It's just an another evening of summer and here in the haveli the preparation are going on for a grand party as today is 45 th aniversary of Mrs Ali . Even Mrs Mariyam Jamshed Ali did not like it to celebrate in grand way but her beloved husband and lovable sons want this as they love her to infinity .The event is organised by ' Ayaan Jamshed Ali ' , the eldest son of Jamshed Ali , the founder of Ali's Textiles . He is probaly 29 years old 5 years older than his younder brother ' Arsalan Jamshed Ali ' aka Arsal.

" Keep it there "

" And complete the task as fast as you can " .

" Yes , begum sahiba ".

" Okay !! Now Go and call Arsal "

" Maam sir is not in his room " Mariam raised her eyebrow as indicating her to answer her unasked question .

" Actually maam when i went to clean sir's room in the early morning i found no one is to be there " .

" It means he has yet not came since night " . Mariyam said to herself in mind .

" Ohh yeah i just remember !! He had already informed me earlier that he will gofor a morning walk and after that maybe he went for my anniversary suprise ........ well you just complete these chores quickly as Ali's grand party is going to be held today " . Mariyam instructed the maid and she left just then Ayan her elder son entered in the living room .

Maryam bibi , the beloved mother of the two sons and the malaika of the haveli. She loved her both sons as other moms do and she even hide the mistakes of their sons just like other mothers as they are their ' maa ka ladlas ' .

" Mummy why are you doing all these work if i am already looking after it !! It's yours aniversary and you should just enjoy.....I am here for all this !! " . Ayaan exclaimed with concern to her mother as he saw her instructing and doing preparation for today's party . She is a BP patient and she also gets panicked in just small situations .

" So what ?? You know me na that i just don't like to sit ideally ". Mariyam said dramatically in reaction to it Ayaan chukkled .

" Nothing.... you just do whatever you want !! " Ayaan shrugged his shoulder while shaking his head and went to call Arsal room . But got suddenly stopped by his mothers loud voice .

" Arsal he ahh he is not in his room ...... actually he went to buy me a suprise early in the morning itself " . Mariyam shuttered while saying and avoided eye contact with him . Ayaan first got confused then undeerstood the whole matter in a second .

" Mummy you know na that you are a worst lier " . Ayaan first came closer then kissed her forehead and then said with a smile .

" hmmm..i know " Mariyam also smiled back .

" Don't tell this to your father he will get angry at him " .

" You always safe him but fine i will not tell this to Dad as today is your day " .

" Thank you my dear son " . Mariyam kissed on his temple and just then his phone rang and he went to answer it .

Arsal just entered the hall and got continuation of tight slaps on his shoulder from his mother.

" Mum..my mummy.... stop please stop why are you hitting me ?? ".

" Shut up just shut up here i am lying to safe you from facing your fathers anger and you !! You are saying that why am i hitting you ?? Is this a question?? Instead of asking me any of your question firat you should answer me that why haven't you came since last night and your phone was also switched off !! " .

" Mummy first stop hitting me and i will explain everything thing to you actually what happened....." Arsal shuttered and was answering but got interrupted by Mariyam .

" You know what you don't answer me let me tell you what must had happened .....

" Again that bike race naa?? " Arsal was amused but then nodded and she further says " You went with that Monkey Zavi naa and then must have stayed at his penthouse only with your crazy group !! Am i right ?? Well i don't need the answer as i know that i am correct but that's not the question the ques is that why had you not informed us before......you must had told us !! "

" Aaah I'm really sorry it just slipped from my mind !! By the way you know me so well " . Arsal chukkled and forcely hugged mariyam. Mariyam first frowned at his immatureness and then replied to his statement " This is because you have said the same thing more than 100 times " Mariyam smiled and Arsal chukkled on his own behaviour and then hugged her tightly while this time Mariyam also responded back .

" Promise me this won't happen again "

" I promise "

" Hmm....now go i am not in mood to talk " . Mariyam pulled herself back from his hold .

" Mummy sorry naaa..... Arsal said again taking mariyam in his embrace and kissed her cheeks. Mariyam also responded back and gave him her widest and sweetest smile .

Just by his this sweet and cute behaviour her all anger melted away . She loved her sons a lot that's why she cannot get angry with them just for a while only .

" Okayy fine i spare you this last time and it won't happen again as you have already promised me "

" Ayeii Ayeii Sir " Arsal said and Mariyam chukkled at his naughtiness .

" By the way A Very Happy Birth Aniversary my life " Arsal said giving her a bunch of fresh Liles.

" Thanks a lot " Mariyam smiled and patted on Arsal cheeks.

After then Arsal went to his room and jump on his bed then take out a bracelet from his pocket and looked at it with his cunning eyes on it and then a small smile formed from his corner of the lips a nd then closed his eyes and went on daydreaming about some events .

Jamshed Ali called Mariyam to their room .

" Have you called me "

" Yes my love congratulationsto you as you turned 45 years but still not looking less than 25 " Jamshed wished her while showing his flirting skills and Mariyam blushed at his remarks.

" Thank you my dear husband " .

" Welcome .... well i have bought a dress for you to wear for tonight's party !! It's placed in the wardrobe " .

" Oohh Well Thanks "

" You don't have to thank me my love that's because it's my duty to make you happy " Mariyam again blushed at his husbands beautiful remarks .

Mariyam went towards washroom but stopped suddenly .

" Wait a minute !! " .

" What happen ?? " .

" Where's my gift ?? " .

" Oohh that !! That will come to yourself by walking on it's own " .

" What ?? Is i heard it right ?? "

" Yes you heard it right the gift will come to yourself by walking only " .

" What rubbish are you saying love Just tell me quickly i can't wait "

" No "

" I swear you just tell me now only "

" Ohh myy !! can't you just wait you have to spoil everything?? " .

" Don't scold me as today is my day " .

" I should not scold you but you can make me swear and spill the suprise out of my tongue " . Mariyam smiled sheepishly at his sarcastic reply.

" Okaayy so listen carefully ....... "

Few days before ~

In Norein , multinational textiles company branch office

" Mr Ali i think this will work . So , lets comfrim the deal " said Nazakat Ahmed .

" Sure Mr Ahmed let's finalize it " said Jamshed Ali .

Suddenly the office cabin door opened with a tugh sound and a girl entered .

" Ohhh sorry i didn't knew about any meeting is going on here " she said .

" No problem child !! So , why have you came here ?? Is everything fine ?? "

She passed the file to him and suddenly met with hazel eyes . 👀 😁

' Grey doe-eyed met with the hazel ones '

Their eye contact last for 2 sec then she averted her eyes .

" Actually Dad i mean sir....... I have already called the clients and have confirmed about the project and the rest of the details are given here in it " . Her tongue got slipped and by mistake she address his father dad infront of some strangerrs as someone continous gaze was making her heart beat faster.

" Mr. Ahmed Is she your daughter ?? "

" Umm..... yes she is "

" Assallamoallaikum " she smiled awkwardly and then her eyes again met with the hazel ones who was continously looking at her .

" Walllekummassallam miss....?? "

" Norein " She replied sensing his question.

" Oohh yaa ..... Sorry to interfere Miss Norein but I'm just curious to know that why are you addressing your own dad as sir "

" Let me answer it on behalf of her , actually she don't want to reveal it to anyone here that she is my daughter as they will treat her in other way . She is working here just to have experience. Actually she just don't like it to be treated special just because she is their boss's daughter . That's it " .

" Ooh quite impressive " .

" Yah she has done masters in bussiness studies and after that here working as an intern " .

" Umm She is an example of Beauty with Brains " Jamshed said and Nazakat chukkled while Norein aka Noor just passed them a smile .

" Well he is my son ' Ayan ' and he had also done masters in bussiness studies and he probably handle most of my business " . Jamshed introduced Ayan to them and waited him to greet them but his son was just lost in drooling over someone .

Jamshed cleared in throat to get his attention but when his attempt failed he wispered to Ayaan " Everyone is watching you Ayan " 🤣😭 Ayaan Suddenly looked at his father and averted his gaze then looked at norein who was passed him a awkward smile and he did the same with " Hello " .

" Hi " she said .

" Nice to meet you gentleman and good to know that you are handling your father's business quite well in this young age only " . Mr Ahmed admire his work and then they all went on chatting apart from bussiness related things . And here Norein can sense someone gaze at her but whenever she turned around he averted his eyes . But one thing is that she was not feeling uncomfortable under his intense gaze .

Why haven't she felt uncomfortable?? He was stranger to her then she could have felt it but not !! Why is this so ?? Is this what we call love ?? No , love cannot happen just at first meet !! But there are stories of love at first sight . Who knows why was is that so ??!!

Their conversation came to an end and now we cannot say that they are still strangers to each other. Mr. Nazakat Ahmed and Mr . Jamshed Ali both of them have talked so mucch in the mean time that their convo went from bussiness talks to schools days and by this they came to find out that they both were from the same schools and were actually friends but after Jamshed's fathers transfer they parted and was now meeting after 25 years .

Well what a coincidence was this !!

" Well now we are not just mere client we are family now so now I'm inviting you and your family to my wife's Birthday that after few days and i will be so delighted if you attend it " .

" Why not !! We will surely come . I will be eagerly waiting to meet my sister in law " . Both Nazakat and Jamshed chukkled .

" So , let us take our leave now leave " Jamshed exclaimed while looking at Nazakat and then his son who was already looking at Noor but one thing was unusual that is now Noor was also looking at him and was lost .

Nazakat noticed it and cleared his throat to take their attention and was successful it .

" okayy !! We shall meet in the party " Nazakat farewell them with a smile

_________________________________________

They both left the office and came towards their car in the parking .

" She was quite pretty?? " Jamshed said .

" A lot and her eyes were so...... " Ayan suddenly stopped and was regretting of what he has said just a second before. Jamshed looked at his son childishness and burst into laughters.

" Dad its..... it.. n.ot like that " Ayan Shuttered and gave him an awkward smile .

" Yaa yaa it's not like that " Jamshed mimicked him just to tease him more .

Ayaan blushed hard his cheeks turned red he quickly averted his eyes and went towards the car without saying back anything .

Present ~

Mariyam burst into laughter and Jamshed accompanied her .

" I really wanted to meet that girl and also yours dear friend whose stories i had heard alot both from you and you late mother " .

" You will be meeting them today just in few hours " Jamshed assured her with a smile and remember his sweet and crazy school days with him .

" So this was my gift you were talking about?? "

" Hmm.....yeh and you know what you will surely like his daughters as they are just so sweet .

" Daughters ?? " Mariyam raised her eyebrow and asked with curiosity as till know their was no mention of Ajiya here .

" Yehh i forgot to tell you he has two daughters Norein aka Noor she is the elder one and Ajiya she is younger and stidies in the same college in which Arsal is , i haven't met her by now but by seeing Noor i can say that she must be also as perfect and sweet as her " .

" And i have seen that Ayan like Noor so if everything will be fine i will just ask her hand for my Ayan "

" Well if Ayan liked her so she must really so good as he generally avoid marriage talks but Is it not so fast ?? " Mariyam asked .

" I don't know i just said what i feel so "

" Umm let me meet her i also want to see that person who has affected both Ayan and you so much with her personality and if you are saying so we will send the proposal soon " .

Mariyam said as she know very well that her husband do not praise someone normally . And if he is doing so Noor must be a good choice for Ayan as he also liked her which is quite opposite of his personality to really like someone as she had tried many times to convince his son for marriage.
