The Revenge Note

Chap 40 Old Acquaintance

Shehreyaar beta! Dadi Jaan called his name with half excitement and half shock.

Asalam-o-Alaikum Dadi Jaan! How are you? He asked pleasantly.

I am good, beta. How are you? And what are you doing here?

Dadi Jaan was excited to see him there. Her tone was enough to guess how happy she was when she saw Shehreyaar.

Our university wanted to send someone who can represent.. ahm ... them for a science project. My students were taking part in it so here I am. He made up a lie.

Dadi Jaan was asking questions to fill up her curiosity but Hania was just staring at him. There was something in his answer which didn't satisfy her.

Her gaze was traveling from his fair, almost pale white skin to his unfathomable, hazel eyes contrasted exceptionally with his light-toned face. His eyes were as deep and expressive, as you could get lost if you stared long enough.

His smile, which reached up to his eyes and wrinkled them when talking with Dadi Jaan she could see a hint of pain in his sparkling eyes, which disappeared as suddenly as it emerged.

He was speaking so fast, which perhaps revealed how much agony he concealed within himself.

Hanan caught her staring at him to which Hania just shifts her gaze towards the floor.

Both hearts beat at the same pace for each other.

Dadi Jaan you should rest a lil. It's not good for you to walk much. Hanan was saying to the Dadi Jaan but Hania could feel the two orbs peeping towards her.

Hania was continuously nudging Dadi Jaan to just go out from here but Dadi Jaan ignored it.

Because ignorance is bliss right now!

She wanted Hania to get married to Shehreyaar but she didn't know that her wish was listened to by Allah already.

Have you eaten anything? I know a great place here to eat. Hanan suggested with a soft grin.

Hania was about to decline his offer but Dadi Jaan said "YES" with the speed of a lightning bolt.

Hanan showed them the way whereas Hania was giving Dadi Jaan a side-eye. She was not happy to be with him because the emotions of the past were rushing back.

Love, Betrayal, Hate, Loneliness, Broken promises, and many more...

He settled them down in the food court and asked Hania to come with him as he didn't know what Dadi Jaan liked.

On the way to the counter to order Hania hauled and asked abruptly.

You know what I like?

Hanan was startled and confused by this sudden investigation. He blinked several times that Hania had to rephrase her question.

I mean you only asked me to come with you as you didn't know what Dadi Jaan liked. So... do you know what I like?

She put pressure on the word "Dadi Jaan".

Hanan knew what she was trying to do so he scratched his mustache and feigned like he was thinking in depth.

KFC chicken bucket and Waffle fries Chick-fil-a.

Hania was appalled as she was not expecting him to answer honestly because she knew he was trying to hide his identity from her. But he was Hanan he would do the opposite of whatever she thinks.
