Zeenath's residence*
She woke up at sound of alarm going off,
It was a morning just like usual one,
A morning with chirping sounds of birds and cycle bell of newspaper boy,
Her morning was just the normal one,
Like it was all a distant dream that has happened,
Her thoughts are interrupted by ringtone of her phone
It was a call from Inayah,
"Oh, good morning Inayah, isn't it too early for call"
"You would never guess what happened last night, I'm so damn happy and freaking out, Zee"
"Eh? Calm down will you? What happened? Did Asad do something?"
"Huh? What are you talking about Zee? Who's Asad?"
Zeenath was a bit shocked to hear that, but it was overwhelmed by what Inayah said next....
"Y..you...You don't know Asad?"
"Eh? Who's that ? I don't know? Keeping that aside, hear this out"
"Uh...yeah..."
"Khaled and I are taking it forward, he asked me to meet his parents, we are planning to get engaged"
Zeenath couldn't believe her what she heard,
Just few days ago they had broken up and went separate ways,
and now an engagement?
She doesn't remember Asad, everything seemed off
Was her memory all a lie,
Or was it Inayah pulling a prank
If not what about all the memories she has
Was it a lie too?
Her mind couldn't trust what's real and what's not,
What's dream and what's reality,
She could hear Inayah talking about the details of how Khaled had asked her about engagement,
details about the ring and the entire event that night,
Was it her memory that played tricks on her or was it inayah who's lying she can't figure it out,
Whatever happened from the past few days,
It all felt like lie, an illusion by spell from a great magician.
Zeenath felt the reality she knew slipping a little,
all it needed was one last push.....
Which came to her, knocking on her room door with tray of breakfast in one hand....
She heard her mom's voice, calling her name....
It had been so long she almost had forgotten that voice...
It was no doubt her mother's voice...
She ran towards door, dropping her phone and everything that was weighing her mind,
She left it behind and ran to open that door,
Hoping even if it's a dream or whatever it was,
She hoped to see her mother, once again.
And when she opened the door,
There she was,
Wearing her blue long dress with pink flower petals of cherry blossom prints and an old apron with stain marks...
