightly. Umeed hugged her back and they broke their hug when they heard the sound of horn.

"Mujhe lagta hai bhai agaye" Mimi said and grinned.

"Han, chalo chal kar dekhte hain" Umeed said excitingly.

Mimi took the dish and kept it inside the fridge, they both quickly went outside the kitchen and went in the lawn. Niggo Ji and Shujaat sahab were already present there for welcoming him, Driver opened the back door for Farjaad and he smilingly went outside the car, he was wearing a glasses, simple white shirt and jeans. Umeed looked at him and lost in him completely, her heart was beating fast, hands was shivering, her cheeks were red. Mimi looked at her best friend who becomed the statue at that moment.

"Umeed bas, control rakho bhai kahin nahi jaingay" Mimi whispered softly and giggled.

Umeed just slightly nodded her head, Farjaad went to his father and hugged him, Shujaat sahab greeted him, then he went to her mother and hugged her as well. Niggo Ji was so happy after seeing his son.

"Bhai" Mimi said softly and grinned, Farjaad and Mimi hugged each other smilingly, they broke their hugged.

Farjaad walked towards Umeed who was smiling towards him, Umeed heart stopped at that moment when he came towards him.

"Hi Umeed, how are you" Farjaad said softly, he extended his hand for the handshake.

"Ahhhh, i am fine" Umeed smiled and shaked her hand with him, Umeed felt current. She was totally blanked now.

"Umeed, is everything ok? Why are you shivering?" Farjaad asked meekly.

"Yes, i am fine" Umeed voice was broking, she said softly and smiled.

"Farjaad beta, chalo andar chalte hain" Niggo Ji stated.

Farjaad, Niggo Ji and Shujaat Sahab went inside the home. Umeed eyes was teary, she was almost crying, she can't believe that Farjaad is infront of him. Mimi went to her and looked at her.

"Umeed sambhalo apne apko, bhai agaye hain aur ab tumhe kahin chor kar nahi jaingay" Mimi whispered confindetly.

"Han mujhe pata hai, chalo andar chalte hain" Umeed said excitingly.

"Aur tum roo kyu rahi ho" Mimi said and wiped her tears, she held her hand and they went inside.

Umeed and Mimi were arranging the dining table, then they both took their seats, sat infront of each other. Farjaad came there, took his seat and sat beside Umeed. Mimi winked at Umeed, she gestured her to keep quiet. Umeed heart was beating fast, hands was started shivering. They started their dinner.

"Wese Farjaad, ab mein na tumhe kahin nahi jane dungi" Niggo Ji said, warned him.

"Han maa, ab to wese bhi sara kaam khatam hogaya hai, ab mein yahi rahonga" Farjaad said while took a bite.

"Bhai, wese ab apko shaadi ka sochna chaiye" Mimi spoke gently while looking at Umeed. Farjaad smiled and nodded his head.

"Han, Mimi sahi kehrahi hai" Shujaat Sahab added.

"Wese meri nazar mein ek dou larkiyan hain" Mimi said jokingly, looked at Umeed.

Umeed started coughing, Farjaad quickly pour the water in the glass and extended the glass towards her. Umeed took the glass and drank water.

"Umeed, mujhe tumhari tabiyat theek nahi lagrahi" Niggo Ji asked in concern.

"Nahi, mein theek hun" Umeed said confidently.

"Nahi mom, Umeed ki tabiyat ab jakar theek hui hai" Mimi said, winked at her.

Umeed lowered her glaze and controlled her blushing.

**********

After dinner, Umeed and Mimi enters in the lawn, Mimi was teasing her jokingly, they both were smiling and giggling.

"Mimi, ye tum kya karahi ho, meri jaan lene ka irada hai?" Umeed complained.

"Areee tumhari jaan to tumhare andar hai hi nahi, haina?" Mimi again teased her, Umeed fakely offend.

"Tum log meri mohabbat ko mazak samjhte ho" Umeed asked tensely.

"Tumhari nazar mein mohabbat kya hai?" Mimi asked.

Umeed smiled and looked at sky, "bas meri nazar mein to pora jahan hai, mohabbat insaan ko jeena sikhati hai" Umeed replied blushingly.

"Lekin mohabbat se insaan kamzor nahi hojata?" Mimi asked another question, tried to confused her.

At that time, Farjaad enters in the lawn and heard the Mimi's question, he went towards them, Mimi saw Farjaad and about to said something but he gestured her to keep quiet.

"Nahi, mohabbat to insaan ko majboot kardeti hai, ye ek tarfa ehsas hi mere liye sab kuch hai, mohabbat mein to insaan bas pagal hojata hai" Umeed said and lightly giggled.

Umeed happily turned back and saw Farjaad was standing infront of her, he was smirking. Umeed got shocked, her heart was stopped and she startled.

"Han to ap mohabbat ke bare mein speech derahi thi, kahiye agai?" Farjaad said in sarcastic way.

"Wo, mein to bas aisi kehrahi thi" Umeed hesitately replied with smile.

"Ahh bhai, ap dono discuss karein mein chai ke kehne jarahi hun" Mimi interuppted and Umeed went from there.

"Mimi, meri baat to suno" Umeed tried to stopped her but Mimi leaves from there.

Farjaad and Umeed looked at each other smilingly, "Farjaad ko dekh kar to meri awaz band hojati hai, ab jawab kese dungi" Umeed thought in her mind.

"Han to bataiye, kya kehrahi thi ap" He said and folded his hands.

"Mohabbat ke bare mein bata rahi thi" Umeed replied confidently.

"To tumhe kisi se mohabbat hai jo tum Mimi ko explain karahi thi?" Farjaad asked.

"Mohabbat karna ya na karna hamare ikhtiyar mein nahi hota" Umeed replied softly, again lost in him.

"Acha, to phir kiske ikhityar mein hota hai?" Farjaad asked, tried to confused her.

"Hamare dil ke, dil jis par bhi ajaye wo sab se haseen lagta hai" Umeed responded confidently, she smiled.

"Acha, tum wohi student ho na jo hamesha top karti thi, kitni parhai mein serious thi, ab kya hogaya hai?" Farjaad asked surprisely.

"Han to meinay apni parhai khatam karli hai aur mujhe jise serious lena tha meinay ise lelia hai" Umeed responded while lowering her glaze.

"Tum na paka pagal hogai ho" Farjaad said and lightly giggled.

"Han, mein pagal hun" Umeed said and blushed, fastly walked from there.

"By the way, cheesecake bht acha tha" Farjaad shouted with smile.

Umeed stopped and controlled her smile, she turned around and said, "thank you" she went from there.

Farjaad surprisely focused on her, suddenly his phone started ringing. He took out his phone from the pocket and the screen showing the name of "love" Farjaad smilingly received the call.

"Hello Reena, how are you" Farjaad said softly.

"I am fine, mujhe aj pata chala hai ke tum agaye ho to meinay socha ke tumhe call hi karlun" Reena said meekly.

"Han, sham mein hi aya hun" Farjaad replied.

"Tumne mujhe miss nahi kia?" Reena asked.

"Bht miss kia, tumhara khayal dil se ja nahi raha tha" Farjaad said lovingly.

"Achi baat hai, jana bhi nahi chaiye lekin mein tumse bht naraz hun" Reena offended.

"Kyu meinay kya kia hai" Farjaad shockly asked.

"Tum ek saal ke liye gayab hogaye, sirf phone calls par hi baat karte the, tumne kitna wait karwaya hai" Reena complained irritately.

"Acha i am sorry, tum naraz to mat ho" Farjaad apologized.

"Hmm, its ok lekin ainda aisa nahi karna" Reena ordered.

"Han, ab mein tumhare pass hamesha ke liye agaya hun" Farjaad said, smiled.

"Han, isi baat se to mein satisfy hun" Reena stated.

"Acha ab bataiye, apke ghar kab aon rishta lekar?" Farjaad asked lovingly.

"Jab apka dil chahe, wo to baad mein decide karlenge" Reena said.

"Acha theek hai, jesa ap kahen" Farjaad lightly giggled.

"Ok, ab mein apko thori der mein call karti hun, mujhe mom bula rahi hain, bye" Reena requested to him.

"Han ok bye, take care" Farjaad said softly, they declined the call.

*******

Umeed and Mimi were sipping the tea in Mimi's room.

"Wese Umeed, tumne ek saal tak bhai ka intezar kese karlia?" Mimi asked in low tone.

"Mohabbat to intezar ka naam hai, agar mujhe aur intezar bhi karna pare na to mujhe koi masla nahi" Umeed said confidently, she smiled.

"Tum to bilkul hi pagal hogai" Mimi said, surprised at her.

"Tum sab ka yahi masla hai, har mohabbat karne wale ko pagal hi kehte ho, jab tumhe mohabbat hogi na tab pochongi" Umeed said, warned her confidently.

"Han, mohabbat to mujhe hogi lekin tumhari jesi mohabbat koi nahi kar sakta" Mimi replied.

"Pata nahi lekin tumhara bhai mujh se mohabbat nahi karta aur na mein ise zabardasti mohabbat karwa sakti hun" Umeed said meekly.

"To hamesha bhai se aisi mohabbat hi karti rahogi?" Mimi asked shockly.

"Han, mohabbat mein koi choice nahi hoti, ek hi baar hoti hai aur aisi hoti hai ke koi bhi is mohabbat ko khatam nahi karsakta" Umeed explained her.

"Aisa nahi hai Umeed, kabhi kabhi apko mohabbat dobara hojati hai" Mimi stated.

"Mimi, tumhe mohabbat ka sahi matlab nahi pata, attractive hone mein aur mohabbat mein bht farq hota hai" Umeed smilingly.

"Mohabbat mein meri pyaari dost ne PHD ki hui hai, mein tumse nahi jeet sakti" Mimi said and chuckled.

"Wo to hai" then they both giggled.

***********

After sometime, Sameer picked Umeed from the Bahadur house and she came back to her home. Umeed enters in her room happily while Haya was sitting and busy in her phone.

"Haya, Haya" Umeed called her name excitingly, Haya kept her phone and looked at her.

"Kya hua, mehboob ka deedar hogaya?" Haya asked and teased her.

"Han, tumhe pata hai aj to Farjaad ko dekh kar mera dil band hogaya tha, meri to sansein atak gai thi" Umeed said with absent mind, again lost in her thoughts.

"To janab ke dil sukoon aa hi gaya" Haya said and giggled.

"Han, mein bht khush hun" Umeed whispered and grinned.

"Umeed, kafi raat hogai hai ab tum jao aur jakar change karo, then phir rest karlena" Haya demanded.

"Han, aj to mere hath ke bane cheesecake ki bhi tareef ki gai hai" Umeed said and smiled wildly.

"Acha, ab jao aur jakar fresh hojao" Haya giggled and ordered.

Umeed gave a side hugged to her and went for freshen up.

*********

After some time, Haya slept and Umeed was still awake, smiling in her thoughts. She slowly took out her diary from the drawer and took the pen from the pencil holder, she went towards the balcony and sat on her "jhoola" started writing in the diary.

"Ek saal mein meri jaan mein koi badlao nahi aya, wahi ankhein, wahi muskurahat, wahi awaz, wahi attitude. Farjaad ko to ye bhi nahi pata ke mein inhi ke peeche pagal hun aur shayad inhe pata bhi nahi chalega lekin ek waqt aiga ke mein inhe sab kuch sach sach bataongi, iske baad jo faisla inka hoga wahi mera hoga"

"Zarori to nahi hai na ke ham kisi se mohabbat karein to wo bhi ham se mohabbat karein, mere liye mere Farjaad ki khushi zyada ahem hai aur mein inhi ki khushi mein bht khush hun"

Umeed smiled and closed her eyes smilingly, she opened her eyes and found Farjaad infront of her.

"Umeed, kahan rehti ho?" Farjaad asked in whispering tone.

"Isi duniya mein" Umeed replied with smile.

"Tu jaane naaa,
Tu jaane naaa,
Tu jaane naaa,
Tu jaane naa"

Umeed stood up, he extended his hand and Umeed happily held his hand, he started twirling her and pulled her closer to him, their eyes met.

"Milke ham na mile,
Tum se na jaane kyu, milon ke,
Hain fasle, tum se na jaane kyu,
Anjaane, hain silsile,
Tum se na jaane kyu sapne hain,
Palkon taale, tum se na jaane kyuuuu,
Tu jaane naa,
Tu jaana naa"

Farjaad held his hand and kept it on his heart. Actually, this was the illuison, this was the imagination, this was the Umeed's world, the world of her imagination, the world of her happiness, the world of her another world.

Umeed smiled and looked at the sky, the stars. Umeed put her diary on her heart and closed her eyes happily. She went inside her room and sat on her bed, again started writing.

"Farjaad khan bahadur ki mohabbat ne mujhe itna pagal kardia hai ke wo har jagah mujhe nazar araha hai, ye mohabbat meri duniya hai, Farjaad Khan se hi Umeed Pasha hai" Umeed lightly giggled, kept her diary inside the drawer.

Umeed laying down smilingly, closed her eyes and slept....
