Episode 9

Next day, Jannat noticed the curious eyes of her teachers, but she couldn't understand the reason behind them. She was thankful that they were talking nicely to her.

Jannat was heading towards the parking lot when she saw Areej standing near the ground. She was looking towards the ground with a very soft expression. Jannat went close to her.

"Is everything okay, di? Why are you standing here alone? "Jannat asked.

"Why is he so cold? Why doesn't he care about my feelings? “Areej said looking ahead. She was feeling sad, it had been days she had talked to Zaroon, he had bruised her ego really badly the last time they talked.

"Who? "Jannat asked still loo king confused.

"Look towards the ground, who do you think is handsome enough to hold your di’s attention? "Areej asked with a smile and then turned towards Jannat, “The guy with number 7, Zaroon Ali Shah.” she explained.

Jannat got shocked, seeing that the guy was none other than the senior, who consoled her yesterday. Areej continued, "I don't know why am I so attracted towards him? He insulted me, never cares about anyone's feelings. " she said but then started laughing herself.

"I am asking stupid questions. His all this rude behaviour only makes him more desirable. "Areej said. "Let’s go home together today. "she said and Jannat nodded. She was confused by Areej’s words, rude? Cold? But the Zaroon she had met was nothing like that, he cared for her, even though he didn't even know her.

In the next few days, Zaroon tried to talk with Jannat, but he didn't know how to make her comfortable. She was so shy and got nervous easily. He had to manage by just looking at her from afar, but it was not enough now. He could feel the need of being closer to her.

He was getting obsessed with her. He wanted to spend time with her, make her laugh.

It was Areej's birthday, she decided to forget everything and invite Zaroon. Even though, she couldn't hope for him to come. He acted civil, when she came to talk to him.

------------------

Areej's birthday was a big event like every year. She liked to celebrate everything. Jannat was reading a book in her room, when Areej entered the room. "Here’s your dress, I want you in it tonight. "Areej said in a serious tone.

Jannat saw the dress and her mouth fell open. "Di, I will end up falling in this dress. "It was a long gown. She had never worn such dresses.

"I can wear a nice shirt with jeans. "Jannat suggested biting her lip. She looked like a munchkin, sitting on the bed, looking at Areej.

"you always do this; I won’t hear an excuse this time. "Areej said and went out. Jannat sat their conflicted, looking at the black gown. It was beautiful, but girlish.

In the evening, Jannat got dressed in the gown, she left her hair open, not knowing what to do with them, they were a bit wavy naturally, in her feet she wore cute sandals.

Once she was ready, she decided to go to Areej, she wanted to be able to leave before the crowd gathered. She didn't enjoy the parties that much, especially when the guests coming only wanted to talk about money, business and fashion. She was more of a nature, books and peace kind of girl.
