A girl with principle

Ch-15 A GIRL WHO IS EMBARRASSED

"Mujhe lagta hai mujhe choohe maarne ki dawai try karni chahiye, dard kam hoga. I think I should try rat poison it will be less painful." I moved away from the terrace's wall and leaned my back on it.

Manha sighed, "Jo karna hai jaldi kar mujhe bhook lagi hai plus mujhe neeche Jaa kar sabki batein bhi Sunni hai. Do whatever you want but please hurry I am starving plus I want to go downstairs and listen up what everyone is talking about."

"Main neeche nahi jaungi kabhi bhi. Allah, I am so embarrassed. I am not going downstairs, Ya Allah, I am so embarrassed."

"Itni koi badi baat nahi thi Hooriya. Hota hai yaar. Chod aur mere sath chal. It wasn't a big deal. It happened. So just drop it and come with me." She grabbed my hand and started dragging me downstairs.

"Nahi Manha please. No, please Manha."

We reached downstairs and Manha finally leave my hand. "Sab kahan hain? Where's everyone?"

"Dinner kar rahein honge. They must be having dinner." We walked to the dining area and found everyone settled on their chairs.

"Assalamualeikum!" Manha announced, I was trying to hide behind her, I looked for an empty chair and there was two, one was beside Haidar and one beside my father and in front of Shehriyar Hadi, I decided to take an easy way by sitting beside Haidar but because Manha was ahead of me she hurried herself and sat beside Haidar.

Manha looked at me sympathetically, while I gave her a pleading look. Shehriyar Hadi was busy in eating biryani while my dad staring at me making way towards him. I rubbed my palms.

I settled on my chair. Shehriyar Hadi lifted his eyes and passed a sweet smile. I peeked at my dad who was staring at me, I can tell he was mad at something, I gave a tiny smile back, so tiny that even doesn't count as a smile.

"Tum dono kahan thi? Where were you two?" Dad asked.

"Manha washroom mein thi. Manha was in washroom." I glanced at Manha and pursed my lips to hide a smile.

"Tumne mujhe bataya nahi ke inhone Haidar ko hospital mein admit karwaya tha. You didn't tell me that he admitted Haidar in Hospital."

I gulped down the food I was chewing to answer his questions, "Hum mile hi nahi uske baad se, main yahan thi. We hadn't met after that, I was here."

"Tumne sach mein apni job chor di hai yaa mujhse jhoot bol rahi ho? You really left your job naa or just lying to me?"

"Sach mein chod di hai. No, I really left."

After a while, when dad focused back on his food, Shehriyar Hadi spoke. "Hooriya ne job to chod di hai lekin hamari company ke darwaze uske liye humesha khule rahenge. Hooriya bohot acchi employee hai. She'll be very successful soon. Hooriya left the job but our company's door is always open for her, She is a very good employee. She'll be very successful soon."

I couldn't dare to look up at my dad's expression. "Wo kyu ye job karegi jab uske paas apne abba ka kaam hai sambhalne ko. Why would she do this job when she has her father's work to handle?"

"Lekin mujhe lagta hai wo Interior designing mein intrested hai. But she's interested in Interior designing I guess."

I was flattered that how Shehriyar Haid is defending me but he doesn't know my father. My father and Shehriyar Hadi both stared at me, eagerly Waiting for my response.

I shook my head slowly at my father's direction and he smirked.

After two spoons of biryani, I can't handle it. I can't handle Shehriyar Hadi's stares, he must be counting my bites. I stood up on my feet.
