Traces of love

Chapter 6

Ayra's Pov:

I came back to my house and went straight to my room. I'm feeling really guilty because of the way I reacted. It was just a prank, I shouldn't have reacted like that. Anyways, I got into my blankets and took my book from the side table. It's "verity", that I was reading earlier. I was so engrossed in reading that I didn't notice the knock on the door.
Then my phone started ringing, I saw the caller id, it was my mom. I attended the call and mom asked me to open the door.
I got up from my bed and opened the door. I was shocked to see the person standing there.

Sarim's pov:
I went to Ayra's house and rang the doorbell. Their house help came to open the door.

" Assalamualaikum! Ayra ha Ghar pe?" I asked her
" G aa Jain. Ayra beti apnay room me Hain" she replied.

I entered the house and say Ayra's mom sitting in the lawn. I went towards her.

"Assalamualaikum aunty! I came to meet Ayra" I told her.
"Walaikum asslam beta sorry, I didn't recognize you. Who are you? She asked looking at me confused.
" I'm your neighbor, actually Ayra is my sister's friend and now my friend too. I need to talk to her that's why I came" I told her.
" Oh so you're Sara's son. Ayra boht baat karti ha aap logon k baray me. Actually she doesn't have friends in this society and now she's friends with you and your sisters to Sara din bas yehi baat karti rehti ha" she told me.
She is a sweet lady.
" Ao me apko uskay room tak lay jati Hun"

We went toward her room. Her room was locked. Aunty knocked the door twice but she didn't open it.

" Pata nhi Kya Karti ha ye larki zaroor koi kitaab perh Rahi ho ge" aunty said annoyed as if it's a routine.

She called on Ayra's phone and asked her to open the door.
" Beta aap betho me apkay kye snacks bhejti Hun" she told me went to the kitchen.
Ayra opened the door and her expressions were worth watching. She was so shocked to see me.
" Tum yahan kya kar rahay ho" she asked but her tone was normal. She wasn't looking angry at all.
" Ander to anay do btata hun"
I entered in her room and her room is really aesthetic. I must say she has a really good taste.
" Your room is beautiful" I complimented.
" Now tell me why are you here" she asked again.
" Actually I came to apologize. I'm sorry, it was just a prank. I didn't know k Tum waqai dar jao ge" I apologized sincerely and gave her chocolates.

Ayra's pov:

Sarim apologized to me and gave me chocolates. It was such a sweet gesture.
" I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have overreacted" I said.
" So, we're good now? Right?" He asked.
"Yes" I said and gave a genuine smile to him.

We sat on the couch and mom brought the snacks for us. We ate the snacks and talked about everything and anything. He went back after an hour.

Then I went downstairs, mom was in the kitchen. I hugged her from behind.

"Kya baat ha aaj to ayra ko boht Pyar aa Raha ha " she said smiling.
" Because I'm happy" I said.
" Or waja Kya ha? " She asked
" Sarim apologized and gave me chocolates that's why" I told her
" Why did he apologize? Or Tum logon ke dosti hui kab thi Jo larai bhi ho Gai or sorry bhi kar dia usnay" mom asked.
I told her the whole story and mom was surprised because I've never been friends with boys. I've a very few friends that too girls. Sarim is my only guy friend. And today when we talked, I felt really good. We talked so freely as if we're friends for a very long time.
