CHAPTER #22

I was damn tired after today's day at office. I had to attend 4 meetings in a day continuously and upon that I was all alone at home too with the maids idrees had hired for different works until he came back from office at night 8:30pm.
He had been busy since a few days as his business is flourishing.
I told him in the morning that we have to go to Sara's place for dinner. He was in such a hurry that I doubted he even would have heard a single word I said to him so I messaged him as well.

Idrees: that friend who came with you for dinner at restaurant?

Me: yeah, be here as early as you can

Idrees left my message on seen. Probably he is busy.
I started getting ready. I had a beautiful black gown that I kept for special events and this event was perfect for me to adore myself in this gown.
Though I took bath in the morning, I had another body bath just to ensure that I don't smell and poison the party.
After having the bath, I wore the black gown and brought out its shape by tightening its bold golden belt around my waist. The gown had a net layer on which the flowers design was beautifully noticeable.
I tied my hair into a scrunchie bun and left two strands of my hair each on both the sides of my temples.

I was doing a smokey brown makeup with light pink blush on my nose and cheeks. I was almost done with my makeup when the door of the room opened. I turned to see that idrees had returned. He loosened his tie and relaxed on the sofa.

"get ready fast, we have to leave" I rushed him.
The last touch of the makeup was my rose pink lipstick that I was applying when I felt hands on my waist. The buzzes rushed all through my body and I stiffened. Why was I reacting like this? He leaned enough to have his chin above my shoulder and looked in the mirror with an alluring smile and again looked at me.

"you look beautiful" he said in a husky tone which made adrenaline rush through my blood.

"thank you" I gulped and said

"wear this" he produced out a golden cloth and placed it on my hand. It was a chiffon scarf that was in my wardrobe and never knew myself that it was there "wear your hijab"

I looked at him with a questioning look "you want me to wear what?"

He rotated me to make me face him. Our eyes were buried into each others stare. His eyes shone and his jawline looked defined as ever. He cupped my cheeks and came nearer to me "hijab" he said "a thing that will guard your beauty"

"I never wore it" I said honestly with a pinch of irritation in my voice yet reacting to his closeness
He took the scarf from my hand and spread it on my head. Very slowly and with full concentration, he made the layers of my hijab and put the ball pins wherever necessary. "now look" he turned me towards to mirror and I was shocked to see how I was looking.
I never imagined I would look so different with hijab on

"it's comfortable right?"

"yeah it is, thank you anyways, now get ready yourself so that we can leave" I didn't even try to look at him because his gaze was melting me down every second.

°°°°
After a quiet ride in the car with idrees which I felt extremely awkward, we were finally at Sara's house. It was beautifully decorated by flickering lights of yellow and red combination. I rang the bell.

"johara" she opened the gate immediately and took me into a hug. It looked as if she was standing at the gate for a long time just to welcome us. "I was waiting for you" she looked at idrees and smirked but that smirk disappeared off her face as soon as she realized that idrees was doing something on his phone.
"come inside" she caught my hand and dragged me in.
There were a lot of people in the lawn, all of them talking to each other.

"hi" safi came and joined us. I looked at him with cold eyes and he did the same.

"this party is supposed to be general, isn't it?" he asked sara in a thick voice

"specially meant for our dear johara but overall, yeah its general"

"why specially for her?"

"just like this" I could feel sara getting nervous "you don't mind me calling safi to this party as well? Because -"

"why would she?" safi cut her off "she would love to have me around, won't you?" he smirked devilishly

"I ask you to shut up" I snapped at him

Sara seemed astounded at how we were behaving with each other. "are you guys ok?"

"doesn't matter anymore" I rolled my eyes

"someone broke up but not me" must look at that devilish smirk again

"assalamualaikum people" I didn't realize idrees came. I so wish he hadn't listen anything though I care not a bit. I do conclude that idrees may have felt embarrassed as no one replied to his salam.

"walaikumassalam" I replied to him loud enough for sara and safi to hear. I wanted to show safi that I could be lot better with someone else.

"you?" safi gasped "what are you doing here?"
Sara and I were mystified. We exchanged our looks as if to question 'what's going on?'
Idrees looked at him and twitched his eyebrows which clearly showed he is uninterested.
"I was bound to return" he looked at me and slid his hand in mine sending buzzes all through my body again. I just looked down so that no one sees my struggle of stopping myself from blushing. "I am quite amazed to see you here. How come you leave all of that fun in america and come here?" he stressed the word 'that'.

What fun are you talking about idrees? How do you both know each other?

Something was certainly wrong!

Did you see? 😱 Idrees and safi know each other already! Let's see what surprises the next chapter is bringing up for you. Till then, stay safe and happy reading my lovely people.
Jazakallah ✨
