Their Encounter With Fate

Chapter 28

Noor sat inside the car, Shahad drove to the direction of Noor's house, it's been 3 days since Shabaz left to London, she is missing him, she never thought she would fall in love him this far, each day is like a million years to her, seeing her sad and dull face, her mother in law felt sad and told Shahad to take her to her home that she might feel bit ease being with her family.

"Assalam Alaikum everyone" she chirped seeing them, and they replied to her salam. Everyone started to talk and her family is happy seeing their princess at home.

Noor's mom quickly prepared lunch for them, and all sat together to have it. Shahad said salam to everyone and went towards the main door to exit, Noor went behind him, seeing her he said " I will miss you bhabi" and she chuckled, she knows already he is feeling low without his brother and now her. "I will come soon, idiot".

"So much drama going on here" Bilal said going towards them, they rolled their eyes.

"Just tell that you are jealous of seeing our brother-sister love" Shahad poked his tongue out at him and Noor giggled hearing him.

"Jealous my foot," Bilal said rolling his eyes and Shahad laughed, after their little bickering session he left to his home.

Noor spent little time with her mom, both mother-daughter had their own time after a long time, later Noor left to her room. Taking her mobile she tried to call Maryam, but she didn't answer.

She checked her inbox and Whatsapp, but no messages, maybe he is busy she thought, she is badly missing him though she came to her family, to freshen her mind she went to the terrace, and she saw her brother standing there, she smiled seeing him.

"I knew you would come here," he said seeing her coming, both started their conversation, they both missed this badly.

Noor got a call interfering their conversation, seeing the caller ID, both smiled, Bilal hid his smile from her, Noor picked the call in front of him, and he felt happy for that.

"Assalam Alaikum Maryam"
Bilal silently watched his sister who is speaking to the one whom he carries in his heart without anyone knowing.

"What? Really? Why didn't you tell me before?" He heard her say, Bilal, is curious now, what it might be.

"Oh, let's see how it goes, InshaAllah, don't worry, everything will be alright" now Bilal is restless.

"Okay, I will call tomorrow. Take care" Noor cut the call, saw Bilal watching her and she raised her brows, "whose call was that?" He knew who it is still asked her.

"Its Maryam"

"Oh, why did she call now, at this hour?"

"I had called her before coming here, seeing my missed call she called me back," she said sitting in the swing.

"You were shocked speaking to her. Is everything alright?" he asked her and she looked at him confusingly thinking why he is behaving suddenly odd and asking all of this which should not concern him, maybe he is just worried, she thought.

"She got a proposal," she said, "WHAT?" Bilal all of a sudden shouted and Noor startled hearing him, "what happened?" She asked him confused.

"Nothing just shocked hearing that she got a proposal, she is young right, why suddenly her family thinking of marriage, this is so early" He went on blabbering and she glared at him.

"What did you say bhai? Does it mean I am old, that I got married?" she glared at him and he bit his tongue, Allah, what did I utter? Now, this angry bird will eat me alive.

"I was just pulling your leg," he said to her laughing though his heart is bleeding.

"Noor, so she is getting married?" He asked again after a while, now she is irritated by him asking many questions, "No its just a proposal, her dad asked her opinion if she is okay then they will proceed"

"Did she say yes?" This time she looked directly at him, "any problem bhai?" She asked him and she is getting confused and irritated.

"Nothing Noor, just curious to know, that's it," he said rubbing back of his neck.

"She didn't answer yet, she is confused about it, and also asked me to meet her tomorrow"

"I will drop you," he said before she could even ask him to drop her tomorrow, this time she is more confused and shocked seeing Bilal's behaviour. What happened to him suddenly?

"Noor, I am going to the room, even you should leave from here, it's getting dark," before she could ask anything, he said this bringing her back from her thoughts, she nodded and left with him.

Entering inside the room, she got another call, which eventually lit her face with a beautiful smile, she spoke to her husband, she told him what Maryam said to her and also told her bhai's behaviour.

"Did he really ask so many questions to you about her?"

"Yes"

"Maybe he just asked, why are you stressing over it in your little brain, wifey," he said and she thought for a while and said, "No, he usually doesn't ask so many questions, he is a kind of person who doesn't Interfere in anyone's matter unless it concern him"

"Oh, that means, Noor use your brain, he likes her" Shabaz grinning on other side of the call. Hearing him it literally shook the hell out of her, "No, what are you talking, Shabaz? She said rolling her eyes and disbelieving it.

"What if my calculations are right?"

"It won't be"

"However you are meeting her tomorrow,  we can find out, so let's make a plan, I will tell you what to do with him" and then he told what to do tomorrow, and she listened to him.

"Should we ask Shahad about it? Whether he likes any girl?" Noor asked him.

"I don't think he knows it, Bilal knows how Shahad is, he can't keep any secret with himself, so he might have skipped this from him" Noor nodded for what Shabaz told was right.

"Then should I tell Shahad about our plan?" Noor asked him.

"No, please, if you don't want to ruin it, then don't" Noor laughed hearing him, and Shabaz too joined her.

"Dear husband"

"Hmm"

"I don't miss you" she laughed and he cut the call, she felt sad for saying that, within a second she got a video call, and she smiled.

They fought, laughed, seeing each other, distance doesn't matter to them, all they need is each other at the end of the day.
