Jaan

Part 20- Unbelievable

"Hey girls" he said.

Ayla's mouth got wide as she started complimenting him.

"Congratulations! I hope-" I stopped talking when he suddenly hugged me.

Uh...okay.

He pulled away and thanked us.

"Thank you for coming, I feel great that you guys came for such a special day" he said.

"We're happy for you" Ayla said what I wanted to say before me.

"Have you guys seen other people as well? I've invited almost everyone from our senior year in high school!" he said.

"What?!" Ayla and I both couldn't believe what he just said.

EVERYONE?!

"You mean Aslan is also here?!" I couldn't help but ask.

"You mean Miran is here?!" Ayla asked right after.

"Well...I mean...they were from our class so.."

Oh my Allah!!

"Are you crazy?!" Ayla exclaimed.

"What? Did I do something wrong?!" He asked alerted.

Okay no, we need to disappear from here.

"Hey um... how about you show us your soon to be wife? We're dying to see her!" I said as I pulled him to bring me to her:

"Right! Let me see her!" Ayla added as she followed.

Just as we were making our way to where Aryan was bringing us, a group of people came in all at the same time in the reception hall and all our eyes turned their way.

OH. MY. ALLAH.

Aslan, Miran, Ahmed and Zahara.

The guys were wearing suits and Zahara was wearing desi clothes for the first time.

It's been such a long time that we have seen them but it felt like just yesterday we had already seen them.

Ayla and I looked at each other alerted.

My eyes met with Aslan and I was already panicking. Only his presence is enough to make me loose my mind.

They were making their way towards us when another person joined them and that's when my heart dropped literally on the floor.

I couldn't believe my eyes. This is...not possible.

How? Ya Allah, what?!

Is that Fazal I'm seeing?!!

"I need to use the bathroom" I told Ayla before running away from there.

I was literally shaking. He's alive?!!

No way, I swear I saw him getting shot. So then...what is this?!

I was so confused and I was also afraid. I don't want to go out there. I don't want to believe my eyes or anybody else.

Have I been foolishly believing his death all this time when he was perfectly fine?

Have I been crying myself to sleep every night for no reason?

Have I really been believing a whole lie this whole time?

I feel betrayed although I shouldn't even be...or should I?

I stood in front of the huge glass mirror in the ladies restroom. I opened the water and splashed my face a few times. How am I supposed to calm down right now? I can't stop my hands from trembling.
