Tum aana toh ishq banke aana....

"Sherry, we are in a bigger mess." Jiya's fearful voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Jiya, stop creating suspense. Just tell me what happened." Sheherbano irritatedly asked, as her patience dried off.

"Shams send the proposal for you." Closing her eyes, Jiya spurted out the words and put the phone away from her ear. Expecting Sheherbano's wrath.

"I.... what?" But Sheherbano cackle out a loud laugh and asked.

"Achha mazak hai..." Laughing, she added.

(Nice joke.)

"Sheherbano, Main mazak nahi kar rahi hoon." Jiya sternly called her.

(I'm not joking.)

"Mazak nahi hai toh kya hai? Shams ka rishta mere liye... I mean really?" Sheherbano also become serious but in end again laughed. But her laugh was now hallow and humourless.

(Then what it is? Like Shams really sent the proposal for me...)

"Really! Shams ne tumhare liye rishta bheja hai kyuki.... pata nahi kyu. Lekin maine itna suna ki unhe tumse nikkah karna hai." A loud gasp left Sheherbano's lips when she realized Jiya is telling the truth.

(Shams really sent the proposal for you..... I don't know why he did that but...

"What? Unhone waqai mein aisa kiya? How could... Achha, ab hum samjhe....." Her voice become undertone, as she asked herself these questions.

(He really sent the proposal for me? How could... Now I understand...)

"Kya?" Jiya couldn't understand what she was saying. Before Sheherbano could answer her, Sheherbano's female colleagues walked passed by her, talking about Shams Malik. Which made Sheherbano more annoyance.

(What?)

"Shams Malik! ab hum apko batate hain." She furiously whispered.

(I'll see you.)

"Samajhte kya hain yeh khud ko? Aise hi humare liye proposal bhejenge aur hum accept kar lenge? Inki toh hum abhi khabar lete hain."

(What does he think by sending me his proposal?)

"Sherry, tum kya keh rahi ho?" Jiya, who was listening to her jabbering, asked in confusion.

(What are you saying?)

"Jiya, main tumhe baad mein call karti."

(I'll call you later.)

"Magar, Sherry... Sherry, suno kuch ulta seedha mat karna...Sherry!" Jiya kept saying but Sheherbano disconnected the call.

(But, Sherry... Sherry, don't do anything stupid... Sherry!)

Putting her phone in her bag, rolling up her sleeves, she started going where Shams Malik is.

"Ma'am, kaha ja rahi hain?" The attendant stopped her on the door and asked.

(Where are you going, Ma'am ?)

"Shams Malik se milne." Sheherbano didn't stop for him, replying him, she barged in.

(To meet Shams Malik.)
