Chapter 8
2153 Words
We reached our home in just one hour but still I was tired due to the ceremony and the lack of sleep. After reaching, my father and mother went to their work to finish their work as soon as possible so that we could leave soon, leaving me alone in the house
After checking the time, I saw that it was 4 pm, so thinking of taking a nap I headed towards my room. Once inside I changed myself into my fluffy clothes, but before I could sleep I opened my phone to see if I had any messages. I opened my w******p and saw there were many messages, but a particular group caught my attention
Family❤
I was going throught the messages
Hey everyone! I made this group - Manal
Can see that- Rumana appi
Hi everyone!- Aisha di
Why am I added?- Zaim
I rolled my eyes looking at the message he had send
Dumbo aren't you family?- Ayan bhai
Yeah I know that but still I don't wanna be in this group. Btw where are you Ayan?- Zaim
Listen everyone, I'll tell you all one thing. Anyone who thinks or leaves this group is a DONKEY. Now Zaim if you want you can leave, but everyone will call you a donkey- Manal
I smiled looking at the message and shook my head. There were many messages so ignoring the messages I clicked to see who are present in the group
Aisha di
Anaya appi
Ayan bhai
Faizal jeeju
Haniya appi
Hudaifa bhai
Manal
Muskan
Rashid jeeju
Rumana appi
Saahil
Yazan
Zoya
There were two numbers. One I knew was of him but the other one I didn't knew so I asked in the group
Hi everyone!
Can you please tell me whose this 156?
I messaged and I closed my phone after few minutes after not seeing anyone replying
Would be having fun!
"Why did mama bring me here? I would have also stayed there and now I would have been enjoying with them." I said and again opened my cell after hearing the sound indicating a notification
You don't know?- Zaim
My heart started pumping rapidly seeing that he was the one who had replied instead of everyone else
Thinking of what to do, I started biting my lips and playing with my fingers
Don't message my mind yelled
One message won't harm my heart whispered
The fight between my mind and my heart was making me restless. After thinking I agreed with my heart
No..
I replied waiting for an answer but than I saw Manal typing and I breathed the air that I was holding
OMA OMA OMA did I just see right????? Was that Zaim and Sara chatting?????????- Manal
I rolled my eyes at the message but before I could text I saw that even Muskan was typing
You saw it right! They are chatting - Muskan
No, we aren't
I replied and before anyone could reply I saw that the person from the unknown number was typing
Hi Sara! It's me Nabhan, and you don't need to justify things. I'm here so you can talk to him, I don't have any problem- Nabhan
Just when I saw who was the person I didn't felt like replying but just messaged with an 'okay'
We don't need your guidance- Zaim
You do- Nabhan
And why do we?- Zaim
Because I'm her fiance- Nabhan
After this there wasn't any reply from him
It's not fixed yet....- Saahil
Yes- Yazan
It's a yes from Sara isn't it Sara? - Nabhan
After seeing the message I didn't knew what to reply, so I didn't reply anything and kept my phone aside and walked towards the balcony. I was looking at the nearby park where there were many children's playing while their mom's were talking
I turned around and saw a boy and a girl at a far distance. The girl was crying while the boy was consoling her while dancing which made me smile. Suddenly memories from my past came running to my mind and a tear escaped my eyes
Before 7 years
"Sara wake up beta, its time for your school." I heard my mom waking me up. Groaning I replied
"Five more minutes mom."
"You'll get late to school and its your second day at your new school." As soon as she said those words I hurriedly got up and dashed towards the washroom
Once I was ready, I went to see my father and my smaller brother, Saahil already present on the dining table. I looked around and found my mom missing
"Where is mama?" I asked
"She is with Saahir." My father replied and nodding my head I started eating my breakfast
Once done with the breakfast I along with Saahil and my father left for our respected duties, we to our school and my father to his work
I reached the school on time, and made my way towards the classroom
I entered the class and saw that most of the class was buzzing with children
I went and sat on my place. I looked up and saw every girl in the class looking at me with the same expression
Hate!
I was confused on getting these expression. What have I done to get these feelings?
The bell rang and the teacher entered the class. I shook the question away that was popping in my mind
The teacher started taking our attendance,
"Huda?"
"Present miss."
"Rahul?"
"Present miss."
"Manal?"
"Manal?"
The second time the teacher looked up when she didn't find any reply. After waiting for few seconds, she continued with her work. After done with taking attendance she started teaching us.
The bell rang indicating the ending of the period. Looking at the class I saw everyone making their way outside the class.
Break!
This is the time where I miss Muskan the most. She would easily make friends, while I would make one friend in the whole year!
I got up and made my way outside the class. Not in the mood of eating something I thought to take a look around my new school.
The school was very big. Bigger than my previous school. It had many classes with different divisions. I started climbing the steps when I found no one in my way
Probably eating in the canteen!
I reached on the third floor, the floor above my class. I started walking, noticing each and every class, when a voice interrupted my walk
"So she is the new girl, I see." A group of girls, elder to me were standing ahead of me with a smirk plastered on their face with the same emotions in their eyes, Hate!
I lowered my head and was about to take a turn when she stopped me
"Don't turn and walk when I'm talking to you." She glared at me while I gulped the lump that was forming in my throat
"Sorry." I apologized
They started walking towards me, one ahead while the others following her
Maybe she is the leader of the group
"So.. what's your name?" She asked me while I gulped and replied
"Sa-Sara."
"So Sara, let me have some fun with you." She replied and I looked up to see her smirking at me. Confused as though what is going on in her mind, I lowered my head again
"Wh-what a-are yo-you go-going t-to d-do?" I asked shuttering
"Nothing much. I just want to see what's under that cloth of your." She said while I looked up shocked
"Wha-what?"
"You heard me right and don't make me repeat." She glared while I started taking steps backward
"N-no, please don't." I said while still stepping back
She took a step ahead and caught hold of my arm
"Girls uncover her head." The girl said and before the girls could do that I freed myself from the girls hold, but due to the force I fell backward
I closed my eyes waiting for the pain but none came, instead I felt two arms wrapped around my waist
I opened my eyes and found a pair of black eyes looking at me. I hurriedly stood straight while the guy removed his hands. He turned around to look at the girls who were shocked to see him
"Zaim, w-we were just..." I heard the girl shutter but she was cut off by none other than the guy present there whose name I assume Zaim
"STOP. You guys were ragging her. Shame on you girls, she is smaller than you so it doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want. Instead of welcoming her you all were ragging her. And what were you'll doing? Removing her hijab? Huh? Do you even know what does it signifies? Hijab shows how modest she is. It protects a girl from the eyes of the evil. She is a pearl wrapped in a shell. It's not a just piece of cloth its a crown for her, but how will you girls understand this even though you all are muslim." I was shocked and was looking at his back while he was facing the girls while their head hunged low.
"Apologize to her now." He said while the girl looked shocked
"What?"
"Don't make me repeat. Do it." He said while clenching his fist
"Sorry." The girl said and turned around and left while the others followed her
I stood there rooted to my place after the girls had left. Suddenly, he turned around and smiled at me.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have touched you knowing that you wouldn't like it but I couldn't stop myself seeing you fall." He said guilty for touching me
I lowered my head and replied and okay. I turned around and was about to leave when he called me
"Sara."
I turned around and saw him stretching the back of his neck nervously. I waited for him to speak
"Will you be my friend?" He asked while my eyes were ready to pop out
I looked at him to see if he was playing with me or not, but there wasn't any mischief in his eyes.
I lowered my eyes and started thinking
I talk to boys but no one have ever asked me to be their friend.
"I-I no." I replied and i could see that he was hurt
"But why?" He asked me taking a step ahead while I took a step behind
"Simply." I replied looking down beacuse for some reason I couldn't see in his eyes
"I'm just asking you to be my friend. Can't you be my friend? I have never asked any girl, but I'm asking you. Can you?" He questioned and I looked up to see his face showing sincerity
My mind started thinking about his words. After few seconds of thinking I replied,
"Okay."
"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you." He started shouting while I looked up at him amazed on seeing the reaction. He was grinning widely
"You are welcome." I replied and that is when I heard the bell
"I should get going." I said
"Okay. Meet you after school. Bye Sara." He replied smiling at me
"Bye Zaim." I replied and made my way down towards my class
*****
Wiping off the tears that had escaped my eyes unknowingly I made my way towards my bed and took my phone in my hand and saw that there were many messages
"Why? Why? Why did you break our friendship? Why?" Questioning to no one in particular I heard the honk of the car indicating the arrival of my parents
Hurriedly getting up of my bed I ran inside the washroom to wash my face that had the tear marks.
After I had washed my face I looked up to we if I was looking alright or no. Once satisfied I went down to greet my parents
"Assalamualaikum." I greeted and that's when I looked t my father who was looking happy for some reason which I didn't knew. I looked at my mother and she resembled the same
"What's the matter? Can I also know the reson behind your smile?" I asked smiling slightly looking at my parents face
"Ahh...nothing you'll come to know tomorrow. We are leaving for Manal's place tomorrow. Pack your stuff." With that both my parents left me dangling in the middle of the sitting room with many questions
"What's making them so happy?"
With that I climbed upstairs to my room to pack my bags
"Simply wasted so much time on unpacking when we had to leave tomorrow only."
Muttering to myself I started packing my bag
