Their Encounter With Fate

Chapter 24

After Shabaz left, she sat with her family, she saw their face which had a genuine smile having her there, the princess of the home came back to them.

"Bhai, I missed you," Noor said while sitting in the swing in the terrace, in return, he hugged her, but he could sense she is not happy like before.

"Noor, are you happy?" He asked her, she looked up at him from his arms, No, I am not happy, my thoughts bothering me, she wanted to tell.

"Yes, I am happy, but why did you ask?"

"I could sense, Noor, in fact, am your brother, I know you better than anyone" he seriously told her.

"It's just, I missed you all, and Maryam, I didn't speak to her after my nikah" she replied to his worries, hearing the one special name from his sister made him smile.

"Okay, why didn't you speak to her?" he questioned her, he too wanted to know her whereabouts, after his sister's wedding he didn't see her, and he feels like there is no other way to see her like always.

"Actually, my mobile was here," she told and she realised, she has to speak to her best friend, "Bhai, I'm going to the room, I need to speak to her" and she left leaving her brother who also wanted to speak to his sister's best friend badly, though he can't.

Noor dialled Maryam's number, and it said switched off, she badly wanted to speak to her. She laid down on her bed, I missed you so much my precious bed.

Her thoughts drifted to her husband, she felt bad for shouting at him, he is her husband and he has the right to hold her but circumstances made her shout at him.

Shabaz couldn't sleep with all the thoughts playing in his head, even though it's been two days of their marriage, he missed her. With her thoughts, sleep took over him.

*************

Noor sat on the chair in the living room with her mobile in her hand, she tried to call Maryam but switched off, it been a month Noor is trying to call her but no answer.

There is no progress in their relationship as husband and wife even after the month of their marriage. Shabaz wanted to ask her questions which was in his mind from the time he entered her room. But due to lack of communication between them, he couldn't ask her, she usually avoids him.

Noor is restless, why her mobile is switched off? What happened to her, Maryam is not someone who keeps the anger inside her too long.

"Shabaz, can you take me to one place tomorrow if you are free," she asked him hesitantly when both laid to sleep, he nodded.

Next morning, both left to the place which Noor asked him to take her.
Both of them reached their destination, it took them only half an hour to reach there, Shabaz saw a two stored beautifully designed house, he is confused about why she bought him here.

Noor went ahead leaving him behind, and he followed her, she pressed the bell, after a few seconds, a lady opened the door, seeing Noor her face widened and eventually bought a smile on the face, but I have seen her before, but where?, Shabaz thought.

"Noor? What a surprise, come inside"

"Assalam Alaikum Aunt" she greeted entering inside, whoever she called aunt also replied to her greeting, but both of them forgot that someone is also outside. Shabaz entered though they forgot to call him inside.

"Shabaz, come inside" Aunt asked him to come, but he is confused, how did she know me?

She greeted him, told him to sit, he smiled at her, "I feel like I have seen you before," he told her and she smiled.
