He was the first guy she had ever brought home.She was only five then and he was six..
Shabana and Ghulam had just shifted to Mumbai but they had never thought that their docile daughter would actually bring a guy home on her first day at school,so the impending shock was inevitable when they found her st the doorstep,holding the hands of a boy,who had several scratch marks on his arms and face,one who looked bedraggled and tired..as if right out of a fight!
It was AAliya Ghulam Haider's first day at school,and bullying her had paid some seniors very badly..SOme boys had puled her pigtails,made fun of her bottun-nose and pinched her chubby cheeks and when everyone was specualting on her plight,he had come over to save her from their hands.The result was not quite what they had expected..not what you see in puerile and hackneyed bollywood movies-the knight in shining armour though kicked the bullies randomly,but ended up getting beaten up by them,until she interjected the brawl,with her deadly glare..
You can imagine how she must have looked in front of those guys,when she squinted her eyes,while they towered over her.Zain Abdullah had protested when she dragged him over to her house,but she was Aaliya ghulam Haider,she was ot the one to back down ..That was the start-the very infinitesimal ,unnoticeable beginning of a relationship,a friendship,a companionship and strong sense of camaraderie .Exactly 2 days after that incident,when the Haiders and Abdullah met over dinner did the two realize that their relationship went beyonf that of simple friends..they were also cousins!
(I YEAR LATER)
Aaliya sat down to have her tifin during teh recess hours at school..that is when she felt someoene plop down beside her.She knew who he was,she kept her mealbox in between them.Their hands brushed against each other was they both digged in.A comfortable silence had enveloped them,until he spoke up-"Aloo-that guy---he pushed m-me--and I scraped my kness--he -he t-took my tiffin--he--" Zain's little lips started to tremble.He was strong boy- a big boy,but in front of his best friend,he let down his guard sometimes.Tears stung her eeys,she got up abruptly,her hands balled into fists-but he pulled her back-"Leave na..Aloo-there's no need to fight with them----"
Aaliya huffed and sat down beside him,cringing at the very thought that someone had dared to hurt 'her' Zain-'her' best friend..the person she knew would always have her back..

Zain Osman Abdullah was the first guy in the world who had kissed Aliya ghulam HAider...
It was friendship day ,they were sitting on his bed playing video game,when one inocent girl had asked another innocent guy,thinking that he'd have all the answers..Zain had kissed her cheeks when she was looking away.A soft blush had crept up her face,a frightened look on his face when she turned towards him.."Aloo its n-not my fault...I asked Dad how babies are made and he said that the guy kisses teh girl on her cheeks and God blesses them." they were now lying side by side on the bed.."then we'll have our little baby to play with,right Zain ---?"
"Yea-we'll get married and we'll have little babies just like Aayesha Aapi and Adil Jiju,right Aloo..?"
"But our baies will be cuter..." Aaliya pouted,resting her head on his chest."Just like you,MAmu Ki Bhanji--" Zain chuckled at her,before they fell asleep in each others embrace..
(Few years later)
When she was ten and he eleven,Zubair Qureshi had run back to the Principal
s office with abroken nose,which Zain Abdullah had given him for hugging 'his' Aaliya-his Aloo-his best friend-his MAmu Ki Bhanji.But that day Aaliya was infuriated and embittered by the turn of events..because if he didn't stop breaking bones of all the guys who dared come close to her,then it wouldn't be long before he'd be rusticated from the school...The same thing happened on the evening of the prom Aaliya was in the 9th standard and Zain in the tenth.That evening they both felt for the first time,pangs of jealousy and insecurity which they conveniently denied later on.That was the longest time that they had spent without talking to each other..starting from teh day he had watched one of the coolest and most popular guy at school ask her piut,when he was just few minutes away from doing it himslef.Being her best friend he had to hear her squeal over and ramble about her new boyfriend,Rehaan Khan-the very guy who had asked her out,and unknown to himself his heart clenched everytime his mind conjured of images of her in Rehaan's arms.Similarly,Aaliya too had shown great distaste towards his first girlfriend-Sanam .But neither Rehaan nor Sanam could come in between their friendship...both of them fizzled out...
In their 11th standard,Aaliya was the one who tutored him and helped him pass his economics paper,while he helped her out with 'calculus' which at times seemed greek to her!
Zain Abdullah was the one who had held her in his strong arms,throughout the night when her mother had passed away.They had been friends for as long as they could remember,but never had he seen her so broken and vulnerable.the woman who was not just his phoopi,but also like his second mother had died-the family was bereft of any happiness and hope.Even though it hurt him like athousand knives jabbing his chest,when she cried,but that night he let her cry,he really didn't care that his shirt was getting wet becasue of her tears,that his heart was racing having her close for the very first time,that his brain was going fuzzy with her citrusy smell..that her hand wa sthere in his...all that maatered to him was the girl who was sleeping in his arms,the one who meant the world to him and that she needed him by her side...
