that day i had alot of sneezing and soon i was on medics- i hate medics- they make me feel vulnerable-
i walked back into my office all fit and fine from two weeks of medics, headaches, soups and whatnot!
yeah.... i was sick for 2 weeks, did work form home, Ruqayyah got closer to ammi and Iqra and i guess thats it?
the emotions were always here so i learnt to be with it instead of fighting over it or worrying over it!
i placed all my blueprints on the desk and walked out of the office to get myself some coffee that i drink once in a while-
with a cup of coffee, a spring roll and a huge file of financial records, i set to work- with no success at all
why?
coz a certain niqabi's eyes decided to distract me
it was annoying- a beautiful type of annoying
i sighed and ran my hand through my short cut hair
"why are you in my head?" i said as if talking to her as i rubbed my temples
"Whos in your head?" i looked up to see Shumayll smirking at me
I smiled at him
"No one" i replied and he chuckled as he set infront of me
"So whats the deal?" he asked me
i shook my head
"No deal" i said and drank my coffee
"ohhh so that's why you did not notice me standing infront of you for the past 5 minutes?" he asked me and i was startled
5 minutes?
"t-that" i said and heaved a deep breath
Shumayll looked at me and smiled
"Look bhai- i know you- not long enough but still i know you like a close brother- so tell me what happened?" he asked me in all serious mode
i sighed
what do i tell him? stress? over some niqabi?
"Stress over her?!" he asked in disbelief
i stared at him
did i say that out loud?
he nodded
i screwed my eyes shut
"You- you are stressed over her?" he asks me and i sighed again
I put my head into my hands and sighed
"I don't know alright- just- don't know" i muttered and just then a knock came on the door
'Come in" i muffed out without putting my head up
"sir your coffee-" said Ruqayyah's voice and my head snapped up
a piecing pain shot through my neck and i winced
"Are you okay sir?" she asked me rushing to my side and i nodded my head
"Just give me some painkillers" i said and she hurried out
"Mind if i drink that coffee?" asked Mayll and i nodded
'go ahead" i said and rubbed my neck
"so....... that was awkward" he said sipping his coffee and i glared at him
