The Prophetic Dreamer

Chapter 31: I love you

That day was bad. Harim was crying it was hard to act all fine.
"What does she think of herself!?" She said wiping the tears off. She was on her way out when she bumped into Talha. He immediately held her from falling.
"Careful! I was coming for you. Where were you?"

She looked up with puppy eyes filled with tears which made the boy stunned.

"Wh-what? Are you crying?"he asked.

She nodded and was about to hug him when she stopped. She was reminded about the people and religious beliefs in that one second. Talha knew what happened. Without arguing he just patted her shoulders.

"You can cry." He said looking straight.

She then covered her face with hands and started whining. Talha was staring around and patting his girl slowly.

I really want to hug her.

He looked down at her.

"Harim?"

She wasn't responding.

He then stepped forward but stopped.

I hate people.

He took her all the way to a place hidden by huge trees. He then pulled her and clutched her.

"Tal-Talha let go." She was mumbling.

"It's ok. It's ok." He said

For a minute she was trying to get out of his arms but then the warmth removed the fears and weight. She sighed and hugged him back.

"Now tell me what happened?"

"I think Anum likes you."

"Did she said something to you!" He raged stepping back.

"No!" The girl jolted and hugged him back.

The boys was on seventh heaven. He was smiling in himself.

The day passed like this. Zain was on his way home. He stopped at the signal when his sight caught something fantastic! He saw Hania at the bus stop. Without thinking he drove to her. He walked to her with his cycle.
"Hania?"

She turned back at the voice and saw Zain standing.

She raised her eyebrows in astound.

"Zain?" She uttered.

He then walked to her. Both of them were gazing at each other.

He raised his eyebrows with a smile. She looked away.

"What are you doing here?"

"Nothing I was going to my aunt's house."

"Oh I see."

"You are coming from college." She said smiling in pain and grieve which was visible to Zain too.

"Y-yes."

"I see." She then stepped forward to get in the bus but Zain held her wrist.

"Ah wait!"

She looked at him.

"Should I drop you."

"No thank you."

"Wait! Please."

She turned back with tears and removed his hand off her wrist.

"Im sorry." And get in the bus.

He sighed and looked down in grieve.
