There are days in life that pass by and quickly forgotten because there has been nothing different from the daily routine, and sometimes there are days which stand out like a red letter down the memory lane because they are different from the humdrum of every day life.

Sameer decided to take me out today. A full day outing. Sanjh was also supposed to come but she ditched us. Don't worry, we'll get bck to her.

The sun was shining brightly, there was not a shine of clouds in the sky and the chill of winter was off-set by the warmth of the sunshine.

"Mama, I'll be back soon" I said kissing Adeel on his cheeks, who was now waving at me.

"Enjoy and don't worry about him. He'll be fine." Mama said.

With one last glance at him, I sat down on the passenger side of the Range Rover as he didn't missed a second also to blur past my house.

"Easy there, Sameer." I said clutching the seatbelt as if my life depends on it.

"I love speed" he said screeching.

"Slow down" I shouted and closed my eyes tightly. Finally, he slowed down. I slowly opened my eyes. He was looking at me with an amused grin on his face.

"What?"

"You've turned into a boring person, Hani, just like Zain!!" He commented giving me a side way look.

"Excuse me!! Zain ain't a boring person" I defended him.

"Tell me one interesting thing he have ever done in his life?" He asked

"He has done skydiving, he has done bungee jumping, he even knows to cook, he takes care of us, he always entertains us, he always takes out time for us and he's a man of his words---"

"Woah, woah!! Woman you're so whipped" he laughed

"Rubbish" I said with my cheeks flaming up. I couldn't stop the shy smile that was formed on my lips.

We waited for a while before we were allowed to go inside to watch the IMAX theater show. I can't say much about it but you'll feel like you are in the airplane as you travel across 4 different areas of Canada. The scenery is just breathtaking! You will not be disappointed!

After we got over with show. We grabbed an ice cream and went for a stroll around Canada Place. Canada Place is the attractive white building located at the east end of Vancouver's Coal Harbour. It is identifiable from its distinctive roof that resembles the sails from a sailboat. The new Convention Centre building is located directly west of Canada Place. The outside deck at Canada Place goes all the way around (including up some stairs at one point) and makes for a pleasant walk with its views of the ocean and North Shore Mountains.

"Subhan Allah" I whispered mesmerized by the view.

"It's truly amazing" Sameer said who was standing right beside me. We took some amazing snaps of the mountains.

I then went a little crazy and shopped a whole lot of thing. He was literally tired and I was damn hungry. So our next destination was Gerrard Street. We had a spicy treat and he for a change really enjoyed it since he had never had it before, he just can't stand anything spicy. Almost all girls are very fond of chaat, pani-puri etc. I was no different. After finishing the chaat, we went to have our favourite cuisine "Chineese".

"God!! Those were so spicy!!" He said drinking three glasses of water in a go, while we waited for our orders to be served.

"But still you liked it" I said smiling. He just rolled his eyes.

"So did he picked up your calls?" He asked.

I took a deep breath closing my eyes. It's been two weeks since he called me that night. After that, he haven't even contact me once also nor responded to my messages. I hope he's fine.

"No" I said slowly.

"I knew it!!" He banged the table lightly. I gave him a confused look. "He's jealous".

"Of what?"

"Of whom....you should ask."

"Sameer, say it clearly."

"Mr.Zain is jealous of me." I spit out the cold drink that I was drinking.

"Have you gone mad?"

"Nope, but surely he is!!" He said with a mischevious glint in his eyes.

"What is cooking in that head of yours?"

"Time will say." He said chewing his noodles. I ignored him and concentrated on my food, savouring the delicious food.

After resting for a while, we went to the boating club which was attached with a park and hired a boat. The weather was lovely and the two of us were together after a long time. There was a mild breeze blowing and the water was calm with faint ripples as the wind touched the surface. There were people sitting on the grass while we took turns to row the boat. The water was clean and transparent, and I could clearly see our faces in the water.

I could also see weeds and sometimes golden fishes swimming around the weeds. We joked and laughed, enjoying ourselves thoroughly. Then we went off the boat. We both sat down on the grass and saw children playing all around. Little birds and sparrows hopped near by.

"So, does he know?" He suddenly asked

"About what?" I asked aghast.

"That you love him?" He said ever so smoothly making my eyes grow big and wider, turning me scarlett. I kept quiet for sometime before he poke me to speak. "Yes, he does" I said remembering our little date in Dubai.

"What was his reaction?" He asked with his eyebrows furrowed.

"He loves her alot" I replied nonchalantly.

"And what about you Hani?" He said turning towards me.

"My love is more than enough for both of us." I smiled

"But Hanya--"

"No Sameer, I've seen them together. I've seen him. The love he shared with Hareem can only happen once in a lifetime." I told him.

"Hani, I'm sure he knows the best of you than anyone can ever will. But you know what Hani? You're so madly in love with him that you've stopped living months ago. When I told you that you've turned into a boring person like Zain, you didn't defended yourself Hani infact you defended Zain" He said making me shock. Did I??? "Hani, you're sharing the same love with Zain which he once shared with Hareem!!"

If I stop to dwell for even a fraction of a second my face is wet with tears. They roll silently into my cracked lips, salty and cold.

"I can never fathom why God would give me someone so good, only to hurt me. I know he was safe with her, loved and warm, but I can never reach there. It's a cruelty that the sun continues to rise, to welcome each new day devoid of his laughter or even his grumpy complaints. I want him to leave his coat on the floor and forget to take his dirty shoes off, leaving a dirty trail for me to clean. I also want to go in our bedroom without any hesitation.

They say, that pain dulls with time, and that things will get better. But how can things be better when the reason of the pain isn't as bad anymore, is it because I've started to forget? Over time, the memory of his presence has escaped my mind. I no longer see his face in strangers, and the love that I share no longer bring tears to my eyes. If getting past the pain means forgetting everything, then I choose to suffer my entire life." I whimpered.

I quietly let my forehead touched his shoulder as my body started to shake vigorously. I let my tears free as I cry forgetting every ounce of our times spent together. Forgetting my first love, my first heartbreak.

Finally, we made a move to go home. We had spent a lovely day, together we had seen a lot, learnt a lot, enjoyed a lot and were now happy to go home and relax. He assured me that how he'll always be there for me, no matter what. This is what I like about our relation. We care for each other alot. It's a simple friendship with lots of feelings attached to it.
It was around ten, it's too late and we were still having ice-cream. After finishing our ice-cream, he drove me back home.

It had indeed been a memorable day which will long remain in our memory

Until...

I rang the doorbell of my house....
