Matters Of The Heart

19

MADIYA AHMED KHAN'S POV:

I covered my face with quilt,
As the sunlight streamed through my window,
This morning felt something different,
Just like I feel complete.

A blush made its way towards my face,
As the memories from last night, came rushing to my mind.

"Zayyan" I muttred his name under my breath,
And I bite my lips to keep from giggling,
My mind immediately went back on the words he said me Yesterday,
"Stop biting your lips, because only I can do it"
And my face turned red, by the mere thought of him.

I smashed the pillow on my face giggling,
As the thought came across my mind,
He walked through my heart as he belonged there, but now when I realised,I believe he actually belonged there.

The buzzing of my phone caught my attention,
My eyes flickered to the screen,
As a smile made its way towards my face, seeing Sarah's name flash across my screen.

I received it to hear, the sound of horn echo in the background,
"Hey idiot salaam" her voice boomed in the background,
"Salaam, Sarah. Where are you?" I questioned, taking off my quilt.
"Diya I am making my way towards your house, get ready we are going for shopping" she said all in one breath.

"But sar-" she cut me immediately,
Disconnecting the call,
"I hate you for this" I muttred groaning,
Yaar why shopping?
I hate this.

Taking a quick shower,
I headed out ,
With the bathrobe, hanging lose around me,
Opening the wardrobe,
I reluctantly chose a green maxi,
With the hijab to go for it,
I wore my boots and made my way out of my room.

My stomach was rumbling like crazy,
So I took a long strides heading towards the dinning hall,
And to my surprise Sarah was already here,
She was shoving cupcakes into her mouth, still holding two more in her hand.

I shook my head at her,
This girl will never change,
Her eyes flickered at me,
And a big smile broke on her face,
"Yo..u.. bea..utif..l" she muttered,
Still shoving cupcakes into her mouth.

I stared at her, as confusion took over my face,
"What are you blabbering out?" I questioned sitting in front of her,
I was actually parched, so I poured orange juice in my glass,
Before it could reach my mouth,
A hand snatched my glass, spilling some juice on my dress.

I glared at Sarah,
"Yaar Sarah, you had your glass" i whined,
as she signaled me to wait, still gulping down the juice.
"Aunty this cupcake is amazing " she said hugging mom,
Who came in with a cup of coffee in her hand.

Mom blushed, as she dipped her hand in her pocket, taking out her phone,
She placed the coffee on the table,
Whenever someone praises her she takes a selfie with them.

Sarah wasn't surprised, because she was used to this,
Taking a cupcake from the plate,
I shoved it in my mouth,
"Sarah I am out, mom salaam" I said heading through the door.

we hailed a cab, we both got seated, as Sarah began to talk to the cab driver,
One thing I know is that, she can't keep her mouth shut,
"When did you get married?" She asked immediately, as he took a u-turn.

I now seriously started to pity the driver, who had to answer to all the stupid questions Which Sarah was asking,
Sarah won't shut her mouth, until he answers all her question,
"Are you happy with your wife?" She questioned again, and to which he answered" why? Will you marry me, if I'm not happy?" this was his immediate answer.

I stiffled a laugh, and Sarah was glaring at him,
The cab came to a halt, and we moved,
paying him the money,
I could to hear Sarah cursing him under her breath.

We were about to enter, when we noticed qasif making his way towards us,
"Hey salam" he said glancing at Sarah,
I shifted my gaze at her to see she was blushing,
"Salaam man" I said to gain his attention, and he did,
Smiling at me.

"Let's go inside" said qasif, his gaze still fixed on Sarah,
My eyes flickered at Aameen who was making his way towards us,
His expression revealed surprise for a brief moment,and then his eyes flashed with anger, glancing at Sarah whose eyes were still fixed on qasif.

Aameen clenched his fist,
He narrowed his eyes,
As for Sarah, she was blabbering something to qasif, which was deliberately misconstrued by Aameen's sharp voice, " let's go inside" he said through gritted teeth,
I stood bemused there,
Trying to comprehend Aameen's erratic mood.

Making our way in the mall,
My phone buzzed gaining my attention,
Zayyan's name flashed across my screen, as a smile made its way toward my lips.

"Where are you?" He questioned,
There was unmistakable hitch in his voice, "in the mall, qasif and Aameen are also here" I stated, and the call disconnected.

I glared at my phone, anger blazing in my eyes, "idiot" I muttred under my breath, Clenching my phone tightly in my hands,
I shook my head at Sarah who was still speaking to qasif, and Aameen who was standing beside qasif glaring at them.

Before I could make my way towards Aameen, a hand pulled me towards it's hard chest,
I immediately recognised the person as his cologne hit my nostrils, making me inhale it.

He gave me his breathtaking smile, and he kissed my forehead, "I missed you" he said and I glared,
"Angry?" He questioned, his voice held confusion, and I nodded my head, "why?" He questioned,
Making his lips into a pout,
I couldn't help but smile at his cuteness,
"You're so cute" I said pulling his cheeks, "No my love, I am not cute,
You need to say handsome" he said,
Smiling at me, and I rolled my eyes.

He entwined our fingers, taking me with him, but there is something that he's hiding and I am sure of it.
"Done with the shopping?" He questioned, staring here and there,
"Everything okay?" I questioned, staring at him concerned,
" yes ofcourse" he winked at me playfully.

I shook my head at the disconcerting
Feeling,
And my eyes automatically flickered at ishan who was making his way towards us,
He smiled mumbling a salaam,
And I replied back with a half smile.

"Did you check the security?" Questioned zayyan, his voice soft,
But i heard it anyway,
Ishan nodded his head moving from there,
"Zayyan what's the matter?" I questioned, keeping my gaze on his face scrutinizing him.

"Noth-" I abruptly cut him off,
"Don't you dare lie" I warned him, pointing my index finger.
"Okay calm down" he muttered,
"See there" he pointed at the man who was wearing a black suit, and was holding a gun in his hand,
"He is tyler, your guard" he said and I stared at him dumbstruck.

"Guard? Why do I need him?" I snapped at him,
"Because I don't want to risk your life" he said tightening his grip on my hand,
"What do you mean by, you don't want to risk my life zayyan?" I questioned again raising my brow.

" You already know about Brayden" he said averting his eyes,
I took a deep breath to calm myself,
"What's the matter zayyan?" I questioned softly, " I don't know. I am getting some threats by someone called Mr M" he said his voice full of concern.

The Truth dawned on me, hearing the name, Mr M.
As the flashbacks of Brayden speaking to him made my eyes widen,
I thought zayyan knew about Mr M.
But I was wrong.

"Zayyan I heard this name from Brayden, he was speaking to him on the phone that day" I said staring at him dismay and he glanced at me shocked.
"Don't worry jaan, nothing will happen to you" he assured,
And we Made our way out of the mall.
