The light sky faded and turned in the darkness until we reach home.
While I was looking for the keys in my purse standing in front of the door of my apartment, and Kiara was still playing the game on the tab, I heard some extra violent noises of a couple of fights.
I and Kiara looked at the way. I heard Anna opening the door and said,
"Ahh they started again"
I looked at her. I saw Sofia coming out rubbing her eyes.
"Is that Bella's voice?" She asked.
Suddenly the door of Bella's house snapped open and she was thrown out of the house by her husband. I gasped. Anna yelled.
"When your exams are going to start?" I asked Kiara.She has been ignoring me since I pinned the topic of exams. She has a habit of avoiding this topic, every damn time. I don't want her to become like those idiotic bimbos in the future who show off extra in school, who are good for nothing but gold diggers. I want her to have a good education, a degree probably in medical or law, or just achieve something in life when I couldn't.I looked at her zoned out to something else. "Kia, I am talking to you!" I said a little loudly."What Ali?" She asked me. Her tone sounded like she wasn't interested in the topic."Your exams?" I raised my eyebrows at her.She s
Alizeh's POV- While doing the work, a sudden knock on my desk grabbed my attention. I looked up and saw Alexander standing in front of me. "Hi, have you ever felt hungry? Because I am," he murmured, smiling at me. "I just," I looked at my watch and gasped checking the time. It's already past lunch break, still, some time was left to end the break. I looked around. Most of the people were gone. "Oh shit. I lost track of time" I face-palmed myself. "I was waiting for you but never mind" He came over, swirled a chair from someone else's cubicle, and placed it beside my chair
I sighed thinking about Mrs O'Neil.I guess I am thinking too much. Anyways it's on next week.Focus on this week first. You have to complete work on time.I roamed my eyes casually and saw Alexader. We caught each other's eyes and he smiled instantly.Next week is still far. But the weekend will be in 5 days._"What you have to think about him? Do you want to go out with him?" Anna asked.
After getting thumbs up from Kia, to meet her father, I called Alexander on phone.'Hello,' He sounded groggy.'Hi, were you sleeping? Sorry to disturb you' I said.He took a moment before replying,' Alizeh, hey, is everything alright?''Yeah, I was just thinking about our conversation before and I feel we should meet'I heard him rumbling through something.'Are you there?''Yes yes, we should. Alizeh, you made me so happy. Thank you for giving me another chance' He blurted.'When and where?' I asked holding my nervous horses.'I will text you'OkayI cut the call.Soon after a while, I received his text and a hurricane possessed over me. I didn't expect he would ask me out tonight.I was hurriedly picking up the pile of clothes waking Kiara. "We are going somewhere, get up."
On a date with Alexander, bring me unexpected reactions to him. The way he is looking at Kiara, I saw a glint of tears flashing in his eyes. "Umm Alex, I hope I'm not upsetting you, and if I am then I am so..." "No, not at all. Why you are sorry? I'm absolutely happy. I like the way you both are with each other. I feel like I have been missing being part of this." I could see how overwhelmed he looked. "Between you are looking astonishing." With his compliment, I felt my cheeks warming up. I glanced at Kiara who looked busy understanding the menu. "Thank you," I grazed my hair strands behind my ears. The dinner went well.
Now there are two people on the earth who are extremely happy getting what we want.I snuggled with Panda teddy in my hand while Kiara couldn't get over her Winnie The Pooh.The rest of the evening we enjoyed the Carnival Night Show.Kiara looked amused. I enjoyed it thoroughly too. My usual weekends haven been gone pretty much-doing nothing. Sitting at home, either sleeping or overthinking about my life with Kiara. But now, I love how the Saturday went sparkling yet loving when it spends with Alexander and I was looking forward to the next weekend as well._
I let out a dreamy breath looking around after coming out of the airport. Stepping in Malaysia, the metropolitan town Kuala Lumper, the most famous business hub in Southeast Asia, awestrucked me. The more my eyes wander everywhere, I could get a sight of its ethnicity, it's culture, the business among people, yet the free-spirited hint in the air. I felt bewildered witnessing at the culture here. "Alizeh!" I flinched a little hearing of my boss's voice. I glanced at Mr. O'Neil. "This way," He gestured at his car. I realized standing alone and staring at the city view. I ran to match his steps while looking around in a hope to catch Alexander there. I glanced behind and found Alexander stand
Waterpark - I never felt this excited before especially to go out with Alexander again. Like last time in the carnival, this time also it's gonna be fun. Because he isn't just an acquaintance or ex-boyfriend for me, but now I can say we were looking more of each other. I wore a casual purple tee and ripped jeans. I packed some essentials in my backpack. My mobile, sanitizer, towel in case. And what should I take? Not taking many heavy things. I checked my luggage and shuffled some clothes to see what I have packed. My eyes caught the pair of bikini. Anna will never fail to amuse me. Even though I
Alizeh’s POV Nervousness, sheer excitement, heartbeats pacing up and down, and your mind feeling wishful for the future, all these emotions are like a piece of jewelry for a soon-to-be bride. Yes, I am finally going to be a bride. Today, while looking at myself in the mirror all dolled up as a bride I can't believe my destiny has finally led me till here. All the way I have cursed my destiny for not being with me but now finally the love knocked on the door of my heart. I am getting ready for my love, Layla. Since the day she proposed to me, we have never looked back. Every day with her passed like a new day in my life. She always left me surprised. We thanked God for breaking my sandals that day and Layla forgetting the address, so we could come across the reason for helping each other but never thought we would be bound by hearts. After staying in
Alizeh's POV The next day arrived with some chaotic unwanted trips. My mother forcefully took me for dinner at Issac's home, leaving Kiara behind with Anna. My mind was still eating up with previous incidents. He welcomed us to his small house, located nearby the beautiful lake. His mother came out just to see me. Then both parties greeted each other. My mother appeared ecstatic. "What happened?" I asked him. "I will check her. You both become comfortable" he said and went behind his mother. I sighed thinking about how to be comfortable when his mother has already shown her disagreement. I looked at Kiara who was in her world, looking around the house. It has less furniture and looks quite spacious. After a while, Issac came out with his mother. We sat at the dining table, in s
Alizeh's POV I closed my eyes, fighting not to cry. When Alexander finally left, suddenly I felt scared for unknown waves coming at me. But this was it. This time I understood what I don't want, which is I can't settle for less even if it comes with more. I covered my face with palms and let the tears flow down. "Ali" Kiara's soft voice fell on my ears. I immediately wiped my teary eyes and looked at her. "Yeah" I tried to keep my voice clear. "I'm sorry," she said. "It's okay" I said and she smiled showing her crooked teeth. And just like that, we were back again. "Are you really going to marry Layla?"
Alizeh's POV Acoupleofdays have passed in a week, but there are still three daysleftfor Layla'sreturn.I haven't got a chance to talk to him as she is busy. Everything from everyone's life has come back to normal. Olive has returned to her apartment with Kevin and their baby. They also held a baby shower and naming ceremony which we all attended. The baby boy's name was finalized on Omar. Anna was back on her normal routine but this time she has changed her perception towards dating and men. Thank God. Bella has returned here again but her husband has gone out of town. Sofia hasn't changed her life much. She looked pretty busy with her two kids. Recently her late husband's brother visited her and since then she seemed to be a little
Alizeh's POV Layla pulled over her car near my apartment. We got out of it together. I shook Kiara to wake up but she was unbothered. It's nearly 4 am. I picked her up in my arms. My God, she is turning heavier. I walked ahead while I could feel Layla's continuous stare at me. I couldn't walk ahead because of how she held my eyes. She shook his head, smiling a little. "Thank you, for being there with all of us," I felt relieved. "Mention not. Besides, I love to be around you" she pinched my cheeks. I smiled so much, feeling my warmth rushing up to my cheeks. "I wish I could tell you something tonight but it's not possible." Her words churned my heart. I somehow knew she was hinting to tell me something, which I already knew but still I did not come to the conclusion. "Never mi
Alizeh's POV "Alizeh, please help. It's painting a lot" Olive cried holding her heavy belly. I gasped looking at her state. She screamed in between too which clenched my heart. "Wait, let me call an ambulance," I gasped and ran inside. I heard Olive screaming in pain again. "What happened?" Layla panicked. Macmillan looked at Olive. A scream let out from her mouth when she saw him "Macmillan! Oh my god!" Uh-oh girl this isn't a time for fangirling. I was searching for the ambulance number in the directory. "I don't know, she is in pain. I need to call an ambulance" I said and glanced at her. She was holding Olive by hand. "Ali, I think she is having contractions." She said "What? What's that?"&n
Alizeh's POV "And then it was the lowest grade she has ever got" I talked about Kiara's teacher, Issac Gray to Layla. She intently listened to me. "It's fine Ali. She will get back on track again. I trust Kiara. She seems intelligent" She said, sipping her coffee. "But not in mathematics, I don't know what else I can do for her. I think I should find a good tutor for her" I put up my idea at the same time I wanted to bang my head on something. Come on, she is a daughter of a woman who works in the finance department who can't poop in the subjects like mathematics! Layla looked at me." How about I tutor her?" My breathing hitched. "You? Are you s-sure?" "I have done this before, besides mathematics is my favorite subject. I will teach her if you want and for that
When I opened my eyes, it all felt like a nightmare. Kiara was sitting in front of me. I got up and leaped into a hug, pulling her closer to my chest. Never before have I felt like this. Losing her is the worst possible thing life can give me. My eyes fell on Anna, Sofia, and Edward. Edward came ahead and sat beside me. "Are you okay hun?" Anna gave me a glass of water. I drank it hurriedly. "I'm okay guys. Sorry to disturb you all" I murmured looking down. "Now you have disturbed, tell us what has happened?" Anna sat beside me with a questioning face. I shook my head sideways. I couldn't even dare to utter those words as they ached my heart. Anna let out a sigh. Edward patted my head gently. "Let her get some rest. We will talk about it when she will want" I thanked Edward. After everybody left
Alizeh's POV The other day, while doing the work my phone rang. When I checked the phone, it was MacMillan. I received it one go. "Bambolina, SOS, come down fast I am waiting," he sounded in hurry and without letting me ask anything about what and why he cut the call. I grabbed my purse hastily cursing him and walked towards the elevator. After coming out of the elevator, I walked out of the building and saw Macmillan's car. He peeped his head out of the car and waved his hand at me. I walked at him, meanwhile, he got down from the car and opened the door for me. "What happened?" I asked while getting in. "A major problem has occurred," He sounded concerned and serious while running back to his car and getting in. "Okay, but what is it exactly?" I put my seatbelt on while he adjusted once glanced at him
