After a few days, I became normal. Whenever he saw me, he ignored me... so did I.
Jessie and Kyle apologized to me and I forgave them. I just didn't want to keep grudges against anyone.
I got detention again cuz I was late. I was bending on my books when a voice interrupted me.
"Hey" it was Shuzaat, I gave him a weak smile.
"Detention....?" He laughed.
"I was late..." I made a frown face.
"Eh.. and I was using the phone in the classroom " he laughed.
We settled down on our seats and chit chat a little.
"Uhmm" he cleared his throat.
"Huh " I raised my eyebrows to him.
"Uh...uhmm... I was thinking... can we go somewhere.... like on a coffee...or.. lunch" he said rubbing his temple nervously.
He was asking for a date...
"Umm...eh..." I didn't know how to tell him that I couldn't make this...
"Hey I know... you're religious...and this is wrong for you but I'm not asking in that way...I mean we can go out like friends " he said nervously.
Thank God
"Yeah... sure " I smiled.
"After school..?" He asked me.
"Eh..okay.."
We got in his car. He stopped the car in front of a small but nice restaurant. We got our seats and we ordered coffee and some snacks. We started talking about studies, hobbies, and careers. He was really a nice guy... a dreamy guy, a perfect guy... I was laughing heartily. I just got a nice friend.
My phone buzzed, it was a text from Jessie...
Jessie: where are you Ana, you reached home..?
Me: Naah...actually...
Jessie: Are you okay...God...where are you...
Me: Hey...I'm fine...I'm just on a coffee with Shuzaat...he'll drop me.
Jessie: Oh my God... you are on a date... you didn't tell us...bitch...
Me: It was nothing like this...
Jessie: I'll cya tomorrow bitch...enjoy...
Seriously...this girl was just...
I put my phone back in my pocket. After spending some beautiful hours with Shuzaat, I was feeling better. We headed towards his car.
Daniel's POV
"LMAO, your cousin is dating some hot guy but she looks so naive like a five yo kid" Jace chuckled.
"What the fuck... which cousin..?" I asked annoyingly.
"Anabia Waqar...look I got her pictures with this guy Shuzaat Khan. They look like a real couple " Jace sent me pictures of Anabia. She was in a fancy restaurant with the same guy.
"It's her life... why the fuck you are taking an interest " I scowled but deep inside I was frowning. I didn't know what type of feeling it was...but I just hate that guy...
Lol...why...??
Cuz he is flirting with my wife...
My wife ..?? Wow... your wife... and what about your hot pretty girlfriend..?? Why do you even care about her so much..?
"Okay bro, Joe is calling me. I've to go"Â Jace bid goodbye to me. I was about to close the door when the same red car stopped in front of my house Anabia climbed off from the car smiling and waving to him.
I clenched my fist, I was thinking she was naive and innocent and here she was dating a guy...
Anabia's POV
"Ana, please cook something for me, please " Hadi pouted.
"What do you want...I'll cook for the dinner," I said pinching his soft pink cheeks.
"Umm...please cook any Indian dish for us" Sarah exclaimed like a little kid.
"Like what" I was not a great cook. Bua just taught me some simple dishes and I wasn't sure that they would like it or not.
"Do you know how to make biryani?" Sarah wiggled her eyebrows
"One of my friends told me about this.. but she was Pakistani...umm"
"Well, I can cook biryani.. lemme try it!" I smiled at them.
"So you are making biryani" Sarah clapped her hand.
She even didn't know about Biryani... What if she won't like Biryani... but she was exclaiming like a kid.
Honestly, I never cooked Biryani. It was my favorite dish but I was too young to cook. Though I knew the recipe.
I started preparing Biryani. (Those who don't know about Biryani, it's a nonveg dish made from meat and rice and it is the most famous dish of India and Pakistan.)
It took me two hours to prepare Biryani but finally, it was ready. I set the table with Mia and Jenny and called everyone.
"Wow Biryani...I can't believe this.. who made this?" Uncle Afzal asked as he saw the dinner.
"Our one and only Ana" Sarah giggled and I just smiled.
"Thank you, Ana, it's delicious .. mhmm," Hadi said as he put the first spoon of Biryani.
"Woah, you are a great cook. I never knew " Maria also complimented me.
"Mhmm... I can eat the whole of it" Sarah added.
Then Daniel came to the table, everyone looked at him.
"What the crap is this... where is the proper food" Daniel groaned.
"This is an Indian dish. Ana cooked for us. Taste it...this is delicious " Hadi said to Daniel chewing his food.
He took the first spoon. My heart was pounding that how would he react.
"Wtf... this is tasteless... who put so many spices " Daniel put the spoon back to the plate. My jaws dropped, why I was upset?
"But Daniel, this is perfect... it's not spicy... even Hadi can eat it" Sarah scoffed.
"Shut up... don't tell me what should I eat" he groaned and left the dining hall. I sighed and unwillingly did my dinner.
Why I was caring about this? Why did I want to hear something good from him?
Daniel's POV
I slammed the door of my room and laid on my bed.
Why the fuck she cooked. I just wanted to get rid of her thoughts but I guess there was no end.
I reacted in that way cuz I just wanted to hurt her...Why ... I'm insane
I was hungry and it was almost midnight and I couldn't order anything. Honestly, I was craving for the crap... its heaven taste was still on my taste bud.
Should I go or not??
I guess everyone was asleep...
I can sneak from my room and eat...
I made my way towards the kitchen. Everyone was in their bedroom. It was a golden chance for me. My nostrils filled with the aroma of the delicious food.
I put a large spoon of the food in my mouth.
Mhmmmm... this girl has some magic.
I didn't realize that I ate two plates of that dish. I put my last spoon in my mouth and turned around.
My gaze traveled to the door.
Fuck...
Anabia was standing there...crossing her arms on her chest. She was staring at me with her wide eyes and a small smile was playing on her lips which she was trying to hide.
I bet my face was priceless. I was too embarrassed to face her. I ignored her and ran to my room.
I sighed...She just caught me... What was she thinking about me..? That I'm bipolar...? I'm dramatic...? I loved her cooking...? Shit...Shit...Shit...
I facepalmed myself as it was the matter of my ego... my fucking ego. This stupid tummy just ruined everything. I started cursing myself.
