U M È M A' S P O V
I finished my business and came back to where the car was parked. I spotted Shariq rushing towards me.
"Umèma! Are you okay? What took you so long? I got so worried for you!" Shariq held my arms making me feel the utmost comfort.
"Shariq, what happened? Mujhe kuch nahi hua. There was a long queue lined up. Relax." I tried to calm him down.
(Nothing has happened to me.)
His face looked grim, worry etched in his eyes. Does he really love me this much?
"I am fine. Anyway, I can take care of myself." I sassed him and went around him to reach the car.
"Where are you going? Come here, let's eat something." Shariq came around to hold my hand.
"I don't want to eat anything." I crossed my hands across my chest.
"Look, I am not in the mood to argue. We have argued enough. Do you want to come or not?"
"I clearly said no for the first time."
He moved closer to me. "I am asking you once again. Are you hungry? If yes, let's get you something to eat." He inquired with concern.
"I told you no for the first time. I am not in the mood." I turned away.
I could sense his gaze piercing into my soul probably causing a hole within. I shouldn't have acted like a female dog. He asked me out of concern and I am shunning him so bad.
"Fine then. As you wish." He went away.
I quickly jumped into the car and waited for him to come. A few minutes later, he joined me. He was about to start the car but stopped in midway. He looked at me for a few seconds while I turned my gaze away.
"Here." He pulled out a small bag which had bunch of snacks and chocolates in it.
"Shariq, you didn't have to." I reprimanded looking up at him.
"Tum toh iss taaluk ko nahi maanti." He scoffed.
(You don't consider this relationship important.)
"Lekin mein maanta hu aur izzat bhi karta hu. Tumse pyaar karta hu isiliye laaya hu." He looked dead into my eyes making me conscious and breaking the eye contact.
(However, I do consider this relation important, and I respect it as well. I love you and that's why I bought it.)
That made me shut myself and I began contemplating whether to eat it or not. I was hungry but the other side my ego came in being.
"Abhi toh kha rahi hu, lekin iske paise wapis kardungi." I confirmed with him.
( I am eating the snacks, but I will return the money costed.)
"Ha- ha sab wapis kardena. Tumhare liye toh kuch maayne rakhta hi nahi." He gave a dejected smile and put on his sunglasses to start the car.
