After college, Zaroon and Hassan went to have a look over the business. It was mainly handled by managers, only the most important deals were taken to them. They were lucky enough to have good people in their company.

Next morning, Zaroon woke up early so that he could go to his parent's place for breakfast. He had moved out when he was 18. He loved his parents, but the need for independence was strong in him. Earlier, Zaroon and Hassan lived in the same apartment, but with time, they bought their own houses.

Zaroon's house was really beautiful. He had put a lot of effort in making it as he dreamt of it being.

The place of his parents was like a mansion. All the parties and gatherings were placed in the house itself. He had an elder brother (Zeeshan), who was married to Amna. He had a healthy relationship with everyone.

Zaroon entered the house and his mom was first to see him. She hugged him and informed that his father was already at the dinner table.

" Assalam ualaikum " he greeted his father and took a seat. A big smile broke across Mr Shah's face. He felt proud whenever he saw Zaroon. He knew that his son was egoistic, arrogant and what not, but they overlooked it all the time due to their love for him.

They had breakfast together. Zaroon got up to leave, when his mother said, " why don’t you shift back? What’s the need of a separate house? I don’t like not being able to see my son for days. "

" Mom, I try to visit as frequently as possible. And you will only worry all the time, if I would shift back. I stay outside mostly. " Zaroon said hugging her.

" You wanted to make a name for yourself. And you have already achieved it, so why don’t you just come back?" his mom asked sadly.
" There’s a lot more, but I give you my words, I will shift back when there would be someone to take care of me like Bhabhi takes care of bhai. " Zaroon said teasingly as he saw mama filling Zeeshan’s cup with tea.

He went to university afterwards. Areej got a hold of him after class. He felt agitated seeing her.

"Zaroon !!!!?" Areej called him as he tried to surpass her avoiding her. She held his arm and it made him reach his limits.

"Stop disturbing me all the time. The thing you want can never happen, so stop wasting your and my time!" Zaroon said with anger spitting out of his voice.

Areej felt her heart stopping for a second. There was a lot more than just anger in his eyes. She could see the indifference, irritation in them.
She quickly let go of his arm. Armaan went away without another word. The vibes radiating out of him were enough to stop anyone from approaching.
