Chapter No 18
“Thank God Sabeen you picked my call” Almost after two days Salaar finally able to contact her
“I’m sorry. I was caught up by some issues” Sabeen felt bad for not being able to talk to him
“Is everything fine? you sounds down”
“Yeah all good” She tried to keep her voice fresh
“So let’s meet today” No matter how much she want or need to see him, she couldn’t say yes
“Salaar if you don’t mind, it’s better if we don’t see each other for a few days”
Salaar was now quite sure that something happened and it is related to him maybe
“Are you avoiding me?”
She lightly chuckled, “Why would I? Listen Doctor Salaar if you’re a busy person, I’m also not a free bird”
Salaar smiled at this, “Ok so what’s keeping you busy?”
“Actually Baba asked me to handle the restaurant work also” She added which surprised Salaar
“Don’t tell me you own a restaurant now?” Sabeen now couldn’t control her laugh
“Of course I do”
“Ok so how many hotels, restaurants and cafe you own?” He asked jokingly
“Two here in Islamabad and two in Lahore” but she replied seriously
“Ok Madam but at least one meeting” he insisted again and she couldn’t deny him this time
“Ok fine”

Anabia was again avoiding him. She even didn’t show her face for two days. Maier was feeling restless now. He has to see her.
He was buttoning his shirt when his hand stilled as a thought struck him. He pulled off the button and dropped it on the floor
“Anabia” No sign of her
“ANABIA”
The countdown; five, four, three, two ….
“Jee (What)?” There she is, panting
“Fix this button, I’m getting late so hurry up” he said sternly
“Ok give me the shirt I ….” She forward her hand still looking down
“I don’t have time to change, do it fast”
She doesn't want to argue with him so taking the thread and needle she stood in front of him.
“Button?” with her eyes downcast, she was slipping into his heart
“Uhh I think it’s dropped to the floor” he was losing his control once again
Anabia knelt down and take button from near his shoes
With trembling hands, she held his shirt still keeping some distance. Placing the button, she started sewing but her heart beat gets faster as she felt his left hand encircled around her waist. He pulled her closer while his right hand came to her hairs undoing her braid
“You should keep your hair open, looks good on you”
“YA ALLAH what is he up to now?” his mood swings always frighten her
“You’re running away from me again?” his tone dangerous
She just shook her head. His closeness was making her nervous
