That Is Where My Heart Resides.

24.Sameer

          ______________________

So I will take better care of your heart than you did.

I stopped the car,took out the keys and walked out of the car but she was still dreaming about everything back that I just said and all that.I took a glance at her and smiled,she really was afraid to go to her own house;such a coward.She really trusts me but a part of her heart also denies that I won't tell about what just happened at the mall.

"Are you sure you want you spend your night here in the car,because I just came here to drop you off", I smiled.

"What...what are you going to tell Ammi now?", she said raising her voice to show her courage but I knew that she was scared to death.

"Can you just get out of the car or should I take you out?", I asked smirking.

"Hold on I am getting out myself", she replied rolling eyes out which I just found out a little cute.Teasing her made me quite glad and that fun only had in teasing her,nothing else.

"Promise me you won't tell her?", she dared to ask still holding onto her shirt.

"What?", I teased once again with a usual smirk.

"You know that", she said snapping.

"But how can I know;you never told me", I teased.

"I know that you know,you really are that smart", she called of sighing.

"So you admit that I'm smart?", I teased her once again trying to hold on with my horrible laughters.

"I never said so", she replied calmly.

"Lets see", with that I walked inside and then she followed back still pleading not to just spill out the thing,she still knows me.

"Where is Omer?", aunty questioned desperately looking wide eyed at us both.

"Mahoor?", aunty questioned without even bothering me and then she turned to me and Mahoor was trembling from head to toe.

"She was just lost", I replied confidently and Mahoor stared me.

"No it was..." she tried to open up.

"And then I just found her alone at the mall and she was just too scared,so I just found her and brought her here" I replied trying to make stories all of a sudden and tried to remain confident so no shadow of doubt remains of anything else.

"Mahoor you should be thankful to Sameer about that,and be careful next time,you're not a kid anymore,what if Sameer wasn't there? Something bad could've happened with you,and where was Omer,he must have searched you everywhere,why isn't he caring for you?", aunty asked with her face dripped in worries.

"Omer....Omer was....just trying to get along when I...just decided to get some food for both of us....but he argued that it wasn't a right decision instead he would just order,so...he just walked over to the place while I took a seat close to where he was ordering.....a couple if minutes passed but he wasn't there so I started to get worried for him and then tried to search for him and then all of a sudden I got lost myself", Mahoor said,with beads of sweat on her forehead and her hands shaking partially.

"So when Sameer got you,you still didn't ought to find him?", aunty blurted suspiciously while  I just wrapped my hands around my head and soon her eyes darted to my direction.

"Sameer is everything s
alright?" aunty asked as expected.

"Ji aunty everything's fine its just a small headache,it'll just fly with time", I replied acting normal.

"Will a cup of tea do?" , aunty asked getting worried.

"Yes please", I replied sitting still in the position my voice hard and low at the same time.

And then she just disappeared into the kitchen while Mahoor stared me like I just have asked for her kidneys.

"I never knew you were an actor", she said sarcastically her eyes fixed on the floor and feared to glance into mine.

"Its that I never do movies,otherwise I would've been a known actor", I replied laughing spontaneously.

And then she giggled too.

Its been a while since I've seen her smile,mostly it felt like years since I've seen her this happy.When she smiled her eyes this time wrinkled too,and she revealed a white set if teeth;all lined perfectly.That dimples on her face just urged me to make her smile.Every depression on her face due to smiling had imperfection in it and she herself seemed comfortable instead if being depressed.

"Can you just tell why do you care for me that much?" she asked her smile ceasing to an end.

"I just want to take a better care if your heart than you ever did", I replied my lips slowly moving and my heart throbbing all over my body,adrenaline rushing everywhere.

"I simply don't understand sometimes what you just say,its so complex", she replied sighing.

She really is right,love really is a complex thing,to understand it,to even have it's rights served is equal to dying,its hard and difficult,difficult to comprehend and that is why it is said falling in love,like collapsing.And if a person experiences love,then nothing else would make him happy,so love is a complex double edged sword.I wish she could just read my mind now to just understand all this.

Between all this the door opened and followed Omer,his hands folded so tight that his veins were popping up and his eyes has a fury running in them as he stared down both of us and then aunty brought the tea.

"Omer?", she called out.
