  I went into the kitchen to get some breakfast. It's Monday I have to be at work which is 20 minutes drive from here

    "Asalamu Alaykum Hayat, good morning, what's for the breakfast" I kissed her on the cheeks.

  "Wailuku salaam honey don't you think you are being late it's 8:00 already " she reminded me. While making some cheese sandwich which is for me, I assume. I got an apple from the fruit basket and settled on the kitchen counter.

    "Don't worry I told summit I will come late today. that I will come by 9:45 " I assured her. she is just like my mother always worried about us.  I finished my breakfast and thanked Hayat for it. Usually, I drop Noori to school but her summer break has started so I will go alone. Zee is also free as her college hasn't started yet. Only I have loads of work. Yay me!

"Bye Hayat "

" Bye Anam, take care"

I started music the minute I got in the car. I don't like silence at all. My phone started ringing and it was summit calling l plucked my Bluetooth in and answered the call.

"Hi summit, good morning"

" We don't have time for the good morning rush to office fast meeting is in 40 minutes "Sumit shouted and nearly broke my eardrums.

      " WWHHHAAAATTTT, how? I mean it was at 2:00" I exclaimed; I clearly remember the meeting was going to be held at 2 at the noon. What the hell is going on

  " I know but boss changed the time, don't worry I have prepared everything just come fast," he said reassuring me.

  "Thank you. you are great I am coming in two minutes" I ended the call. Sumit is my male bestie. I met in the second year of my degree. We had the same list of favorite games and we became best friends. He is my support system too other than Hayat. He helped me a lot after last year's events.

  I told the watchman to park the car and started towards the office.

    As I opened the door, I didn't see there was water spilled all over the floor I slipped on the water. I closed my eyes and waited for the pain but it didn't come.    I slowly opened my eyes and saw two beautiful grey eyes staring at me with concern. I never saw such beautiful eyes in my life. I was back to reality as I felt two strong arms wrapped around me to prevent me from falling.

      I didn't know how long I stared at him. I tried but was not able to avert my eyes from him. His face, the sharp jawline. High cheekbone. His lips curved in a small smile but the thing that kept me trapped was his eyes, there were no words to describe them

  Stop the checkout Anam you are staring at him.

  "Anam are you okay, come on we will be late" Sumit barged out of the elevator. That snapped me out of the daydreaming. We both stood up straight. I turned to Sumit and awkwardly waved at him.

    " I am fine. someone spilled water on the floor and I didn't notice "

    "let's go we are late "Sumit started dragging me inside " Thanks Ayan for saving my friend's butt there" he yelled at the stranger.

Ayan's POV

      I got a call from an AMT software company. They have a vacancy in the designing department. I got excited hearing this started getting ready. I reached the place exactly at 9:30. There were not many people in the building, I waited at the reception so that I get hold of some to enquire about my interview and stuff. I saw a guy standing at the end of the hallway.

  "Excuse me, can you help me? I came here for the interview" I tapped his shoulder and asked.

"OH, are you, Mr. Ayan Kazi," he asked and. I nodded in confirmation.

"I am really sorry your interview has been postponed to tomorrow; don't worry you are already selected interview is just for formality" he shrugged " you have to come tomorrow "

"Okay no problem, I didn't get your name," I asked him.

"It's Sumit Dev nice meeting you "

"Nice meeting you too " I waved him goodbye and Started towards the entrance as I was going to opening the door someone already opened it. It happened so fast, suddenly the girl was falling; I acted quickly and slipped my arms under to stop her from falling.

She had her eyes shut. Her face was like an angel who every guy dream of having. Her lips were pulled in a thin line. they were pink, small, and delicate like a baby. She slowly opened her hazel honey eyes which had a different spark in them.

I was so busy staring at her that I didn't realize Sumit was there and was talking to the mystery girl.

"Let it be Anam we are late," he said facing her and turned toward me and said "thank you, Mr. Ayan, for saving my friend's butt"

    So, her name is Anam. I waved at Sumit and went home.

The day went by quite fast. it was evening by the time I finished all my work. switching off my laptop I gave a loud sigh and slumped deeper in my seat. Last month my boss that is the head of the designing department gave me a promotion and now I am his assistant. Don't get me wrong I love my job and I am grateful that I got this position but it gets really tiring at times. "Are you coming out for dinner with me? "Sumit said shaking my shoulder, I didn't even saw him when he came inside? "Sorry bro but I am not in the mood " I am very tired. I just want to go home and hug my bed. "and you will be going with your girlfriend, I don't want to be the third wheel " "As your wish and remember tomorr

    "So are we going in my car or walking? " I asked Ayan as we reached our office parking. "We are not going to walk" he said searching for something in his pocket. "Do you have any flying carpet like Aladdin or Doraemon's helicopter in your pocket " I raised an eyebrow at him. "you watch cartoons a lot " he smirked .a cute smirk.He told me to wait and disappeared in the parking area, I impatiently tapped my feet waiting for him. He came riding a gorgeous bike. My mouth was hanging wide open. I love bikes especially black ones. he had a smug look like he knew this was going to be my reaction. "Are you going to close your mouth or I should do it for you" I closed my mouth sheepishly and started shaking him. " OMG, you have a bike.

    Anam's POVI was sitting on my usual spot on my balcony admiring the Stars. I like to be here alone. Sometimes being alone is good, when you just hear your thoughts without anyone interrupting. Alone was never a feeling I had to deal with. But after last year, I do feel alone and I have learned to enjoy these moments. I was too dependent on him even for the tiniest of things. I know I can lean on my sisters but they too have their own life. I don't want to burden anyone with my problems."Are you thinking about him Anam" I turned around, Noori was just standing behind me, arms crossed. She came and sat next to me. She knows that whenever I want to be alone with my thoughts I usually sit here. It is my hideout."No, I was thinking about something else " I lied. Even my non-existing cat can say that I was thinking about him."Don't lie to me Anam, I know you miss him and still care," she said squeezing my hand. I placed my head on her shou

We all were having breakfast."Noori shut up, she is not well" Hayat sat beside me. She gave me the meds and started rubbing my back. I leaned on her shoulder. My headache felt like someone was hammering 50 nails in my head."Anam can you drop me at Janvi's place we want to buy books," Noori asked me."No, she is not going anywhere. you hear me Anam?

    Ayan's. POV I like her. I am trying to persuade my mind that I don't but I know that it is not true. The fact of the day is I like Anam khan. Since yesterday the same thing is going on in my head. My mother has been going on and on about Anam and her other students. I didn't complain because I was knowing more things about the old days when I was not there and more about Anam. I lived in Mumbai for almost all my life I never liked it here in Pune and that's why I lived in Mumbai, I moved there after middle school and got my degree there. When mum told me to get back to Pune after my sister got married, I thought my life is going to get boring. I never told mom but I was not planning on coming back to Pune ever. I decided I should tell her. but my older sister visited me in Mumbai before her wedding and told me that it was time that I take my responsibilities seriously and I agreed with my mom to come back. &nbs

    I have been racking my brain to think of something that will change Hayat's decision or at least stop them from being mad at each other. She already underwent a lot and that's enough I don't want more sufferings for her. I don't want her to think she has to choose between us and her fiancé. "Anam hold this. It's too hot "Noori called from behind. I turned to her and she handed me a steamy cup of which I assume tasty chocolate. I was at my usual spot on the balcony, my thinking place. Noori came and sat beside me crossed legs on the floor. "Anam what's wrong " its nothing "then why were you crying? is everything okay " I didn't notice the tears on my cheeks until she reached and wiped it. "it's nothing Noori" I starred at my mug of hot chocolate to avoid her questioning gaze. I can't tell her even if I want to, Hayat will kill me if I did and I dont her worry abou

    "Slow down Anam you are going too fast " Ayan shrieked in my ear. According to him, I was going very fast but I to ignored him as I was enjoining this a lot and there is no police to catch me. I speeded a little more just to annoy him. "Don't be scared Ayan just hold me and don't fall, " I said smugly. Damn my big mouth. He wrapped his arms around my waist. Well, I didn't believe in butterflies but now I do. My cheeks started to heat, I pushed all the mushy thoughts back and focused on driving. His breath fanned on my neck. After minutes of ignoring Ayan's complaints and the damned butterflies, I parked the bike in front of the café. I looked around for Hayat but her car was nowhere to be seen. I stood leaning back on the bike and Ayan was in front of me glaring, "That's it. I am not going to allow you to drive my bike again "Ayan scowled. "Are you going do this to me Ayan "I made a puppy face." you know I love to drive right" He r

    Ammar wants a chance to explain but is he sorry for what he did? I can't just trust him again. I admit that I wanted to know the reason for what he did but I can't risk it. Should I give him a chance to explain? Should I let him in again? How would palak paneer taste like?? Ok, the last one was off-topic. But these questions have been swirling in my mind forever. "Is it your habit to zone out every often "Ayan commented looking back at me? I didn't even realize that we are already in front of his house and he was walking ahead of me. This time I did not ask to ride the bike and was quiet the whole time Ayan eyed me worrying. I just shrugged and speeded to catch with him. Ayan's place was 20 minutes ride from home. It is a three-story modern house with a lawn in front. " Should I call a doctor " I gave him a confused look "you haven't made any sarcastic comment in the last 20 minutes," he said like it is our issue which that be handled immediately.
