Their Encounter With Fate

Chapter 9

Noor's POV:

I woke up from my deep slumber, but I remember yesterday night me and bhai speaking in the terrace but how did I end up here in my room.
After freshening up, I went downstairs to have breakfast with them.

"Bhai, I don't remember me sleeping in the room, we were talking in the terrace right?" I asked him sitting in the chair opposite to him, he is already sitting in the table unlike me being late.

"Idiot, you slept speaking and I had to carry you from there," Bhai told munching his breakfast.

"Sorry, bhai, I was tired maybe"

"Yes yes you should be sorry because I feel bad for him, his hands might be hurting carrying a fatty like you." Asif interfered in our conversion and I glared at him when mom and bhai laughed as if it is funny.

"Shut up, for your kind information I am not fat okay, and you too, it's not that funny to laugh"I shouted at them and deadly glared Asif, but bhai started to laugh.

I ignored them and started to have my breakfast not stopped glaring at my annoying young brother.

"Assalam Alaikum mom, I'm leaving to college"

"Wa Alaikum salam, take care, dear".

When I reached near the gate, bhai called me and said he will drop me to college because he has to go to the office, dad called him there.

"Bhai, do your hand hurts?" I asked him thinking Asif's words.

"My hand? Oh, don't tell me, you seriously took Asif's words" he started to laugh and glared at him.

"You are my baby sister, how will I get hurt while carrying you?" Bhai said lovingly and I smiled happily, prayed for his happiness and thanked Allah for blessing him as my brother.

We are stuck in the traffic, meanwhile, I texted Maryam saying bhai is dropping me.

I turned to the window and saw a car opposite to ours, and a man looking at me confusingly.

I lowered my eyes, but I remember that face, but how? Where did I see him?

Slowly I turned to see other side but I saw trees passing by, I was so lost in my thoughts didn't even realise traffic cleared and bhai drove ahead.

Saying salam and bidding bye to bhai, I left to my class, while walking to my class, my mind recalling that man's face which I feel like I have seen before.

Shrugging that thought away from my mind, I entered my class and saw my best friend already sitting there and yawning.

"Assalam Alaikum, so planning to sleep?"

"Wa Alaikum salam, Noorie. yes, babe, you read my heart," she said laughing and glared at her, started to laugh with her.

"Maryam, I saw a strange man today opposite to our car at the traffic, he was looking at me confusingly, I feel like I have seen him before," I told her remembering today's incident.

"Yeah? Who he might be? Maybe someone from your family" she told me and I'm sure he is not from my family.

"No, he is not. But my heart says I saw him before but mind refusing it."

"Is he handsome?" Maryam asked me laughing and stared at her like seriously?

"Okay okay, I was kidding, maybe you have seen him somewhere, leave it now. We always see hundreds of unknown people how will we remember them every day" she told me a fact and yes it's true.

"But Noorie, whoever it is but he won't be handsome has Shabaz," she told grinning and I laughed at her for always dreaming about her crush.

After praying isha, I went downstairs to sit with my family and chitchat. Like always mine and Asif's never-ending fights, mom threatening us and bhai laughing seeing us, and Dad runs to his room keeping his both hands to his ears. I love them, more than anything in this world.
And I could hear Maryam's word from my heart.

"And me?" pouting adorably.

And yes, I  love my best friend too.

Laughing, I went to my room and slept but the strange face is haunting me? Why?.

Maybe because I'm curious to know who that man is, and where I had seen him. Thinking about that sleep took over me.

But someone on the other side of the world is grinning and slept happily thinking of her.
