Next morning, Umeed woked up first. She looked at Farjaad who was still keeping her hand on his eyes. Umeed smiled lightly, she slowly moved towards her and touched his hairs. She started patted his hand like a kid. Suddenly, he woked and looked at her surprisely. Umeed quickly moved backward, started pretending normally.

"Kya karahi thi?" Farjaad asked strictly.

"Mein?" Umeed asked, looked at him confidently.

"Jee ap" Farjaad replied, fakely offended.

"Ap mera hath pakar kar sogaye the, isliye mein apka hath hata rahi thi" Umeed replied hesitately.

"Acha, mera balon ke sath kya kia hai?" Farjaad asked in sarcastic tone.

"Kya matlab?" Umeed asked, got confused.

"Matlab ye ke, mein dobara sojata hun aur tum dobara wahi karo" Farjaad said happily, again laying down in straight poster and closed his eyes.

Umeed controlled her smile, she stood up and went towards his side. She slowly pinched his forehead, Farjaad lightly shouted and Umeed giggled, Farjaad annoying looked at her.

"Meinay to yahi kia tha, ab baki apko jo samjhna hai ap samjhe" Umeed said while laughing.

Farjaad stood up and about to went towards her, but Umeed quickly enters in the washroom within two seconds. Farjaad smiled brightly, again sat on the bed.

*********

The evening was absolutely beautiful. Umeed was standing in balcony, starring outside while smiling. She was remembering her moments with Farjaad.
Mimi enters in the balcony, stood beside her and looked at her smilingly.

"Umeed?" Mimi whispered, shook her shoulder.

Umeed looked at her, "fursat hogayi mujh se milne ki?" She asked in sarcastic tone, tried to teased her.

"Mujhe to fursat milgayi lekin aj kal apko fursat nahi hai" Mimi said, jokingly taunted at her.

"Areee, kya matlab?" Umeed asked, tried to pretend.

"Matlab ye ke bhai tumhe apne se dur jane hi nahi dete" Mimi said softly.

"Pagal hogayi ho, aisa kuch nahi hai" Umeed said shyly, looked at sky.

"Tum naa kabhi nahi samjh paogi, bhai tumhe chahne lage hain" Mimi said confidently and smiled brightly.

Umeed surprisely looked at her, "pagal hogayi ho?"

"Umeed, meinay tumse kaha tha na ke kismat hamesha ek jesi nahi rehti, bhai ki kismat mein tum thi aur dekho inhe tum milgayi" Mimi explained her meekly.

"Han, ye baat to mein bhi manti hun" Umeed said, again lost in her thoughts.

"Haina lekin aj ka sara time ap mere sath guzarengi" Mimi said, insisted her.

"Hmm, theek hai, ham batein karenge" Umeed said and they giggled.

Mimi hugged her joyly and jokingly, they started talking with each other while giggling.

********

Farjaad was sitting on the bed while using his phone. He was continously looked towards the door, waited for Umeed. He kept the phone on the side table, made a face.

Umeed enters in the room, looked at Farjaad suspiciously, She came towards the bed.

"Fursat hogayi room mein ane ki?" Farjaad said, taunted at her.

"Kya matlab?" Umeed asked.

"Mein office se aya hun aur tum mujh se milne bhi nahi ayi" Farjaad complained like a baby.

"Mein Mimi se baton mein busy thi, wo bhi meri dost hai bechari bore horahi thi" Umeed replied truthfully.

"Han to abhi bhi ap room mein kyu ayi hain, jaiye Mimi se batein kijiye" Farjaad said in sarcastic tone.

"Theek hai, mein jarahi hun aur wohi sojaongi" Umeed said, got fakely annoyed.

Umeed extended her hand about to took the pillow but Farjaad held her hand smilingly, she confusingly looked at him.

"Chup chap, yahi betho, kahin jane ki zarorat nahi hai" Farjaad said, ordered her.

Umeed smiled lightly, sat on the bed. They looked at each other, the eyes was speaking louder than their words. Farjaad moved closer to her, sat infront of her. He held her both wrist tightly, Umeed was observing his each action shockingly and confusingly. Her heart was beating fastly.

"Umeed, ek baat kahun?" Farjaad asked softly.

"Hmmm" Umeed mumbled.

"Tum bht achi ho, infact sab se achi hai, thank you so much" Farjaad stated lovingly.

Umeed didn't knew how to react, she was hearing him while losting in him, She smiled

"Thank you kis cheeze ke liye?" Umeed questioned.

"Mujhe sambhalne ke liye, meri har taunt ko, har baat ko ignore karne ke liye, tumhari jagah koi aur hota to kabhi bhi aisa nahi karta" Farjaad explained while lowering his glazed.

"Mein dil par chot khane ka dard bht ache se samjh sakti hun, har insaan ko move on karne mein time lagta hai" Umeed said.

"Lekin galat choices par move on nahi kia jata, dil se nikal dia jata hai" Farjaad said in hard tone.

"Ye bhi hai" Umeed said.

"Wese, ek baat poch sakta hun?" Farjaad asked hesitately.

"Jee pochiye" Umeed replied.

"If you don't mind, kya tum mujhe bata sakti ho ke wo larka akhir tha kon, iska naam kya tha?" Farjaad asked confidently.

Umeed got mini heart attack, her hands started shivering. Farjaad observed her face, got surprised.

"Kya hua Umeed, tum theek ho?" Farjaad asked worriedly.

"Hmm, mein theek hun" Umeed replied and smiled.

"I am sorry, tum agar nahi batana chahti to nahi batao, mein tumhe force nahi karonga" Farjaad said meekly.

"Farjaad, ab wo chapter meri zindagi se close hogaya hai, ab meri zindagi ka naya chapter shuru hua hai, ye chapter mere liye zyada khubsurat hai" Umeed explained innocently.

"Hmm" Farjaad whispered.

"Apne khana kha liya?" Umeed asked, tried to changed the topic.

"Nahi, apka intezar karaha tha" Farjaad said and smiled.

"Meinay bhi khana nahi khaya" Umeed replied.

"To chaliye, ham dinner karte hain" Farjaad stated.

Umeed nodded her head, they went outside the room, They reached in the kitchen and Umeed checked the fridge.

"Farjaad, lagta hai khana khatam hogaya hai" Umeed guessed.

"Han to ham bahar se order karlete hain" Farjaad said relaxingly, found a solution.

"Is time par?" Umeed said, she got surprised.

"Han, ya to ham bahar chalte hain" Farjaad popped another idea.

"Nahi, halat kharab hai, ham aisa bahar nahi jasakte" Umeed said tensely.

"To kya tum khana banaogi?" Farjaad asked.

"Hmm, mein na chicken pasta banaleti hun, mushroom pasta se to apko allergy hai na" Umeed replied happily.

"Tumhe kese pata ke mujhe mushroom se allergy hai?" Farjaad asked surprisely.

Umeed realized what she had said, "wo mujhe Mimi ne bataya tha" Umeed replied, tried to covered the compliment.

"Acha ok, balke mein pasta banata hun" Farjaad said confidently.

"Nahi, mujhe is time par apni tabiyat kharab nahi karwani" Umeed mocked.

"Not so funny" Farjaad said, fakely offended.

"Acha, are you sure ke ap pasta banalenge?" Umeed asked, tried to test his patience.

"Jee, mein bana chuka hun aur apko banakar dikhaonga" Farjaad said surely, challanged her.

Umeed sat on the chair, Farjaad blinked his eyes and went towards the fridge. He took some cutted vegetables, kept it on the plate.

"Farjaad, ap se nahi hoga, mein help kardeti hun" Umeed mocked and giggled, tried to helped him.

"Ap meharbani karke bethi rahen, apko khana miljaiga" Farjaad said confidently.

Farjaad started preparing the pasta, he took the pan and fried the chicken and vegetables. Umeed was just smiling and loving starring him, she was lost in him as always.

Finally, he made the pasta and served in a dish. He kept the dish and plates on the table, sat infront of her.

"Jee, to ap tayar hain ye pasta try karne ke liye?" Farjaad asked.

"Allah reham kare" Umeed said jokingly and giggled.

Farjaad pouted, Umeed blinked her eyes and served the pasta in the pasta. She tried and took a bite, got surprised.

Farjaad smilingly raised his eyebrows.

"Not bad, bht acha bana hai" Umeed appreciated lovingly.

"Thank you, ab mein sukoon se khana kha sakta hun" Farjaad said and giggled.

"Farjaad ne mere liye khana banaya hai, mujhe to yaqeen nahi araha, ye shaks mujhe har baar apne liye pagal kardeta hai" Umeed thought in her mind, completely lost in him.

Farjaad looked at her while eating, "Umeed?" He called her name softly, Umeed smiled and nodded her head. She started eating, they started talking and spend quality time and together.

*********

The next morning was absolutely beautiful, the sun was shining. The sun rays fell on Umeed's face, she woked up and went for freshen up.

Umeed came outside the washroom, she took her diary and pen from the cupboard and sat on the sofa. She started writing.

"Shayad, ab mujhe sab kuch acha lagne laga hai, meinay kabhi nahi socha tha ke mujhe sab kuch aise milega"

Umeed didn't knew how to react, she just closed the diary and again kept it on its position.

********

"Beta, ham zarori kaam se islamabad jarahe hain, jaldi wapis ajaingay" Niggo Jee explained softly.

Bahadur family were sitting on their seats, took their breakfast peacefully.

"Lekin agar aisa koi masla hai to mein chala jata hun" Farjaad said in concern.

"Nahi beta, tum sukoon se ghar par betho, ham chale jaingay" Shujaat Sahab replied smilingly.

"Bhai, wese bhi maa aur baba jaldi ajaingay, ham teeno to ghar par hain" Mimi added.

"Acha, theek hai mein airport tak drop kardunga" Farjaad said and smiled.

"Theek hai" Niggo Jee agreed.

"Farjaad, wo paratha pass kijiye ga" Umeed requested.

"Kaho to khila bhi dun?" Farjaad whispered in flirting tone.

Umeed looked at him with big eyes, Farjaad smiled and raised his eyebrows. She slowly pinched him, tried to control her smile.

*********

Niggo Jee and Shujaat Sahab leaves for Islamabad. Farjaad dropped them on airport, directly came back to the home.

Umeed was walking in her room, lost in her thoughts. Farjaad smilingly enters in the room, they looked at each other.

"Kya hua, tum aise kyu ghoom rahi ho, tabiyat theek hai?" Farjaad asked anxiously.

"Hmm, mein theek hun" Umeed smilingly replied.

"Mein chai lekar ati hun" Umeed said hesitately, about to move but he held her wrist.

"Mujhe chai nahi peeni" Farjaad told and smiled.

"To coffee banadun?" Umeed asked.

"Nahi, mujhe nahi chaiye, just relax" Farjaad described meekly and they smiled.

Suddenly, someone opened the door fastly. They looked towards the door, Reena enters in the room and angrily looked at them. Farjaad and Umeed got hell shocked to saw her. Reena started clapping sarcastically

"Hii Farjaad" Reena said, taunted at him.

"Tum wapis agayi?" Farjaad asked normally.

"Han, ye dekhne ayi hun ke tumhe cheat karna kitne ache se ata hai" Reena yelled.

"Cheat tumne kia hai, meinay nahi" Farjaad shouted.

"No, mein sirf ek saal ke liye bahar kya chali gayi, tumne Umeed se shaadi karli" Reena complained.

"Meinay tum se request ki thi lekin tumne meri ek nahi suni" Farjaad said, pointed his fingers towards him.

"To iska matlab to yahi hua na, ke tum dhokebaaz ho" Reena shouted.

Umeed moved forward, "shut up Reena, behave your self, tameez se baat karo aur chali jao yahan se" Umeed shouted, warned him angrily.

"How dare you" Reena said dangerously, got annoyed and about to slapped but Farjaad held her hand.

"No Reena, tum mere hote hue Umeed par hath nahi utha sakti" Farjaad said, released her hand fastly.

Umeed got confused, Mimi enters in the room and went to her.

"Reena, please jao yahan se" Mimi said.
