Salam everyone Have a nice day. Enjoy!

Chapter 2.

-------------

"I will be right back" Aminah told me because she was sitting next to me. I nodded and saw walking out of the room. I get back in conversation with Shaheer but keep stealing glances of Zoya who was looking at the door with a frown. I sigh and shake my head, try not to think about it.

'I love him' these 3 words was the most painful words that I still hurt me a lot when I think about it, but I keep myself normal and never show my emotions to anyone not even Khadija when she asked me about it.

I excused myself and walk in the kitchen to get some space. I sighed heavily and closed my eyes to let the scenes come back in my closed eyes when I heard the love of my life confess her love for someone.

Flashback

I smiled confidently at myself in the mirror and ready to walk out. I take a last deep breath to calm my nerves and replace it with normal look. I walk in the hallway and pass doors to doors before coming in front of the door I want to go. I was about to knock when I heard something slamming from inside.

"What?" I heard Amir yelling from inside, making me frown. What he is doing here at this time? Shouldn't he be on his floor working? I look at my watch and saw it was lunch time.

"Yeah. Please Amir don't tell anyone. You are my brother and that is why I am telling you." Zoya soft but scared voice come from inside after a few minutes of silence.

"Zoya you do have any idea what you are going to do? What if he rejects you? What if he doesn't want to do all this?"

"Amir, please don't think negative about it. I know he will agree on this. Once we are together, I will make sure to take care of him."

"I-I love him. I love Shehroz." As soon as she says last sentence I freeze in my place. I can't believe she loves him. How long all this is going on? I thought I would tell her about my feelings and she confess her feelings for me, but I didn't know it wasn't me.

I take a step back and shake my head with a sigh. I have to leave. I can't stay here now. I have to go back home. I turned around and leave the building. I stop a cab and tell him to take me airport. I get a ticket of next flight to home and get ready to go back. When the plane was about to take off I look out of the window and release a shaky sigh with a pair of tear that rolled down from my face.

I am leaving to make you happy. I hope you will always be happy and get with him soon.

"Asim?" A light hand on my shoulder snapped me out of my heart breaking memory. I blink my eye and turned around with a smile. Khadija looked at me with a worried look, but I keep smiling.

"Yeah?" I asked her to turn my back and grabbed a glass of water. I started to drink it when she comes in front of me and continue to look at me closely. I hate when she knows I am hiding something from her. I never hide anything from her, but only my feelings for her sister in law.

"What's wrong? Why are you sad?" She asked softly. I sighed and put the glass away and face her.

"Nothing is wrong with me. I am just tired of all these things. I can't wait to get back home to see Mom Dad. They tell me they are visiting me this weekend." I told her with a smile. She smiled and nodded.

"I miss Uncle and Aunty. Give my Salam when you meet them." She says. I nodded and we leave kitchen to living room with cake. I put it on the table and lit the candle before stepping aside when Rauhan come forward with his daughter Rubab. He held her little hands with plastic knife and cut the cake as we all sing Happy Birthday. Usama takes pictures when they feed their daughter. Suddenly I feel her presence closer to me, but I paid no attention.

"Here" Zoya says softly as she gives everyone piece of cake. I take it without looking up at him and thank her. I could tell she was frowning because never before I had never acted this way with her. I just wanted to get away from her so she could happily live her life.

She sighed and walked around and sit next to Shehroz since no one was sitting beside him. I looked around and my eyes stop when I saw serious talking to her with a smile. I frowned because he never talked to her before. When little party was over we all head back to our places.

I went back at Rauhan apartment and take a relaxing shower and wear something comfortable. I lay back on the bed and stared up at the ceiling and think about today event mostly Zoya. I always think about her before I sleep and just pray she will get everything she deserves in her life. With that pray I close my eyes and fall into sleep.

Aminah.

'Meet me outside. Please' 

I get message from an unknown number. I frowned when I saw that. I don't know whose number is that. I think I should tell Usama Bhai about it. I looked up to find him, but he wasn't there and my eyes accidentally locked with Shehroz. He was signalling me toward the door. Now I know who it is.

I looked at him with a confused but he stood up with his phone on his ear and walk out. I know he wasn't talking with anyone. I waited for a few minutes before I excused myself and walk after him. I step out of the front door when I saw it open. He was standing by the wall with his head down.

"Why you call me here?" I asked him as I stood in front of him. He quickly looks up at me with a look that I can't name it.

"I-I" He stuttered and paused. He takes a deep breath before looking at me again. "Aminah, I know you wouldn't believe me, but I really love you. Please give me a chance to prove my love for you and marry me." He finished and looked at me nervously. Honestly, I was shocked because I didn't accept him to fall for me, but there is something else. He is a player.

"Who reject you this time?" I asked him directly because I know someone reject him and he want to make her jealous by staying with me. I know about it when my friend from Pakistan rejected him and he used my cousin to make her jealous.

"No! I love you. I am not lying or anything. I swear I love you and I will do anything to get your love." He said and I could feel his emotions in his voice but sadly I am not interested in anyone.

"Look Shehroz, I respect your feeling but I didn't see you in that way. You are my friends and that is it. I am sorry, but I can't do this. I want to complete my studies friend and then I want to make my career before I think about marriage. I am sorry." I told him honestly and saw hurt in his eye. I hate that look, because I never see him in that way.

"Please Aminah. You can study and do job after we get married, I have no problem with it but please marry me. My parents want me to marry someone who I don't even love." He pleaded, but I shook my head and leave from there. I swallow a lump of worries because I know he is going to do something which he regrets later.

I walked back inside and again sit next to Asim. He gives me a confused look, but I just smile and shake my head. Asian is my like a brother to me. He asked me to play with him and Khadija when he comes to meet her at her home in Pakistan. He is really a nice guy and the girl he marry will be every happy with him.

After the cake was cut by Rubab and we all get a piece of cake, we sit on the couch and started to talk. Yasir Bhai, Usama Bhai, Shaheer, Rauhan, Asim and Amir were talking about their office work while Hira Bhabhi, Khadija and I talk about our lives. Both Khadija and Hira Bhabhi are happy in their married life. I am happy for Khadija that she gets a person like Rauhan as her husband after Zaid betrayed her, but she forgave them when she saw their little boy because she love kids.

Sana and Zaid couldn't make it to come here because they went to Alia Zaid sister. She called them after 3 years of what they did. She wanted to forgive them because she finally understands that whatever they do was for Khadija. My thoughts were broken when I feel eyes on me. I looked around and saw Shehroz looking at me with a smirk which is he always do, but what I didn't get it is Zoya. She was talking to him smiling and sometimes her laugh. I should have known he was playing and now he is using Zoya to make me jealous but I will not let that happen. Not because I am feeling jealous, but because she is Hira Bhabhi and Khadija sister and I also see her as my sister.

I take out my phone and stood up while massaging her to meet me in the kitchen. As I step in there I get her reply that she will be here. I waited for her and after 10 minutes she finally comes. She refilled two glasses of cold drinks and turned to look at me.

"So, you and Shehroz?" I raised my eyebrow at her. I saw her lightly blush and smile, but didn't hide it.

"N-No. There is nothing between us. He is a good friend."

"Zoya listen to me carefully. Whatever Shehroz is doing is all a plan. Please try to ignore him. You don't know, but he is a player. He played with my friend and cousin when it was Hira Bhabhi wedding. Don't think I feel anything for him it is just that I don't want you to get her. I care about you. You are like my sister." I told her. I expected her to look surprised, but she looks at me with a blank look.

"Are you done?" She asked in an annoyed voice. I looked at her confused.

"Zoya? What happened to you? I am only trying to tell you truth."

"I know the truth very well Aminah. I know about Shehroz and he is not a player. He is not what you think. He tells me that you are after him. You are telling me all this because you can't see him with me not because you care about me."

"No, whatever he told to you was all wrong. I am not interested in him or anyone. You know me, Zoya how could you believe him? How could you even with him?" I asked her shocked, but she simply smiled and pick up a tray before walking pass me but stop.

"Because I truly love him."
