Tangled in Love

Chapter 63: Last or Never

Parties have been part of my life and no doubt I used to enjoy them a lot but not anymore, since that incident happened five years ago with Mayaan. Just the thought of it scares the hell out of me and I couldn't stop my mind to wonder how she is coping with that memory of her life. I didn't wanted to be part of this party in the beginning but then her words echoed in my ears,

Never let the opportunity of family time to slip out of your hands when it comes to you!

Said Mayaan when I was hesitating on going to Vancouver.

I smiled and agreed to be part of this party when Javahir asked besides my little angle was turning into one but now I was standing quietly listening to two people who chat like about everything;

"Omair darling why do you appear so bored like you aren't enjoying yourself at all"

Nida asks thoughtfully.

"Bingo, you got me"

I said with a bore look and look at the floor.

She laughed and continued talking with Tim.

I slowly looked around at the crowd in the party, all of them seemed strangers. Maybe because it's been a while since I had a family gathering. I searched around for my sister Javahir but my sight caught the person I thought I might never see her after that morning. She was standing in a lavender lace dress that gracefully fell till her knees while her hair were open and curled from bottom. It seemed like she almost stopped breathing just the way my breath was caught in my lungs. I stood straight and unknowingly I walked towards her because God I missed her.

She looked away making her hair bounce in a way making my heart do somersaults and revealing the white pearl earrings on her ears.

Tim and Nida followed me and before I could speak Tim spoke;   

"Where have you been girl?"

Tim said happily and hugs her making me jealous because I couldn't claim the feeling I was going through at this moment. My thoughts were interrupted when Tim spoke again with adding

"I missed you, How are you"

He asked as he pulled back;

"I am good Tim, how are you"

She said ignoring my presence but she knew my gaze was fixed on her;

"Mayaan, The talk of the town"

Nida said dolefully as she wraps her arm around my hand. Jealousy flashed in those dark eyes of Mayaan but she was fast enough to hide them;

"I have heard a lot about you finally had the privilege to meet you,

I am Nida, Omair's..."

Nida got interrupted by the sound of Mayaan's phone ringtone. She took a deep breath and excused herself and left to answer the call. It seemed she left to avoid me because she took a breath of relief. After a while I left Nida and Tim with Javahir and Zain with an excuse of making an important call.

I searched for her everywhere but then my eyes caught the lavender dress hiding behind a pillar. I walked towards her and I was about to talk to her when I heard her talking with someone on the phone;

"Hey relax and trust me, I am fine,

When are you planning to come because I miss you?"

She said with leaning back on the pillar and it appeared she truly meant each word she said to the person to whom she was listening quietly who appeared to be a male but what she said next shook me and I felt dejected;
