The Three Musketeers

Chapter 6

Riha

Maryam ran from the store.... So when we reached home... She stood there shooting daggers at me and ayesha....

And clearly I didn't wait to hear her lecture so I just made a poker face and continued setting the kitchen again she came infront of mee..

So I asked her what?? She started her complains that how embarrassed she is blahh blahh blah and how she is gonna face him again... Urghh I don't even know his name what do i do...........

"Arish" I replied.

She stared at me and asked "what?"

"His name" I replied casually

"is that supposed make me feel better"

"no just answering your complains and listen before you start your lecture let me tell you we ARE NOT SORRY FOR WHAT WE DID... it was fun😊"

She gave up on us... And went to sleep maybe... After all she had a long day😁

At dinner I told them that my duty starts tomorrow... And I won't be home until night..

" that late?" they both shot at once

" Yeah!!! I always come that late and leave early... That was the main reason my apartment used to look like a mess"

"ohh!" Maryam asked..

"Where do you work" Ayesha inquired me

"hospital" I replied casually

"Whatt!!" they both yelled at a same time startling me..

"Whatt, what I am doc"

They both shared a look and ayesha started saying "never thought of you as a doctor type so... We were just shocked"

"whatever"

"I have an interview tomorrow and I was hoping you would drop me" Maryam said looking at me

"well.. When is your interview"

"at 10 am"

"I won't be able to go with you and even Ayesha doesn't know around" I saw Ayesha and she shrugged.

"Hmmm then i think i will manage somehow" she got up with our plates to do the dishes.. I helped in cleaning up..

Then she sat with her laptop doing some work maybe related to her tomorrow's interview....

Well.... I can't just leave her on her own...

So I am going to dig my own grave.....

Guess what I went to meet Arish...
I knocked thrice and he opened the door and slammed it shut on my face....
I know he is furious on the stunt I pulled before.... But I am not gonna admit my mistake😁...

And again I started banging his door...but again no response.... Me being the stubborn person. .. I stood rooted in my place waiting for him to open the door after 15 minutes of torture he opened door and I quickly slipped in before he could shut it...
But he came grabbed me and threw me out of his home *aur yaha gayi meri self respect 😢* when he was about close the door

" It's about maryam" I yelled... I knew this would grab his attention and it did..

He opened the door and pulled me in and asked "what about her? "

So I explained him everything.. And at last he asked me "in short you want me to become her driver"

"you can say it like that too.. 😊"

"what will I get in return"

"in return?"

"or you thought I would do it free of cost. huhh. And why would I do it... Without my profit?? "

"why ka kya matlab... Ek gareeb ki madad ho jayegi... No profit no loss
And tume Iss gareeb ki dua milegi aur kya chahiye"

"tumhari dua nahi chahiye....but In return you will do whatever I say!! DEAL "

"okay deal" I know I am gonna regret this later..

"what time"

" I will text you the timings.... Shabba khair"

Now I have to convince maryam that's it...

Maryam

Ree came to me and said that she has asked her friend to pick me up...
I protested her that I will manage... But that girl is stubborn... She even told me that even her friend is a lecturer there...
So I would be going with her...

She said her name was zuha.... And she takes literature.. Interesting!!

In the morning Ree had already gone to duty... So it was just me as dummy sleeps till noon

I ate my breakfast....after that biggest struggle.... 'WHAT TO WEAR' I went through all my clothes and got the perfect dress

Now I was waiting for her friend to pick me up..

And then  there was a *knock*

I opened the door to find Mr handsome standing there...

I kept staring him... Until he spoke
"you ready.. Lets go"
That's when I knew Ree set me up... AGAIN.
How am I supposed to sit with him.. When I can't even face him

ONE THING IS SURE... THIS RIDE IS GONNA BE LOOONNG..

A/N :  what will our Maryam do?? Now🤔🤔
