Tension

"Just wait there I'm coming!"

"Hell-"

Without hearing her reply Noora hang up the call, this was the day Noora got her revenge, as the one who cuts the call every time was Anna, Noora said she was coming to pick her up from her office, lucky her! she knew that Anna works at her bother in law's company

Yesterday night, Noora called Anna and told her to take a leave for tomorrow as she wanted to go shopping with Anna once again,

The date has finalized, Noora and Sherry was getting married after 2 weeks,

And Noora wanted her best friend to be with her in her every event, from shopping to taking care of events and to everything else

While Anna who was busy in her own life, she was happy for her friend, Noora's happiness meant a lot for her even if she was not interested in any of that marriage stuff

They went shopping and Noora being Noora she bought everything she could, and Anna being Anna was just following her everywhere like an emotionless robot

Days were flying like a free bird, Noora was busy enjoying her life, she was happy that she is getting married to the same person she loves, on the other hand, Sherry was also busy thinking of the next stage of his life,

Zain was busy in his business yet he was taking care of all the arrangements for his brother's marriage, however, in his busy life he still managed to think about Anna, even if he doesn't show the thought of her never left his head

Whereas Anna was also busy making her project yet she had a little girl at her home who felt like her own daughter, she had to take care of Maria, she also had to take care of her work yet she was trying her best to accompany her friend in her happiness

Everyone was busy yet they were trying their best to make their living better.~

"Are your nerves?"

"Kinda"

Anna spoke as her nervousness wasn't even a matter whereas, her face showed the exact emotions of how she actually feels, there was a storm was going on, in her mind, the day she had to present her project, the project she was working on for so long,

it meant a lot for her, but a problem was there,

*Center of attention*

She had to do a presentation and that means she was going to be the main point of everyone's attention

she was nervous, worried, anxious

What she could do at this point, was just to calm her racing heart, the courage she had to gather was nowhere to find

"I can see the anxiety on your face!"

Hearing him Anna turned her face and gaze at Daniel and let out a deep sigh,

she knew, she can't hide her facial expressions, but that was not theee main concern here

"Uou know! um- nothing"

She could tell him about her social anxiety but then how would it help, even if she tells him that doesn't change anything,

"What? you want to share something?"

Daniel knew exactly what was going inside her mind he could tell how she feels, maybe he could sense the anxiety in her voice,

When he saw at getting a panic attack at that party before, he could tell she was going through something like that,

Anna again turned her eyes towards him before looking down, she wasn't that comfortable telling him anything personal

"No there's nothing!"

Without looking in his eyes she utters still looking down

"Fine, if you want to tell me then I'll leave you here alone, just try to calm down or you will ruin your presentation!"

Saying that Daniel left her alone, his words were calming, comforting which put the rest on her storming thoughts

Anna leaned her head back on her, closing her eyes she took some deep breaths, thinking, maybe that will help,

she got up to collect her things and lead her way to the meeting compartment,

______

Zain was sitting on his chair when his sights landed on a girl walking her gaze was glued on the ground as if she was thinking something critical, Zain could also sense the tension in the atmosphere, she puts her documents on that huge table before she seated herself down on a chair, her hand reached to a water bottle, picking it up she gulps down the whole bottle of water in one go, was her throat that dry?

Anna put the bottle down before her gaze go directly to the person who was glaring at her since the very start, maybe she felt his stare, their eyes locked for a second before Zain turns his gaze away as if he was never the one how was staring at her,

Anna looked down again before her eyes went towards to screen and the place where she had to give that declaration of her project,

Taking a deep breath Anna got up as it was her turn now, she walked towards the screen and stood there still looking like a statue, she turned around, and with her back facing everyone she starts speaking,

Without looking back even once she completed her speech about her project and turned back, her eyes met with the person sitting on the chair in front of her, Zain nodded a little indicating her that she did a great job,

And that nod was enough for her to feel a little confidence, a sigh left her mouth as she was a little relieved now, she went back to her seat without looking at anyone and sat down.

Her first presentation went a lot better than she thought, but she was slightly sad that she didn't interact with anyone nor she gave anyone the chance to ask any questions, she just uttered everything straight and went back to her seat.

And right now she could just think for disappearing from everyone's sights ~
