chapter 18

The days Aroob was absent because she got sick and was worried that she had not completed his conversation with Saim. She was often lost in memories of her and Saim and was feeling entangled about her feelings for the first time.

The next Saim was sitting is his class with his friends cheering him but he was not bothered. Sammad told him that Aroob had come today.

Saim: is she okay?

Sammad : yeah she is----

Ali : bro forget her she rejected you

Saim: with a sad face but I can't forget her.

Abdul seeing this atmosphere: hey have you heard that exams are coming?

Ali: with a frown where did you hear this from

Abdul : from vp office .

They started to talk about random things to divert Saim mind Saim saw their efforts and decided to show enthusiasm in conversation.

On the other hand in Aroob class room.

Zoya: why were you absent are you okay

Aroob : I am fine just a little sick

Mia: so did you find that guy.

Aroob: yeah I found him

Zoya : with curiosity on her face who is he

Aroob : he is Saim

Zoya and Mia : whattt in a loud voice.

Aroob : while looking around and apologizing keep the volume down.

Zoya : tell me you accepted his proposal.

Aroob : no I rejected him

Mia : but why.

Aroob told them her conditions.

Mia: you are really loyal wow

Zoya : so you gave back his gifts

Aroob : no I was not able to I will give him tomorrow.

Zoya : but tomorrow is weekend

Aroob : so the day after tomorrow.

Soon the classes started and the bell rang for the break and the trio went to the compound.

They saw Saim sitting under the tree with his friends and Aroob kept stealing glances at him and she noticed his pale expression and thought that it was because of her

On the other hand Saim noticed Aroob stealing glances but was not able to look at her face to see her frown .

Kat looked at all this scene and thought of Aroob and Saim interactions and thought that maybe Aroob also like Saim but was not so sure so remained silent and decided to look into it more.

Aroob arrived at her house and saw that her family discussing something and when they saw her coming they went silent .

Aroob: what's wrong

Family: nothing

She decided to ignore it and the weekend gone by.

Saim's parents were worried about him but he assured them that he is okay and after seeing his cheerfulness they forgot about this.

The Monday came and Saim arrived at uni with is friends.

They saw kat coming with a bag in her hand towards them and with a frown on her face she gave the bag to Saim .

Abdul: what's in this

Kat : these are the gifts that Aroob had ask me to return to Saim.

Saim with sadness on his face: did she say anything.

Kat: well she only told me to say sorry to you for her.

Saim went from there and was thinking that why she rejected him and what was his fault. Did he do something wrong. His friends decided to give him some space.

Soon the professor arrived and started the lecture and asked Saim to come in his office in the break.

Sammad: why did she call you

Saim : no idea

Ali: maybe she wants to give a lecture about not be mind absent in her class.

Saim : maybe just forget it

At the lunch break Saim arrived in the staff room and saw Aroob sitting there. Her professor was telling her not to be mentally absent in the lecture.

Saim: she is looking weak but why did something happen

Saim came to his professor and sat in front of him.

Professor: Saim I asked you to come because I want to discuss something with you.

Saim: yes sir tell me

Professor: some guests are coming to the university tomorrow and we want you to welcome them.

Saim: I don't have any problem but may I ask you why me

Professor: because you are the top of your class and on top of that you are a handsome boy.

Saim: ok no problem what do I have to do

Professor: you have to do nothing but just welcome them and show them the uni and you don't need to worry because you will not be alone.

Saim: means

Professor: a girl will be a long with you and you have to communicate with her to look more professional. Ok

Saim : ok but who is the girl

Aroob's professor came with her and told him that she is your partner.

Aroob and Saim became shocked and were looking at each other with wide eyes. Professor seeing them: do you have any problem

Saim and Aroob : no we don't.

Professor: well that's good both of your lectures will be free for the rest of the day giving them a script this is what you are going to speak. Well now go and practice

Both of them look at each other and went outside of the class room.

After an awkward silence between them.

Saim: ummm I am going to bring my back from the room and will meet in the empty room.

Aroob: ok we will meet after the break.

Saim ran away from there.

Saim went to his friends. Sammad saw his flustered expression.

Sammad: what's wrong did he scold you so bad.

Ali: with a laugh did he ask you to bring your parents tomorrow.

Saim: no nothing like that happened.

Abdul: then what.

Saim told them the story and and his friends were startled.

Saim: I am not going alone you will have to come with me.

Ali: with a thoughtful look maybe this is a God sign that you will become a couple.

Sammad: shut up but I think that you should have a proper conversation with her and not to show that you are uncomfortable with her presence.

Saim: okay

On the other hand Aroob arrived at the classroom and told her friends about her conversation.

Zoya: look Aroob maybe this is a God sign that you should tell him about your conditions .

Mia: I also think so.

Aroob: well I will see if he bring up the topic then I will tell him.

Soon the bell rang and Aroob went from there with her bag.
