Bouquet and Chocolate

Author's POV

It's been five days since Abiha left Pakistan. Her grandparents were out with her staff for sight seeing.

Abiha was sipping coffee in Sheryaar's apartment while Sheryaar was talking with his fiance in video call.

His fiance was in Fiji for some family function and would return in two days. After talking for around an hour finally Sheryaar disconnected the call.

Relaxing backward in his sofa he gazed towards Abiha who was looking out of the balcony.

"What are you thinking about?", he asked standing beside her still keeping a decent distance.

"Life", she whispered still in deep thoughts.

"What happened in the airport biha?", asked Sheryaar in curiosity.

"Taimur confessed about his love", she said without any emotion while Sheryaar froze.

"That a good thing right?", he said in genuine happiness.

"I don't know", she uttered very quietly.

"What do you mean"

"I am so confuse, I want to be happy but the next second I feel like bawling my eyes out, one moment I want to run in his arm and the next moment I want to rip off his head for taking so long. What if he is confused? What if he regrets it later? I don't know what to do Sheryaar, I want to cry so badly", said Abiha in so much panic.

"Hey hey, calm down, you are just scared biha", he replied but Abiha just started sobbing silently.

"It's natural to be scared, I used to be so scared thinking that one day Nadiyyah will just realise that she is so much better than me, that maybe she doesn't need me but do you know the truth biha? she was just as much scared as I was thinking I would leave her, can you believe her?", scoffed Sheryaar.

"All you need to do is to have a brief conversation with Taimur, tell him what you are feeling. Trust me it will help", continued Sheryaar wiping her tears in the process.

"Will you make another coffee for me", asked Abiha quietly.

"Ofcourse " said Sheryaar happily.

It was 1 in the morning but sleep was far away from Abiha, 'should I call him?' she thought.

What if he is busy

What if he said that in the flow of the moment

No biha, Sheryaar said to talk to him

Removing all the negative thoughts she finally pressed the call button.

Ring

Ring

Rin..

"Biha", said Taimur picking on the third right. Suddenly Abiha felt as if someone put their hands in her mouth, no matter how much she wanted to reply back she couldn't.

(Italics Taimur, bold Abiha)

I know you are there biha

Taimur

Yes my love

The way he said 'my love' made Abiha forget everything, she left peace and unknowningly a smiled creeped in her face.
