episode 13

---

Ahad ko Meerab se is tarah garm-joshi se milte dekh kar board room ka taapmaan achanak barh gaya tha. Zaviyar jo abhi tak chup khara tha, us ke chehre ki sakhti dekh kar Meerab ko lag raha tha ke abhi yahan koi bara dhamaka hone wala hai. Ahad ne jaise hi Meerab ko chora, us ki nazar peeche khare Zaviyar par parri jo use apni tez nigaahon se ghoor raha tha.

"Oh, hi! Aap shayad is company ke CEO, Mr. Zaviyar hain?" Ahad ne bohot hi dildarana andaz mein apna haath aage barhaya.

Zaviyar ne ek pal ke liye us ke haath ko dekha, phir bohot hi thanday aur sapat lehje mein us se haath milate hue kaha, "Mr. Zaviyar nahi... Mr. Zaviyar *husband* of Meerab." Us ne lafz 'husband' par is tarah zor diya jaise wo Ahad ko apni boundary saaf-saaf samjha raha ho.

Ahad ek pal ke liye hairaan hua, aur phir us ke chehre par ek pyari muskurahat aa gayi. "Oh wow! Meerab, tum ne mujhe bataya hi nahi ke tum ne shadi kar li hai, aur wo bhee itne bare business tycoon se? Congratulations, man! Meerab hamesha se bohot special rahi hai mere liye, university mein hum dono ke qisse poore campus mein mashhoor the."

Ahad ki is baat par Zaviyar ne Meerab ki taraf dekha, jis ne darr ke maare apni nazren jhuka li thin. "University ke qisse?" Zaviyar ke lehje mein tanz saaf mehsoos ho raha tha. "Well, Mr. Ahad, hum yahan business meeting ke liye jama hue hain, purani yaadein taza karne ke liye nahi. So, shall we start?"

Meeting ke dauran, Meerab ne mehsoos kiya ke Zaviyar ka dhyan files par kam aur Ahad par zyada tha. Ahad jab bhee kisi baat par Meerab se rai (opinion) maangta, Zaviyar beech mein bol parta aur bohot hi strict professional andaaz mein baat ko rukh mod deta. Meerab andar hi andar muskura bhee rahi thi aur darr bhee rahi thi. Us ne pehle kabhi Zaviyar ko is tarah bacho ki tarah jalte hue nahi dekha tha.

Jaise hi meeting khatam hui, Ahad ne apna bag uthaya aur bola, "Chalein, deal to sign ho gayi. Meerab, aaj shaam ko tumhare haath ki chai peene tumhare ghar aa raha hoon, purane dosto ko mana nahi karte!"

Meerab abhi haan kehne hi wali thi ke Zaviyar ne fauran kaha, "Zaroor Ahad. Aaj shaam ko hamare ghar par tumhara intezar rahega. Main khud tumhari behtareen mehmaan-nawazi karunga."

Zaviyar ke chehre par is waqt jo ajeeb o ghareeb muskurahat thi, use dekh kar Meerab ko saaf samajh aa raha tha ke shaam ko ghar par mehmaan ke samne koi naya hi drama shuru hone wala hai.
