Chapter 36

* 12 years back*

Rania's P.O.V

It was Eid, I had sneakingly wrote Zubair's name on my hand. As Eid celebration was always held at my place, I was busy hosting the guest. I was my usual cheerful self until Aayat came in and dragged Zuabair with her. What annoyed me was that this time, Eid was not only Eid, it was also my birthday.

Zubair spent most of his time with Aayat and did not even wish me. Aayat was overly sweet and too childish and this was extremely frustrating.

After lunch was served, I secretly added an extra hot chilli in Aayat's food, to which she started coughing badly. Her parents suggested that they would take her back home, which made me happy. However, my happiness was short-lived as Zubair said that he would be the one accompanying her back home.

"No, you can't go Zubbu...please not today.." I tried convincing him but, he cut me in. " why did you do that?" he asked angrily. "Do what?" I tried to act innocent.
