"Rayyan." A coy female voice called.
They both looked at the source of voice.
Dressed in a white puff-sleeve shirt and dark blue pants, with the right side of her shirt tucked in and the other side left out. With a dark blue veil rolled in a bun on her hair.
She paired it with silver accessories.
Her skin was tanned. She was tall and slender. Even the plainest clothes clearly reflected the freshness and charisma of this woman. A business woman.
Her five inch heels made a click sound as she walked. She smiled, her white teeth shining. She sat down on the seat beside Rayyan without a second thought.
"Raihana." Rayyan called her name.
She smiled and casually put her hand on his shoulder. "Rayyan." She couldn't help but call out again. Her pretty voice was laced with joy. "It's been long. But I'm mad at you, you didn't care to look for me for all this year." She sent a glare at him.
"You know how busy the company is, when did you come back?" He asked.
"Last week, I decided to come back and settle down here for good."
"That's good for you, what do you do now?" He asked.
"Interior design and I handle all the restaurants now. Look didn't I do a good job with this one?" She glanced around her and smiled beautifully.
"Yeah, it's not that bad." He said.
She jokingly slapped his shoulder. "Why can't you just say something nice? You haven't changed at all." She pouted.
"My bad."
Raihana was born and raised in the United States. Coincidentally, she attended the same university as Rayyan. She was Rayyan's only close female friend and was well known for her stubbornness. Every morning, she would bring two lunch boxes- one for herself and one for Rayyan. At first, Rayyan refused to eat the food she prepared, but that didn't stop her from bringing it anyway. Eventually, they became friends and he gave in and started eating it.
"I heard you booked the whole restaurant, so I came to say hi.." she glanced at Tasleem and asked. "Is this your sister?"
Even a blind person will know that- this is a date. Was she pretending? Or was she born to the world today?
Tasleem's heart was ripped, Rayyan was never this close to any other woman before, not even to his cousin. Apart from Mamie and Amira. So who is this woman? Why is she an exception? And the fact that he didn't reject the woman's touch hurt her even more.
This is their first date. Why should a third party come and ruin it?
Are they here for a reunion or a date?
This is unacceptable!
No woman will accept that.
He looked at Tasleem and smiled. "This is my wife,Tasleem.” He looked at her “And Tasleem, this is Raihana." He introduced.
Tasleem glanced at her and forced a smile. "Hi, nice to meet you." She said,
"Omg, hello, you look so beautiful. How did you tame this guy? Honestly, I respect you, you did a job. Trust me, this guy was cold, unfriendly and rude." She chuckled playfully. "If not because I'm persistent we wouldn't have become friends, our friends were even shocked when they saw us eating together, they even named us the RR couple." She chuckled and looked at Rayyan. "I miss does day's." She said,
No matter how delicious the food was, Tasleem felt the food was tasteless in her mouth.
It was no doubt that the woman intentionally said all those things to irk her. If not, then why? Did she ask her?
