Inaya's POV
It kind of hurts my ego but I just let him carry the suitcase and show me the room. He was walking beside me and let me tell you this house is a mansion like I don't know how will I get use to these long corridors.The only sound around was screeching of wheels of the suitcase and faint songs.
"We have not been introduced" he spoke taking my attention to him and he was smirking. This human hmmmphh.
"Yeah"
"Rayyan! Rayyan Ahmad" he stopped and forwarded his hand for a handshake which I ignored and rolled my eyes.
"Inaya! Inaya Ameen" I copied his fake accent and started walking further.
"So do you have a boyfriend" i furrowed my eyebrows And mentally smashed his face for that smirk was not leaving.
"Isn't it a little personal question to ask for the first meeting"
"Is it?"he raised his eyebrows to which I just shook my head.
For a minute he didn't say anything maybe comprehending what to say next because I was showing no interest in talking to him.
"It's your first time here,do you want a tour around?" He spoke with a smile not the SMIRK.
"Humaira showed me around already"
"Idiot I am not talking about the house,I am talking about Karachi"
"Oh so you think I can travel with a person I am meeting for the first time?"
We reached the room oh have I told you about my love for these old hawelis and mansions. I love the room.
There was a king sized bed in the centre with an attached bathroom on the right side and big windows on left which shows the beautiful garden. There was a vanity beside the door.
"Why not? I mean I met a girl in India who showed me around with her friends and she was kind of comfortable. What was her name?..... I can't remember" I rolled my eyes again.
"Because she was in her own country so she must have felt safe there"
"Ohkayy anyways if you want anything, you can ask anyone here" he pulled ohkay a lot with a glint of disappointment in his eyes. He walked towards the door.
"Rayyan"
"Hmm" he turned around
"Pay me back"
"Huh"
"Give me fifteen minutes,I'll just freshen up" he blinked his eyes until getting what I meant.
He smiled and nodded and turned around to leave.
I smiled to myself and shook my head. Is it right to go alone with him?
"Inaya" He was leaning on the door frame.
"Welcome to Pakistan" he smiled before leaving me exited.
.........
I wore a white tee with a denim jacket and jeans. I put on some mascara and lipstick and let my hair fall on my shoulder.I checked myself in the mirror and took my bag before heading downstairs.
Rayyan was not in sight so maybe he is already outside. I silently prayed that nobody should notice me but to my disappointment,kainaat stopped me.
"Appi do you want something?" She asked with a genuine smile.
"No, thank you I was just.."
"Are you going somewhere?" She cut me off looking at my bag.
"Yeah! I have to buy something" I cursed Rayyan under my breath.
"Wait! I'll ask someone to take you to the mall" she was going to call someone but here comes the saver. Not him.
"Kainaat She is going with Rayyan. He is going to buy something so I asked inaya to accompany him" Humaira said it all in one breath and kainaat nodded and said her greetings to me before going somewhere.
"Rayyan is waiting for you outside in his car. Go!" Humaira told me and I said allah hafiz to her before going out.
As I was walking,my phone beeped. It was a message from Amira about have I reached safely.
I was replying and I bumped into something hard but I heard a deep male voice which cleared it was rather SOMEONE.
"I am sorry" I said getting a little uneasy by how close we were and his hand on my waist.
He immediately backed of and removed his hand once coming back to earth. There was another guy with him whom I didn't notice till now.
They looked the same age as rayyan. The one I bumped into looked more mature with his beard and formal wear whereas the other one looked more boyish if I say.
"Watch out Woman" he spoke calmly and his Adam apple moved and I gulped the lump in my throat getting a little nervous by his deep voice.
" I am really sorry actually I didn't see you coming" I spoke without making eye contact.
"How would you while using your phone" the other guy said with mischievous smile.
"My fault"
"By the way,who are you?" The 'boyish' guy asked and the other one gave me a glare from head to toe and I shifted a little in nervousness. Why?
"Inaya! Rida's father's friend's daughter" I replied with a smile not looking at the other guy.
"Oh we are shehry's friends. My name is shahyan and this is Mustafa"he introduced himself and his friend.
"Nice to meet you... both. Actually I am getting late, I have to go somewhere. Will see you around" why.did.i.take.a.pause.between?
"Okay. See ya" I just nodded and moved outside the main gate just to see Rayyan leaning on his car,arms crossed.
I would be lying if I say he doesn't look handsome. Any girl would love to be his girlfriend or wife.
I shook my thoughts away,took a deep breath and walked towards him.
He took my appearance and opened the gate for me once I reached near him.
"What took you so long?" He asked as I sat inside.
"Kainaat stopped me but Humaira came to rescue then I just bumped into someone" I uttered and he closed the door before walking to driver seat and sitting inside.
He buckled his seat belt and started the engine.
"Rayyan say sorry for being a coward" I mumbled with a smirk and he let out a laugh.
"I am sorry Ms Inaya Ameen"he said chuckling at the end.
"Yeah fine" I said with no interest but laughed mentally.
Karachi, here we come.
