In The Midst Of Serendipity

|Chapter 30| Chaoctic Feelings

We were all at the dinner table. It was going smoothly. Everyone was busy in light conversation. I was also taking part in conversation with Salar and Aaban. We stopped when Naeem Chachu asked Salar

"Salar, are you really helping your brothers or just burdening them?"

We all know it was a joke. Naeem Chachu has a teasing smile on his face. Salar grunted in response before nodding his head and saying

"Yes baba. They can't even take one decision without me."

Ok, he's exaggerating now. But I let it slide. He deserved some credit too. He is working really hard and I appreciated that. Our conversation was once gain cut off when baba spoke

"Me and Junaid has decided to invite Mr. Malik on dinner tomorrow."

Oh that's new. Why aren't I aware of that? Everyone nodded their heads but my curiosity got the best of me and I asked

"But why? And why I was not informed about it?"

Baba took a deep breath before elaborating

"Beta, he is doing his best in making the project work. I think it's his right for some appreciation. Don't you think?"

I halfway agreed with baba. But I don't know why I don't like the persona of this Mr. Malik. He seemed to tick me off. There was never once he shared any idea with us. He just go with it like our thoughts didn't matter. I chose to slid it many times but he never once try to even ask us.

He also kept things away from us. He didn't tell us about the contract with the other company. I don't know if I should take it into consideration but I am really trying to give him a chance to atleast came clean and apologized. Let's see. Maybe this dinner will finally help him to see what he's doing is not a one man thing anymore. It's team now.

But one thing felt strange. I could see from my peripheral vision that Shiza practically froze at the mention of that Barzan. I mean she worked for him and she knows him well. That's why I didn't understand the way she froze on his mention. Is there something I'm missing? Before I could ask her anything, my words remained in my mouth when dado spoke

"Then its done that Mr. Malik will have dinner with us tomorrow."

Everyone nodded and mama stated

"Don't worry, Ammi Sahiba. Everything will be on dot."

Dado smiled before nodding her head. Zarnish decided to speak this time

"Then like always I will be making the meals and don't worry, everything will be tasty."

She was beaming ear to ear. She always handled the kitchen whenever we had any event or dinner party. Let's just say she has magic in her hands. But her smile died when dado exclaimed

"This time, it will be a little different. We have a new member in our family and I want Shiza to finally cook food."

At this sudden revelation, everyone became quiet. Shock was planted on mama's face and Zarnish was too shock to even react. This is something new! Zarnish finally stated

"Dado, what are you saying? I always cook food. Please let me cook."

I knew she didn't like it. I mean she loved cooking and it was her passion. I felt bad because no matter what I can't see her unhappy. She looked good smiling. Dado sighed and stated

"Beta, let's give her a chance. I'm not saying that you can't make anything. You can help her. Even Kinza and Nimra will also help."

Zarnish scoffed before muttering
