Noor p.o.v
I called Umar yesterday and he agreed to meet me at the nearest cafe but the truth is I am really scared what if Asad got to know about this , I don't know what he will do , For the first time I felt scared from any man other than my father .
Chill Noor , you are doing this for Rumi , it's about her life you can do this...
I put my hijab properly on my head and look at myself last time in front of the mirror before I left the room .
" Noor " Rumi called me out .
I turned around and saw her coming toward me , she was nervous more than me , she was wearing baby pink Salwar Suits looking innocent and pretty at the same time.
"Do you think, he will understand " Rumi asked nervously.
" I don't know Rumi all I can say , I will try my best okay " I kiss her forehead like a big sister would do at this time .
She look at me with tears in her eyes " You know, you are the sister I never had" with she hugged me .
" What's going on here " A authoritive voice boom at the living room , we both stiffen at the voice .
We both separated and look at Asad and who had confused expression on his face .
Before he could sense something I smiled brightly at him and elbowed Rumi to behave normal who look like she has seen ghost.
He is not less than a ghost anyway...
" Assalawalekom( may peace be upon you ) " I smiled brightly at him.
He narrowed his eyes at my over smiling greet but replied any way
" Walekomassalam ( May peace be upon you too) " He said cautiously.
" Rumi you okay " His eyes shifted to Rumi who stood there like a statue.
" Huh " she asked Asad .
" I asked are you okay , you look unwell " Asad said .
" No I - I " Rumi was shuttering when I cut her off .
" Rumi , you said you have put something on the stove " I made excuse .
She look at me confused " What " I glared at her dumbness.
Realisation dawn on her " Ohh yeah , I am cooking something, bhai I will go and check on the food " with that she left hurriedly and I sigh in relief.
Asad eyes shifted toward me and my breath hitched in fear , I fake smile at him " Allah hafiz " with that I was about to go when he called out.
" If you are going to college, then let's go I will drop you " He said and about to walk past me when my eyes widen.
" NO" I shouted and he look at me surprised.
I closed my eyes in realisation that I overreact " I - Umm I will go by myself thanks for the offer " I tried to walk off when he stop me again.
" It's not an offer , Ammi told me drop you and pick you from now on , it's not safe for a women to go out alone now a days " He said, I clenched my fist in anger.
" Do you think, I cannot take care of myself " I took a step toward him in anger and he closed his eyes in furstation.
" Do you really have to argue at everything, what I say " I can see , he is trying his best not to get angry.
" Yes , now I am going bye " I walk past him but stop immediately when he called out.
" AMMI" my eyes widened and he just smirk .
" Fine " I stomp my feet and walk toward his car .
I enter his car and slam the door shut " Will you stop taking your anger out on my car " He glared at me while sat on the driver seat .
I gave him a sickly sweet smile and open the door then slam it shut loudly " Oops " I made an innocent face.
" You " but he stop himself and look ahead angrily , and started the car .
As soon as we reach our college gate , he slam the brake so hard that if I won't wear seat belt today then , Ya Allah save me from this mad man .
" Were you trying to kill me " I shouted at him angrily.
" Yes " He said with a poker without even looking at me.
" Now get out " My mouth hung open at his word.
I wanted to give him a piece of my mind but then I realised I am getting late , Umar must be waiting for me .
I got out and slam the door shut , I mentally smiled, when he glared at me angrily.
Take that in your face you #######
I pretend to go inside the gate when he started his car drove off .
I sigh in relief and immediately took an auto and went to that cafe .
" Assalawalekom " Umar greeted me as soon as he saw me.
" Walekomassalam " I greeted back .
" Please take a seat " He said while sitting on his chair .
I sat and Umar ordered coffee for us .
" So you called me here , May I know the reason " He asked nervously.
" Umar , it's about Rumi " I started but he cut me off.
" I get it , she doesn't like me and doesn't want to marry me and scared to tell her brother " He ranted nervously.
" No , No you are thinking wrong " I stop his thoughts.
" Then " He asked confused.
" Rumi wants to do interior designing, she is excellent at it and she wants to persue her career after marriage, Asad doesn't like all this and scared that you might not like the idea as well that's why I came here to talk to you about this " I explained him.
But he sat quiet not saying a word , like thinking something " Look Umar , It's Rumi's dream, and it would be great if you will take part in it because she wishes to marry you but if you don't want a ambitious girl who persue her career after marriage then please say no to this marriage, I hope you understand " I sigh but my heartbeat rose quickly when I heard a voice from behind.
" I understood everything " Umar eyes widen and he got up so am I, I turned around only to see a very angry Asad looking at me like he wants to kill me in this moment .
I gulp in fear and clench my clothes while look at him horrified.
Ya Allah please save me please......
