The journey up the mountain was a serene affair. The night had cloaked the world in darkness, and the quiet hum of the car engine added to the peaceful atmosphere. Despite the late hour, there was a sense of anticipation among them. Reaching the summit, they were rewarded with a breathtaking view. The city sprawled beneath them like a bed of glittering jewels. Every twinkling light added to the mesmerizing beauty, and the cool midnight breeze carried with it a touch of magic.

After spending what felt like hours soaking in the view and the peacefulness, it was time to descend. As per Dua and Ehsan's wish, they were headed back to Pizza Hut for sehri. The ride down was just as silent and dark, the deserted road amplifying the stillness of the night.

Dua, who was quiet for so long, at last opened her mouth as she was becoming scared by the silence in the deserted road. She wanted to get down to the chaotic road asap.

Dua clutched the shirt around Hassan's shoulder and said, "bhaijaan zra jaldi chaliye na...dkhiye na kitni dangerous lag rahi hai yeh road...kahi yaha par koi bhoot na pakad le hume."

"Kya bakwas hai ? Yaha koi bhoot woot kuch nahi hai .. tum ghabrao nahi" said Hassan, assuring her that they were safe, trying to mask the amusement in his voice.

"Areh ap bohat masoom hai..apko nahi malum ...ese dangerous jungle o mein hi Jin aur chudail rehte hai.
Main itni khoobsurat hoon.. kahi koi Jin ko mujhse mohabbat hogyi to mera kya hoga aur waise bhi aap bhi kuch kam handsome nahi hai...agr apko dekhar kisi chudail ka dil agya aap par to aap to kaam se gye bhaijaan ..main Tayyi ammi ko kya jawab dungi..you know na you are my responsibilty now." Blabbared Dua, as if she is in a very serious problem.

Hassan shook his head at Dua's stupid thoughts.
" Tum fikar na karo...mere rehte main tumhe kuch nahi hone dunga..chahe wo koi bhi ho insaan ya phir koi jin" said Hassan, in a promising voice.
But somewhere he smiled listening to her mentioning him as 'HANDSOME'.

Meanwhile, the situation in the car was no different.
In the car, all the girls were also scared but did not utter a word due to their self-respect.

While Aniya couldn't shut her mouth any longer because Ehsan was driving the car very slowly and leisurely, she said, " Areh Ehsan ab car jaldi chalao na...mujhe darr lag raah hai yaha par...kahi kuch ho na jai hume"

"Areh...rey..rey..itne mein hi darr gayi humari Aniya baby" Ehsan mocked. Of course he had to. How could he miss the opportunity to irritate Aniya?

"Daro nahi Aniya ..yaha kuch nahi hota..humara sehar bohat safe hai" said Alina, holding her hand and giving it a squeeze.

" Areh...tum kyun chinta kar rahi ho..agar yaha par hume kisi insaan ya phir kisi bhoot ne pakda to tum kehna ki tum Muskaan ki cousin ho..air dekhna wo tumhe kuch nhi karega" said Ehsan to Aniya

"Aur wo kyun...main kya unlogo ki rishtedar lagti hoon jo...wo mera naam sunkar kuch nahi karenge"asked Muskaan.

"Nahi..!! Rishtedar to tum hamari lagti ho (unki qismat humari tarah buri thodi hai- he thought) ..wo bhi duur ki ...but see how everytime you come to irritate us , so I'm sure you will make them run away by irritating them. And even if they don't run, then you can just show them some of your singing skills" said Ehsan, laughing, making the rest of them to burst into fits of laughter except Muskaan who was throwing draggers in their directions.

"Apne ghatia jokes, apne pass rakho tum..." Yelled Muskaan and turned her face towards the window.

"Acha..acha thik hai ...ab ladhai na karo tumlog .. aur Muskaan tum Ehsan ki baat ko apne mann na lagao wo mazak kar raha tha" said Haya to control the situation, though she was also trying to stifle her laughter.

Finally, they reached Pizza Hut. As they scrambled out of the car, Ayan called out
"Ehsan jaldi ao aur order kro....sirf adha ghanta baaki hai sehri ke liye.."

"Haan...yahan par jaldi pizza khao phir ghar jaa kar Mr. Qasim Khan ki beizzati bhi khaani hai" added Ehsal.

"Main kya tumhaare abbu ka naukar lagta hoon..?? Tum jaakar order karo" replied Ehsan.

"Acha ji...batao yeh baat abbu ko?? waise bhi mere pass proof hai ..yeh sab bata denge Abbu ko jo tumne abhi kaha" said Ehsal sassily, waving his phone as a silent threat.

"Kya yaar...yeh baar baar abbu ki dhamkiya dete rehte to tum...jata hoon par yeh nahi sochna darta hoon Abbu se ...mein ja raha hoon because mera dil bohat achha hai" huffed Ehsan proudly and stood up while muttering, under his breath "bss yeh baat abbu ko na pata chale ...wrna Abbu chodenge nahi mujhe"

" Do you know pizza mein kitni calories hoti hai...??" said Anfal

"Lo bhai shuro .. yaar koi chup karao is calorie conscious ladki ko..!! " Haya said, putting her hand on Anfal's mouth to shush her up..while everyone burst into laughter.
Their nok jhok continued until the pizza arrived.

As they are, the last slice of pizza was caught everyone's attention, and Aniya was going to take it when Ehsal picked it up.
He was going to take a bite when he saw Alina was pouting as she couldn't get the piece of pizza. So he offered the piece to her, making everyone shocked at her behaviour.

"Kya bhai...main itna bhi bura nahi hoon" he said embarrassedly.

"Sach mein Ehsal khaloo? Matlab pata chale pair ya gala hi kharab hogaya mera kal tak" Taking the piece of pizza from his hand, Alina asked with concern dripping from her voice, and Ehsal was quick to snatch the piece of pizza back..!!

"Zyada nakhre na dikhao...nahi khana hai to na khao..na shukri aurat" said Ehsal angrily.

"Areh areh ...sorry yaar ..main to bss mazak kar rahi thi...mujhe malum hai tum kitne ache ho ...ab plz dedo yeh pizza" Alina changed her words in a span of a moment, because pizza is love.

" Ab ayi na line par...yeh lo tum bhi kya yaad rakhogi" handing it back to her, Ehsan said.

After finishing everything, they headed back to the house with their never ending nok jhok, making the night one to remember.
