Sooooo..........
for someone who knew Insiyaa more than anyone in family,.....Shawkat was shocked!
no......Livid!
Actually may be......he wasn’t!
He was mortified!
I mean the way he was giving her the raised eyebrows and thinned lips deadpanned look.....
comic as it was, Insiyaa still wandered how did he managed all three in one go!
he really doesn’t look happy right now!
Just a tini tiny....little bit surprised at first maybe and not the delightful one, that was obvious
A nasty one....not totally nasty nasty, i mean, in between
"please don't go in PTSD" Insiyaa said giving him a look, which Shawkat returned with his dark scowl.
''seriously ? s**t--bloody he---" He cursed..."why ? Just why, why do you do that....why would you do always do that ? is it so.....compelling'' He asked looking at her with incredulity
"umm......actually--" Then she stopped
He waited unblinkingly......she sighed and gave him a shrug!
''unbelievable'' He muttered
"no, It's not----actually, you know me well enough to know that it’s not at all unbelievable"
He gave her grave nod......''i should have guessed the moment i saw you talking to that man who made our papers''
"hmm.....next time don't ignore your instinct" She said cheekily, grinning ear to ear and he gave her another one of his dark scowl in return
''do you have any idea what you just did ?" He suddenly yelled....making all 3 of the girl jump..
"Insiyaa...why don't you just listen to anybody......baba would have brought you here, had he thought it is safe to bought you here''
Insiyaa scoffed and rolled her eyes getting angry......"had it actually been in baba's hands he'd keep me in a cage or worst, swiss bank's SAFE , forever!"
''AND THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER'' Shawkat's voice boomed inside the cabin making Insiyaa jump, Ruthba flinch even Rushda was tensed.......
"......you are a huge pain in the ass! I can't imagine what he would do when he sees you here" He said in restless voice rubbing his face
''this is not Manali.....Insiyaa! we are in another country and we left you in Bikaner____how did you ---
"managed to slipped away under 2 dozen of armed guards!?" Insiyaa asked raising eyebrows
''3 DOZEN.....if you include the ones that was already outside the palace'' Shawkat corrected her, clenching his jaw
''well.....at least give her an applause for dodging 36 pair of eyes, then" Rushda sarcastically said while other two chuckled, Shawkat still looked unimpressed
''useless pieces of shits'' He muttered
"well....nothing new, and since we are past the intro.....i__we need your help" Insiyaa said
Shawkat frowned! and looked at 3 of them skeptically......''what help''
"You see____..........
15 minutes after,......
''YOU ARE INSANE......INSIYAA'' Shawkat roared looking at 3 of them
"why,...?
and how! no one didn't even bothered to inform them___informed US about anything" Insiyaa said giving him a glare
''is this why you are here ?.....you could have asked! Nothing is fixed, that's why "no-one's" informed. Baba just agreed to meet them,.....all of them face to face the whole family. How could you think of him being an inconsiderate one'' Shawkat softly asked,.....judging by his voice, he was really offended, angry even because how Insiyaa thought negatively of Baba.
''well.....he was t_t-alking about their marriage with s-such --ease ....i thought ___
''well someday it ought to happen, so
you thought what......that he would basically just give them away to somebody just like that ?'' He harshly asked and she flinched away feeling guilty
"don't talk to her like that.....she was just worried that she would never see us again" Ruthba said looking at her with a pained look
Shawkat's anger suddenly vanished ......he sighed!
''you knew about this ? beside! why would he not tell us that ?'' Rushda asked intently looking at him
''like i said.....nothing is fixed, we are still just going to perform Amma's burial and we are going to stay there for about a week maybe even less, just to take some rest.....in the mean time if anything happens that's fine, if not we are still coming back, all together" Shawkat said pointedly at Insiyaa
''And what if baba likes them ? what happens then ?'' Insiyaa asked again looking rather angry
''like i said____
"tumhare kehne se kuch ni hota......baba to wohi karenge na jo unhe thik lagta hai ?"
[ you saying anything means nothing......baba will do what he thinks is right ] Rushda said
''Aur tumhe lagta hai ke wo galat kar rahe hai…?" Shawkat challengingly asked
[ and you think he's doing something wrong ]
''guys what is taking you so long and what's all these noise about'' Another familiar voice boomed through with a resounding slapped on the cabin door loudluly and said........"open the door"
''o crappppp!'' Rushda cursed under her breath
"i thought Rahat wasn’t supposed to come" Ruthba whispered
"apparently you thought wrong" Rushda answered testily
"Shawky please handle him....." Insiyaa whimpered making a puppy dog face.....
