FORBIDDEN

24:The Breakfast.

"Can't you just tell them I am not here?" Daneen asks me while I apply a light amount of blush on my cheeks. Passing her a look from the mirror which clearly says that's not gonna happen she eventually sighs and hauls herself to the bathroom to get ready.

Getting my hair up in a high ponytail I make myself outside hesitating a bit while turning the knob of the door.

After the confession-obsession which Shehram dropped on me I don't even know how to face him or even look at him without these events rushing in my mind.

I don't have an answer for it obviously although I believe in love at first sight, let's just say I am attracted to him at most.

It worries me a bit when I recall his words. "I'll have you even if I am frobid to do so" but I just know that no matter how much I like him, I won't let him in my heart before his brother makes something out of himself.

"Aslamo alikum" I greet every one with a half embarrassed smile.

"Wa alikum Salam" they all reply in union.

I make my way towards my parents and after giving them a kiss on the cheek with a side hug I do the same to Sahrish aunty who more then happily return it before her husband, Uncle Salman pats me on the head lovingly.

Greeting Ayaan bhai and Aira I don't bother to do the same to Shehram so I just nod a little at Omar and sit down.

I am seated opposite form the guests and Aira is sitting with them too. I smile at her when she notices me looking her way. Next to me are 2 empty seats where Daneen and Subhan have yet to come.

These two.

Subhan comes in next greeting everyone loudly and cheerfully. He meets Sahrish uncle and Salman uncle respectfully before advancing towards Shehram and Omar.

He fistbumps Omar and gives a hug to Shehram which he gladly returns.

Sitting next to me he pushes me a bit playfully while pretending to set his seat. I push him back in return and he dodges that which causes me to frown in usi direction.

"Mat kro joker lg rhi ho."he leans in towards me and whispers.
(Stop it, you're looking like a joker)

Shehram in front of me chuckles before covering it with a cough. Omar says nothing.

" Last I checked Harley Quinn pr crush mujhe nai tha." I reply back to him which causes him to chok on his water.
(Harley Quinn was your crush)

Omar passes a snicker while Shehram seems somewhat impressed with me.

If I don't snap at someone, doesn't mean I can't.

I heave in a relaxed sigh upon seeing Daneen come and greet everyone in the same manner as I did but unlike me she greets Shehram with a happy mood which he gladly returns with a smile.
Before completely ignoring Omar's existence.

I can't help but snicker.

She kisses me on the cheek before giving Subhan a hug from behind the chair and finally settling down on her seat opposite me and infront of Omar.

The breakfast goes on and so does the never ending entertaining talks between everyone. Subhan indulges in conversations as well as Daneen and me while we both completely ignore the living shit pit of the two men seated in front of us.

Shehram can't help but glance at me from time to time maybe in hope that I would do the same or something but I don't have it in me to even look at him right now.

Omar and Daneen are indulged in their Breakfast and neither of them make a move to encourage each other's presence.

But the tension between them could be detected from a 6 mile radius.
