Forever Yours

Chapter 19

3rd June, 2022

As Saim parked his car, he groaned looking at his house. It was still the same day Naman had arrived but he already found himself irritated. He didn't leave a chance to be with Yusra or talk to her, reminiscing their childhood days while he sat at the table, having his lunch gazing at the two, Yusra agreeing to whatever he would say. Naman even tried bringing him into the conversation, but then he would only gaze at Yusra the whole time while talking that made him leave. He didn't want to stay home looking at him talk to Yusra freely while he wasn't allowed near her.

Saim knew by now Naman would have come to know about her further life too, the reason behind their marriage and the divorce, which he was doubtful about. He looked at the time, knowing everyone would have had their dinner by now, purposely being out till such a time since he didn't want to go through that feeling again.

He wouldn't deny that his heart burned when he saw Yusra smile or laugh because of Naman. Sounds stupid, but he wanted to be the reason behind her smile, laugh, blush and everything related to her.

He walked inside to only find Naman and Hasham walking out with Saad while Yusra following behind them.

"Hey bro, Assalamualaikum." Naman greeted making him give a smile. Replying he turned to Hasham asking him a few things before he was called by Naman. Putting a hand around his shoulder, he made them walk away from them, making him curious.

"Yusra told me about everything," Naman said and Saim glanced up at Yusra through his shoulder with a raised brow confirming it to only have her shake her head. A satisfied smirk appeared on his face before he looked at Naman nodding his head, "Thanks for looking out for her." Naman said patting his shoulder before walking away to Hasham.

They said their bye to Hasham and Naman, who informed about being there tomorrow making Saim to roll his eyes. He glanced around to find Yusra no where in sight, when he found Saad pat his shoulder taking him by surprise.

"You-" Before he could speak up, Saad bet him up, "No," He shook his head making Saim to sigh, "I haven't forgiven you for your decision which is the most stupid one you have ever come up with, but," Saad cleared walking inside with Saim who listened carefully to his brother, "Not talking to you made my days worse and that's the only reason I am having this talk with you; for me and not for you." Saad said making Saim to chuckle at his reason. He understood where he was coming from because it was the first time they had gone a week without talking and he felt miserable himself.

"And let me advise you as your elder brother," Saad said turning Saim to face him completely. In other situations he would have argued back on the fact of him being his elder brother but looking at the situation he kept quiet, "Do think about your decision carefully. You wouldn't want to lose Your precious being because of Your stupidity." Saad stated stressing onto the words your. Patting his shoulder he walked out while Saim stood in between the path, thinking about his brother's advice.

"Saim?" He heard his mother's voice, startling him. He noticed her walk towards him with a smile on her face, making him suspicious. He couldn't believe that his brother and mother; who were giving him cold shoulders till today were now talking to him.

"Assalamualaikum." He greeted her, shaking his thoughts walking towards her. Replying to him, they both walked towards the dinning area, Saim going to freshen up while Sara into the kitchen.

"Yusra, serve food to Saim and go to bed early. We have a lot of things at hand tomorrow." Sara spoke hiding the smile looking at the panic on Yusra's face, as she was plating out food probably for the same person as mention. Nodding her head, Yusra wished her good night before heaving a deep breath.
