3)Silent For His Sake(Completed)Edited

17:Confusion(edited)

Ayman:
Since she accepted my proposal, I could not stop smiling. Now that everything will be done exactly as she requested, I want to make her feel special and take her places she has not been before, but alone with me. When she says "yes," I can not help but smile. Even before we were married, I had already lost my mind.

She is been through so much, and she does not even know how strong she is. I know she worries about brain tumors and other things, but she is a fighter.

Why do not I call her and ask how she is doing if I can not focus on my work because I am missing her so much?

I called her as soon as I grabbed my iPhone, and she came to get it.

"Assalamualeikum,"She spoke softly in response to my calm greeting, saying that she had always been the one to be courteous.

"Waleikumsalam."

"Mhh someone has been waiting for my call?"I asked her teasingly and waited for her response.

"Anisa, Anisa,"I called her twice to get her attention but there was total silence now I was getting really worried.

"Iqbal,"she whispered and for second I thought I heard wrongly but then am damn sure she said someone else's name while talking to me?what's going on?

She just disconnected the call??what?she never does that and whose Iqbal??

Past lover?what else happened in 12years....now my mind was filled with lots of confuion and I banged my hand on the table....damnit.

"Why is my son hurting the poor table?"Dad's smooth voice reverberated throughout the room, and I glanced in his direction. He had a broad smile on his face, which may indicate that he and Mom had a good night out yesterday. He seemed happy these days. He told me how, prior to getting engaged, he was told to accept dare and all that crap, and how easily Mom had forgiven him.

I looked at my hand, which was hurting really bad, and said, "Nothing serious, dad."

"You will now withhold things from me?"That looks work on mom, not on me, dad, he asked naively. At that thought, I grinned.

"All right," I told him, thinking that since my mother was home, my father would give me a wise talk and advise.

When I told my father about the little incident, he grinned. What was funny now?

"She disconnected the call on Mr Ayman CEO?"He said this while smirking and teasing, and I widened my eyes; he found it amusing.

"Dad," I called him to get him to return to his usual routine and give me some advice.

"Okey, okey," he said, waving his hand.

"So this Iqbal may be his friend, just like you and Mayra," Dad said, and something hurt in my heart; I could not stand his name and I did not know the guy.

I tried to respond, "Mayra is married," but I was just being envious of my fiancé. Wow, Ayman, you are really losing it.

"Wow,"dad said and stood up.

"Just relax son he must be someone from their family friend if she has mentioned him and disconnected call may be due to some emergency,"dad tried to bring so many reasons but some din't make sense.

How much my dad always loves me and tries to find positivity in people same applied to mom they always know how to handle calmly.

"Give your heart a break son and she will explain to you at right time we have known hwr since diaper days remember,"he told me and I agreed with him with a smile but still something felt wrong I just felt it once dad went home early I thought of finishing work and head towards Anisa's as soon as possible.

I ringed the bell and maid opened for me I rushed towards the room and stood there staring at them with my eyes wide open and confusion on my pale face..

There was Anisa her mom and some stranger in her room pleading her to give her a chance I stayed waited for her to say something they still hadn't noticed I was there.

Their backs were to me while Anisa was so lost in thoughts...what was she even thinking and what was there to think he had lost his chance if he needed one it means he had made a mistake...

Life is full of surprises isn't it?

"Whose he anyway?"I asked myself until I interfered in their conversation and all eyes snapped towards me.

"Ayman?"Anisa called my name with a surprised look may be she wasn't expecting me to visit her but how can I not?when I heard her saying some other guys name while talking to me.

I just entered the room and greeted them and stared at Iqbal with glare and stern face...I laready sensed trouble just by seeing him.

"Ayman we will talk later please?"she asked me in her soft voice oh now she was dismissing her she couldn't talk to him in my presence?I glanced towards her mom and she gave me an apologetic look I just nodded.

Fine if she wants that I din't say another word and neither asked who the guy was?while inside I was having lots of questions I wanted to know what happened but she just told me to talk later and I agreed damnit.

I stared at them and left without second glance just running down stairs until I reached door but uncle's voice stopped me.

"Hey someone is in hurry?"he asked me while coming infront of me and staring at me intently he has always been my favourite.

"Calm down,"he told me in his calm voice I know he has been through so much yet he never shows it he always has a smile on his face and smootth voice which calms everyone of us.

"What's happening up?whose Iqbal?"I asked him and he looked lost in thoughts instead of replying to me.

Why was everyone hiding things from me now??

*****
Any predictions??Whose Iqbal?
