Chapter 4
Zain was completely mesmerized with the beauty in front of his eyes. Her back was facing him, but he could care less. Her back was even more enchanting...
Aaliya was very busy in chatting with her sisters, when suddenly... she sensed someone's intense gaze in the air on her... Behind her... It was very, very intense... A chill ran down her spine... Who was this... She slowly turned back... when-
"Arey Zain, wahaan kya kar raha hai? Idhar aa." Zubair snatched his friend from that place and brought him out of his trance...
Aaliya turned back, but did not see anyone except thin air... She thought that she saw someone's back, like someone just turned... But she thought it as her imagination and brushed it off... "Haa, Ayesha di... Toh mai kahaan thi...?" She decided to resume her talk...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Haa toh Zain... bataa bhai... Kya kar raha tha wahaan?" Zubair asked, with a knowing glint in his eyes.
"Arey bhai, woh mai... Okay... Lemme be honest with u... Bhai, I want to know about Aaliya... More..."
"Zain... Aaliya is not the type of the girl you think her to be... She is very sweet... More like a girl who deserves true love... She does not do time pass relationships, ok dude? I would just tell you to... U know... Stay away from her. And moreover..."
"Zubair! Mai tujhse kuchh puchne aaya tha and uska seedha answer expect kar raha tha... Chhod... Tera lecture nahi sunna... Mai jaa raha hu..."
"Zain, ruk." Zubair sighed, watching Zain grumpily moving towards the door, and muttered to himself, " Tumhe nahi pata Zain... woh tumhaare saamne dekhegi bhi nahi. Uska toh nikaah fix ho gayi hai."
Muttering this to himself, he went to attend the guests.

3 Days Later.
Venue: London.
At Zain's Apartment.
"Zain, enough is enough. That girl has even gone back to wherever she came from. And on top of that, this usually brave and smart Zain could not even reach out to her. You know, you just stared at her... but did not go talk to her even once at the nikaah. And now, you are irritating all of us from three days. You have never been like this, dude. What's wrong with you?" Rizwaan asked, frustrated to hell with Zain's behaviour from the past three helluva days.
"I don't know yaar... That Aaliya is not leaving my thoughts. I just see her everywhere... Like even i m comfused na...? What is wrong with me...? Urghh." Zain screamed. He was really feeling like pulling his hair...
"Mujhe seriously nahi pata yaar. Jahaan jata hu, shop pe... univesity mein... Tum me se kisi ke bhi apartments pe... I just see her angelic face. Help me guys." He sighed.
"Zain, mujhe toh lagta hai tujhe pyaar-vyaar ho gaya hai."
"Aeh, itna jaldi pyaar thodi ho jaata hai??? NO. This could not be love. It can be immense attraction. Or is it-? I JUST DON'T KNOW. Now who's this?" Zain shouted to himself, as he took out his iPhone, which was vibrating.
"Oh, Dad! Just whom i needed! Hello, my darling dad! Aapse hi toh ek bhaut important baat karni hai. Aapka beta yahaan bhaut tension me hai dad."
"Kya hua bachche? Batao... Aaj achanak Zain Abdullah itna irritated kaise sound kar raha hai? I m sure, this isn't one of your college or professor problems. You sound really different and pissed."
"Yeah, Dad. This thing is completely different to me. Aap hi baatiyen, mai kya karu?" And saying thus, he started his story- his story of Aaliya, and her beauty and his attraction. "Ab Dad, aap hi batao, mai kya karu? And what the hell is this?"
"Bachche! Aapko pata hai, aapki mom aur mai aise hi mile the! Unki kisi friend ki shaadi pe... But uss waqt hum dono ko hi ek dusre ek jhatke me pasand aa gaye the..."
"Wahi toh Dad, agar uska saamne se bhi yehi reaction hota toh samajte... But usne to mere saamne dekha bhi nahi!" Zain snorted.
"Haa bachche.. Ho jaata hai aisa bhi... Dekho... Abhi yeh pyaar hai ya sirf attraction... yeh toh aap hi sochiye... Abhi thoda sa jaldi hai, but jald hi tumhe pata chal jaayega... Tab batana mujhe... theek hai?"
"Theek hai dad. Thank you soo much... Aapne ek hi jhatke me meri saari confusion door kar di... Achcha! Phone toh Aapne kiya tha mujhe! Ab meri baatein sunne and haal chaal puchne ke liye toh nahi hi kiya hoga... toh bataiye... Kya hua? Wahaaan sab theek hai na?" Zain asked, now a little worried.
"Ha Zain. Yahaan sab theek hai. Samaj lo tumhaari yeh haalat ka ek solution banaakar hi allah ne mujhe kuchh sujaya hai. Well, I was thinking if u could come here in Mumbai. Actually, business here has increased very much and I would really appreciate some help, you know... Well, only if you want to, i mean... But mai tumse yehi kehna chaahta tha... Zain, tumhaari padhai bhi poori ho gayi hai... so-"
"Dad Dad Dad... Dad I love you! Aapne toh meri saari problem solve kar di... I am coming Dad! Waise bhi yahaan woh same ladkiyon ke saath bore ho raha tha! I m coming Dad! Agli hi flight se, I will land in Mumbai! Love you once again, Dad!"
As soon as Zain kept the phone, Rizwaan exclaimed, smiling like a fool. "Waah! Waah Zain! Tera toh kaam ban gaya yaar! Ab bataa, aage kya socha hai yaar? Apne iss pyaar yaa attraction ko kaise segregate karne ka iraada hai?"
"Rizwaan, maine sab soch liya hai! Mai Mumbai jaaunga... Agar wahaan mujhe Aaliya actually phir se itne bade Mumbai me dikh gayi and agar me wahaan aur bhi khoobsurat ladkiyon ko dekhkar bhi use nahi bhool paaya, toh samjho yeh pyaar hai... Warna mai apne raaste...!"
"Zain, yeh bhaut lame idea hai. I don't think-"
"Rizwaaan... Ek yehi option hai mere paas... Agar yeh nahi toh kuchh nahi... Dekhte hai... meri kismat mujhe kahaan tak le jaati hai..."
I AM COMING MUMBAI!
I AM COMING MISS AALIYA GHULAM HAIDER!
