A great change

Chapter 30

*Unedited *

I played with the chain which Rehan has gifted me on our wedding night. A tear rolled down my cheeks as I heard the last ring. Why is he not answering my calls? It was yesterday afternoon he texted saying he is busy. It was killing me thinking something would have happened to him.

I never thought five days without him would be so boring and miserable. The only thing I wished for right now is to be in his arms. To get his kiss. Just to be with him. I miss him. I miss him so much.

Though we talked on Skype every day, I miss him. This distance made me see my feelings clearly, those which I was too naive to understand. I am now sure that I love him. Yeah, you heard me right I love Rehan. I love him madly and I'm missing him badly. Hey! It rhymed. Hell, who cares? I can't wait to confess my feelings to him.

I took a glance at the message I sent him a few minutes back. I can see he has read it then Why can't he reply? Doesn't he know I can see it when he reads the message on WhatsApp? Feeling defeated I placed the phone on the bed.

I gazed back at the TV which was on for half an hour but I was not watching it. The song "Jeena Jenna" from the film Badlapur started playing. Even the awesome voice of my favorite- Atif Aslam did not affect me. The only voice I liked to hear is of Rehan. I never knew he had so much effect on me.

My lips break into a smile as my thoughts wandered at our last meeting. The day he left for London.

5 days back

"Can you please pack it?" Rehan asked scratching his neck and giving a cute smile.

"Finally!" I shook my head and placed his clothes in the bag. "All you have to do is ask" he was trying to pack his bag but could not do it with a file in one hand and his mind totally at work. I tried to help but he refused. Now see he gave in.

"Thank you!" He gave me a short peck on my cheek and continued his work. He will be leaving soon still he is working. Isn't he going to London to do this same work?

After packing, I dragged him out for the breakfast. "Aimen, I'll eat something later" he whined like a kid.

"Not gonna happen" I poured the orange juice into his glass whilst Mom placed the paratha on his plate. "Mom! I can't eat this much" he said with the food in his mouth.

"Eat! You will not be here for a week." Mom gave him a smack causing Sidra and me to giggle. Rehan scowled at us.

"Mom it's only a week," Rehan said stuffing the last piece in his mouth. How fast does he eat?

"It's a week. Take care of yourself. Eat on time and look for the halal food..."Mom started but was cut off immediately.

"Sleep well. Don't spoil your health. Call us when you reach there..." Sidra said laughing.

"Laugh. You will understand when you become a mother"

"Someone is getting emotional. I will do as you say. It is not the first time I'm going somewhere" Rehan said hugging her. Dadi gave him a big lecture and all the do's and dont's lists. Then dad had a brief talk about their business. Rehan was acting coolly but I know he will miss them a lot.

"Ya Allah! Stop it. He is going only for a week" Sidra said.

Rehan smacked her head "This is called "love" sissy. Don't get jealous everyone loves me not you" She rolled her eyes.

There was laughter and happiness. Mom was advising her son whilst dadi scolded her son, dad, for sending Rehan to London.

I felt someone grab my wrist. "Come" Rehan whispered. He dragged me to our room. "What?" I said once in.
