Unexpected love

Chapter 5

It was a lazy Friday morning. Bilal was still asleep. "Bilaaaalll" shouted his mother, "Get up, it's almost time for Friday prayer." Bilal didn't listen to her mother and continued to sleep. His mother had to usually shout at him several times to wake him up. It was the most difficult job for everyone, except his father. His father would shout once and he would get up right away.

"Bilal, didn't you get up till now?" his father asked him little bit strictly.

"I am already up dad!" Bilal said immediately jumping from his bed. He then went to washroom got freshed. He and his father then left for Jumuah prayer.

After praying Jumuah prayer, they headed back to home. "Here take, drive to home" Bilal's father gave him car keys to drive home. He would usually drive to home. Bilal was now legal to get a license, but he didn't find time to go to driving school and make a license.

"I'll make my license this summer vacation anyhow!" Bilal said to himself. Bilal started driving from 9th or 10th standard. He loved driving cars.

On reaching home, Bilal went to his room, changed his clothes. He took his phone, logged in Instagram, and checked his messages. He then messaged Sarah. She wasn't online. He then closed his phone and started playing PS4. Meanwhile Sarah was outside with her parents.

After playing for quite few hours, Bilal then checked his Instagram, there were 6-7 messages from Sarah. Some of them were her pictures and the rest was text. She had sent her pictures which she clicked when she was outside. She usually didn't send anyone her pictures, but since Bilal and Sarah were quite close and knew each other since many months now, she sent her pictures.

"Hey Bilal! Sorry for not coming online, I was outside. I just came back home." Sarah had texted her after sending the pictures. She didn't send to prove her that she was outside, just because she wanted to send.

"Woooowwww! You look so beautiful! And your smile is so amazinggg Sarah! You look Fabulous in all the pictures!" Bilal replied her. He really liked all the pictures she sent. He was saying the truth.

"I just hope she doesn't take me in the wrong sense." Bilal murmured to himself. He was just about to log out and then came in the reply from Sarah,

"Awww, thank you so much Bilal!" They started chatting then.

Bilal- "How was your day?

Sarah- "It was amazing. I enjoyed very much. I took so many pictures. But I sent only the good ones!"

Bilal- "All of them were good. You look so pretty"

Sarah- "Aww, thank you again! So sweet of you. By the way you told you will say something today. You kept it suspense, now pleeeaaaseee tell me."

Bilal now became nervous. He had completely forgotten about this. But it was something which he wanted to say long back, but he didn't. Bilal didn't reply for two minutes which made Sarah curious.

"Bilal, you there?" Sarah messaged him.

"Ya ya here only." Bilal replied immediately. Bilal was now very much nervous, but then he somehow dared to say her that thing which he had promised her to say the other day.

"Sarah, I don't know why I have that feeling, a sort of closeness type feeling. And this feeling is from Day 1. The day we started chatting. You are so beautiful and pretty. You have a great heart, you care for others feeling. And I am not saying this blindly, I know this might be difficult to believe, if you hear this from a person whom you know from past one week or two weeks. But Sarah we know each other since many months. And I swear I am not faking it. You make me smile whenever I think of you. Even if I don't want to smile, I smile. You give me happiness which is just not describable. I know this might seem so weird to you but yes it is. You have become most important part of me. Sarah I love you. I really really love you." And Bilal finally said this. He wanted to say this before but he didn't. He didn't wanted to ruin their friendship.

Sarah read all this. She wasn't angry. Sarah was confused now, she could not say no, but the strange part was she could not even say yes. She liked Bilal very much. He was very nice guy, he looked amazing and was handsome. She liked his hair and eyes very much. His hair were silky and quite light brown in colour, his eyes were brown, which were very much mesmerizing and fascinating. She liked her personality, he was fit and fine. But most of all, she liked his nature. He had a caring and lovable nature, a nature anyone would love. He was just perfect. But then there was something which didn't permit her to say yes.

"I am so sorry Bilal, I can't. I really can understand your feeling and I am very much sorry for it. I feel bad but I just can't. I am sorry." Sarah replied him feeling sorry.

When Bilal read this he became very sad but he didn't display or show it to her. He didn't compel her to say yes.

"Ok Sarah I have to go, my mom's calling me." Bilal lied her. He could not be rude to her so he just lied to her.

"I am really sorry Bilal. I hope you are ok." Sarah replied her, worrying.

"Nah, it's ok. Good bye" Bilal replied and logged out of his Instagram. That evening he didn't have his dinner, his family found it quite absurd so they checked out whether everything is ok with him or not.

"Everything is ok mom and dad. Just that I ain't hungry now. I'll eat when I'll feel hungry" he told to his parents. But he didn't eat anything. And he just simply went to sleep but, he could not even sleep.
