Chapter 9- Best Friend Calls
Amyrah
I stood in the darkness of my house.
I knew going to that party was a bad idea but no, I had to go
Dimwit!
I sighed and walked upstairs to my bedroom
Taking my sweats and Harry potter tees, I showered quickly and changed before tying my hair in a bun
I ran to my bed and jumped on my bed before staring at the ceiling and rethinking my day
Who knew my happy go exhausting day would end up like this?
The more I thought about his confession and my reaction, the more I feel guilty
It's like I overreacted but you can't blame a girl for trying to protect her heart!
I was known as ice queen for a reason!
And here he walks around thinking he can break past all the walls of mine
"Hmmpptt I did what I thought was best! What's my fault if it backfired?" I muttered to myself as I changed positions on the bed
I clung to my large pillow, my arms around it and one of my legs over it as I lay there thinking
My mind wondered off to the thoughts of him again and I felt angry
Angry, confused and frustrated
Was what he said true?
Did he seriously like me?
But wait, he also said the same, only to break my naive heart into thousands of parts. I could calculate parts per million with it!
I sighed and turned to the other side in my bed
Whatever Kayan said played in my mind all the while before sleep consumed me
✨✨✨✨
The following morning, I got a message from Mr. Caleb saying he wishes to continue the meeting interrupted yesterday, today and another call from Aiyla saying she wants to video chat
I set cross legged on my well made bed with my iPad
"As salaam girlie girl!!!" She squealed at me and I smiled at her
"Was salaam" I said and she grinned

"Guess what?!?" She squealed
"What?" I asked her smiling
"My wedding dates are fixed!!!! It's in Fiji!" She yelled and I stared at her
Wow
"When is it?" I asked her
"June"
"Where is it?" I asked her
"We will be leaving for Fiji in May so then we will finalise and let you know and btw, you have to be there for the whole two months!!" She said and I chuckled
"Sure" I muttered and she frowned
"What's wrong?" She asked me and I shrugged
"Come on, Myrah! What's wrong?" She asked me, concern lacing her voice
"Kayantoldmeheiscourtingmelastnightandmadememeethisfamily" I said in one breath
She frowned again
"Myrah, deep breaths" she said soothingly and I took deep breaths in and out
After a few moments of silence she spoke
"Now tell me?" She said and I sighed
The one person I can tell everything to is Aiyla
"So this client of mine........" and that is how i told her the whole courting thing and she sighed
"Tell me his name" she stated and i shrugged
"Not important"
I excluded the detail because of her comment before that we were not compatible
"Alright, Alright but if he is nice, then i think you should give it a try" she said and i chuckled bitterly
"Right" i muttered and she sighed
"Alright alright, lets speak about my wedding then-" she said and from there onwards, we began talking about the upcoming wedding
We chatted for hours before i got a message from Kayan himself
Today was Saturday and I had work by 9 and it was only 7am now
"Aiyla, i will talk later baby. I have work to go to" i said and she laughed
"Alrighty- we will talk all about it when we meet in May! Muah bye babyy" she said and i laughed
"Allah Hafiz" i replied and she replied and hung up
I checked his message and almost burst out laughing
'So difficult to take desi family out for dinner. When you order the finest in the menu, they still mutter: "I could have made this at home"' Dinner with me and fam at Plaza Hotels?'

But then I realized what he meant
dinner
with him
and his family
wallahi what am i into?
Why me?
I sighed
'Salaam, won't they mind?'
i hit send and instantly received a reply
'No, it was her who requested your presence'
oh
I wonder why
'Wh-' before i could complete the sentence, my phone began ringing
Mr. Kayan popped up and i sighed
he could have just talked to me in messages
I swiped and answered the call
"As salaam"
His voice was sleepy
What the hell? Sleepy? Voice?
What am i thinking!?!
"Was salaam" I replied, sitting up straight
"So dinner date?" he questioned
"Why did your parents ask for my presence?" i asked him
"Because they wanted to" he replied
"Uhuh and i am living with Dinosaurs" I retorted and he chuckled
"No really, she just called and said invite Miss. Amyrah for dinner with us" he replied
"Ahh but i am-"
"Busy? I know you are not. Just wear something formal for a hotel dinner by 7pm, We will leave together" he said and i internally groaned
Dining and formal ones at that were just not my thing
I avoided them at all costs
"I don't want to go!!!" i whined like a little girl
"Amyrah, stop whining. You are still going to dinner with us" he stated and i whined more
"But I don't want to!!!!!!!" i whined even more
'Ask her if we can come over and order takeout?' asked a female voice
that was not him and i stopped whining
"Who's with you?" i questioned
"My sister! Who else?" he replied
"Oh.... " I muttered and shut up
"Kulthum please get out of my room now" he said nicely
'Amf if I said no?' Questioned the sister sassily and soon the two were quarelling
Completely ignoring me on the line
I got up with my phone and walked to the kitchen, all the while thinking how to escape the dinner
"Right, Amyrah? Amyrah you there?" Mr. Kayan's voice cut through my empty kitchen
"Yeah" I replied putting the cereal in the bowl and pouring milk into it
"Right, sorry about that. My sister tends to be crazy at times" he said and I shrugged
"So what say? Be ready?" He said as I cut the apples into pieces and threw it into the bowl
"Ummm I don't know Mr. Kayan, I mean I am not very much acquainted with your family and dinner with them..." I muttered as I put sliced bananas and cherries into it
"I get you but my mother will not. She has requested your presence and if you are afraid that they would find out about me courting you-" he said and I groaned
I was hoping he forgot about it but I guess he didn't
"-then don't fear. I already told them."
I halted in my actions
"Say what?" I asked him
"I told my parents about you" he replied casually as if we were discussing the damned weather
"Wallahi! What's wrong with you?" I asked him causing him to laugh
"Quit laughing!" I replied angrily
"Jeez woman, calm down. I did no such thing. Ammi just said she liked your company so she wants to have dinner with you. If you don't want a formal one, we can change it" he said and I exhaled a deep breath
"Alhamdulillah" I muttered taking my breakfast and my phone before walking to the kitchen counter
"Alright so I am telling mom to cancel it- we can have a bring a plate something" he said and before I could reply he was talking to his mother
I guess she was here?
"By the way, are they all at your place?" I asked him after he told me his mom agreed
"Yeah" he replied
"Okay, I have to go. Work" I said
"Okay, see you in the afternoon. Allah Hafiz" he replied and I replied an affirmative before hanging up
What was I into?
What game was Kayan Zaeef playing?
