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

Chapter 24: Daydreaming

Samar's POV

I was tying my shoes sitting on table my flight is at 4 pm.Maryam was eating the milkcake I gave her as gift yesterday on our nikah.

She is sitting comfortably on the bed,hair open that length to her waist, She had a whole pile of books beside her.She doesnt care about the world when she has food in her hands.I was looking at her with enthusiasm she caught me and said"What"
"Atleast ask me when will I return just for formality"I distracted her .Her gaze fell on me she said

"I already know that."

"Okay.Ask something else.Like how much you will miss me .How much you dont want me to go"

"You are more delusional then book girlies"She started eating again

"What makes this milk cake so special.Are these different in any way."I wanted to know the reason for her obsession to eat these from only one particular shop.

"No.These are normal milk cake.You can find it anywhere,but the thing that makes it special is the nostalgia it gives.Whenever my family goes to our grandmothers home we use to stop at this bakery and eat these.The excitment to go to Nani's home mixed with the excitment of get to eat this milk cake.Its reminds me of that wholesome mamory."

She is right.I feel the same for carrot cake  my mother use to specially bake for me.I liked that cake so much that I use to force her to bake it every sunday.I never bothered if carrots are in season or not.,I was in the bubble of past memories when I got the notification for my flight.

"I am going.Take care of yourself.Try to not ignore my phn calls."

"I already linked your phone number to my bank account for the time you are having your seperate one.Until then you have to use this.If you need physical money its in that drawer."

"Are you going for a month.Why would I need so much money when you are just coming back in 2 days.

"In case you need it." I emphasise,"Ask Anneanne if you need anything else."

"Okay.Aint you late for your flight."She rolled her eyes and started eating again

I slept the whole flight.I have two other employee with me who are not employee but disguising security.We reached new york after having rest my next day was really busy I had 2 meetings in a day.I bearly had time to eat properly.I want this collab to be perfect.

I reached the hotel room ,i did mild workout to keep me consistent.I havent had any phn call or text from Maryam,so i decided to facetime her.
"What do you want,Samar.If I am not answering the call that means I am busy."She is standing in the kitchen,I can see her forehead furrowed.

"What happened"I asked

"Pls dont waste my time.I am watching a recipe on my phone.I cant talk to u right now."She replied and started writing something on a diary.

"You are wasting your time on cooking.Shouldnt you be studying right now.Dont blame me if you cant make it in the third attempt also."I was provoking her to tell me what she is doing there.

"I will blame you.Everything is a mess because of you.I told you to wait till my mains but you didnt listen to me.Here I am embarrasing myself for not being able to make a simple dessert." I can see tears in her eyes.

"I apologize."

"The only thing you can do."she said.

"You can tell Anneanne that you cant cook.She will understand.If you cant talk I can talk to her."

"No no .Dont do that.She already told her friends that I am making them dessert.Alina aunty also invited your mothers friends to meet me personally.Anneanne will be hurt"
"You can order it,no one gonna know."
"Why you always give wicked ideas,like stalking,blackmailing and threatening."
"I am just trying to help."I stated
"You wanna help, do me a favor and leave so I can focus on this."
"Dont underestimate your husband.Believe it or not only I can help you."I said confidently but she didnt bother to reply and started writing again.
