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
Ayan's. POV I like her. I am trying to persuade my mind that I don't but I know that it is not true. The fact of the day is I like Anam khan. Since yesterday the same thing is going on in my head. My mother has been going on and on about Anam and her other students. I didn't complain because I was knowing more things about the old days when I was not there and more about Anam. I lived in Mumbai for almost all my life I never liked it here in Pune and that's why I lived in Mumbai, I moved there after middle school and got my degree there. When mum told me to get back to Pune after my sister got married, I thought my life is going to get boring. I never told mom but I was not planning on coming back to Pune ever. I decided I should tell her. but my older sister visited me in Mumbai before her wedding and told me that it was time that I take my responsibilities seriously and I agreed with my mom to come back. &nbs
Anam's POV "Anam is there any special reason you called me at 10 am " Ayan reply sleeping " why could you be so cruel to ruin my sleep " "Hey, you can't complain I am the one who should complain here. my precious sleep got disturbed because of you" "Dear Miss Khan could you be a nice person and tell me the reason so that I can continue my sleep," he says in a gentlemanly tone. how can someone sound so good even half-sleeping? "Hayat had told me to invite you. We are having a small get together so be here in the afternoon " He muttered a small thanks and end the call. I think someone is too eager to be back to sleep but so well I am. Pulling the duvet over my head I drift to sleep. Hayat has this tradition of inviting everyone on the last Saturday of every month. She told me last night to invite Ayan but I forgot. __________________________________________ It was noisy like a market wi
After dinner, everybody started leaving. Summit gave a ride to Mahira. She wanted to stay but had to leave because of work. Janvi went with her brother, he came to pick her., Hayat and Ammar were busy clearing the kitchen. Ayan said his greetings to everyone and started towards the door. I followed him out."Where are you going "he raised an eyebrow."Just going for a walk in the neighbourhood"I informed Hayat, took my scarf and phone, and went out of the door. I knew Ayan want to ask me something but he keeps quiet. We came down to the parking and I started towards the main gate. I needed some fresh air to clear my thoughts and it is my favourite time to take a walk. I am so lost in my thoughts that I did not notice Ayan was w/walking beside me. I stared at him. why was he coming with me? "Did you park your bike somewhere else?" I asked him. To which he just shrugged. "The
" Ayan are you okay "I waved my hand in front of his face to get his attention. For the last five minutes, Ayan just stared at me without blinking after I finished telling him my story. "Sorry for zoning out like that "" you know, I never told anyone all this. "" I am not avoiding Ammar because that he didn't date me but I am angry that he did to our friendship, he betrayed me for just a petty bet"" You value friendship a lot ""Yes I do, that's why I am going to give him a chance to explain himself "Ayan just nodded. We kept walking and soon we reached his bike. I waved him off and went home._________________________________________________________________________Ayan's POV I am an idiot. Anam told something she never told anyone and I just kept quiet and stared at her, I should have said something.Once I got my hand on Ammar I am going to break every bone in his body. How could he do
