Soul Sisters

13. Chaos Everywhere

Pov- Meerab Aly

"What? How can you say you are familiar to her?" Questioned Farheen.

"Can't you stay out of it, witch!" Said the man, controlling the urge to yell at Farheen. It seems there's a major problem between them.

"Do you both know each other?" I decided to inquire rather seeing the drama.

"Huh!" Farheen scoffed before saying, "We're kind of siblings, but we don't accept it though."

"I wish us being siblings is just a joke, I'm waiting for that day when dad would say this is all a prank." Said Adnan rolling his eyes.

"Kind of siblings? What kind of kind is this?" I was never as confused as this before.

"She's my step sister unfortunately." Adnan quickly said tired of being questioned further. And just then Farah and Meerab entered unable to digest what they heard just now.

"Hello, Mr Adnan, How are you?" Farah asked, "Though I know no one could be fine having a sister like Farheen around." Farah completed with a sarcastic smile.

"Hello. Oh! You are absolutely right." Adnan chuckled at Farheen who was fuming with anger.

"What's happening, guys? How do you know him?" I finally spoke unable understand anything.

"Meerab, He's the one i was talking about on the call, One of our new business partners."

"Oh! I get it. I'm sorry Mr, It was actually very confusing."

"It's Alright. Miss....?"

"Meerab Aly"

"Nice name, Ms Meerab."

"Huh! Same to you." I replied awkwardly, not sure how to react to the compliment.

"Meerab look after the meeting." Meerab said and left the cabin with Farah and Farheen.

"Please, Have a seat." I gestured him to sit then quickly realised the mess i created around. "I'm Sorry for this". I pointed my hands across the room.

"No," He shaked his head slightly smiling, "I'm used to this."

"You mean, You are messy too." I asked him surprised, because he looks so tidy and organised.

"No" He again shakes his head laughing. "I'm used to see you being messy."

"Correct me if i am wrong, but this is our first meeting, right?

"No" He shakes his head again, serious this time. "I actually saw you last night near the highway. I was passing by and I saw your halted car and you trying to fix it. As soon as I approached you to help, your friend had become your knight in shining armour, So I just returned back."

"Oh! So, It was you."

"And your ring, it's with me."

"Ring? Which one?"

"You had left your ring behind. Remember your bag fell?"

"Oh! Yes, Yes. Thank you so much, that ring was really special to me."

"It's special to me too now."

"Hmm?" I asked him confused.

"No" For the nth time now, He shaked his head again, smiling this time. "I mean, It's special for you, so... Special for everyone. Haha..."

Should I laugh on this? It Didn't seem to be a joke, though I just smiled nodding.
The meeting went well; me briefly studying his files and he explaining the deal, occassionally smiling in between without any reason. I looked at him and wondered, He must have inhaled a smiling gas, cause no person in this world would smile while calculating the statistics of such an important deal. He took glances of mine every two minutes and lowered his head, Don't know why. He was some kind of a psychopath for sure. At last, the meeting was over, I waved him a good bye and headed towards Meerab's cabin.

I'm feeling really good listening to music during these stressful days and thus I put my airpods. The best thing about it is, no one could see it through hijab. Flora thought I was going mad when she  saw me and assumed I was talking to myself though i was talking to Meerab. All thanks to my airpods.

I stopped suddenly when I saw Adnan in the middle of the hall way sitting on his knees with a ring in his hands, and on the other hand my favourite song started playing,

Meri nazar ka safar tujhpe hi aake ruke,

The moment he looked at me, he raised his hand to show me the ring and I identified it as mine, the one Meerab gifted to me. Oh! He is returning the ring to me.

Kehne ko baaki hai kya? Kehna tha jo keh chuke...

I walked ahead and stood infront of him, smiling to the song and my eyes fixed on him.

Meri nigahen hai teri nigahon pe, tujhe khabar kya bekhabar,

He started talking something, may be about how he found the ring. I decided to just smile and nod my head after all he always talks nuisance. Mr Psychopath. After few seconds he smiled again and forwarded his hand to give the ring. But I realised my hands were full of files, At last he gestured to give him my hand, not a bad idea though.

Jis din tujhko na dekhu, pagal pagal phirti hu...

He took hold of my hand and pushed the ring to my finger. 
I uttered a "Thank you" smiling.

Kaun tujhe yu pyaar karega, Jaise mai karti hu.....
