Heart entanlgled : a journey of two souls

chapter 2

Suddenly, she blinked and looked around her room. Her eyes widened in shock. The soft morning light still streamed through the window, but something felt off. Her room—her usually neat and organized sanctuary—looked like a disaster zone.

Clothes were scattered all over the floor, half of them thrown carelessly over her chair, while the rest formed messy piles around the room. Her desk, which she usually kept neat and tidy, was now a jumble of open books, half-drunk cups of tea, and crumpled papers. Even her bed, usually meticulously arranged, was now a tangled mess of blankets, as though mocking her in her current state.

Ayesha’s face flushed bright red. Not because of Ayan—although the thought of him still made her heart race—but because she had completely neglected her room. It was as if the chaos in her room mirrored the chaos in her mind. She had been so distracted by thoughts of Ayan that she hadn’t noticed how messy everything had become.

In a flash, Ayesha jumped out of bed, her feet landing on the floor with a soft thud. She quickly began to tidy up, picking up the clothes from the floor and tossing them haphazardly into the laundry basket. She shoved stray books back into their shelf without bothering to organize them properly. She quickly yanked the blankets back into place on the bed, smoothing them out as if doing so would somehow restore order to the whirlwind of emotions inside her.

She wiped the dust off her desk, her hands moving quickly, trying to make everything look presentable again. The mess wasn’t just physical—it was emotional, too. She had been so lost in thoughts of Ayan, so overwhelmed by the feelings he stirred in her, that she had allowed everything else to fall by the wayside.

As she straightened the last pillow on her bed, Ayesha paused for a moment. She turned to look at her reflection in the mirror across the room. Her cheeks were still flushed from the realization of how chaotic her room had become, and her hair, hastily tied in a messy bun, looked wild and untamed. She let out a soft sigh, a smile tugging at her lips. She wasn’t usually the type to get carried away. Ayesha prided herself on being practical, grounded, and organized. But something about Ayan had her thinking about him in ways she never expected.

Maybe her messy room wasn’t the worst thing about her. Maybe, just maybe, a little.mess was okay.after all, some things —like love—were meant to be a little bit chaotic.

chaos wasn’t such a bad thing after all. After all, life wasn’t always about perfection. Sometimes, the messes were where the real stories unfolded. And in that moment, Ayesha couldn’t deny that Ayan had brought a whirlwind into her life—a whirlwind that she wasn’t quite ready to tame.

The soft rays of the morning sun gently filtered through the curtains, casting a golden glow across Ayesha's freshly tidied room. Sitting by the window, she gazed out at the quiet street, the world still waking up around her. Birds chirped in the distance, and a cool breeze fluttered the leaves on the trees. For a moment, the world outside felt calm, almost magical.

Just as she was lost in this peaceful moment, her mother's voice called out from the kitchen, breaking the silence.

"Ayesha, beta! Nasta lag gaya h!"

Ayesha smiled and stretched, hearing the familiar warmth in her mother's tone. It was a small thing, but it made her feel at home, loved. With a final glance at the window, she stood up and walked towards the dining area.

As she entered the room, her eyes met her father's. He was seated at the head of the dining table, the morning newspaper in front of him. His face lit up when he saw her.

"Assalam o Alaikum, Abbu," Ayesha said, her voice soft yet filled with respect. She couldn't help but feel a surge of affection for the man who had always been her steady support.

Her father lowered the newspaper and smiled warmly. "Walaikum Assalam, beta. Kaise ho aap?" His voice was deep, filled with concern, as always.

Ayesha's heart swelled with gratitude as she took a seat beside him. "Alhamdulillah, sab theek hai. Aap kaise hain?" she asked, her words sincere, the morning calm settling in her chest.

Her father nodded and patted her hand gently. "Shukriya, beta. Main bhi theek hoon."

Just then, Ayesha's mother entered with a tray of food, the aroma of fresh parathas filling the air. The crispy golden-brown parathas were perfectly stacked, accompanied by a bowl of creamy yogurt, slices of cucumber, and boiled eggs. And the chai-steaming hot, with a hint of cardamom-was the finishing touch. Ayesha inhaled deeply, savoring the comforting scent of her mother's cooking.

As her mother placed the dishes on the table, Ayesha felt a rush of warmth in her heart. There was something about these mornings-the simplicity of being with her family, the love that filled their home.

She reached for the food, eager to dive into the meal. Each bite was like a hug to her soul-crispy, flavorful, and perfect in every way. As she ate, her father hummed quietly in contentment, and her mother moved about the kitchen, preparing for the day ahead. The soft clink of utensils, the sound of a kettle boiling, and the peaceful chatter of the family filled the room, making it feel like the safest place on earth.

Time passed quickly, and soon Ayesha finished her breakfast, helping her mother clear the table. The day had only just begun, yet it already felt full of warmth, connection, and love.

After finishing breakfast, Ayesha quickly cleared the table and turned to her mother with a smile. "Ammi, main ab padhayi karne ja rahi hoon," she said, her voice filled with determination. Her mother nodded, her face glowing with affection. Ayesha knew how important it was to stay focused, especially with exams coming up.

She went to her room and sat at her desk, the warm morning sunlight streaming through the window, casting a peaceful glow on her study space. She opened her books and began to work, each page turning with quiet confidence. The calmness of the room made it the perfect setting for a productive study session. But as she was lost in her work, the sudden sound of the doorbell broke the silence.

Her mother, who was in the kitchen, stood up and went towards the door. "Ayesha, beta! Niche aao, dekho kaun aaya hai!" she called out with excitement.

Ayesha’s heart skipped a beat. She instantly remembered that Ayan and her brother Zain were supposed to arrive today. Feeling a wave of excitement, she stood up quickly, eager to see them. But in her rush, her foot slipped on the stairs. Time seemed to slow as she lost her balance, and before she knew it, she was tumbling down the stairs, landing in a heap at the bottom with a loud thud.

As she looked up, a wave of embarrassment washed over her, but then she saw them—Ayan and Zain were standing at the door, laughing uncontrollably. Zain, wiping tears from his eyes, teased, "Arey, hum itne bade bhi nahi hue hain! Pair to mat chuo!"

Ayesha's face flushed a deep shade of red, but she quickly got up, trying to play it cool. "Well, guess I’ve got a new style of greeting people," she said with a playful smile, brushing herself off.

But as she glanced around, her eyes widened. Her older sister, Sarah, was standing nearby, and to her surprise, Ayan's parents, along with her own, were there too. The house had suddenly turned into a lively reunion. Ayesha’s heart raced with excitement, and the mix of joy and a little bit of embarrassment made her smile even more.
