If you let me love you.. (Season II)

chapter twenty four

.
Ayesha's POV
.

I was in the study room, there was some work needed to be done, the event is starting in three days, I am just waiting to get done with it.

I have not stepped outside the house in the past two weeks, I'm managing all the work from home, whenever it was required to go to The I&A industry Reem went there.

Athar's love confession overwhelmed me, he said he has loved me since our college days, but he never said anything like that during that time.

We were friends for six months, and that time was the most beautiful period of my life, that's why it hurts whenever I think that it was all a lie.

I don't know why he is doing all this now, what could be the motive behind it.

It's true his words have stirred something inside me, somewhere I am still stuck with him, but I can't let him fool me again, I don't want him in my life anymore.

Just a few days, then he will be gone from my life, I will forget the day when he confessed his false love to me.

I should hate Athar, this is what he deserves.

After I was done completing my work, I came to the living room and sat on the couch.

"You done?" Reem came and stood behind me, she put her hands on my shoulders. I raised my head and looked at her.

"Yeah, it's completed" I smiled.

"Great, then I'll lay the table for you, lunch is getting cold" she said and turned to go to the kitchen, I smiled looking at her

I felt better after my emotional outburst in front of Reem, I wish I had told her sooner, there was always a weight on me for hiding Athar's truth from her.

I didn't realise I was bottling up so much inside me, when she confronted me about him, I couldn't control myself and opened my heart in front of her, and since then I have been feeling lighter.

Whenever I break down, Reem is always there to help me in healing, she has been doing it for the last eight years. She is a blessing for me.

For the last two weeks she has been cooking for me, it's her way of pampering, otherwise, Reem, and healthy food? Not a chance.

Her constant trying has made me feel a little better now.

I was so caught up in the battle between my brain and my heart, but now I have cleared my head, I'm going to listen to my brain, because last time when I listened to my heart, it was not good for me.

"Are you coming?" She shouted while putting the food on the table.

"Yes" I stood up and went to sit on the chair.

"See, I made grilled chicken with stir fried vegetables for you" she said proudly. I smiled.

"You are the best"

I took a bite of my appetising meal, and my eyes closed to savour the taste, it was so perfectly cooked

"Oh my God! This is so delicious" I said.

"Thank you" she bowed down dramatically and then sat next to me.

"Have a bite" I put a fork in front of her

"No" she shook her head vigorously, I rolled my eyes.

"If you can make it, you can eat it too" I said.

"Thank you so much, but you enjoy your food, I have got pizza made for me"

"Why do you always eat crap? Try eating healthy sometimes" I shook my head.
