Flashback over

Sehrish and Hamza entered the house. It was almost 5 pm. Sehrish had her finals viva today.

"Aaj deri ho gyi?"

Her ammi asked and she nodded slumping against her on the couch. She massaged her hair and kissed her head.

"Viva tha aaj mera. Bhut thak gyi hu."

"Kaise gaya?"

She nodded and told her the whole story about how khadoos the external was and how their own teachers were of no help but she somehow survived the external.

Everyone listened with a slight amusement. Sehrish and her way of telling stories amused everyone. She put in full theatrics.

After having dinner everyone settled in the living room when they heard the door to dadijaan's room open.

She slowly came out and Hamza rushed to help her making her smile and caress his head.

Aarish got up vacating the place for her to sit. He made her sit on the couch where Aarish was previously sitting.

Sehrish's breath stuck in her throat. Hee dadijaan didn't come out of her room very often nowadays. But whenever she did it meant serious business. And this time around Sehrish knew what the business was.

She looked at Hamza who smiled and blinked his eyes in assurance telling her that he was with her.

"Sehrish?"

See! She knew this.

"Jee dadijaan?"

"Padhai kaisi chal rhi hai tumhari?"

Sehrish gazed at Hamza again before replying.

"Jee achhi chal rhi hai dadijaan."

The old lady hummed and asked further.

"Ye aakhri saal hai na tumhara padhai ka. Achha hai. Bhaye nikah ki taiyariyan shurein krein phir."

She said looking at the rest of the people and Sehrish looked at Hamza in panick.

"Dadijaan? Hum-hum wo-wo-actually-"

"Aaj ke zamane mai kahogi Sehrish?"

Dadijaan mocked and Sehrish gulped. She nodded and looked at Hamza for help.

"Jee-wo-wo-maine-"

"Dadijaan. Sehrish actually Masters krna chahti hai German language mai."

Hamza answered on her behalf gaining everyone's attention and dadijaan frowned.

"Hain? Kyu? Kya krna hai?"

"Arre dadijaan bhut scope hai aage. Bhut demand hai German ke teachers ki aajkal. Shuru hote hai lakh se kam package nhi lagega."

Dadijaan nodded and Sehrish's father asked.

"Tumhe kaise pata ye sab Hamza?"

Sehrish gulped and looked at her abbu wide eyed. She then looked at Hamza who looked cool as a cucumber.

"Maine hi forms bharwaye the chachu. Bhut confuse ho rhi thi ki kisme bhare aur kya karna hai. Toh abhi kuch time pehle hi bharwaye hai."

Everyone nodded and there was silence for sometime which dadijaan broke and asked.

"Aur nikah ka kya krna hai?"

This time Aarish spoke up.

"Nikah toh hota rahega dadijaan. Kaunsa koi kahi bhaga jaa rha hai. Lekin agar Sehrish ka mann hai aage padhne ka toh padhne dein na usse."

Sehrish smiled gratefully because her dadijaan won't ignore the supposed hone wala dulha.

"Thik hai bhaye agar sab raazi hai toh krlo padhai. Kitne saal ka hota hai ye course?"

"Jee dadijaan 3 saal toh kamaskam."

Dadijaan nodded and then Sehrish looked at everyone's faces. No one seemed to have any problem. She sighed but then she remembered the main thing.

"Umm-actually-ek chhoti si problem hai."

"Kya hua?"

Her ammi asked and Sehrish looked at her knowing her courage will deflate if she looked at anyone else.

"Actually yaha pr koi bhi achhe institutes nhi hai German ke liye. Toh maine kuch bahar ke institutes mai bhi apply kia tha logon se consult karke aur Hamza ne bhi kaafi logon se puchha tha. Sabne Delhi ke institutes ki kaafi taarif kri toh humne Delhi ke liye bhi apply kra tha. Abhi kuch dino pehle unka mail aaya tha. Abbu mujhe select kr lia hai unhone."

Her father got quiet for sometime and then shook his head.

"Hargiz nhi! Anjaan shehar aur upar se waha koi rishtedar bhi nhi hai hamara jiske yaha rukwa du tumhe. Aur PG main mai rehne nhi dunga. Delhi mai toh bilkul nhi."

They weren't unaware how unsafe Delhi was for girls. Sehrish looked at Hamza for help who blinked his eyes and spoke.

"Mere paas ek solution hai chachu. Maine bhi abhi kuch samay pehle jobs ke liye interview diye the. Unme se kuch ka reply aaya hai. Agar aap log kahenge toh mai Delhi wali firm ka accept kr lunga. Reviews bhi achhe hai uske aur package bhi achha offer ke rhi hai. Phir usse ye masla bhi solve ho jaayega. Waha ek chhota sa flat rent kr lenge. Sab manage ho jaayega."

Everyone got silenced. They thought for some time and then Hamza's father spoke up.

"Haan toh ab toh ho gyi na problem solve. Kyu bhai Wahaj? Ab toh koi masla nhi hai? Jaa skti hai Sehrish apni padhai krne. Hamza saath hoga hi hifazat ke liye."

Wahaj nodded and said.

"Jee bhaijaan koi masla nhi hai. Hum saara intezaam krwate hai flat wagerah ka. Tum logo ka waha settle krwa denge."

He said and patted Sehrish's head making her smile. She was his only child and he loved her to death.

Sehrish was really happy. At night when she was sure everyone was asleep she messaged Hamza.

Terrace pr mile mujhe abhi.

Hamza frowned seeing her message. She had never called him before. He nonetheless got up and went up the stairs not making any sound.

He reached the terrace but frowned seeing it empty. As he got in the door it was shut and locked. He turned to see his wife standing there with a mischevious expression.

He smirked and pulled her into his arms.

"Kya baat hai begum? Aaj bhut bold harkate kr rhi hai aap."

She blushed as all her boldness went into drain.

"Waise Delhi jaana confirm ho gaya hamara. Mubarak ho. Long honeymoom ke liye ready begum?"

She looked at him wide eyed and he chuckled seeing her expressions. She hit his chest and whined.

"Maine aapke liye kuch plan kia hai."

She said after a minute.
