After studying my facial expression Ammi narrowed her eyes on me.'What happened to you?', she mouthed and I could feel like she would would rip my head off with an axe if I wasn't going to tell her about it.But how could I explain it to her?He was right there and Ammi would never understand my feelings.What was he doing here?
Watching us both aunty Ameena opened her mouth,my curiosity was almost eating me to hear what was he doing here?
"This is Sameer.Sameer this is Fareeha aunty and her daughter Mahoor", she exclaimed while he salamed Ammi and he too seemed amazed gazing down on me and my eye balls were about to come out.I almost choked on my own saliva,coughing louder as my breathing became less as compared to choking,
"What happened beta?Hold on", aunty Ameena suddenly got anxious and before she could reach for a glass of water,Sameer had already brought it and presented to me as if I would take it but I refused slightly.Ammi eyed me with her regular deathly glare that I had to accept it.I know when we get back home I'm totally doomed.
Plus the thing that burned me like fire was that why was he being so angelic when he himself was and presented me as a spawn of Satan?Weird guy.Furthermore he just told that he didn't even talked to a girl,then why was he being such a gentleman?
I could still feel Ammi's glare fixed on me and when I glanced her in the eye,her eyes were blood shot,full of rage.Ofcourse according to her I should've said a 'thankyou' to the guy named Sameer,because he saved my life otherwise I could've died,duh!
"Jazak Allah", I muttered forcibly and it was almost a whisper so that I could obey Ammi,but to my astonishment he had heard it.And mouthed no problem,a soft smile came on his lips and walked away with the glass.
Blood rushed through my veins and my hands kept moving slightly,my cheeks tinted bright red;almost burning like fire.Constantly I was trying to hide them so people couldn't possibly misunderstand.I was never going to fall for him no matter how handsome he is.His eyes were beautiful like an old decayed building with ivy gripping the peeling wall in a timeless hug.
Dinner was already set and so we moved to the dining or guest room where aroma's of a wide array of food filled my breath and my heart ached to eat all of what was present but I had to bear Ammi.How could Mama bear leave me without table manners and eating not to just over fill the stomach.Trying to get rid of him wasn't something as easy because he joined for dinner,sitting right infront of me but thankfully he just kept himself busy with his food.
Biryani was almost making my heart skip a beat and go for more but Ammi had her restrictions on me plus her eagle eyes kept staring at me,with her hand twisted to eat the roasted chicken aunty had made."Beta you're eating nothing atleast have more biryani", aunty complained and I reached out for biryani almost eating all of it when Ammi opened her mouth.
"Bajii,no need,she had eaten her full if she eats more she'll get her stomach upset,she always does that", Ammi tried to reject the approval of eating more biryani.
"Aunty you may let it have her,she would've not got biryani in Canada and like desi biryani", Sameer spoke out of nothing and the outcome was great but made me angry firstly because Ammi agreed neither to the two of us but to this weird guy and secondly why was he trying to help me?And it was he who handed over the plate of biryani to me.Extremely weird."Mubarak ho beta you finally finished your studies so what are your next goals-", aunty suddenly questioned and no her question I had no answer.Ofcourse my parents would be thinking of my marriage but I felt that it wasn't something I was going to discuss,awkward topic.
"Well I'm working on for a job application", I lied even though I yet haven't even decided if I waa going to do one or not.
"Ma Sha Allah,Sameer also came back from Canada after finishing his studies", aunty explained her eyes shining mysteriously.
Please don't be it,
Please...•••••
Finally she was cooled down.
"Mahoor what happened to you at Ameena's house,why were you acting suddenly so strange and annoyed?", Ammi questioned out of blue even though I know it was coming up."Nothing Ammi", I lied and my mind was erupted with several thoughts until the phone rang.I was too tired to reach for it so Ammi picked up the phone.
"Asalamo Alaikum,jee?",
"Ji bajii kiya haal hay?"
"Ji ji she came back,Alhumdulillah"
"Oh tomorrow"
"Are Irum,Warisha and Omer coming along?"
"Ma Sha Allah,no no you're most welcome,I'd be gladly accepting your invitation"
"Hmm...hmmm..."
"Twelve O'clock,okay,no nowhere,"
"Okay baji Asalamo Alakium"With the names being mentioned my brain guessed everything properly but I had to wait for some other information which Ammi was going to inform me with.Knowingly,Omer was coming too.Crap!
"Mahoor!", Ammi called out before I could reach for my room.
"Ji Ammi?", I replied massaging my temples."Bari phuppo with kids will be coming tomorrow and as Fahad is at his hostel,Omer will stay there and so Phuppo will stay in your room", Ammi commanded but before I could say something Ammi walked away.
Phuppos are a spawn of Satan,totally destroying your life to the fullest,they be like:
"Beta what's your blood group?",
"Phuppo its B+"
"Omer has A+ Ma Sha Allah,and he aced his exams with all A+"
"I know you may have got a B grade as you have it in your blood"Moreover there is nothing you can do about it.Ammi is there to insult you and Baba will have to hear about you whining and complaining about Phuppo.
People have phuppos,some of them are nice but she,she's totally full of evil vices and is too acid tongued.
I swear about me getting doomed tomorrow.
I still remember the last time,when I was near to crying and she laughed in sheer.
A/N: Phuppos are worst I swear,no offence!
How was the chapter though?
