MADE FOR EACH OTHER

CHAPTER 12

On monday dua was all set to go back home yes home. After giving lecture for two hours back to back,

she was tired. But the thought of going back home crashing on her bed and having delicious food made

by bua there maid and also a long hot shower seems perfect.

She was in the staff's room. She had this period free it was the last one. she was sitting killing time with

some useless work. She was waiting for the college to finish so she can finally go home.

Some one tab her on the shoulder she took a swing in her chair to see ms.siba one of her hijabi

colleague who works with her.

"Assalamu Aalaykum" siba said in order to greet dua.

"Waalaykumu s-salam" dua said in return.

Ms.siba took a seat beside duas. Which was not her but since no one was there she sat.

"You had a class right." asked dau to her.

"Yes between half the class, the physics sir ms.mehra came in asked that he wanted to continue. Since

his gonna take a leave in order wanted to cover the mid term portion before he leaves." Siba answered.

"I'm sure the kids would have been frustrated" dua said as only hand full of the kids were only ever

interested in physics. She herself never liked it.

"Yes there faces where worth watching." Said siba but continued "hey are you still not coming to the

trip to Hyderabad."

"No. I don't think so. You have fun for me too." Said dua.

"Well. Tomorrow is the last day to submit the names. You still sure. It would have been fun if you

came." Siba continued. To her dua just nodded negative.

Though dua wanted to go she didn't had the courage to even ask her baba.

They passed rest of the time with chatting about stuffs and things.

The second dua stepped her first foot she regretted coming back. Ayesha was yelling again. She

refreshes her memory in order to recall if she did something wrong or what. But nothing came hence

she didn't intended to eavesdrop she stood there and listened what the matter was.

"I don't know. She should be not there. You know when mrs.rizvi came she asked for dua. Last time too

when the mr.khan came for there's son proposal they asked for her and not me. This time no matter

what I don't want her to come in between me and my happiness. That's all." Ayesha was yelling at her

baba.

"Ayesha do not worry. I know that ahmed Rizvi would not turn me down. I promise you I'll talk to them

and she said she liked you too. So don't worry okay. Stop crying now." Mr.shah said.

Dua didn't knew she was crying too until she felt a drop on her cheek. Her sister doesn't want her

presence in her life. It was not her fault that people rejected her. Honestly she didn't even knew they

rejected her,she though she rejected them all. She didn't even knew someone was coming to even see

her today.

She wiped the tears of her cheeks and decided to make her presence now. When she went in she saw

her baba was hugging ayesha and said " okay. It's okay. She won't be there. Your baba would handle it

all. You know you're baba would do anything for you."

It was hard for dua to stop crying but she was holding herself good. It was when her sandals hit the

staircase, by the sound mr.shah and ayesha acknowledged duas presence. She wanted to run up to

her room in wink of time but stopped and turned. She stood in front of them.

"Assalamu Aalaykum" she said.

They both seemed confused.

Dua didn't waited for them to reply and continued.

"Baba. The college has organized a trip for a week. I wanted to go. Day after tomorrow is when it is."

She was waiting for the response.

Even before mr.shah would say anything ayesha spoke. "Yes. You can go. Baba give her the Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

permission to go. What are you thinking baba."

Mr.shah nodded to dua and said "Yes you can go".

Dua went straight to her room. Closing the door behind her she just collapsed on her bed and began

her cry.

Her father never had ever send her to any trip. She remmber last time when she asked ayesha told that

it would be unsafe for a girl like her who can easily slip into any trap should go. She also remembered

ayesha said that they had no money for her. Dua even said she doesn't need money she had it but still

didn't gave her permission anyway. And now when someone was choosing her over ayesha baba gave

her permission so that they can devour her absence. She cried and cried and finally concluded at least

she's going to a trip after this long away from her hopeless and unloving family.

Dua skipped her lunch and dinner too though she was hungry as hell she didn't had the courage to go

down and see their faces.

That's why bauh came with a glass of milk into dua's room.at night.

"Bauh. What are you doing." Dua asked.

"I know you didn't had anything so brought you your favorite chocolate milk." Bauh said.

"Jazak Allah buah." She took the glass from the tray and began to drink it.

"Ah. Bua did any guest came today." Dau asked.

"Yes" buah replied.

"Who bua tell me. Please." Dua answered.

Bua took a deep sigh and began.

"Shahab told me some guest are coming and asked to take a good care of the food." She paused but

continued. "He said some people are coming to see ayesha. When they came I bought ayesha down.

But all they kept asking for you too. But sahab told them that you went for work. The guest were

disappointed. Then they ask for your hand for the proposal but saheb said you aren't interested in

getting married so soon. So they just went along the lady said that they like ayesha too but they will call

them. She said she has to talk to there son too." She stopped. She turned to see dua's face which was

about to shed tears. "That's why I didn't wanted to say you anything. I knew it would break you." Bau

said.

"No. It's okay. Anyway thank's for the milk. And yes bua I am for a trip I want you to pack some snacks

for me." Dau said. They chatted a bit more. Bua was the only mother like figure dua ever had in her life.
