The empty sketchbook painted, maroon

Zoya and Asad, the two opposite pillars first met when their younger siblings, Humeira and Ayaan, introduced them after all they were trying to take such a huge decision of life, choosing each other as mates and for them it was so important to introduce their would-be partner and their families to them. 

Zoya, a fashion designer whereas Asad, a famous Architect. Zoya, the girl like her name, full of life and Asad, who had no time to live his life for himself. Zoya, who has always believed in love and Asad, for whom love was just an illusion. To love each other was difficult, even impossible for them.

Humeira and Ayaan were going to introduce each other with their elder siblings, but they were in ambivalence about Zoya's and Asad's reaction to their choice. "Will they approve our relationship", was the only question revolving in their respective heads constantly.

So, all the four met at a cafe where, Zoya, keenly observed Ayaan, who had long curly hairs, dressed in the black leatherjacket, a tee, and a pair of blue denims, ripped from the knees.

Zoya bothered for nothing, uttered out, "Humie...don't tell me you have chosen this monkey for yourself?", for this Humeira tried to stop her but Zoya being Zoya showed dramatically.

When Asad being an elder brother was fuming with anger but respect for a lady and controlled himself. 

However, Zoya didn't stop and kept murmuring out, "just.. just look at him... his hairs.. not cut since era and his jeans... Allah Miya what a poor fashion sense," pursing her lips. 

Asad controlled himself and fake smiled, "Look at your fashion sense lady, what a beautiful ghagra you are wearing", giving her the taste of her own medicine. 

When Ayaan tried to cool down them, "It is okay Bhai, I am habitual of being called as monkey. Humeira also calls me that, haina jaan", at which Zoya and Asad blasted at him.

"What did this girl call you monkey and still you want to marry her," Asad fumed out whereas Zoya clenched her jaw, "How dare you call her that...", darting her eyes into Asad's "Hey hold on! Jus... look at yourself...", Asad showed his index finger to her and continued, "the girl with the huge mouth and no manners", snapped Asad while standing up from the chair as he was not in a mood to listen a word against his brother's pride.

"Allah miyan what's wrong with you!! You don't have no manners to talk with a girl? Still, you are blaming me... Arey wah ... your brother must be like this only nahin," Zoya replied with disbelief with an o' shaped mouth.

Zoya looked at Humeira, "See, just because of you I'm listening all this stupidity that too from her", she complained Humeira while leaving her chair highlighting her last four words. Ayaan and Humeira both tried to convince Asad and Zoya to not make the issue, but they were not in the mood to listen to them.

"Ayaan!! Listen tome carefully... I will not let you marry her sister," Asad said, looking toward Zoya 

"And I'm also not dying to be your brother's sister-in-law," Zoya replied, crossing her hands on the chest.

"Bhai please try to understand, "Ayaan opened his mouth but Asad interrupted in between.

"Ayaan!! You are not listening to me, Haan?" Asad raised his brow up and declared.

"Aaapi...", Humeira tried to say something, but Zoya showed her eyes and dragged her outside the cafeteria telling her, "I will make a line of grooms for you, but not let you marry him, samjhi...." 

That was the day when they first met and get introduced to the maroon shade of fight without realizing how and when they filled their life's empty sketchbook from the first shade of love.
