Shehry’s POV:

We were so busy with the dj-ing, that we didn’t even realize when Mama and Baba had arrived. I saw Dad wave at us from the center most table. He had another family with him.

I handed my headphones to Atif, who was basically just standing there and checking all the girls out.

“Gosh Ati! Stop checking out girls. Kuch kaam bhi kar le yaar!”, I told him smacking him on his back. Bechara he looked so embarrassed. 

“Waqas, yeh camera pakad, abhi aata hoon. Baba bula rahein hain!”, Hussain handed him the camera.

We walked towards our parents, and as I got closer, I saw Amna, standing next to my mom.

What the hell? Yeh yahan kya kar rahi hai?

“Sain, who dekh! Amna!”, I whispered, trying not to move my lips, while still keeping that smile on my face, as I slowly walked towards them.

“Yaar, yeh yahan kya--- Assalamalaikum Baba, Mama! Aplog yaha kab aaye?”. Hussain’s voice went from whispers to loud as soon as we got to them.

“Maha…”, he continued giving her a hi-5. 

“Assalamalaikum”, I said reluctantly, trying to avoid looking at Amna. 

“Walaikum Salam”, they all replied, and it sounded like a chorus.

“Beta, yeh mere dost hain, Abrar, aur yeh unki family”, baba said, and I stretched my hand forwad and shook hands with Amna’s dad.

“Yeh Shehryaar hai”, he said pointing at me, “aur yeh Hussain”, he said and Hussain then shook hands with him too.

So Amna is Baba’s friend’s daughter?

“Arey, Asif bhai, inko pata hay ki aap-“, Abrar uncle was cut off by my dad, “Je haan maine inko sab bata diya hai.” They were talking about me and Hussain knowing about them being partners. 

The adults got busy in their usual talks, and I, who until now had not even looked at Amna, decided to quickly glance at her. 

She was casually just sitting next to her mom, and her eyes were glued to her phone.

“Shehryaar, Hussain, baitho. Aap log khade kyu ho?”,  her mom said. 

I made a quick look around, and the table was round, with Baba, and Uncle sitting next to each other. Maha, was sitting next to Baba, and Mama, was sitting next to her, with Aunty. Amna was sitting next to her dad. The only 2 chairs that were remaining were the ones in between my Aunty, and Amna. 

Hussain quickly grabbed the chair next to Aunty, leaving me the chair next to Amna.

SHIT!

I slowly pulled the chair out, and noticed that she looked at me through the corner of her eye. I moved my chair closer to Hussain’s without making a noise so no one would notice, and sat on it. 

“Shehry beta, yeh Amna hai, Abrar jee ki beti. Yeh app hi ke college main padti hain.”, baba said out of the blue.

Well great! I thought he didn’t introduce us in the beginning so he might have forgotten but no! He remembers! Shit!

“Oh. Hey..”, I said trying not to look at her.

“Shehry, Waqas is calling us.”, said Hussain suddenly, getting up from his chair, and patting my back.

I didn’t want to miss this chance, and quickly got up, “We’ll be right back”.

“Thanks Sain”, I whispered, as we walked towards the DJ station.

“Koi nahi”, Hussain winked.

We got to the station and asked Waqas, and Atif if everything was okay, and they nodded.

Hussain then grabbed the mic, “Ladies and gentle men! May I have your attention please? Y’all might be wondering what the occasion for this grand party is. Well, why don’t you hear it from the main guys themselves. I would like to call Mr.Asif, and Mr, Abraar here on stage please..” 

The halled filled with the sound of every clapping, hooting.

Uncle and Baba, came up on to the stage, and Hussain continued, “No No No! Itni bhi jald nahi! Pehle thodi entertainment toh ho jaye!”, he signaled Atif who started playing the music that we were supposed to dance to, and Waqas came running on to the stage. 

What? Dance toh announcement ke baad karna tha! HUSSAAAAIIIINN!

The entire crowd went wild. Everyone grabbebd their cellphones, and cameras and started recording. The lights went dim, and the spotlights were now on us.

“Dad, this is the surprise”, Hussain whispered into dad’s ear, “and you guys are dancing with us too”, he winked.

Amna’s POV: 

Great! So they’re gonna dance now. Show-offs kahin ke!

I looked back at my phone, and started browsing through my phone when I suddenly heard, “Baji”

I looked to my left, where Shehry was sitting before, and saw Maha sitting there. 

“Main aapko Baji bula sakti hoon?”, she asked innocently.

“Aww, bilkul bula sakti hain aap. Maha…right?”, I asked, pulling her chubby little cheeks.

“Jee..! Aapko pata hia, Shehry aur Sain bohot acha dance karte hain. I’m gonna cheer for them very loudly. Will you cheer too?”

I smiled, “Oh really? App dance nahi karti ho?”, I tried no to reply to her question. 

“Nahi, main-“ 

Ishq mein tere, announce kardiya…tere liye dil kudiyon ka bounce kar diya… Played really loudle, and all of us just turned toward the stage, and they had started dancing. Uncle and Baba were clapping and moving a little bit too. They loked so funny. 

During their dance, Maha got really excited and starting dancing herself, near the table.

I tried not to look at Shehry, but couldn’t help myself. He just looked too….umm HOT, if that appropriate, while dancing. Even though I wanted to hate him so much, this moment just made me forget all of the hatred, and couldn’t take my eyes off him.

They danced for about 20 minutes continuously. Their steps were coordinated, and it was just perfect. I could recall some of the dances, from their videos, uff looking at them dancing live was just mind blowing.

My happiness soon went back to hatred, when the music stopped, and I realized what the reality was.

“Th-Thank-You-Gu-Guys!”, Hussain said, trying to catch his breath, and then passed on the mic to Uncle.

They then started announcing what the occasion for the party was, and everyone cheered, and congratulated them. 

The rest of the evening went by fairly quickly. I got busy with Maha, while the boys were busy playing the music, and taking pictures. 

Soon, the time had come when we had to leave.

I was so busy with Maha, that I didn’t even realize, that my parents had invited Shehryaar’s family over at our house for dinner the next day.

And since it was the last day of the week, I knew they were going to be at our house for a long time. 

I just hope Shehry doesn’t come.

******The Next Day*******

I decided not to go to college today, and instead, submitted my homework online. Luckily, I had a little bit of cough and cold as well, thanks to all those cold drinks that I had last night. Aur ab Mama wont suspect anything either.

I didn’t want to see Shehry today. He was obviously gonna show off, and try to talk to me about last night. And I didn’t want that to happen. 

I received a text from Sana.

Sana: Dude! Where are you? Everyone’s worried!

Me: Hey, im not feeling to day, I wont be coming.

Sana: You didn’t come yesterday either? You alright?

Me: Yeah just caught a bit of cold…

Sana: You sure? Hussain said he met you last night at some party, and you seemed okay…

Me: Haan yaar im okay, raat ko I drank a lot of cold drinks, and now I have cold.

Sana: Sahi hai. I’ll catch up with you later. Class is gonna begin. Miss you! Xoxo

I then brushed my teeth, took a shower, and went down. Mama, was busy cooking, and Umer had already left. Dad had gone out to get some sweets for tonight. 

I told mom how I wasn’t feeling well, and decided not to go to college. She gave me some medicines, and said, ”Beta, help kar do gi? Clean up the living room please. Aaj sham ko dawat hai, yaad hai na?” 

“Jee Mama!”

I ate my breakfast quickly, went to the living room, and started putting the cushions in place, and keeping all the things together,

I wonder why Baba invited them tonight. I mean itni bhi kya jaldi thi? Kal hi toh mile they hum.

Soon, I got so busy in cleaning around that I didn’t realize it was already 6 o clock, and they were going to be here by 7:30. 

I went up and decided to get ready.

*************

Okay guys! So I decided to give you guys another chapter, since I won't be able to update at all until wednesday next week, since I have my finals and I will be studying.

This chapter was ready, and I just had to edit it a bit, and so I decided to update it today.

The next chapter is going to be long, emotional, and something crazyyyyyyyyy is going to happen.

Any guesses?

Since its going to be a long chapter, it will only be updated on either wednesday night, or by thursday afternoon-ish, because it has a lot of editing to do. 

Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter.

Do vote and comment!

Thankyou!
