Shadow Of My Past

Chapter 32

"Uncle won't allow plus if you all are so desperate for a party, I'll call you all in my home only if Uncle allows." I said.

"That means, we're on waiting list" Junaid pouted.

"Yasssss" I laughed.

In the meantime when I was figuring out how to spend my day, my cell buzzed.

Officer Sarfaraz Qureshi

"Yes Uncle" I said I picked up.

"Hoorain, I've some good news for you" he sounded happy.

"Please tell me Uncle"

"We're almost there Dear, you'll get every information by Nine pm." Uncle said.

"Oh My God!! What are you saying Uncle" I couldn't believe my ears.

"Yes Hoorain, Yes"

"Shukran Allah!!" I muttered.

"Dear, we've found Al"

"No Uncle, In Sha Allah we will. I'll wait for your call" I said breathing heavily.

"Hoorain, Happy Birthday dear." Uncle wished me.

"Thank You so much Uncle and thank you for giving me the best gift of my life." I thanked him.

"My pleasure dear, my pleasure. Okaayyy will call you at Nine. Byeee" he said.

"In Sha Allah. Byee." I said and hang up.

I screamed as I looked up, "God, you scared me, Junaid." I said putting a hand on my chest.

"Sorry, I didn't meant to scare you" he said.

"By the way, what are you doing here?" I didn't meant to be rude, but I can't help it.

"Umm...I just came to check, upon you" he replied but I was not satisfied with his reply. I don't know why, but I was not satisfied with his answer.

"Yeah, I'm just leaving." I gave him a small smile.

Everyone is so happy today, Masha Allah. The birds are chirping loudly, sky is so clear, children are playing around, Couples are giving major relationship goals. I could see positivity all around me. I kept on thinking as I looked outside the window of my cab.

Don't know if it's just my imagination or really everything looks so perfect today. Well, this all must be true because I'm going to meet Al soon. In Sha Allah. Everything feels so surreal, like it was just about yesterday. Walking together hand in hand, he protecting me, sitting on the rooftop together and then everything fall apart.

Two months back when Sir just disappeared like that, everything was seemed like a puzzle, so I decided to find Al and ask for a good explanation, that's how I met Uncle Sarfaraz. No one knows about this little secret of mine except Uncle Sarfaraz, ofcourse!!

He's a really nice man and a man of his words. He's in his early fourty's, when I first met him I was very much intimidated by his looks, a very disciplined man who is always ready to help you. On our first meeting only, he promised me that within two months I'll get all the answers and he did kept his promise.

I can't wait now!!!

"Hello everyone!!" I greeted everyone as I went inside.

"Woah!! Someone's in a good mood" Tashu said as she let me inside.

"It's my birthday today and I'm allowed to be happy" I said plopping down on the sofa.

"Masha Allah" Aunty said coming out of the kitchen.
