One of the best short stories I have read in a long while... Hats off to you. Hope you bring out a lot more (frequently as well without a long wait period 😉)

Late update…again, sorry.

This part is for nisha150, because she requested a part before Tuesday.

Enjoy :)

Part 6:

"Guess who I brought along!" Imaan yelled as he entered the house.

Asad who was seated in the other room, dressed in pajamas, slowly stood up to enter the hall, where he found Imaan and standing behind him the little girl from earlier.

"You…" He said, while the girl looked at him with the same expressions.

………………………………

Zoya entered her apartment, and throwing her umbrella to the side, she sat on the floor, untying her boots.

The rain could be heard from inside and it didn't seem as if it would stop any sooner.

"I should have not let her go…" She said to herself.

Her phone suddenly started ringing, bringing her out of her thoughts. She looked at the caller ID, which read Deb. A smile spread on her face, as she clicked the talk button.

"Speak.." She said in a bubbly voice

"What you doing?" Deb asked from the other side

"Is this why you called me?" Zoya replied, standing and taking off her jacket.

"Ugh! I have nothing to do, so I decided to call you, damn rain can't even go out…" Deb said cursing the rain

Zoya let out a little laugh

"Hey, wait, where's Zaara? Usually when I call she's all crazy in the back" Deb asked

Zoya sat down on the sofa, getting comfortable

"Imaan took her to his place" Zoya answered

"Imaan?"

"He had gotten pizza, he lived by himself, but bought a whole 12 slice box" Zoya said

"Most likely it's for mystery BFF and himself " Deb replied

"Hmm, maybe…but still 12 slices, for two men…" Zoya said

"That's a lot of cheese…" They both said together and started laughing

………………………..

The three of them were in the dining room, Asad and Zaara seated at the table, hands folded, while Imaan passed out the cups and plates

"Mr.Imaan…you're friend curses in front of kids…." Zaara said, looking at her pizza and taking a bite

Asad and Imaan shared a look

"Umm, Zaara…honey I didn't curse, shit is another word for potty…" Asad said

"Par Mama said it's a bad word, why didn't you say potty then?"

Imaan held him mouth, trying to stop his laughter, this girl was too cute

"Really? Your mom, she seems like a nice person, tell me about her…" Asad asked in an extra nice tone

"I don't want to converse with you…" And there went Asad's chance to make friends with this girl.

Imaan cleared his throat, "Uhh, Asad do you know Zaara is the smartest in her class?"

"Really?" Asad said smiling and looking at Zaara who grinned.

"Aapka naam Asad hai?" She said in her confused tone

Asad nodded

"What does that mean?" She asked, her mouth full of pizza

"Asad means sher, lion…what does Zaara mean?" Asad asked

She smile "Zaara!!" and her smile faded…"Pata nahi…" She said

Asad looked around…."mmm, you wanna look it up?" He asked

She nodded without any hesitation and jumped out her chair

"Chalo…" She ran to the living room while Asad looked at Imaan

"She's quite energetic…." He said

"And spoiled" Asad added in and stood up to follow her.

…………………………………

Entering the living room, he picked up his laptop, which was on the coffee table

Zaara stared as his fingers moved rapidly through the key and in seconds he had brought up a page.

"So, lets see… Zaara is generally used as a girls name, it has four/five letters, two syllables, the meaning of Zaara is blooming flower.." Asad said reading aloud.

Zaara smiled "I really like flowers, especially roses"

Seeing her smile Asad smiled also

"Check what Imaan means, while you're at it…" Imaan yelled from the dining room

"I did, it means gadha in Hindi" Asad yelled back, to which Zaara started giggling

Suddenly Zaara stood up

"Mr.Asad…will you be my friend? You seem like a funny guy" She stated

It took Asad a couple of seconds to realize she was serious, since it was totally unexpected

So this girl melts easily huh?? Asad thought

Asad smiled, and put out his hand "Yes sweety"

She looked at his hand, not knowing what to do

He shook his head and took her hand

"Aise, hand shake karke, deal finalize karte hai…" He said shaking her hand

"..So friendship finalize?" She said with her teethed smile.

He nodded a big smile on his face also.

Imaan entered the living room, taking sips from a soda can

"Zaara, uncle ko batao, how your mummy is.." He told her

Asad turned to face Zaara

"Mama? She's very nice, par tora stubborn" She said gesturing "abit" with her hands

"Veryy nice? She's like a demon at work, sometimes I get confused boss voh hai ya mein.." Imaan added

"Aur papa?" Asad questioned

Zaara sat making a face

"Mama said papa lives in India, par he never visits….."

Imaan and Asad shared a look, and Asad understood what she meant in never visits

He cleared his throat

"Tum mujhe tumhare mama se milaoge?" Asad asked Zaara, who nodded whole heartedly and sat on his lap
