Halim's POV

Beep..Beep..Beep..

I wish you could be mine..I look at the screen displaying his name. Suddenly his name disappears.

"Missed Call from Ghazian"

My phone displays. Whoops shit, I forgot to slide the icon.

Beep..Beep..Beep..

I slide the icon to the right side now.

"Where were you?!" worried Ghazian says.

"How're you Ghazi?" I say.

"Not fine. Mashal interrupted us earlier today. Halim, why can't you just tell me his name?" He says.

"Because there's no point of this Ghazi. He is getting married within some months!" I say.

"What? Did you ever talk to him? Where does he live? I..I'll talk to him Halim.." He says.

"It's useless. I don't want him to know that I love him..." I say.

"Halim?" a familiar voice says.

I look at the door. "Mama..." I say. "I'll talk to you later Ghazi bye.." and I hang up.

"Whom do you love? And why don't you want him to know?" She says as she sits by my side.

"I don't know mama...I just love him so much. But he loves someone else mama. I would always think that he too loves me but mama he didn't.." I say.

"My baby girl, tell me his name" She says.

"Ghazian..." I say.

"What...He has a girlfriend. And they're getting engaged within some weeks. Halim..." She says.

"I can't help but love him. I know he thinks of me as his younger sister. But mama....this idiot heart won't understand...." I say.

"Shh...stop crying my baby..." She says as she gives me a hug. She kisses my forehead and squeezes my hand.

"Come on. Get up. Let's go outside in the lawn. Look at the weather outside my baby. We'll bake patties, and have fun. Your parents love you so much baby.." She says forcing me to get outta my bed.

We walk downstairs towards patio.

"Up for baking?" She says.

"No..." I say.

"Ask the chef to bake patties, black forest cake and some bites" She says to the maid standing nearby.

"But this is too much mama. I don't feel hungry at all" I say.

"Ask Ghazian to come over, invite Mashal as well" She says.

"No. Mama I want to spend my time alone please.." I say.

"Ok. Then ask him to just bake patties. Go!" She says.

"Where's papa?" I say.

"He had a meeting. Your Dad got the new project. It's quite expensive. Companies out there were wishing to get that project, but the District Organiser selected your Dad. His company got a new whole level of fame now. Alhamdulilah. (Praise be to Allah)" She says.

"That's all because of his hard work mama. And Alhamdulilah (Praise be to Allah) for all the blessings" I say.

"Halim I just planned to distribute some dresses, and sweets in the poor people and neighbours. What do you say?" She says.

"It would be a great idea Mama.." I say.

"Ok then, after Tea we'll go for shopping" She says.

"Mama...are you stressed?" I say.

"Not stressed but I just got a little hurt. Why didn't you share this secret of you with me earlier?" She says.

"Mama I tried so hard to get him off my mind. But with each passing day it got severe. And now...I just can't explain it" I say.

"Who else knows this?" She says.

"Affan..." I say.

"It's ok Halim. It happens sometimes. I called Affan yesterday but he didn't pick up the phone. When was the last time you talked to him?" She says.

"5 minutes before Ghazian's call" I say.

"When is he coning to Pakistan?" She says.

"I guess next week. Because Faria had an appointment with her doctor" I say.

"Doctor? What happened?" She says.

"I don't know.." I say as I smile.

"Stop you silly girl. Does she have appointment with gynaecologist?" She says in excitement.

"Yep. And I really hope that the doctor tells the same thing" I say.

"I can't wait to become a grandmother!" She says and I chuckle.

Beep..Beep..Beep..

"We were just talking about you right now. How're you?" She says. I guess it's Faria.

"What?! OMG! Ma Sha Allah (Allah has willed). I can't wait to see you. And where's my idiot son? And look I have to inform your mother about this. OMG! I'm so excited!" She says.

Awwlay. It's amazing to see my mother this happy.

I snatch mobile from her.

"Are you serious?! When are you guys coming??" I say.

"Yes. I am serious. And we'll be there in Pakistan after 2 weeks" She says.

"Aww. I'm impatiently waiting for you!" I say.

"Liar!" Affan yells.

"What the hell is wrong with you. Give mobile back to her" I say.

"No. Give mobile back to mama" He says.

"Ughh. I hate you. By the way congratulations loser" I say and chuckle.

"Wow. Thank you" He says being as sarcastic as he could.

I give mobile back to mama.

"Your loser's on phone mama" I say and put the phone on speaker.

"I hate you. You idiot little girl. I'll see you when I'll see you!" He says and I laugh.

"Why do you both keep fighting like kids?" Mum says telling us off.

"It's all because of him" I say trying to sound as innocent as possible.

"Go and fetch a glass of water for me" She says and I do so.
