HUM TUM

the invitation

Neha

One moment I was happy by Adam's sudden confession and the other moment I was angry at sarim for ruining such a perfect moment of my life. Sarim tried to touch my forehead to check if it was fine but Adam stopped  him midway by grabbing his wrist. Last time when Adam grabbed sarim's wrist was to protect me from him when he was trying to misbehave with me but me and Adam were the ones who got scolded and the reason was this clock personified guy standing here. Sarim threw his arm away in embarrassment and Adam's eyes were fixed on his in anger. Seems like he was as angry as me . "I..I am fine sarim" I looked at sarim in a blank expression.  He smiled back at me.  "Well, I think you can't sit on a bike " he pointed at his car
"You should come with me I'll drop you  home and maybe we can have a nice chit-chat about what I wanted to tell you" he looked at me and then looked at Adam for his expression. I was so damn angry on this man for still thinking that he is worth talking to me. But I still managed to put a smile on. A fake one. "No, thank-you I think my fiance is here so we will manage it" I looked at Adam. And his proud expressions did something in my heart. My eyes landed on the sad-faced sarim "and about the other question, whatever you want to talk about , now's the time. I would like you to talk to me in front of my fiance because there's no privacy between us" i said to sarim and his expressions turned into anger. Like he has a right to show his anger at me. What the hell  was this man thinking of himself? "I can't talk about it in front of this jealous man, and this is about my feeling Neha it's not a joke" this time he screamed louder "don't you get it?!!" Adam stood up and grabbed sarim by his collar. My heart started beating faster . "Guys please..please stop" i said as i stood  up and pain standing up with me too. Adam  left sarim's collar and held my hand as I was about to fall and he looked at me in anger his eyes telling to sit down and i know he was saying it because he knew i was in pain. But I didn't want any fight not atleast now when we've missed university. "Sarim please if you're here to talk about any second chance or bla bla bla you better back off because the man standing besides me--" I pointed at Adam "he's the one I am with. And no matter what I am not going to change my decision about it so i suggest you better leave." I looked at Adam who was already looking at me. Sarim's expressions turned sad and for a second I didn't feel bad at all because I am not the one getting fooled this time.  "Adam I think I am fine and i can sit on the bike now" I walked towards the bike my leg so much in pain but I tried not showing it off as I already said it in front of sarim and now there was no going back for our self respect's sake. Adam sat on a bike and offered his hand to me he helped me sitting and i asked Adam to move but he looked back at sarim and said "by the way sarim, out engagement is too soon and you--" he looked at me with a smirk on this face "you're invited..we would love it you come" i buried my face in his shoulder to hide my laugh because i think it was too rude to laugh on someone's insult .
"Yes qutub uncle told it to my father.. and you know what? He called qutub uncle because you guys didn't go to University today and Neha you" i looked at sarim wearing a horrible expression on my face "forgot you had a viva today?" Sarim laughed and sat on his car and a second after his car moved leaving the both of us in silence.
"Adam"
"It's okay, don't worry, I am here I'll handle it, okay?"
"Okay"
