Their Encounter With Fate

Chapter 32

Noor grinned seeing Maryam's message. My dear Maryam, tomorrow we are coming, she happily said to herself and thought about it.

Her thoughts distracted by the call of her husband.

"Someone forgot her poor husband," he said on the other side, Noor laughed hearing him.

"Yes, my poor husband," she said in between her laughs.

"When are you coming back, Shabaz," she asked him sadly, she is missing him badly.

"InshaAllah, soon, wait for me," he said smiling.

Noor told him about Maryam's dad agreed to the proposal, and they are going to Maryam's place tomorrow. She hangs up the call when someone knocked on the door.

Bilal entered her room, and she narrowed her eyes at him, seeing him in her room at this hour.
"Bhai, you didn't sleep?" she asked him when he sat on the side of the bed facing her and he answered "No".

"So, tomorrow we both are going to her place," she said after a while, and he looked up smiling sheepishly.

"Someone is blushing here, oh my Allah, what am I seeing?" she is making fun of him and he glared at her.

She made fun of him till he ran out of her room, she laughed her heart out seeing her brother like a love-struck puppy.

"I am ready" she yelled standing outside his room, "Coming" he replied.

"You took almost an hour to get ready, being a girl I didn't take so much time" Noor complained seeing him coming out of his room but he ignored her comment and walked forward, she too ran behind him.

"Not fair Bhai, I was waiting for you outside your room for more than 10 minutes, and all you did is went forward not even taking a glance at me" she complained when he entered the kitchen to take a glass of water.

"Mom, look at him" she winced when he again ignored her, he is taking his revenge on her for making fun of him. Fathima laughed at her, which made Noor more furious. Bilal winked at his mom.

"Nobody loves me here" she angrily stomped her leg and went to the living room, Bilal and Fathima followed her grinning.

"You" pointing a finger at her brother, "why are you ignoring me" he drank water without replying to her.

"I hate you" this time he laughed at her angry face.

"I am not coming with you, and I will tell Maryam not to marry you" she smirked at him when she saw him narrowing his eyes at him.

"Who told you, I ignored you? I was busy drinking water" he said going towards her, hugging her he said "I love you, angry bird" and she glared at him.

"Mom, look at him, he loves me only when he needs something," she told hitting him, Fathima laughed seeing them acting like kids.

"Stop fighting and don't forget that you both have to go there" Fathima reminded them, and both stood up to leave, saying Salam both left their home.

"Bhai, stop the car" seeing the shop, Noor told him to stop the car.

"Get chocolates from there" pointing the shop she told him, and he glared at her. "Not for me, idiot, we shouldn't go to her place empty handed" and he nodded.

"You guessed the right one, she loves Ferrero Rocher," Noor said seeing the chocolate box in his hand, he smiled sideways, I know she loves this.

He drove to the direction of Maryam's home. He is nervous but happy, finally, I am going to see her, Maryam, you are going be mine only mine, he shook his head smiling on his thoughts, but it didn't go unnoticed by his sister. She made fun of him for the rest of the journey.
