Wo sirf aik shoula tha
Janay kab kaisay aatish bana yaad nahi
Pooray jism ko apni lapait main lekar
Janay kaisay rooh main basa yaad nahi

She who was rushing downstairs while gripping the hem of her pale golden lehenga in one hand and pushing back the honey tendrils of hers with the other one, immediately bumped into Zainab in the process who laughed softly at their sudden bumping before hugging Shanzay tightly,
"Shanzuuuu! Yarr I missed you"!!!
Shanzay couldn't hold her laughter at her words as she gently patted Zainab's shoulder,
"You were just gone for half a day and you already miss me. What will you do when I'll leave after three weeks"?
Zainab parted and playfully mused as they walked downstairs side by side, descending the white marble grand central staircase of the extravagant haveli,
"As if I'll let you leave. I've that strong feeling that you'll stay here with us".
Her voice held visible playfulness just trying to tease Shanzay.
Shanzay chuckled understanding her teasing well as she too spoke jokingly,
"Haan bhai reh tou lngi main yahaan magar Faseeha Mami haath pakar ker wapis Rawalpindi chor ayee gi mera".
Zainab couldn't hold her laughter this time,
"I really have no doubt in this. By the way why is Shahana so stingy today? It looks as if she is out for blood. I met her in the lawn a moment ago".
Shanzay shrugged,
"No idea".
She had earlier caught Shahana throwing glares at her before marching out of the lounge making her heave out a helpless sigh as she literally had no idea why she was behaving like this.
Shanzay simply couldn't understand why Faseeha mami and Shahana disliked her so much, as if her mere existence was some sort of thorn in their way.
As if her mere sight was too displeasing for their eyes.
She could only sigh inwardly.
They met Romaisa Mami downstairs who was counting the sweet baskets. Seeing them appear, she smiled gesturing them to come over.
As they reached her, she spoke handing the basket to Zubaida,
"Shanzay, Zainab! Betay ye Zubaida k saath baskets tou bahar le jayen mithaiyon ki. Pata nahi Basit aur Shahmeer kahaan reh gaye".
Shanzay smiled as she grabbed the basket that was wrapped in golden sheets adorned with glittery flowers at different places as the sweets inside peeked from the thin transparent covering,
"It's alright Mami. No worries. We're here to help you".
Romaisa Mami patted her shoulder lovingly.
"Where are the henna baskets"?
Zainab asked picking up the sweets basket.
Rumi Mami replied,
"Bano and Shareefa took them long ago on Amma jaan's order. Only sweets baskets are left now. You guys should hurry. All the guests have almost arrived. Kişi cheez ki kami reh gayee tou Abba huzoor bohut khafa hnge".
Hence both of them along with Zubaida grabbed the huge baskets and walked out of the haveli and entered the grand back lawn that looked out worldly at the moment.
One couldn't help but hold in their breath and absorb the breathtaking beauty that could turn anyone into awe.
