SHATTERED HEARTS

Ch.33.The new unexpected friends...!

Dedicated to Zarahfarooq and the Shaykh brothers :) May Allah SWT bless you guys :)

Monday mornings are very much despised by working folks in Mumbai.It marks the beginning of the busy scheduled week and most importantly it marks the end of the Sweet Sunday, which is the most awaited day of the week!

But a Monday morning becomes even more worse if you hardly get any sleep the previous night and especially if your Sunday had unfortunately turned out to be the worst day of the week. This was how Nawal Bakhtiyar welcomed her Monday morning!

The unfortunate meeting with Mohsin, the sweet encounter with Arhaan, the inevitable argument with her father followed by a sleepless night made her day an unforgettable one ( not in a good way)!

Putting aside all those memories Nawal continued to prepare for the day . Fortunately her father had left early today and she didn't have to face him.
It was a good thing because Nawal wasn't ready to talk to him yet. As for Danish, he had been suddenly overtaken by a brotherly love attack and had been acting extremely over protective around Nawal.He even offered to make breakfast but Nawal refused and assured him that she was quite okay.
Despite her protests , Danish helped her in the chores and left the house along with her instead of going with his friends as usual.
And more shocking to Nawal was that her baby brother asked her to just give him a ring if by any chance Mohsin tries to come in her way so that Dany and his friends could teach him a lesson for life! One good thing that came out of the 'Unfortunate Mohsin encounter' was that it strengthened the bond between Nawal and her brother! Well, it has been rightly said" Everything happens for a reason!"

"Take care sissy, just give me a ring if you need anything", Danish offered as he gave his sister a quick hug and got down from the bus.

Nawal nodded and waved him good bye as she continued her journey on the bus. She kept doing dhikr silently as the journey proceeded. Soon her destination arrived and she got off the bus making her way towards the school gates.

Nawal worked as a teacher for the primary section and even though she was against the idea of working Nawal had come to love her job since it helped to get her mind off things.

The day started as usual and Nawal got busy with the classes completely forgetting her miseries for some time. At 11:00 when the bell rang signalling the break Nawal made her way to the staff room taking small steps as she was too tired to walk. She was exhausted early today due to lack of rest. Plus there was too much on her mind.

She made a mental note to cancel all the private tutions in the evening as sleep was something she very much needed today. Nawal entered the staff room and took her seat next to Geeta, her colleague and friend at work.

"Someone looks too tired this bright morning", Geeta commented smiling at her friend's tired petite form.

"I hardly had any sleep at night", Nawal replied nonchalantly as she rummaged through her files.

"The meeting seems to have had quite a effect on your sleep dear", Geeta teased making her friend laugh slightly.

"Ofcourse geeti, the meeting was an unforgettable one", Nawal replied without looking at her friend as she wrote something in her diary.

Geeta turned in her seat her expression full of surprise.

"Tell me everything? How was he? How long did you guys talk? And most importantly what did you guys talk about? Did he drop you back home?" Geeta blurted hastily.
