FORBIDDEN

35: Event

I make my way inside the hall of my university after receiving a message in my announcements group which fortunately said that we are having a donation gala that is due only 2 weeks.

Yeah.Okay.

Seems fine. But the problem is they made me the head of the management committee which means I'll have to undergo the stress of making everything perfect again!

Having your work close to perfect has its prices too.

And this one will cost me my sanity.

I look towards the meeting hall only to see the one out of two head events seats taken.
By Omar.

And besides it is mine.

"Not again,Please." I say as I make my way to the seat giving a small bow to the teachers standing on their duties.

"Miss Always-Late is finally here." Omar spoke from his seat clapping his hands together.

"Yeah you could only guess the excitement I felt seeing your seat beside mine,Right?" I retort back a fake smile coating my lips.

"The pleasure is all mine." He says while getting comfortable in his seat.

"Can we start?I dont have whole day." Zoha spoke in a bored tone from her seat as the deputy head of the committee.

"Yeah my bad.Thought you had one while you went out blabbering nonsense about me to every single person present in this room not even a week ago,or am I wrong?" I snap as the flashbacks of what this girl could do to get the man beside me flashed in front of my eyes.

"Care to enlighten me?" She spoke as her eyes betrayed her not so innocent tone.

"The thing is,I don't." I say and with a roll of my eyes turn to glare at the person beside me.

"Stand up" I sternly say.

"Why?" He asks but stands up anyway.

"I'll only work with him if he cooperates with me,Sir Rehan or else I am out." I speak.
My words directed to the only teacher who cares about me enough to make my university life a living hell.

Omar stiffens beside me due to God knows what reason but I am too high on my disbelief to ponder on it.

"Look,Daneen. You want the course right?" He says tapping his pen on the table distant from mine. "To get it,this event has to be successful."

I scoff. "What do you mean?"

"I mean that your future plan to go to Germany relies on the success of this event right here as well as 'your' cooperation with your fellowmates." He says casually while my heart drops.

"You can't do this." I speak my voice coming out as a harsh whisper.

"I already,did. Have a seat you both." He says and motions for us to sit down.

Omar besides me plops down on his seat with an exaggerated sigh and when I dont sit down and am apparently too busy in glaring the life out of Sir Rehan,he tugs my sleeve and pulls me down beside him.

"You're ruining this already,Awan." He seethes into my ear lowly.

"So students.I'll go over the things that the administration seems are important in the gala and in terms of meeting the needs of the donation parties,this is your biggest and most important event till now." Sir Rehan says to the students of the committee.

"The donations will be done to the orphanages in our region and we have decided to make this event as a non profit one. The theme will be as such so that the sponsors should be attracted which I suppose Omar and Daneen will handle very efficiently." He finishes passing a look to the both of us.
