One week later, Mehran is working in his cabin when he heard a knock.

'Come in.' He said. The door opened and Shadab entered. Mehran looked at an envelope he held. It looked like a fancy card, like a wedding card. Shadab smiled and placed the card on the table. Mehran picked it up and looked at it, his frown turned into a smile.

SHADAB JAFFERY

WEDS

HUMA ANSARI, 14TH FEB 2017

'Your friend is finally getting hitched.' Shadab said happily and sat on the chair opposite Mehran. 'Another Bakra getting Halal.' Mehran joked and the two men started to laugh. Mehran then goes on to grill him for hiding such important news from "his brother from another mother". Shadab blushed profusely and eventually spilled the beans. 'Everything happened so quickly I didn't have time to tell anything. Plus, you weren't here for one whole week. It all happened then.' Shadab defended himself. Mehran shook his head smiling.

'Good, blame it on me.' Mehran said and the two men grinned at each other. Then, Mehran slightly stood up from his seat. Leaning forward he patted Shadab's shoulder

'All the best buddy, you will be missed.' He teased and Shadab blushed though he tried his best to hide it with his fake angry look.

Umaira sat in her cabin and is working on the photos in her laptop when Emma entered her cabin.

'Hey, want to have coffee?' She asked. Umaira looked at her friend, she looked tried. Emma sighed. She held her hand and insisted her. Umaira kept protesting.

'No more excuse. Look at you, you look like a zombie.' Emma said dragging Umaira out from her cabin.

Umaira and Emma stood at the coffee machine, Emma is chatting with other colleagues while Umaira is lost. Emma turned around and found Umaira standing leaning against the wall, hot steaming coffee mug in her hand and her gaze staring at the front wall.

'All fine?' Emma asked. Umaira sighed, she is about to reply when her phone rings.

'Excuse me.' Umaira said. She is confused looking at the unknown. She noticed it is an Indian number, she wondered if it's her parents calling from a different number.

'Hello?' she said

'HEEEEYYYYYY.... Kamini....' an over-excited female voice screamed from the other side. Umaira's straightened and wide smile appeared on her face.

'HUMA....' She gushed happily.
