Kalima's POV

   I was feeling bored without Ummayyah!! Hameed was also feeling the same. So, I said him to take me shopping.

   Ohhh really! Only now you remember your brother?

   "When Ummayyah was around, you never called me and now you need me"!! You are so mean, He said

   I smiled widely and Hameed said, Okay fine let's go.

    I did shopping nearly for one hour, and Hameed was just with his phone. As I turned, I saw Omar and Naveen. If Hameed comes to know, we are helping Omar, he will definitely tell Rayees. And then Ummayyah will be in trouble!!

    But, Omar saw me and he came towards me!

   Assalamualaikum, He and Naveen said!

    Walaikumassalam, I said

   What are you doing here? And where is Ummayyah, Samera and Shahada? Omar asked!

    I came shopping with my brother! Ummayyah is in her Nanu's place and Shahada and Samera will be in thier home I guess!

   What? Why? How could she go without telling us? We have only few days to practice! Omar  asked surprised.

    What the hell bothers you? It's her life, she can go wherever she wants! Hameed said angrily

    I was shocked at Hameed behavior. He will never speak harshly to anyone. But suddenly he was over reacting!

   Who is he? Omar asked frustrated!

    He is my brother, I said

    Omar come Let's go, Naveen said!

    Who does he think he is? Hameed said and stared at me!!

     What practice was he talking about?? He asked

     Omar wanted our help. So we decided to help him for his music competition, I said

     Rayees said you two to stay away from him right? Why do you guys don't listen! He asked

     Its just a help and he is a good person, I said

   Hameed dint say a word!

    What happened Hameed? I asked!

    He said, nothing! Just go complete your shopping fast.

     Please don't tell Rayees, otherwise Ummayyah will be in trouble!! I pleaded to him

    Okay! He agreed...

    I completed my shopping and Hameed paid the bill. Hameed saw the dresses and he asked, 'why did you get the same dresses'.

    I said, "It's for me and Ummayyah".

     You like her that much, Huh? I never saw you getting something for someone, He smiled..

    Just pay the bill, I muttered..

    Hameed's behaviour kept striking in my mind! why was he behaveing like that?

    On the way to home, I tried asking him about why he behaved strangely. But he kept changing the topic.

    Hameed see this Ummayyah na, she is really bad! I called her nearly ten times but she never answered!!

     I lied to him. Just to know, whats going on in his mind!!

     She went to her Nanu's place after a long time! She must be busy. Once, she See's your call she will call you back, he said!

    I nodded and I kept talking to him about Ummayyah and he told me not to talk about her.

    Hameed, you like Ummayyah? don't you? I asked. He panicked and stopped the car in the corner. are you mad?
She is just like you to me, he said.

     Oh really!I am gonna tell her then, I said. He was so much tensed, I started to dial her number and then he said don't call her.

   Better accept it then, I warned him.

    Noo, Never! He said.

   Okay, then I am calling her, I warner him again .

    Just a crush ,he accepted.

   I opened my mouth and said really?

   Don't you dare tell her. He warned! Okay I agreed.
