The Girl He Left Behind

29

---Atif's POV ---

2 years later

It's crazy that all my friends are married now and have started a new chapter in their life.

About two years ago we had decided to go through and move into this house.

Seriously, if she didn't agree I would've dragged her out. I didn't like the way things were getting between everyone.

There was just too much drama! I didn't want to be coming home everyday from work to a problem at home.

So thankfully we moved out.

I went to put my stuff away in my office room.

I went to our room and saw her just sitting on the floor going through something.

I don't know if I should do this or not, but I want to so I will.

I quietly went behind her and yelled boo.

She used the same book she was looking at to hit me.

"Ok..okay, sorry! Stop," I said laughing.

"Jerk!" She said.

I just laughed at that.

"Anyways, what're you doing?" I asked.

"Found my yearbook," she said.

"Oh! I wanna see!" I said.

"Okay, look at it," she said.

We started going through it and she kept telling stories about the people she knew.

"I'm sure they're not friends anymore. She got pregnant before college," she said pointing to some girl.

"Before college?" I questioned shocked.

"Yep," she said.

"Wow," I said suprised.

We kept going through it a bit more.

"Wait you skipped a page," I said.

"No, I didn't," she said.

"Let me see!" I said.

"No!" She said.

"Now you've admitted that you skipped a page," I said.

"Sometimes I don't like you," she said and as I took it from her.

"Whatever you say," I said.

I turned back to the senior personalities type page.

"Oh," I said.

"See, that's why I was ignoring it!" She said.

"But if you are over him then you shouldn't be," I said.

"I am over him. It's just awkward, I mean we've been nominated as most likely to stay together forever. I don't want you to see that," she said.

"I personally don't care. It's the past and life happens," I said.

She smiled at that.

"Oh, you see this one. Voted most likely to succeed, both of them dropped out of college!" She said.

"Seriously?" I asked.

"Ya! I was shocked," she said.

"I'd be as well," I said.

We got through all of it.

"So where is yours?" She asked.

"Good question. I have no idea," I said.

"Wow!" She laughed.

"Anyways, I got this really amazing project.." I was saying as my phone went off.

I just ignored it.

"Answer it," she said.

"I'm busy!" I said.

"With what?" She asked.

"You," I said. "Priorities first."

She blushed at that.

"Answer," she said leaving.

I sighed and answered before it went to voice-mail.

"Hello," I said.

"Hi. I was calling to see when you will be arriving, as it's our company that you will be closing a deal with," the person said.

"I'll see when. You can transfer me over to your boss and we can make some time," I said.

"Inaya isn't in right now," she said.

"WHO?" I asked suprised.

She went on and told me her full name and the position.

"You can tell her the deal is off," I said and hung up.

I just sat with my head in my hands on the bed.

This was such a great project and now I know why it was such a great one.

She was looking to throw a loop in it somewhere and get something for herself.

My phone went off again and it was the same number.

I sighed and answered it.

"Hello," I said.

"The f*ck do you mean it's off," Inaya said.

"It means I'm not going through with it," I said.

"Ugh!" She said and I hung up on her.

A few seconds later Shurti walked back inside.

"Kya hua?" She asked.

I went on and told her everything.

"Wow, someone's a desperate b*tch!" She said and I couldn't help but laugh at that.

"True. Khair chor, there's going to be more opportunities," I said.

"Exactly!" She said.

"Just a bit upset cause this one had everything I needed," I said.

"What if I told you I have something that can cheer you up," she said.

"Is it what you are hiding behind your back?" I asked.

"Behind..what?" She asked.

She looked behind her.

"That's the yearbook," she said.

"Whoops," I said and we both started laughing.

"Okay, but still do tell me," I said.

"I'm pregnant," she said.

"What?" I asked suprised.

"I'm not repeating myself," she said.

"But your serious right?" I asked.

She nodded.

I couldn't help but kiss her.

"Seriously so happy right now," I said.

"See, I told you," she said.

"Thank you," I said.

"Oh and it's a boy," she said.

"Really?" I asked.

"I'm kidding. I don't know yet," she said.

"Wow!" I said laughing.

Seriously just turned my day around.
