ENTANGLED AND HEARTS (Her Price For Dreams) [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 12: My Love🥰( SAMAR)

Samar's POV

I sent her roses today because yesterday I saw her struggle to pluck roses in the Garden of Kindness . She leaned in, and a thorn pricked her delicate skin. It seems like roses are her favourite.

I still can't believe I found her at your NGO. But i should not be surprised as KINDNESS is the place where people like her belong to. Aline Aunty asked me why I spend so much time at KINDNESS, but little does she know, I watch Maryam tutor kids from my office window.

Maryam is just like you, Mamma - kind, soft-hearted, and a pure soul. I use to say that I would never fall in Love and look here I am falling for her every second.I believe her with my heart Mamma.I know she will never break it,she will never hurt me ,she will never betrey me.

YOUR SAMAR

I close my diary, feeling a mix of emotions. Stepping onto the balcony, I'm surrounded by Delhi's vibrant streets. The noise, the energy - it's a contrast to my quiet thoughts.

Writing to Mamma, even though she's gone, brings me comfort. It's like she's still with me.

This diary is my sanctuary, where I share my deepest feelings. It reminds me of happy times with Mamma.

Gazing out at the city lights, tears well up. I hold onto these memories, cherishing every moment we shared.

Door bell ring breaks my thought process.
I open the door to find Amir, Waleed, and Sayra standing there.

"What's up, bro?" Waleed asks, coming in.

Amir quips, " He must be thinking about if Maryam and Rayan dating."

Sayra smirks. "They're not dating... yet."
I feel relief.

The group settles onto the couch.

"What do you mean?" Waleed asks, curiosity piqued.

Sayra explains, "I asked Maryam if she's single, and she said yes.But they like each other and maybe in future"She stops as Amir gives her a sign.

I frown, " why you think they'll date in the future?"

Sayra leans in. "It's the way they interact. There's a spark, especially with Rayan."

Amir turns to Sayra. "We already know Rayan likes her; that's why he's volunteering at the NGO. What's the new intel baby?"

" New information is that Rayan is out of country for two weeks." Sayra replies.

" My girlfriend is a master spy." Amir smiles.

" I am not a master spy its because Maryam is really friendly.She consider me as her friend thats why she told me everything.I am so guilty right now.Why I did that" Sayra's tone low.I feel a pang of hurt in my chest.Its wrong to betrey Maryam like that.

"Its okay you are doing this for good.Samar loves her and you are helping him to get together with his love."Amir replies.

"And Your work ends here.Now we dont need to spy on her."waleed says.

" What would you do Samar if they were dating?"Waleed asks and Amir punch him in the stomach to silence him.

I dont know what would I do.I feel jealous when I see Rayan with her.It hurts looking them together.I liked someone romanticly for the first time in my whole life.Rayan can find someone else easily but I cant do that.I only have her in my life.She is my only person.

"Brother say something" waleed ask.

"I dont know " I reply.

...................

I glance at my watch for the umpteenth time. 5:30 PM. The strategy meeting is supposed to end at 5, but Dad's partnership idea has derailed the schedule.

Dad leans forward, his eyes locked onto Ms. Maya. "Our growth strategy depends on expanding our reach. I believe partnering with a platform provider is crucial."

Mr. Patel nods. "Agreed. It will enhance our scalability and reliability in our American regional headquarters."

Ms. Maya smiles. "I've researched potential partners across America. NovaSpire stands out."

Dad's interest piques. "What's their market share?"

"Significant," Ms. Maya replies. "They're competing with AWS and Google Cloud."

As they discuss NovaSpire's pros and cons, my mind wanders. Maryam will leave the NGO at 6 PM. I need to leave soon to catch a glimpse of her.

I discreetly check the CCTV footage on my phone. Maryam is still there.

"Samar, what do you think?" Dad asks, jolting me back to reality.

I haven't been paying attention. "About what?" I ask, trying to cover.

Dad's expression turns puzzled. "About the partnership with NovaSpire."

I buy time. "I'll tell you after researching."

Dad smiles "Okay, son, tell us soon about it. We'll follow your lead. As the head of our New York headquarters for a year, you know more about the American market."

Ms. Maya nods in agreement. "Mr Ibrahim's insight will be invaluable in this partnership."

"Thank you so much. I'll review NovaSpire's proposal and get back to you soon," I say, trying to sound confident.

As the meeting concludes, I quickly gather my thoughts. I have to leave soon to look Maryam even though from distance I am lucky to see her.

I hurry out of the conference room, my heart racing with anticipation.

I stand at the same window, mesmerized by Maryam's serene presence. She walks through the garden, notebook in hand, reciting something under her breath. Her eyes sparkle as she paces, lost in thought.

She settles onto the grass, surrounded by vibrant flowers. Her fingers brush against a nearby bloom, and she brings it to her nose, inhaling its fragrance.She love flowers.

My daily ritual has begun. Watching over Maryam from this window, feeling her closeness.I wonder Does she remember me? Does she remember our parking lot encounter?

As I observe, I notice:The evening sun light dances across her fair skin, illuminating her delicate features. Her brown eyes sparkle as they catch the perfect angle of the sun's rays, radiating an otherworldly glow.

Her eyelashes flutter, and she smiles to herself, lost in thought. The gentle breeze stirs her hijab.

As I watch, mesmerized: Time stands still ,The world fades away ,Only Maryam remains, bathed in golden light.

Alina aunty enters the room,unaware of my intentions here," You want tea." She asks

I refuse, still entranced by Maryam's tranquil scene. "No,Thank you."

Maryam glances above, sensing someone's presence, but I move away from the window.

I breathe a sigh of relief, grateful she didn't see me.

" It seems like you miss your Mother a lot these day.You stand by this window for hours watching NGO." Alina aunty says sitting on her table.

"You should get married,Samar.You are really alone." Alina aunty adds.

" okay,I will get married next month." I say looking down at Maryam from the window.

Aunty laughs,"Next month,Stop joking,Samar."

"I am not joking." I reply.

Thank you reader.
