Free Friday

When they got a free Friday and they did.........

Mid-terms came and went

It was first Friday after mid-terms. It was the class of Shela who had all students around her, discussing their passions and different things. Shela was replying and enjoying discussions.

Fajahad: (standing and panting on door) “May I come in?”

Shela: “Fajahad!! Kahan thay?”
(Fajahad!! Where were you?)

Fajahad: “Practice k liye gaya hua tha.”
(I was gone for practice.)

Shela: “Yahan aa k baitho! yahan aa k!”
(Sit here! Sit here!)
She was dabbing on seat.
Danish, who was gone to take out his notebook, was sitting there. But when he came back there was:

Shela: “Danish aap dusri kisi seat pe bath jao? Please!”
(Danish. Cam you sit on any other seat? Please!)

Danish: “Jee Miss”
(Yes Miss)
And poor nodded and sat behind while looking down.

Shela: “Aur tum Fajahad! Yahan baitho!”
(And you Fajahad! Sit here!)
 

She was dabbing on the chair.

When he sat down, she said

Shela: “Kal House dekha? Kiya hua tha usme? Itni tareef suni hai!! Please jaldi batao!”
(Did you watch House yesterday! What did happen in it? I have heard so many praises and compliments! Please tell me fast!)

Fajahad: “Aap ne nahi dekha tha kal?”
(Didn’t you watch it yesterday?)

Shela: “Nahi na bari behan k bachay aaye huay thay.”
(No man! Big Sister’s children were at home.)

Fajahad: (while putting chalia in) “Unko ek kamray mein band kar k dekh leti!”
(You should lock them in one room and watch it.)

Shela: “Jab tumharay bhai behan k bachay honge tab poochoon gee!”
(When your siblings would have kids then I will ask you!)

Fajahad: Aray bacho se yaad aaya! Kal aap pooch rahi thi k main kyun nahi aaya tou uski waja yeh thi k Ali k yahan….”
(From Kids I remembered! You were asking me why I did not come yesterday! So the reason was that Ali….)

She, then looked in front at them and found them looking at them blankly while some looking down in a sense of having no value

Shela: “Ap sub map karein”
(You, all, do map.)

And then turned back to him

Shela: “Haan, tum kiya keh rahay thay?”
(Yeah! What you were saying?)

Fajahad: “Yahi k Ali k yahan kal beti hui thi”
(That Ali was blessed with daughter, yesterday.)

Shela: “Wow! Congrats! Methai kab khila rahay ho!”
(Wow! Congrats! Why you are giving me sweets to eat, then!)

And all gone back to their places while murmuring

Farhan: “Yeh Faji humari mahbooba lay gaya!”
(This Faji, has taken our lovebird away!)

Essa: “Tharki insaan!”
(Lecherous man!)

Danish: “Abhi aanay ki zaroorat hi kiya thi!”
(Why did he need to come now!)

While Shela got busy with

Shela: “Haan tum ab jaldi jaldi batao na k kal kiya kiya hua tha!”
(Yeah! Yeah, now tell we fast that what did happen in yesterdays’s episode!)

Fajahad: “Kal House ne Cameron ki Baja dali thi...”
(House insulted Cameron, yesterday…..)

Shela: “Phir tou House bohat handsome aur charming lag raha hoga!”
(Then House would be definitely looking charming, yesterday!)

And they all were side-eyeing at him and decided "Isko tou ab sabaq sikha kar rahay in gay!" (Now we will teach him lesson at any cost!)

                       --

Monday

College

Shela was in Farah's class

The test papers were checked.

The papers were distributed.

Shela: “Fajahad ka paper aap sub zaroor dekhna. He has done it smartly. And his essay is extremely worth reading.”
(You all should see Fajahad’s test paper. He has done it smartly. And his essay is extremely worth reading.)

All girls shrugged their shoulders up and widened their lips with narrowing their eyes in return.

Zoya: “Aap khama khai mein Fajahad ko smart samjhti hain! aap uskay bhai sey milein gee tou aap Fajahad ko bhool jaye gee! Farah sey bhi pooch lein.”
(You, unreasonably, compliments Fajahad that he is smart! You don’t know his brother! I am sure, you will definitely forget him when you will meet him! You can ask Farah too.)

Shela: “Acha? Tou phir bulao unhein!”
(Really? Then call him!)

Zoya: “Sachi?”
(Really?)

Shela: “Haan bulao jaldi, yeh raha mera phone.”
(Yeah! Call him fast. Here is my phone.)

And Farah called him

Farah: “Faraz bhai main English ki drama ki book ghar pe bhool gai hoon plus driver bhi ghar par nahi hain aap laa saktay hain?”
(Faraz bhai, I forget my English’s drama book at home and driver is not at home tofay.Can you bring it?)

Faraz: “Acha main lata hoon.”
(Okay I bring it.)

                      ---

While there he left for home and after finding book he left again.

                     ----

And there everyone out of class waiting for him and looking out from corridor.

Soon the yes brightened

Farah: “Bhai aa gayein!!”
(Bhai has arrived!!)

They were looking the guard taking book from him and not letting him come in

But Shela's big voice "Ashfaq bhai, andar aanay dein" (Ashfaq bhai, let him come in!) did the work.

All the girls ran to class when watched him entering in building and peeking out

And Shela showed hid in class. When the sound of footsteps of him were sensed she came out of class walking as if to go somewhere and he stopped her with "Excuse me"

And her eyes got lost in his round deep brown eyes having bushy eyebrows on fair face having think eye lashes, long and ideal nose and ideal his Hugh Lauriman like lips.

Zoya: (peeking out and standing near the door) “Shela tumharay bhai ki tou deewani hogai!!”
(Shela has fall in love with your brother!!)

Faraz: “Excuse me”

Shela: (trying to balance herself) “Jee?”
(Yes?)

Faraz: “Aap yeh book Farah Hussain ko dey sakti hain? Woh PE-1G ki student hai.”
(Can you give this book to Faraz Hussain? She is the student of PE-1G.)

At the same time Fajahad with Farhan having class fellows behind 

Faraz: (after finding Hus brother near) “Yeh behan ko dey dena, Fajahad”
(Give it sister, Fajahad.)

Meanwhile female and male students of premedical in one line walking out and moving to downstairs, looking at him and leaving jaw dropped whispering 

"Yeh kaun hai?" 
(Who is he?)

"Fajahad ka bhai hai, shayad, kyun k abhi is ne kaha issay okay bhai."
(May be he is Fajahad's brother because he said him bhai)

"Kitna handsome hai!"
(Isn't he so much handsome?)

"Fajahad tou iske saamnay kuch bhi nahi"
(Fajahad is nothing in front of him"

Arsalan was also one of them, there.

And his class fellows were also looking at him and murmuring that Fajahad is nothing in front of him.

And when he said "behan ko dey dena"(give it to sister), all were like "Kiya tameez hai behan ka naam tak nahi lia" (what a respectful guy! He has not even taken her name!)

And whole time Shela was looking at him and smiling and when he turned to leave she stopped him

Shela: "Aap ka naam"
(Your name?)

Faraz: (turned a little) "Faraz"

And widened his lips to smile 

And walk to leave while greeting coming by teachers who were asking him.

Shela: "Poora naam"
(Full name)

Zoya who ran out stood behind her near ears said "Faraz Hussain"

Shela was awoke

Shela: "Faraz Hussain! Storage Inc. Ka malik! Jo har mahinay apnay employees ko salary deta hai!" (Faraz Hussain! CEO of Storage Inc.! Who gives salary to his employees every month!)

And boys standing in front said

"Lagta hai ma'am Uzma ek mahinay chor kar ek mahinay salary deti hain tabhi yeh haal hai!"
(May be Miss Uzma gives them salary alternately. That's why, this is her situation!) And they all were laughing.

Shela: (shaking her head) "Aur saath mein USB ya headphones bhi."
(Along with USB or headphones!)

And all were shocked looking at Fajahad

Qasim: "Faji meray liye baat kar!"
(Faji, talk to him about me!)

Osama: "Meri CV bhej dey"
(Send my CV)

Essa: "Mujhe bhi ek USB dey dey!"
(Give me one USB too!)

Fajahad: "Oye bus kar! Peechay par gaye ho USB aur headphones k!"
(Stop it! You all bump on USB and headphones!)

While Shela thinking about him

                   ---

Night at Shela's

Her conversation started with Faraz and ended with

Shela:".......Tum tou waqai apne bhai k samnay kuch bhi nahi! Safaid mein itna haseen lag raha tha, kalay mei tou aur bhi handsome lagay ga mera munda!"
(...You are literally nothing in front of your brother! He is looking so handsome in white! How much more my guy would look handsome in black!)

Fajahad stood in anger and flood it

Fajahad: "Aap ka nahi, meri bhabbi ka munda! Faraz! Faraz! Faraz! Aap tou subah se peechay hi par gai hain usi k! He is married! Aur mujhe unka couple bohat pasand hai! Aur woh bhi apni biwi k ilawah kisi ka sochte bhi nahi hain!!"
(He is not yours! He is my sister in law's man! Faraz! Faraz! Faraz! You has been literally talking about him since morning! He is married! And I like his couple! And he too, doesn't think about any other woman except his wife!)

And she was shocked

                  ----

While Farah at home looking how her brother's entrance added two marks and remembering
"And yeah your marks are now increased. It was a good attempt."

                          ----

Facebook page was filled with comparison between brothers and preference of Faraz over HAP.
 And it left the smoke coming out of his nose and ears.

                            -----

"Hello, kal 11 bajay ek client aaye ga"
(Hello, a client will come tomorrow at 11 in morning)

"Aap ne refer kiya hai?"
(Do you refer him?)

"Aap k reference aayein ge, usay kehna 11 bajay office mein hi reh"
(He will come with your reference, ask him to remain in office at 11)

                          ------

While he put the phone on desk, Fajahad came in room

Fajahad: "Aap aaj college kyun aaye thay?"
(Why did you come college today?)

Faraz:"Kyun k Farah ne bulaya tha"
(Because Farah called me)

Fajahad: "Kyun?"
(Why?)

Faraz: "Kyun k woh book ghar bhool gai thi. Kyun? Kiya hua?"
(Because she forgot her book at home. Why you are asking? What happened?)

Fajahad: "Kuch nahi!"
(Nothing!)

And marched away

                -----

He rushed in room banged the door behind and bumped on the bed when the phone rang.

Fajahad: (picked up the call) "Haan Farheen bolo"
(Yeah Farheen say)

Eyes were closing and he was talking

Farheen: "Acha, ziyada tar subah kitne bajay uthtay ho?"
(Okay, when do you wake up mostly in morning?)

Fajahad: "Chaar bajay"
(at 4)

Farheen: "Itni jaldi! Kyun?"
(So early! Why?)

Fajahad: "Kyun k iss time pe khuda mahsoos hota hai, nazar aata hai. Isliye"
(Because God is felt and can be seen at that time. That's why.)

The phone was put on the bed, lost in thinking and observing constellation listening

"...sirf fajar parhta hoon."
(Only offer Fajar)

And his phone.....
