Shehzadi ne aakhen kholi apni ?Asked Roohi begum of Khan haveli to her husband .

Ji abhi kaha unki subah hone mein bas chand lamhe baaki hai .spoke Nawed Khan to his wife responding to her previous question.

Aap aur aapki shehzadi ka maloom nahi kya hoga ? Roohi begum said .

Janam , hume pata hai humara kya hoga aap kyu takleef karti hai maze kare . said Nawed sahab and threw a playful wink towards his wife .

Ji haan aapko kyu nahi khabar hogi detective sherlock holmes haina aap . Roohi begum fed up with her husband playful teasing quirky answered .

Sherlock Holmes se kam aak rakha hai kya aapne hume janam said Nawed sahab and quickly holding Roohi begum shoulders by his both hands stopping her movements in one place .

Oye Hoye romance ho raha hai Miya Biwi ka came a loud voice from the corridors of the upper floor .

Chup raho nikammi aulaad yeh koi uthne ka time 9 baj rahe hai bas jab dekho tab ya toh soi padi rehti ho yah fir apne is phone ke saath ishq lada rahi hoti ho said Roohi begum hurriedly with big eyes to warn the owner of the voice not to tease them .

But from when does the owner of the voice start fearing from the big eyes ?

Haan jab khud romance karti hui pakdi jaye toh bas mere pyaari neend aur phone ki saari buraiya yaad aati hai aapko nahi , chale zara tareef kare ab aapki isi nikammi aulaad ne kitne pyaar se khud sajaya hai kabhi itni khoobsurat ladki dekhi hai aapne huh bas burai karte rehte hai said the only daughter of Nawed sahab and Roohi begum Zeenat Fatima rolling her eyes at her mother's nagging .

Kahe baba itni pyaari beti mili hai aap logo phir bhi logo ko taane maar ne se fursat nahi hai again she spoke eyeing her mother with side stare .

Wohi toh beta dekhe, yaha logo ko Zeenat Fatima beti ke kirdaar mein mili aur Nawed Khan Shohar ke Kirdaar mein fir bhi koi izzat hi nahi kya kar sakte khair kismat humari . Nawed sahab said clearly inclined towards her daughter with a hint of tease in his voice to anger his wife .

Sahi keh rahe aap jab aapki izzat nahi hai yaha toh fir chale jaye dono baap beti yaha se kaise apne shaadi se pehle kaha tha yaad hai " Jaha humari Izzat nahi waha hum bhi nahi reh sakte " Roohi begum said copying his tone and way of speaking and body language of how she remembered after so many years of marriage.

Are begum aap toh bura maan gayi bhale hi Izzat hume behad munasib hai par aapse aai hui Izzat hume bilkul gawara nahi hai , Nawed sahab said and pinches her cheeks .

She smacked on his shoulders done with his antiques .

Zeenat seeing all this drama of her parents

still cannot believe how they are together after 27 years of marriage.

Their love story was Khaandani famous , funny and is still going with the same intensity and Zeenat is waiting for turn to experience the love her parents share with each other .

Nawed khan and Roohi begum were first cousins , living in the same haveli all their life from playing all over the house to being the one who makes the haveli home they have seen it all .

Nawed Khan is a neurosurgeon , working in a reputed hospital of the state , famous in the field for working regularly without any benefit of doubt and Roohi begum worked as a English teacher in the nearby school and was retired three years ago .

Khan family is a quiet well off family , with no financial problems .

Aap Ammi bas mere upar hi apna raub jamaye kabhi Bhai par bhi aisi daant pitai nazil karein jaisa mujh par hota hai .

She said with pout lingering on her round face .

Jyada Muh mat banao aur tumse bada hai woh apni jimmedariyon ka ehsaas hai usse tumse behtar hai Samjhi aap Mohtarma , her mother said eyeing her to shut up .

Kya baatein ho rahi mere baare zara hum bhi toh jaane said Raqib Khan ,a twenty-six year old completed his bachelor in business studies from Lucknow University, India . Working as managing director in a MNC at the same city securing 12 LPA .

Kuch nahi bas ek tumhari behen ki fazul baatein , chalo Raqib aur aap dining table par baithe aur tum Zeenat jao dadi jaan ko le aao aur unki medicines dekh lena, , said her Roohi begum .

With that , the men and Roohi begum moved to the kitchen for serving the breakfast on the dining and Zeenat ran to her grandmother's room .Raqib set the water jug and glasses , Nawed sahab sets the plates, bowls, serving spoons .

Bete tum baith jao ab hum aur tumhare abbu kar le waise bhi mujhe tumhara pata hai 3 phulke toh khaye nahi jaate tumse ordered the mother .

Ji ammi , Raqib said and implied .

The couple move to the kitchen , coming back with two dishes each sitting at the table and waiting for the grandmother- daughter duo .

Meanwhile , In Zeenat's grandmother room the scene was completely different . Rukhsar Abdullah Khan , a woman of 67 years still holding the capacity to run and ruin someone .

She is a lady of words , helped her husband during establishing of Khan Manufacturing services and still going strong but as people age they recur some deficiencies that's the case of Rukhsar begum too .

Mother of three childrens who adore her with their life and grandchildren who can die for her unfortunately her husband the man who is behind the Khan Manufacturing services and love of her life demises 2 years ago .

Her first Son is Zunaid Abdullah Khan , well settled with his own family in Mumbai managing their family business for which he had to shift in the new state after marrying but he made sure to visit the haveli in every six months with his family .

Her second Son , Nawed Abdullah Khan , also well settled happy with his own family , Rukhsar begum is very proud and happy with her children and what they have become eventually with the time .

And their only sister and Rukhsar begum's only daughter Amina Abdullah Asif married to Bakhtiyaar Asif , Asif family is renowned business family who prominently works in the field of Construction, providing raw materials within the budget of the client and the couple were first one whose marriage is a love one from both the families which at once time went berserk.

Rukhsar begum after the demise of her beloved chose to live with her second son in the haveli where the memories of Abdullah Khan her husband and their children growing up together as the haveli has seen it all .

Inspite of living separately the siblings are tied in a strong bond of care , love and protectiveness all of them made sure to have a week off from all their professional lives and spent their time together both Zunaid and Amina with their family come for a week vacation in the haveli .

In the room , both Zeenat and Her Dadi jaan is talking non-stop with zeenat lecturing about how careless dadi jaan is in terms of her health .

Dadijaan fir apne dawai nahi khayi ? Huh , Zeenat said crossing her both arms on her chest .

Bas lene hi ja rahi thi utne mein tum aa gayi mere naak mein dam karne ke liye her dadi jaan teased .

Haan haan saare ghar ko toh maine hi pareshaan kar rakha hai , chaliye lijiye apni medicine aur niche chal ke nasta karte hai fir thode der mein bade abbu aur fufijaan bhi call karegi aaj saturday hai na said Zeenat passing the medicines to her .

She gulped down the medicine with half glass of water.

With that they both went down the hall to have breakfast .

Itna time lagta dadi jaan ko bulane mein Zeenat hum sab intezaar kar rahe the na jaldi aana chahiye, said Raqib being done with the waiting when the delicious delicacies were in front of him .

Meri wajah se late ho gaya tha woh maine dawai nahi li thi jab tak yeh aai fir tum dono jaante toh ho ki shehzaadi ne bhasan dene mein Phd kar rakhi hai said desi jaan shaking her head .

Iska kuch nahi ho sakta chale aaye sab baithe fauran jaldi karte hai fir sab ki call bhi aani baaki hai said ammi jaan of Zeenat and everyone sat on the dining table.

Waah aaj toh lazeez nasta bana hai bhai kis khushi mein asked dadi jaan seeing chhole bhature , kheer , fruit platter .

Ji ammi aaj saturday tha maine socha sabki pasand ka kuch bana du lekin aapke liye garma garam phulke ready hai aap nahi khayegi chhole bature aur kheer theek hai aap yeh roti ke saath loki ki sabji aur fruits khayegi said the daughter in law of dadi jaan .

Ammi jaan humari dadi jaan par aisa julm kyu ? thoda toh khaane dein unko bhi Zeenat said requesting her mother to let her dadi jaan eat the delicious food .

Ji bilkul bhi nahi doctor ne masale aur tel wale khaane pe sakht pabandi karne ko kaha aur waise bhi kal sunday saari cheeze ammi ke pasand ke hi banege lekin Monday to Saturday main ek bhi laparwahi bardasht nahi karugi ammi said Roohi begum .

Theek hai Roohi kyu pareshan hoti ho nahi kha rahi main aaj lekin kal main bilkul bhi nahi rukugi , dadi jaan said .

Ji kal aapko koi rokega bhi nahi .

With all the talking , teasing and drama the breakfast got complete and they moved to the hall room to have their call time with the other two families.

🦋🦋🦋

The room is shining from all the sunrise coming through the big balcony transparent doors , apparently the owner of the room loves natural light so much that on a hot summer day he spent his free afternoon on his balcony admiring the sun and the irony is he is in love with the winters too .

A Twenty-seven year old , CEO of Khan Manufactures , Arsalan Zunaid Khan is a big name in the world of Manufacturing business living in a sea facing apartment in juhu Mumbai .

The apartment is glowing with the morning light , all the members have woken up except for the one and only little prince of the house Imraan Zunaid Khan .

Ghar ke sabse chhote nawabzaade .

Arsalan getting done with his morning routine went into the kitchen area seeing his mother and father preparing for breakfast he asked .

Ammi Imraan utha kya ?

Bhai zara time dekhe sirf 8 baje hai aapko lagta hai woh itni jaldi uthega ? asked Arsalan and Imraan's only sister Rubab .

Main dekh ke aata hoon .He said but halts hearing his mother .

Jao jao beta ek tum hi toh ho jisse janab thoda darta hai warna sabke naak mein toh dam kar diya hai usne , his mother Amina said .

With that , he runs to the room .

Imraan on the other hand is sleeping like a toddler , both legs parted drools all over the face, blankets scattered around but not on him seeing this Arsalan shook his head observing the condition of the room .

Imraan Utho chalo 8 baj gaye hai , said Arsalan with the softest tone he can acquire .

But seeing no movements from him .

He shouted .

IMRAN , UTHO Abhi .

Huh Bhookamp aaya mummy BHAAGO , He screamed waking up abruptly.

Chup raho ekdum , 20 minute mein naste par dikhne chahiye tum samjhe , Arsalan said and went out .

All sat on the dining table , discussing business , family , future and anything they can think of .

Beta main aur tumhari ammi isbaar Eid Lucknow mein hi karega aur haan ramzaan bhi wahi manayenge , yeh toh sirf business ke hawale se hume yaha shift hona pada warna main toh kabhi yaha nahi aata said Arsala's abbu .

Ji abbu aap logo ko jaisa theek lage , arsalan said .

Rubab aur Imraan tumlog khud ki planning dekh lo aur mujhe bata do saath jana hai yah nahi , said their ammi .

Main toh jaugi ammi , waise bhi meri university toh complete ho gayi vacation ka pura fayda uthaugi waise bhai aap nahi aayenge , Rubab asked .

Mujhe apni schedule check karni padegi ek baar , aur waha jaake Zeenat ke saath ghumti mat firna , jao vacation enjoy karo fir tumhe masters bhi karna said Arsalan halting his spoons in the middle .

Ji bhai , nodded Rubab .

MAIN AA GAYA , screamed Imraan entering the dining room .

Haan toh chup chaap baitho isme ailaan karne wali koi khaas baat nahi hai said Arsalan .

Ammi dekhe apne bade bete ko kaise hukm chalana aata hai bas , he complaint with stomping his feet sitting on bis chair .

Thik hi toh karta hai harkate dekhi hai apni tumne , a taunt threw at him by his mother .

Huh aap logo se koi umeed hi rakhna bekar hai sab apne bade bete ke liye mohabbat jaagti hai aap sabki , Imraan as always the prince of the house still threw tantrums .

Accha yeh apni nautanki band karo aur mujhe batao is baar ramzaan aur eid Lucknow manane chaloge humare saath yah fir apne bhai ke saath yaha rukoge ? Asked his mother.

Kya hum haveli ja rahe hai ab maza aayega na pure Ramzaan tasty tasty Iftar aur sehri milegi ahhh maza aajayega , fir Zeenat ke saath har sunday ghumne aur shopping jayenge hum , he said looking at Rubab who also nodded her head in anticipation.

Due to the lack of holidays in the season of Eid , the whole family always missed either one or two members on the occasion but as decided now the elders are determined to unite this year with a full family .

Aur Arsh abhi bhi kuch wakt hai Ramzaan ke mauke ko toh mera khyal is baar tum bhi humare saath chalo , sab saath mein rahege accha lagega toh apne schedule ki ek- do cheeze inhi dino tick off karlo fir waha jaake free rahoge pure mahine na sahi par aakhir ke 10-12 din aur Eid-ul-fitr tak toh ruk hi sakte ho said his abbu maintaining eye contact.

Ji Abbu main try karuga . He nodded .

Chalo theek hai nasta khtam karo tum sab aur Arsh dadi ko salaam karke hi jana ab bas kuch der mein call karenge ab unhe nasta karke . Their ammi announced and with that both the younger ones started eating faster in order to talk to their grandmother.

The elders just shook their heads knowing their habits and all .

30 minutes later , they all sat together in the hall room excited to hear the loud salam like every week .

Laptop placed on the table positioned as such capturing all of them to the camera .

SALAM WALEKUM MERE PYARO , the loud salam echoed through the laptop .

Walekum salam meri jaan kya haal hai ? Replied Amina .

Ji sab theek hai roke main zara side leti ho baaki sab se baat kare , Zeenat said and sat on the corner out of the camera capturing area .

The elders share a lot of things about life , business , professions , children , plans etc and youngsters detail every little detail to their dadi jaan through the call . Be it of what they ate to what they talked . Arsalan's voice piqued in between for questions asked .

At last Arsalan's father informed them about their plan on staying and celebrating the month of Ramzaan and Eid-ul-Fitr in Lucknow .

Hainn ? Sacchi ? Aaye aaye jaldi aaye sab humlog khoon maze karenge , Bazaar jaakar eid ki shopping , Har hafte hum shehri bahar karenge night out jayenge aur fir mere crime partners aa jayega toh sabka jeena mushkil kar denge hum , Zeenat in her excitement blabbered everything.

Haan tum aur tumhare Namoone ko bas outing hi jaane ki padi hai said Zeenat's ammi taunting them .

Toh chachi hum thodi khud jaate woh toh Arsalan bhaijaan le jaate haina said Rubab defying her chachi eyes .

Toh beta is maharani ke kehne par toh humara Arsalan fauran flight pakad ke yaha aa jaye woh toh shukar hai Humari Zeenat ka ki woh Arsalan se baat nahi karti hai warna fir toh kya kehne the said Zeenat's mother shocking everyone and embarassing two of them .

Zeenat's character of being chill , one to speak everything she thinks is directly inherited by her mother .

Zeenat being the shy one in this matter silently leaves the hall room running towards her rooms trying to leave without getting noticed but luck was not her side , Rubab saw her leaving through a quick taunt .

DEKHO kaise bhaag gayi bhabhi billi ki tarah .

The elders in the haveli laughed and the ones in the apartment looked at Arsalan seeing his slightly red ears but due to his expressionless face they refrain themselves from teasing him..

Main chalta hoon aaplog baat kare , he said and with the same nonchalant attitude started walking towards his room to be safe from the coming teasing from his siblings but before he could even reach his room he heard Imran .

Dekho pehle biwi aur ab Miya bhaag gaye hai and all of them laughed hysterically and he practically banged the room of his door in a quick motion signing in the fright of his chachi jaan and mother in law in one .

Meanwhile , with the elders .

Chalo inke saath saath tumlog bhi nikalo yaha se hume kuch baat karni hai their grandmother ordered and they scooted away .

Kya baat karni hai ammi ? Asked Zunaid .

Yahi ki ab pure 3 saal hone wale hai inke nikkah ko ab bhi aise dur-dur rehte ek dusre mere khyal se ab inki ruksati ka sochna chahiye hume said Dadi jaan .

Main bhi yahi soch raha tha waise bhi Zeenat ki padhai puri ho gayi aur ab toh masallah se ek saal bhi puri ho jayegi usse job kare eid ke agle hafte said her father .

Toh fir main baat karu Arsalan se ? Asked Amina .

Haan tum Arsalan se baat karo hum Zeenat se karte hai uske baad hi kuch faisla hoga said their dadi jaan and they hung up after discussing the matter in hand .

3 Years Ago

The whole family was in the hospital when their dada jaan was hospitalized due to an unfortunate sudden heart attack leaving the family shattered during the treatment .

But soon the attack was stabilized and with proper care and nursing were discharged with many guidelines for the family and the patient.

A few days after the attack , both dada jaan and dadi jaan have called their both sons into their rooms.

Knocking on the door both the brothers came in after the permission.

Sab theek haina ammi kuch hua hai kya ? Asked Zunaid.

Haan sab theek hai pehle yaha baitho dono hume kuch jaruri baat karni hai said their ammi .

Ji , both of them said take their place .

Dekho mujhe maloom hai ki sayad main bahut jyada maang raha hoon par jaisa ki sabko pata mere pass jyada time baaki nahi hai , their abba said but got interrupted by them in the middle .

Aisa toh na kahe abbu abhi toh aapko bahut saari cheeze dekhni baaki said Nawed khan .

A chuckle left from their abbu seeing them not even talking about the upcoming storm which will happen eventually.

Inkaar karne se kuch nahi hoga , mujhe kya dekhne ko milega ya kya nahi par main kam se kam apni bade pote ki shaadi dekhkar alvida lena chahta hoon pata nahi kitna time hai mere pass said their abbu .

Aap keh rahe hai ki Arsalan ki shaadi kara deni chahiye asked Zunaid .

Ji , aur main yeh bhi chahta hoon ki Nikkah agle 3 mahine ke andar ho jaye mujhe nahi pata main aur kitne wakht tak yaha reh sakoge sabke sath said their abbu .

Par abbu itni jaldi Ladki kaha se dhundenge aur Arsalan ko jo bhi uski hone wali wife hogi uske saath comfortable hone mein bhi toh time lagega na ? Asked Nawed this time .

Isiliye humne ladki bhi dhundi hai jisse tumlog acche se jaante ho, this time it was their ammi .

Kon hai ammi ? Asked Zunaid

Zeenat ki baat kar rahe hum , said their abbu .

Zeenat ? Both the brothers looked at each other for a bit .

Mujhe pata hai Nawed main tumhari beti maang raha hoon apne bade pote ke liye par yeh samjho ki agar ho sakta ki main apne pehle pote aur poti ki shaadi ek saath dekh sakta hoon toh meri khwahish yahi hai ki dono ek dusre se shaadi karle said their abbu looking at them with a hint of request .

Par abbu Zeenat abhi bahut chhoti ? Unki bhi toh Razamandi honi chahiye asked Zunaid.

Mujhe maloom hai ki meri khwahish bahut badi hai par mere pass wakht ki bahut kami hai aur main inki shaadi dekhna chahta hoon , main kisi ke saath jabardasti nahi kar raha hoon tumlog sab acche se soch samjh kar faisla karna aur Zeenat se main khud baat karuga , Arsalan se baat karne ki zimmedari tum par hai said their abbu .

Ji hum baat karke batate hai , they both said .

Accha suno , agar dono maan jaate hai toh fir yahi meri aakhiri khwahish hogi aur ab tum dono ja sakte ho .

Two days after their discussion.

Both Zunaid and Nawed first discussed with their partners , they all know that it's the best decision that still feels the tension as their children have a significant age gap and as cousins too they are insufferable to each other .

That evening Zunaid came to talk with Arsalan .

Baba aap ? Mujhe bula liya hota . He said

Kuch important baat karni thi .

Kuch important baat karni thi tumse toh socha yahi aa jau , his father said .

Ji baba bole , he said .

Do din pehle tumhare dada jaan ne hume bulaya unki akhiri khwahish hai ki tumhari aur Zeenat ka Nikkah ho jaye agle 3 mahine ke andar andar said his abbu .

Yeh aap kya keh rahe abbu ? Humari Zeenat ke saath kaise ? Asked Arsalan

Kyu nahi beta pasand nahi hai Zeenat ? acchi nahi lagti ? Dekho tumhare dada jaan kaha hai ki woh kisi ke saath Zabardasti nahi karege isiliye mera farz hai ki har woh koshis karu jisse tum raazi ho sakte ho . Abhi Zeenat se baat Nahi hui hai aur agar tumhari razamandi hogi tab hi baat aage badhkar us tak pahuchegi warna hum usse pata bhi nahi chalne denge ki aisi koi baat bhi uthai gayi thi , main jyada kuch toh nahi kahunga lekin 1 hafte ka wakht lo saari baatein ko samjho fir mujhe tumhara jawab chahiye . He said and left leaving Arsalan in shock, bewildered

Arsalan being the logical one first decided to talk to his grandparents then as said by his father, he took a week doing Istikhaar seeking allah guidance for choosing the right thing for him .

A week he only spent replying to email , engaging in work , performance Istikhaar every night before sleeping and most important he observed Zeenat way much more than necessary, it's the month of April her 2nd semester has just started and she is busy getting familiar with everything .

He admired her ability to focus , she is someone who would tease till death but when you are in trouble she would be the first one to come and help you .

He noticed many things of her with a new perspective which he never did before nor of her neither of any one else .

And finally He said YES to the proposal.

And the elders decided to take this matter into Zeenat's mind through her grandmother.

The next day , Zeenat was summoned by her grandmother.

She knocked and came in without waiting for any permission .

Ji dadi jaan apne bulaya mujhe , She said looking up to her grandmother in her bed .

Haan idhar aao beta mere pass baitho tumse jaruri baat karni hai , dadi jaan said and she sprinted towards the bed .

Kahe meri jaan aisi kya baat ho gayi hai ? She asked .

Meri chanda tumhe toh pata haina dada jaan ki tabyat ko lekar sab pareshaan hai , her grandmother asked .

Haan , Zeenat replied without dragging the matter as her grandfather is very sensitive to her .

Tumhare dada jaan ki ek khwahish hai jo hum sab bade chahte tum pura kardo , she said caressing her hair in a motion .

Kaisi khwahish dadi jaan ? Zeenat asked perplexed .

Tumhare dada jaan chahte hai ki tumhari aur Arsalan ka Nikkah ho jaye woh bhi 3 mahine ke andar hi , humne Arsalan se baat ki usne pura 1 hafta liya aur soch ke hal raat mein hume uska jawaab mil gaya ab hum baat aage badha sakte hai , koi jabardasti nahi hai gudiya bas ek khwahish hai tumhare dada jaan ki , Rukhsar begum with the gentle tone said trying to make Zeenat understand their point of view .

Seeing Zeenat not responding she once more spoke out .

Koi pareshani hai beta toh pucch lo abhi humse koi bhi sochne wali baat nahi bas main chahti hoon ki baat ko tum ek baar acche se dekhlo fir agar tumhari naa bhi ho toh hume koi ruswai nahi hogi kabhi .

Dadi jaan par woh toh mujhe kaafi bade hai ? She asked .

Sirf 6 saal bada hai tumse , tumhe pata main tumhare dada jaan se pure 8 saal chhoti hoon , Dadi jaan said .

Par main abhi bahut chhoti hoon shaadi ke liye she asked again .

Sirf Nikkah ki hoga Rukshati tumhare padhai puri ho jayegi uske baad jab tak tum apni professional life mein settle nahi hoti hamne nahi karni hai , she answered .

Unhone haan kar diya , this time she asked still shocked .

Haan kar diya hai ab bas tumhare jawaab ka intezaar hai , dekho meri bacch mujhe nahi lagta hume Arsalan se accha ladka mil sakta hai , pehle toh woh tumhe bachpan se jaanta hai sabse badi baat ki tum use jaanti hoon , dekhlo beta Ameer bhi hai jab bhi man karega tab ghar baith sakti ho , fir mera pota hai bhai handsome toh hoga hi baaki tumhe pata hai woh kaisa hai , ab jao acche se socho fir apna jawaab dena humne Arsalan ko 1 hafte ka wakht diya tha tumhare pass bhi utna hi wakht hai , dadi jaan said and Zeenat left for her room .

And she also took the whole week , analysing everything , the pros & cons , the situation, and of course she performed istekhaar too , but she also had a talk with Arsalan on the 3rd day after the talk with her grandmother.

And She also Said YES to the proposal making everyone happy .

And within two months their Nikkah was done with a lot of preparations , teasing , talking and planning .

Unfortunately after eight months of their Nikkah their grandfather again had a heart attack he couldn't survive this time .

Leaving the home , and people feeling sick to their core , the haveli was bathed in a thick air , storm too hard that could break everyone in the family but as the time passed the atmosphere became normal .

And now the family is thriving , yes the missing part of the family will always be remembered but now they have passed the stage of grief .
