Fallen

Chapter 21

Basmahs POV.

I didnt expect staying at home and doing nothing will be this life threatening and unbearable. Like everyone leaves to work and i am suppose to stay at home to linger around, cook my life out, watch t.v till theres nothing to watch and exhaust my poor data, then wait for amazing souls to come home, and unshamingly ask for food. Just a month after grad and i am left to die.

So i came to a conclusion to go somewhere, maybe a park to breath in fresh air. I left the house after lunch without knowing where am heading but later on the road came up with the park. I entered the venue and it was near explosion  due to the amount of people the heck, a fun fair is going on... Before a second tought, i reversed my mini c and left. I found myself in a cinema afterwards. The first hall is watching Raees while the second hall is watching Hotel Transylvania. Ive watched Raees, But Hotel Transylvania 3! no, the movie started just 20 mins ago so i guess i didnt miss much. I purchased popcorn and frozen cream for my consumption.

I was lucky enough to have the last seat, at the 90° angle. I squeezed my way there apologising to each individual, if not cause the lights are off i might be met with glares.

I finally met my seat and gummed my eyes to the screen sinking into the movie. If you dont laugh watching this, your case is spiritual.

"I miss your laugh"

I heard beside me, i didnt think it was directed to me so i ignored, and continued munching my popped corn.

"I miss your smile"

So now i turned to look at the couple i assume sitting beside me. I saw a familiar face beside me, the owner of the face goes by the name Jamal. It wasnt a couple but him saying so. I stopped chewing my dearest popcorn. Of course the hall is dimly lit so i could not make out his face properly but am sure i looked like an owl. I then gathered myself and asked

"Are you talking to me?" i pointed my index finger at myself and hugged my popcorn to my chest for protection. My heart is planning on prison break.

"Yes you" He turned his body to look at me, he placed his hand on the hand support then rested his head on the hand. "How have you been?" he asked.

"I have been well Alhamdulillah" I mustered enough courage to ask him when he looked like he was not planning on looking  away "Where have you being? Where did you go?"

He looked at the wall behind me for a minute then looked at me then back at the screen, or whatever the movie is displayed on.

"School, ive being in school, Miami, Florida. Am now a pilot FYI" he looked at me and wiggled his eyebrows with a smirk dancing on his lips.

I laughed at his action "oh then Congrats! So you decided to cut us all out huh? since you graduated?" i didnt know where it came from but i said it anyway.

"Well you know, somethings just happen" he gave me that reply.

"Yeah, they do" I agreed with him on this one, somethings, just happen..

We continued watching with a silence but i bet my left dimple his mind is as cramped as mine, mostly with unsaid words.

"Where is Arfa?" He asked

"Well, i dont know about that" I answered him honestly

"What do you mean you dont know?" he asked, obviously surprised.

"Well after high school she moved to New york to stay with her brother, and i dont hear from her anymore"

He ooed, then maintained the silence "what have you studied?" he asked.

I guess ill have to watch Transylvania all over again some other time...

And thats how we continued conversing in hushed tones, catching up on missed years and filling up the cavities. 

After the movie he offered to drive me home, i had to solve an equation on whether i should just ditch my car and ride in his muscular-yet-beautiful black shiny Dodge orrr just drive myself back home, in my one door. I told him am with my car so no need, he shrugged and said "good to see you" he smiled liked a kid that just found his missing toy, he entered his sleek black machine, and drove away. I watched his car disappear into the street lights, its already maghrib so i called my mother to tell her ill drop at Hauwas' and i might be late home.

I entered their house which never fails to amuse me of its beauty, the lawn that leads to the door way is enough to take your breath. I entered through the double door that opens to the staircase, the sitting rooms are at the other sides of the house so i can easily go to her room without having to greet anyone. I found her in her room as expected on the prayer mat. I moved more inside the room and jumped on her bed and that in formed her that someone is in her room.

"the heck is wrong with you?" she asked.

"Nothing baby, nothing" I replied staring at the ceiling that a chandelier is dangling from. "How is my brother?" i asked.
I am proudly going to say that i hooked my brother and my freind and they are couple now thanks to me, they complete each other and i cannot be more happy.

I twisted my neck to look at her, She looked like a chilli because of her extreme blush. I laughed hard at her and she just kept looking at me with a confused look.

She asked again "Are you sure you are okay?" raising an eyebrow.

"am just happy babe"

"I see that, what exactly is not right with you then?"

"lemme pray first" I said getting up.

"please go ahead" she gestured towards the bathroom.

After i prayed i told her about my meeting with Jamal, i told her he was my senior and just what happened today and nothing from the past. All through she kept on bringing up Taheer. I had to keep telling her we are not a couple and she finally believed after throwing multiple tantrums. I had dinner at her place and at about 9 i left for home. She shooed me out saying she has a phone call to make and its to my brother, how shameless of her.

Driving back home alone was really quite, i reminded myself in the car of what kept Jamal and i apart in the past years, i felt uneasy but immedietly brushed out the tought. I do not want to welcome that back.
