34. Aanaye's embarrassing moments

Aanaye pressed the ground floor button of the lift. The lift stopped and she got out of it. She walked straight and then turned left to the dining hall of the hotel. There table was right infront of the window, far from the entrance door of the dining hall but not that much distant. Aanaye entered the door and in the mirror that was right infront, she saw that man's reflection.

What? He is sitting with my family? Why? How it could happen? asked Aanaye from herself."

In the meantime, Zabi caught her behind.

"Hey Aanaye, Is everything okay with you?" He asked Aanaye who was standing in the middle of door.

"Yeah, everything's fine, Aanaye replied with a smile."

"Then? Are you finding something again? Zabi asked in a serious note."

"Aahhmmm ... no not at all, replied Aanaye."

"Then why are you stopped here? asked Zabi."

"Aumm ... my sandal was hurting that is why, Aanaye thought of a quick excuse proudly."

"But you are wearing shoes, Zabi told her while looking at her feet."

"Aahh ... I meant shoes. But they are fine now. I have settle the issue. Replied the confused and embarrassed girl."

"Okay, then let's move forward to the table. The dinner will be soon served. Zabi informed her."

"Oh yes, I am hungry. Aanaye moved forward while replying him."

Internally Aanaye knew the blunder she made. She blamed an unknown man of robbery. And even donot let the man to speak in defence.

Both Aanaye and Zabi reached the table where their families were sitting and talking.

"Mrs Shaiqa asked Aanye, Did you get your phone? "

"She didn't talk much and nodded her head in a reply."

"Where were you? asked Feeha."

"Why did you get late Apla? asked Keeha."

Aanaye was trying to answer their question when Aunt Anita called out Aanaye's name loudly.

"Aanaye, said Mrs Anita, meet my nephew Raem. He has just joined us when you were not here. He with Zabi spend their winter vacations holiday here in Kashan city. Both are cousins and best friends."

When Mrs Anita was introducing the boy, Aanaye eas not even looking at him, not even once she looked him, inspite of Mrs Anita's pointing fingers.

"Aanaye said, Hey, while looking down and moving her chair forward towards table. She acted to avoid the eye contact."

"They have both met upstairs, said Zabi."

"Yeah, we had an interesting meeting, that will always be remembered, added Raem."

Raem was just sitting next to Zabi infront of Aanaye. And Aanaye was sitting between her two sisters. Who were now looking at her with questioning eyes.

"Oh really, where did you guys meet? asked Mrs Anita surprisingly."

"Upstairs ... While I was finding my cell phone. I misjudged him Aanaye replied frequently. "

Mrs Shaiqa looked at her daughter with a question mark and asked,

"Misjudged? Aanaye what did you misjudge?"

Aanaye with helpful eyes looked at Zabi. Zabi guessed that what Aanaye wanted from him.

"Nothing Aunt Shaiqa. They got their phone exchanged for a minute. The issue got sort out. Zabi replied her."

Raem replied with yes while looking at Aanaye with hidden smile on his lips.

In the meanwhile, the dinner was served and Aanaye took a sigh of relief but Raem's smile was irritating the girl at annoying extent.

"Apla? why did you misjudged this sober man? He is too cute and handsome. Asked Keeha in a whispering tone while looking at him, who smiled her back."

"Because his smile was annoying replied irritant Aanaye."

Aanaye padded her Keeha's lap underneath the table.

Raem was looking at Aanaye and was trying to fool her. Aanaye knew that he was looking her continuously to annoy her.

"Aanaye please if you don't mind, pass me that curry bowl. Raem asked the girl."

Aanaye passed the bowl of curry with looking at him. Aanaye moved her hand forward to grab the water bottle. Suddenly Raem forwarded his hand and grabbed the bottle. He poured the glass with water and offered Aanaye. As Mrs Anita was looking at her so she took it from Raem.

Raem was continuously making such efforts to make Aanaye look at her.

"Apla, he likes you I guess, whispered Keeha at Aanaye 's ear."

"He is trying to take revenge, unconsciously Aanaye muttered that was heard by Keeha."

"Revenge? what kind of? asked Keeha."

"Ssshhh ... nothing be quiet. We will talk about this in the room later, replied Aanaye making her sister be quiet."

Aanaye wanted the meal time to get over soon. But it took long than her expectations.

After the meal, coffee time started and Zabi asked Feeha, Keeha , Ibraheem and Aanaye to have a walk to the corridor near window.

Raem was along too.

"What you do Miss Keeha? asked Raem."

"I am a business student, Keeha replied."

"That is cool young lady. I have my graduation degree in business also. You can ask for any kind of help from me." Raem told Keeha.

"Sure, Keeha replied."

"Ibraheem what you do? Raem questioned the young boy. "

"I am 7th standard student and I love photography. He replied."

"Wow, great talent." Raem encouraged the boy.

And Miss Aanaye? He further asked.

"She is a teacher, replied Keeha frequently."

And with a smile Aanaye just nodded her head.

"She might be rude and harsh teacher then. I have judged it from her face. He replied and laughed."

"Funny joke." Replied Aanaye.

"It is not a joke. It is truth." Raem said.

"Don't tease her. That was misunderstanding bro .. said Zabi to Raem."

"Yes, what was that misunderstanding Aanaye?"

Feeha asked her sister.

"Nothing much Feeha, Aanaye replied."

"It was much Ma'm Aanaye replied Raem then while looking at Feeha Raem said and she even didn't say me sorry."

Aanaye said,"Okay, It was a mistake. I didn't enter your floor or room by my wish. All floors and rooms were of same style so just got confused ... and and ..."

"and? interrupted Raem"

"And entered Mr Raem's room unknowingly and accused him of theft, Aanaye completed her sentence while looking at her sisters."

"Yes, and she accused me of stealing her new maxi that she bought on Friday for this trip, said Raem."

Raem laughed out loud while saying so.

"I am sorry. Fine? Mr Raem, are you happy now? Said Aanaye."

"No ... say me sorry politely Ma'm, said Raem to annoy her more."

"Sorry Aanaye, he has accepted your apology. He is just teasing you. Ignore him, said Zabi."

Everynody was looking at them both.

" I think we should leave now Zabi. It is quite late, Feeha took a leave from Zabi."

"Okay sure. See you in the morning Dear."

Zabi replied her.

The siblings took a farewell and went to the table where both mothers were sitting.

They all got apart to their rooms.

"Mommy you know what Apla Aanaye accused Mr Raem for stealing her maxi, Ibrahim told his Mom."

Mom asked her daughter if she did.

"It was mistake mom. All rooms were similar and I entered his room. On finding nothing in my room I blamed him and also I have apologised him now, replied Aanaye."

"And he didn't accept her apology, added Keeha."

"Aanaye tried to stop her but she told her mom.

It is really bad Aanaye. For thousand times I asked you not to react quickly. You always get embarrassed of this habit of yours. Zabi will tell his mom. What ahe will think of you now, replied mom with worry."

Don't worry about him Mom, he managed the situation even on the table.

"He won't exaggerate it infront of her mom. Even Mrs Anita is not that kind of narrow minded lady, said Feeha in order to relax her mom."

"Yes, Mom said Keeha."

Both sisters were laughing at their sister's stupidity.
