Chapter 9

Aaira's POV

"What is it Maryam why did you call me", I ask her.

"I have good news", Maryam says excitedly.

I give her a bored look "What is it Maryam please make it quick we need to go to college"

"Why are you in such a hurry, our lecture is by 4:00pm. Let me just go straight to the point, so I told you about that guy who helped me look for you the time you lost your job right", Maryam says.

"Ohm yes", I say.

"So since after that me and him started talking and now we're officially a couple", Maryam jumps in excitement.

I look at Maryam and and give her a childish frown "So all this has been going on behind my back and I didn't know about it. You didn't even think of telling your best friend all this".

"No it's not like that, I was just thinking of the right time to tell you this, I am sorry bestie", Maryam says and hugs me.

I smile at her "Ok fine I forgive you. If that was all you needed to say then why did you bring me to this restaurant".

"No that wasn't the reason, actually I invited him over so the two of you could meet", Maryam explains.

"It's okay I don't have to meet him, what do you want me to say to him", I say.

"Ofcourse you have to meet him, my boyfriend and best friend need to know each other right!" Maryam says.

I look at her "But...

Right then a guy comes and interrupts our conversation

"Hey babe", He says.

"Honey you're here already", Maryam reply's.

So this is the boy she was talking about.

"Honey this is my best friend Halima", Maryam introduces.

"Oh really, so you're Halima. I've heard alot about you, you really do have a habit of wearing niqab", he smiles.

So this is the boy she was talking about, he looks like a nice guy.

"Where are my manners, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Muhammad Aryan Abdulhameed", he smiles.

"Nice to meet you and I am Halima Mukhtar, like Maryam just said", I smile back.

I sit on another table so that I won't be the third person in their discussion. Whoever this guy is, he looks like he really loves maryam alot. He looks at her all the time and keeps blushing, I never knew that guys use to blush until today. Loves is a foolish affair, I don't think I can ever fall in love.

Staying with Maryam got me so distracted that I forgot about all my problems, I need to find a solution to all of them. After Maryam and Aryan finish chatting he volunteers to take us to college but I deny then Maryam pleads with me and I later agree.

"Thank you soo much Honey, you're really the best", Maryam says smiling at him.

"No problem love, anytime. Oh and Halima it was really nice meeting you I hope we become friends soon", Aryan smiles.

This their love is making me sick ahhh, and for some reason he's is always smiling "A friends friend is a friend right, so we're already friends", I smile back.

"Maryam next time I'll introduce you to my best friend, he's like a brother figure to me. He was just a little busy with work so he couldn't make it", Aryan says.

Maryam nods her head and blows him a kiss, he quickly grabs it and places it on his chest then leaves. He's overly dramatic.

Me and Maryam arrive at the lecture hall.
