A deafening whistling sound wheezed through her auditory canal like the one echoing during the flat line on electrocardiogram machine ,though her heartbeat raced and galloped like they knew another way to work as she gawked at Khaled standing at the door ,staring deep into her soul but getting no response ,his brow quirk a bit before taking slow steps towards her .

Emaan gulped as her head angled up ,looking back at Khaled now standing before her as he asked ,

"What is it that you need to think before telling me and ...". He stepped closer ,his eyes scanning over her face urgently as his hand moved to cup her cheek lightly,

"And more importantly ,why do you look so pale ? Do you feel you alright ? Did you..".

Covering his hand with her's ,Emaan shook her head slightly stopping Khaled from speaking ,she stared down before glancing up again and gulping hard, all motivated by the ardent concern and compassion exhuming through his eyes and actions ,she pressed her lips ready to narrate everything to Khaled ,everything churning inside her harrowing only fear and anxiety but beating her to it ,another exhilarated voice disturbed them ,whisking them brashly out of their world .

"Oh my Allah ! Is that Dr Khaled ? This was his voice,right Emmiii ? Oh my ! His voice is so deep ! Even my baby is kicking with excitement ! Emmiiiiii ! Put the speaker on phone ! Let me talk to our deep sexy guttral voice holder bhaijaan !". Sana gushed .

Emaan ,who had completely forgotten about the phone in her hand and the call going on that device dwindled between shock ,surprise before landsliding to sheer embarassment.

How in the world she ended up friends like these ? Like she wasn't enough to embarrass herself ? She got herself companions who always added cherry on top .

She peeked slightly at him, only to drop her gaze ardently on the floor seeing Khaled watching her with raised brow .

"Did you put me speaker ?".

Emaan groaned inwardly ,how in the world would she explained the devil on the other side that there was absolutely no reason whatsoever to put the speaker on, when her voice was blasting like an orchestra , loud and clear .

"Assalamualaikum bhaijaan ...I mean Dr Khaled !".

"Wale.. walekumassalam!". Khaled replied hesitant, his eyes launching several questions specifically what is going one at Emaan ,who already seem in a mess not knowing how to amble out of this situation without angering Sana and embarassing herself but nothing came to her mind when her mind was too keenly focussed on what Sana's words would blast next .

"I am Sana ! Emaan's best friend and more importantly I have been the one who has been supporting and rooting for you since the very beginning.Believe me ,the first time she talked about you, I had told her you both were made for each other even though all she said was curses ,names and complains about you...". Sana giggled .

Emaan felt her eyes widen and before she could cut the call ,it was meticulously snatched from her hand by Khaled, staring back at her with new found amusement and curiosity .

"She cursed me ?". His eyes was trained on her as he asked Sana who enthusiastically laughed ,

"Curse you ? She had parade of words to honour you !....".
