Author: Ayaana.... Ayaana... Ayaana... So we finally meet yeah.

Ayaana: yeah, we're here. But why are you being so informal? I mean, I don't know you. And why are behaving like you already know me from somewhere whereas I can't remember. I feel like I know you but I can't place it, like we have an old connection or so.   
        *** looking all serious trying to think

Author: in a very low voice.... Ou yeah I made you, duhh....

Ayaana: you said something?

Author: Nah, nothing...you'll get to understand soon. Don't worry.

And how's your boyfriend? **smirking in evil language***

Ayaana: and why is everyone asking of that idiot recently now????

Author: he's an idiot??? Thought you love him? Ouu ouu maybe that's your love language.. **smirking more...

Ayaana: he's!!! ... Love language my foot! Both him and the stupid love language would forever rot in the deepest part of hell specially made for them.......***burning and fuming with rage

Author: woahhh! Calm down or you'll get wrinkles....*** offers water Instead of chai to her

Ayaana: calm down??? You said that?? After he broke my heart. Brought out the pieces and smashed it like meant nothing to him, I mean absolutely nothing. And you tell me to calm down? You must be joking! I bet if you were in my shoes, you'll do more than this!

Author: impossible, I make people to go through that. Can't be in that position.... **** adjusts the cross leg position and raises head high, looking through her eyes...

Ayaana: what do you.mean?

Author: ahh nothing... Now what did he do? Take a deep breath and tell me how everything happened... ***sips chai...

Ayaana: **takes deep breaths***

It started before I turned 20, few months to. I saw him at a plaza where I went to see my friend learning fashion designing. I was a 'no love yet' person before I met him. He also came to see someone. On my way home, while waiting by the roadside to hail a tricycle, a car parked feet away from where I stood, then he came down and wanted to engage me in a conversation, but I was beyond tired plus I'm somebody that can't just start rambling to a stranger so I just said hi and kept quiet

And finally, a tricycle came, without wasting anymore time, I hopped in and told him to move. Then guess what, the tricycle refused to start. I mean, could that have gotten any Worse?? Nah
I kept trying to start it but it was futile. Maybe God wants me to listen to this guy here....I thought
After asking what he might want from me, he decided that wasn't the perfect place to say it plus he's in a hurry too, so he decided to just hand me his card pleading to me to reach out to him as soon as I can. He even offered to take me home, but I declined and almost immediately the driver tried to start the tricycle, it roared back to life.

After much deliberations, I called him. From casual friends, to friends, to friends-friends, to family friends, till we were in a relationship with each other, yeah he got to the point of being my boyfriend.

But now it's all gone!. He cheated on me! He didn't even tell me, nor apologized nor was he remorseful.

But well, such is life...

Author: I'm so sorry about that. But I'm sure he probably couldn't handle you that's why he went for something cheaper and of lower standards

***we both laugh****

Ayaana: yeah I guess so. He's past now. He's moved on, I should too

Author: what do you mean by that, if I may ask?... **wiggles eyebrows**

Ayaana: nothing, trust me. Moving on meaning I should forget him too, isn't it?

Author: oh okayyy then. But are you planning on finding love again?

Ayaana: **looking confused as hell**  I don't get you..

Author: are you planning on falling in love again? Soon?? Or no love anymore??

Ayaana: hell no! I don't want to, not after how this ended. I can't take another one.  I just want to get a job now and be stable, work hard for myself and Ummah. Open my own restaurant someday in Shaa Allah. And do things based on my wants! That's all

Author: you won't get married??

Ayaana: of course I would, but then I'll be ready, to get married not to be someone's side chick to be heartbroken again. And in Shaa Allah, Allah would help me...

Author: ohh okayyy.. May Allah spare our lives till then

Ayaana: Ameen

Author: but what if love comes knocking? Would you open the doors to your heart again?

Ayaana: silence.....

Author: I mean those accidental love, unannounced, love at first sight. What would you do?....

Ayaana: I still don't know. But I'm surely not going to welcome it. Not yet, I need time to myself, to heal and to grow..

Author: **smirks*** okay then, let's see ..
         
     **mumbles** get ready to be swept off my dear Ayaana.....****

Thank you so much for honoring my invitation Ayaana! I hope you'll come again when I need you.

Ayaana: of course! Thank you for having me here too and by the way, this Chai tastes heavenly. I need the recipe. I'm a big fan of it!

Author: ah no worries, I'll write down the recipe for you chef! But you'll pay...

  ***they both smile****
