Unexpected Love

Chapter seven

"how come, I mean why did you..." but before I could finish my sentence my bedroom door opened and the room lightened from the corridor light. I froze out of shock and was not sure what I was supposed to do.

"What are you two doing?"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I pushed Haroon back a little too hard in my state of shock and he fell on his back whilst a shuffled away from him and looked anywhere but at him. 

"Ouch" Haroon moaned.

My mum walked into the room and turned on the lights. She looked confused and puzzled looking at us. She moved towards Haroon and bent down next to him to make sure he was ok.

"Sadqa are you ok?" She asked whilst helping him up of the floor.

"I think so, I just clicked my back"  He stood up and started rolling his back. 

"That's good, now do you two want to explain what was happening in here when I came in?" my mum asked turning to me. I looked down feeling shy, I could feel my face heating up. Haroon sat back down next to my mum. 

"Sorry Khala jan, I was just trying to calm her down, she was panicking and shouting loudly in her room" What, he was not comforting me he was taking advantage of the situation and hugging me. I turned and gave him a glare,

"Stop lying, I was not shouting, and anyway whose fault is it that I am being like this?" I shout at him. He raises his hands in surrender and has a cocky smile on his face that is making me want to smack it right off. "Calm me down? you were trying to take advantage of the fact that I was panicking just to hug me and touch me you jerk" My mother clears her throat, Haroon's face goes red and he starts rubbing the back of his neck. I had forgotten my mother and spoke more than I should have.

"Tamanaha, what are you saying? and even if he hugged you why did you allow him to hug you? I thought I taught you better than this?" My mum tried to act as if she was angry, She turned to face Haroon and smacked his head lightly, "You said you would keep an eye on her to make sure she was ok, not take advantage of me allowing you to stay in her room, you are not married yet," Haroon started to laugh lightly,

"Sorry, Khala jan," He said sheepishly. Wait my mother just said we are not yet married, but Haroon said we are married. Huh, what is happening here?

"What do you mean we are not married yet, Haroon said we are already married," I asked all panicked. Did this jerk lie to me? Did he really take advantage of me and my memory loss?

"What? you told her?" My mum asked shocked turning to Haroon. Haroon let out a long sigh,

"I am having to apologise a lot tonight," He ran his hand through his hair, "Khala jan, honestly I had no intention of telling her" I look back and forth between my mother and Haroon, unable to make sense of what is happening and what the real story is. "I had no choice but to tell her, she got all panicked when she woke up and saw me in her room, she was shouting about how its haram and all and in a moment of frustration it slipped out and then I had to tell her everything," He explained to my mum. She patted his hand and looked apologetically at him. 

"Can you both stop all this nonsense and just tell me am I married or not? did you trick me?" I point at Haroon. My mum turns towards me and holds my hand,

"No sadqa, he didn't trick you, it's the truth," My mum shuffled closer to me on the floor and touched my face, "are you ok" I look at her worried face and just nod.
