Chashmish

Chapter 5|Soulmates

It had been a month since Javaria found out she wasn't "perfect enough" and she had changed drastically, her "diet" that she was on consisted of no food and soon her bones were showing and she was incredibly weak. My aunt finally realized her mistake and apologized to her and promised never to say mean comments again, and finally she started eating again.

She wasn't fat you could still see her bones but there was some meat on her. We were all celebrating because Javaria had accomplished two things, one she had graduated alhumdililah and second was that she was finally engaged!

Her soon-to-be husband Aabid was exactly what Javaria wanted in a husband, and Javaria was exactly what he wanted in a wife. It was a match made in heaven.

I smiled as I took my journal out and started writing with my favorite purple pen;

Javaria jarahe hai shadi karne, bas meh hi ragai. Mere liye kon hai? Kuch patha nahi. Abhi woh kya kara hoga?

I closed my journal and dreamily looked to the sky wondering what my soulmate was doing.

ASAD QURASHI POV

I sighed and clicked away from my mom's message on WhatsApp. She was always bothering me with pictures of jobs, or girls. She need's to understand that I don't want to get married. I looked outside my private jet at the familiar Pakistan that I visited ever so often.

I had a match here today against Lahore and I was more then ready to kick there butts. I smirked as I stared at my lucky bat which was handed to me then none other then Shahid Afridi himself. He was Pakistan's biggest cricket player and my biggest mentor.

I had gone to a match when I was 14 and was lucky enough to meet the legend himself who handed me his bat and said "Do what you want to do." And ever since then I knew I wanted to become a cricket player.

My mom wasn't happy about it though and said that cricket's player earned nothing (they actually earn 3.2 million which is 14 lakh) and that no girl would want to marry me. I didn't dare tell her that though because I'm terrified of her, and I didn't really want to get married.

Ever since Sarah my heart has belonged to no one else. "Good morning Mr. Qureshi we will be landing soon." The flight attendant said smiling at me, I nodded and looked back outside.

We landed and I hopped out and went into my Limo, when we arrived at the stadium I smiled at all the girls waiting in line to see me and possibly other cricket players.

But mostly me.

"Mr. Qureshi the gate which you need to enter from is too crowded you will have to go through the crowd to the other door." My bodyguard Hades whispered to me, I nodded and fixed my cap making sure no one see's me.

I started slowly walking and saw the door I was going too, I breathed a sigh of relief and thanked ALLAH that I made it through without being noticed.

I was about to open the door when I suddenly got yanked back, I turned around and angrily said "What the hell is your problem?" I stopped and stared at the girl who was no older then 18.

She was mad for some reason "Me? what the hell is your problem you bumped into me and you didn't apologize!" Her voice sounded like velvet to my ears and before I knew It I was openly checking her out.

She fixed the dupatta on her head and said "Oy, my eyes are here." I looked up at her big brown eyes and smirked.

"Well?" She said crossing her arms, I opened my mouth to say something before Hades my bodyguard touched her shoulder and pulled her back. For some reason I didn't like that and wanted to punch Hades for touching her but stopped myself.

Clearly this girl didn't know who I was. "Hey!" she yelled and moved Hades hand from her shoulder glaring at him. Hades stood next to me glaring at the girl challenging her to say something.

Suddenly, her eyes widened and her mouth fell open in shock. Did she figure out who I was? A new girl came looking about the same age as her "Rayyana, what are you doing?"

Rayyana

Her name suited her, it felt good coming out of my mouth. I shook my head and thought astagfiruallah

The girl uh I mean Rayyana pointed to me and said "This person bumped into me and didn't say sorry." The girl glared at Rayyana and turned to me smiling nervously while looking at Hades. "I'm so sorry, my friend can get a little crazy someti-"

The girl stopped and her mouth fell open in shock. I sighed and understood she knew who I was. "Your...." She started saying before trailing off. "Rabia?" Rayyana asked her shaking her. The girl Rabia stood there not knowing what to say.

I looked to my watch and realized that I was getting late and with a quick look back at Rayyana I motioned to Hades to follow me.

"Mr. Qurashi where were you?" My coach said sweat forming on his brow, I took my hat off and fixed my hair "Sorry." I mumbled and quickly change.

I grabbed my helmet and was about to put it on before suddenly the name "Rayyana" popped up in my head. I felt myself smiling before putting my helmet on.

I hope I see her again.

Urdu translation-

Javaria jarahe hai shadi karne, bas meh hi ragai. Mere liye kon hai? Kuch patha nahi. Abhi woh kya kara hoga?- Javaria is going to get married, I'm the only one that's left. Who's out there for me? I don't know. I wonder what is he doing right now?

Astagfiruallah- asking forgiveness from god

Alhumdulillah-praise to god

Sorry I forgot the translation!
