Their Encounter With Fate

Chapter 10

I turned my face to the opposite, and I saw something else and not what I was keenly waiting.

Today my bhai is dropping me again, and we are stuck in the traffic like yesterday.

Everything repeated except the person whom I saw yesterday.
I was curious to know where I saw him, that's it and nothing else, my heart is convincing the mind.

The car halted near the college gate and bhai called me when I was about to go.

"Noor, I will come to pick you in the evening"

"Okay, bhai, I will leave."

But I felt someone's eye on me, I ignored it and walked faster.

Suddenly someone grabbed my hand while I am entering college gate.
My heart raced and I got scared.

"Baby, where are you rushing? Lets chit chat, come", the one who grabbed my hand told, and yes he is none other than Fazil.

My full body started to shiver and I prayed to almighty to save me from this idiot. He always used to come behind me and annoy me, but never thought he would stoop this low.

"Hey, you idiot, leave my hand" I barked at him.

"Ouch, it hurts baby, why can't you accept me?" He faked as tears falling,  I wanted to slap him, but I can't he held my hand tightly.

"Fazil, leave me you stupid,"

"I never heard anyone calling my name sweetly like you," he told and came closer to me, I got scared, I prayed that at least Maryam would come to rescue me from this psycho like always but am shocked seeing a person who furiously came forward to hit Fazil.

Shabaz's POV:

After waking up with a smile, I walked to the mosque with Shahad for Fajr prayer.

Burdah Al-Aslami reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Give glad tidings to those who walk to the mosque in darkness, for it will be completely light on the Day of Resurrection.”

While walking, I narrated this hadith to Shahad.

After praying Fajr, I made dua for my mother's and siblings happiness, and prayed to Allah to forgive my dad if he unknowingly or knowingly done any mistake in this world and also to lighten up his grave.

Thanked Allah for making me see her once more when I had lost hope.

Yes, I saw her yesterday when I was stuck in the traffic.

"Yes, Sameer, I will reach in 10 minutes, stuck in the traffic" I informed my PA in the phone and ended the call.

I am annoyed and I hate waiting for long in the traffic, and suddenly I caught off guard, and I am confused whether it's my imagination?

My eyes met with those hazel eyes, and she too saw me, and suddenly lowered her gaze.

And the best part is, this time I not only seen those hazel eyes but her pretty face too, MashaAllah, what a beauty!
Noor, the light is all over her face.

Astaghfirullah, what I am thinking!

Honk honk, my thoughts are disturbed, and traffic got cleared but I where is her car?

I drove ahead, saw the glimpse of her car and took that direction leaving the opposite direction to my office.

After 5 mins of the journey, her car stopped in front of the college. So she is studying here.

She went inside and I too left to my office with a warming smile.

Alhamdulillah!

After that incident, her face is not leaving my eyes and heart.

"Assalam Alaikum, Mom" saying salam I left to office hoping to meet her today in the same traffic.
I hate traffic yet I love to wait in the traffic to see her.

Love changes everything, mind whispered.

I am in love? heart asked.

No, this is wrong.

Insha Allah, I will ask her hand in a halal way and make her mine.

I smiled for thinking all these, and drove, and like yesterday stuck in the traffic, but my heart is hoping to see her once more, but this time I only saw her car going ahead. But I'm stuck in the traffic.

I drove fast as I could reach near her, but she already came out of the car and heading to college.

I stopped near the parking area, I don't know what made me go behind her, but heart told me to go. And yes I went,

And the scene in front of me made my blood boil, clenching my teeth I went furiously to hit him hard for touching her in his filthy hands.

"How dare you?" I hit hard on his stomach.

"Who the hell are you" that idiot question me, how dare him to raise his voice after doing this and I hit him hard.

I heard her gasp and she is shivering seeing the sight in front of her. By the time, the watchman came running hearing the noise and he handled it.
He took this idiot to the office.

"Sorry, calm down, he is gone," I told her softly and I got more angry on that idiot seeing tears in her eyes.

I thanked Allah, for making me come inside so that I could rescue her or else what would have happened.

She drank the water which she carried in the bag and sat near the tree.
And some of her friends came, so I excused myself.

Sitting inside my cabin, my mind still wondering what is she doing?

Now her teary eyes haunting me, and I want to hit him more for hurting her.

I will inform the college to remove him from the college for harassing her.

How dare him!

Why I am acting this way?

Am I  truly in love with her?
