Saleem P.O.V

I woke up quite very early today because of My client nasir his getting married soon and needed me to design and supervise the building for him I took a shower usually I don't do breakfast at home since they don't even make it together with me expect if halima is around I wore my sky blue kaftan with white cap and shoes and match it up with a blue and white wristwatch I took off baba isn't around so I didn't have to go inside the house since after what happened umma doesn't speak to me but it still doesn't stop me from greeting her anytime we come across each other I drove off in my white BMW I first went to dreams chicken & fries took my usual and went straight to my small company my staff greeted me all and as always I answer with a smile I ate my breakfast and went to the conference room where my client was waiting we talk about the design and the amount to spend considering the time of the wedding will be in the next 5months I decided to make sure the building is ready in the next 2 or 3 months approximately I called my workers handling the project we talk through and I made sure all the things required for the project were ordered from Japan and china and thankfully because of me being they regularly customer the items will be delivered within 2weeks nothing could beat that joy of being independent nobody to tell you what to do how to do it or even give you orders around my staff are like family I treated them equally

I didn't know I was going to see zakiya again after seeing her around the school environment when I visited halima but unfortunately after my second visit I got to know that they were close friends and roommate she introduced us and I was happy to see her again and even got to know her name like we've known each other for years I felt a strong connection with her around me my heart was racing since she came and sat down opposite me I asked her and we talked for sometime and it's like she isn't someone who talk too much while staring at her I felt happy getting to know her and seeing she's my sister's friend even made things easier for me I can see her anytime I wish to but without her knowing that I was admiring her since the day I first saw I will keep it on the lowkey for now I will confess what I feel when she's more matured and a graduate for now I don't even know what I feel I just know that she's stuck into my head and I like her I know it sounds strange but I couldn't help myself when I saw it she just took my heart with her and here I was thinking about her nonstop she was also deep in thought I don't know what she could be so lost into so I teased her and that laughed oh my god I can't even say how I felt when she laughed but she looked more pretty whenever she laughed.

Zakiyi P.O.V

Meeting saleem was the best thing that has ever happened to me I know I sound crazy seeing someone once and feel a strong connection with him it's not something anyone could believe it happened in reality but it happened to both of us I wanted to see him again but how I don't really know i I compose myself and focus on my SSCE exams and he came visiting during the weekend we spend most of the time together we even got to know each other a little more and form that I got to know and see him closely he was friendly like to joke and teased around and his carefree about life and has such a simple lifestyle and personality we had so many things in common time was moving fast and during those moments I felt special because he made me feel that way even though it's was from a friendly gesture he always encouraged me to study hard and make my parents proud but there's something more to him than I see because I observe him closely I mean he doesn't speak much but he  eyes says everything he couldn't say to me the way he looks at me or even stared at me when am not looking was more than friendship but I can't just be straightforward and ask him so I let it be as time was moving we were getting close and enjoying each other's company his last visit was few days to our exams he asked me some questions about my view on relationship and the kind of man I want to marry because he isn't into dating because his more like a marriage type of man I respect that more about him since then we didn't each other maybe because he doesn't want to distract me from my studies but after our exams he came to our graduation and it was sweet of him he gifted me a phone and a necklace I couldn't thank him enough and a note was attached to the gift box

   Beautiful angel here is my graduation gift to you and there's a phone inside with my number saved I hope to hear from you after you leave here and hope to see you once more I have so many things to say but just waiting for the right moment and it feels like its here congratulations on your graduation

It was nice of him I couldn't be more happy than keeping in touch with him and after reaching home I showed my mum the phone and plugged into charge I saved halima's number also with some of our class mate yay Umar and aunty sadiya his wife I even open WhatsApp immediately I open messages came through and it was from a number saved as Albyn noor on my phone I didn't know who it belongs to at first so I ignored all the messages till I got a call from the same number and I picked just hearing his voice I knew he was the one we talked for almost 2hours and laughed we said our goodnight and I slept with so much happiness thinking about how someone could be so loving and caring like him but what caught my attention later on was why he saved his number as albyn Noor on my phone well the name sounds great but why he did that I can't say and that was how it all started we became more than close to each other but he never said anything about him falling in love with me but he did said he liked me and being around me all the time maybe because he wasn't a dating type of guy I spend my time chatting with halima and I visit her like once in a week she does the same thing also most of the time I see him around their house and he will offer to drop me home during our preparation for leaving for school he was there all along taking us shopping and keeping us update about the Visa and everything else when the Visa came out he gift me apple laptop for school stuff and video call i still couldn't understand why he was being more nice and more caring to me all the time not that I don't feel the same way about him but he has already made it clear that he wasn't a dating type of a man and I understand why so I told aunty sadiya about the whole situation and how it has been confusing me she advised me and told me to be calm about it and let him keeping doing what his doing from what she understand is that his in love with me but doesn't know how to say it so his using the other way around to show me and I understand it also that I should keep praying for the best maybe it will work out when the time its right for both of us but she really admired the fact that he isn't a dating type of guy who will want to waste my energy and time on him and the so called dating, after we went to school we video call alot of times and as always he doesn't fail to make me laugh and smile so hard I was scared of the feelings I was having for him I was afraid to make it obvious to him that I was head over heels for him so I endure all of it and kept praying for both my studies and future after then he won't believe what happened hmm
