Irteza's POV
.
"Bhai, since when you have become so mean?" Zara accused me
"Mean? And me? do you know what you are saying? Have some fear of God" i said
"No she's right, you have changed, you don't love us anymore, the way you did" Arfa pouted, i chuckled, held her hand and pulled her making her sit next to me
"Oh really" i said pinching her nose and shaking her head
"Ow, bhaiii" she slapped my hand
"Why are you troubling my sisters?" Hamza came and sat next to zara
"I'm not troubling them, they are troubling me" i defended myself, Hamza chuckled
We were sitting in the living room and enjoying some brothers - sisters time together
"Liar" Arfa shouted
"Seriously Bhai, you have changed so much" zara shook her head
"What have I done? Why are you accusing me?" I said looking at Hamza
"Don't look at me, ask them" he shrugged
"Tell me" i said looking between my both sisters
"Earlier you used to take us for shopping and outing so frequently, but now it's been months since you've last took us" Arfa complained, zara nodded her head vigorously agreeing with Arfa
"So what is the big deal in this? You can take my card and do as much shopping as you want" i suggested
"Not shopping" zara shook her head
"Then?" I asked
"Something rejuvenating" Arfa said
"For that I will have to agree with them, it's been so long since we've gone somewhere, honestly I'm also quite tired of work, let's take a break" Hamza added
"Ok then let's go somewhere, where do you want to go girls?" I asked them
"You serious?" zara said
"Damn serious" i nodded
"Promise?" Arfa said
"Yes"
"What about you Hamza Bhai? You will also seriously come?" Zara asked
"Definitely" he said, both girls shouted in excitement, i smiled looking at them
"There is a resort we wanted to go to, can we go there for the weekend?" Arfa asked
"Whole weekend?" I asked, I was unsure if I can take such a long break from office
"I will not let you break the promise" zara said sensing the reluctance on my face
"But weekend is very long, i can't take that long break"
"He is right" Hamza agreed with me
"Fine" Arfa said, she looked upset, she was about to get up, but i held her hand
"Ok, weekend is fine" i said, i could not see her getting upset
"Yaayyyy" she shouted and hugged me
"Thank you Bhai" she said
"Hamza Bhai pleeaaase" zara gave him puppy eyes
"Ok" he got convinced
"I have everything planned, we will leave tomorrow evening and return on Sunday afternoon" zara said
"Let's inform Aleeza also" Arfa said, my smile dropped
"Hey hey, she's not coming with us" i said
"Bhai, please" Arfa said
"Aleeza also needs a break, we should take her with us" Hamza said, i rolled my eyes. Ofcourse he would say this
"She's coming, Arfa you go talk to her" zara said
Anabelle was running down the stairs, she was leaving in hurry
"Kiddo no, don't invite her" i requested
"Shut up Bhai" Arfa ran and held her
"What are you doing Arfa?" She asked
"We have made a plan to go out tomorrow and return on Sunday and we want you to come with us" Arfa pleaded
"Not me" i shouted
"Don't irteza" Hamza stopped me from talking, i gave him a dirty look
"Please leave me, i really have to go to the hospital, Dr Lubna is going to tell who will be performing the surgery, i gotta be there" she wiggled in her arms
"First you promise that you'll come, I'll leave you then" Arfa insisted
Why does she want that ghost to come with us? It's good if she's not coming
"Arfa yaar leave me"
"Promise first" Arfa said
"Just agree Aleeza, she will not leave you" zara said
"Fine I'll come, now leave me" she said, and Arfa left her
"Good decision" Arfa smirked, i scoffed
Good decision, my foot.
"I have agreed to come, but i can't say about dadi, i can only go if she allows me" Anabelle said
"So it's better you don't come with us" i couldn't stop myself from saying
"I told you to keep your mouth closed" Arfa narrowed her eyes at me, i put my hands up in surrender
"Don't worry about Nani, i will manage her" Hamza said,
"Ok" Anabelle shrugged, she glared at me, i stuck my tongue out at her and motioned her to get lost
For once she behaved smartly and left without saying anything
"I also need to go now" Hamza got up
"Yeah you guys plan everything and let me know" i got up and left from there for office

Aleeza's POV
.
"Are you upset?" Ankita asked
"Disappointed" i sighed, Zoya giggled
"So your trick didn't work this time? You couldn't fool anyone? Aww poor Aleeza" She said looking at me
"Shut up" i said in anger, she laughed
"Why? Because I am revealing your true colours?" Zoya said, i really felt like slaping her hard
"Enough Zoya" harsh stopped her
"So guys lunch is on me today" she announced and left
"Aaaahhhhh" i groaned in frustration
"It's ok Leeza" Ankita patted my back
"I will go to see some patients, it'll take my mind off it" i said and got up to leave
Zoya has become the best performer of the week, she has got the chance to assist bade papa in the surgery. Damn I'm so irritated right now
My phone vibrated in my pocket, i took out and saw Danish's call, i hissed in anger at him, it's all because of him, i rejected the call, he called again, i rejected again
"I thought you said your patients are your priority" someone said from behind me, i turned around and found Danish standing there, my eyes widened when I noticed blood oozing out of his head, i immediately ran to him and examined his injury
"Sister, dressing box" i shouted, a nurse came running and put it infront of me, i took out a sterile gauze and pressed it on his wound
"Come with me" i said and took him to the dressing room, i settled him on the chair and started treating his injury
"How did you get hurt?" I asked
"I banged my head on the wall" he shrugged
"Very funny, tell me seriously"
"I am" he said, my hands stopped working and i looked in his eyes, for the first time I felt scared of him
"Why?" I asked
"Because you said your patients are your priority, i want to be your priority, even if i have to get myself hurt again and again I will, because I want to stay close to you"
The girl in me wanted to slap him and run away from there, but the doctor in me overshadowed that girl, i just stood there and quietly finished off his dressing
"It's done" i said and turned to leave
"Aleeza wait" he held me
"Don't create a scene" i warned
"But i want to talk to you" he said coolly making me go crazy
"You think it's a joke? What do you think of yourself? Why are you troubling me? You think you will hurt yourself and i will get impressed by you, bullshit, you look like a fool to me right now, you think it is funny to bleed?" I said grinding my teeth, trying to control my rising temper
"I just wanted to be your priority"
"You can never be, for my patients i am always available, wherever they want me, however they want me, i will be there for them, but not for psychos like you. I don't ever want to see you in my hospital again, do you get it" i shouted in anger and without listening to his reply i left from there
*****
I can't believe dadi let me go out with everyone, in a way it's good, atleast I'll be away from the hospital, so Danish won't be able to trouble me, he has called me few times but I didn't answer
I am growing little excited about the trip now
"May be it'll be not that bad" i said to myself
The chain of my thoughts broke when a bag was thrown at me, i looked up, it was Tarzan who threw it
"I spoke to soon" i muttered under my breath
"Why are you glaring at me? Stop day dreaming and make a little room for my bag" he shouted
"Bhai, why do you always shout when Aleeza is around?" Zara asked
"Because she's hard of hearing" he laughed
I got up and jumped out of the jeep, i stood in front of him, we stared at each other
"You can't digest your food till you don't utter some nonsense?" I asked looking in his eyes
"Nah, it doesn't, gotta problem with that?" He raised his eyebrows
"Why would I have any? You do whatever you want, just don't talk to me"
"Oh my God, what have you said? How will I live without talking to you? I can't even breathe till I hear your voice. please don't stop me from talking to you" he said with an extremely made up voice and stupid hand gestures, he looked super annoying
"I wonder how people tolerate you" i frowned, he chuckled and came closer to me
"Trust me, they don't, they'll do anything to just even look at me" he said in deep voice
"You guys have started already?" Arfa came and stood between us, she pushed us away from each other
"Ohho Arfa, you've killed all the fun, i was enjoying looking at them" zara said, all of us turned to look at her
"Shut up" Tarzan and I yelled together
"Ok, relax guys" zara smiled sheepishly
"Are we ready to go?" Hamza came out of the house, he took off his backpack from his shoulder and kept in the jeep neatly
"Nice Hamza, you've placed your bag with such grace" i said, then i looked at Tarzan, "otherwise some people just throw their stuff around like they own the world" i taunted
"One day i will own the world also, but as of now i own this jeep, so I can do whatever I want with it, don't sit in my Jeep if it is bothering you so much" he retorted
"Who the hell are you to tell me not to come? I do this of my own free will" i snapped at him, he scoffed
"You take this "free will" as an excuse, otherwise it is your habit to barge in, like you have forced yourself in my house, it is in your habit to enter every open door, you are just taking advantage of my innocent family members" he said
"Enough Irteza, think before you speak" Hamza scolded him
"Well I don't want to speak at all, let's just go" he said and went to sit on the driving seat, "settle in a minute, otherwise I will change my mind" he said looking at Arfa and Zara
They both settled at the back, Arfa smacked the back of irteza's head
"You speak too much" she said, he just chuckled softly at her
"Let's go" Hamza said, i nodded and we both settled in, i sat with the girls at the back, he went to sit on the passenger seat
"Ready?" Irteza asked
"Yeah" Arfa and Zara shouted in excitement
"Here we go" he said and started driving
Hamza turned towards me, i was just sitting behind him
"I'm sorry on his behalf, please don't take it to your heart" he said to me
"It's ok, don't feel bad, if anyone else had said that to me i would have left the house immediately, but it is Tarzan, i never take him seriously" i gave him a smile, my eyes connected with Irteza, he shook his head
"You are such a nice person" he said, Irteza laughed sarcastically, Hamza looked at him
"Sorry sorry, you guys continue" he said in a mocking tone
Even though Hamza was talking in low tone, but since he was sitting next to Irteza, he could hear us
"Are we going to play any music?" Zara asked
"Here, be the DJ" Irteza passed his phone to her
"Sure" she giggled
She started playing songs, everybody started grooving, i put all the bad thoughts at the back of my head and just let myself enjoy
It was almost three hours drive, but by the time we reached all of us were so hungry, because this stupid Tarzan has some idiotic no eating in his jeep condition, he didn't let any of us eat. we decided to call in for room service
Arfa made all the bookings, she got us in a king suite, there was huge bedroom which had two king size bed and one queen size, the way they have put things in the room it looked amazing
"Why are we all staying in the same room?" Irteza asked to Arfa
"I just thought it would be fun" she shrugged
"Fun? Yeah, so much fun" he said with sarcasm
"Oh come on Bhai, take a chill pill" zara said
"I'm hungry" he cried like a child, i rolled my eyes, but i was also very hungry
While we were waiting for food to arrive, i went to bathroom to freshen up, thankfully the room had two bathrooms, one was taken by girls and the other one was for boys
All of us were so hungry that we just had food quietly, by the time we were done the sun was set already. The view from the window was amazing, i never knew such an amazing place existed in Delhi
"What should we do now?" Arfa asked
"I'm too tired to go outside" zara laid on the queen size bed
"Me too" Hamza agreed with her
"Let's watch a movie" Irteza and I said together, then we looked at each other and gave a dirty look to each other
"Good Idea guys" Arfa said getting excited
"Which movie?" Hamza asked
"Thor" zara suggested
"Not a Marvel movie please" again Irteza and I spoke together
"Look at you guys, you spent few hours together and already saying the same things together" zara chuckled
"There's nothing like that, I'm just not a big fan of Marvel" i shrugged
"DC?" Hamza asked, i nodded vigorously
"Which one should I put then?" He asked
"Man of Steel (superman), the dark knight (batman)" Irteza and i said simultaneously
"I want to watch superman" i said glaring at him
"No, we'll watch Batman" he narrowed his eyes at me
"I don't like Batman"
"So? Whole world likes him, so your opinion doesn't matter"
"World is crazy if they like Batman, he's not even a superhero like superman"
"Superman is overrated, and by the way your beloved Superman is an alien"
"So? What difference does it make? Atleast he doesn't run for his costume when he sees danger, batman is all about technologies, you take away all his gadgets, he'll just be an ordinary man"
"That's true, he's just an ordinary man, but still he's willing to risk his life everyday for people, that's what makes him a superhero"
"But superman is sti....."
"Stop" Hamza stopped me from talking, i looked at him
"You both really forget the world when you are arguing" Zara laughed
"Seriously, i have noticed it many times, they don't need anyone else they are just enough for each other" Arfa said
"That's not true, kiddo. Anyways let's just watch the movie, zara, put the dark knight" Tarzan said.
"No, put man of Steel" i said quickly
"Zara, do as I say" he said
"Don't listen to him" i spoke
"Don't start again" Hamza intervened
We ended up watching Jumanji, i really enjoyed the movie, soon after the movie all of us fell asleep making plans for tomorrow.
