Our Destined Connection

11. A beautiful Memory

Zoya's POV

"Weird!" I heard Hakeem bhaiya exclaim while I was taking Navidu back to his classroom.

Navid is the most cutest kid in school... He is in pre grade 2... He started crying because one child pushed him... So bought him to the hall to show him the decorations and distract him... Somehow he stopped crying.

"What is weird bhaiya?" I asked while I went and stood beside him holding Navidu by his hand.

"It's not what... It should be who is weird!" He said irritated.

"Why bhaiya? What happened?"

"It's that weird Ayaan... Don't know what happened to him." He muttered.

"Who's Ayaan?"

"Wahi... My friend alias My Boss!" He said.

"Mr. Khan?!" I asked.

"Ha wahi.." he said nonchalantly.

"But Aapne Tu Kaha ta that Woh Nahi aayegi (You told that he would not come nah)." I asked remembering what bhaiya told the other day.

"Ha... Kaha ta ( I told so) because I was not sure." He replied.

"Acha toh (Really)... Can I add his speech in the agenda?" I asked.

"Here I am confused about his weird behaviour and tum he Uski speech ki padi hai (you are bothered about his speech)... Let me tell you one thing clear... He will not give a speech besides I don't wherever he has gone now." He said irritated.

"Okay then, I am sorry." I apologized.

"Sorry?!" He asked confused. "Why do you need to ask sorry... If you are asking that thinking that I'm mad at you... Uski koi zaroorat Nahi hai (You don't need to) okay..." He said misunderstanding the reason for my apology.

"No bhaiya not for that... There is a reason for this apology but you'll understand the reason later." I said and walked away with Navidu before I slip the beans.

"What's wrong with people... Aaj sab weird kyu behave karte hai (Why is everyone behaving weird today)!" I heard Hakeem bhaiya exclaim.

I'm sorry bhaiya but I can't say you the reason for my apology right now.

I handed over Navidu to his class         (pre grade 2) Miss. Shazna.

"Thanks a lot Zoya! I don't how to stop his crying with all these last minute fuss..." She said while eyeing me her class kids who were all standing and chattering... Some were perfectly dressed for their performance while some were in their casuals.

"That's okay... I understand - Do you need any help?" I asked.

"Your help was more than enough dear... I can manage... Only two or three are left.." She said while I nodded and came out of the class.

As I was walking along the corridor when I heard someone calling out my name... I turned to see was, there I saw Ayaana Di.

"Assalamu Alaikum!" She greeted me while walking towards me once I turned to face her.

"Walaikum Salam Di!" I replied smiling.

"How come you are here?" I asked surprised.

"I came here to attend Ahaana's welcoming function."

"Really? So Ahaana is joining here?!" I asked excited.

"Yeah she is... So aap Yaha teach Karti hai(You teach here)?" She asked.

"Yeah." I replied shortly.

"I didn't expect to meet you here... Anyway I couldn't thank you properly that day - I was worried about Ahaana... But that was so kind of you to help-"
