A Girl's Fairytale

Chapter 22 : Treasure Hunt..

You don't need a human being to tell you that you are beautiful. You are Allah's creation, how beautiful is that.

Chapter 22

My eyes was searching for him amidst the crowd. As I walked a few steps, my lips curved into smile in the success of finding him in this bustle. I directed my legs towards him as I saw him talking to two men in suit near his car.

As I was reaching near him, they were about to get into the car. So I increased my pace. But a hand touched my shoulder causing me to turn my head back as a girl smiling handed me a card and walked away.

"Excuse me. " I called but she was too fast. Soon I turned around and found that I missed his car. I sighed and had a look at the card as I opened it.

See you at the Cafe in evening .

"Mom" I called out for mom as I entered the house with Fara while she went upstairs.

This was a habit even though I don't need to see her but just to confirm her presence.

There was no response. Again I called her, still there was no response. I looked for her in the kitchen and backyard.

Did she went to Cafe?? But she didn't inform..

Mmm... Yes Bedroom..

I thought and went straight to her room.

Stop.. Knock the door before entering to parents room.

I knocked on the door calling her.

"Wait a minute" mom said.

See how useful my advice has been.

"Come in"

I opened the door and saw mom lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

"Mom, are you alright?? "

" Just a small headache. " mom said opening the eyes.

Was she crying? Her sound says so.

" Small?? I don't think so. I can understand how strong it is if it can hit my mom into the bed. You want tea??"

"No Rinna."

"Mom, your headache will run away if it's senses the arrival of my magical tea."

I said and walked to kitchen to make tea. Within minutes the magical tea was ready.

"I have brought up like my child, I can't " mom was sobbing.

Act like you didn't hear anything.

" Mom, tea is ready. " I said enthusiastically and smiled at her as I entered the room.

" Have this tea. Your headache will run away. " I said handing her the tea cup.

She took a sip of tea and raised her gaze at me smiling.

"I'm fine. You go and take rest." she said and I shook my head in approval.

My heart was paining as I walked out of the room. Many questions aroused in my brain. It was like a puzzle. Each question related to the next. If one gets answered, I will get answers for the rest.

Why was she crying??

------

An unknown ring tone rang. I found out that it was from that phone he gave. It was a message from..

REEN

I sensed something. Was it from my number. If so how was it unlocked. Who calls me Reen?

Is this his phone?

The phone had password so I tried typing many words but failed to unlock it. I threw it in the bed annoyed.

And then I realized it was nearly five in the evening. I dressed up in white full length maxi skirt which had floral imprint in the borders with a floral hijab.

As I reached the Cafe, I saw Lina writing list of the New Year Special Cakes on the board.

"Hey Lina. How's the New year sale? "

Lina turned to me and smiled.

" It's going good. " she said and I noticed a glow on her face.

" Ahaa, is there any special? Due to which a special glow on your face. "

And she blushed shaking her head saying 'no'.

" Hmm" I hummed in a teasing tone.

"OK then I have work and yes, there is a card for you on the counter." She said and disappeared into the kitchen.

I saw a small yet simple card on the counter.

I read the message on the card.

The sweetest in the land of sweets...

My eyes wandered as I was thinking about the words.

And suddenly something caught my eye.

A chocolate box between the cakes in the shelf.

I opened the glass and took out the box. It was a box of Ferrero Rocher and there was another card on it.

Most beautiful flowers in the garden...

What is this? Is it a treasure hunt?

I walked out to the courtyard of the Cafe where the flowers had bloomed.
As my eyes wandered for the those beautiful flowers, my eyes caught the sight of a bouquet of flowers.

I smiled in the victory as I walked towards it.

The chilly winter breeze is on its stroll.

"Hey Fareen" I heard as I was about to leave for the destination while I tilted my head to the source which was quite unexpected, Asim.

"Wow, you're back. "

"Yes. Here I'm. " he said as I smiled finding the reason for special glow on Lina's face.

"Chocolate, bouquet?? " he looked at me confused.

"Asim bhai." a staff came upon interrupting us.

"Ah yes," he said to the staff and turned to me saying, "see you later."

"Okay." I said sighing out a breath.

Wow love is blooming in this chilly winter breeze.

Yes chilly winter breeze.

And I walked towards my destination, the backyard of the Cafe.

There was nothing new there but every time I came here, it had a different feel and the breeze was always fresh and new here.

I looked at the cards.

Am I wrong??

And I noticed a heart sign on it. I looked at the back of the other cards.

One had 'I' and the other had 'U'. And together it read...

"Reen" the manly voice startled me and I turned back.

Hussain...

As I heard what he said, I was... I was blank. Totally blank. My chest rose high and low as my heart beat accelerated.

"I love you, Reen."
