Rayyana's POV

Sabha was acting weird ever since the party yesterday. I had asked her multiple times what's wrong but she wasn't telling me. I just eventually guessed that it was because of Nadeem who for some reason wanted to join us on our shopping trip. 

Asad and Amir were following closely behind us, Asad actually had a meeting but he cancelled for some reason, I know it's not for me but I don't know why he did it. Nadeem was getting kind of close to Sabha and every time he would try Amir would always bud in and stop them. 

I dont know why but Rabia and Soojin found nothing strange about that. After Amir bud again for the 500th time I knew I had to ask one of them. 

I turned to look at Asad who had a knowing look and I instantly knew that he was part of this. It was killing me and I don't really like to be kept in the dark. 

Me, the girls, and the guys all head into a shop and us girls immediately go around looking for clothes to try on. I was looking at some dresses that cover you from head to toe when I hear Amir's voice saying "You would look amazing in this Jaan."

Jaan? Who did he say that too?

I look around for Soojin and Rabia to see if they hear Amir, but they were too busy swooning over some guys. 

I roll my eyes around and I see who Amir is talking too, but when I look he's sitting beside Asad. I raised an eyebrow is he flirting with Asad?

I shake my head and look at Sabha who's face is red. 

Bingo!

I quickly grab a random dress and watch as Sabha picks up a shirt practically running to the dressing rooms. She asks someone behind the counter for a room and quickly goes into it. 

I ask the women for the one beside her and get in myself. "Psst Sabha." It's quiet before "Rayyana?" I can just Imagine Sabha looking around for me. 

"Yeah, it's me. I'm in the next stall, open your door." I come out from my stall and go into Sabha's who's sitting there on this little bench. 

"Okay Sabha what is going on? I know there's something going on between you and Amir." Sabha looked up at me in shock and then down to the floor. She started sniffling and I saw down beside her and she started telling me her story. 

I nodded along and hugged Sabha at the end of her story. "That jerk, wait till I blow his head off!" Sabha chuckled beside me "No Rayyana, I think I... I mean... I liked Amir a long time ago and.... I don't know..." She trailed off. 

"Don't tell me Sabha that you like him." She nodded as I groaned at her. 

Sabha's POV

I didn't tell Rayyana about the fact that I had to pull a lot of strings to get here, about how my dad left and my family and I have practically no money. 

I was contemplating marrying him. I mean, Nadeem is still here isn't he? I bit my lip and shook my head. 

I was lost. 

Rayyana and I talked some more about how Amir was a jerk face and then we left the dressing rooms. 

"There you two are, where were you?" Rabia asked us, me and Rayyana pointed to our dress and shirt we had taken out but never tried on. "Oh, are you getting them?" Soojin asked us, me and Rayyana lightly chuckled and said no at the same time. 

We put the shirt and dress away and left the store to go to the food court. 

"Okay, I have to go to the bathroom how about you guys save a seat." Rabia said going from one foot to the next. "I have to go as well." Rayyana said and Soojin nodded saying she had to go as well. Figures, they all had slushies before coming here. 

I laughed at them "Don't worry, I'll save us a seat." They thank me and run to go look for the bathrooms. 

I looked around and saw a 7 table seat big enough for all of us, I looked around for the guys but they weren't here. I shrugged to myself and sat down at the table and fished around in my purse for money. 

UGH! Did I waste it all? I looked around some more but only came out with $15. What the heck did I even buy? 

"Hey Sabha." I look up and blush as Nadeem sit's down across from me. I smile at him and put away my purse forgetting about the money problem, I fix my dress and hair and lean back "Hi." please ALLAH make me look cool!

Nadeem lightly chuckled and checked me out, it made me a bit uncomfortable but I just shrugged it off. After all, he may be my future husband. 

"You look beautiful." I blushed harder and whispered a "thank you." Nadeem smiled at me and opened his mouth to say something when someone slipped in beside him. 

"Bonjour belle dame et sac poubelle." Amir said in a horrible French accent. I held back a smile, Amir just called Nadeem a trash bag. "What?" Nadeem asked confused. Amir just lightly chuckled "Nothing." I checked him out, wow I never noticed how muscular he is. 

I shook my head and looked at Amir to see him smirking at me, I rolled my eyes and focused my attention to Nadeem who was talking about himself. 

After a good 3 minutes I realized that Nadeem talk's about himself a lot. I yawned and tried covering it up, but I didn't have too because Nadeem was so busy talking about himself to notice. 

Suddenly, I felt something touch my foot. I looked at the ground confused, was it a rat? Seeing nothing I go back to Nadeem. A few minutes later something touches me again, and this time it doesn't stop.  

I look down and see a foot, I followed the leg and my breath hitched when I met Amir's smirk. I glared at him and kicked his leg, he made a pretend ouch face and then continued touching my foot.

"And then I... Sabha, you okay?" ya ALLAH why did Nadeem have to notice something was wrong right now?

I turned to him with a smile "f-fine." I mentally face-palmed myself for my stutter. Nadeem raised an eyebrow and said "mhm." and then continued his boring story. 

I took a sharp breath when I felt Amir's foot go higher and higher, I sat there with a blush and biting my lip to stop myself from yelling at him.

WHERE THE HELL DID EVERYONE GO????

"Hey guys." Rabia, Soojin, and Rayyana sat down next to me all smiling and putting their purses on the table. Nadeem stopped with his story and Amir placed his foot back in his shoe. 

I took deep breaths "Are you okay?" Soojin asked me "Your face is red, and you look like your out of breath." Ya ALLAH why did Soojin say that out loud? "Yeah, you okay Sabha?" I glare at Amir as he looked at me with an innocent expression. 

I clench my jaw and mumble out a "I'm fine." then Asad came and we all talked about food. 

We all went to the different mini restaurants, I was alone at DQ and I looked at all the food, I felt someone behind me and turned around to see Amir. "I cant believe you like Nadeem, I mean the guy can't shut up for 2 seconds."

"At least he has manners." Amir scoffed beside me and I knew instantly I was wrong, Nadeem has no manners. "What are you getting?" Amir asked taking out his wallet, I gasped at the amount of money that was practically falling out of his wallet. 

I looked everywhere but there and tutted. Everything was so expensive, not an item worth $15. "Nothing." I say and turn to Amir to see him at the cash register, I run up to him as he's placing his order. 

"I'll have 2 large poutines, and 2 large fries please, as well as 2 large drinks." Amir couldn't get anything else because everything else was Haram, but wow was he going to eat all that? 

The girl nodded "That will be $16.38 please." I gasp at the amount and watch as Amir hands the girl the money, and tells her to keep the change. 

If only I could say that 

The girl came with the food super fast and gave Amir his food. "Here." He gave me one poutine, one large fries, and one of the drinks. Wow, now he's making me hold his stuff?

"Uh, I don't want to hold this." I say and try to hand him it, he raises an eyebrow at me "Then start eating." Now I raise an eyebrow at him. "I got that for you stupid." My eyes widen and I quickly put the food down on the 7 seat table. 

I take my purse out and get the $15 "Look, I don't know what I did but here." I hand him the $15 "That's all I have, I'll give you the rest later." I look to the ground as I say this shame coursing through me. 

Amir grabbed my hand and pushed it back "Sabha, listen to me." He grabbed my chin and made me look at him "This is nothing, besides after we get married I'm going to spoil you more." 

I shook my head "Amir, I don't know. You and I... were different. Now just by money, but by almost everything! Nadeem and I.. we have something." I was lying. 

I was trying to make him jealous. 

"Nadeem will never have an affect over you Sabha, not like me." I was shocked by Amir's confidence when he said that. 

But...what about Nadeem?

"SABHA, AMIR!" We turn to look at Soojin's tear stricken face, suddenly a bunch of people come in with stretcher's "What's going on?" I look at Soojin with curiosity, I hold on to her as she sobs into my shoulder. 

"Its... it's... NADEEM." I freeze as Amir beside me asks what happened to him 

"He had a heart attack Amir! there taking him to the hospital!"
