Unexpected love

Chapter 6

"Hey Bilal! How are you?" Sarah texted Bilal. But he wasn't online. His last seen was yesterday at 11:10PM. She didn't react to it much because at this time of day he wasn't online usually, so she continued with her work. On the other hand, Bilal didn't sleep the whole night and was upset. He was extremely sad. He didn't have his dinner the last night and neither did he have his breakfast this morning. His mother had kept breakfast ready for him, she was out because she had some work. They had a holiday due to some reasons. He loved getting official holidays from school, he and his friends would usually plan for hangouts. But this time he wasn't happy.

"Tringg tringg, tringg tringg" his phone rang. It was from his friend.

"Bro, how about a football match and then McD today?" his friend asked.

"No bro, no mood today!" Bilal replied in a very dull way. As if he has lost interest. "Maybe next time." Bilal said.

"Are you ok man?" his friend asked.

"Yaa, I am ok. No worries" Bilal replied.

"Ok then see ya soon." replied his friend.

"As salaamu alaikum" his mother said entering home. Bilal was upstairs so he didn't hear his mother coming. Breakfast was kept as it was. His mother was quite angry and shouted "Bilaaaaaaal" He came down and said,

"Oh hi mom! When did you come?"

"Just now. Anyway, why didn't you have your breakfast till now? It's 3 already."

"Umm, mom I wasn't hungry. I just now went to supermarket and grabbed something from there, so I forgot about this. Sorry!" Bilal lied again. He didn't have anything since yesterday.

"You should atleast see the dining table Bilal." His mom told him. "Anyway, come let's have lunch." He finally Bilal ate something.

Sarah kept on messaging Bilal. "Bilaaal, you there? I am sorry for yesterday. I am sorry if I hurt your feelings. I did not wanted to hurt you. If I did, I am extremely sorry." She kept messaging Bilal. She checked his last seen every now and then. But he didn't come online. Bilal had no intentions to show her attitude. Just that he was sad and lost interest in almost everything.

Bilal didn't come online for two days. And Sarah messaged her everyday. She became really worried. She started thinking many things. She became really worried and searched him almost on every social networking site. But her work was in vain.

"I wish I had his number, so I could speak with him" Sarah exclaimed. But she did not have his number. She wanted to speak with him badly.

After several days, Bilal became quite ok and he finally came online. He had so many messages. Majority of them were from Sarah. He messaged her "Hey Sarah!" and at that moment she was online. Sarah was so delighted to see him back. She was literally crying out of happiness.

"Bilaaal, where were you man? I swear I missed you so effing much! Where were you? I searched for you almost everywhere. What happened? You are ok?" She blasted with so many questions. Bilal remained silent, Sarah got her answer in that silence. Bilal didn't say anything, but Sarah had to explain him the reason as to why she said him no at that time.

"Look Bilal, you are really a masterpiece, and you are perfect. But my type of relationship is different. I don't want the modern day relationship. I believe that the modern day relationship is like USE AND THROW type. You just use someone till you need them and then forget them! I don't want that. I want it should be permanent and accepted by everyone." Sarah explained her everything and Bilal understood it. But he still had little hope.

"Maybe just maybe, someday she may love me." Bilal said to himself. He had believe in his love.

Finally they were back. Back and same as they were. The image or the place Sarah had in Bilal's heart didn't change.

"I am really sorry Sarah! I did not wanted to hurt you. I am sorry if I hurt you. I did not have any intentions to show you ego or attitude. I was sad and disturbed. I did not know what to do." Bilal said feeling sorry. He never wanted to hurt Sarah or her feelings. He cared for her feelings.

"It is ok Bilal. I know you won't ever hurt me. Yes I was worried, where were you and I searched for you almost everywhere. But when you texted me, trust me I felt so happy." Sarah replied in a positive and happy way. She trusted Bilal and knew he won't ever let her down or break her. They really had very special bond.
