ISHQ-E-MUNTAZIR

8. The silence breaker🥀

SAMIYA POV
I gathered courage and went toward bhaijaans room
I took a deep breath and I was about to knock when the room opened
It was bhaijaan and he was on a call
He looked at me and raised his eyebrow
'I want to talk to you' I mouthed so that his call doesn't gets interrupted
My heart beating so fast I could hear it

'I'll talk to you later I have some important work' I thought he said that to me but the removed the phone from his ear and looked at me

'G bolein' he said to me
(Yes?)
Looking at me
Straight in my eyes
'I have to talk to you about.. um..us?' I said confused and he chuckled
'Why are you laughing' I frowned
'Why are you so frustrated come on let's talk in my room' he said and gave me way to enter his room

My shoulder touched his chest
I know it was accidental but still I felt the sparks

I went inside and sat down on his bed and he sat on the couch
'What did you want to talk about?' He asked with a raised eyebrow
He's acting as if he wasn't the one who didn't talk to me for whole week
'Why weren't we talking the whole week? Why were you ignoring me?' I asked
And he looked......shocked?

'I thought it was the best thing for both of us especially after that week' he replied
'And how is it the best for both of us when one of us didn't agree with the idea or didn't knew what was happening' I said to him now getting angry

'I know that was wrong and I'm sorry about it' he was extra calm and that was triggering me more
'You're only sorry when I confronted you about it or were you never planning on talking to me?' I raised my eyebrow
I waited but no answer
Instead he looked away and I stood up and left the room

SAAD POV
Do I really have to talk shit every time and mess up the situation than it already is
I don't know what my problem is but I just can't say anything right in front of her
It's like my mind closes and I just want to hear her talk and talk forever

I facepalmed myself and took a deep breath
I went behind her and held her arm
The sudden movement startled her
She looked at me in the eyes

I looked at her
Thankgod we were near her room and nobody comes here
I placed her hair behind her ear
'I'm sorry' I whispered
She looked at me and blinked
A tear dropped down her eye
'Hey why are you crying I'm sorry' I said wiping her tear

She hugged me tightly leaving me shocked

As soon as I hugged her back she pushed me and ran to her room
I didn't know what happened
What the hell happened

I am so confused

It took me almost a day to realize and digest what had happened
SHE hugged me
SHE
No way

That clearly means she likes me right?
If she cares so much
She must like me

I thought about it for a whole day and I know what I'm going to do now
And this is the last chance

SAMIYA POV
It was dinner time
My mind was still caught on what I did before
Why did I hug him
And why did it feel so good?
So secure?

I went to the dining table hoping not to interact with him and he wasn't there
Apparently he had some 'work'

'Samiya can you get the teapot from the kitchen' aapi asked and i nodded
I bought the teapot and the cups

'So I thought of something. Me and mehrul are going on a trip with the boys this weekend' sameer bhai said
I smiled immediately
'Aakhir aapko biwi ke liye waqt mil hi gaya shukar ha' aapi relied with a smile on her face
(You finally got time for your wife? Thankgod'
'Arey begum Aapke liye tou waqt hi waqt ga aap hukum tou karein' Sameer bhai replied with his cheesy smile
(I have all the time for you, you just command)

'Bhai aap jo ye khulle mai besharmi karte ho na hum yahan single hain' zohan bhai said making us all laugh
(the way you become so shameless in public,don't forget there are singles here)
'Han han raat mai phone pe jiske saath hota ha na tu sab pta ha mujhe' Sameer btai said with a smirk and zohan bhai's eyes widened
(Sure sure I know all the late night calls with that someone)
'Are nahi nahi aap karo sabke saamne apne Pyar ka izhar karo hum kon hain bolne wale' he replied immediately
(No no who we are to say something, you show all the love you want to)

'Acha Samiya mujhe Kuch baat karni ha baad mai mere room mai tou ana' api said to me and I nodded
(Samiya I have to talk to you about something, come to my room later)
Everybody had dinner and we all went to the lounge when bhaijaan arrived
'Saad yaar tune dinner miss kardia Aaj ka, itne maze ki biryani bani thi na aaye Haye' mahd bhai said patting his stomach
(Saad bro you missed todays dinner, the biryani amazing)

'Bhae tujhe Kachra bhi Acha lagta ha khaane mai' bhaijaan replied
(You will even like garbage if it's in dinner)
'Acha tou mai aur mehrul Parso Nikal rhe hain aur hamare do Shaitan hamare saath aa rhe hain. Aur 1 hafte mai wapsi ajaenge' sameer bhai explained
(Ok so me and mehrul are leaving day after tomorrow and our boys are coming with us and hopefully we'll be back in a week)
Everybody was excited especially for aapi as she finally was getting the break she wanted

Everybody started going to their room and I went to aapi's room
'Yes?' I asked for entering her room
'I wanted to talk to you about saad' she said and I nodded
My heartbeat got faster but I made sure I didn't express it

'Samiya if you're not interested in him then tell me because mama's friends wants saad as her son in law and mama keh rhi thi ke agar saad aur Samiya ki baat agar agle 10 din mai aage nhi bar hi tou she'll talk with her friend about the marriage' aapi explained and I wasn't able to digest the information
(...and mama was saying that if Samiya and saad aren't together in the next 10 days that's she'll...)

'I thought it was the best thing for both of us especially after that week' he replied
'And how is it the best for both of us when one of us didn't agree with the idea or didn't knew what was happening' I said to him now fully angry

'I know that was wrong and I'm sorry about it' he was extra calm and that was triggering me more
'You're only sorry when I confronted you about it or were you never planning on talking to me?' I raised my eyebrow

I remembered our conversation from the morning
I don't know how I feel about the fact that he didn't even ask me or talk to me before taking decision that involves both of us

'I'm not sure about it. Can you give me a day?' I asked her
'Sure I can but I see the hesitation and I know there's definitely something that happened between you both. If you're not sure by tomorrow than you shouldn't marry him' she said to me
It was the first time api had advised me to not marry him
And I was a little shocked to hear that

All these signs to not marry him but how can I see him with another girl especially when I feel for him so much
'Ok' I said to aapi and left the room

Hellooooooo
