Next Day:
Zaroon was Sitting on couch in living room where her mother Aabiya came and handled him his coffee mug to which he gave her a smile.After giving him Coffee she sat down beside him and he looked at her.
"Zaroon,I wantef to ask you something!"she said.
"Yes ammi."he replied typing something on laptop.
"Beta what do you think about Afiya?"she asked.
"Umm she is my cousin and she is a nice girl."he replied sipping his coffee and not getting idea what his mother's words meant.
"That even i know,i am thinking of asking her hand in marriage for you."she said looking at him.
Hearing her words his neck suddenly turned towards her with shock.
"Ammi i have always seen her as my little sister."he said looking at her shock clearly visible on his face.
"But beta you were staring at her in Ibrahim's wedding so I thought..."she said.
He took a deep breath and closed his laptop,he turned fully towards her.
"Ammi i was not staring at her i was watching the girl standing with her"he said in small voice.
"So do you want.."she was interrupted before completing her sentence.
"Ammi she was looking worried so i was just watching her that may be I could help her in some way. Nothing else."he said half lying.
"Okay!"her mother said getting up.
His mouth left a sigh watching her mother's retreating back.

In Morning:
"Mamma i have got message from the college that students have to go and collect their internship related information, so i will be leaving after breakfast."zehra said sitting on breakfast table where everyone was present.
"From when your internship is starting?"her father asked while sipping his tea.
"I don't know papa i will get to know about it today only."she replied.
"Okay your car has came from service but drive carefully."her dada said.
"Dada I always drive slowly and carefully."she said smiling sweetly at him.
"But you should say someone else to drive slowly and carefully for sure."she mumbled slowly eyeing his brother.
Who unfortunately heard it and started chocking his food.
She left a chuckle seeing his red face from all the coughing.
Ignoring his glares she told her mother.
"And mamma i will be going to afi's house in return because she forgot to take her watch from me in Ibrahim bhai's wedding."she said eating her food.
"Is there any particular time to visit college?"her mother asked.
"No,but why are you asking?"she asked.
"Because if it is not then I suggest you to go first to her house so you can meet her and maybe you will be tired in return so you won't be able to go."she explained her reasons.
"Oh that's actually nice idea!"she said.
After completing her breakfast she took her belongings and left the house after greeting her mother,badi ammi and bhabhi.
~*~
"Beta drop me at your khala's house while going at office." Aabiya said to her son on breakfast.
"Okay Ammi be ready after breakfast."he said.
"But why are you going any special purpose of this visit?"zahir asked his wife.
"I am going to find a girl for my son!"she said happily.
"I didn't know from when sadiya(Afiya's mother)started matchmaking?"he said smiling teasingly.
"She has not started matchmaking but she can suggest good girls to me for Zaroon."she said glaring at her husband playfully.
"Okay Ammi i am done!"he said standing up from his seat.
~*~
"As salamu alaikum Auntie."Zehra greeted sadia as she entered in her house.
"Walaikum as salam beta,you are here in this morning.Is everything ok?"sadia asked getting tensed.
"Yes Auntie Alhamdulillah everything is fine.Afi forgot her watch so i just came to return it to her."Zehra said.
"Oh afiya and her irresponsibility."she said with a sigh.
"Beta,Afiya is in her room go and give it to her."she said politely.
"Okay Auntie."she replied and went towards her room.
~*~
"Zaroon beta atleast come inside and greet your khala then you can leave for your office."Aabiya Said.
"Okay ammi,you go i will come after parking."he said.
So here he was to drop his mother at his khala's house and now parking his car.
He entered inside house and greeted his khala and sat down.
After sometime he heard some unfamiliar girly voice and he turned to see her, again here she was the same girl he saw at cafe and at Ibrahim's wedding.she was greeting his ammi.
Who is she?
What is she doing here?
"Afi I forgot my niqaab(veil) in your room!"she said to afiya.
"Beta why are you leaving so early?"khala asked her.
"No Auntie I actually have to go college to receive my internship schedule."girl replied.
"Oh yes afiya was telling me that you have got your results,but what you have got?"Khala asked her.
"Alhamdulillah they are good."she told khala.
"Miss topper has topped university this time also."Afiya said coming towards her and the girl smiled shyly.
Oh!she is a topper.And she looks so cute...
Ahh stop your thinking there only Zaroon,it's not good to think like that.
"Masha allah."both my mother and khala replied in unison.
"Okay Auntie i am leaving now,Allah hafiz."she said to khala and nodded towards ammi.
She left from there but the whole time her eyes were either on khala,ammi or floor. She didn't even spare a glance towards me.
She is such a modest girl.
After chatting for sometime i took a leave from khala and drove towards my office trying to get out the thoughts of this girl.
~*~
After talking with afi for a while i came downstairs and was about to leave when i saw that Auntie was there with some man and Another woman which is afi's khalajaan as she had introduced me to her at Ibrahim Bhai's wedding. So i greeted her with salaam and kept my eyes on floor as to not look at some unknown man.
And then I noticed that i have forgot my niqaab(veil) in afi's room.
"Afi I forgot my niqaab(veil) in your room!"I said to afi.
"Beta why are you leaving so early?"Auntie asked me.
"No Auntie I actually have to go college to receive my internship schedule."I replied.
"Oh yes afiya was telling me that you have got your results,but what you have got?"Auntie asked me again.
"Alhamdulillah they are good."I told her.
"Miss topper has topped university this time also."Afi said coming towards me and I couldn't control and smiled shyly.
"Masha allah."both Auntie and Afi's khala replied in unison.
"Okay Auntie i am leaving now,Allah hafiz." I said to Auntie and nodded towards Afi's Khala.
After that i went to my college where i got the information about the hospitals where we will be doing our internships and some more important information then i head towards my home.
I came before lunch time and greeted Mamma and Badi ammi as they were working in kitchen and then after freshening up i came downstairs where suhaan was lying on bhabhi's lap i took him from her and started playing with him.
After having our lunch i was cleaning the table when mamma told me to come to her room as she wants to talk something with me.
I am feeling strange.
I didn't do anything wrong and today i even woke up early and even yesterday and I helped in kitchen also then??
Let it be i will get to know about it even if i had done something wrong i will ask for apology. Yeah that's right i will do that only.
After cleaning kitchen and praying Zuhr i went to my parents room where mamma was sitting on the bed and thinking something.
"Yes mamma aap ko kuch baat karni thi?"i asked.
(Yes mamma you wanted to talk something?)
"Come beta!"she told me patting bed in front of her so i went and sat in front of her.
"Beta you know we are very proud of you!"she said and smiled i nodded my head.
"You are a perfect daughter any parents would ask for,you have always made us proud and happy and now me and your papa has thought to complete our one more responsibility towards you so we can be content."she said but I can't understand what she wanted to say so i took hold of her hand and nodded her to continue.
"Beta We think that it's time that we should start searching for a suitable lifepartner for you and i wanted to know your views on this topic." She said.
"Mamma whatever you guys will decide i am Okay with that." I said with a smile.
"Do you have someone in your life that you think will be good for you or do you like someone?"she asked.
"No mamma I don't like someone nor i have someone in my mind."i stated truthfully.
"Okay then you don't have problem with getting married right?"she asked me hopefully.
I looked at her face and that was so hopeful and besides i knew that this has to be happen someday.
"No mamma I don't have any problem you can do whatever you think is best for me. I trust Allah and both of you." I told her.
She kissed my forehead and i left from there with all these thoughts.
