2 Chapter 1 Heart touching conversations

It's not easy to forget someone close to your heart or whom you have already got feelings for but you can try it will either work out or not..rest leave upon Allah.

I plan you plan but out of all plans Allah plans best.

Thank you so much RashmiGadekar4 for above cover.

Aisha:

Well you must have heard alot about me then I will skip that part am not much of a social person I can even stay on my own for half of the day.

My family and Yumna's family have been friends throughout their lives they even do business together, family gatherings, even when Yumna's and Imran's parents passed away we decided to stand by their side so they don't feel lonely and we had to be there for them since we had strong bond.

It's not easy to stay without parents but all we can do is pray for them.

Yumna: Well she's one of my best friend and always by my side I did my duty so it was like we were together throughout our lives and then there was her brother Imran. That guy just caught my attention without him realizing that's weird yeah?but it just happens and it happened to me.

In the beginning I tried a lot not to Interact with him but my innocent heart just had to have feelings for him. I used to see him everywhere and then some discussions happened though he tried to avoid me after his parents death as if I didn't exist he drowned himself in his office as if it was his first home and that hurt because he gave time to everyone except me.

I don't even know what to do, I so want to admit my feelings to him but I never had courage I am too shy for these stuffs and I know he will either leave me hanging or reply back with his rude remark..."What should I do?"

I entered the kitchen to help mum she was preparing tea and frying potatoes seemed like she was trying out new dish today for evening meal.

I drink tea just to avoid headache some of us have that mentality that when you drink tea you will not have much headache while some don't drink it in morning they prefer milk, It was afternoon, we usually have four meals a day sometimes three it depends.

Well, our kitchen is large but not fancy type since we are comfortable cooking that's all matters, we have fridge at side near the door and at the other angle were there are lots of tins for snacks whenever anyone is hungry is free to open and eat and there is small side where we have tap one for cold water and hot sometimes, and lastly a special tin for soap sometimes the smell of soap just discourages me to enter kitchen washing sticky utensils when we have barbecue.

"Mum, let me fry and you can just go and relax with dad," I told her since most of her time goes in kitchen.

She just looked at me as if I had grown two heads..just kidding.

"My daughter has grown up ?MashaaAllah, learn cooking it will help you in future as well," she told me with a smile on her face and she put plate and tissue on top making work for me easier sometimes I just have to drag her out myself so she relaxes.

"Favourite dialogue of all ladies," Don't you think so?they all say it will help you in future but in a way it's true we really need to learn to do other things and be independent.

"We need to talk dear, you know you are growing older and you have refused some proposals and there's this friend of mine she has been asking me for your hand in marriage for her son," she told me again this topic which I have been ignoring I am only 22, though I know mum is saying only for my well being and guess what whenever this topic comes across I become all nervous and shy.

"Mum, I want to tell you something but please don't freak out," she took a stool and sat just a bit far from gas waiting curiously and now we were discussing in kitchen?

She was smiling as if she knew what I was about to say but wasn't she talking about her best friend sending proposal?sometimes mothers are confusing but best.

I will just tell her I hope she will understand my situation I have been trying to forget him but I need time what if I meet him again?

"Mum mhhh....I like someone and you know him, his name is Imran," I told her while she just looked at me while smiling as if she knew something was wrong since she found out and she was waiting for me to admit.

"Should I talk to him dear?no one can control their feelings dear but you have to be careful you know It's always said, one day Allah will send someone, at first guy will be stranger or you may have met him many times but never knew this will happen then he will make you feel like princess, care for you, love you and make you feel like you are special one but you just have to wait for right time InshaaAllah," that's the advice I needed most that's why when it comes to such situations mothers are best I hugged her and heavy tears rolled down my cheeks. May be because I have become emotional wreck these days

"Thank you so much mum but Imran doesn't even look at me and when he looks at me it's like as if my presence hurts him like he always tries to avoid me," I told her remembering some of his words and how he never looked my way when we used to be in groups.

"Give him some time dear sometimes people hide their feelings I know that guy cares for you I don't know what's holding him back, I am with you in this and don't worry about your dad well he will understand, am glad you didn't hide anything,"she explained to me while we went to the sitting room she has always trusted me and it was my duty to tell her.

"While going to dad who was watching Liverpool and man UTD for sure he's Manchester United fan, we kept food on table and called him," I told my mum everything even to point where I am trying to forget him.

"Dad, please tea is getting cold,"I called him though we know he won't come till it's halftime.

We sat on round table where by upper part is moving so It's easy for everyone to move it and serve whatever they want.

We are not allowed to use phones while eating that's family rule so I kept phone near if It's emergency.

A ring snapped me out of my thoughts and I stared a my mum she nodded I picked it and whispered It's Yumna, a wide smile appeared on my lips.

I hope there is no other meeting before wedding I will have to face Imran.

"Waleikumsalam," I replied her while taking a bite of potatoes and soon heard dad yelling yes yes, I guess dad's team scored goal.

"But....I can't come," I told her hoping she will agree today only I listened to my mind of ignoring Imran and this situation had to come up where by I can't say no to my best friend.

I agreed and soon dad came we talked about wedding stuff of Yumna and Ahad...I wish I find my special someone and every girl who dreams may Allah send someone for them soon...Ameen.

*******

I left mum and dad at home It's good dad was at home since mum needed company I hardly leave my mum at home alone It's scary nowadays to stay alone.

I can't even sleep without a light in my room I usually on the switch and get little bit of light through bulb which is green hence it's not good to read in darkness and I have very bad habit of reading books and checking out applications before sleeping and then pray and sleep after doing ablution.

I hate music, I listen when I watch movie but very rare so I went to a shop to buy earphones to listen to nasheeds nowadays earphones don't even last long everything seems fake, it took me long since I decided to walk It's almost Maghreb we are always told to be home before Maghrib prayer.

I knocked on at Yumna's house door already ten minutes late I will get great scolding from her.

I knocked twice and while I was about to knock third time someone I least expected to open the door opened and I just stared at......

Ya Allah what are your plans?The more I try to avoid the more he appears.

Note:

"Whose at door?"
