His selfish love

5. College trip/ Job

Author's POV.

Amna hugged her mother tightly. "Be safe" her mother said caressing her head lovingly.

"Take care" Her both brothers Azim and Samaan hugged her from both sides kissing her head.

"Baba" she hugged her father taking his blessing.

"Mera baccha! Khayal rakhna" (my love take care of yourself )" he kissed his daughter's forehead. Last but not the least she walks toward her eldest brother shahmeer.

"Khayal rakhna apna... Sabki jaan basti hai tujhme.(Take care of yourself. Your the life of everyone)" He murmured kissing ,her head. And hugged her while praying for her safety. "And listen kahi...."

"Kahi akele mat jana. Ko,i kuch bhi de mat khana. Raat me room se mat nikalna. Aur her waqt apni friends ke sath rehna... Sab yad hai mujhe. (Don't go anywhere alone. Don't eat anything given by any strangers. Don't step out of the room at night. I've remember everything)"
Amna repeated before he started again. They all chuckled while Shahmeer lightly hit her head.

"Sirf yaad nahi rakhna... Amal bhi karna.( Don't only remember those things but also follow that)" he ordered strictly to which Amna nodded obediently.

Kissing last time her forehead he sends his heart peace Amna to on a trip where she will lose herself and hand over her heart to a man who will do anything to destroy Shahmeer's peace.

Shahmeer's POV

"I forgive you" these only three words of mine made her smile widely.

"Sach!" She asked in bewilderment. I nodded

"Sach" With that I turned around and left from there while I heard her friends surrounding her. before turning to other way I turn to her. Her friends were asking questions and something made her laugh.

I didn't know but I was staring at her as she was laughing wholeheartedly. I didn't want to keep any connection with her but didn't know why her sad face that day and her tears didn't let me sleep. She looks at me and I instantly walk away from her.

I came to the university today and did the first thing to search for her and give her her forgiveness which she was seeking from me and went to the extent of bending on her knee in front of me. I know I should forgive her that instant but I was disturbed at that time. I needed a job badly and her face makes me remember that because of her I was in this situation. My parents were not that wealthy. They only got me into this university because of my big dream. They had to sell their only property their big house to send me here. They were right now living in a small apartment with my three siblings and I had promised myself to give them all the happiness and luxury they deserve.

And right now I want a job for my expenses. Living here was not easy for a boy like me. I sighed as I decided to go to another interview after college.

She felt another strike of guilt hit her heart when Salman informed her about Shahmeer's situation. "Shahmeer has been searching job for the last three weeks but couldn't find a single job. You know for an Asian and student it is hard to get a job in the state of America. And it was his luck that he got the previous partime job because of the instant need for a waiter there" Salman continued.

"I...I need to help him" she said and her friends hit their heads into the closest wall.

"Not again humaira!! You had done enough to get his forgiveness now you want to help him. You heard he has already searched for a job for the last three weeks and he couldn't get what you will do?. Make him your driver" they mocked her.
