HeartBroken novel Chapter 7

Chapter Six

"Fatty! I’m also here. Or did you forget me?” Sahaan turns towards the husky male voice.

"Who are you calling fat?!"Sahaan shouts in fake anger.

“Let Hammad be! Come here, Sahaan. It's been so long!"Isra, Sahaan’s cousin, interrupts their bickering and moves forward to hug her.

“I missed you,” Sahaan hugs her back.

"We have lots of shopping to do for Amrah’s wedding! I'm so excited. It's been so long since we've visited."Isra continues talking, not breaking the hug.

"Stop it lizards! Stop sticking to each other like that in this heat.” Hammad, Isra’s brother, separates them.

Sahaan’s second aunt has two children, Hammad and Isra.

Isra is of the same age as Sahaan, just a few months younger than Sahaan and Hammad is two years older than her, yet the two are very close and they bicker a lot!

Hammad is over two years younger than Ahmed. Azra is the youngest in the family after Isra, Amrah is the oldest while Sahaan is the second oldest.

Ahmed enters the haveli and greets his aunt. He does some weird hug with Hammad. Isra, who is aware of Sahaan's crush towards Ahmed, teasingly nudges her with her elbow.

"Ahem! Bro, I’m also here! With your secret admirer." Isra whispers the last part under her breath, only heard by Sahaan.

Sahaan opens her mouth, but closes it back. She just pokes Isra in the stomach with her finger, making her hiss, but Isra covers it with a fake cough when she sees Ahmed approaching them.

"Gangsters, what are you still doing here? Didn’t aunt tell you to go and get ready?” Ahmed playfully glares at them

“We were about to go, but what are you doing? Should I complain about this to aunt?” Isra laughs at him and they both run away before he can get angry.

Ahmed shakes his head and leaves the hall, giving the kitchen one final glance.

Hammad slowly goes towards Sahaan, who is setting the dishes on the platform. He

bends his neck forward to see what she’s doing.
