Kismat

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Assalamoalaikum!! (bhool gaye na mujhe?)

HEY GUYS!!!! GUESS WHAT.

I've UPDATEDDDDDD. Okay this chapter was a long time coming, and I'm so sorry that it took me so long but if you had seen my schedule in the past four months, you would've cried for me.

I'm really sorry that I am not getting too much time to update, I'm really trying to balance but in the midst of applications, studies and family, I'm just not getting enough time.

But no worries, I have updated this chapter. I make no promises for when Chapter 17 is going to be updated, although I do want to update by Ayaan's birthday. Comment if you remember his birthday ;)

Ab filhaal iss update ke liye ek chota sa warning: dil thaam lo ;)

Enjoy!!

Sakinah's POV

"Aapi."

"Aapi."

"Aapi."

"Aapi!" Ayaan yelled. I looked up from packing my bag. I closed my eyes and let out a sharp breath.

"Kya hai, Ayaan." I glared at him and returned my attention to my bag. "Tum dekh nahi sakte ke main kaam kar rahi hoon?"

"Mujhe khaana chahiye." I leveled a flat look at him.

"Toh jaa kar kitchen mein se kuch le lo, maine lunch already bana ke rakh diya hai tum teenon ke liye."

"Nahi, tum apne haathon se laa kar do." He insisted, like an insolent child. I sighed.

"Ayaan, I have the parent-teacher meeting today and I'm already running late." I checked and re-checked my files before lugging the tote downstairs. Ayaan reluctantly took it from me before following me down.

"Tumhein apne school ke bacchon ki hi padhi hai, hum bhooke marr jaaye, uss se tumhein koi khaas fark nahi padhta." He grumbled. I smacked his head.

"Hamesha manhoos baatein. Agar school ka khayal naa hota toh aaj tak iss ghar mein ek nivala bhi na aaya hota. Chup kar jao abhi, main jaa rahi hoon, sham tak aa jaongi." I twisted and proceeded to the car, my movements hurried. It was too late, the conference was supposed to start at 9, and it was already 8:40.

"Ayaan, usse peeche rakh do. Aaram se rakhna, kuch gir na jaaye." I palmed my car keys and sat in the car.

"Kitne der tak aaogi?"

"Hm, chaar paanch baje tak toh aa hi jaaongi." I thought before giving him an estimate. He nodded once and backed away from the car, waving as I went off.

I reached the school just in time. Parents littered the parking lot towing their children who looked as if they could melt into the ground. I smiled sadly, remembering how much I'd wished someone would come for my parent-teacher meetings, yet there wasn't anyone there. Ayaan, Sabrina and Rizwan all had me to go to theirs with them, but who did I have?

I shook it off, getting out of the car and lugging my tote.

Get yourself together Sakinah, inn sab baatein doharane se kuch nahi hota. Bewakoofi wala kaam hai.

I sucked in a breath and walked in.

"Oh my god Sakinah, there you are." Kathy came running up to me the second my foot touched the ceramic tiled floor. My name came out funny because of her accent, with a longer emphasis on the vowels. I smiled and greeted her.

"I'm not late, why are you out of breath?" I walked towards my classroom. It was only five minutes to nine.

"There's already a parent waiting for you, he says that he has an important business meeting to go to and can't waste time here." My demeanour shifted the second I heard her.
