Destined for One Another (34)

Mahinoor's P.O.V.

"Bohot khoobsurat ho tum,"  (You are very pretty) Bhai's Amma said gently brushing her hand over my cheeks, "Rehan  is very lucky to have you."

I chuckled, "Thank you Khala, but I think it is the opposite."

Rehan threw his arm over my shoulder lazily, "I think so too." He winked at Khala who playfully slapped his cheek. "Khala!"

"Stop bothering her," Khala said taking my side.

"This is so unfair," Rehan whined, "You have known me longer than Khala, why are you taking her side already."

Khala rolled her eyes, "Because we girls stick together."

Smiling mischievously at Rehan I linked arms with her, "Always." I confirm as he squinted his eyes at me, before walking away as his phone began to ring cutting off our conversation in the middle. He excused himself and left the room.

"And what about me?" Alizeh said announcing her arrival, as her heels clicked against the tiles, she smirked at me as my eyes. widened at the unwanted guest she brought behind her. One boy I didn't really recognize, but the other. . was Salman.

My mouth dried up, as my heart thumped. against my ribs. . .my hands got clammy. . what the hell was he doing here? I hadn't seen him much around the campus these past two weeks, and now. . .he's standing right infront of me, smirking. . ."As-salamu alaykum, Khala." She said,

Khala let go of my arm, and said, "Wa-Alaikum-Salaam, Alizeh." She hugged her, as Salman stared into my soul. I looked down at my feet, where was Rehan?

"Hey Mahi," Alizeh said tauntingly,

I breathe out heavily, "Hey,"

She looked behind her, "Zayn, say hi and this is Salman, I am sure you two have met before am I right?' Wait, how did she know that I knew Salman? Did Rehan tell her?

"Hi," I say to Zayn, clenching the sides of my dress I say hello to Salman as well, before backing up alittle. I looked around trying to see where Rehan had gone but he was nowhere in sight along with Bhai.

"You know Salman?" Khala questioned me,

"From Huntsville," I answer honestly, "Right Salman?"

Salman smirked, "Right Mahi,"

Khala noticed me uncomfortably and she came to stand beside me, "I have some business to attend with Mahi, why don't you three go upstairs to where the two boys are, Mahi will join shortly. "

Mahi and the boys nodded, as they brushed past me, Salman purposely brushed his hand against mine, as he walked by, "We. are going to have some fun tonight," He whispered, causing me to look up at him as he winked at me, before following Zayn and Alizeh.

This is not good.

. . .

The living room upstairs had been taken over by an awkward and tense atmosphere since everyone had arrived, mostly because Rehan and Salman were staring each other down. since they had spotted each other. "So," Bhai cut through the silence, "Should we play a game or something?"

Alizeh shrugged, "What game?"

"Well, I have a bunch of booze, maybe truth or drink?" He suggested,

I furrow my eyebrows. . .booze. . .but, I looked over at Rehan who looked like he had done this before. It's haram, Baba had always said that we weren't allowed to, or shouldn't touch alcohol ever. Does Rehan drink? "You mean truth or dare?" Rehan corrected him.
