Chapter 6

"Sahib (Master) , should I serve the dinner?"
Mr. Hassan was sitting in the lounge working on the laptop when a servant came to ask him.
"No, I am not feeling hungry.... you go and ask Shah Zain to come here."
After listening to his order he darted towards Shah Zain's room.
"Listen, did Noor eat something?"
He asked in a concerned tone as he knows she rarely takes care of her eating and drinking.
"No sahib, after coming back from the university she enclosed herself in her room though Zain sahib did his best to make her eat something but she refused."
He tells him everything in detail.
"Alright, you go ask Shah Zain to come here....."
After his answer, he becomes a bit worried.
As his servant left him, he again busies himself on his laptop. Instantly, the phone, which was near the couch, rang.
Seeing an unknown number he was intending to cut the call but thinking of something he picks up the call.
"Assalamualaikum (greetings)..... uncle...."
As soon as he picks up the call, Salam was instantly said to him. This voice was unknown to him, but the words captured his attention.
"Walaikum salam.....who is talking...?"
Mr Hassan tried to recognize him.
"It's not right that you forget me that quickly, I was not expecting that..... anyway it's ok, I came back then you will remember everything....."
There was something knowable in his tone, which Mr. Hassan can very easily feel.
"Kawish....."
It takes a moment to recognize him. Since when did he forget him.But his calling after so many years has most probably startled him.
"Ohh great..... you do remember me....."
There was mocking in his tone.
"Why you called and what do you want...."
He came straight to the point. There was a fear rising inside him.
"Why I called and what I want... I will also tell you that, for that, you have to meet with me, these talk can't happen on the phone......my motive of calling you is to remind you of myself that whether if you forget me so you will remind that I have some relation with you..... and soon I will meet with you."
As always he talks to him sternly and coldly and then cut the call.
Mr. Hassan was now reminding his words, sitting for a long time.
"He came back.....he came...."
"Who came dad?"
As soon as Shah Zain enters the lounge he happened to listen to these words uttering from his mouth.
"Kawish came back."
He said to Shah Zain as he saw him in front of himself and gets up from his seat worriedly.
While after listening to the name of Kawish from his mouth, he keeps looking at his face for a moment.


**********

She was sitting in her cabin with closed eyes relaxing herself when the ringing of the phone interrupted her peace.
In irritation, she picks up the call.
"Miss Minal bring that file to me which I told you to prepare for today's evening meeting."
Then listening voice of Shah Zain Minal clenched her lips in furiousness. When she came to the company today he gives her a lot of work which makes her hell tired.
A little earlier she had just come back from his room. And now again he was calling her to his room.
In anger, Minal gets up from her place, and taking the file she darted towards his room.
She knows that much he is doing all this deliberately with her.
After knocking on the door she gets inside.
"Miss Minal perhaps you are used to doing every work late....."
He said after looking time at his wristwatch.
While Minal keep thinking that which work she did late, in fact, she was doing every work on time.
"Sir, here is the file....."
Suppressing her anger, she put the file on the table.
While Shah Zain keeps gazing at her red face because of anger. Don't know what it is in her face that whenever he looks at her he feels a strange sensation for her.
From yesterday how much he was worried after Kawish's call but now seeing her he forgets everything.
Don't know why he enjoys making her annoyed. That's why he was deliberately giving her a lot of work.
"You can if there's any mistake......"
She moves toward him after saying. Then Shah Zain open the file and started looking in the file.
"It's not complete, there are some mistakes, correct it ......"
He put the file back on the table. On his saying, Minal looks at him dumbfounded.
"But I saw it, there was not any mistake....."
He was enraged at her lying.
"Correct it right now, no you just sit here and correct this file here....."
He signals her to sit in front of him in the chair.
Listening to his other command, Minal grinds her teeth and sits on the chair. She started checking the file.
A moment later, she senses him gazing at her so she raises her head and finds him busy on his mobile.
Looking at him for a moment, she again bends on the file. Then again she senses that feeling.
"Nasty man......"
In her heart, she started cursing him and then she engaged herself in the work.
"What's your problem, why are you staring at me...."
When it crossed her patience then she rise from her place in anger.
"Mind your language Miss Minal it's my office, not your home..... and second what's special in you that I will look at you..... perhaps you are suffering from a very big misconception if you accept clear your misconception...."
With his talks, he made Minal quite guilty.
"You go, give me this file, I myself will rectify it....."
Finding guilt on her face, he permits her to go then, she, without looking at him move out fastly.
While a smile came to his lips seeing her fastness.
