EXTRA MILE FOR LOVE

6: He's a casanova?

Najma and Hammad exchanged pleasantries after he came into the room .

"Basma is not nice at all, She didn't tell me you're in town."

Hammad smiled, "I came back late in the evening yesterday actually. I can see Najma has started making new friends over here." He winked.

Najma laughed hysterical trying to hide her nervousness, She was so eager to get to know all about the guy she just met.

She knew Hammad would leave no stone unturned in giving her full details about that man, Hammad is just like a brother to her .

"Umm so what do you know about him?"

"Relax Najma, I should first ask you how do you know each other " He chuckled,

"We just met a few minutes ago." Najma narrated all that happened to him and he listened with kin interest. Najma put on this smile on her lips while talking about Nabil Mukhtar Maidawa without realizing it, He guessed she was charmed by his looks just like all other ladies.

"I know Nabil quite very well despite our age and personality difference, we get along well. I see you as my sister the same way Basma is to me. I'd never let any harm reach you while I've the capacity to avoid that. He asked me a few questions about you too, seems you two are already fond of each other." Hammad teased .

Najma chuckled, "Oh come on, you know it's not like that."

Hamad stood up, "It's time for Zuhur prayers now and I've to run some errands after that, so I'll talk to you later in the night when I'm back. You're sleeping over here right?"

"Yes she is." Basma quickly answered,

"He didn't ask you big mouth!" Najma rolled her eyes at Basma.

"It's fine Hammad , take your time and yes I'll be sleeping over here." Najma answered , Deep inside her she wanted to beg him to tell her all he knows right now. But she didn't want to sound desperate. That too for a stranger she met just some moment ago.

"Girl! I know curiosity is about to kill you, You wanted Hammad to spill the beans now right?" Basma nudged Najma's shoulder ,

"I'm hungry please, I'm not in for your drama. " Najma rolled her eyes.

"So you're already feeling like a big girl now? Well I don't blame you, it's not easy to get Kano's most eligible bachelor to fall for you."

By now Najma wanted to spank some sense into Basma , "Can you fulfill your promise already?" Najma whined.

"Okay fine , let's pray and head over to the kitchen."

"No miss, you're the only one that's going to head to the kitchen. I'm too exhausted as you can see."

"Yes I understand, you prefer to stay back and day dream about Kano's most eligible Bachelor" Basma laughed hysterical as she quickly left the room, knowing fully well Najma was at the verge of sacrificing her phone to hit her with it.

***************

Najma could no longer hide her anxiety, Nabil was still not back. " So Nabil usually stays out this late?"

"Relax girl, It's just 9:30pm. You suggested we watch a movie and now it seems your soul has left this room leaving your body. "

How could Najma explain herself? In her entire life, she has never being this desperate to know someone like she wants to know Nabil now. Her phone started ringing which brought her back from her deep thoughts.

"Oh God! What's wrong with me today? I totally forgot to call Abbakar back." Najma declared as she stared at the phone.

"Hmm Kano's most eligible bachelor is really doing a great job. Hours after meeting him you've already forgotten about poor Abbakar." Najma threw a very mean look at Basma as she pinned the phone to her left ear.
