    Zara'u POV

The driver was kind he didn't ask questions rather he tells me that he has known Sufyan for close to four years now he usually get send to deliver stuff inter state that he is kind and generous.

We arrived much earlier than expected so I texted Sufyan because I know when I get home I won't have time to call him.

The driver drop me at home I thank him before I enter our house with a Salam, Saliha who is in the kitchen shout my name running towards me and I hug my sister.
Umma Umma Sis Zara'u is back Saliha shouted our moms name.

When I saw my mother I nearly cried of how much I missed her when I hugged her inhaling her scent ohh Umma I miss you.

And I miss you too she answer we are not expecting you this early she said breaking out of the hug.

Yes the driver was fast, where is Zubair I know Saleem is in Islamiya.

He went out but he will back now.

That's how I was surrounded by my family for the whole day Najwa call me she even speaks with Umma and our mothers say hello to each other.

I did not talk with Sufyan but we have been texting each other.

On my third day at home I am cooking in the kitchen while my siblings are not at home Zubair went to his shop while Saliha and Saleem went to school, I wanted to tell Umma about Sufyan before she start been suspicious or worst of it all she finds out herself.

Umma I call her name she is sitting outside the kitchen with a book in her hand.

Yes she answer given me her attention.

I want to tell you something.

Well go ahead am listening.

Umm I met someone at school.

Someone? she ask stopping what she is doing.

Someone I mean a guy his name
Is Sufyan I wanted to tell her more but her facial expression stop me.

Is he a student she ask .

No he is a building contractor an engineer I said softly.

And he likes you .

Yes I answer.

What about you she ask again.

I likes him too I said softly.

Hmm....... Zara'u that is not what we agreed on remember you are there to study not fall in love and ....... She stop  and calm down a bit ....... See I can not stop you from falling in love she said softly because that is the one thing that doesn't ask for your permission and I thank you for telling me this but don't you think it's a little too soon for that she ask me and all my heart comes crashing.

You are just in your first year and you still have four years to go if you start dating now don't you think you will just give up on schooling and marry? Before you accepted his love did you for once stop to think of your promises to me and all our expectations on you.
If you think you can handle all that then who I am stop you but just know that am always here for you but that does not mean that your actions will not disappoint above all I trust you to take care of yourself because I know you are not me.

After my talk with Umma all the jelly and the butterflies I fell for Sufyan all calm down a bit and I keep asking my self if I can love and study at the same time? Disappointing Umma will be the last thing I wanted seeing dad has done that already.

I know what Umma meant that am not her well Umma and my dad met when she is in Secondary school Umma was pretty and dad is a lady man who can woo any girl over and that's what happened to my mom, Umma was so in love with dad that she is willing to sacrifice school for him she breaks her parents heart and their only option at that time was to marry her off to dad.

Umma is still regretting her decision back then because dad is still a ladies man, now he married a second wife he left us for her he will go for months without visiting us even to pay for my school expenses he refuses is Umma and her family that are doing that for me and I pray that I will never break her heart for any man.

Umma later tells me that if I believe that Sufyan is a good man then she will help me pray for the best for us.

Although she approves of our relationship she wasn't exactly trills about it either.

So I reduced my calls with Sufyan I want ti know if I still have control over myself and still I don't want his love to control me in the future we messaged each other yes but only in the night that we speaks on the phone.

I can always come for you you know that am just here because I don't have much to do back home but for you I will be there.

I will come back next week so just be patient and wait for me.

Three weeks without you feels like three decades and I laugh.
Oh how much I miss your laughter and we were quite for a while tell me what did you do today.

Well I went to the market today with my friend Asiya.

I bought food stuff and I bought some clothes that I will take to the tailor before going back to school.

Mami POV

Kamal you still haven't tell me what Sufyan did the day he went out early in the morning.

Am afraid that Sufyan is seeing another girl Kamal answer.

She was silent for a while before she speaks, is it a fling or is it something serious.
