What !!!! he was standing there while I was singing. I was singing so badly that if a heart patient hears it he could definitely die. I sing so worst according to Noori.
I am going to die of embarrassment. Can someone save me?
Ok Anam you are overreacting now
I think my conscience is right maybe I am overreacting.
" Ok, Mr. Ayan let's start with the interview " I started reading his file. He stopped smirking and came towards the desk sat on the chair in front of me.
I started with my questions. He was answering all very well I don't have much experience in taking interviews but still, I can say he is very smart.
"Well Mr. Ayan you can join from tomorrow Suhana will explain everything to you " I saw the time it was only 10 minutes for lunch and I am hungry.
"And don't be late, "I said he stood up and started to walk out.

Noori's POV"Noori I am home " Zyana called from the living room. Finally, she is back and I am no more alone in the house. I walked into the living room and sat beside Zyana. Her eyes were closed she was leaning her back on the couch. I think she is tired." How was it, did you get selected " she didn't reply, she is asleep or just more tired.I went inside the kitchen and started making sandwiches for her with some coffee. Once I finished preparing food for her I went to wake up Zyana. I got back to wake her up. I shook her shoulders."Hey, get up " she opened her eyes yawning. I placed the food tray on the table and sat beside her. She sat up straight and I handed her the plate." Oh, I fell asleep here, I was really hungry thanks for the food " she started eating."So how did it go, did you get the job " she tried to answer but her mouth was full of food "but why are so interested in doing a job so early you still have a mo
"AANNNAAAMMMM" someone shouted in my ear and I am a hundred percent sure that the devil is Noori the great. Last night I was really tired. Maira and I went out to some South Indian restaurant, I texted Hayat before I went. We had lots of fun and did a little shopping too.Noori again shouted in my ear again to wake me up. I finally give away the idea of sleeping and woke up. Turning towards her I glared at her for disturbing my sleep at 6 in the morning. I think she has made it her new hobby to ruin my sleep." Why hell did you disturbed me, Noori. what happened ?""Actually Anam I just wanted to tell you that my break is over ""What? you woke me just to tell me your break is over, are you insane? whatever now go away and let me sleep " I pushed her down the bed and pulled the blanket over me."Noori check your purse and don't you dare disturb me again " she gave me a confused look and opened her bag to check and the next secondI was crushed
"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. I love bikes can I ride? please please please pretty please" I gave him my best puppy face. He shook his h
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
Anam's POVFarhan Bhai left this morning before I woke up he had some meetings to attend in Mumbai. He just came to meet us. Yesterday we played all types of indoor games and had fun. Hayat and he prepared Dum biryani for us.I groaned loudly putting my head in my hands. The headache was getting worse but I can't skip work. I groaned again. I stayed up all night yesterday and watched Netflix series and random shows to pass the time as I was not able to sleep."Stop with that noise, it's irritating" Noori frowned at me. 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? " Hayat said with a serious look. I wanted to agre
Ayan's POV Anam wanted to protest when I picked her up but she fainted and that scared the shit out of me. Thoughts started running through my mind that something might happen to her. Something has changed inside me since the day I met her. I am always waiting to talk to her and be with her. Her presence has become my favorite. It disturbs me when she is in a bad mood or even slightly upset. Her smiles make my day. I don't know when I started feeling like this and when I became so romantic. This is all new to me but I love this feeling. It has been only a few weeks in Pune and I regret not coming here earlier."Hey Ayan, what are you doing here " Sumit's voice came from behind I turned anam still in my arm. He was walking with hands full of food bags. i pointed to Anam with my eyes and his attention fell to his best friend. "OMG, what happened to her, I told her to go home and rest, this girl never listens to me. What if she gets the viral " Sumit ramb
Anam's POVCan someone give me a tape I want to stick it to Hayat's mouth. I know she loves me and all but come on can't she just take a rest. We are all sitting at the dining table but I am not eating I am getting scolded by Hayat for being stubborn. Just one more minute and ears are going to bleed. She has been rambling continuously for the last hour and she grounded me. Do you believe it, me a 22-year-old has been grounded?"Anam are you even listening to me " Hayat glared at me, I smiled at her innocently."Of course, Hayat I am all attentive, please go on with your scolding. I am here all night" I think she noticed the sarcasm in my words."You are unbelievable! fine I won't say anything " she crossed her arms angrily and glared harder. I so wanted to burst out laughing but I don't want to anger her more. She looks like a mama hen."With all due respect Hayat, you have repeated that sentence thrice now. I expected better from you" Noori
I entered my cabin I am an hour early which is really rare. I just stood at the window busy in my thoughts, my memories. All the memories rotating in my head. Tears pooled in my eyes. I hated that he still has the effect that makes me cry. How could he just show up after hurting me so much? I hope that one day I would be able to tell everything to Hayat.I should call Hayat to apologize for storming out of the house without informing. I searched my pockets for my phone but it was not there, after checking everywhere I concluded that I left my phone at home.summit barged in and crushed me in a hug. "Anam, I was so worried," summit said releasing me from his hug."Morning summit""What happened Anam, you sound dull""Nothing, I am fine "Sumit sat down. I know he did not believe me but thankfully he did not force me for the truth. He was looking at me worried. I felt warm inside, summit always cares for me. I opened my mouth to assure summit
The doorbell rang, I got up cleaned the mess around me, and went to take the door. I opened the door to come face to face with the least expected person. " Farhan Bhai, what are you doing here " " I just missed everyone " I got a bear hug from him. I hugged him back. But this is a surprise, I didn't know he was coming. We walked inside and he went to fresh up. I made him some tea and got some snacks. When he came back we settled on the couch. He silently sipped his tea his eyes staring down. I sighed and placed a hand on his shoulder. " What happens Bhai, what is wrong" " You know Anam what is wrong " " Did you talk with Hayat, try to convince her" "How can I convince her when she has blocked me out for a week" " A week are you serious, I know you guys fight a lot but it never lasts for more than two hours" " That's why I am so worried Anam " he sighed running a
" Ayan are you okay "I waved my hand in front of his face to get his attention. For the last five minutes, Ayan just stared at me without blinking after I finished telling him my story. "Sorry for zoning out like that "" you know, I never told anyone all this. "" I am not avoiding Ammar because that he didn't date me but I am angry that he did to our friendship, he betrayed me for just a petty bet"" You value friendship a lot ""Yes I do, that's why I am going to give him a chance to explain himself "Ayan just nodded. We kept walking and soon we reached his bike. I waved him off and went home._________________________________________________________________________Ayan's POV I am an idiot. Anam told something she never told anyone and I just kept quiet and stared at her, I should have said something.Once I got my hand on Ammar I am going to break every bone in his body. How could he do
After dinner, everybody started leaving. Summit gave a ride to Mahira. She wanted to stay but had to leave because of work. Janvi went with her brother, he came to pick her., Hayat and Ammar were busy clearing the kitchen. Ayan said his greetings to everyone and started towards the door. I followed him out."Where are you going "he raised an eyebrow."Just going for a walk in the neighbourhood"I informed Hayat, took my scarf and phone, and went out of the door. I knew Ayan want to ask me something but he keeps quiet. We came down to the parking and I started towards the main gate. I needed some fresh air to clear my thoughts and it is my favourite time to take a walk. I am so lost in my thoughts that I did not notice Ayan was w/walking beside me. I stared at him. why was he coming with me? "Did you park your bike somewhere else?" I asked him. To which he just shrugged. "The
Anam's POV "Anam is there any special reason you called me at 10 am " Ayan reply sleeping " why could you be so cruel to ruin my sleep " "Hey, you can't complain I am the one who should complain here. my precious sleep got disturbed because of you" "Dear Miss Khan could you be a nice person and tell me the reason so that I can continue my sleep," he says in a gentlemanly tone. how can someone sound so good even half-sleeping? "Hayat had told me to invite you. We are having a small get together so be here in the afternoon " He muttered a small thanks and end the call. I think someone is too eager to be back to sleep but so well I am. Pulling the duvet over my head I drift to sleep. Hayat has this tradition of inviting everyone on the last Saturday of every month. She told me last night to invite Ayan but I forgot. __________________________________________ It was noisy like a market wi
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.
It was Sunday my most favourite day because for many reasons first there will be no summit to annoy me. I know he is my best friend but that doesn't change the fact that he is an idiot. Second that I can roll in my bed the whole day and add this comfort Hayat makes something special to eat. "Anam come out " Noori called from the living room. I got out of my bed and dragged my ass to the living room and sprawled beside Noori she was reading a book which is a very rare site because according to her reading makes you insane. She swatted a little to give me more space. "What were you reading that too in the morning " "Anam it is 11 in the afternoon " "It is Sunday. so it is still morning for me " I got up and placed my head on her lap getting more comfortable. She started playing with my hair making me more sleepy. "Where is Hayat " I mumbled. "Not everyone is like you sleeping beauty, she went out to meet her client "
