Sneak Peak Of The Novel
"Today we will sleep in Salar Bhai's room with the AC on. And they snatched our laptop, didn't they? Now we will watch a romantic movie on his laptop." Pulling her cousin's arm, she forcibly took her to Salar Shah's room because she didn't know that Salar's flight had been canceled due to heavy rain. While watching the movie in Salar's room, she fell asleep clutching his comforter in her arms. She didn't realize when she fell asleep. Her cousin had left the room to get water when Salar Shah, exhausted, entered the room, opening the door from behind. Yesterday, due to an urgent meeting due to the flight being canceled, he had come by taking a by-road, but seeing Shaman sleeping on his bed, his forehead was swollen. His face turned red with embarrassment when his eyes fell on the romantic scene playing on the screen.
Right in the middle of Salar's luxurious king-size bed, two girls were sitting with their faces hidden in the blanket, staring at the laptop with suppressed laughter. The blue light of the laptop was falling on their faces, where there were mixed expressions of fear and suspense... "Saman, please lower the volume. If Auntie wakes up, she will break our bones and put them in the ladoos of your wedding cake." Hania pulled Saman's sleeve in fear.
Saman carelessly moved her foot in the air and put a kernel of popcorn in her mouth and said, "Oh, Hania, you are so cowardly. Auntie is in a deep sleep right now and Hitler Lala, your beloved Salar Bhai, is currently busy in some stupid business meeting two hundred kilometers away from the city. Tonight, we rule this room." But Saman... I am getting goosebumps just looking at this place. Look how terrifyingly clean this room is. I think Salar Bhai is watching us even from a distance." Hania looked at the corners of the room as if there were hidden cameras there...
"Pay attention to the climax of the film, the cowardly man. The heroine is about to be caught," said Saman, getting closer to the laptop screen. The clock struck half past two. The film was slowly coming to an end, and with it, Hania's courage was also responding. Her eyes were starting to get sleepy. "Saman... Now I'm not going to sit with you anymore. I'm going to my room. You too, come on," Hania said while yawning and started to get out of the blanket. Saman insisted...
"Hey man, there's only ten minutes left in the film, go watch it, okay?" "No, Baba, if I sleep here and someone watches it in the morning, my marriage will be arranged before Orisha Apa. You too, stop and come on," Hania adjusted her dupatta and left the room with her feet pressed. "What did the coward say..." Saman muttered. "I will wake up only after watching the whole thing." But the downside of sitting alone was that the slow pace of the movie and the softness of the bed also started to work its magic on Saman. The bowl of popcorn was pushed aside and Saman's head slowly rested on the pillow that smelled of Salar's signature perfume.
The laptop remained open on his chest where the movie had ended and only a faint screen was illuminated. Saman had fallen into a deep and carefree sleep, completely unaware of what tricks fate was going to play with him. At exactly three o'clock, the main door of the house opened very quietly. Salar Javed entered the house, wearing a black three-piece suit and holding a briefcase in his hand. There was extreme fatigue on his face, but his eyes retained the same traditional sparkle and seriousness. Due to bad weather and flight cancellation, he had to postpone his most important meeting and return suddenly.
All the way, he was thinking that he would go home and get a few hours of restful sleep because his room was his refuge. He slowly climbed the stairs and reached his room. He turned the handle and opened the door and entered. As soon as he reached for the board to turn on the room light, he saw a strange shadow on the bed. Salar's hands stopped there. Instead of turning on the light, he turned on the flashlight on his phone and stepped towards the bed.
The scene in front of him turned Salar Javed into a clay idol for a few seconds. On his immaculate bed, where he could not tolerate a single wrinkle on the sheet, Saman was sleeping like a queen, half-covered in a red embroidered suit. Salar's precious laptop was lying upside down on his chest and some popcorn kernels had fallen on the other side of the bed... Salar's eyebrows furrowed. A sharp wave of anger ran through him.
"This girl... can never improve," he thought through gritted teeth. He came very close to the bed. He intended to wake Saman up right now and then and take his class in front of the whole house for this insolence. He bent down and placed the laptop on Saman's chest very firmly in his hands. As soon as the laptop was removed, Saman felt a gust of wind. She hesitated a little in her sleep. Her long eyelashes trembled and she waved her hand in the air to avoid the light falling on her face... Salar slammed the laptop on the side table and said in a low voice, "Saman, wake up. What kind of rudeness is this?" Saman looked in front of her with closed eyes. In the halo of the phone's flashlight, Salar's tall stature and angry face appeared like a shadow. She was so deeply asleep that her consciousness was not working. She thought that she was having a bad dream as usual where Salar was scolding her. She took a deep breath, pressed both her hands under the pillow and made a very innocent face and mumbled...
"Ugh..." Even in my dream, this Salar Lala
