"I now announce the engagement of my son and to-be-daughter in law, Yumna!" Mr. Chatti said.
I took a deep breath and opened my eyes to see who was my fiancè and when I saw the man standing in front of dressed in suit with a ring on his hand, I was...
"Yes grandma, I am good," I said in the phone as I began to walk towards the cafeteria. "How are you, grandma?"
"I am doing well, sweetie," grandma said in the phone. "Actually, um . . ."
I heard some female laughing voice coming out from another room.
I was confused. The voice was unfamiliar.
I have never heard that voice in the house before. Uncle never brought any woman home then who was that woman?
"Grandma, who is that woman?" I asked in the phone.
Grandma seamed like panicking. Her voice sounded feared. "Sweetie, I will talk to you later," grandma said.
"But grandma-"
"Bye honey," she said as she hung up the phone.
I sighed. I was in contact with grandma in weekly bases but she never mentioned anything about uncle. I hoped she was alright.
As I kept in walking towards the cafeteria, suddenly I felt a hand wrapping around my back. I gasped in surprise but relax when I felt a familiar warmth near my body.
"Relax, it's just me," I heard Omar's warm voice.
My cheeks flushed as I looked at Omar who was standing by my side, smiling. His sweater hugged his body nicely. His sleeves rolled a little high on his arm, exposing his arms. His hair was a little messy tugging on his hair, making him look like a model ripped out of a magazine cover.
My heart raced as I watch his dimples moving and watch how his smile reached till his eyes.
"O-o-mar," I shuttered.
Darn it!
Ever since I realized I was falling for Omar, I couldn't even talk properly to him.
"Yes, Miss. Its me, O-o-mar," he laughed.
My cheeks flushed more as I watched him, laughing. I noticed the whole hallway looking at us in shock.
Some girls mouth dropped open while other girls were looking at me like I was their enemy.
See! That's why I didn't like seeing Omar at school because he catched a lot of attention.
Omar seemed to notice it and looked at me and say, "Let's go to cafeteria."
I nodded and then shockingly, he held onto my hand and then dragged me towards the cafeteria.
We went to the cafeteria and noticed Emily seating on her seat and waving her hands at us. We near towards her and sat across her.
She smirked and looked at me with a grin.
"Oh wow! So now you are holding hands with Omar, eh?" She smirked.
I looked down blushing a little. Omar ignored her as she giggled.
"Come on, time to eat lunch," Omar said.
"Lunch, huh?" Emily giggled. "You never had lunch with me before then why all of a sudden you stayed over for lunch, huh?"
Omar frowned. "That's none of your business."
She laughed harder. "Oh I get it! Omar is getting drunk in Yumna's love," she winked at me.
"Shut up, Emily!" Omar and I both yelled.
I blushed harder harder as I realized we both said it at the same time and then without saying anything, I grabbed my lunch box from my bag and opened it and began to eat it.
Suddenly, my phone beeped.
I unlock my phone and opened the message and noticed the message from the same unknown number.
I read the message and was shocked.
