Zoya "Are you sure that you're going with Irtaza?", ammi exclaimed. Her face was curled up and her eyes furiously scanned me from head to toe when I was pressing my hair with the straightener. "Yes, ammi", I passed her a smile. "It's just a casual lunch and he's my partner. I don't think you should be so worried" Ammi frowned, still scanning me with her suspicious eyes. "Casual dinner? Like this? I mean you're too over-prepared for a casual lunch. And I can't understand why you're so happy for lunch with Irtaza. Don't forget that you're still married", she reminded me. And I could sense the tension inside her. I passed her a smile through the mirror. "Are you doubting your own daughter, ammi?", I teased her while chuckling. "Sort of. You were weeping for a week. You didn't even smile properly and now you seem to be so happy. Shouldn't I doubt?", she crossed her arms and rolled her fury eyes at me. "You don't want me to

  Abrar It gave a rise to the unknown anxiety inside me. She could smile with Irtaza and her damn smile vanished when she saw me? Heck! I never felt so pissed on her ever. Our eyes were still connected. I couldn't stop looking at her. It had been a long time since I peered deep into her back kohl applied eyes. The last time when we met I was so in my anger that I couldn't look at her properly. The last time when I saw her so intensely was the night of her birthday party, during that dance. I couldn't speak anymore. "Woho! Such a pleasant surprise", Irtaza laughed mockery laughter. It pulled me out of my muse as I drove my eyes away from her. I shouldn't be doing that. "Abrar", she seemed to be shocked. "You're here?" I pressed my lips to stay normal and speak as much as I should. "You called me. I mean about the dish", I reminded her. "Yeah", she chuckled, looking down. "That's why I wonder why it came out

  Abrar Her face was just half an inch apart. I could see her devastated eyes quivering and lingering around my face. She was so close to me, so hell closes after so many days. I could sense her heart throbbing so fast as if it would come out right now. "Abrar—" her voice came out as a whisper and it worked like a tonic to the burning flame inside me. I peered deep into her eyes. The next moment, I came back to my senses and clasped her arms tightly. "Why do you keep doing this, Zoya?", I groaned. "I— what?" She acted as if she didn't know anything but I knew her so well. So well that I could figure out what she was trying to do. "Don't act so innocent, Zoya Ali. You're anything but innocent at all", I gasped under my breath. Her eyes started turning red as if she wasn't expecting those words from me. "Will you listen to me once?" She requested softly but the vision of that moment that happened a few minutes ago ke

  KaifI knew he was going to bump into Zoya today and I wanted full details to deliver to Mr Ali. After all, now I was working under him. Wow, Kaif. You're such a useful person. I praised myself inside. First, Abrar, then Zoya, then Mr Ali. These three people literally found me to get their work done. And also that Queen Cleopatra."Just at the road", he drove his eyes away and walked towards the dining table to get water.Liar. I gasped. I couldn't believe he would still hide things from me."Really? You just saw and didn't even talk. And look at you. It seems like you guys had a heated moment", as I said, he turned and glared at me.His glare turned into a frown right away."You knew that Zoya would be there. Didn't you?"Darn it!He knew me better than I knew him."Ah! Well", I tried to make up a story."Don't lie, Kaif", he gritted his teeth."And what about the lie you just t

 KaifA holiday of three days.That was weird. Work from home. From when did they start this?I scratched my head, looking at the mobile screen. What was that holiday for? We never got such holidays if there were no festivals and working from home was my least favourite. I tossed the phone aside. Was that related to Zoya's case?Gosh!The whole company would never revolve only around them. There might be some other reason. Who cared? I could finally take some rest at home. I just woke up this morning and got the news.That meant I could sleep more. Chuckling, I pushed myself on the bed again, pulling on the blanket."Kaif!" Ammi's voice came aloud. "Kaif! You'll be late. Won't you get up?""Ammi, I'm having an off day. Don't disturb", I muttered from the quilt."Why?" Ammi screamed. She had to know every single thing."I don't know. Please now let me sleep", saying I finally closed my eyes to have ano
