Magnetic Match

CHAPTER 6

In the next few days, Zainab and Rayyan are busy with wedding shopping and preparations. They're not going to university. Today is the mehendi ceremony, and they're also having a dholki celebration. The wedding is the day after tomorrow, so they're hurrying with the preparations. Saif and Zayn are setting up everything in the lawn, and Rayyan is putting up decorations. Guests are arriving, but they're all going to meet Shiza.

Zayn jokes with Saif, saying, "You're better at planning events than coding!"

Saif replies, "I can do both!"

Zayn: But neither of them can impress the girl.

Saif: so you think she'll be impressed if I start going to the gym? I have a good body already!

Zayn: Well, there's one quality in you , that might just impress her.

Saif: What's that?

Zayn: bike riding.

Saif's expression changes, and he says, "Leave it."

Zayn: Give it a chance.

Just then, a voice comes from behind.

Hala smiles and says, "Hi!"

Saif turns around to see , Zayn already looking in that direction, with Alishay standing beside him.

Zayn: Zainab and Rayyan are inside.

Alishay: Why so arrogant?

Hala: Leave it, Alishay. let's go inside.
Hala takes Alishay's hand and leads her inside, while Saif is lost in thought, wondering what's going on.

The event has started, and everyone is seated in the center. Shiza is sitting on the stage, and people are taking turns applying mehendi on the leaf she is holding in her hands and feeding her sweets. The rest of the guests are singing songs and enjoying themselves. Rayyan and Zayn are also there, standing on the side, but Saif is not present.

The scene shifts to a small garage at the back of the lawn, where it's quite dark. Saif enters and approaches a bike, touching it with his hand, which is covered in dust. He examines the bike's various parts, then puts on a helmet. After a while, he hears Hala's voice from a distance, and quickly hides inside.

However, the voice gets closer and closer, and Hala says, "I've already told you, don't be under any misconceptions. There's no question of marrying you! You're my father's sister's son, that's why I'm tolerating you, otherwise, I wouldn't even consider you."

Saif recalls Hala's previous mention of a "back story."

Hala, angrily , says, "How dare he hang up on?" As she starts to leave, Saif suddenly coughs.

Hala suddenly turns around and looks around, then notices the garage door is open. She bends down slightly to look inside and sees someone sitting there, but his face is unclear due to the darkness.

Hala starts to shout, but Saif quickly grabs her hand and pulls her down, covering her mouth with his hand. Their eyes meet, and they stare at each other.

After a while, Saif slowly moves his hand away from Hala's mouth and says, "Sorry."

They remain seated, still looking at each other. Then, Hala notices the bike and helmet behind Saif and quickly picks up the helmet, exclaiming, "That's so cool!"

Hala puts on the helmet and smiles, asking, "Can you take a picture of me?"

Saif agrees, but instead of using Hala's phone, he pulls out his own phone from his pocket and says, "I'll send it to you."

Hala smiles and stands up, and Saif follows suit. Hala places her hand on the wall, and Saif's head touches her hand. Saif stands up straight and looks at Hala, his eyes locked on hers.

Then Hala strikes a pose, giving a thumbs up, and Saif clicks her picture. As Saif continues clicking, he asks, "Do you like bikes, or do you just liked the design?"

Hala replies, "I'm a reader, so I'm definitely obsessed with bikes."

Saif asks, "And bikers?"

Hala looks at Saif intensely, making him feel awkward. He quickly says, "I've taken the pictures, I'll send them to you."

Hala asks for his number, and Saif hesitates, saying "Huh?"

Hala asks, "How will you send them without a number?"

Saif nervously replies, "Oh, here, write down your number."

Saif hands over his phone, and Hala writes down her number, saving it with the name "Rayyan's Friend".

Then Hala removes the helmet and hands it over to Saif, fixing her hair. Hala asks, "Are you a biker?"

Saif replies, "Kind of."

Hala exclaims, "Wow, that's so hot!"

Hala says it without thinking, and Saif keeps staring at her. Hala realizes what she has said and quickly adds, "I think someone is looking for me, I'm leaving, it was nice talking to you."

Before Saif can say anything, Hala quickly leaves.

As Hala walks away, Saif looks at the helmet and smiles, taking a moment to savor the scent left behind. He then puts on the helmet, pulls out his phone, and searches for "Rayyan's Friend" in his contacts. He edits the name to "Ol' Lady" and sends her the pictures he took of her. Then, he removes the helmet, locks up the garage, fixes his hair, and heads out.

AUTHORS POV: When a biker decides he likes a woman well enough to keep her as his personal property, he takes her as his Ol' Lady. The term Ol' Lady is a term of endearment, not one of disrespect.
