Dr. Rubab how are you?.

Ohh hey Dr. Syra I'm all good. What about you?.

I'm all good too.

So hows life going?.

Well umm..its going fine!.

What about yours Syra?.

It's going fineeeee...

What's up with your fineeee...

Nothing just mama forcing me to get married.

Ohh!!. Well why dont you get married!. It's going to be soo fun you know!. You getting married and I'll dance on your wedding!!. Hayeeeee I cant wait for that day when my and only one bestie will get married!!!!!!!

Shut up Rubab!.

I don't want to get married now!.

Then when do you want get married Ms. Dr. Syra?. When you are 88 years old?.

Shut up idiot!. I hate you!!.

Haha I love you moreeee!!.

Oye!. Finish up your lunch and get back to work. Ohh and yeah I remembered right now that Dr. Harris told me tell you that after break meet him up in his room!.

Uh huh!. Okayyyy...

Will see you later Rubab! 

Huh!. Yeahhh!.

Later Syra!.

What would Dr. Harris need from me??. Hmm!. Maybe there will be some work that he wants to discuss.

Going inside the lift I pressed the button for the first floor.

Getting out I made my way towards Dr. Harris's room. I just hope everything is okay!. I mentally prayed.

Once reaching there I knocked.

Come in!. I heard Dr. Harris's voice.

Ohh hey Dr. Harris you asked for me.

Ohh yeah i asked Syra to call you after break.

Umm soo what is it?. Anything to be discussed.

Umm no Dr. Rubab. It's just I wanted to ask of you are free for today?. I mean can you come to my house for dinner today?. If you don't mind?.

Hahaha!. No I'm all free after work. I'll come to your house for dinner.

After finishing all the work I glanced at the clock. It was 8:30PM. Arranging the files and clearing the desk. I got up.

Making my way out I went towards the ladies bathroom.

Taking out a light lipgloss from my purse I applied it on my lips. Quickly taking a last glance at myself I made my way out.

Once reaching the parking lot I found Dr. Harris's car coming my way.

Come on in Dr. Rubab.

Sure.

Closing the door I sat in.

How was your day today Rubab?.

It was all good.

What about yours?.

My also went all perfect.

Having a light conversation we reached in no time at Dr. Harris's house.

Come on Dr. Rubab!.

Yeah!.

Entering in I glanced at his house. It was really an beautiful and a comfortable one.

Wow!. Your house is really beautiful!.

Haha thank you Rubab!.

Have a seat while I'll just keep my things in the room and come down.

Sure!.

Dr. Harris never invited anyone to his house. Mostly he kept all of us till the restaurants or movies but never his house.

But this thing is actually killing me why did he bring me over to his house for dinner??.

Ugh!!. What am I even thinking after all we are best friends maybe he wanted to show me his house or maybe he wanted to discuss something else. That's why he found his home to talk over.

I shouldn't be overthinking. He's a good guy that I can trust and plus my bestfriend.

Roaming around I saw his family pictures hung on the wall. His mom died in a car accident when he was young and his father alive but never contacted him after his mom's death.

He's been lonely since then. But sometimes I do feel bad for him. He has no one to take care of him when he's sick or when he's at work to cook food for him. No one to share his feelings or have talks when he's at home. May Allah give him all the happiness he deserves!!. I mentally prayed for him.

Walking back I sat on the sofa and opened my mobile to inform mama that I'm on dinner at Dr. Harris's house.

Quickly messaging I kept the mobile back in my purse.

Im sorry Rubab. For keeping you wait. What would you like to have for dinner?.

Naah it's okay!. I...umm don't know. Umm you tell?.

Umm..let's order pizza from outside!.

Uh..huh!. Sure why not.

Pizza will arrive in half an hour.

Ohkayy!!.

What would you like to watch till then?. Movies or any series on Netflix?.

Movies!.

Rubab pizza is here!.

Yeah coming!.

How is it?.

Its really good!.

After finishing the pizza I helped Harris clear up the table. Throwing the box of pizzas in the bin. I washed my hands.

Umm...Rubab?.

Yeah?.

Umm..I need to talk to you.

Sure why not!.

Coming out from the dining area. We went towards the lounge.

Have a seat Rubab!.

Sure!. What is it that you wanted to tell me.

Uh..uh!. Rubab I wanted to tell that I...

Umm..I what Harris?.

I..I Love You Rubab!.

You what Harris?.

Yeah it's TRUE Rubab!. That I love you!.

Jab say mein nay tumhay dekha hai I couldn't help but fall for you. Mujhai tumsay pyaar ho gya hai Rubab. Aaj tak kbhi kisi say itni mohabbat nai hui jitni aapsay hui hai Rubab!!.

K..kya bol rhay ho Harris??. Pagal ho gaye ho kya?. Tumhay mujhsay pyaar ho gya hai??.

Harris mein tumsay nai krti pyaar. I only thought that we were best friends Harris. But love...where did this all come from Harris??.

Q Rubab??. Best friends say agay kuch nai ho skta?. Pyaar nai ho skta kya??.

I freaking love you Rubab!!.

Getting up from my place I grabbed my purse.

Wait here Rubab!.

Nai Harris I'm leaving this instant!.

I almost opened the door when Harris grabbed my wrist.

Aap nai ja skti Rubab!. You have to hear me out!.

Q nai ja skti mein!!. Choro mujhai Harris. It hurts.

It hurts right!. Then what about my feelings haan!. Aren't they hurt?. Am I not hurt?.

Did i tell you to fall in love with me Harris??. Did I??.

Slamming me on the  near by wall.

Ohh gosh!!. My back!!.

Suno meri baat Rubab!.

I closed my eyes to intake the sharp pain in my back.

I could feel Harris's fingers on my cheeks that sent me shivers down my spine.

What is this feeling?. Why am I feeling this way??.

I didn't dare to open my eyes because i knew he's staring right at me.

Rubab!. Please meri baat suno. I love you!!. Mein aap keh baghair nai reh skta. Mein jitni bhi koshish kr loon mein nai reh skta!. Jitna door rhoon aap say nai reh skta!. Mujhai khood nai pta mein aap say keysay pyaar krnay lug gya hoon. Pr jab bhi aap meray samnay aati thi kbhi himmat nai hui izhaar krnay ki apni mohabbat!. Aap ko jab bhi dekhta hoon kbhi bhi nai rok paya apnay aap ko aapsay mohabbat krnay keh liye!. Jaanta hoon aap mujhsay nai pyaar krteen. Pr mein kroon toh kya kroon ho gayi mujhai aapsay mohabbat!!. Nai rok paya apnay aap ko....

I opened my eyes to look at him. There was pain hurt and love and many other emotions that I could see in his eyes.

Harris please let me go!. Please Harris!. I never ever thought that my own best friend would fall for me. I always thought of you like my brother who was always there when I needed him. How could you fall for me Harris??.

I..I please Harris..

Rubab dekho meri aankhon mein..Aapko mohabbat nazr nai aati kya meri nazroon mein??. Mein chah kr bhi nai rok paya apnay aapko Rubab. Maana aap meri bestfriend hain pr mein kya krta...nai rok paya mein!!. Hamesha Khuda say dua mein aapko he manga hai menay!!. Hamesha!!.

Haaris smjhnay ki koshish kro mein tumsay pyaar nai krti. Harris tumhay mujhsay zyada achi lrki mil skti hai jo tumsay pyaar kray gi. Tumhay sub kuch day gi jo tum chahtay ho. Mein wo lrki nai hoon Harris. Nai hoon mein woh lrki.

Mujhai or koi nai chaiye aap he hain woh!!. Keysay mein kisi or say mohabbat krskta hoon jab aap he meri pehli mohabbat hain....

Harris..khuda keh liye...

Seeing him this vulnerable made me weak.

Bringing my hands closer to his face I wiped off his tears.

Harris let go of me. I'm not the perfect one for you. I'm already broken Harris. I cannot bring myself together for loving you.

Cupping his face in my hands I could feel him shiver.

Harris held my hand and placed it on his chest.

You feel this. This heart only beats for you Rubab!!. Keysay chor skta hoon aapsay mohabbat krna mein.

I removed my hand from his chest and wiped my tears.

Kya mein mohabbat keh kabil nai hoon Rubab??. Kya mein itna he..

Harris..ayesa na bolo tum ho mohabbat keh kabil pr mein nai hoon woh lrki Harris jo tumhay khush rkh skti hai...Mein khood tooti hui hoon andur say Harris...

Rubab...

I need to go Harris. I'll see you tomorrow.

Grabbing my purse from the floor that was fallen I made my way towards the door and opened it.

Looking back I saw Harris in tears and his eyes holding lots of emotions.

Bye Harris.

Bye Rubab!!.

Glancing at me for the last time he closed the door.

I kept on walking with my head down and tears streaming down my eyes!!...

Yaa Allah!!. Q ho rha hai durd mujhai Harris ko dekh kr. Q Allah??. Q mujhai takleef ho rhi hai??. Q??. Kya itna bura kiya hai meinay jo aaj mujhai Durd ho rha hai??. Kya meinay Harris ka dil tor diya hai??. Yaa Allahhhh!!.

Q kiya meinay yeh??. Q kiya meinay??. Q Harris ka durd mujhai mehsoos ho rha hai??. Q Allah??.....
