"From the moment We started talking I knew that I wanted You Around."

Sheeba's P.O.V.:

I went upstairs to meet all my 9 cousins, excluding my brother Afroz. Ali, Afreen, Ishrath, Bushra, Sajjad, Waseem, Khayyum, Faizal, Salim. Unfortunately I was the youngest of all and I hate it because they always gang up against me calling me a baby. Ali & Waseem bhai got married when I was in my 7th class. They wouldn't involve us while going out, planning pranks and all. Since they married their life changed totally.

I met all my cousins and bhabhis and they all shouted "Finally the great princess has got time for us after so many years!" They pulled my leg asking about the boys who proposed to me and if I had any boyfriend or crush. It was the problem in family gatherings. I hate to become the center of attraction. My brother came to my rescue and managed everything.

All were present except Khayyum and Faizal. Before I could voice out my thoughts loud, Sajjad bhai informed that they went out. He was the one who could read my mind after my brother. He was my second favourite brother. I handed over the gifts which I bought for everyone and I gave Khayyum's present to Bushra di. I didn't want to take any risks by approaching him. Later we all had lunch and started gossiping about my jiju and his family.

I bid bye to all and went to my room to catch some sleep, as soon as I laid on the bed I fell asleep. How much I missed my old bedroom. I got disturbed from my precious sleep when someone shouted in my ear loudly. I jolted from my sleep and looked at the only person who was always the enemy of my sleep. I got up from the bed and ran after Sana.

Sana was here to pick me to meet her family and for a movie. Sana knew everyone in my family, she was like a regular visitor. After chasing and beating her, I moved towards my room leaving Sana with my family to catch up. I picked a green color top and black jeans and went inside the bathroom. The worst part was that the tap was not working.

I went downstairs and asked Ishrath di about it. She said that they were not sure whether I was coming early or not, so they didn't give the connection to my bathroom. I sighed and went to Afreen di's room to shower but to my bad luck, Afreen di was in the bathroom and all the other bathrooms were occupied and some of my mean cousins didn't allow me to use their room saying personal and all. I was left with no choice other than using either Khayyum's or Faizal's washroom.

Without any doubt I went to Khayyum's room. I could bear his anger or scolding but I wouldn't use Faizal's room. Thank god, he was not at home. I quickly showered and went out with Sana. Afreen di too accompanied us.

Khayyum's P.O.V.:

After taking care of catering, wedding dresses, altering the measurements according to jiju's size and inviting some relatives personally we both headed home. It was already 7:30PM and I was hell tired. I just want to shower and sleep peacefully without any drama. I could tell by seeing Faizal's face that he too was tired and trying hard not to sleep.

We reached home at 8:00PM and I thought everyone would offer some snacks and ask about how we were feeling. But damn these idiots, no one looked at us and everyone were busy in watching TV, eating and playing video games.

Faizal went towards his room and I went to mine. I quickly took out the towel and entered the washroom. When I opened the door of the bathroom, a sweet smell of jasmine, coconut and Lilly enveloped my nostrils. It felt so heavenly and I felt myself relaxing and all the tiredness washed away. But it was not my body wash. Maybe one of my bhabhis or Ishu di used it.

Keeping the thoughts aside I took a long and hot shower and went downstairs to have dinner. When I reached the dining table everyone were present except Afreen. Before I could ask where Afreen was, Faizal beat me to it and Waseem bhai answered that she went outside with Sheeba and Sana. Listening to her name we both were shocked and Waseem bhai further explained that she arrived today morning and she went to meet Sana's family.

We had dinner peacefully and when I got up from the dining table, Ishu di accompanied me asking whether I took care of her bridal dress. I replied to her that everything was fine and I asked the question which was bugging my mind that who used my bathroom.

Ishu di replied that Sheeba used it because her washroom had some problem and di even told that she said she could bear my anger rather than using Faizal's. I was shocked to hear that from her. I inquired further whether she actually said these words to Ishu di. She replied that Sheeba was talking her thoughts out loud forgetting the fact that she was present next to her. Unknowingly a smile crept on my lips and I said good night to Ishu di and headed to my room.

'Oh gosh what happened to you Khayyum? How can you smile like this? It's not even a day since she came and she started invading your personal space and life. You hate her.' My subconscious shouted at me. I shut down the power button of my mind and slept with my earphones plugged-in.
