Shumayll

Okay so what i did was totally stupid and dumb but hey- she was creating a chaos-

i mean think of it this way- the girl you like is crying over the fact that no guy falls for her infront of you when you are there like, 'WTH, what am I? Invisible?'

yeah that was me

so i made it known

I told her

I don't know what she is thinking, how she is doing coz I had switched off my phone and not bothered to call her

I did however call home, but did not ask about her nor talk to her

It was awkward

I was delaying my flight as much as i could but an urgency came up at the Durban main office that i had to attend immediately

"Sir, are you sure you want another cup of coffee?" asked Hamad as we walked out of the airport

"Just get me one, no questions asked!" I said to him and he nodded

I switched on my phone and bit my lower lip

had she called?

"Sir, head home?" asked the driver and i nodded as he started the ignition

her calls- 30 calls-

of course her calls, she would call, i mean i left the phone off for 2 days!

"On second thought, take right to the office, the urgent matter needs to be taken care of before hand" I said and the driver nodded hesitantly

Thats coz i always go home after any international trip but today....... is a different case

once i was at the office, the matter was taken care off, the matter was about honesty and fraud, no one gets away with taking my money

anyways...........

soon after that was the moment i was dreading

meeting Iqra

"As salaam alaikum" I said as i entered the house and found no one

What?

"Helllooo?" i called out

Raya walked out of the kitchen and smiled at me

'Hello Shumayll baya, everyone is out, daadi mah, mother ji and huma bhabhi went shopping, Shaheer baya and papa ji are at work" she said and i nodded

"Where is Iqra?" I asked her

"Outside i think" she replied and i let out a breath of relief

okay she is not here-

i walked upstairs and decided to go to my actual room to take somethings, mostly clothes

Since dearest Iqra was not in the house, I went into the room and headed into the closet

taking my clothes and other things, i walked to my den, the top floor living room!

After a shower and some food, i settled infront of the TV

i deserved the break

hitting the channel onto some rugby match, between New Zealand and Fiji, I stared at the screen waiting for Fiji to make a try

dont get me wrong, I love both of them too much, but at times, I tend to love one more than the other

"go- come on, Taliga, go go goooo!" I yelled and then jumped when i heard laughter behind me

Turning around, (Upon my spilled popcorn) I saw mom, Bhabhi and Iqra standing there, Mom and bhabhi laughing while Iqra seemed amused

great

way to go Shumayll

"Uhmm- As salaamu alaikum ammi!" I suddenly grinned and hugged mom

"Was salaam, why so happy?" she asked me and i chuckled lowly

"Nothing big, guess thats travelling fever?" i made that up, I swear

"Okay, so how was your trip?" asked Bhabhi, clearly not believing me

"Good, Alhamdulillah, I guess I have to rest, I have work this afternoon and things, so yeah, bye" I said and then dashed out of there like a dumb monkey

Why?

my brain is not working, was not working, hell leave it!

"Argghh!!!" I whined as i walked into Shumar's room

"Really dude, there is something known as privacy!" he said as he stood up from his couch

"Whatev's" I muttered as i lay on his bed, after hitting the AC on high

"Why the hack is your AC not working!?!!" I yelled at him after a few minutes and he gave me a 'WTF' look

why is it so damn hot in here!?!!

"Its on high!! I am literally freezing my b*t off!" he snapped at me

I rolled my eyes and set up on his bed again

Shiiz!

I can't believe this is happening!

images flashed, the image of her smile, the pearls and her frown, damn that girl will be the death of me

Shumar snapped his fingers infront of my eyes

"What?" I asked him and he stared at me amused

"So you did not hear a thing i said?" he asked me and i gave him a confused look

"What?" I asked him again and this time he smirked

"Something is wrong with you, something-" he said and i chuckled lowly

if only he knew

"Yeah, that something is that i am tired" I said and lay back on his bed

His head popped beside me and his eyes suddenly grew wide

"Oh my Allah, no way!" he yelled as he pushed me down the mattress, i almost fell off the bed!

"What the hell man, clam the hell down!" I told him and he smirked at me

so much for being a 16 year old!

"You like a girl!" he said sitting cross legged on the bed

"What?" I asked him incredulously

I really dont believe this!

I told Iqra i liked her, my little brother knows i like someone, nothing happened all this time I had liked this girl and the moment i decide to tell her, everyone suddenly seems to know!

wow, thanks life!

"You said what 3 times, there is definitely something wrong with you, I will call Iqraam bhai-" he said panicking and began dialing for Iqraam

I sighed and lay back on the bed, staring at the ceiling

"Here" he said handing me my phone

I checked the caller

Iqraam

"As salaam...." I muttered and he replied quickly before launching into the main question

"What is wrong with you? Heard the son is in love???" He drawled and I snorted

"Who says?" I asked him and he chuckled

"Oh hell I have ways!" He replied smirking

I could not see him but it did not take a genius to know he was smirking, let alone his best friend

" Quit it, I don't like anyone, let alone love her!" I said feeling guilty of lie-ing to my best friend

"Uhuh and why did you use her when i did not mention the name?" he asked me suspiciously

"What? i did not! Stop manipulating me, Mohammed Iqraam!" I said and he chuckled

"Sure- i am a freaking psychologist here who will manipulate you? you crazy bro?" he asked me and i sighed

maybe?

"You know what, on second thought, i think your sister is the reason why i am going crazy- that girl can't shut up! she talks toooooo much!" I said and he laughed

"Your responsibility, make sure shes safe, man" he said and i laughed

always

"Yeah yeah, sure-" I muttered and then we chatted aimlessly alittle bit more

soon after that i took a quick shower and headed to work

my work was important

"Be home for dinner!" said mom as i left the house smiling at her

she was everything to me

even after what was in my past

she loved me enough to let me heal and forget things

Indeed its true that your first love is always your mother and the first woman in your life who will love you more than anything

I did not bother to talk to Iqra at all, I knew things would get out of hand, I had confessed, now i dont know how to face her-

just great
