So Many Secrets

Chapter 2

*She started packing necessary items in her small suitcase. Extra dresses, because they were all going to stay in Murree for one day. She also packed some things to protect from the cold and some essential medicines, because in the beginning of winter it gets very cold in Murree. There are chances of fever and cold. Packing at the last minute is very difficult, something or the other always gets left behind.*

*After giving the suitcase one last look, she closed it. She put her mobile, mobile charger, and power bank in her handbag. After putting a little makeup stuff as well, she closed the handbag.*

*"Did I miss anything?" she said to herself while giving her luggage one last look.*

*"Are you done packing?"*

*Riya said as soon as she entered the room.*

*"Yes, almost done!"*

*"Why are you wearing a black outfit? I told you to wear blue." She said looking at her angrily.*

*"I don't like blue color and I felt like wearing black, so that's why." She said while moving hair away from her face.*

*"Okay fine, hurry up and pick up your luggage. Where is your luggage?"*

*"Here it is." She said, moving aside from the luggage kept behind her.*

*"Is this your luggage?" She asked looking at her in surprise.*

*"Yes, what happened?"*

*"So little?"*

*"Are we going for 7 days? For one day this is enough." She said while picking up her luggage.*

*"Okay, your choice."*

*After leaving the room and meeting Riya's mom, she handed the luggage to the driver so he could put it in the car's trunk.*

*"Where is your luggage?" she asked while sitting in the car.*

*"I already got it placed in the trunk."*

*"Okay." She said while taking out her mobile from her handbag.*

*They all were sitting in the hall waiting for the rest...*

*It's been quite a while, these people haven't come yet... Zain said while checking the time on his mobile...*

*When I was coming I had told them to come. Riya was saying we'll be there in 5 minutes and Hadia said we are leaving from home...*

*Majid was ignoring everyone and had his eyes fixed on his mobile...*

*Here they come... he said, drawing everyone's attention towards that side...*

*At Zain's words, Majid took his eyes off his mobile and turned them towards them. After giving them one look, he put his eyes back on his mobile. These weren't the ones Majid's eyes were searching for...*

*Both of them came closer to them with slow steps.*

*Why did you take so long?*

*Bro, we had to go pick up Hadia so that's why we got late...*

*Both of them sat on the empty sofa placed together...*

*Majid why didn't you wear blue? Hadia asked him while looking at him...*

*I don't like blue... he said taking his eyes off his mobile and looking at Hadia. He put his mobile in his pocket...*

*We should go pick them up from their house... He said announcing his decision and stood up...*

*Okay...*

*As soon as they reached Majid's house, Majid's guard told both of them that Sir and his friends had just left from here. Mano and Riya got very angry at their behavior...*

*Call them and ask where they are...*

*Mano said to Riya suppressing her anger...*

*Riya took out her mobile from her purse and called Zain...*

*Hello... Zain said after answering the call...*

*Hello kid, where are you people?*

*We are coming to your house to pick you up...*

*And we are at Majid's house. When you said we will be there in 5 minutes then why was there a need to do this stupidity?*

*Okay don't get angry, come back. We are about to reach too...*

*Okay...*

*After cutting the call, both of them sat in the car and left for home...*

*They all met them right at the gate...*

*Are you crazy or what... Mano said as soon as she saw them...*

*It's okay... Salar said looking at them angrily...*

*Wow Mano and Majid's dress is the same color... Hadia said looking at both of them. Now they also started looking at each other in surprise...*

*Which car will we sit in? Mano asked suppressing her embarrassment...*

*In Zain's car... Salar said pointing towards Zain's car...*

*No... Majid said to Salar's words...*

*Why, what happened bro? He asked in surprise at his action. Everyone looked at Majid...*

*I mean there isn't enough space in Zain's car. Javeria, Hadia and Salar will sit there so Mano and Riya can sit in my car...*

*But my luggage is in your car's trunk... Javeria said thinking...*

*So what's the big deal in that. We are going to the same place anyway... Zain said understanding the hint in Majid's words...*

*Okay fine then...*

*According to Majid's decision, everyone sat in the cars...*

*Both of them had prepared very well for the papers, as a result of which both of them got good marks. Their mom got them admitted in a good school. On the children's insistence, she had given them a few days to rest.*

*Both of them were engrossed in watching TV. Their mom had gone to the market. On her way back she had also bought some fruits. Whenever she went to the market she would definitely get fruits for them.*

*Mom has come... At the sound of the house door opening, both of them turned off the TV and went to her...*

*What did you bring? One of them asked seeing many shopping bags in her hands...*

*Your favorite apples... She said smiling. After putting the bags on the table, she herself sat on the sofa...*

*Should I get water, Mom?*

*Yes dear, bring it... Rano you take these bags to the room... She said picking up the bags and went to the room...*

*Here you go Mom, water... She brought it holding the glass tightly...*

*Didn't you spill water in the kitchen?*

*A little bit spilled... She said laughing...*

*Okay no problem...*

*Mom when will we go to school? She asked as soon as she came from the room...*

*From tomorrow... Their mom said placing the glass aside. Listen, earlier I used to drop and pick you from school. But now you'll go by bus, so if anyone bothers you in the bus then tell me. Don't hide it... And if anyone bothers you at school then tell the teacher...*

*When he was coming down the stairs from his room to go to the hall, his eyes fell on Hania. He came down the stairs with quick steps and came close to her... She was instructing the servants about cleaning...*

*Busy? ...He said drawing her attention towards himself...*

*Clean the library properly... She said to the servants ignoring Aryan...*

*Are you upset?...*

*My room wasn't cleaned yesterday so pay attention from now on... She started scolding the servants ignoring him... She was still talking when the servants, without listening to her completely, started leaving from there at one signal from Aryan... She looked at them leaving in surprise. Then turned and glared at him angrily...*

*Why are you looking at me like that darling?...*

*I don't even want to talk to you... She was just about to leave when Aryan caught her arm, stopped her and turned her towards himself... She looked at him in surprise...*

*So you mean you won't talk to me?...*

*I won't... She said shaking her head in refusal...*

*Then fine... He said picking her up in his arms forcefully...*

*Leave... Aryan someone might see... Put me down... She said making a failed attempt to free herself from his arms... He picked her up and climbed the stairs and took her to the room...*

*As soon as they entered the room, he put Hania down...*

*What was that move?...*

*That wasn't a move, that was romance... His dimple showed as he laughed...*

*That wasn't romance, that was indecency... She said in reply to Aryan...*

*And this indecency is mandatory for husband and wife... His dimple got even deeper...*

*She couldn't stop herself from laughing at his words...*
