Tangled in Love

Chapter 6: Accepted or Invited.

Mayan's baked fresh cookies and a letter at my door step. It mean she has recognised me but if she had then why didn't she mentioned my name.
I ate all the fresh cookies with a cup of black coffee and still wondering how would I get in her house.

The afternoon passed with the thoughts of Mayan & doing my chores. It was 5:00pm, I got ready for evening jog putting headphones on my ear and played the playlist on my iPod. As I stepped outside the door I saw that Mayan's uncle & mother arrived in the car, he parked the car and mayan's mom came out of the car with shopping bags which seemed quite heavy, so I thought to give her a hand;

" Ma'am let me help you with these heavy stuff! "

I requested, she smiled and said;

" No, son it's fine with me. "

" When you have said me then let me help you with it. "

I gently tried to take the grocery things from her & she handed over to me and pressed the door bell , I heard someone came running towards the door & unlocked, it was Marwa on the door. She gave a sweet smile to me and her mom with welcoming us by saying;

" Welcome, welcome! "

I could feel the tease in her words as if she knew what was in that letter, mayan's uncle came in and closed the door behind him, he looked quite grumpy. Before he could say something I kept the bags on a table wondering were is Mayan, I wish I could at least get a glimpse of her but looking at her uncles attitude it didn't seemed possible so I said;

" Okay! Ma'am, I have to go for my evening jog, thanks again for inviting me inside your house. "

As I turned to walk away, mayan's uncle called out;

" Listen young fellow, what's your name ? "

I replied ;

" Sir, it's Omair Al Qasim. "

" As far as I know you are our closest neighbour than why in a hurry, sit here let's have some tea, let me tell you one thing my sister makes the best tea and my niece makes the most delicious choco chip cookies in town. "

He chuckled and winked at me offering me to be seated next to him. Mayan's mother went upstairs and Marwa took the groceries in kitchen. I was sitting with my back for stairs but there was a large mirror in front wall & it showed people who came or went from stairs. I was thinking that when Mayan would come through those stairs that her uncle introduced himself by saying;

" I am Saleh Mansoor & em a cardiologist, I work in a government hospital here. I have never seen you here before in neighbour when you moved here? "

" Well, I recently moved here in the month of January. "

I explained.

" Okay, so what do you do for living? "

Here we go a question who's answer might kick my butt out of this couch or should I say house but em glad that Marwa came with the announcement of tea is ready, come to the dinning area for tea and cookies. Mr. Saleh stood up and said me come along gentle man. I walked behind but my steps freeze as I saw Mayan was coming down from the stairs carefully, she was wearing a light pink shirt and white floral midi skirt with pink floral scarf on head, she looked like a beautiful pink flower but she was looking down maybe cause of her foot.

" Mayan! How are you feeling now my child! & look here we have a guest from neighbours, he's Omair al Qasim. he lives right next to us! "
