I arrived at the grocery store a bit early today because I didn’t walk all the way here and I had done all my work at the bakery ahead of time. I was standing behind the counter attention to a customer when Aya made an announcement "Dear customers kindly shop your groceries fast because the store will be closed in less than an hour due to some reasons and for my workers please stay behind after the store close, we have an important meeting afterward"“Here are your groceries, thank you for shopping with us," I said as I handed the shopping bag over to himAfter the grocery store closed, all the workers including me stayed back as asked. I kept wondering why Aya will close the store early despite it wasn’t open the day before today."Hello everyone, sorry for making you wait," Aya said immediately as she walked in.Aya came in with a man and a lady. I’m assuming the man is her husband."This is my husband Adnan and this is my friend Maha" she announced "Anyways the reason I closed
THREE PERSON POINT OF VIEW The sun was shining bright as it shade its ray through the window directly on Afraah's fair skin. Her skin glittered as her eyeballs began to move around adjusting to the brightness of the room.She slowly opened her eyes and let out a long yawn before she stretched her arms.She quickly walked to the bathroom and perfumed ablution. Soon after she performed ablution, she wore her hijab and prayed.She had already concluded prayer when she heard a buzz from her cell phone which was kept on the bed beside her, she picked up the phone and glanced at the number calling, it was Rayan "Hello" He said almost immediately as she answered the call "Hello" "I know you must be thinking about why I called you in the morning but I wanted to confirm if you’re coming to city lake with me" He hastily asked She had a smile on her face as he was talking "Slow down, why are you in a rush?""I just wanted to know what you will say, and today is Sunday so you have no right
I walked outside the house with him, I could sense the anger and shock that hit Noor's heart, I’m sure Noor must be thinking of so many things right now, she might be wondering how and when I met Rayan. I was surprised when I saw his outfit, I have never thought that he wears a kaftan as I have never seen him wear one before.There was silence in the car for almost ten minutes, I didn’t know what to say and I think he is also wondering how he will start a conversation.As he turned on the radio I knew it was just a way to break the silence.A chill refreshing air blew through my face, I let out a laugh when the show host on-air said something funny. He turned back and looked at me, it seems like he didn’t find it funny as much as I did."How is Khalil doing? I hope there isn’t a problem" He said I turned back and looked at him, he always starts a conversation by asking about Khalil’s health"Khalil is fine" I responded He glanced at me as he turned back and watch the road"That’s wh
When we entered the car, he drove out of the park in a rush "Are you okay? Slow down" I said but he didn’t respond "What did you say?" he asked immediately after he drove out of the park "Why are you in a hurry?" "As they say, a hungry man is an angry man" he laughed"What! how is that connected with what I said," I asked as I stared at himHe glanced at me before he spoke "It is connected, I am hungry that’s why I’m driving fast"I raised an eyebrow, as I turned and stared at him "You can’t be serious right now, and how…..""I am but don’t worry, we are almost there" he interrupted The drive to the restaurant was short, he was right the restaurant is just a few miles away from the park.Shortly after we entered the restaurant,we took a sit as the waiter gently walked towards us and kept the menu at the edge of the table, he was about to leave when Rayan spoke "Haden, bring two glasses of water before we choose something from the menu"The waiter nodded in agreement before he
Shortly we arrived at the house"Thank you for everything," I said immediately as he parked the car, I was about to step out when he spoke "This is for Khalil." He said as he handed over a leather bag"I can’t believe he packed something for Khalil"I thought I stared at the leather bag, thinking if I should collect it or not "He has done so much already, today was an amazing day all thanks to him and I wouldn’t have ever been to city lake if it wasn’t for him," I thought He snapped his fingers as he spoke "Take it""You have done soo much already and I can’t..""It’s not for you, it’s for Khalil," He said as he brought it closer to me"Thank you" I instantly said as I collect the bag and stepped out of the car"I will walk you to the door," He said before he stepped out and walked closer to me"I hope you don’t mind," He asked immediately as he noticed a change in my facial reaction "Of course, I don’t," I said as I tried to fake a smile.Oh God, I just hope Noor doesn’t create
My eyes flutter open as the sound of my alarm gets louder and louder, the ray of sunshine peeps through my curtain, and I reached out for my phone to turn off the alarm. As I sit on the bed, stretching out a loud yawn escapes my mouth "I need to get ready….Just five more minutes" I rubbed my eyes before slamming my face into the pillow and drifting back to sleep.Shortly, I woke up and let out a yawn as I stretched my arms and grabbed my phone I looked at the time"Ohh no, I’m late for work, Nadia is gonna kill me," I said as I quickly rushed into the bathroom.As soon as I left the bathroom, my work shirt along with black straight skirt, a white silk scarf which I used to cover my hair, and black flat shoes. I applied lipgloss and looked at my reflection through the mirror, a smile found its way."I’m already late" I whispered before I grabbed my bag and exited the room I microwaved the food Rayan packed for Khalil last night as I knew I didn’t have much time to cook, I arranged Ja
I arrived home early today, I met Rayan at the grocery store and he decided to drop me off. I wasn’t willing to go with him but I knew I have no choice as the weather was starting to change and finding a ride would be hard for me.Once I placed my hand on the door handle I heard a car pull over, I turned around and saw Noor coming out of the car which wasn’t surprising for me because different cars drop her off almost every day. I was about to open the door when a man came out, he looked a bit familiar but I couldn’t remember when I saw him. I watched them as they kept talking."Isn’t this the guy that walked into the bakery store a few days ago" I muttered As they began to walk towards the door I quickly stepped into the house not wanting to have any conversation with them.As I entered the house, I saw Jamil and Hannah seated on the couch eating popcorn while watching a cartoon, they glanced at me as they turned back and faced the television.I was about to walk towards my room dir
THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW "Yes, I want everything to be at my doorstep before 9 am." He said as he took a sip of coffee "I don’t care, you heard what I said." He growled out before he hung up the callAs he hung up the call he walked to his bed and lay on it before he heard a soft knock on the door, before he could say anything the door opened."We need to leave now." "Now? It’s past eleven, can’t we wait till tomorrow?""Now means now Rayan and please be quiet I don’t want us disturbing anyone’s sleep." "Okay Abu." He said as he grabbed his jacket and left the room.Once they finish the job and arrived home, he entered his room and changed into comfortable clothes. He let out a deep sigh and fell onto the bed. "I can’t believe I have to do this" He muttered before he fell asleep.The sunrise as its shades its sunlight through the window directly on his face. He groaned as he stretch his arms, a loud yawn escapes his mouth. He quickly walked to the bathroom to take a shower. Soon
