Destined

Chapter 19

Naureen

The cold Breeze kissed my cheeks as I gazed outside the balcony.

I was at Saif's place. It's been 2 months now. Saif is opening up to me.

He has improved a lot. Also he is back with good grades. I'm happy for him. Helping Saif improve was not so easy for me. Whenever I saw him, I used to remember her-Razia.

Her smiling face used to appear in front of my eyes. I controlled my emotions and didn't let Saif know anything about it and did not even let his father know about it.

It was vacation time so I decided to meet him as it's been long since I haven't seen him.

He was alone at home as always I bet is father spends very less time with him. But I can't blame him, he has work to handle and It might be so hard for him to forget his wife.

Only aunt knows about Saif I haven't told this to Sidra or Ayaan. Ayaan with whom I share all of my life's secrets I have hidden these two secrets from him cause I can't help it. He won't let me meet Saif when he knows about it, when he'll know he is Razia's child and the other secret, well, you all know about it.

Coming to Ayaan, I talked with aunt and she was beyond happy
She can't wait to pair up Ayaan with Maheen. Her parents too agreed to this and their engagement will be very soon and about me I was happy for Ayaan.

It's good at least he'll get the love of his life.

"I can't wait for school to reopen. I am getting all bored with this vacation." I was in deep thoughts when Saif broke my chain of thoughts.

"Why though? I guess children don't want vacation to end."

"Yeah but I don't have anything to do all day. All my friends are out of town on family trips and I am here sitting at home playing boring video games." He frowned.

"Aw,why don't you and your dad go on some picnic that will change your mood?"

"I already suggested this to dad, but he is all busy with work and can't make it so he apologized." He shrugged.

"So now I'm here why don't we do something which will lighten up your mood" I suggested.

"Like?"

"Like play or do something thats your favourite?"

"Um... play here?

"We'll go to the park near by?"

"YES!" He jumped up and down. "Football! It's my favourite!"

"Football? It's my favourite game too!" I smiled.

"Really?" His eyes widened. I get that a lot. People don't see me as the football type of girl.

"Yeah... I was the captain of girls football team in my school days"

"oh wow!" He grinned." Now come on. Let's not waste time" he grabbed the ball from the couch.

" Yeah but I think you should inform your dad about it first. Here call him from my cell." I handed him my cell.

He dialled Mr Hamid's number.

"He's not answering" he tapped the screen.

"He must be busy. Why don't you leave him a voice message?

"Yeah okay..."Dad, it's me, saif. I'm going to the park with Miss Naureen. I will be back soon" he smiled and gave me my phone.

We walked towards the park. It was not too far just 15 minutes from Saif's house.
