I'm so annoyed and the reason is just him. I haven't met him only for a week. Though we have been talking through video call everyday. How can someone be so attached to a person in so short period of time? I was back in the world by someone's hand on my shoulder causing me to flinch.
"To the earth Aadaya Heza." I heard appi. "Sorry" I apologised genuinely. "Focus on the meeting." I nodded before listening to the going on discussion.
After the meeting I glanced at my watch before packing my things to leave as it was time to leave. I headed to the exit but stopped when I heard a familiar voice which I wanted to forget. It was 𝙝𝙚𝙧!
"Aadaya?" I heard her ask. My inner self said to ignore her and leave but I didn't. "Afreen." I exclaimed fake happiness. "Seeing you after college literally." "Yeah." "I didn't get to meet you on the graduation day too." Ofcourse how could she even find me when I left the place. "Yeah right I wasn't able to meet you one last time also actually I had a flight to take so I left early." I explained "You're here for?" I asked "I'm selected for the fashion week." She squeaked. "I'm actually in hurry hope I'll meet you soon." I uttered and left without hearing her response.
I headed straight to my house. As I entered the house a familiar music rang indicating I have a caller. I huffed before taking out the phone as I didn't wanna talk to anyone right now. As I saw the caller my annoyance vanished. I quickly set myself and answered the call.
"Asalamualaikum." I heard him voice is like a honey. "Walaikum assalam." I replied. "What happened? You took so long to pick up." He asked it didn't even take him much time to know my oddness. "I met someone whom I never wanted to meet in this life and the fun part is that she is my opponent." I exclaimed. "Look whatever she has done to you. Allah has given you chance to get back to her." He encouraged. I nodded like a child. My door bell rang "Seems like I'm having a visitor I'll call you later. Allahfiz." I uttered and soon hung up when I heard him voice out an allahfiz.
It's almost the time for Isha so this person must go early. I went up to the door only to find my sister crying.
"What happened?" I asked her calmly after letting her cry for more than an hour. "H-he che-ated on me." She stammered. "Who?" I asked suprised I didn't even knew she was in a relationship.
But soon embraced her to calm her. After giving her some moments. I think it's not the best time to ask I better just let her be herself for while thinking I broke the hug and voiced out.
"Let's go and offer prayer hmm?" She nodded in response wiping off the tears and went to her room. She had a room as she often used to come to stay. I too went to perform ablution. After offering prayer in calmness even after having a blunder within me with her beside me crying silently still in prostration I let her as it feels like a living hell if we have it filled in our heart soon later she hugged me still crying mess. After for about 2 hours I decided to stop as I can't afford her to be sick because of some jerk.
"Enough!" I tried to be stern but the voice came out soft by itself. She hummed. "How about you wash your face while I get us dinner after heating it to eat hmm?" She again hummed getting up and leaving for her room.
After heating the food I took the food to the table. A yell escaped my lips "Hafsaaa!" She arrived soon in a minute after I called for her. We settled down. I saw the way she was totally broken I'll kill that jerk for sure. Her eyes were red due to crying, she was all about tears now. After having dinner we were now in my bedroom I cleared my throat to gain my attention.
"Mind explaining?" I asked. She sighed before answering "I met him like 2 months ago. We met during when I last visited you and I went for shopping as you were caught up in work that day. I casually talked to him I thought I'm not going to see him anyway but seems like I was wrong about that I met him again in India at my workplace. He has come as an member from the other company to finalize a deal as he was a CEO and wanted to give it our company as it well known for its uniqness. We came across eachother. I started talking to him often as he would come to nearby cafe for some coffee and end up inviting me for having a sip. After a month of talking I started liking him I felt like he too did but I was wrong again. I confessed soon but he had to leave for London the next day he said he liked me too aapi." Her voice broke but being adamant she ignored continuing "We talked daily on call but I started feeling he was behaving weird but I ignored it thinking it is because of work stress. Today was the exact a month from when I confessed and I decided to surprise him but I was suprised to see the scene discovered instead. He was kissing someone in his office and when he saw me he smirked at me and again kissing the girl in his arms. I didn't knew what to do I was totally broken and I unconsciously came this way walking." She voiced out and was looking more broken than before.
I just hugged her in order to calm her. It seemed to work tho. She slept in my arms. My phone ringed out of blue causing her to frown but didn't wake up luckily she is a deep sleeper. I took my phone and left after seeing the caller id otherwise I would have ignored if it was someone else. I headed to the balcony of my room.
"Assalamualaikum." I greeted he was fast enough to point out my dryness. "Walikum assalam but what's wrong?" He asked straightforward and lacking patience in his tone. After which I narrated the whole story to him. He took was dumbstruck after hearing me. He then assured me that he would look through the guy for once in order to make sure there is no misunderstandings and I agreed. After a while of calming me sensing my sleepiness he bidded a allahfiz before ending the call. I went straight to sleep.
I woke up due to a alarm echoing. I forgot to remove it. I quickly looked at the bed feeling Hafsa's absence my eyes soon fell on the note kept on side table. Reading it made me aware that Hafsa isn't home and is having a hectic schedule and it is out of London. I huffed in annoyance at my foolishness for not removing the alarm while getting up. After morning routine I was dressed in a comfy clothes and left for some instant noodles as they ran out.

I walked to the nearby store and was paying after choosing some more things when I felt my phone vibrating after paying I took out my phone answering it.
"Assalamualaikum" I said but the vehicle on the road were making him aware that I'm not home. "Where are you so early?" He asked. "Actually I was here at nearby store for some things for breakfast." I answered him "You're up so early?" He knew that I would wake up after some peaceful amount of sleep but still why did he call so early morning."Yeah but you called so early today anything special or were just missing me too much?" I asked wriggling my eyebrows. "Well you are not wrong tho I had both the things in my task." I laughed a little and nodded "Go ahead then." I ordered "Just let you reach home then I'll shock you." He said and ended the call.
I was in like 10 steps away so I marched to the house hurriedly and after reaching i closed the door after entering already dialing his number. As soon as I called a ringtone started ringing startling me to my core. I went to the source not before grabbing a vase in my hand. I was dumbstruck when I saw Zunair looking at me with a innocent smile.
"Farid?" I asked and he hummed. "When did you come? Why didn't you informed me before? Is everything ok?" I bombarded him with questions but he just "Calm down babe nothings wrong I came here like 20 mins ago and I wanted to surprise you." He answered with calm expression "I forgive you this time but next time you better inform me beforehand only." I ordered he nodded like a small toddler. "Anyway I missed you so much." I said before hugging him tightly "Me too." He said while hugging me back.
After a while of catching up I was hungry so "Had breakfast?" I asked her shook his head negatively. I asked again "What do you wanna have?" He said "You're making?" I shook my head before answering "Ordering." "How about I make some?" He suggested "No not at all you must be tired after the journey so I'm ordering!" I declared sternly and he nodded without protesting. "Soo?" I asked "Waffles." He uttered and I ordered the same. "There is something else also for coming here." He stated and I urged him to continue. "We are getting married after you return." He completed and I squeezed him in a hug. "But the main question is are you ready for it?" He asked. "Are you crazy? Ofcourse I am dumbo." But my happiness soon turned into sadness. He panicked seeing tears filling in my eyes "What happened Ada?" He asked unable to hide the worry in him. "Nothing just thinking about my parents." And he soon embraced me in his arms and I let myself break down infront of him.
