Over-looked Love

CHAPTER-32

Tuba's POV:

"Ready ? " Dad asked as I sat in the car . "Let's go , have dinner and leave for the airport . " mom said . I had chicken oats soup with some chips . Then I changed into a pair of trousers and a porous shirt . I packed up my back pack and grabbed some chocolate bars and cheese triangles . "Mummy , you gonna tag along to the airport right ? " I asked . "No Tuba , it's really late and Salwa will also start crying . " she said . Dad and Osaid came along with me to the airport . 

"Be good and do not trouble your grandma . Home to school and school to home straight , no wandering around . Take this phone , it has a sim and call us up once you land . " Dad said handing over mom's phone . Dad boarded the luggage at the counter while me and Osaid spoke for a while . There was an announcement that the flight which was supposed to leave for Bangalore was delayed for three hours . 

"Let's go back home and come after a while . " Osaid said . "Are you mad ? It will take almost 2 hours for us to go home . " I said . They stayed with me for the next one hour . They looked very tired and sleepy so I said "You guys leave , I will be fine here . " 

"You sure ? " dad asked as I nodded . "If you wanna take a nap then go to the women salah area , but keep an alarm so that you won't miss your flight . " dad said and went away . 

"Okay ! Another two hours . " I thought as I looked here and there for some thing to eat . I got a chocolate pastry and a tuna fish sandwich . Though it was 1 in the night , I was literally ready to eat up the whole bakery . I felt really sleepy but couldn't go to the salah area as I knew no matter how many alarms I keep I won't wake up . So I slept on the couches kept in the waiting area . 

As I was about to doze off , I heard someone speak in a pure American accent . "Hi am Emma . " she said offering her hand . "Hello am tuba . " I replied taking her hand . "I saw that you were alone so thought of giving you some company . " she said with a smile . "Give me some company or you yourself wanted a company ? " I asked as she began to laugh . 

"Came over for studies ? " I asked . "Umm no ,  business trip . Am a business woman . " she said . "Nice , you look quite young . " I said . We spoke for a while and I was feeling really sleepy so asked her "Would you mind waking me up when it's time ? " I asked as she nodded with a smile . 

"Wake up , it's time . " Emma said shaking me up . We boarded the flight and took our seats . A man sat beside me which made me uncomfortable so I had to switch seats with someone . I sat beside a girl of around 20 years of age . The flight took off and I started watching "Everything Everything " in the small monitor in front of me . I didn't realize when I dozed off . 

I woke up to the pleasant voice of the air hostess "Veg or non-veg ma'am ? " she asked . "Non-veg . " I said rubbing my eyes . I had an omelette topped with salted mushrooms and potato wedges , bun spread with salted butter and a glass of mushakkal ( cocktail juice ) .  

After having the breakfast , I went to the washroom , freshened up and applied light make up . "Fasten your seat belts as we will be landing now . " the co-pilot announced . 

I switched on mom's phone and rung up dad as I was waiting in the baggage counter waiting for my luggage . "Assalamu alaikum , I reached safely , waiting for the luggage . " I said .

"Walekum assalam , that's good . Your maternal grandpa and maternal grandma are waiting for you outside . " dad said . I had to disconnect the call as I saw my baggage approaching down the belt . 

"Nanu (grandpa ) " I said as I stepped out and started waving a hand . We loaded the baggages into the trunk and headed home . 

"Back to India manh . " I texted Nayeem . We reached home after a tiresome journey . I had lunch and went to take a nap . I was so exhausted that I woke up the next morning . 

I took a bath , ate my breakfast and started unpacking . "When is your family returning ? " Nayeem asked . "11th October , after a week . " I replied . I rung up Zara and said "Hi , am in Bangalore . "

"Why so early ? What about your family . " she asked . 

"The shitty school people had called up and asked to attend the classes . My family will come next week . " I replied . 
"You staying all alone ? " she questioned . 

"Yes babes , all alone , just me in this lonely room , sleeping alone on this queen size bed , wanna join ? " I asked seductively . 

"Eww stop , I ain't a lesbian and am Zara not Mustafa so stop your hoeness . " she said as I burst out laughing .   "How was your trip ? " she asked . "It was good though I missed Mustafa a lot . " I said my tone dropping . "I was so busy with his positive soul that I didn't realize that he had a negative soul as well . " I added . 

"Forget it Tuba , it was just Over-looked Love , not your fault . " she replied . "And it's a waste that you came a week early cause we have school only tomorrow and then government holidays till the next Monday . " she said . We spoke for a while and I disconnected the call .

Nayeem had posted a pic of him showing his biceps to which I replied "Go away dog they are just fake , all filled with supplements 😂😂 . " 

"Oh just shut your ass , it's my natural body . " he defended . "What you doing ? " I asked . "Just came from college and was trying to take a nap but was interrupted by a bitch 😜 " he replied . "I am bored manh . " I texted . "Call ? " he asked as he gave his number . 

"Hello . " I said . "Hi . " a rough voice spoke up . "Eww your voice sucks just like your face . " I teased . "Hearing your voice my ears have started to bleed . " he said laughing . "Bleh bleh bleh . " I mimicked . "Were you a witch in your last birth ? " he asked . 

"No am a Muslim and I don't believe in last births . " I said trying to hide my sarcasm . "Your parents have sent you to study and you spent your time talking with boys and all . " he said as I cut him short and said "Shut up you ass , these kind of words sound bitter from your lips . " 

"Well , my lips wound sound sweet if they get a taste of yours . " he said as I gasped . "What did you just say ? " I asked laughing . "Nothing nothing . " he said laughing harder . "You are such a corrupted being . " I said . "After all your company ma'am . " he replied . 

"Acha listen , I gotta go , my grandma is screaming on the top of her lungs . Bye . " I said and disconnected the call . 

As I was studying , dad rung up and said "Pack your bag and get ready for school tomorrow . "

"I am in 10th grade Abbu , stop treating me like Ada . " I said as he laughed . 

I packed up my bag and kept the gifts which I had bought for Zara , Salomi , Hania and Ravita Ma'am . After having dinner , I texted Nayeem for a while and dozed off .
