I woke up with my phone ringing and it was none other then Maira, she was video calling me and she had so many questions to answer too. Oh! she is so dead!.
I picked up her call and bombarded her with questions!
"Hey the Noor of my life......how are you and how was your day?", she asked me with her charming smile.
I just continued to glare at her.
"Hey what's wrong? Did something happen? Did someone say anything to you?", she asked genuinely looking concerned.
"Oh don't act like you know nothing about the people for whom I am going to work for!", I half screamed at her and her facial expression changed in no time.
"It was Jacob right? What did he say? That man is insane! Do not think too much about him......I know what he told you........ I mean I know that he warned and also called me a liar .........but please Laila relax it is nothing as it seems, trust me I'll tell you everything when the time is right I promise but just for the start I want to tell you that I have lied to about something about myself so please forgive me and I am also sorry about what you had to go through today because of me.", she said with extreme guilt in her voice I couldn't help but forgive her.
"I love you so much my drama girl....fine it's ok that you lied to me earlier I don't know about what but from now onwards no lying, alright?", I told her lovingly.
"I promise!", she said while pinching her throat.
"Alright now go to sleep I have to make dinner and do all the preparations for tomorrow, I don't want to give that arrogant man a chance to tell me anything at all.", I told her.
"Laila my love it's morning here......hahahaha....I just woke up and decided to call you.....hahahhahha", she said while clutching her stomach and laughing like a maniac.
I felt like an idiot and gave her a lame look and cut the call.
I immediately stood up to start making dinner......I first decided to gather all the ingredients to make mutton pulao but realised I had nothing at home as I forgot to pick groceries on my way home because of the stupid arrogant man Jacob.
I just wrapped my hijab loosely and took my wallet phone and keys and decided to buy it all for a month now itself.
I reached there in not time.....I pulled out a cart for myself before going in I had already made a list of what all and how much a wanted for 2 months. I started filling my cart while listening to all the voice recordings that Malik had once sent me. He always made me laugh with his silly stupid jokes and today also while listening to it while I was shopping just made my heart happy......I wanted to be angry with him for hiding who he was but I couldn't be angry with him I felt lonely without him. I was lost in buying things and listening to Malik's voice that I banged into someone.
That's hard I said as I rubbed my forehead.
"I am sorr....", I was saying sorry but stopped as soon as I saw who it was. HIM again....!!
"What are you doing here?! Are you following me?! Mr. Oh so arrogant Jacob", I told him with all the anger and frustration I had in me.
And once again he dared to touch me! He held my arms and pulled me closer to him as I collided with his hard chest.
" What are you doing?! I have warned you before to keep your hands to yourself and not touch me!", I screamed at him.
He looked around and then dragged me to a corner and looked angrily into my eyes .....his stare was so sharp that he could pierce into my soul.
"Listen to me carefully now Miss. Noor you are no celebrity or anyone important to me or anyone who I want to kill at least now so I have no interest in following a liar like you who can't stand her identity that she needs to change it.", he said with his words full of sarcasm and anger.
"Why do you feel that I've changed my identity? Only because I know Maira? I haven't changed my identity at all Mr. Wilson I have no reason to do so....I've know Maira since years she and I are best friends, I don't why she never mentioned about you at all when she was here.... she used to share everything with me. I have no reason to change my identity I am who I am Miss. Nood Ali Ahmed....I just couldn't find a good job there and I needed a job really bad....so she helped me out.", I told him calmly making sure he believes the lie I just told him....I had to lie I did not want anyone else to now ruin what I had. I still had my earphone plugged in and I could still hear Malik's voice and it told me to calm down everything happens for a reason.
I still remember that day when he sent me this he always calms me down. I smiled at that thought.
"Back to reality Miss. Dream girl.....I am sorry that I misunderstood you but coming by the reference of someone like Maira ....or should I say Izza huh! She lied to me about her whole existence...I...",he told me whiled he calmed down but I cut him in between to te tell him to leave me as I was uncomfortable with any non mahram touching me and being so close to me.
" Umm I am really sorry to interrupt, I would be glad to hear about her and also you but I am not just not comfortable with you touching me and being so close to me so please leave me and we could continue your story while having coffee?", I told me wiggling under his hold.
"Oh! I'am sorry!", he said and he left my arms.
"Lets complete what were shopping and then we can go to the Starbucks across the street and talk.", I smiled and told him.
He smiled back warmly....and nodded yes....I couldn't help but admire his features his smile was so toxic and his eyes sparkled with hope as if he wanted someone to hear him out, hear his story.....or his side of the story.
I smiled and we completed a grocery shopping I kept min in the back of my car and he kept his in the back of his car he mostly bought packs of beer.
We sat there I ordered mine and he ordered his we
sat there and I raised my eyebrow and he started telling me about Maira/Izza.....can't believe it she hid her real name from me too!
He started speaking.... "So it all started the day when she came here for the job.....just like you....."
