"What stuff did you find out" asked Reem with Curiosity

"I found out that the guy who got beat up had a small crush on me and Haider got to know about it" said Reeka and Reem slowly nodded to Areeka's words. Reeka was a bit traumatised by what had happened.

"I decided to confront him on what happened , I wasn't going to ask him straight up , I was not ready to connect the dots but let Haider explain, But the confrontation literally changed my complete perspective about him , Like 360 degree turn" said Reeka and Reem nodded.

"I told him that I saw him beating up the guy and why did he do this but I also said that he seemed like a nice guy and I saw his jaw clenching , that send chills around my body and it made me a bit scared" said Reeka and Reem sat next to Reeka in her bed.

"He said that The nice guy had a crush on me and he couldn't understand what Haider had said when he asked to back off , Haider acted like what he did was right and the punishment was justified" said Reeka and Reem had a crazy expression

"According to what he said , After his first confrontation the guy had started showing a bit of distance between us and I was the one who was talking to him , not the other way around which made me a lot guilty" said Reeka and Reem held her hand tight.

"I tried to make him understand but he had the scary attitude which would give Goosebumps , He acted like I was his property of something like that , I spoke against and he started apologizing all of a sudden" said Reeka

"Bipolar much" said Reem and Reeka nodded agreeing

"He was so sorry that I don't know why I couldn't stay mad at him anymore , big mistake from my side and I let it slip , It didn't take a turn for the better , He still was sweet and bringing me gifts" said Reeka and paused

"But what Reeka" asked Reem with a concerned expression . Tehreem gave Areeka a tight hug trying her best to comfort her sister. 

"I'm here with you" said Reem and Held Areeka's hand like she had no plans of letting it go , She made it clear that she would be with her.

"He still was sweet and all but started to feel very much suffocating , He was a bit too protective and got jealous easily which was big problem , It would get on my nerves but I don't know why I could stay mad at him" said Areeka

"He had the characteristics of the so called Alpha males in shows and books , But it's no where flattering as it shows in these movies and Books, It gets on my nerves and feels suffocated by his protective gestures , I too have a free life" said Areeka with frustration

"Areeka , Its not your fault and it obviously is going to get frustrating , I surely will punch his face and tell him to get lost at these gestures , You still went on and I must say that you've got a lot of Patience" said Tehreem rolling her eyes.

"Punching his handsome face and ruining it , isn't that too cruel but its surely better than most of your other ways , Comparing to that the punching is just you showing kindness at him" said Areeka and Tehreem chuckled so did Areeka . Tehreem felt better seeing a smile on her sister's face.

"Its just too suffocating to have him around and now I want to break up with him , Would it be too cruel and should I give him a chance or break up with him and cut all ties with him" asked Areeka with hopeful eyes and Tehreem hummed slowly.

"I really think that you want to break up with him , If that's going to make you feel better then you should really go for it , He just seems too toxic from your words and I don't want you dealing with that anymore" said Tehreem with concern and Areeka nodded

"Then it's settled that tomorrow I will meet him at the café and you come to pick me up , He wont do anything crazy around you since he always kept distance when family comes , He likes taking risks but he won't act in front of you or our parents" said Areeka

"Ok, I will meet you over there just after my classes are over and try aligning the times together" said Tehreem and Areeka nodded.

"wait a second" said Areeka and walked up towards the table and took her phone and sat next to a confused Tehreem. Areeka was using her Instagram.

"This is his Instagram Profile; and this is him , Haider" said Areeka and started Showing Haider's pictures from his feed and Tehreem slowly nodded to Areeka. After showing his pictures to Tehreem , Reem looked straight into Areeka's eyes and held her hand tight.

"You know , When you told that he was good looking and explained his features , I really thought you were trying to tick off my boxes but Now is see it , Such a pretty face and destroying that would be cruel but the sad part is that pretty face isn't worth it" said Tehreem and Areeka burst out laughing. The moonlight shined at them.

The sun rays fell on lazy Tehreem and was woken up to the sight of a nervous Areeka . Tehreem got up and went towards the closet , She took out a some clothes and handed it over to Areeka. Tehreem went and did her Morning routine , She did Areeka's eyes and she took some Kajal from her eyes , she put them on Areeka to cast off evil eyes.

Areeka texted Haider to meet her in the café and she avoided him the whole day , She made sure to not cross paths with him. The classes ended and she went to the café and sat there waiting for Haider. She was very nervous .

"You are my lioness , Don't be scared and be confident , All the best" texted Tehreem to Areeka and Areeka Took a deep breathe .

"Hey Areeka , Anything important?" asked Haider in a concerned manner and Areeka nodded

"I need to tell you something important" said Areeka.......
