ARSHMAAN BAIG

32 pm!

Zaan sighed as he quietly leaned his head against the car window.

And the man next to him was Ali, who was talking to someone on the phone. while driving..

It's been half an hour and Zaan doesn't have any idea where they are going because Ali hasn't told him....

"All good zaan ..., why are you looking at the time again and again? Ali asked, ending the call.

Zaan looked at him and gave him a sweet smile, "ji bilkul sab thik hai ..... bas thoda curious hu itni der hogai or ham kisi manjil par nahi pahuche"

Ali smile back as he pat zaan's thigh saying" bas kuch vakt or fir tumhari manjil aarhi hai my curious boy " and he smirked mantaly!

Zaan raised an eyebrow saying giving pressure on his words " MERI MANJIL? muje laga ham dono vaha ja rahe hai?"

As he gives him confused look  ...! ali cleared his throat saying casually,,, playfuly

" Afcourse ham dono vaha ja rahe hai,,, vaise yar tum mere words par na jao emotions samaj pagle"

Zaan nodded with a tight smile There was an awkward silence for a while until Ali opened his mouth and said, " Acha vaise mene suna hai jab sath acha ho to rashte boring nahi lagte-

" That's why you're not bored...

isn't it?" Zaan said innocently but with a bit of mischief.

Ali chuckle nodded " yes... I am having so much fun that I wish this journey never ends, after all I have such a lovely person with me. " as he lightly pulled Zaan's ear,,,

" so cheesy mr.shah-

" Don't say that, Mr. Khan, you'll break my heart." ali said dramtcly!

" Like i care? Huh" zaan mumbled and rolled his eyes,,,

" Did you say anything? I didn't hear it. "

" Ji nahi "

" Hmm, can I ask you something?" Ali asked.

" Ji " zaan gave him a small nod,,,

"Umm, are you Munaf Uncle's only child? I mean - But Zaan immediately cut him off saying , "Of course Mr. Shah, I am his only CHILD AND SON..."

Ali looked at his face, as zaan had quite a hard expression... ali raised his eyebrows, but his mind diverted at someone...

After a long silence zaan asked " Achanak puchne ki koi khas vajah mr.shah"

Ali shook his head saying sheepishly" bas ese hi socha kas tumhari koi behan hoti "

" Fir bhi aapka koi chance nahi hota-

" Kyu bhai? Muj me koi burai hai?"

" No just Me and my Baba are very possessive, we won't let you ya anyone take any chances. " Zaan said Simply as he shrugged his shoulders..

" How cruel " ali made faces but asked further" or agar tumhara koi BHAI hota to?"

Zaan frowns saying " Now you're interested in my non-exit brother? "

Ali let out dramatic sighs but mumbled boringly " kya kya karna padhta hai dosti

me "

" Huh? Kya?" Zaan look him confusedly,,, ali shook his head and his phone again rang,,, but he ignored.....

And here zaan too as he got busy looking outside!

____________

.at mir mansion

" Dad or zaan kaha hai ?" Umer rubbing his sleepy eyes directly asked someone who came into his vision ,,,

" Aapke dad sajid shab ke kamre me hai or zaan kuch kaam se bahir gye hai "

Umar nodded...and the person took some steps to leave when Umar asked...as he finally noticed something....The new young face.... wearing driver's outfit ..

" Vaise aap kon ? Naye ho? "

And the man stopped... stood in front of him... he absorbed umer from head to toe... and smiled saying"  ha bas kuch yuhi samj le ."

Umer's lips rounded 'o' he smiled back

and gave a thumb up saying with a smile" good luck then "... As Umar turned the way his uncle's room, but the person he disliked appeared before his eyes...

Miran.... Who has dark expressions like always as also he was talking someone through the call...

He looked umer and glared,,, the boy gulped hard and didn't think twice before running from there,,,

And The man behind stood there looked at umer's running self ...and then miran who was looking at him now ....

But a big thing was miran's dark expression didn't affect that man not even a bit.... and giving last glance at umer's way the man turned and was about to leave but Miran stopped him... cutting his call..." stop right there .. Who are you?"

The man stopped turning and he gave his full attention ,,, smile as well saying" my name is Aamir muneeb,,, mr. mir's new driver "

Miran tugged his hands into his pocket coming close to him he asked " driver? Or Kab se? "

Aamir folded his hands behind his back as he said " Jab se mere baba bimar huve hai-

" To tum muneeb ke bete ho-"

" Vaise mere baba aapse kafi bade hai-

" So? He's just servent and Anyway mir mansion me new faces ki entry nahi hai to khayl rakhana aajke baad "

Miran back away taking some steps,,,But his feet stopped right there, when he heard...

" By the way, who are you? I heard that Umer doesn't have any siblings, he just has a cousin named zaan Khan, so you? Oh yes, you are also some servant, right?"

Miran's hands turned into tight fist he clenched his jaw as he turned and roughly hold his jaw bringing him closer he Roar angrily....

" Repeat.... repeat it again and I will cut your head off from this body."

" Why so angry huh? What did I say?" Aamir said holding his hand which was getting dangerously tight, like he would be breaking his jaw...

Miran's steel grey orbs darkened as he kick aamir's right leg brining him to his knees....

miran smirked when aamir hiss in pain....

And then....

" Kya ho raha hai yaha?" Mir sahid shouted from behind,,,

Miran's gaze fell on the old man, who clenched his jaw and said, "Miran, chhodo use "

Now Miran's grip tightened so much that tears welled up in Aamir's eyes. Then Miran pushed him back forcefully and left angrily ..

Sahid looked at Aamir who was glaring at Miran's way clearing his tears...

" Get up aamir,,,and Wait for me outside." Sahid said ...

Aamir nodded standing up he said " sorry sir-

" Ham is bare me baad me baat karenge aamir,,, filhal jao," sahid waved his finger dismissively...

Aamir sighed give small nodd with a slight bow of his head he turned his back ...

Then he smirked as if he got what he wanted , and walked away with long strides...

___________________________________________

And here  finally, after an hour, Ali's car stopped at a place where it was quiet, empty, and full of greenery.

Zaan got out of the car and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's really hard to handle Ali."

He looks around as he knows very well that they are out of city now...

" Well How was the place?" Ali said while fixing his hair.

" Quiet, empty, where a person like me feels at peace." Zaan said, looking around.

Ali raised an eyebrow at the strange sentence, "A person like me?" What does this mean?...But he ignored it as Zaan's doe-like eyes darted around like a curious child.

Ali smiled saying " come with me zaan We have to walk a little bit now."

With his fists in his pant pockets, zaan silently followed Ali, like an obedient child wondering where he was taking him!

After walking for a full five minutes... Zaan was shocked... to see that house, that is, the FARMHOUSE.. which looked very OLD and badly BURNT...

and just....

Tap tap...his footsteps...

It didn't stop until they reached the gate of the old, burnt farmhouse...

Zaan blinked, clutching the rusted steel, and was about to open the door, lost in his thoughts, when Ali grabbed his hand...

"You can't go in-

"But why? Or should we-"

" My boy tumne apne khaylo me dekha nahi ke gate lock hai..... or dusri baat ye ke  Permission nahi hai mere client ki ke ham andar jaye " ali back away little fold his arms as he looked forward ignoring zaan's confused gaze...

" Client??? So?? Aap aakhir muje yaha kyu laye hai mr shah,,, ye gate dekhne ke liye? " Zaan asked, trying to control his anger and confusion.

Ali smirked and pointed his finger at the farmhouse and the entire area, saying," actually All this is my client property... and I have brought you here so that you can take a look at the place and-

" And?" Zaan asked as he jaw was getting tight and his grip was also tightened around the steel....

" So you can design a beautiful home."

"Excuse me?" Zaan's doe eyes got bigger when he understood something....

" Mr shah what did you mean by this ?,,

" What meri jaan ( Ali said as he turned towards Zaan, and put his hand around his neck and pointed towards the farmhouse.) Look, the place is right in front of you. I want you to create a beautiful design for my client."

"But how can I do that?"

"Why? Aren't you an architect? " Ali raised an eyebrow,,,

Zaan took a deep breath unfolding ali's arm from his neck as he back away" Ali Shah, you should know that I am going to be very busy working on our new big city's project."

" You??? But tell me, why would you be busy with my big city project? When you're not even involved in this project" . ali simply said..

Like he didn't throw a bomb at his head....

Zaan's eyes winded,,... his jaw clinched, with heavy breath he took some steps towards ali as he directly held his collar with tight grip " Ali nawaz shah ye kya bakwas kar rahe hai aap-

" Watch your words Zaan Khan, if you don't remember then let me tell you that now you are just an employee working for ME and nothing else... And it is my choice whether I give you any work or not. "

If Zaan had been a truly innocent person, he would have been frightened by Ali's slight growl and threatening voice, but he stood there and looked him without any fear.

Inside, Ali is shocked by Zaan's actions for a moment, but he certainly understands that Zaan's anger is justified... the situation is something for him.

Ali sighed when Zaan's adorable glare didn't shift......... "Adorable" "Yeah, of course. The perks of having a baby face." "He looks cute even when he's angry."

But for zaan, He somehow manages to keep himself from strangling this man until he dies....

With smirked ali remove zaan's hand from his collar saying " Vaise najdeek se tumhari aankhe or bhi khubsurat lagti hai-

"  How can you take advantage of my father's trust, Mr. Shah?"

" Excuse me,? whose trust have I taken advantage of? If you don't remember, let me tell you, your father himself said that i shouldn't be shy in business...Well,,, well if you feel so bad then I am ready to END THIS DEAL. " As ali shrugged his shoulders and Fixed his own collar.....

Punch....

Havey punches....

But....

But....

in zaan's thoughts only.. Afcourse....

Bcz Outside he remains calm...

Silently he Back away as he took more deep breaths calming himself more.....

After a whole minute....

keeping in his mind " sirf baba ke liye" 

Zaan exclaimed through gritted teeth "Should I stand here and take pictures?" ... And he looked away from Ali's face...

As in his mind he is just a few steps away from killing the man standing in front of him.

" Of course not, if you want you can take permission.,,, And you can also ask HIM about the design." Ali said but bite back his smile at zaan's angry face...

Zaan palm his face...Feeling stuck... 

After moment he sighed and asked..." Me? Kaise?"

And Ali immediately took out his phone and directly typed someone's number and held it in his hand...

Zaan glare at ali who just smile Sweetly...

he poked his tongue as he put the phone to his ear.,,, but he asked ....

" Vaise aapke client ka naam kya hai? Mr.shah"

Ali clear his throat.......

And said.......

" ARSHMAAN BAIG"
