My mind was a mess and so was my heart. I drove out of the city toward the woods. My hair was flying as I refused to wear the helmet. I wanted to feel the harshness of the wind. I wanted to forget. I crossed the speed limit a while ago, I thought Ayan could complain but he didn't. He was quiet for the whole ride
we reached the place after almost an hour. I walked ahead while Ayan properly parked the bike and followed after me.
This place is my hideout. Away from the harshness and cruelties of the city. Away from all the fake people. The lake in front of us was so clean that I felt I was staring at the sky. It was surrounded by woods. Noori found this place when was camping with her friends. She brought us here the next and since this has been Our picnic spot too.
"How long are we going to stand here, "he asked, I broke out of my daze. I sat down on the cool grass and Ayan followed. I don't know why I brought him here I just did. When Ammar appeared out of the bl
he looked so cute sleeping, his face was calm like a baby. I was not staring at him I was just admiring his handsome face. I woke after three hours only to Ayan sleeping soundly next to me. he had an arm under his head and another one folded on his stomach. I quickly took a picture of him and saved it on my phone.You are creepy Anam.As usual, I ignored my inner voice and got up to a sitting position. Why does my inner voice always have to say the truth? It was past six, the sky was getting darker and the lake had a beautiful shadow of the evening sun going down._____________________________________________________________________________"Come on let's go, I am tired" I lead the way to the elevator. I invited him to come to my place. I still felt bad for earlier and I was going to be bored being alone at home."All you did the whole day was sleep and relax and you are tired "Ayan raised an eyebrow at me and I just shrugged
I am sleepy as hell. Last night after Ayan left I didn't finish the movie I just wrapped myself in blankets and dived in the ocean of thoughts It was really fun with Ayan. Honestly, I forgot why I was upset. He is such a good person to be with. The train of my thought shifted to the person who suddenly wanted to have chat with me after years. I really don't want to face him again, he just reminds me that how much of a fool I was or How we were before he turned into an asshole.----------------------------------------------1 year beforeI was waiting for him. He knows I will be pissed if he doesn't show up. I heard a roar of the engine and here came Mr. I am always late. Ammar took off his helmet in an overly dramatic way mirking."Hey best friend how are you" he poked my cheeks. I know it is difficult to bear with him but we are best friends since we were in elementary school. I was also stuck in the same hi
" Hayat can you drop me at the office "" Why? where is your car " she asked without looking at me, She was studying files of her new case. We were all having breakfast except Hayat who was busy working. I gave Hayat a weird look when I saw her work because she was the one who made the NO PHONE DURING BREAKFAST rule.I was just going to answer but the doorbell disturbed me. Noori went to get the door and came back followed by Ayan. What is he doing here I didn't know he was coming. He looks so awesome dressed fully formal white shirt and formal pants. I kept my droll inside and internally shook my head.Bad anam, really bad"Salam everyone, good morning " Ayan stared at me before sitting beside Hayat."Walekum Asalam, good morning" I raised an eyebrow at him. Noori brought a plate of steaming Poha and a cup of tea for him and settled beside me continuing her breakfast. Hayat was still in her files she don't even notice Ayan is sitting there.
I parked the car and started toward the elevator. All I wanted to do was sleep, I am tired as hell. Raj. One of my colleagues resigned so I have to fill in his place for today. The elevator door opened and Ian came out carrying a ball."Hii handsome ""Anam! how are you " he jumped on me for a hug. I caught him and returned the hug. I looked for his mom or brother but no one was there. I ruffled his hair and pecked his forehead." where are you going buddy? it's late don't you have school tomorrow ?" I adjusted him on my hip."I want to play, I am bored "he pouted. I chuckled looks like sleeping have to be moved down the schedule. " come on, we will play then I am also bored too "He started jumping in excitement still on my hips. Ian started talking about school and his friends. I lowered him to the ground near the park bench" I will just keep my purse on the bench then we can play " I stuffed my scarf and phone inside the purse and kept i
It was Sunday my most favourite day because for many reasons first there will be no summit to annoy me. I know he is my best friend but that doesn't change the fact that he is an idiot. Second that I can roll in my bed the whole day and add this comfort Hayat makes something special to eat. "Anam come out " Noori called from the living room. I got out of my bed and dragged my ass to the living room and sprawled beside Noori she was reading a book which is a very rare site because according to her reading makes you insane. She swatted a little to give me more space. "What were you reading that too in the morning " "Anam it is 11 in the afternoon " "It is Sunday. so it is still morning for me " I got up and placed my head on her lap getting more comfortable. She started playing with my hair making me more sleepy. "Where is Hayat " I mumbled. "Not everyone is like you sleeping beauty, she went out to meet her client "
Ammar wants a chance to explain but is he sorry for what he did? I can't just trust him again. I admit that I wanted to know the reason for what he did but I can't risk it. Should I give him a chance to explain? Should I let him in again? How would palak paneer taste like?? Ok, the last one was off-topic. But these questions have been swirling in my mind forever. "Is it your habit to zone out every often "Ayan commented looking back at me? I didn't even realize that we are already in front of his house and he was walking ahead of me. This time I did not ask to ride the bike and was quiet the whole time Ayan eyed me worrying. I just shrugged and speeded to catch with him. Ayan's place was 20 minutes ride from home. It is a three-story modern house with a lawn in front. " Should I call a doctor " I gave him a confused look "you haven't made any sarcastic comment in the last 20 minutes," he said like it is our issue which that be handled immediately.
"Slow down Anam you are going too fast " Ayan shrieked in my ear. According to him, I was going very fast but I to ignored him as I was enjoining this a lot and there is no police to catch me. I speeded a little more just to annoy him. "Don't be scared Ayan just hold me and don't fall, " I said smugly. Damn my big mouth. He wrapped his arms around my waist. Well, I didn't believe in butterflies but now I do. My cheeks started to heat, I pushed all the mushy thoughts back and focused on driving. His breath fanned on my neck. After minutes of ignoring Ayan's complaints and the damned butterflies, I parked the bike in front of the café. I looked around for Hayat but her car was nowhere to be seen. I stood leaning back on the bike and Ayan was in front of me glaring, "That's it. I am not going to allow you to drive my bike again "Ayan scowled. "Are you going do this to me Ayan "I made a puppy face." you know I love to drive right" He r
I have been racking my brain to think of something that will change Hayat's decision or at least stop them from being mad at each other. She already underwent a lot and that's enough I don't want more sufferings for her. I don't want her to think she has to choose between us and her fiancé. "Anam hold this. It's too hot "Noori called from behind. I turned to her and she handed me a steamy cup of which I assume tasty chocolate. I was at my usual spot on the balcony, my thinking place. Noori came and sat beside me crossed legs on the floor. "Anam what's wrong " its nothing "then why were you crying? is everything okay " I didn't notice the tears on my cheeks until she reached and wiped it. "it's nothing Noori" I starred at my mug of hot chocolate to avoid her questioning gaze. I can't tell her even if I want to, Hayat will kill me if I did and I dont her worry abou
