His Hidden Crush

Chapter 1

Ayat POV:

"It feels so peaceful, so right." I smiled at him and sighed in content looking around us. We were standing in front of a beach facing each other.

"Indeed it is, little mouse." He replied.
I couldn't hold it back and said to him,
"I love you Zade." I confessed.
"I love you too, little mouse." He replied and I beamed in joy.

Our gazes locked and suddenly he leaned towards me and I involuntarily leaned towards him as well, heart beating rapidly in anticipation for what's coming next.

Our lips were about to meet but then - ring ring! ring ring!

My alarm rang. I opened my eyes and groaned when I realized it was a dream.

Shit!

I was about to kiss Zade. Why again? He is my favorite fictional character! 😭

Sighing sadly, I got off the bed and headed towards the bathroom to perform wudu for Fajr prayer.

After performing wudu, I offered my Fajr prayer and asked Allah for everything. I asked for the health of my loved ones, good education and a stable job and most important a good spouse.

Well, I want a fictional man even though I know they are not real but who knows I might get one. Allah SWT can do anything.

After praying, I went to my closet to choose a dress for today. I have classes to attend as I am a university student currently in my 3rd semester.

After searching for at least 20 good minutes, I found a good dress according to my mood. A teal color frock with a churidar pajama along with khussa.

I watched my reflection in the mirror and smiled in satisfaction. I knew I was not a beautiful girl but I was comfortable just being me. I am just a normal girl. Neither beautiful nor ugly. Just me.

I came downstairs after getting ready to see whether this Zara got ready or not but the aroma of the freshly prepared breakfast attracted me towards it and I went to the kitchen.

"Mhmm, Ami! What are you preparing for breakfast?" "Your favorite and regular breakfast. Chai pratha."

I took a seat at the table and sat down to dig in but then remembered why I came here.

Stuffing my mouth with pratha, I asked tayi ami. "Where is Zara? Don't tell me she is still sleeping."

"No. I am not. I am on time bitch. You are early."Tayi ami was about to say something but then Zara herself interrupted.

I saw Zara entered cladded in dark blue shalwar kameez along with khussa of the same color just like me with her hair in a high ponytail.

"There you are. Be quick." Ignoring her previous remarks, I ordered her.
"You can't order me like this, bitch." She retorted.

I was about to argue with her further but then a voice came.
"Assalam-o-Alaikum"
Here comes Zahran bhai. He was wearing a beautiful black suit neatly pressed with the same color tie with his hair set nicely with gel.

"Walaikum assalam." Everyone replied including me, Zara, tayi ami, ami and taya abu who was sitting there silently reading his newspaper and my baba was... I think he was still sleeping because his health was a bit upset.

Breakfast was served and everyone settled down on their respective seats.

I was sitting with Zara on my left side and Zahran bhai on my right who just took this seat.

I resumed my breakfast and muttered a 'be quick' to Zara so that we can go to university.

Then taya abu spoke, gaining everyone's attention including mine.
"Everyone must be present for dinner. I want to make an announcement regarding Zahran."

Zara being Zara curiously asked.
"What is it abu? Just tell us right now na."
"Not right now. At dinner. That's it."
Taya Abu said in a non-negotiable tone. No one dared to ask him anything. He was the eldest in the house and no one ever dared to defy him.

We were done with breakfast so I got up and asked Zara to finish hers too quickly but then Zahran bhai said to me.
"Sit down, Ayat. I will drop both of you to university on time. Don't worry."

"Aww thank you so much bhai. See, Ayat. Bhai will drop us on time. You don't have to worry. Just trust his driving skills. Isn't it, bhai?"
Bhai chuckled at Zara remarks and I glared at her.

Breakfast went on with Bhai and Taya Abu's usual business conversation and Zara's blabbering.

A fucking typical day!!
