HIS

Chapter 40.

Manahil's POV.
Getting excited to meet Haaniyah, I was just getting impatient to reach there as soon as i could. Looking out at the mountains and the greenery, I was enjoying the cold breez of Murree. All the last memories of Murree start coming to my mind making me sad for few seconds. But i just didnt bother to think about those days as i was going to meet Haaniyah today. From the hot weather of karachi to this cool breezing weather of murree, It was so loving and relaxing that i was feeling stress free all of sudden. Taking the turns again and again the driver was driving carefully the cab while i was just wanted to fly to reach my Haaniyah. 10 years were a very long time. I had missed her. So much that now it was diffucult for me to wait for any longer.

As the cab stopped in front of the house, i paied the bill to the driver and took my luggage out. With a smile, I marched in. Crossing the main gate, my feet took pace to reach inside where i could see my best friend. As I reached there, I stopped and took a deep breath to open the door.

"Haaniyah." As i pushed the door, I just couldn't stop myself from calling her.

How much i missed her!!.

"Haaniyah." Entering the hall, I looked around to find her,to find anyone but there was no one to be seen.

Even not at the main gate, i didn't saw any guard. That was strange.

"Haaniyah." Looking around, I yelled this time her name.

"Haaniyah." Calling again as i turned, my eyes landed on them who were coming down from the stairs.

Hands in hand, looking beautiful like always. I jusy kept looking at them who didn't change but become more beautiful and it was really true that they were meant for each other. My eyes filled up with water when i saw her eho was looking so pretty in pink frock so cute just like my Haaniyah. My best friend. She was.

"Haaniyah." Yelling with happiness, I took steps ahead to hug her.

Throwing the shoulder bag on the floor, I ran toward the stairs and without caring anything, i just hugged her.

"Missed you so so so much best friend." Hugging her, I said and moved back to see her sho was standing shock with wide eyes.

"Hey what happened?" Waving my hand in front of her, I said but giggled my own and hugged her again.

"I really missed you Haaniyah." Saying i moved back to look at her who was silent and was looking at me like i was a stranger.

"Manahil." On his voice, i turned my head toward Haider who was standing just by her side.

"Assalam-u-Alikum Haider bhaiiiii." I said while shaking hand with him who smiled on me calling him bhai (brother).

"Walikumusalm. You didn't change." Saying, he smiled and i looked at Haaniyah who was standing still.

"What happened to you? Why are you not saying anything? You didn't miss me? I know you didn't. No one loves me." Saying i wiped my unseen abd unshed tears to make her smile but she was all quite.

"Let's go there and then talk." Haider said and i realized that i stopped them on the stairs.

"Sorry. Come." Saying i walked ahead toward the hall while both of them followed me.

"Sit Manahil and thank you so much for coming." Said Haider and i just could smile while my eyes were all the time on Haaniyah who was looking at me silently.

"Haaniyah go and bring some refreshments for your friend. You know na she's a food lover." He said and Haaniyah for the first time smiled and walked toward kitchen and i looked back at Haider confused.
