Chapter 3 - Teasing

Haya's pov

"Why do you need to go to new York."

"How many times do I need to tell you haya, it’s my friends wedding and I have to go he's my childhood buddy, you know right." Ayaan answered really pissed because I was asking him the same question for the past two days.

"That doesn't mean you should be going for two weeks." I argued back hoping that he would stay back.

He groaned in response and replied "Why not."

"Why not, like seriously are you the groom or what.” I stated arching my eyebrows.

"For your kind information, she’s not beautiful enough to tempt me."my brother stated with a smirk thinking that he's the most handsome guy on earth

I literally rolled my eyes.

"It's just I would feel lonely without you.” I pleaded trying to make him understand my perspective.

"Haya, I’m your brother not your boyfriend" my brother said laughing. 

"You know what, your not handsome enough to tempt me."I stated with gritted teeth.

"Oh my gosh, my baby sister is really angry huh. Look at your nose it's turning pink. “He remarked while laughing continuously.

"Just stop it MR. AYAAN AHMED. "I glared at him.

Whenever I get angry I call them with their full name trying hard to calm down myself. My brother stopped laughing and sat beside me in bed.

"Soooooo sorry sissy didn't meant to hurt you, will you forgive your one and only handsome brother. “he pleaded pouting, I couldn't resist the laugh and burst out laughing.

"Fine, promise me you will be back in two weeks.” I asked him in an authoritative tone like I'm speaking to an employee of mine.

My brother abruptly got up and replied " yes ma'am I promise I'll be back in two weeks, now can I pack my luggage."

"Of course you may.” I answered in the same formal tone.

My brother went back to his closet, taking out his clothes and putting in the luggage.

"Umm..... when are you planning to get married, you’re already twenty seven and most of your friends are married.” I stated.

"I don't know still finding the right girl.” He replied smiling as if he has already found the girl.

"If you don't mind I have a suggestion for you. I mean I know a girl she's so beautiful, innocent and the same age as mine ."I told him looking at his direction.

"Who?” he asked busy packing his luggage.

"Umm.... my bestie Maryam you know she has a crush on you so how about her, I think that she would be a perfect match."

My brother's eyes quickly met mine in a questioning look.

"Like seriously she has a crush on me, I didn't know that your friends would flirt. Oh God what can I do if I'm born handsome.” my brother acted as if he was on cloud nine.

"Very funny.” I sighed frustrated.

"Whatever, she’s too not beautiful enough to tempt me."He repeated the same dialogue again.

"Can you please stop with your movie dialogues and stop acting like a drama queen.” I yelled really pissed.

In response He just rolled his eyes and went back packing his luggage. I didn't want to leave the topic flowing so I continued.

"Have you even seen her in the first place. Have you?” I questioned knowing that my brother would say a no but I was shocked by his reply. 

"Of course, the one with the spectacles right.” I didn't dare to ask him how he knows her.

"Umm... basically, well, actually you know I have three friends who wear spectacles, how are you so sure that the girl your pointing out is Maryam." I stated acting confused in order to get answers from him.

"She's the one who is a teacher, the girl who always go classes with you and your childhood friend.” He explained.

I couldn't even find a single word and I was really surprised.

"This shows that my friend wasn't flirting with you, you are the one who was flirting with her all these while huh." I asked glaring at him.

The smile on his face only widened and I knew the answer that he too had a crush on her.

"Look, your stupid hyperactive bestie is not the girl I'm searching as my life partner, it’s uh.. someone else.” He told acting seriously but failed miserably.

"Whatever, the person who is going to marry that innocent girl is the most luckiest guy alive.” I said acting as if praying but I did notice my brother's demeanour changing.

"You can at least say Ameen you know." I played along in order to make him angry. 

In response he only muttered something to himself and for the rest of the packing session he didn't even utter a single word and I didn't want to disturb him because he had to go to the airport in two hours.

If two hearts are meant together, no matter how long it takes, how far they go, how long it seems, love will bring them together to share their love forever but the most painful thing ever is having feeling for someone you can't be with, there’s that one person in my life I'll never get over no matter how long it's been.

I closed my eyes thinking about my crush or my ex-fiancé Akmal and groaned in response, I need to stop thinking about you because I know you're not thinking about me.

Before I could let those tears down, I walked into the washroom with the help of my crutch, stood in front of the mirror and shed those silent tears which would never end in my life.
