Chapter Nine

Aisha's POV

"What's this craziness all about Zee? I ask sounding irritating

"What? Now I'm acting crazy?!" She exclaim

'Yes,you're, what did you drag me all the way here for?"

"Playing dumb right? Aisha you know..........I thought I'm your best friend and your one and only sister?"

"Yes you're, so what're you trying to imply here?"

"What I'm trying to imply here is that,how could you and Aryan be together,and I'm just hearing it now,I mean why am I the last person to know about it?"

"Zainab!....God why have you given me the dumbest sister?.....The last time I checked lady I and Aryan are not into any kind of relationship, we're only friends,yes I like him a lot but we're not dating"

"What? I thought Adyan said you gave Aryan a chance into your life?" She ask confused

"What he's trying to say is that....I am opening my heart for Aryan.....not dating him" idiot!

"But why didn't you tell me,I thought we're close more than that"

"Yes we're sister,I'm planning to tell you today,but never knew it would turn out this way I'm sorry"

"Its fine Aisha,but you have to tell me everything,you know that"

"Of course your Highness,so can i have a seat now? I'm tired of standing"

"Yes of course. So tell me about it"

"OK....you see,ever since the incident that occur three days ago,I and Aryan have been so close,but before that,I met this lady Fatima she's Aryan Senior sister,so we became friends,and Errmm.....Errmm....she....ask me....to...to make his brother....fall.....for me" I whisper the last part

"What? Innalillah.....Are you a slut?!"

"Shuush keep your voice down,the rest of the house might hear you!"

"Then let them do! I really don't care!. Aisha what're you? And you accept her offer? How much is she paying you?"

"What?! You're an idiot,just lemme finish what I'm saying then you can conclude on your judgement.... OK?"

"OK I'm listening"

"Though I had something for Aryan but I can't just picture what it's, so she called me one day to join her for lunch,then she told me that their parents got separated when they were both kids,she said their mom left their Dad for another Man, and it was Aryan who suffers the most,so ever since then he never believe in love, he believes all ladies are the same and"-

"Wow! Just like your perspective about guys"

"Now you get what I'm trying to say dear sister"

"You guys both has the same chemistry "she said smirking and I nod in response even though I know she's is teasing me

"So she wanted me to change him for good,and you see after that incident, that where I found out I like him,I really do Zee"

"Kyaaah! My sister is in love at last!" She squeal in happiness

'But what's amazing most is that how did Adyan know I had feelings for Aryan?"

'Yeah,that's true. Or is he spying on you?"

"Spy?....what...Me...How.... I mean-"

"He likes you right? He might be spying on you" she said pointing her finger at me

"Yes,you're right" I nod in agreement

"So enough of me,let talk about you"

"What about me?"

"The grooms family are coming tomorrow, aren't you anxious?"

"Uhmmm.....actually I'm a little bit anxious"

'Wow! I cant believe my sister will get married soon"

"Shut your mouth I'm not getting married yet,they only want to come for an introduction"

"Yes yes I know that,good night sister I really need a good sleep. You know what they usually say early to bed early to rise"

"Okay good night"

Alhamdulillah that I've prayed before coming home,now that I'm tired already. Oh My God! I forgot to talk to Dad and Mom. lemme go to their room so that I could talk to them both. just as I was about to stand up I heard a knocking on my door

"As-salamu Alaikum (peace be upon you)"that's Abba's voice

"Wa-alaikum salam(peace be upon you too)"dad come in

"Aren't you asleep yet?"

'Yes Abba I'm not,but why did you knock when you could have just entered"

"Never mind me,so?"

"So?" I whine

"Ibrahim I thought we'll both talk to her as her parents " Mom barged in

"Umma!" I exclaim

'Yes favorite sugar pie" I roll my eyes at her response,that what she usually call me when ever she want to tease me

"Stop teasing me Mom"

"My beautiful dear wife will you please sit and let talk to this young lady sitting here"

"OK fine you always know how to spoil my mood"

"So Aisha,as i was saying about Aryan,do you really like him?"

"Dad? How Awkward to be in this kind of conversation with Dad,better Mom,Dad is a man for God sake" I thought

"Erm....Erm Dad?"

"Yes I'm all listening princess"

"No we're all listening " Umma corrected

I roll my eyes once again before i reply"Yes Abba I do like him" I said nodding my head

"I'm happy that my daughter has finally given love a chance into her life" Umma said clasping both her hands

"Mom,Dad......I'm sorry"

"You're sorry? for what?"

"Adyan....you know he said he love me not as his sister,but he want me as his wife,but...I....I like someone else I-"

"It OK my dear,I'm only happy that finally and very soon my beautiful daughter will get married one day,I've been wondering how will I marry you off to a guy when you don't like any of them but only hatred,I'm in support for your decision and don't worry about Adyan I will talk to him but that Aryan mustn't hurt you,coz if he did he will have to face me"

"But-"

"No any but Aisha" he cut me off

"But Abba-"

"No Aisha" he cut me off again

"Dad just listen to-"

"No can do "

"Abba I only-"

"You only what?"

"I.....you know....he....I mean....I....It just that he hasn't tell me....he likes me too"

"WHAT?!" They both exclaim

"But I thought we heard Adyan saying you're giving him a chance right? Which means you two are dating" Umma said

"No Umma,you all are taking it in a wrong way,I like Aryan but I haven't confess my feelings to him,for now he only sees me as a friend and I respect that for now"

"You're such a naive girl,he likes you too,did you know how worried he sound the day he called us? He sounded as if you're dead,like you wouldn't be alive again."

"Really Dad?" I asked sounding hopeful

"Yes princess"

"But Umma, Abba, I love Aryan,I really do,I'm scared Mom, what if I end up just like my Mom? What if may be we both express our feelings in future and he later treat me bad,I really don't want to end up like my Mom,what if he also cheat on me in future?"

"My dear stop pacing for no reason, Aryan can never be like your Dad,he's a different Man,he's a man of  reputation he won't want to terminate his image,I like him already because he saved you" Mom said happily

"But Mom-"

"No my dear,just have it in mind that you don't have same Fate as your mother, you won't go through what she did. OK?"

"OK Mom.... Thank you Dad,Mom"

"You're welcome dear"

"Just wait and be patient,its said that those who are patient are the once who gains the most valuable things most" Dad said

"OK Dad"

"Now go to sleep it late already"

"Yes Dad let all go to sleep,tomorrow is a big day"

"Good night princess" Dad said

"Good night my dear" Mom said and they both walk out

Sighing I thought to my self "I really need to talk to Adyan,I feel bad for him but how comes I never knew he has feelings for me,oh my God! Is that why he always act protective and possessive all the time? Now I get it but I'm really sorry Adyan I can't give in into what you've ask for,now my heart belongs to someone else, to the Arrogant boss of mine"

Come to think of it, "today is all about him my handsome boss"
