Must Read: The Silent Lover - Season 1 - Episode 20

She was almost about to tell.him ‘I wasn’t expecting you to call”, bug caught her tongue just at the moment.

“I hope I didn’t disturb your sleep, did I?
She smiled in answer and said. “Why do you always take permission for things you’ve already done?”

He laughed loudly this time.

“Do remember your words Ma’am.” He said, his voice smiling. “That was something very meaningful.”

Only then she realized what she’d said and what could be its ‘after effects’.

“So, how was the wedding?” He asked anxiously, after a brief pause.

“Very nice, so beautiful.”

“So are you.” He said spontaneously.
She was speechless for some moments, then said,

“That was very superficial remark.’

“I always keep ‘deep’ things saved for later times.” As he spoke, she could easily guess that he had not stopped smiling for a second.

“May I ask how did you…….

“Get your phone number?” He interrupted again, never giving her a chance to speak properly.

“It was pretty easy. Your cousin Daniyal is my best friend’s cousin as well.”

“Oh,” She giggled. “Seems like very close relation.”

“Are you being sarcastic?”

“No”, She answered. “I’m only being honest.”

“I like……” He said huskily, his tone suddenly became serious and deep. “I like honest people, because I am a honest man myself.”

She kept herself silent this time.

“Also, you told me you were about to go back to London soon……” He continued. “And
that’s why I didn’t watse time.”

As he spoke, her breaths grew fast.

“Basically I’m a simple and straight forward person, Komal,” He told her, his voice even more deep and heavy now.

“I don’t believe in flirtatious movies dialogues and cheap styles of expression. So I decided to tell you the truth right away.”

“And what’s your truth?” She wanted to ask but her tongue didn’t follow her mind.

“And the truth is that,” He said.

Oh God, he even seemed to be reading her mind.

“I really like you and want to meet you.”

“What” She was totally shocked and taken aback. “But why? What do you have in mind?”

“I was wondering if we both wanted to go out?” He said in a flow.

“But…..” She said, her voice high. “But we don’t even know each other properly.”

“That’s whay I thought too.” Aariz
said, “buy I’ve been thinking and it occurred to me that meeting each other would be the best way possible to know each other.”

She couldn’t say a word in answer.

“Take your time Komal,” He said softly but firmly. “I don’t want to force myself upon you. But I have just one request….” He finished his sentence.

Her heartbeats had become so loud that she thought if he could hear them.

“And that is, don’t deny your feelings, and don’t betray your heart.” He whispered, and then added. “And now even if you refuse my
offer, reject my suggestion, I won’t insist.
I’d take that as my fate, my luck.”

He didn’t say a word after that, but she could hear his breaths. He sure was curious to know her response and was desperate to see her reaction.

“I…….” She began to say, but felt like her throat was obstructed. “I…..I’ve never ever done that.”

“Neither did I.” He told her.

“Okay,” She finally released the long breath she was holding for so long. “When and where do you want to meet?”

“Thanks.” His voice became loud and shaky with intense happiness. “Thanks so much Komal.”

“Thanks for what?”

“For trusting me, believing me.”

“It’s alright.” She smiled for the first time
in their conversation. “I think you’re nice.”

“Now I won’t say a second ‘thanks’ for that. How about tomorrow night, if it is not too short notice?”

“Err, tomorrow’s no good, I’m afraid, it’s my best friend’s birthday. How about saturday?”

“Saturday’s great, I’ll book a table somewhere nice if you fancy it.”

Komal was always up for good food. “Sounds great.”

“Umm. Okay, but do you know my address?”

“Ofcourse not.” He laughed.

“I’m actually staying with my uncle’s family here in Defense.” She told him her address.

“I’ll be there!” He was feeling very happy indeed.

“Well, see you then! Bye for now.” She put down the reciever.

Her first ‘date’ with any guy ever. She thought and sighed.

The line had been crossed and there was no stepping back.
