awsome! its like watching a movie in my mind .. remember u promised happy ending!

moreeeeeee.

Aarish had changed. He wasnt very talkative to begin with, but there was somethign different about him. He was nicer yet he wasnt. He didnt start up fights anymore and he didnt pick on us either. I guess I should have been happy, but I wasnt. I didnt want to face another change, not again.

"Baji... dont yo think Bhaijaan has changed?" Maham inquired as we both watched a movie. Aarish was upstairs in the study
"What do you mean... as in how?"
"I dunno.... he just ummm doesnt do anything anymore"
"I dunno... he's been through a lot. And you know he hardly ever talks about his emotions"
"hmm yeah..."
"did someone say something?"
"Na... Sara noticed it..."
"hmmm yeah..."

I really didnt know what to say. Maybe I would be acting the same if I had gone through all that on my own. But then again, is there anything in this world that could keep me quieter than 2 minutes? I dont think so.

My day was busy as always. The phone was ringing non-stop all day. I had hardly touched the code I'd been trying to work on for the past week or so. I was on a phone with a client when Daniyal called. I cancelled his call and called back in 5 minutes.

"Huh! Blanked my call! I'll blank u, u blanker!"
"Hi Dan... whats up"
"ummm nuffin... what you doing for lunch... not meeting Anam again I hope" He whinged. I laughed
"No... do you want to meet up huh?"
"Hmm.. maybe.. im busy you know"
"What time do you wanna meet Daniyal Jee?"
"12.30..on the dot! I'm a busy person!"
"Sure sure... byee"
"cyaaa"

I was at StarBucks at 12.25. I waited 5 minutes. I waited 10 minutes. I waited some more. It was 12.50.

"Idiot! Always makes me wait. Pagal Head! How dare he.. I'll be late next time. Then he blames me for running off on him. Not happy. Where is he?! Please Allah Mian, I hope he's ok." I conversed with myself and Allah Mian.

"Howdy!" He came from behind.
"Jaldi! I've only got 20 minutes left... then I'm going"
"20 minutes!! Noo... you're staying for an hour at least"
"I've got to get back... and you said 12.30!" We argued as we went in and ordered our hot chocolate and latte
"You know I'm never on time... you should be used to that by now"
"I'm not... you silly!"

We took a seat near the front, so I could run out as soon as I finished my drink. I looked at him. He looked yummy in his grey suit. He had taken off his tie and had the top two buttons undone.

"So... why you looking all slack today?" I asked
"Slack?! It's called style... something girls die for.. but, you wouldnt know"
I rolled my eyes.
"So go on.. tell me the big news" I looked at him and smiled
"What news?"
"Go on.. I know theres something"
"How do you do that?" He smiled back
"Dan Dan.... you will never know me"
He laughed. I melted for the millionth time. He gulped down his latte.
"I left my job today..." he waited for my reaction
"what?! you serious... wow.. "
"Yeap... now I'm a lazy bum.."
"No.. you were always that... " I teased
"Hey....! Actually, I'm being sent to the US" He looked up and then turned his glance down on the table
"Oh cool..." I said but my insides woudlnt agree "When are you gonna go?"
"I think in about a week..." He looked up again.
"Oh... " I smiled "Congratulations"

I got back to the office. The phones were quiet now. The code looked at me, I stared back. I missed Mama.

Keep writing Sadzz. Its great! :hula:

thanx for writing!
:-)

HUMSA: aawww :hug: im bad for me too

Afia: thanx for reading it :flower2: i cant believe u read the whole thing in one go!

Anam called that evening. I hadnt spoken to her for a week.

"Hi!" She screamed into the phone. I took the cordless upto my room and closed the door behind me. I was gonna vent to her. Tell her exactly how I felt. Tell her how much I disliked boys and how selfish they all were. She was so lucky to be married to an awesome guy. His only downfall, he was best friends with Daniyal. Oooooh I could hit him right now. How dare he leave me! After all we've been through. Didnt he even once think how I would feel? Did I not mean anything to him? Oh bequiet Ansa! Stop being selfish. We have no commitment to one another. What are we? Just friends. Why does he have to stop his life for me? Have I said or done anything to him for him to even stay? You sook.

"Oye.. where have you been?" She inquired "I know I'm not number one anymore. It's just Dan all the way now isnt it.. I know. I can take it you know..."
"Oh hush... he's nothing..."
"hmm do I sense tension? Is there trouble?"
'No!" I got aggitated "Whats up with you.... you seem extremely happy"
"hmm I am...."
"Go on.. spit it out"
"hmmm hmmm"
"hurry up!" There was excitement, nervousness. My tummy burped.
"Ummm are you ready to be called Khala?" She whispered
"What! No way! Nooooo way.... ohmygosh! like nooooo way" I screamed into the phone. Then whispered. Then I jumped out of bed and jumped onto it again. "Like noooooooo way!"
"Ummm.. you're more excited than me!" She laughed.

I couldnt believe she was pregnant. My bestfriend was having a baby. I was giong to be a Khala. I wasnt married. I didnt have a guy. I was turning 24. My mum was in Pakistan. My family was all over the place. Daniyal was leaving. I hate my job. I was depressed.

"Imran must be sooo happy..." I tried to forget my life and get all excited again. I made myself think of happy things.
"Yeah... he was crying like a baby when we found out"
"how cute!" I laughed ".. does your whole family know?"
"Umm na not yet. I wanted to tell you first... Imran's on my back. He wants to call Daniyal. He's cheeks are all red"
"awwww.... you want me to call you back?"
"Na... he can wait..... tell me bout you and Dan... whats happening?"

I sighed. Where to begin I thought. Everything was really good between us, I mean it couldnt be better. But, I felt like crap. If I'd spoken to Anam yesterday, I would have been on cloud 9. Rigth now, I was in a massive ditch with no way out.

"Yeah its all good... he ummmm he's umm going to US in a week or so"
"what? for what?"
"umm he has some project thingy there that he has to work on..."
"how longs he going for?"
"dunno... not sure. maybe 3 months.. maybe less.. maybe a year... dunno"
"Have you told him how you feel?"

Anam has been on my back about Daniyal ever since I met him. She tells me that I have to confess to him otherwise I could totally lose him. She says Im wasting time. But, I think, he should know by now. How dense could he be?

"Annie... if you dont tell him now you'll never get the chance again! How many times do I have to tell you girl?"
"What am I supposed to say? He should say something"
"You're just as bad as each other... do you want me to ask Imran to talk to him?"
"No! And say what...."My wifes friend has this massive crush on you. Can you please put her out of her misery and marry her?".. yeah right Anam.. Its not that easy. Maybe if I didnt know him very well, I could have told him... but I cant right now. He has to go"
"Fine. Do whatever you please..."
"Come on.. dont be that way. This is your special day.... dont worry about me, Ok?"

We changed the topic back to her and her pregnancy. She told me stories about her family. I blanked out here and there, couldnt concentrate for very long without thinknig bout Daniyal. Why couldnt I tell him how I felt? But, if he liked me he would have said something by now. No?

Aww, I’m sucked back into it!
