Embracing Love [✓]

ᵗʷᵉⁿᵗʸ ᵉⁱᵍʰᵗ ✓

Like flowing water in a low place,
Her fluttering heart
Kept flowing to him.

Just by his eye smile
Her once-nothing world
Turned so green.
He shone so brightly
As if the whole world was here for him.
And maybe because of his bright light,
She circled around him
Like a Satellite.

All these new born feelings
Felt like a dream to her
Her dream.
It felt like he was the one 
For whom she has been waiting
For so long
It felt like he was her destiny
Until she faced reality.

The reality of his heart
Which was filled with
Someone else's memories.
And at that moment she realized 
She can never get the chance 
Nor a place to be in his heart.

"H-Hi!"
Putting her hand on his shoulder, Ayana looked at him apologetically.

Imraan who was having breakfast put his spoon on the table before looking more like glaring at her.
"What? Still not satisfied with it?"

Indicating his forehead where a white bandage was wrapped up, Imraan sarcastically said.
"Want to injure me more? Go on. Do it."

"I'm sorry. Whatever happened in the morning was my instinct. Really sorry about that."
Ayana cleared her throat before putting a warm smile on her face.
"Your hands were in such a dangerous area so I thought…"

Seeing Imraan's deathly glare at her, she stopped before nervously laughing.
"Never mind. Let bygones be bygones, okay?"

"Good morni- Ya Allah! Imraan! What happened to your forehead?"
Sherebano Quraish immediately went to her son before examining his injured forehead.
"Ayana, what happened to him?"

Ayana shrugged with a guilty face indicating that she didn't know.

"I… fell…"
Gritting his teeth, Imraan replied all the time glaring at Ayana.
"… from the… bed."

"What? From bed? Why will you-"

Cutting his mother off, Imraan got up before cleaning his lips with a napkin. 
"Maa, I'm full. Gotta leave for the office. Allah Hafiz."

As soon as Imraan left, Sherebono Quraish looked at her daughter-in-law questionably who also bid her bye before running out of the Quraish Villa leaving her all confused.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Saad asked Deira who was eyeing him from the moment she entered his cabin.

"I'm trying to figure you out."
She replied with a heavy tone.

"What?"

"You have been acting suspiciously for the last few days."
From behind Ayana explained.
"So, we, being great friends of yours, thought to come and see you."

"Acting suspicious? I don't know what you are talking about." 
Without meeting their eyes, Saad said.

"Really? Then why aren't you meeting our eyes?"
Smartly Deira asked.
