IN QURESHI MANSION ✨
The entire Qureshi Mansion was unusually quiet today.
Soft sunlight entered through the huge glass windows while the smell of freshly made coffee filled the atmosphere.
Salman Qureshi walked into the living room while checking the time again and again.
“Aamna kaha ho?”
He called out loudly.
Aamna quickly came out of the kitchen, slightly confused.
“Ji boliye?”
Salman sat down on the couch and sighed softly.
“Aaj Shanaya aane wali thi na?”
Aamna nodded her head.
“Jii… par aap lene nahi gaye usse?”
A small smile appeared on Salman’s lips.
“Nahi, Shanaya ne mana kiya tha taaki Hania aur Anaya ko shak na ho.”
Aamna suddenly remembered everything and lightly smacked her forehead.
“Ohh haan! Main toh bhool hi gayi.”
Before their conversation could continue—
“ASSALAMUALAIKUM AMMI ABBU… MAIN AA GAYI!”
A familiar cheerful voice echoed through the mansion.
Both Salman and Aamna immediately turned around in shock before their faces lit up with happiness.
Near the entrance stood Shanaya Qureshi wearing a beautiful black hoodie with loose jeans, her hair slightly messy after travelling while a bright smile rested on her face.
“Wa-alaikum-assalam!”
Without wasting another second, Aamna rushed toward her daughter and pulled her into a tight hug.
“Kitne din baad mil rahi ho tumse… I missed you so much beta!”
Shanaya smiled emotionally and hugged her mother back tightly.
“I missed you too Ammi…”
Aamna then cupped her cheeks lovingly.
“By the way, papers kaise gaye?”
A proud grin appeared on Shanaya’s face instantly.
“And mere papers bohot mast gaye, Alhamdulillah!”
Salman looked at her proudly before patting her head gently.
“I’m proud of you beta.”
“Shukriya Abbu…”
Shanaya looked around the mansion curiously as if searching for someone.
“By the way… Hania Appi kaha hai?”
Salman’s smile faded slightly.
“Woh apne room me hai… jao mil lo. Bohot sad thi woh kyuki tum engagement pe nahi aayi thi… aur ab usse lag raha hai shaadi me bhi nahi aaogi.”
A guilty expression crossed Shanaya’s face.
“Haan Abbu… main bhi bohot sad thi ki main Appi ki engagement pe nahi aa payi…”
She sighed before smiling again.
“But koi na! Shaadi pe full enjoy karenge hum! Ab main jaati hu Appi se milne!”
Without waiting another second, Shanaya picked up her bag and hurried upstairs excitedly.

HANIA'S ROOM ✨
Meanwhile, Hania was sitting comfortably on her bed while scrolling through her phone absentmindedly.
Her room looked beautiful as different wedding outfits, jewellery boxes and shopping bags were scattered everywhere.
Suddenly—
“HANIA APPPIIIIIII!”
Hania’s eyes widened in shock.
Before she could even react properly, Shanaya literally jumped onto her and hugged her tightly.
“Shanaya tum?!”
Hania looked at her with teary eyes.
“Mujhe laga tum nahi aaogi!”
Shanaya pulled back dramatically and placed her hand over her heart.
“Meri Appi ki shaadi ho aur main na aao? Aisa ho sakta hai kya?”
Hania instantly laughed while Shanaya grinned proudly.
“Accha batao… kaisa laga surprise?”
“Bohot accha!”
Hania smiled widely.
“I’m sooo happy yrr… I missed you alot bachha!”
Her expression softened slightly.
“Abbu ka transfer ho gaya aur tumhare exams the toh tumhe Chachu ke ghar chhodna pada…”
Shanaya sat beside her and rested her head on Hania’s shoulder lovingly.
“Appi ye sab chodo…”
Then suddenly she looked around dramatically.
“Ye batao meri Anaya kaha hai?”
Hania chuckled softly.
“Uske 10th ke exams khatam hue hai toh woh apne friend ke ghar gayi hai celebrate karne. Aati hi hogi!”
“Accha okayy…”
Then suddenly Shanaya smirked mischievously.
“Aur batao humare Sama bhai— oh sorry sorry…”
She laughed teasingly.
“Humare Samad Jiju kaise hai?”
Hania’s cheeks instantly turned pink.
“Maine toh bas unse calls pe baat ki hai… mujhe unse milna hai yrr!”
Hania shyly looked away.
“Mil lena 2 din baad mehndi pe… apne Jiju se aur unke bhaiyon se bhi.”
She smiled softly.
“Unki family bohot acchi hai… aur unke bhai toh bohot hi zyada acche hai!”
Shanaya immediately rolled her eyes dramatically.
“Mujhe kya matlab unke bhaiyon se?”
She crossed her arms proudly.
“Mujhe toh bas apne Jiju se milna hai!”
Hania smirked mischievously.
“Kya pata tum meri devrani ban jao… mere devar ko pasand aa jao!”
For a second, silence filled the room.
Then suddenly Shanaya burst out laughing loudly.
“Appi!”
She shook her head in disbelief.
“Aapko toh pata hai iss duniya me aisa koi ladka bana hi nahi jo Shanaya Qureshi ke nakhre utha sake!”
She pointed at herself proudly.
“Mujhe koi nahi jhel sakta Appi!”
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
♡AUTHOR'S POV♡
Shanaya ko bohot anger issues aur trust issues the.
Woh ladko se properly baat tak nahi karti thi.
Usse unnecessary flirting, fake promises aur over-smart boys bilkul pasand nahi the.
Isliye usse lagta tha ki iss duniya me koi bhi usse handle nahi kar sakta.
Except one person.
Ayan.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
“Hanji mujhe pata hai…”
Hania teased softly.
“Aapki bas Ayan se banti hai.”
A small smile appeared on Shanaya’s lips.
“Haan woh toh hai…”
She nodded softly.
“Woh mera childhood best friend aur cousin jo hai.”
Then she laughed lightly.
“But kabhi kabhi usse bhi jhagda ho jaata hai… phir woh mana leta hai mujhe.”
“Jii main jaanti hu…”
Hania smiled knowingly.
“But tumhara bhi toh koi prince hoga beta jo tumhari saari baate manega.”
Shanaya dramatically sighed and threw herself backward on the bed.
“Chodo Appi ye sab—”
Before she could complete her sentence—
“SHANAYA APPPIIIII!”
The room’s door suddenly burst open.
Anaya came running inside excitedly before tightly hugging Shanaya.
“I missed you sooo much Appiiii!”
Shanaya laughed and hugged her back lovingly.
“Thank God aap aa gayi!”
Anaya complained dramatically.
“Engagement pe aap nahi thi toh itna bore hua tha…”
Then she suddenly smirked.
“Aur Samad Jiju ke shoes chupane wali rasam aap hi kar sakti ho. Unke bhai log bohot intelligent hai!”
A confident smirk appeared on Shanaya’s face instantly.
“Ab main aa gayi hu na?”
She cracked her fingers dramatically.
“Ye shaadi ko best shaadi na bana diya toh mera naam Shanaya Qureshi nahi!”
Then she smirked proudly.
“Aur Jiju ke bhaiyon ko toh main handle kar lungi… tension free raho!”
Hania and Anaya both laughed seeing her confidence.
“Accha chodo ab ye sab baatein…”
Hania stood up while picking up a shopping bag.
“Kal se sab relatives aajayenge.”
Then she smiled excitedly.
“Aur Shanaya chalo… main tumhe apna dress dikhati hu!”
Shanaya and Anaya instantly got excited before all three sisters sat together looking at dresses, jewellery and wedding accessories while laughter echoed throughout the entire room.
And somewhere between those laughs…
Destiny had already started writing a beautiful story for Shanaya Qureshi. 🌙
