Chapter 11

Flashback
"Noor, come here....see what I bring for you...see."
An eighteen years old boy, holding a chocolate in his hand, was standing in front of a ten years old girl to try to give her the chocolate.
He tried to talk to her but that little child gets scared and went to her mother to hide behind her.
"See Aunt, whenever I come here, she always does this with me...."
The boy complained to miss Sara, who was standing in front of him, against that little girl.
He always comes to Mr. Hassan's house just for the sake of Noor. But, on the other side, let alone speaking she can't even come near to him.
And as always he complained against her to Miss Sara.
"No son, it's not only with you she is behaving like that but she also acts like that with Shah Zain whenever he comes home on the vacation......but you don't feel sad, Noor is a little child now, son....... and she is also very weak, she can't get along with other people that immediately.....it will take some time, she will get fine by herself...."
She glanced behind at scared Noor then started addressing Kawish standing in front of her.
No matter both her child were dear to her so much and so is the Kawish. She loves Kawish from the very beginning.
The reason for it maybe is that he lost his mother in his childhood.
He is close to her like her Shah Zain, because Shah Zain has been went to a foreign country for higher studies and in that case, Kawish is the one who filled the missing place of Shah Zain.
It's because of Shah Zain's insistence that they let them to went abroad for studies, otherwise, they were not in favor to let their son go a thousand miles away.
"You mean I should keep trying......"
With a mischievous look, he keeps looking at her.
"Yes, exactly, keep trying, one day you will become successful to make friendship with Noor..."
She said looking at him with her full smiling face. While she keeps standing behind her as if they were talking about someone else, not her.
"For what you are going to try......let us know as well......"
Mr. Hassan said coming inside near to both of them. And behind him, Zeb's uncle also entered to home.
In his voice, Kawish as well as Mrs. Sara looks at him.
"I was telling to Kawish that you keep trying every day then one day you will make friendship with Noor."
She said smilingly.
"Yes, then we will also become best friends like you..."
He gives an example of his father and Mr. Hassan's friendship.
And there was no doubt in that Mr. Hassan and Mr. Zeb were deeply connected with each other in friendship.
While Mr. Zeb firstly lives in another city. He just recently shifted his whole business here on the advice of Mr. Zeb.
Despite distances between both, their friendship was as strong as the son and father duo.
In their strong bonding, Mr. Zeb was the main reason for it because he always treats Hassan liked his brother.
After Mr. Zeb's arrival here, their friendship has turned into a relationship.
Kawish was elder so to some extent, so he understands the nature of this relationship, and he likes Noor from the very beginning.
While Noor was a little child to understand this relation. But whatever it was, Mr. Zeb was very happy because it was his wish from the very beginning that Noor becomes the bride of his son.
"You are absolutely right, you both become more best friends than us, it's my only wish....."
Mr. Zeb pulls Noor, who was hiding behind Sara, to himself.
Now seeing four of them gazing at her, the innocent little girl becomes scared.
Before she started crying, she again hide behind her mother getting scared.
They all smiled at that time at her act.

"Yes Raheem, tell me, are all arrangements done properly?"
Mr. Hassan was on the phone talking with one of his men.
"Yes sir, I have done as you told me.....miss Noor will not be worried in any way.... you don't have to worry about anything...."
After listening to his man, he becomes a bit satisfied.
"Fine, I will come tomorrow to see everything..... after it, I will send Noor there....."
After completing his talk, Mr Hassan cut the call.
"Whom you are talking of sending, dad? And where?"
Shah Zain enters the lounge and addresses Mr. Hassan.
Because he happened to listen to his last sentence before coming here.
"I was talking of sending Noor from here...."
He said looking at Shah Zain he puts his mobile on the table and then came to sit on the sofa.
"Noor, but why? And where are you sending her....."
In astonishment, he looks at Mr. Hassan and came to sit on the sofa in front of him.
"Kawish again came to my office....."
His tone was very solemn.
"What..... he again came, how dare he..... and you didn't feel it necessary to tell me...."
In a rage, he gets up from his place after listening to his father.
"Just because of your furiousness, I didn't feel it necessary to tell you, because in anger a man can do a lot of wrongdoing..... and I can't endure any ingle wrongdoing in the matter of Noor..."
His tone was strict now.
Shah Zain came back and seated himself after finding his father getting angry.
He was right in his saying.
"Till we don't think of any solution to how to let Noor free from this relation, till then I have thought to not keep Noor here.... because I don't want that Noor meet with him or she gets to know about this relation......"
Mr. Hassan said thoughtfully.
While Shah Zain silently keeps gazing at his father. Though he likes his father's decision.
"You think it, right dad, otherwise it frightens me every time that he doesn't reach out to Noor....but now Noor will live far away from him, and she will be safe......"
He said satisfyingly. On that, Mr. Hassan also nodded his head in yes.
"Hassan you are still sitting here, come and get ready...... otherwise we will get late for the party....."
Mrs. Yusra, who seems to be fully prepared, came to Mr. Hassan, sitting in front of Shah Zain, and addresses him.
"Fine, I was just coming just let me have some talk to Shah Zain....."
He said while gazing at Shah Zain, who makes himself busy on his mobile after Mrs. Siyal comes here.
She is his mother, though stepmother, but as always a cold war persists between him and his mother. While Noor seems to like her, but she doesn't consider both of them as something.
"Fine, finish your talk and come quickly, I am waiting for you......"
She gazes at both of them and gets back to her room. After her going back, Shah Zain and Hassan again started further talking on that matter.
