chapter 17

Saim's friends saw Aroob rushing out of the room with a sad face and they entered the room and saw Saim was standing there and was lost in thoughts.

Ali in whispering voice: what happened?

No one responded to him and they walked in front of Saim.

Sammad: what's wrong bro?

Saim:....

Abdul: Saim what happened?

Saim got back to his senses: she rejected me.

Ali: why??

Saim: I don't know why? Let's go back.

Ali: but--------

Sammad interrupting: ok let's go

Saim made a gesture of silence to boys and left with Saim.

They went home. Saim went to his room without greeting his parents. His parents were astonished to see his sad face.

Adam: what happened to him?

Mina while getting up from the couch: I don't know but I should ask him.

Mina went to Saim room and knocked on the door and and came in the room when Saim gave permission.

Mina saw that Saim was laying on the bed and sat beside him.

Mina: something's wrong?

Saim: no mom everything is perfect 🥺.

Mina: I am your mother you can tell me anything mm.

Saim: I know that I just need some alone time.

Mina: ok but you should eat the dinner.

Mina left the room after saying that and went downstairs to beside Adam.

Mina: I don't know he was super excited today.

Flashback to morning

Saim was extra excited for today and Mina saw that he was extra dressed today.

Mina: what is today that made you so happy.

Saim: mom today is a big day for me.

Mina: your exam is not today. So?

Saim: just pray that I get what I want.

Mina: my prayers are all with you.

Saim ate his lunch with Mina and went to university.

Present time

Mina: I think it is about a girl.

Adam: and why do you think like that?

Mina: because I have a gut feeling.

Adam: hmmm? I am sure it is nothing like that ok.

Mina: I should go and ask him.

Adam: no you should give him sometime.

Mina was looking sad and worried for Saim and Adam was consoling her.

Mina ask the butler to call Saim for dinner.

Saim came downstairs and sat in front of his mother. Mina put some food in his plate but he just kept staring at the phone engrossed in his thoughts and Mina asked him to eat and he got up with that he was hungry and went back to his room. Mina and Adam saw this and got worried but decided to wait for Saim to tell them.

The next day Sammad arrived at his house to take him to university and was shocked 😲 to see his condition.

Sammad: Saim ---------

Saim: please Sam I am not in the mood to talk right now.

Sammad decided to remain silent. They went to university and Saim looked for Aroob's figure but did not saw her.

Abdul: the person you are looking for has not come to university today.

Today Aroob had not come because she had a fever and was not able to come to university.

Saim: why?

Abdul: don't know Kat just told me she took a leave.

Saim:mmmm

Ali: why are you worried she rejected you so forgot her.

Saim heard this and went from there and Sammad gave a slap on Ali's head and went after him.

Sammad: don't pay attention to Ali's words. He doesn't know what to speak.

Saim: but he is right she rejected me.

Sammad: she might have reason.

Saim: what reason is for this. Forget it I don't want to talk.

They went back to class. The next day Aroob still did not arrived to university and Saim condition was getting worse. Mina saw that. Today two guests had arrived at her house. Today his friends had taken him outside to cheer him and recover from his heartbreak.

At this moment Saim arrived and greeted them.

Aima: you know my daughter she is in your class.

Saim: oh she is. I am sorry but I didn't know.

Aina: mom she doesn't pay attention to any girl in the class.

Mina: my son is like that he doesn't pay any attention to any girl. I don't know how will he get a wife and treat her.

Aima: that's great. Maybe you talk with each other.

Saim was tired and wanted to rest and Mina saw that.

Mina: but first let's eat dinner.

Aima: sure

The whole time at the dining table Aina was trying to strike a conversation with Saim but he only gave one word answer. Aina tried to get his number but Saim made up some reasons to not give it to her.

Saim didn't ate his dinner. The guests went back and Saim went to his room. Adam returned from the company and Mina told him that she had decided to confront him but Adam held her back to give him sometime.

Mina: he is not eating anything 😞.

Adam: he is boy in his youth he needs some personal space and we should give him that.
