Matters Of The Heart

MADIYA AHMED KHAN'S POV:

I sat on my bed, taking off my quilt,
Stretching my hand, as the sunlight illuminated my room.
Last night's events came rushing to my mind,
"What was zayyan doing here at night?" I frowned at the question.

Anger and hatred surged within my every vein,
As my mind drifted to Abdullah,
I sucked in a sharp breath Assembling myself.

Tieing my hair in a ponytail,
I headed towards the bathroom,
As the cold water hit my body,
I shivered a little.

A smile made its way towards my lips as i realised, zayyan saw me without my hijab for the first time,
And i covered my face with my hands,
Blushing slightly,
He was always there for me,
when I needed him.

Wearing a plain green maxi, with a hijab,
I headed down, With slow steps,
As My body was drained out of energy.

I saw Mom, dad,and my siblings sitting in the dining table,
I glanced at Noor, who smirked at me, and I glared at her,
Why is she smirking at me?
I shook my head, and sat beside my brother.

"Salaam everyone" I greeted,
"Walaikum salam Diya" replied mom and dad back, smiling at me,
Dad was staring at me, as I placed a toast on my plate, shoving a small slice in my mouth,
"Dad I know your daughter is beautiful, that doesn't mean you stare at me" I stated, and Noor rolled her eyes.

I glared at her" Noor stop rolling your eyes, my baby sister, I know you can't stand my beauty" I said proud of my self,
"Did you see yourself in the mirror,
I don't know, how zayyan bhai choose you" she said mockingly.
"Will you shut that big mouth of yours, Noor di" said Rehan, glaring at her.

I kissed his forehead, patting his head,
"Aww, i love you brother" I said,
"I love you too, but" he pushed, sipping his coffee,
I knew it, this but will come,
"Is it necessary for you to always add that but?, what do you want from me rehen?" I questioned, raising my brow up,
"Will you please complete my notes?"
He said making a puppy dog face,
Mom glared at him, and Noor and Dad both burst into laugh.

"Diya, your going for shopping with zayyan and his family today,
So get ready" said mom, still glaring at rehen, who stuck his tongue out at mom.
"Dear we planned your reception next week" added dad, I looked at him my eyes slightly widened,
I expected it coming.
Dad shook his head at rehen, and Noor was busy eating.

I don't want to go to Shopping now,
So I thought to convince mom
"Mom but-" I was interrupted by moms sharp gaze
,which indicates
*Make an excuse I'll rip your head off*
I shut my mouth immediately,
Shoving the toast in my mouth,
Dad stifled a laugh, and I rolled my eyes at him.

Jogging towards my room,
And i plopped on the couch,
I smashed the pillow on my face,
Releasing a huge sigh,
"How am I gonna face zayyan" I muttred, I don't want to face him,
After what happened yesterday.

But I don't think, I have any options,
My thoughts were interrupted, by a continuous buzzing of my phone,
Glancing at the screen,
A name flashed on my screen,
"Mr idiot" a smile formed on my lips,
As I received it.

"Madiya? Are you okay?
Do have any fever?
Should we consult a doctor? Madiya talk to me" he questioned all in one breath,
Concern lashing in his voice,
I opened my mouth, but closed it again.
"Madiya, talk to me love, are you fine?" He questioned again, his voice soft, I could hear his breathing.

"I am fine" I whispered back,
My voice barely even a whisper,
But I know he heard it,
" You sure?" He questioned back, not convinced,
" Hmm" I said smiling a little.
"But I am still not convinced, I want to see you" he confessed.
