FARMAN

Chapter 16: A surprising surprise.

I looked up as my heart skipped two beats to be precise.

Farouk: I don't really know when or how it happened but all I know is that (he paused) I can't stop thinking about you.

This can't be happening right now, please tell me it's a joke, someone please tell me I'm dreaming right now.

Farouk: ... But I don't want you to make a decision you'll regret, soooo take your time, I'll wait for your decision.

I couldn't say anything, I just kept staring at him like "are you drunk or something?" OMG WORK!! I'll have to see him every day maybe I should just quit koh? Or not go back at all. Ya Allah!

Farouk: I'll see you around... bye.

He left after flashing me a soft smile. Why? Whyyyyy? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

Iman: Maybe I should just ignore him for the rest of my life and stay indoor, but what if he comes over?... no worries I'll keep hiding until he leaves... or maybe just move to another country and change my identity, yess then my new name will be Maryam, yes- ahhhhhh

I screamed when fatee cut me off by snapping her fingers in front of my face.

I looked around and I didn't even know when I walked back into my room and sat down next to her.

Fatee: (Laughed) what is wrong with you?

Iman: Fatee (I said almost with teary eyes) He told me he... he... loves me. (I said as I palmed my face).

Fatee: (Still laughing) I know.

Iman: Huh?

Fatee: Yeah, Abdul told me just before you left.

Iman: I feel dead.

I said laying back on the bed staring at the ceiling.

Fatee: Just accept-

Iman: ugh!

I said covering my face with a pillow.

FAROUK'S POV

I can officially declare that thinking about her answer has become my new Hobby apart from thinking about her.

This morning I'm going back to London, one of the reasons I decided to tell iman last night.

The house is very quiet, both maama and yusra are not okay with me going back early but I have to

Farouk: Morning.

I said giving both maama and yusra, side hugs.

Yusra: Do you really have to leave today, maama is sad, she didn't utter a word this morning.

I looked over to her who was stirring something on the cooker, I went over there and wrapped my hands around her.

Farouk: Maama

Maama: Farouk you'll hurt yourself let me go.

Farouk: No.

Maama: Farouk.

She said in a stern tone, which made me move back that instant.

Farouk: Maama (I said sitting on the stool) I'm leaving today fah, won't you talk to me?

Maama: You can go.

Farouk: Really? Okay fine I won't go again, I'll stay at home and do nothing forever and ever.

She just glared at me. Which actually made me chuckle.

Before I said anything again I got a call from Robert.
