Hi guys, first , I want to thank all of you of your comments. You can't imagine how I'm happy, I didn't expect from this story to receive such a good and positive vibes from all of you. It was the best start ever and I have so many likes and so many comments. It puts some pressure on my shoulders for the next chapter, I hope you will not be disapointed with this one.And because, some ask if I can do it as a SS and not TS, so I transformed it into SS (lest than 10 chapter around five or six, I guess) So here it goes.

Chap 2

The next morning, Zoya, in front of the school was welcoming the children, smiling at each of the student and parents. She saw from the corner, Asad and salim coming. The truth was that she wanted to see him even if she tried to convince herself that it wasn't the case. She couldn't ignore the small bump under her chest seeing him.

-good morning Salim, she rubbed his cheek

-good morning Miss farooqui

-I wished I was this cheek, wisphered Asad, but enough to be hear by her. She glared at him.

-good morning Miss farooqui

-Mister khan, she looked away focussing on the up coming children

Asad stood next to her, playing with his feet and his hand behind his back. He looked like a child she thought. Feeling that he wanted to talk, she started the discussion :

-what mister khan ?

-I was wondering if you think about my proposal ? I mean the date ?

-I thought I have answered yesterday

-I thought that it wasn't your final answer, see we never have to take decision too hastily after a long and painful day working,we are most of the time irritated and tired and expecially you, working with kids all day, I guess it draws all your energy. That why yesterday, I didn't insist we were all exhauted and it was late. He smiled proudly at his explanation. But today, it's a new day, so I ask you again, if you want to go out with me ?

-no, mister khan, tired or not, my answer will always be the same : NO

-ok, I can understand , you can't let Sarah alone and to find a baby sitter in those days, it's hard and expensive, so what about just a coffee for a start ?

-I told you, Mister Khan, I will not go out with you

-ok , let just say, if we go out as a friend, no date, just two person who want to be friend, what do you think ?

-no thank you, I have enough friends

-ouch, that was a bit harsh miss farooqui,

-please, Mister khan, you have to understand that...

-I understand, he said sadly and Zoya couldn't help but felt sad in turn seeing his sad face. Good bye Miss farooqui, have a nice day. He turned his heels without waiting for her answer.

-Good bye Mister khan, she saw him moving away and she felt a pinch in her heart. Her eyes locked with his back forgetting all the kids and their good morning to her.

Zoya spent all her day, irritated and grumpy, her thought was only on Asad and his sad face. Each time, she convinced herself that she did the right thing, his sad face came to her mind blowing away all her resolution. She didn't want to hurt him, she just wanted him to understand that she don't want to go out with him, she would have gave the same answer for any other men. He wasn't the first to ask her out but it was the first who his sadness affected her the most. She spent all her day fighting between her heart and mind and may sigh a thousand time that day.

One week later

One week has passed and Asad was nowhere to be seen. Salim was coming only with the driver or with his nurse. Days after days, Zoya felt restless. She wanted to talk to him, at least to apologize. She even changed her mind and maybe she will go to drink just coffee as friend, not more. She was desperate. She didn't expect to get attach so fast to him. She only saw him two times but enough to feel connected to him. She hated this new feeling that invaded her each time, she though about him. She couldn't put a name on this feelings, she just missed him, but it was absurb, because, she didn't know him, but all of sudden.

She was sipping her favorite coffee, in her usual coffee shop, reading an thriller book, she needed to occupy her mind with a tortueous story. She was sitting next to the window looking at the people going and walking on the street.

-what this book talk about ? She heard his voice after a week. She couldn't help but felt so happy to see him, she almost smiled seeing him but she couldn't show him this, it was so painfull for her but she had to.

-Mister Khan are you stalking me ? She faked to be scared.

Asad stood up in front of her, he grew up a beard and he looked exhauted evidenced by these bags under the eyes and smiled at her.

-First Hi, he sat in front of her, how are you Miss farooqui ?

-I'm fine thank you, so ?

-well, I have to admit that it may look like that and it wasn't a bad idea but unfortunalltelly we are in the free country and there is a law, and I have a son, so NO, I'm not stalking you, I just like this coffee shop, they made the most tasty coffee that I know. See, we have something in common.

-ok, it's a good explanation, she smirked

-Actually, I was out of the town for a week for a urgent work, so did you miss me ?

-No, she lied

-but I missed you a lot, his voice was sincere and Zoya felt her heart melt away, see I have my own coffee and we're sharing a moment around a coffee, just as a friend. See, it's not that bad, right ?

-Mister khan, see..

-I have something for you, he putted a small box on the table, open it, he waved

-Mister khan, I can't accept, there is no need...

-first, I didn't see you for a week and I was outside so I though to bring something for my new friend, and second, I brought more gifts to Salim, if you think that I only did that to impress you and third, open the box and after you can choose if you want to refuse or not.

Zoya smiled at his antics and found a book untitled : why don't you date this handsome guy in front of you ?

-nice book , no ?

-and what was the end of this story ? She said sarcastically

-I don't know but I hope it's a good ending, like living happily ever after.

-Mister khan, this book was blank, she said turning the pages

-I know, I let you to write the end, but I want you to know I only love happy ending, well I have something else for you.

He took a small red rose and some sweets on the table. She looked surprised.

-what is that, Mister khan ?

-are you blind, Miss farooqui ? This is a rose and sweets, and you are real teacher ? I want to see your degrees, she smacked his hands.

-what was all of that Asad ? She asked

-see, Miss farooqui, you refuse my date, and I accept, but I didn't accept the fact that you refuse my frienship. So, I just want to proove you wrong, so as a FRIEND, I bring a book for you, you can write all your ideas and write your own end. If it was a date, I would have bring a bouquet of red roses, but instead, as a friend, I bring this small rose that I took from my meal tray during my travel. And, for the sweet, if it was a date, I would have bring some chocolate in red box but instead, I bring those sweet that beautiful hostess gave me for fresh breath. Do you think she send me a hidden message ? He scratched his head faking to think. Anyway, I have to go, I have meeting, I need this.

He took one of the sweet and putted it in his mouth.

-I don't have time to go home, please, Miss farooqui, could you pay for me this coffee ? And promess, I will pay the next one, because, he came closer to her face, it will be a another one, Ok ? She nodded, perfect. See you.

Asad took his lungage and left, she saw him leaving and stoped in the window, looking at her. He putted his hand on the window like he was touching her. He smiled and left. Zoya reached the imprint left by his hand and putted hers on it. She looked at his gifts and flashback what happen earlier. She couldn't help but laughed at everything, she placed her hands on her tummy, she couldn't stop from laughing, while all the customers were looking at her wierdly. She couldn't ignore tha fact that when he was with her, she always have the same feeling, happiness, joy and peaceful. She didn't even laug so much, he made her laugh sometimes without his will, but she laughed after so long and she liked that feeling. She prefered to ignore for the moment, the fears that always came behind any of her joy moment, she just wanted to savor this moment that came from nowhere but still magic.

-Mister impossible ahmed khan. She payed and took his gifts and left, smiling.

Every morning was the same mechanic between them, she was on the door welcoming the children and Asad always came, stayed a few second. Most of the time, she rolled her eyes each time he talked to her. Asad was always in the charmer mood and Zoya kept ignoring his calls. She had to admit that he was reckless. Sometimes, he was frustrated to insist that why she always responded sharply, and it seemed that it didn't stop instead of he always smiled at her behaviour, like he was enjoying to see her irritating, maybe a sadistic , she thought. She sometimes found herself enjoying this game between them. Playing dog and cat, it may sound odd for her but she enjoyed his way to seduce her, even if sometimes it's too unbearable and bold. The fact, she liked to start her day seeing him in the morning.

Asad too liked their game, he liked playing with her, telling her that he found her beautiful, too strict, he loved the way she rolled her eyes at him. He loved the way she blushed even if she hid it behind a fake anger. He knew that she liked to play with him and that he had an effect on her, but he prefered not to tell her this for the moment. He didn't want her to change and to hide behind her shell. He never crossed her limits, when she said No, he stopped, but she always kept answering him sharply and hardly, he loved her sense of humor. He couldn't stop himself from seeing her everyday and talking to her, all the subject was good as long as there was communication between them. He wanted her to get used to him and to feel confort with him. He even noticed one day, that she smiled seeing him when she thought that he wasn't watching.

-Hello, Miss Farooqui, he said sheepishly, let the game start, he thought

-Good Morning Mister Khan, she smirked, I'm ready to close your mouth mister Arrogant, she thought

-How are you today ?

-like yesterday and like day before yesterday and if Allah wants, like tomorrow, she rolled her eyes

-perfect, so you're in fine form. Are you happy to see me ?

-Yes, she smiled widely

-really ? He said surprised

-No, her smile disappeared,

-Oh, his happiness fell and she giggled. But I'm so sad that it was not reciprocated feeling, because I'm happy to see you and you know what I don't know what happened to you but you look beautiful day after day.

-Oh God, I know, you always told me this, I don't how many times you used this word, I feel myself to be Miss Univers

-no you are Miss Farooqui, he giggled at his joke

-very funny,

-see, Miss Farooqui, I don't have enough vocabulary, I guess I have to return at school, will you be my teacher ? He said naughtily and she just sighed loudly in response.

-ok let do something, I will stop saying that you are beautiful but instead I will say that you are ugly, so ugly, baahhh , he made a disgust face.

-Mister khan, she said irritated

-what you don't want me to say beautiful ? So, I increased my vocabulary and you are the ugliest person I've ever seen in whole my life, in fact, you are so ugly that I want to do a favor for you. I accept to go out for a date with you, don't thank me , please ? He said seriously

-oh really, you think it's a favor ? She said outrageous

-of course, see, I don't want anyone to go out with a ugly person like you so as a friend, I accept to sacrifice myself for a dinner with you, what do you think ?

-well, I will do a favor because you are my FRIEND, she stretched the word, I will not go on date with you, I don't want your friends to see you with an ugly woman like me. She teased him back.

-Don't worry for my reputation, we are going to be just you in me, in a place with dim light, some candles, some good food, some good music.

-ugh, you are frustrated man, you always have an answer for everything

-not all but with you yes, he winked at her

- sometimes I'm feeling like killing you and you know what day after day, I start hating you, she crossed her arms on her chest

-thank you, he replied

-did you hear what I say ? I hate you Mister Khan, she struggled her shoulders annoyed

-at least you have feeling for me, it's a good start, it's not my favorite but I can accept for the beginning

-you really accept this ? She asked surprised

-you know Miss farooqui, love and hate share the same place, the heart. So I accept anything as long as I'm in your heart.

He said looking intently into her eyes. She didn't know what to say, she just blushed at his statement and she didn't control when her lips twirled a little. She just closed her eyes, sighed in defeat and joined the children. She turned her back and smiled knowing that he couldn't see her.

-Good bye Miss Farooqui, he said naugltily, she just struggled her shoulders at him without facing him.

Asad smiled and he felt satisfy each time, he succeeded by closing her mouth with his replies. He knew that he gained point everyday, but still it was fragile and the road to her heart was long and the destination was worth for it to try everyday. Afterall, he is a lion and he liked to play with his prey.

Some days later

Came the end of the day to Zoya, students were beginning to stir in with the arrival of the end of the course. She loved these moments, especially the happiness of children when the bell will going to ring and seeing them running in all directions, by far it looks like chaos but the truth was that it's the delivery for all.

-Kid before you leave, I want you to give this to your parents about our next outing to the zoo. I want them to precise if they are agreed for you to come and if they want to participate for surveillance. And I would like to have it for tomorrow.

The bells started to ring and all of them jumped in anticipation. She just shook her head asking them to be quiet and not to run. Suddenly, the noise left and the silence took place naturally. She putted her things in her bag, she arranged the open books left by each other but also the class before leaving. She joined the corridor where Sarah was waiting, sitting nicely. She smiled at her daughter and took her arms that daughter's arms mutually wrapped around her. That's why she liked the end of school because she could finally assume her role as mother and she could take her daughter in her arms. They walked outside hand in hand talking to each other. Sarah was the first to notice Salim waiting outside and she called her mother showing him, to which she just cursed Asad again under her breath.

-Ya Allah, from this man.

They approached him, like a vision of dj-vu by all of them. Asad came few minutes later where all of them were waiting for him. Zoya started to think for a lecture again his irresponsible behaviour, he came loosing his tie, he looked tensed and his face was serious, he didn't show his usual smile and the spark in his eyes was missing.

-Mister khan, she said codly

-not now, Miss Farooqui, he said sharply, I'm not in a mood to listen to any lecture, please, spare me any of your lecture.

Zoya felt a hammer kick her head, she was totally stunned by his rude behaviour, he was never like this with her, even when she was rude with him. She felt hurt and her heart constricted. He gave her his back, took his son in his arms and left. Zoya stood totally inert. Her gaze into space and her brain was trying to register the facts. She didn't know why she wanted to cry, he was nothing for her but still, his rudeness affected her from the core.

-Ammi, what's wrong with uncle ? Asked Sarah aware of the situation

-I think he has a bad day and he is tired, Sarah, that why he was not in a good mood, explained Zoya to Sarah, feeling at the same time, that it may be the good explanation to his behaviour and not the fact that he was fed up from her or he wanted to hurt her because she rejected him. She just wished to be this and nothing else. She walked silently with a heavy heart.

Asad was frustrated with his behavior towards her, she had nothing to do, it's not his fault that he lost a big deal today. He didn't have to act like a moron with her. He clenched the steering wheel from rage. He will have to apologize quickly and well, really well because otherwise she would not talk to him. He still had the image of her look, totally shocked in his head and that further increased his guilt.

The next day

Zoya spent her night tossing and turning in her bed, she couldn't find peace in her sleep. She was exhauted and irritated, she was suppose not to take it personnally, he was in a bad day and he wasn't in a mood to listen to her lecture. But still, he shouldn't have to talk to her witht his tone. After all night, where her heart crossed many feeling like sadness, worried, understanding, she woke up this morning with just an anger, she came to the conclusion that she won't talk to him until he didn't apologize.

She stood like every morning in front of the door, for a change, she was impatient to see him and to hear his explanation. And then, he came, Zoya's heart started to hammer under her chest and she couldn' control it, stupid heart, she thought. He looked ashame and worried, he came slowly this time and he didn't move. She avoided him.

-Miss Farooqui, he called her but she didn't respond

-Miss Farooqui, I'm sorry for yesterday, it's just that I had a bad day and I didn't have to talk to you like this, please say that you forgive me

She just looked briefly at him and turned her heels. Asad's mouth fell and he scratched his head totally desperate.

-Asad beta, you are dead, it seemed that from now, you will face Gabar Zoya Farooqui. Back to the starting square, he facepalmed himself and sighed.

During class break

Zoya was inspecting the children, playing and laughing with each other. She couldn't understand why she didn't forgive him, is it what she asked ? For apology ? She will only talk to him if he apologized and he did it, but she didn't know why her brain didn't want to make it easy for him. She convinced herself that he had to learn that we all had our bad day and it didn't make an excuse to act like an irrespectfull idiot. She stirred from her reveries when she felt someone pulling her skirt.

-Yes, what do you want ? She asked, he smiled at her, giving her a white rose and just said

-I'm sorry and he ran

-What ?

She didn't get the time to ask him properly, he left quickly. She looked at the rose, surprised. She felt again someone pulling her skirt. A new kid gave her rose and said the same word. And this thing happened again and again, until she was holding a big bouquet of white roses. At the beginning, she was surprised, and then curious, and puzzled and now angry, because she didn't know what happened until the last kid came, it was Salim, he came and gave her a red rose this time. She grabbed him and asked him :

- tell me who gave you this, please Salim.

The kid pointed to the door and Zoya found Asad holding his ears muttering Sorry . Salim pulled her skirt and asked her :

-he asked me if you will forgive him now ?

Zoya couldn't hold her blushed and blocked the joy that she felt into her heart. She smiled widely and hid it behind the bouquet.

-please, Miss Farooqui, forgive him or I will loose all my beads

-why you say that, Salim ?

-Dad force me to convince all my friend to give you a rose and they only accept if I gave them my beads, and see I have only three now, so please, see yes ? Salim was totally desperate

Zoya pursed her lips from laughing, she didn't know who she found the cuttest between the son or the father. They are really the same. She didn't want to make Salim suffer so she will only accept for Salim and not Asad

Yes of course, I believe you, said her inner voice

She ignored it and talked to the Salim into his ears and gave him a rose.

Asad saw Salim running toward him with the rose, he gave him and called him to bent down, he whispered into his ears :

-yes and thank you

Asad was on cloud nine, he was so happy that it worked, he was afraid of being boarded by police for minor harassment. He sighed in relief and he kissed Salim on his cheek. Salim grew his eyes and touched his cheek :

-Abbu, I can't give her this, she's my teacher, he said worried.

Asad laughed at him and looked at Zoya smiling at her to thank her showing her the rose. And she smiled back, holding proudly her bouquet.

-Salim, tell me why did she laugh when you gave her the rose ? Did she like it ? He was curious to know what happened between them.

-I don't know abbu, but you have to know that It's because of me that she forgive you

-what ?

-this is what she said,

-Miss Farooqui, never want to admit, stubborn

-she said also that if you don't buy me beads, she will take back her words

-why did she say that ? How did she know about this ?

-I told her, Salim responded like it was obvious

-Salim, you were not supposed to expose the plan, you supposed to be by my side, he said frustrated

-No, Abbu, you always told me to protect girls and never hitted them, even if you ask me, so this is what I did, I'm Miss Farooqui's side

-Salim, I'm your father

-but she is my favorite teacher

-Me too, replied Asad without thinking

-no, she is not yours, Abbu, I don't share

-Son, remind me to teach a new lesson

-oh no, not a new homework, Salim looked grumpy

-Father and son code, this is important and for life, so now, go, thank you Son

-Bye Abbu, see you later.

Asad looked at his son and was happy to see some changes inn his son. The truth was that he became close now, when he excuted his plan, his son didn't hesitate at the beginning, he looked proud to help his father. He looked at the rose in his hand.

-Mister Khan , she called him

-Miss Farooqui

-using your own son for this, she shook her head

-I know, it's not good, but I know that you can resist at a child

-this is truth, I can't resist to their eyes

-you know I'm a big child, look into my eyes, he said waggling his eyelids

-Mister Khan not again or I will change my mind, she warned him

-ok, ok, I'm sorry, I'm happy that you forgive me and I'm sorry again

-I'm sorry too

-For what ?

-you were right, I was about to give some lecture but I know how you love your son and you didn't do it on purpose, you were only late for few minutes and for a change, you came on time. I just came out few minutes when you came.

-thank you Miss Farooqui, it was really a bad day and I lost a big and important deal. You remembered I left for one week, it was because of this deal.

-Don't worry, maybe Allah has reserved you another deal and this time you will conclude it for sure

-I have one in my mind and I wish it will work. He smiled sheepishly.

Zoya understood what he meant but prefered to ignore the fact that he was talking about her.

-Mister Khan, Miss Farooqui

Both of them jumped hearing Mrs Marge's voice.

-what are you doing here, Mister Khan ?

-well, Mrs Marge, I came to see and inspect my son that he won't bit or disturbe his camarade,

-but Mister Khan, your are not allowed and this is our job and if you want to be next to your son, you have to ask for a teacher's position like Miss Farooqui, she replied

-is there a new position ? He smirked and Zoya's eyes glared at him shocked

-No, the year has already started and we don't have any replacement, He nodded like he was sad. Anyway, Miss farooqui, what is this bouquet ?

-Hmmm, this bouquet..hmm, Zoya started sweating , she didn't know what to respond

-it's me, I offer this bouquet, because I wanted to thank her for her help and her work toward the kids, that I respect your hard working and because of your devotion, our new generation will grow up with good and respectfull manners and principle.

-thank you Mister Khan, this is really sweet of you, Mrs Marge said touched by his words

Asad stared at Zoya and said in his eyes : you owe me something and Zoya rolled her eyes heavenly. Mrs Marge looked at the bouquet enviously.

-those flowers are beautiful, she just said.

Asad felt that she wanted some but he gave everything to Zoya, and the only flower that he had now, was the one Zoya gave him. He sighed sadly and gave her his rose.

-See, Mrs Marge, this is only one, this flower means a lot to me, he looked at Zoya and she looked back at him.

-thank you, so much, Mister Khan, see you soon, and she left.

Asad looked at his rose sadly.

-I have to go, bye Miss Farooqui, he turned slowly

-wait, she called him

Asad turned back and he saw her taking the only red rose, she cutted the rod and placed it on his coat. He looked at her half-shocked half-surprised. Like, she sensed his question.

-the red one suit better on your black coat. Bye Mister Khan. She smiled widely at him and left.

Asad looked at her going away and grinned like a child, this day was really a good day for him. She forgave him, she smiled at him and this time her smile reached her eyes. And, plus of all of this, she gave him the red rose, even if he didn't want to conclude but we all know what it means the red rose...
