Chapter 3

  I went into the kitchen to get some breakfast. It's Monday I have to be at work which is 20 minutes drive from here

    "Asalamu Alaykum Hayat, good morning, what's for the breakfast" I kissed her on the cheeks.

  "Wailuku salaam honey don't you think you are being late it's 8:00 already " she reminded me. While making some cheese sandwich which is for me, I assume. I got an apple from the fruit basket and settled on the kitchen counter.

    "Don't worry I told summit I will come late today. that I will come by 9:45 " I assured her. she is just like my mother always worried about us.  I finished my breakfast and thanked Hayat for it. Usually, I drop Noori to school but her summer break has started so I will go alone. Zee is also free as her college hasn't started yet. Only I have loads of work. Yay me!

"Bye Hayat "

" Bye Anam, take care"

I started music the minute I got in the car. I don't like silence at all. My phone started ringing and it was summit calling l plucked my Bluetooth in and answered the call.

"Hi summit, good morning"

" We don't have time for the good morning rush to office fast meeting is in 40 minutes "Sumit shouted and nearly broke my eardrums.

      " WWHHHAAAATTTT, how? I mean it was at 2:00" I exclaimed; I clearly remember the meeting was going to be held at 2 at the noon. What the hell is going on

  " I know but boss changed the time, don't worry I have prepared everything just come fast," he said reassuring me.

  "Thank you. you are great I am coming in two minutes" I ended the call. Sumit is my male bestie. I met in the second year of my degree. We had the same list of favorite games and we became best friends. He is my support system too other than Hayat. He helped me a lot after last year's events.

  I told the watchman to park the car and started towards the office.

    As I opened the door, I didn't see there was water spilled all over the floor I slipped on the water. I closed my eyes and waited for the pain but it didn't come.    I slowly opened my eyes and saw two beautiful grey eyes staring at me with concern. I never saw such beautiful eyes in my life. I was back to reality as I felt two strong arms wrapped around me to prevent me from falling.

      I didn't know how long I stared at him. I tried but was not able to avert my eyes from him. His face, the sharp jawline. High cheekbone. His lips curved in a small smile but the thing that kept me trapped was his eyes, there were no words to describe them

  Stop the checkout Anam you are staring at him.

  "Anam are you okay, come on we will be late" Sumit barged out of the elevator. That snapped me out of the daydreaming. We both stood up straight. I turned to Sumit and awkwardly waved at him.

    " I am fine. someone spilled water on the floor and I didn't notice "

    "let's go we are late "Sumit started dragging me inside " Thanks Ayan for saving my friend's butt there" he yelled at the stranger.

Ayan's POV

      I got a call from an AMT software company. They have a vacancy in the designing department. I got excited hearing this started getting ready. I reached the place exactly at 9:30. There were not many people in the building, I waited at the reception so that I get hold of some to enquire about my interview and stuff. I saw a guy standing at the end of the hallway.

  "Excuse me, can you help me? I came here for the interview" I tapped his shoulder and asked.

"OH, are you, Mr. Ayan Kazi," he asked and. I nodded in confirmation.

"I am really sorry your interview has been postponed to tomorrow; don't worry you are already selected interview is just for formality" he shrugged " you have to come tomorrow "

"Okay no problem, I didn't get your name," I asked him.

"It's Sumit Dev nice meeting you "

"Nice meeting you too " I waved him goodbye and Started towards the entrance as I was going to opening the door someone already opened it. It happened so fast, suddenly the girl was falling; I acted quickly and slipped my arms under to stop her from falling.

She had her eyes shut. Her face was like an angel who every guy dream of having. Her lips were pulled in a thin line. they were pink, small, and delicate like a baby. She slowly opened her hazel honey eyes which had a different spark in them.

I was so busy staring at her that I didn't realize Sumit was there and was talking to the mystery girl.

"Let it be Anam we are late," he said facing her and turned toward me and said "thank you, Mr. Ayan, for saving my friend's butt"

    So, her name is Anam. I waved at Sumit and went home.
