Meant To Be Together.

Chapter 2.

Umair.

"Rida please leave me alone." I told her as she continue to talk about her friend. 

"But-" I glared at her when she tried to arguewith me. She stood up and walk out of my room.

I sigh and close my eyes. I know I was rude to her, but I can't help myself. She is annoying me by telling me how her friend is. I don't really care about her friend, all I care was about my sister. I look at my phone when it starts ringing. I pick it up and check the caller ID. I smiled when I saw Maham name.

"Assalam-o-Alaikum." I give her Salam back and ask about her day. We starts talking about our wedding is is almost 3 weeks away. 

"Are you okay?" I heard her concern voice on another line. I sigh and shake my head. 

"I am not. I don't want to wait that long. I want to marry you now. Can't we run away and get married?" I asked her playfully but I know her reply. 

"We can't but I was thinking of running away with you for some ice-cream." She told me. I quickly stood up, getting excited.

"Are you serious?" I asked her and grabbed my keys from the side table. 

"Yeah."

"I am on my way." We hung up and I quickly walk out of my room to pick her up. 

Maham.

I walk downstairs quietly trying not to wake up anyone. When I was out of the front door, I walk to the end of the street and wait there for Umair. It wasn't my first time sneaking out like this. I still remember the first time I get out of the house without telling anyone to go out with Umair.

Hussyan Bhai didn't like of me going out with Umair much that is why Umair told me we should sneak out of our homes when everyone was asleep. 

***

"I can't do this." I told him and step out of my room to see if everyone is sleeping like Umair told me to do. 

"If you want to spend time with me then you have to do it. I am waiting for you." He said and hung up. I glared at the phone screen and calm myself. 

After making sure that no one awake. I quietly walk out of the door. I am luckybecause Sila gave me the keys and told me to lock up before sleeping. I look at the house and feel guilty for doing this, but I have to see him. Last time I see him was when he drop me home when I was coming back from meeting my friends. I call Ahmed but he couldn't come and I had to call Umair. That was almost a month ago. 

"See, it wasn't that difficult." He smirks at me when I sit on the passenger seat. I glared at him and rolled my eyes. 

"You don't know how much scared I am right now. If Hussyan Bhai know about this then I will be in trouble." I say honestly. He sighsand pulled on the road. 

"We are doing this because of him. If he wouldn't keep me from seeing you then I wouldn't have forced you to do it." He mumble. I know he annoyed with this, but Hussyan Bhai do this to protect me. I don't hate this but sometimes I get annoyed as well. 

"I will talk to him about this." I try to make him relax. He nodded and give me a small smile.

***

"You take so much time to come." I sit in his car and greet by his famous smile that had my heart racing slightly. 

"I would have come sooner, but Rida saw me and started to ask me questions." He sighs and drive toward the only ice cream shop that was open this late.

"Oh." I look out of the window thinking if I should tell him or not. I don't know how he will react when I tell him what Rida is doing. 

"What's wrong? You look tense about something." I smiled without thinking. He always knows that something happened whenever I was quiet.

"There is something I want to talk about." I told him and look as he park the car in front of the shop. 

He nodded and tell me to wait while he get out to bring us some ice-cream. I look and saw him standing behind a guy who was ordering. I smiled when he looks at me. I don't know what will happen if he didn't save me that day. I wouldn't be happy here with him. 

"Here. Your favorite chocolate mint." His hand me the large cup. He gets himself a crunchy ice-cream.

"So what you want to talk about?" I look down at my cup and try to find words to explain him. 

"It is about your sister Rida." I look at him and saw his hand stop with a frown on his face. 

"What about her?" He looked confused and I can tell that he didn't know anything what his sister is doing. 

"I saw something that disturbs me. I think she likes Hussyan Bhai." My eyes widened when I heard him choking. 

"My sister likes your brother who is already married?" I nodded slowly and put a spoon full of ice cream in my mouth.

"Yeah. I saw her giving him looks, but he never notices it. A few days ago, I caught her outside of Hussyan Bhai office." I told him nervously. I look up and saw him looking down.

"I am not saying this to make you against her or to make you think that your sister is bad. I like her and she is like a sister to me as well, but I don't want her to ruin her life after something that she never gets."

"I know. It is just that I don't really think about it. Don't worry, I will take her about it when I get home. I will try my best to make her understand all this. Thank you for telling me." I smiled and nodded. We finish our ice cream and drive around the city. 

It was almost 3 am when Umair drops me home. I smiled in thanks and walk inside from the front door. I lock it again and went in the kitchen to drink some water. I brought the glass to my lips and take little sips. Suddenly the lights switch on and I spilled out the water. I quickly turned around and saw him. 

"What are you doing here?" I asked him nervously. I didn't really think that he is staying here before I sneak.

"How about you answer my question first? Where were you?" He asked me and block my way when I tried to walk away. 

"It doesn't matter to you." I told him and try to walk away but again he stop me. 

"You know Hussyan didn't like you meet him like that then why are you doing this?" I was trying my best to control my anger but whatever he is saying only make me more angry. 

"I don't have to ask anyone what they like me to do or not. This is my life and I can live it like I want. So please stay out of this." I told him firmly. He looked at me surprised, but nodded slowly. 

"You are right. This is your life and I have no right to say anything. I am sorry." This is all he says before he walk out. I take a deep breath to control my anger and feel bad for yelling at him for no reason. 

I sigh and walk toward the guest room downstairs where he is staying. I knock a few times, but he didn't open. I saw the time on my phone and yawned when I see it is almost 3:45 in the morning. I shrugged and went in my room thinking I will talk to him tomorrow and say sorry.

Assalam-o-Alaikum!

Update! I hope you all like it and please let me know what you think about it. Sorry for not updating on Friday like I say.

Honestly, I am not in mood to write anything these days but I will try my best to do it. I know that I might be over reacting right now but I can't help myself. She means so much to me that I can't stop myself for not believing it. Her death left me in shock but I am trying my best to keep myself normal.

Next chapter will be out on friday. In Sha Allah.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support!

-Maddy.!
