Bond

♡Destiny♡

I'm at a hotel room right now thinking about what I should do next. As you know that I've come here for a business purpose so work comes first.

I've been here for one day and a half. I've arranged my meeting with Mr.Tariq, the managing director of Shams enterprise. It's tomorrow. So I'll go sight seeing after that.

I'll have two days to myself. Then I have to confirm that they will be giving the deal to our company or not. After that my job is finished.

Those two days I'll spend at Abrar's house. I've talked to uncle and aunt. They're very happy and excited. They seem to have something to discuss with me. They wanted me to go there today but I didn't. Because I wanted to finish my work before going there. I want to be tension free.

But I'm curious to know the matter they wanted to share. What could it be?

"Asha, where are you going? Look at me. I know it's none of my business but I want to know. Are you married? Please tell me. Asha... Don't go. Please answer me."

Yeah. I was killing time imagining these. I'm in a taxi on my way to the meeting. I have gone through all the files I need to. I am well prepared. So I was soothing myself thinking about her.

I know I said it doesn't matter if she's married. But now I think it does matter. Because whenever this cross my mind I feel sad and gloomy.

But right now I can't be any of these. I've a very important meeting to attend and I need to be perfect. The taxi pulled over beside our meeting venue. I got down paid the driver and went inside. I am early.

The meeting went smoothly. I did whatever I could to get the deal. I'm confident that they'll choose our company. On my way back to the hotel I bought some gifts for uncle, aunty and Roza (Abrar's younger sister).

I packed my bag and checked out from my hotel because from now on I'll be living at Abrar's. Though I know it'll be a little problem.

When Abrar was alive I used to go to his house frequently. Specially when his family lived at the same neighborhood as mine. Roza used to have a crush on me. I knew that. I tried to be lovey dovey with her too. But I couldn't just get any other girl in my head or heart except Asha.

But still I went to his house knowing the fact that his sister likes me and I can't like her back. It was very selfish of me but I couldn't help that as he was my only friend.

So after Abrar's death I didn't came here so often. For that I don't really know if she still likes me or not. But I've heard uncle aunty are searching marriage proposal for her. I hope she'd moved on.

"Asha look at me. Don't look away please. I want to see your eyes. Those lonely beautiful eyes. Let me. Don't you think it's destiny? See, the train stopped at so many stations but you happened to be here. At the same city where I am. Isn't it a connection between us?"

I'm thinking those words because I'm looking at Asha right now. I was in a taxi, on my way to Abrar's house. When I saw two boys and two girls are walking together.

One girl was left behind. But she was showing no rush to catch up. I saw her from behind. Her hair. I just knew it's her. My eyes can't fool me.

But why is she here? It's destiny. Or else why would I see her after these many days? But those two boys! Is one of them her husband? Or lover? I don't want to think about those possibilities.

I could go to her. But I want what is written in our destiny. If there is any bond between us, any connection, any link we will meet.

When I reached Abrar's house Roza opened the door. She looked at me from head to toe and said,
- So brother Asif, you finally remembered us after this long?
- Yes, now will you let me in?
I said with a smile. She was smiling too.

Then uncle and aunty came and took me to the guest room. They asked me about my parents, my health, my job. We talked for some time. But they didn't say anything special. Aunty said she has to prepare dinner so she left my room.

So I asked uncle,
- Uncle you wanted to talk about something?
- Yes but not now. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
- Something important?
- Yes. It's about Anisha.
- What? Is she here?
- Yes. She came here three days ago.
- Oh!
- Okay son. You rest. We'll talk tomorrow.
- Okay uncle.

You will think now who's Anisha. Anisha is Abrar's wife. After Abrar's death she didn't get married again. She continued her study. She was a English literature student.

Then she started teaching at a school. She lived in a girl's hostel. As her school is not in this city. I wonder what they want to talk about her with me. But right now I want to take a shower. I'm damn tired.

I arranged my belongings and took a shower. After some time Roza came to call me for dinner.

Roza is so changed. That shy girl is gone. Now she's much more confident. She doesn't looks away while talking to me. She doesn't smile uncomfortably like before. Maybe she's over me.

She laughed and talked with me about her university life, her friends, specially a boy named Isak. Maybe she likes her or something. I ate alone but Roza was there for helping me out. After I finished eating I went back to my room.

I just need a sound sleep. Before that I have to see Asha's face. I closed my eyes and imagined her face then opened my eyes and saw her pictures on my phone. She has became more beautiful. Thinking about her I slowly fell asleep.

A/N. I hope you guys like this chapter. And I hope they'll meet soon. Enjoy yourself and have a great day!
