CHAPTER 8
CHAPTER 8
After having breakfast dua was simply lying on the bed in her room. Undoubtedly she was wondering
who help her last night. What would might have happened if she wasn't at home. Probably ayesha
would have succeeded in her plan. Then what might her baba would had done. Dua kept on
wondering. She even prayed shukrana in order to thank Allah. After all he is almighty and all knowing.
Dua had always believed what ever will happen in her life, no matter how bad situation she's put into
Allah will always help her. This time she believed that Allah himself sent an angel in form of the
strangers to help her.
She was still wondering when she heard a knock on her door she got up and positioned herself sitting
on the bed.
"Whose it" she asked first.
"It's me arham" arham said from other side of the door.
Dua took a deep breath and yelled him to come inside.
Arham was friends with dua and ayesha since there kindergarten. But he was more a friend to dua. He
use to stay by her when ayesha and her friends use to bully dua. It was all good until arham developed
a crush on ayesha in the high school. Things weren't same after that between dua and arham. Though
dua might have a bit liking for arham, she knew it won't matter because he is already head over heels
for ayesha.
Arham sat on the white couch present in dua's room, starring the floor.
No one said anything. Just silently sat not uttering a single word. But arham was there for a reason so
finally broke the ice.
"Listen dua I'm sorry. Sorry for leaving you alone yesterday. I didn't wanted to but then I met Ismael and
razaak and we kept on talking and I completely forgot about you. That I left you alone on the terrace
but trust me later I went to check you but you weren't there on the terrace and" he paused for a bit and
continued "and I came to apologize but when I came, after seeing how mad mr.shah was I am truly
guilty. I am sorry." He said and finally looked at dua's face to get any hint of her emotions.
Dua kept a straight face and said " it's okay arham you're not the first one to leave me alone".
Dua wasn't sad that arham left her last night she was sad because he cheated her he ask her to drink a
spiked drink. She didn't even wanted to imagine what might he had done to her along with ayesha. But
she was more sad that he didn't apologize for inserting a knife in her back.
Dua pretended that she did not know anything about his spiked drink.
"Listen dua. I am sorry. I am honestly saying that I met Ismael and raazak and I totally forgot...." dua
paused him.
"I don't care whether you were with Ismael raazak or with ayesha. I totally don't care. I know there are
important things to you, more important than me like ayesha. But then you should have lied to me. You
asked me to stay there and promised you'll be back but you weren't. You know what do your important
work I do not care."
"I wasn't with your sister. She was with some else." Arham said sadly.
Dua caught the sadness toned in his voice her anger was now long gone. She was concerned about
arham.
"You okay arham." Dua asked getting up from her place and sitting beside arham maintaining a good
distance between them on the couch.
Arham shook his head a bit and said
" listen dua I am honestly sorry would you please forgive me. Please." Arham said.
After accepting his apologies dua and arham chatted for bit and then he left.
The rest whole day dua kept herself busy with the paper work she had.
Dua worked as teacher in the college. She is a biology teacher in the science faculty of the college.
The college paid her a quiet good for her job.
While on other hand ayesha was planning her future with armaan.
