"Harib btao mae kaisi lag rhi hon?" I asked smiling meaningfully

Assignment hai toh mae Kia kron. Mene thori kaha tha latkane ko

"Achi lag rhi ho" he said without even looking at me. Seriously?

"Tumne toh dekha hi nai. Huhn" I said and turned to the mirror

"Han.. Han achi lag rhi ho" as I turned my face he looked up and said

"Harib ab toh mera Moo hi dosri taraf tha. Had hai"

Hina laughed

"Kyoun tang kr rhi ho bichare ko. Mae btata hon tumhari shakal ek celebrity se mil rhi hai qasme" Jerry added

"Sachi? Kis se?" I asked happily. He got up and came closed to me

"Shinchan ki ammi si" he added in a very low voice and ran outside laughing. I gasped. Hina also bursted into fits of laughter

"Btati hon tumhe mae. Khud ho k uske Abba" I shouted and ran after him

"Oh mtlb tum mujhe indirectly propose kr rhi ho. Tum shinchan ki amma or mae uska Abba? He said laughing

"Mae tumhe indirectly murder ki dhamki de rhi ho" saying this I threw my clutch at him but he dodged and ran away laughing.

Amna's POV

I was standing outside the staff room with utter contempt. I was hugging my book, placing my one foot on the wall behind me. My back was also touching that wall. I looked at my wrist watch as I was waiting for my project partner Greg ..

We had been given a project 3 weeks ago. I started it with Greg but then I got into the accident and had to take rest. Greg completed the remaining half project all of his own. I couldn't recheck it as the deadline was over and Greg submitted it. So I was hell worried about the results.

Ma'am had announced the results in the class but as I wasn't present (bcz of the accident), she didn't tell our marks in class. Now I was there to ask for our results.

Few seconds passed and I saw Greg coming towards me with his usual smile.

"Thanks for waiting." Greg said and I nodded

It was his way of saying 'sorry I'm late'

"Greg you go and asked the result. If we got good grades then tell me otherwise.... " I stopped as I didn't know what to say next

"Otherwise?.." he asked smiling as he knew I had nothing to say next l.

"Otherwise don't tell me. Now go" I said the lamest thing with quite confidence.

"Come on Amnah (amna) good or bad you have to know. Come on." He said while gesturing his hand like he was patting my shoulder without touching it.

I have met two types of non Muslim. One who look at Muslims doubtfully. Others who treat Muslim like normal people and respect our religion and limitations. And Greg was from 2nd category. We worked together but he always stayed in limit and respect me.

My face was hung down and we entered inside the staff room, met out Ma'am and asked for our project. She smiled and I was damn happy to know that we got excellent grades.

"That's great Greg. It really asks for a treat. Come on, lunch from my side. " I said when we came out of the office. My mood had completed changed.
