The Hidden Heart

Chapter 2

Pervious Chapter:

"Amir...Amir" I called his name

"hm.. Yeah I had work but thought why not come, Hows auntie and uncle"

"They are fine, just not talking to me as usual"

"Why don't you just give up?" I raised my eyebrows at him and his repeated statement. I honestly think sometimes he just wants me to leave when he says this.

"Are you kidding me after All I did for you" Amir looked at me and gave me a faint smile. Rolling my eyes in return I grab my laptop and open some random document not wanting to give him attention. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amir grabbed his phone that was sitting on the table. Glancing over at him I rolled my eyes waiting for him to talk. After a couple min of waiting I rested my head on my palm and looked over at him till he realized that I was waiting. 

"Really" I huffed

He snapped his head towards me putting his phone down.

"Fine, I am sorry" coming closer to my face. I roll my eyes and look away

"MHM" I tried keeping a straight face but ended up laughing at his attempt of a puppy face. 

The time went flying by till it was time to leave. I had to grab a bus back to my campus and Amir was going to walk back home. 

I walked slowly taking time to look around the city lights which I enjoyed immensely. I didn't come to the city much and when I do I love to look around and admire the city life. Reaching the bus stop I grab my phone looking if Amir had texted me to ask If I had reached the bus or asking me to text him once I get home, but as usual no message. 

He wasn't like this before he was a caring and kind man. He use to ask me about my day, not go a day without making sure he asked how I was, what I did but now it was hard to even have him to ask me If I got home. 

I do enjoy seeing him, talking to him it was the highlight of my week, after all I fought for him. We connect well but at times his talks about business or work gets annoying. At first it use to be talks about getting our parents to agree now it always business. 

I have changed to no doubt but in terms that I can't care less about what others have to say about me. No one can and will understand my needs and wants only for Allah but thats it. My parents failed to understand what I want in life and at what time in life I want things. 

As the bus stopped infront of me I showed my student ID and sat behind the driver. As usual I was lost in thoughts on my way back to the empty campus at 9pm. 

Once arriving to campus I sit on the benches near the parking my mom would pick me up. I had started having a headache and over top of it all I was not looking forward going home. 

I am outside- Mama

My phone buzzes with Mamas message. I get up walking towards the car saying salam and silently sitting in the back. 

I maybe sit 2 min with silence till Mama starts her lectures. 

"Let me tell you something Ayah, You have caused me a lot of pain" Mama raised her voice

I look down getting ready to hear her for the next long 15 minutes. 

"You don't care for me at all, I am your mother who has raised you since you were a baby but you have not even cared enough to let me have a say in your life. You think you are so big now to make your decisons, Watch you will suffer, you have always caused me pain and misery. If I had any idea I would have to see this day, I would have aborted you the day I knew I was gonna have a daughter" She continued.
