Magnetic Match

CHAPTER 7

When the event is over at night, Saif is in his room, sitting at his study table, but he's using his phone. He's scrolling through Hala's pictures and then checks their chat, but sees that she's already seen his messages.

Saif thinks, "Why hasn't she replied? she hasn't saved my number or hasn't put up a profile picture?"
The night passes like this.

The next day is Saturday, and everyone is at home because there's a wedding the next day. They're all having lunch when Rayyan's phone rings. He gets up, takes the call, and says, "Zainab? She's sitting right here. She'll call you after lunch, yeah , Bye."

Rayyan comes back and asks Zainab, who's sitting in front of him, "Where's your phone?"

Zainab replies, "I think I left it in the kitchen. What's wrong?"

Rayyan says, "I don't know, just call hala after lunch."

Zayn tells them to be quiet and eat their food.

Saif picks up his phone from the table and gets up.

His Chachi tells him to eat his food, but Saif says, "I am full"

He goes to the kitchen and sees Zainab's phone on the shelf with notifications from Hala's messages, including a message that says, "I'm wearing a blue dress, what are you wearing?"

Saif also notices that Hala's profile picture is on the screen. He immediately turns on his own phone's WhatsApp and sees that Hala's profile picture is not there, indicating that she didn't save his number."

Saif : I am so delusional that i saved her number as 'Ol' Lady'. She doesn't even saved mine (he said disappointedly). But wait , why did i even save her number with this name? Why do i care if she saves my number or not?

Saif hears a noise that someone is coming and quickly grabs a bottle to pour water into a glass.

Zayn enters and asks, "Is everything okay? Is there any problem?"

Saif takes a sip of water and replies, "Yes, everything's fine. Why are you asking?"

Zayn says, "It doesn't seem like it. You didn't sleep all night and now you're not eating properly."

Saif responds, "Don't overthink it, there's nothing like that. I slept after you did and woke up before you."

Zayn says, "I found out you opened the garage yesterday after all these years."

Saif puts the glass on the shelf and looks at Zayn, "I was looking at it. It's the last thing mom gifted me."

Zayn says, "If you use it, she'll be happy. Remember how you used to pester her for it for four years? But since you got it, you haven't used it even once."

Saif says, "I know and we couldn't afford it at that time, but its getting hard."

Zayn advises, "Move on, nothing can change now." Zayn leaves.

Hala is at her home, showing her mother a pic of her wearing a helmet.

Hala: Mama, look how cool this helmet is! And See Omar bhai's choice is so weird.

Omar: Excuse me? What do you mean? My choice is the best, and whose helmet are you wearing in this picture?

Hala: Zainab's cousin's.

Omar: There's no need to go to their house from now on.

Hala: What's wrong? Am I having an affair with him or something?

Hala's Mother (angrily): Hala, that's enough!

Hala: So what have I said wrong? You yourself tell me! I can't even talk to boys, but I have to marry my cousin, who only comes for money, and you're also aware of this.

Hala goes to her room and slams the door shut.

Omar: Mom, the rest of the things she said are wrong, but I won't let her marry Huzaim either. He already had affairs, you and Dad also know this very well.

Omar also leaves.

(Saif is sitting next to his bike in a garage , his phone started ringing so he answers the call)

Omar: You wouldn't have remembered, so I thought I'd call you myself.

Saif: My cousin's wedding is going on, so I was a bit busy. What's going on with you these days?

Omar: Nothing, I'm just looking for a job.

Saif: Why don't you take over your father's business?

Omar: You know I don't want to do family business. If I do something, it'll be my own business or job.

Saif: Then just sit around until you get married.

Omar: I'm already engaged! and you've not even liked anyone yet. (flexing while setting his hairs)

Saif: Want to meet up somewhere today?

Omar: Oh my god, a person who is so busy asking me for a meetup.

Saif: Stop being dramatic , Let's hit the highway.

Omar: Highway?

Saif: I want to go to bike riding.

Omar: Are you for real?

Saif: No, bro I'm fake. (Sarcastically)

Omar laughed and said, "Good thing you've finally thought of moving on."
