Better or Worse?

Amna's Pov (continued)


What shall I wear.... I thought to myself as I went through my clothes in my closet. I chose a light pink colored churidaar. It was one of my favorites. I went on to do my makeup, kept it simple though. I then loosely curled the bottom of my hair, and backcombed my bangs and pinned them up so they looked puffy.


I wore silver hoop earings, and four silver bangles in my right hand, and then went downstairs to watch some TV, until they arrived.


Shehry's POV:


"We're here", Maha exclaimed, as dad parked the car on the driveway. I wouldn't have come here, if it wasn't for mom. She told me it wouldn't look good if I decided to ditch the dawat.


I stepped down from my car, WOW, it was a beautiful house indeed.


We walked up to the front door, and rang the bell.


Umer opened the door, "Assalamalaikum"


"Walaikum Assalaam" we all replied, and then walked in.


Umer led us to the living room, and told us to sit, and then went on to call his parents. We sat down, and I pulled out my phone, and started going through all the inbox messages that I got on facebook, from so many fans from around the world.


"Asif Bhai", Uncle came in and dad got up and hugged him. Hussain then did his Salaam shaking hands with him, and so did I.


On the other hand, Aunty and Mom hugged each other.


Soon, the adults got busy talking, and Hussain was showing Umer something on his phone I chose to just sit quietly, replying to some of the messages on facebook, cause I wasn't really in the mood to do anything else.


I was so busy replying, that I almost totally forgot that I hadn't seen Amna yet. I wanted to ask Umer where she was, but then it didn't seem appropriate, and moreover, I decided no to ask her because it didn't bother me much anyways. Or did it?


Right then, "As Salam Alai Kum", Amna entered. Everyone replied, including me, and Hussain just looked at me, before continuing back with Umer. Yup he knew I was uncomfortable.


Amna walked over to Maha, and sat next to her. She looked so pretty in the pink churidar, and her curles bounced up and down as she walked. I kept staring at her, unintentionally. She looked up at me, and I quickly turned my eyes towards my phone, to avoid her gaze.


"Shehry, lets go...", said Umer.


"Where?", I asked confused.


"Isliye bolta hoon, phone pe itna busy na raha kar...we've decided to go up to his room..ab chal", said Hussain with a slight smirk on his face.


We went up to his room, and as usual, Hussain started his SRK dialogues, and Umer decided to film him, which gave them a new idea for a video, and they got busy.


I heard someone come up the stairs, and slowly peeped through the gap of the door, and I saw Amna, with Maha, walking towards her room.


I noticed that the boys were too busy filming, so I took advantage of the situation and slowly walked out through the door, and walked towards her room.


I slowly opened the door, and saw that Amna and Maha were busy playing 'Princess'. Yes Maha loved playing princess.


"Maha, 'Sain aap ko bula rahe hain." I said walking into her room. I noticed Amna looking away, as soon as she saw me.


Maha cheerfully got up and ran out.


Okay! Awkward!


Amna's POV:


Okay. Why is he still in my room?


He slowly walked towards me, as I turned around and looked out of the window.


"Amna", he said, but I did not move.


I could feel him walking closer to me, and my heart beats went high. I could smell his fragrance as he approached. Within the next few moments, I felt a hand on my shoulder, turning me around.


It was him. He grabbed me by my hands, and walked me over to my bed.


What the hell is he doing?


"SHE-HR", I tried speaking but he quickly placed his finger on my lips. "Sshh...fikar na karo. I'm not gonna do anything", he said making me sit on the bed.


"Amna...I wanna talk to you.", he sat next to me, but with a little gap between us. He took my hand into his hands, and I could feel my cheeks go red as his warm hands enveloped mine. He raised my chin with his other hand, and looked directly into my eyes.


"Amna, I know what you think about me, but I cant stay calm until I have this thing cleared out with you." He said, and I could see his eyes tear up.


"Trust me, I didn't kiss Kate! I only love you Amna, only you!", he continued, "Amna, I know you probably hate me, but trust me I never meant to hurt you, and I never will. I love you Amna! I really do. Please forgive me?"


"Shehry...I don't know what to say." I honestly didn't.


"Kuch toh kaho Amna! Say anything.", he said, still holding my hand.


I slowly lowered my gaze towards our hands, and he realizing it, quickly let go.


"Shehry, I need some time.", I said getting up, but couldn't walk any further, cause he held my hand again.


I turned around, and he got up, "Amna, I understand. Take your time, but just remember one thing, I love you. I love you very, very much."


He let go of my hand, and walked towards the door, but stopped and turned around, "And please keep smiling.", he said with a slight smile, but teary eyes, and walked out.


Shehry's POV:


I walked out of the door, only to see Hussain walking towards me.


"Hussain woh...", and before I completed he said, "Yaar, I know you sent Maha out on purpose. Bhai hoom tera! Don't worry she's busy playing games with Umer.", he assured. "Tune Amna se baat ki?"


"Yeah... Imma go down now...I'll talk to you at home...", I told him and walked down the stairs, and Hussain went back to Umer's room.


I went down, and then Aunty called all everyone else down too for food. We all went to the dining room, and I saw so many different dishes on the table.


We all sat, and aunty passed me the bowl with chicken ka salan, "Beta yeh lein. Amna ne banaya hai"


I glanced at Amna, as I took the bowl. She smiled.


SHE SMILED. SHE FINALLY SMILED. OH MY GOD.


I smiled back, and started eating. The food was very tasty, and the rest of the evening passed by fairly quickly, and although me and Amna didn't talk, our eyes met a few times, and we both smiled everytime. Before I even realized, it was time for us to leave.


On our way back, Hussain and Maha had fallen sleep, with Maha's head on Hussain's lap, Hussain's head on my shoulder, and my head rested on the window. I had my headphones in my ears, and the song Manwa Lage played and I was instantly reminded of Amna.


I think that things are going to get better between us now.


I pulled out my phone from my pocket and texted her...


Me: Hey Amna, it was a good evening today. I'm glad things have sorted out between us. Oh, and the food was very good.


Amna: Yeah... I'm glad too.


Me: Are you coming to school tomorrow?


Amna: Yeah I am.


Thankgod.


I didn't reply after that and turned off the screen of my phone, and closed my eyes, while my head was still resting on the window, and I started to think about what happened today.


Before I knew, we had reached. I woke up Hussain and Maha, and we all just went in. Hussain and Maha went into their respective rooms and slept.


As I was about to go to mine, "Beta Shehry, ek minute idhar aao", my dad stopped me.


I hesitantly walked into their room, cause I knew, when dad called me it meant it was something important.


"Beta we have something important to talk to you about... do you know why we went to Abrar's house today?"


Okay...why is he asking me this.


"Umm...app dono ke partners banne ki khushi mein?", I asked raising my eyebrow. Well that's what I thought the reason was, honestly.


"Umm.. who bhi ek reason hai, but the actual reason is something else.", my mom interrupted, while she removed her makeup, looking at the mirror.


"You guys....are scaring me...", I said with a pause.


"Dekho, abhi tum college mein ho, I know this might be a bit too early, lekin...we have decided to get you and Amna engaged.", he said placing his hands on my shoulders.

Okay, so was this chapter interesting? Amna needs some time while the adults have already decided to get them engaged. Do you think she will be happy with this decision? Will Shehry be happy with this decision?
