"Sonu meri darling
Jaane meri jaaneman
Baspan ka kya pyaar
mera bhool nahi jaana re"

High pitched sound echoed in the dark room, startling the person, making him fell off the bed who was sleeping soundly. A groan left his mouth as his butts touched the ground with thud.

"Anaya!! I will kill you," He mumbled, rubbing his butts when he managed to get up.

"Jaldi bata kya kaam hai, subah ke 2 baj rahe hai. Khud toh soti nahi hai, bhootni kahin ki. Na hi mujhe sone deti hai," He swipe on the screen of his phone, muttering.
(Hurry up what's the matter, it's freaking 2 AM. You-yourself don't sleep, like a Ghost. Neither you let me sleep peacefully)

"Arey calm down, actually I was working on a painting. So I couldn't sleep and now I'm craving for some ice cream. Wanna join me?" Anaya giggled from other side, as she knew how much her best friend loves his sleep.

"You paying ?" His ears perked up, hearing 'ice cream'. He might love his sleep but food comes in exception. Who would refuse offer like this, at least not him!

"Alright, I will."

"I'll meet you at the end of the street. And you're taking your car," He disconnected call before she could argue.

Slipping cotton t-shirt over his body, he wore his slipper and took wallet and phone. He tip toed make his way out of his house, so quietly. It took him years to be professionally sneak in and out of the house like this.

Whistling softly, he reached at the end of street where his best friend was waiting for him like she should. He grinned knocking at the window of passanger seat, she waved unlocking the door as he slipping into the car.

"Aise hi hum gareebo ko yaad karti raha kar," Veer chuckled connecting his phone to music system of the car his best friend owned.
(Like this, always remember poor fellows like me)

She nodded keeping her eyes fixed on empty road. She changed gear, taking right turn on the road when veer said.

"Let's go to the new ice parlour, opened last month. I read reviews online which were quite impressive and plus point, parlours is always open, like 24/7," He screamed in high pitch, making anaya close her eyes as she felt herself getting deaf with sudden scream.

"Stop screaming like a freak. You freak," She mumbled, speeding up the accelerator.

"Sorry," He sheepishly smiled when she glared at him.

Anaya parked her car in front of lavish ice cream parlor and tossed her credit card at his direction, "Go and get my usual."

"Yes ma'am," He saluted her before scampering out, leaving her behind shaking her head.

She leaned against the seat, closing her eyes relishing the peaceful silence nature provided with cold breezes blew around and touching her body as window glass were rolled down. She rested her head on the window looking at nowhere particular when her silvery eyes paused on her best friend through the giant glasses of the building. She smiled watching her best friend scratching his curly walnut hairs in clear confusion of choosing flavour of ice cream. What a carefree soul he was, Touchwood. It always amazed her, the way he carried his persona, nothing less than an inspiration for her.

Veer walked out of the parlour after good ten minutes, taken by the delicious ice cream behind the glass which made him confuse in choosing the flavour. Damn, he wanted to taste every flavour. But some other time, he consoled his whining self. He took his seat beside Anaya, who looked deep engrossed in thoughts.

"What happened ? What're you thinking," He asked her as she snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head, igniting the engine and pulled on the road, toward their usual place which wasn't far from the parlour.

"Nothing, just thinking about the project we signed a week ago, I have to prepare layout and other things too," She replied glancing at the packed box of ice cream and back at the road.

In no time they reached their usual spot, the cliff–they discovered years ago during their college times. Since then, it's been their hiding place because not many people knew about that place.

Veer sat beside Anaya and handed her the ice cream box with opened lid, because he knew she'd need help with it anyway. Anaya's hazel eyes twinkled at the sight of her ice cream and start gobbling down it, relishing it's taste.

"You know, you have started to overwork these days. Always busy with office and then your paintings," Veer broke the silence which fell between them and spoke.

"So what ?" She shrugged her shoulders and eat her portion of ice cream.

"You need to start taking care of yourself, else you'll easily fell sick," His cloudy grey eyes oozed concern, for her like always.

"What is sleep to you ?" She questioned him, licking ice cream off the plastic spoon.

"A way to find peace in chaotic life; to shut of all the drama and worries," He peeked at her side and answered whatever came into his mind.

"Painting works same for me as sleep. Those radiant colours; and empty canvas gives me peace when I fill it with these colours," She mumbled, leaning onto his shoulder as she finished her ice cream.

"You say this always," He murmured adjusting himself according to her comfort and relaxed.

"Still you ask it every time."

"Whatever."

"Dad you just can't do that to me," Anaya's silvery eyes widened in shock as she trembled.

"I can and I will," The authority in his tone left no room to argue as he walked out of her room leaving her behind, shocked and angry.

She felt her limbs weakened as she fell on covered floor. He can't do that. He just can't. He's my father. Her mind keep chanting.

Fishing out her phone from the sling bag rested on her shoulder and dialled the number with shivering fingers.

"Yes babe," Her best friend chirped from other side.

"Veer," Her throat cloaked, making it difficult for her to speak.

"Yes Ani what happened? Are you crying ? Tell me, now you're scaring me ? Ani," She sighed.

"Will you let me speak," Even at this situation she couldn't hold her tongue in front of her best friend.

"Sorry, please."

"Meet me at our usual place, I'll reach there in minutes."

She disconnected called after muttering.

"What ?" A scream left his mouth as she revealed what happened back then in home.

She nods, leaning onto his shoulder to seek some comfort from his warmth.

With speed of light, he wrapped his arm around her in comforting manner as his heart thudded loudly against his chest. He could easily feel it, so did she.

"I'll talk to him," He murmured because there was no way he'd let happen whatever her father wanted to do.

"You think he will understand. Seriously," A humourless chuckle left her mouth before she sighed defeated-ly.

"We will show him proofs."

"You can try."

"I fucking will," He replied with determined tone.

"I don't wanna marry Ayaan," The tears she was holding, spilled right in front of veer. Gently, he wiped tears under her eyes before nodding, asking her to stop crying. His heart constricted watching her crying, the ache found home at his heart.

"We'll come up with solution. I'm with you, alright. Don't loose hope," He tried his best to comfort her with words.

They fell into silence; one seeking comfort and other finding ways to solve the problem.

Watching Anaya drowsing on his shoulder, Veer softly shook her and patted his lap silently asking her to place her head there. She took no time to do so, streching her limps, she laid her head on his lap when he gently massaged her scalp.

He glanced at her soft facial features and the havoc created into his head before, calmed at the site. The moonlight reflecting on her skin, increasing beauty of hers tenfold. He felt it; the emotions and the feelings. He rubbed the area where his heart rested when his heartbeat raised.

He needed to do something, nodding at himself. He took out his phone, typing away a speedy message and hoping for best results as soon as possible.

He shoved phone inside the pocket and looked down at the person for whom he'd do anything. He won't let anything happen to her against her will, even if he would have to go against his family. He promised to himself which he intended to keep.
