Hola people!! So, I was just lying on my bed thinking about QH and out of nowhere an idea for a story popped intomy head and I wrote this.it turned out pretty much the way I wanted it to. So here's presenting "Mission : AsYa"
"Ow" cried Ayaan as a thorn from a rose plant grazed his cheek. "I really got to tell bhaijaan to trim his plants. Its getting harder to jump the fence nowadays because of them." He mumbled to himself. "but its not like bhaijaan to keep his plants in such a condition. Maybe he was occupied with other stuff" he thought. tSlowly and quietly he made his way to the window of his bhai jaans room,dodging the occasional weed sticking out of nowhere. He was just about toenter, when he heard voices and he quickly hid himself behind one of the
curtains. He pushed it open just enough to be able to witness the whole scene.
Dishaad and Najma were sitting on the bed and another girl stood beside them,
her back to him, and was talking in an animated manner. "Aha! This must be Mona
Darling" he thought. Both of them had executed such a fine plan together, but
not once had they met. Just then bhaijaan and another girl entered. Oh there
she was, that Tanveer. He personally wasn't very fond of her. When they were
young, she used to always stick to bhaijaan like Super Glue, and she never used
to let bhaijaan play with him. He had been so glad when he had found out that
she was leaving. But here she was again. Bhaijaan had told him a few days ago
that she was staying at his house. He hadn't cared at that time. But later,
whenever he came to visit bhaijaan, she was always around. On some pretext or
another. It had really irritated him. A cough brought him out of his thoughts.
His bhaijaan was saying something. He leaned in a bit to listen. The view was
clear. He could see everything from his hiding place. And he could see Mona
Darling too. She was wearing a blue full handed t-shirt over blue jeans. Just his
type. She had a pretty and vaguely familiar face. He was pretty sure he'd seen
this girl somewhere' "Was she one of the bus stand girls?" he thought. "No. One
of the girls from Nuzrat's college? No. Maybe''"Then it struck him. THIS WAS
THE GIRL FROM THE DARGA!! The reason for his bhai jaan being beaten up!! And
the girl who threw a Coke can at him!!And bhai jaan was letting her live in his
house??? He really needed to talk to him about this. Then everyone fell quiet.
He looked up to see what had happened. Bhai jaan was standing in front of the
three sitting women, his back to Ayaan, and Tanveer was standing beside
him. "I'm sorry to call you here at this
late hour, and disturb your sleep, but I had to tell you all tonight. I hope
the news I'm going to give will make up for your disturbed sleep." All three
women were looking at bhai jaan with a quizzical look. Bhai jaan continued " It
has been my Ammi's wish for a long time to see me settle in life with a life
partner. And I have never gone against her wish. And today, I have decided that
I'll fulfill her wish. I HAVE DECIDED TO GET MARRIED'' TO TANVEER'"
**************
A stunned silence filled the room. For a moment, nobody said anything. Then
Dilshaad came over and gave him a big hug. "I'm so happy for you Asad" she
said. Then she hugged Tanveer "Welcome to the family" she said. Now, Ayaan
didn't know Dilshaad very well, but something in her voice told him that she
was not as happy as she was pretending to be. Maybe he was just imagining it.
Then Najma came and hugged Asad and Tanveer in quick succession and said
"Congrats Bhai jaan and Tanveer". This time Ayaan was sure that Najma wasn't
thrilled with the prospect of Tanveer being her sister-in-law. It was written
all over her face. Then his eyes fell on The Dargah Girl, and he watched on as
a lone tear made its way through her eyes. "Maybe miss. Irritating has a heart"
he thought. She walked up to his Bhai jaan with a big fake smile, held out her
hand to shake his, and said "Congratulations, mister Khan, I wish you a very
happy married life." Then she withdrew her hand, looked at Tanveer, and said
"Congratulations to you too Tanveer." "Thank You" Tanveer said. "And it would
be an honor if you would be with us on the day of our nikaah." "Tanveer, beta,
you don't need to invite Zoya formally to the nikaah, she is a part of our
family and that automatically makes her a part of the celebrations." Said
Dilshaad. "Jee Khala, I just wanted to make sure that---"Tanveer started, only
to be cut short by Zoya " I will be there Tanveer. Don't worry. Ill also help
in planning the whole wedding" She said with forced enthusiasm. Then she
glanced at bhai jaan and said, "If, that's OK with you." "Huh...? What?" bhai
jaan sounded surprised. "I mean---- Of course. Thank You." He said. She gave a
tight lipped smile and asked everyone to excuse her. Apparently, she had to
make a very important phone call. After a quick round of goodnights to
everyone, she left.
***********
Ayaan needed to talk to his bhai jaan. Bhai jaan told him almost
everything, even if it was the most unimportant of things, then HOW could he
forget to tell him that he was getting married??? When did bhai jaan suddenly
fall in love with this Tanveer?? When
did he start BELIEVEING in love??? Ayaan had a million questions on his mind to
ask bhai jaan. But it didn't look like this Tanveer had any intention of
leaving his room. "Oh, come on!" He thought, "You're getting married for god's
sake. You can flirt with him for the rest of your life." He thought that he
should just take a walk around and see if he could find some water. Standing
for so long had made him really thirsty. And he was sure that Dilshaad and
Najma would've gone to sleep. It was pretty late. He was just making his way to
the kitchen, when he heard sobs. He followed the sound and found that the
source was The Dargah Girl (TDG). Her face was buried in the pillow and she was
crying away to glory. He immediately felt a pang of sympathy towards her. She
may have thrown a cake can at him, but she was one of the main reasons that his
father had gotten bail. And he was forever grateful for that. He tiptoed into
the room and placed a hand on her shoulder. She immediately snapped her head up
and looked at him. She opened her mouth to scream but he covered it with his
hand. She struggled against his hand and even bit him "Ow! Mona Darling'
listen' it's me Rabart' Ayaan. Bhai jaans brother. Please don't scream" he
moved his hand from her mouth. " What the hell are you doing in my room????"
she asked "And how the hell did you get in??? my door is locked and''" she
looked at the window and trailed off. "You came in through the WINDOW at this
time of the night????" she looked Flabbergasted. "Sorry, correction, you
SNEAKED in through the window at this time of the night to do what, exactly???"
"I came to talk to you. I know you're in love with bhaijaan. And I have a plan
to get you both together.
