ASSALAMUALAIKUM

How are you all doing?

Here's Chapter 18

Hope you'll all like it...

Enjoy.........

It's so good to have my best friend and his family over, well except the fact that we've not had time to talk doe cause he's been trying to get Mahreen to forgive him who went back to the room taking the help of Fatima and iman. Apparently she's angry but i don't know what transpired between them doe.

Right now we all youngsters are sitting in the living area while dad and uncle are watching cricket in the drawing room. Mom and aunt are in the kitchen with the cook.

"Okay everyone the famous Fatima is here. Who missed me? " We heard Fatima's voice who was coming down the stairs with Iman trailing behind.

I guess they didn't keep Mahreen company.

Seeing her face made me remember about that night in my study. I've been avoiding her ever since then. Whenever i see her,i feel these wierd sensations which i can't explain but i'm definitely not supposed to have them.

I love Alishba only even if she's been ignoring my calls. She only calls me when she's out of money.

I can't wait for her to be back. I miss her so much.

"You know the answer to that Tima." Alina scoffed.

I don't know what's wrong with her but she's been all moody since we all sat here.

"Aww yes Lina. I know the answer. You really missed me so much." Fatima squeeled.

Let me tell you sometimes this girl behaves like a four year old.

"You wish i do."

"Whatever helps you sleep at night Lina."

"Umm Bh...Iman, did Mahreen fall asleep?" Bilal asked.

"No bhai she was about to watch fear files before we left doe she asked us to watch with her but i don't do well with horror stuffs and so do Fatima,so we both left." Iman spoke with her head downcast.

Wow i guess pregnancy can change someone.

The Mahreen i know is really scared of horror movies.

I remember back in London when we were still in the university, Mahreen was already engaged to bilal then. We all went to the movies with Mahreen's friend and we were seeing a less scary movie but all of a sudden Mahreen's scream boomed the whole theatre. We almost got kicked out that day.

It was so hilarious and annoying.

"Ya Allah this stubborn wife of mine. She doesn't act well after watching any horror movies,she always loose her sanity and now she's pregnant. I better go check up on her." Bilal stood up and literally ran up the stairs.

I would have been suprised.

I guess pregnancy only made her grumpy but didn't change her scardy part.

One time she was looking true her locker and i went behind her and yelled Boo, she literally screamed and accidentally banged her head in the locker.

Ahh old memories. So funny.

"Iman come sit here." I heard Angela's voice which brought me out of my thoughts.

I looked towards iman's direction where she was standing behind Fatima.

Why are they still standing?

There's many vacant sofas or are they our bodyguards or maybe a secret agent.

Iman nodded her head and moved towards the couch where Angela and Zayn were sitting with a safe distance between them. As soon as Iman was about to near them, angela moved to the end of the sofa patting the middle space for Iman to sit.

"Umm....i think i'll sit next to Alina." Iman said calmly.

Yeah you better not sit next to a man who's not me.

What am i even saying?

Zayn who was on his phone as always finnaly decided to glance at the situation.

"Uhh what's going on?" He asked with confusion in his eyes.

"Ooh it's nothing. I'm just offering Iman a sit beside us."

"And why would you do that? I'm not even happy that you're sitting here so why do you want to irritate me more by inviting blondie to sit beside me." Zayn scoffed.

Someone tell this guy to stop calling her Blondie

"Ahh you guys just stop bickering already. Beautiful come sit beside Alina or any other sofa and you don't call her blondie again, you don't know how much it irritates me." Zayan said.

Yeah thank you Zayan but yours is the most irritating. Calling someone's wife beautiful.

Who does that?

Iman moved to where Alina is and sat next to her.

" Ohh come on you bro y'all have nicknames for her. Like you always call her beautiful so Blondie is my nickname for her and i'll be calling her that all the time." Zayn spoke and moved his gaze towards Fatima who was still standing like a bodyguard.

Seriously??

"Come sit here Tee." Zayn offered patting a space besides him.

Look how sweet he is when it comes to her.

He was just rude to my wife a minute ago. I need to address this. Yeah i know i despise Iman but Zayn can't be all rude to her when she's done nothing to him.

But wait..

What if she's done something that i know nothing about?

I hope not.

"Nope thanks for the offer. I'll sit over there with Iman and Alina."

After that we all sat in a comfortable silence until Angela broke it.

"Are we going to just going to sit here and stare at each other or watch some movies?" Angela asked.

"Firstly no one was staring and secondly movie sounds great. How about some romantic kdrama." Fatima suggested.

"Tee i always agree with what you say but this idea is lame. Romantic Kdrama? What are we? Girls!!" Zayn mocked with a sarcastic laugh.

"What's wrong with romantic kdrama?" Fatima asked bewildered.

"Everything is wrong with that idea. I suggest we watch a horror movie. How about the walking dead or maybe vampire diaries." Zayn suggested.

Hmmm I agree with him. That's a better idea other than Fatima's lame movie.

Ahh i hate romance movies. Alishba always makes me watch with her and it's damn stupid. Unrealistic love that can never happen in reality. Romance movie is just plain pain.

"No horror movies dudes. Let's watch a turkish drama." Angela suggested.

Everyone's just suggesting movies. Aggh i loved the silence a few minutes ago doe Alina,Iman and Zayan are still silent.

Which keeps me wondering.

Why is Alina silent?

"We won't watch any stupid Turkish drama." Zayan protested.

Well i guess Zayan is out. Now only Alina and queen bee are quiet.

Wow it's been a while since i call her that in my thoughts.

I'm such a silly person.

"Hey turkish dramas aren't stupid. You're the one stupid." Angela pouted.

Wow this isn't angela.

The Angela that i knew never loved turkish movies but now she's acting like someone who's ready to kill if she doesn't watch it.

"Wait let's ask Alina. What do you want to watch?" Zayan asked Alina who kept a poker face.

"Umm I'm not in the mood for this. I'll go to my room, tell mum i'm not hungry." Alina stood up and went towards the stairs.

Seriously i need to find out what's wrong with her.

"Hmm that was wierd, okay so what about you beautiful?"

Stop calling her that. I yelled in my head.

"Umm i don't watch movies that much so i really don't have a preference." Iman replied fidgeting with her fingers.

"Yeah it's true she's always- uh nvm." Angela laughed nervously as if she just said something she isn't supposed to.

Hmm.

"Uhh you guys carry on i'll go check up on Alina." Iman got up from the sofa straightening her dress, she was about to leave the living area when fatima called out to her.

"Wait for me Im. Bye everyone " she yelled trailing behind Alina.

"Crazy." I mumored but seems like Zayn heard it.

"Hey don't call her that." He protested.

I raised my hands in surrender .

" Okay then let's play rock, paper, scissors and whoever wins gets to choose the movie." Zayan suggested his stupid childish idea.

I think I've had enough.

I'll leave before it gets more childish.

getting up from the sofa "Okay guys I'm off too."I said before leaving the room.

I went to my study and took care of some unfinished files. After an hour we got called to the dining for dinner and i was utterly suprised to see Alina there sitting happily.

I guess they've sorted whatever it Is.

"Do you all know what I'm craving for right now?" Mahreen broke the comfortable silence in the dining room.

"Aghh you're always craving something. How do you deal with her bro?" I asked Bilal teasingly.

"You had to ask dude. I'm a walking corspe cause of her constant tantrums." Bilal replied teasingly and Mahreen gasped.

"Are you seriously saying this. I'll teach you a lesson when we get back and you're surely sleeping on the couch."

"Mum you see how cruel your daughter is to your poor son." Bilal whined to Aunt while everyone just laughed except Mahreen who was fuming in anger.

"I wish faze is here right now. He always gets me whatever i crave for, such a wonderful brother.He would have gotten golgappy for me within a second. I can't wait for him to get back." She said with her hand resting on her chin while she was puffing.

Just Incase you're welcome faze is Bilal's younger brother. He studies in California and will be back tomorrow.

"Okay i'll get you golgappy tommorow. Just eat this for now and have the tomato juice as the doctor said okay." Bilal patted her head while she nodded still pouting like a child.

Ahh pregnant Mahreen is really fun to watch but mostly annoying.

We ate the rest of our meal in peace as Mahreen decided not to bother us anymore.

After dinner when everyone was already retired to their room, i called mum and dad to the drawing room about Zayn and Fatima's issue.

"Umm i called you both here cause i want to speak to you concerning the matter of Zayn and Fatima." I started.

"What about them?" Dad asked.

"As you know i won't be getting married to fatima as you guys proposed and it's definitely obvious that Zayn and fatima like each other, so i was thinking why not get them married." I suggested.

They both were silent all of a sudden and seemed to be in deep thoughts.

I hope they accept this.....
