Rayyan was sitting in Nazrin Begum's lap while everyone was having breakfast.

Abbas Sahab asked, "Umar, have you made sure all the preparations are done?"

Umar replied, "Abbu, don't worry, everything is ready."

Abbas Sahab nodded, "Good then."

Everyone continued with breakfast when Rayyan suddenly asked, "Papa aapki shaaid bhi aise hi hui thi?"

Umar smiled and said, "haan aise hi hui thi"

While feeding Rayyan, Nazrin Begum smiled as Rayyan innocently asked, "to mai kaha tha aapki shaadi mein?"

Everyone burst into laughter at his question, while Haleema looked at Umar with surprise.

Umar replied casually, "Tum soye hue the."

Rayyan gave his father a questioning look and said "to aap ne jagaya ku nhi mujhe?"

Abbas Sahab chuckled watching Umar's face as he tried to come up with an answer.

Umar finally said, "Chup kar ke nasta karo sawal jada karne lage ho tum"

Rayyan shook his head and said stubbornly, "nhi mudhe dawabb tahiye (nhi mujhe jawaab chahiye)"

Umar turned to Haleema and said, "dekh lijiye aap hi dijiye jawab mai to nhi de raha"

Haleema gently said, " bachha pehle aap nasta karo baad mein ye question/answer ka session karna"

Rayyan who never disobeyed his mama nodded and said, "Oteyy, Mama (Okay, Mama)."

After breakfast everyone got busy with the preparations for Hareem's wedding. Umar went into the kitchen to meet Haleema before heading off to the office.

Umar was sitting in his office, focused on his laptop screen, checking the selling rates in the market, when Faraz entered the room.

Sitting down on a chair Faraz teased, "Kya hua hone wale saale sahab sab khairiyat se hai?"

Irritated by his comment, Umar retorted, "Kya chahte ho tum ki kal nikah na ho tumhara?"

Faraz taken aback said, "Maine kya bola hai jo aise bol raha Tu?"

Umar replied, "To kun bakwas kar raha hai tu?"

Faraz shot back, "Bhut hi bekar insan hai tu "

Without looking away from his laptop screen Umar said, "Sahi kaha lekin tum se kam hun."

Faraz shook his head and said "Itna achha bhala sakal aur personality hai mera,kaise bakwas kar raha hai Tu mere bare mein"

Umar dismissed his comment with a shake of his head and said, "Leave all this. Tell me, is everything ready for the wedding?"

Faraz grinned and said, "Yes, everything's done."

Umar nodded, "Alright then good."

Faraz said, "I'm heading home now."

Leaning back in his chair Umar replied, "Yeah, I'll leave soon too. I have to take Haleema shopping to pick up her dress for tomorrow."

Faraz smiled, "That's great, then."

Umar added, "Yeah, and since none of us will have much time until your walima, I've been ensuring everything is set so Siddiqui Sahab doesn't face any trouble."
