His Secrets

"Coffee?"Zachariah intervened in between our stare down and then my gaze slid down onto the center of his shirt to find that there was no brown stain. I checked twice but the shirt was crisp clean and white without any stain.I couldn't for the life of me imagine How he found the time to change the shirt and get here quickly too? The man had something with speed."I would love some."He was still staring at me but with mirth in those grey eyes. Why it felt like that he knew that I scanned down his shirt?"And Hudhayfah?"Zachariah was on the other end talking in intercom ordering my latte  with cube of sugar with some whipped creme as he asked for Mr Khan's order."Black coffee with two cubes of sugar."He said taking a seat on the sofa opening the button of his jacket and pulling one leg on another while cupping hi

Friendship and love should never mix up. It makes things awkward. Friendship is something solid. Its like a waterproofed emotion that can't damaged easily but love it's a emotion filled with doubts uncertainties and insecurities.You know the saying "Everything is fair in Love and War." Just look how they have actually linked War with Love. War is destruction in which no side wins. There are always losses. It leaves it mark in history that could never be erased.Love. Isn't it the same thing? People in love has done such heinous and vile acts that history even weep.

Elder brother Cain was in love with his twin sister who was married to his younger brother Abel. It infused jealousy in him which lately lead to an inextinguishable fury when Abel sacrifice got accepted by Allah. In the b

We were standing in the elevator which was actually going up. There was utter silence. A comfortable one at that. I couldn't keep my curiosity which lead me to break this peaceful silence."Is there another floor?" My hands held in each other at middle with my finger intertwined."You will see."I could tell that he wasn't going to give a proper answer. Was he trying to surprise me? What else could be there this high up if not a floor? A mischievous smile played on my lips. "A rooftop."It wasn't that difficult to figure out but I really wanted him to give me a confirmation. I turned my head to my left.He curled his lip down tipping his head sideways as he sighed."You are smart. Remind me to be cautious.""You don't need to be." The reply came like a reflex. I didn't need to pound on it even for a second. I was astonished of th

"Damn it. "I cursed checking the time which told that I was late. I should have been in club an hour earlier but I got held up.Zachariah wasn't very happy with our conversation last night. I knew it but he accepted it.We were both sitting in his apartment just chatting about some things when he suddenly said out of blue."I am going to confess my feeling to her.""I see."I took the sip of the soda not giving any input before reminding him about the main thing."She isn't going to accept." He had a blank expression on his face as he studied me before adding."I can convert. She need to just tell me."I nodded my head leaning back on the sofa.

Pink carnation flower in my vase today making my desk more feminine symbolizing that I was unforgettable and being missed. We were on edge with each other since that night, not talking properly, sending even simple messages through our secretaries, avoiding each other at every chance.I knew this would happen. These kind confession between two long friends reach to awkwardness one way or another. In first case, if the feeling are reciprocated by recipient then they try to find their footing in new-found relationship, testing the romantic water, getting awkward together.In the other case, when feelings aren't reciprocated. They drift apart, try to find their footing in their old relationship and get awkward alone.I threw the file on my desk. I couldn't tolerate this anymore. We weren't supposed to be like this. It was understandable that this all was very uncomfortable but one of us had to come forward. If takes me making
