In The Midst Of Serendipity

|Chapter 13| Some Matters Secrets

I seriously not able to digest it even after these months. I wonder how dado is feeling. I glanced at her and she was busy talking to Barzan's nani. She didn't react to her arrival at the dining area. It's like she just froze. I never saw dado like that. She didn't notice her presence.

It's like she vanished for her. But I think it's good for dado too. She shouldn't feel any pity towards a girl who didn't feel care for her feelings. Barzan's voice brought me out of my Dreamland

"Shiza, you can bring the dessert now."

She nodded and stood up. She disappeared into the kitchen. I sighed heaving a deep breath. Her presence was making me uneasy. Now, I can take a relaxed breath. Zarnish looked at me and mouthed

'Are you ok?'

I nodded my head and she again busied herself in talking to Nimra and Kinza. Baba and Junaid chachu were busy in conversation with Barzan while I decided to remain quiet. Mama and Lubna Chachi were busy sending death glares towards the kitchen.

Soon, Shiza again came infront of my view. She was holding the tray of dessert in her hands. She placed the tray on the table. She was about to sit down when Barzan's command halted her movements

"You can serve them, Shiza."

She looked at Barzan for some moment probably didn't believing that he just told her to serve. Is she working as a maid for him? But why would a maid would have the luxury of sitting beside her boss? Is there something I am missing? She is such a mystery. I decided to not pay attention to her. She started serving from Barzan's nani to dado.

She tried to look at dado but she didn't glance at her. She gave up and walked ahead. She served Aaban, Kinza, Nimra and Zarnish. Zarnish looked at her with disgust and she tried her best to ignore her. Now, she was standing infront of me.

She served me the dessert and when she was about to leave, I held her wrist under the table. Her breath hitched and her whole body stiffened. I looked at everyone and they were busy in the conversation. I whispered-seethed to her

"What the hell are you doing here?"

I left end wrist with a jerk and she stumbled back a little. I scoffed and turned my attention back to my phone. She stood there contemplating my behavior with her but I pay no heed to her. When she didn't move, Barzan's snide remark brought her out of her chain of thoughts

"Shiza, serve the rest of the people too."

She nodded and served Baba and Chachu. Lastly, she turned towards mama and decided to serve her. But mama grabbed her hand in the midway and held it tightly. Shiza looked at her wide eyed. Everyone's attention was on them. Barzan was looking keenly at them.

I don't want him to think anything else. I tried to warn mama but she was glaring hard at Shiza. She tried to release her hand from her grip but mama tightened ber grip causing her to hiss. Baba looked at mama wanting her to stop. Finally, mama realized the situation and left her hand. She took a deep breath and mama state quietly rudely

"I don't like desserts."

She once again glared at Shiza. She quietly took the plate and left to the kitchen. I sighed. Finally, we all stood up to leave. I shake my hand with Barzan and he stated

"It's nice having the dinner with you."

I nodded my head. I passed him a small smile and we all bade our goodbyes. She was nowhere in sight. Since the moment she went in kitchen, she didn't come back. Dado stated to Barzan's nani

"You have a very mannerful grandson. Allah usko dher sari kamyabi ate kre."

Barzan's nani smiled and stated
"Inshallah."
Finally, we all left the Malik's Mansion. Throughout the whole drive, I remained silent. Although, the girls were gossiping about Shiza and her unexpected presence there but I chose not to say anything. I didn't want to talk about on that subject.
