Previously:
we learnt about Amaani, and Zubaida realized she needed to move onLong await
Chapter 32: ParT 1:
Day before the wedding:
Husnaa P.O.V:
What a rush it is to get everything done in time for Amaani's wedding, what surprised me though is Zuhayr, his like totally cool about it. I am really proud of him, I know how hard it hit him, and I can see he sincerely wants to move on.
It's about time he got on the road of recovery, and it's all thanks to Zubaida.She is like a breath of fresh air for him, She's nothing like Amaani. Amaani was this enigma, I always adored her, in some ways I do, but for hurting my brother I can't simply be happy-go-lucky.
RinG...RinG...RinG
Me: Asaalmualaikum
Amaani: wslmz doll how are you?
Me: Amaani?
Amaani: jee, you sound so grown up
Me: yeah I am 17...uhm I'm alhumdz, jazakaAllah for the wedding invite..
Amaani: No problem doll, I hope to see you there inshaAllah, could I please speak to your mom?
Me: uhm sure, hold on...
Weird, what does she want with mom...
Me: Mommmm! Phone...it Amaani
Just as I said her name, Zuhayr walked in
Me: salaam bha, I...just...
Zuhayr: it's okay, carry on, just forgot a file, won't be long
Me: okay
Just than mom decided to make her grand entrance
Mom: Wait Zuhayr, I need to speak to you, let me just see what Amaani wants, don't go anywhere!
And than she answers and talks for few minutes and cuts
Mom: Zuhayr, I know you a grown man now, and you can make your own decisions, but for my sake, and that of your sister come with us, I don't care what people say, or how they feel, I am proud of you and this wedding is my chance to show I raised a man of strength and integrity, please don't let me down
And with that lecture, that froze me and Zuhayr, she leaves to go back to whatever shes been busy with...
Zuhayr: She's right, phone Zubaida, tell her she needs to get an outfit ready, she needs to come also, I mean first ask her if she would....you know...
Me: Sure just leave it to me
Zuhayr: no bullying, and if she don't want to than just leave it okay!
Me: okay! Geez I'm not that bad, I know when no means no...
Zuhayr: I know sorry, love you, see you later.
As the day progressed, things just kept getting interesting.
As for Irfaan...I don't know what I'm thinking....sure he's sweet but my friendship with raisa is way more important right?
Maybe retail shopping will help...
Me: Mom, can we please go for a quick trip to the mall, I forgot I needed shoes!
Mom: This child! You always remember things last minute, okay lets go!
Hehe works all the time
Zubaida P.O.V:
Fresh start, thats what I aim for. So first stop is Yusuf's office, which like mines is a cubicle.
Me: Salaams
Yusuf: wslmz...
Me: Can we talk please?
Yusuf: sure, why don't we go down for coffee?
Me: No I'm okay, I would rather talk somewhere little less crowded
Yusuf: okay, let's go into the boardroom
So after sitting down in the office boardroom.
Me: First I would just want to say I am hurt by what you did, but I realized there's no point in staying angry, upset or disappointed,it won't change things...
Yusuf: I'm sorry...
Me: It's okay, guess we all prone to mistakes, but there is one thing I would like to know
Yusuf: and that would be?
Me: Did you like her?
Yusuf: honestly I do, we still dating, I know I hurt you, I just didn't know how to tell you, she wanted to tell you but I stopped her, I'm really sorry
Me: It's okay, guess I can still believe you didn't change, just couldn't hurt me..Thanks for being honest
Yusuf: could we still be friends?
Me: For now I think it's best we just be on our own, who knows maybe one day we could...
After my talk with Yusuf, I felt better. It helps knowing the truth. So back to work for the working class.
Being a lawyer, Is much different than studying, meeting with actual people, and looking at the laws. It really worth the studying.
Also I am a person who work well with facts and can hold my own in an argument or conversation, helps that my father always taught me from a young age, he believes it takes just the right wording, and sometimes silience to make a worthy statement.
So after taking a quick break, in which I got a call from Husnaa. She says that Zuhayr would like it if I would come to Amaani's wedding with him....
Amaani, his ex...
Should I go or not? It's up to me she says, strict instructions from Zuhayr, she cracks me up
I said I will think about it and let her know
If I go what would I wear...
I need some advise from my best friend! And pronto!
Ring..Ring..Ring..
Zeenat: Hello
Me: Its me, I need advice, please come over tonight.
Zeenat: Okay will be there, love you
That's sorted!
Zuhayr: slmz
Me: huh, uhm wslmz, I didn't..
Zuhayr: uhm yeah I know, sorry, I just wanted to talk to you..Actually want to ask you, would you please go with me for her wedding? I know It's going to be weird, since you know the whole thing, and I know I haven't been acting as much, but I just want to spend time with you, nothing else, nothing less, please come...
