The nerd and Mr. Popular✔️

Chapter 15

I rubbed my eyes and tried to open them. Last night, I slept too late. Suddenly the memories of last night flashed on my mind and my cheeks became red.
Last night I made a clown of myself and I wasn't ready to face him yet.

Well Zaynah, Get up! Or you'll miss your fajr salaah!

I looked at Zara, she got her period last night so she wasn't gonna wake up obviously. I carried my little body to the washroom and did an ablution. After making duaa, I closed my eyes, the soft breeze from the balcony was touching my skin. I stood up from the prayer rug and kept it aside. My feet automatically moved outside.

I was reciting my favorite surah but stopped when a beautiful musical voice rang in my ears. Wait it was Surah Ambiyaa... I was just curious to know who was listening to it this time. I followed the voice and my eyeballs grew large when I found myself standing at the door of Wajahat's room.

I was just confused, I didn't realize that someone was watching me with raised eyebrows.

"Ahem, ahem" the person standing there cleared his throat that broke me out of the trance. I looked at him, WAJAHAT... He was wearing a black kurta with a cap and he was giving me confused weird looks.

Dear Zaynah, if there is a little self-respect in you, then go and die. You got yourself insulted a lot in front of him.

"Naah, nothing...I just followed the voice of Surah and...umm why are you still up?" I plastered a fake smile on my face and tried to change the topic.

" Do I look like I'm going to sleep?" He narrowed his eyes at me.

"Nevermind, umm noice...I mean.. nice voice... which scholar?" I swallowed my saliva and tried to make myself normal.

" Scholar?? Which voice??" He twitched his eyebrows together.

"Umm, I followed the voice reciting Surah Ambiyaa....umm...I don't know..." My cheeks and ears were getting red and hot from the nervousness.

"Well, it was me who reciting this, and thanks for the compliment," he smirked at me.

" You... Seriously? I mean I don't believe you"

"Lol, why?"

" Umm, I mean... You don't look like this," I spat out.

" So how do I look? " His smirk widened.

"Umm, I don't know," I didn't know what to say at this time.

" See if you're judging me then let me tell you that...."

" Hey hey I'm not judging you, it's just I was saying that you have a beautiful voice," I cut him off and spat out. I still remembered how he reacted the last time.

"Well, thank you!" He gave me a weird look and moved his steps downstairs and I let out a deep breath which I was holding for God knows how long.

"Zaynah dear, try this omelet, you're not eating anything honey," Mrs. Mariya passed me a tray of omelets. I nodded sheepishly, Zaynah nudged me with her elbows and a smile was tugging on her lips.

I lifted my head to see Wajahat was also smiling, he looked at me and his smile grew wider. Well, what could I expect more??

"Mom, last night I kept my choco pie in the fridge. I can't find it in the fridge," he glanced at me and asked his mom.

Bitch...

"Check it again Wajahat, there's no jinn in the house who will eat it at midnight,"
