Hailey Roosevelt's pov :
It was 8 o clock ,almost everyone in our family was up from the dining table here I was ,overwhelmed with emotions which I couldn't even understand . I feel it is more difficult to hide something ,normally I am a lone wolf but today my face was telling a tale .I was tired coming home, pretending to happy and delusional as if they won't ever come across this act the next day, when they will be called upon by Xavier abied. I wish we could undo days and if we could ,I would choose to ignore such morons. nothing could have been like this . I could breathe . I was feeling conjusted with the burden of my past, I believed everyone must be talking about me . I was anxious .I was continously checking my phone for jack's message , I knew if we didn't talk today ,things will always be unsaid , anxious between us . we barely knew each other .
my first impression, he ugly advertisement of my life was in front of him . Would he be able to get off this from his head ? Will he even read someone like me ? . I am not that kind of woman who likes to portray herself emotionally available. I believe people use holy rivers to cleanse thier sins ,I have been polluted for so long. I saw people using my innocence to get best of my soul ,My heart and my body . There's always other side of story and I was the giver for all of them . Emma intrupted my lay lined thoughts .
Emma- " heyy you ,look Hailey .we have another visitor " ( jokingly )
Hailey:" stop messing with me Emma " ( Hailey gets up rolling her eyes ,suspecting it is not that visitor she is talking about )
A strong muscular yet heavy Hand covers my eyes .
Alex :" common girleee! Guess who ! "
Hailey : " after hearing your voice, anybody could have caught you ,Mr. Rockstar " Alex Wright " . ( hesitating a little bit )
Alex: " dear Hailey, I think we have had enough blast for today it is time for some peaceful sight seeing " .
Emma :" go and get ready dress code is abayas with scarf ,the ethnic chic babyyy"
Hailey:" I just only have one ,you know it already " .
Emma :" so only one is needed Dumbo " .
I go to my room and find my red Abaya. The only one I brought . It was a berry red . I asked for a matching scarf from my mother. It was my first permitted night out " .
Meanwhile Alex and emma are sitting on the sofa :
Emma : " did you inform Harrison about the timmings ,we don't have much and it depends upon Hailey if she really wants to see him right now "?
Alex :" yes ,the man was literally puzzled up, I had to tell him the plan for three times ,don't be so silly Emma, she is your own sister ".
Emma :" I hope they end this loop of confusion . "
I entered wearing my red Abaya with golden earings pairing it up with red classic gloss and a scarf from my mother . I wasn't sure about the earings but I carried them in my bag. Finally my mood was a little better .I was having a surprise escape . Alex and emma were admiring me . I know red looks good on me .... I hope it doesn't turn out unlucky .

Hailey- " so where are we going ?"
Alex and emma together say -" the place of our old tales and fantasies " .
Alex opens the door of his car of us .
As soon as we headed towards Omar Street I was able to sense the destination but I was very tired to be exicted I was looking at the road and cars passing by ,i wanted to open the window ,it was 40 degrees outside . that would be mean for the other two who were constantly cracking jokes trying to make me smile and I did after all they are my people . Soon those nine minutes and 6.6 kms were over . Alex parked his car at least 2 kilometers away while walking towards the street

I was wondering how would katara village look at night near by the beach ,surrounded with dome like old structured buildings illustrated with Arabic poetry ,the beautiful golden buildings shinning around with small shops of traditional accessories, gold shops .
I was admiring if I was entering into a palace, if I was a queen roaming around ,standing near by the window where my silhouette distracts my king in the garden ,holding beautiful lilis in a tray along with jewels and dates . I was fantasizing so much and yet I was having visuals of someone I wanted to talk to . After the chaos .
Hailey - " so Emma, you could have told me earlier If Jack was invited? "
Alex -" only I insisted her to do so . Stop behaving like this Hailey. You deserve to be understood and you guys deserve to be releived " .
Emma -" yes and Hailey if you weren't comfortable he would leave right Jack " ? "
Jack -" offcourse, I understand " .
Hailey -" I want to talk to you Jack, spare us ".
Alex-" alright guys ,give us a call " .
I was walking with Jack for the first time he was shinning even in black formals, I wasn't able to look into his eyes but I noticed he was trying to do so . We couldn't just get straight to the topic . We Casually started a conversation .
Jack -" so Hailey...how are you now "?
Hailey -" I don't know what happens tomorrow "
Jack-" I am already prepared to be suspended .lol .I could have to live in some other property " . " relax Hailey " .
Hailey -" you and I are very different Jack, my family would be so worried ,my mother might change my college too " .
Jack -" this much of interference "?
Hailey -" to heavy to spoil this night " .
Jack-" as you say so " .
Things were a little bit nervous yet awkward between us . A old women was approaching towards us carrying a camera,she had a dusky skin tone with long eyes, thin nose and plump lips " , " she was selling scarfs and clicking photographs " .she insisted us to click one .Jack agreed he asked me to click one but I asked him to come in the photograph .he stood nearby me . She clicked a Polaroid for us .

Jack took out his wallet and my hands were already in my purse . I asked him to divide it but he didn't agree ,he said he would take the money later. The woman smiled at us and said "
ثنائي مثالي، بارك الله فيكم.
thunayiy mithali, bark allah fikum.
Translation : perfect couple, may god bless you both ! . I was fumbling I....we... . She waved us and she disappeared among other sellers . I could spot his smile ,he was looking at me and I was being red like a tomato .
Jack -" this much shy ,Hailey "? " is this you ? " .
Hailey-" yes I do act cheesy sometimes ".
Jack-" not cheesy but cute ! Not expected from you " .
Hailey-" ugh embarrassed " .
Jack-" being old school isn't something embarrassing ".
Hailey -" I am an old school lover " .?
Jack -" common Hailey, you are a combination of both " .
A awkward silence was taking place between us as it was our first meet ,without the chaos. My heart was beating loud and after looking at each other 'faces .mine with crimson blush and his with natural glow . We both were sweating a bit .
Jack -" let's walk till the edge of beach " .
Hailey -"exactly ,on the wooden platform near by ,we can enjoy some snacks as well " .
Jack and I started walking towards the platform near by beach we could spot beautiful lights and the reflection of them ,sand . Everything was more delightful than ever . Jack was walking a bit fast ,I stopped him .
Hailey:- jaccckkkkk!
Jack - oh understood, little fairy ! A red one ! .
Hailey- " hahaha ,not very funny Jack. Better match my frequency else you know very well " .
Jack-" challenging Harrison pookie " ,"else what "? " I am really good at both weight lifting and running " .
Hailey -" I think we are having enough for today Jack " .
We reached to the platform, we were feeling the waves when Jack and I was there again in the same position he was resting his back sitting to the edge of platform and I was next to him . Jack was looking at me to start and I didn't knew how to .
Jack -" we are done pretending ,this flirting, this spark ,there's something else I want to know.
Hailey -" exactly, there are confessions I wanna make " .
Hailey-" Jack this is the only event I would like to talk about it and I hope this information stays among us ,the only reason I am telling you these things are because you fought for me without knowing the whole story and other people including my family shutted up ,knowing the whole story ". Even Emma doesn't know about it " .Jack I would just tell you for the first and last time only about it ! That's it ! .
Jack I was bullied in school for my looks and physique, I was involved with a old toxic ex and rumors were spread to the end I was harassed by my classmates during a physical education lesson I was standing on the last number of que ,a small highted boy was standing behind me first his friends pushed him over me and then he touched my....I couldn't say... (after a pause with tears in my eyes .).my hips . My teacher tore my complaint as it was her friend's son . I died each day ,I hated my skin ...I was disgusted for the first time it happened, I wanted to end myself and when I gathered the courage to speak ,I was defined as " slut". They made me hate my school ...I hate my school...( tears were rolling down my cheeks ) . I could spot my hands shaking and they were calm as they were gripped between Jack 's big hands. Jack's collars were wet now .
it was comforting for me after so many years...I kept my head over a strong male figure .I don't even remember when I hugged my dad last time. We both parted after few seconds . I was waiting for him to say something.
Jack:"don't worry Hailey,there's a right time for everything, how long can he run " ?
Hailey :"I don't have much time Jack, I don't even have a second to bother ,to involve myself into the loop again " ,I have no time to hide myself from men ".
Jack : "right now ,I want you to just calm down Hailey! I will find something! .
My phone was buzzing yes it was no other than Emma.
Emma -" damn, having a good time with Harrison at the shore "?
Alex:" mannnnnnn,I couldn't believe it .let me process this "
Hailey:" stop it Emma, were you following me ?( hailey looks all around then spots the two little bunnies )
Jack -" heyyy Emma, stop intrupting us " (Jack laughs and smirks) "don't you know disturbing two love birds at an odd hour is bad manners 😉 "?
Alex and Hailey -"then give us a treat ,duh ".
I snatch away the phone . Enough of fun guys ! ( I realized Jack was truly a mess maker) .
Jack was going to say something but I intruped him .
Hailey :" so no more heat ups ,friends Jack "?
Jack rolled out laughing he took a deep breath and said in his deep echoing voice.
Jack :" alright Hailey!."
We were walking towards the street again ,I couldn't process what all happened today ,I know it could be a sleepless night, i know I was going to read a lot of poetry today . I hope I didn't realize it was a kind of feeling ,I have experienced before :) . I was so lost.
Emma covered my eyes from behind and I knew it was her .
Alex :" so guyss, not in a mood to call it a night "? Hailey, Jack " or hijack "?
Emma :OMG! That sounds so bad Alex, don't even try .HACK sounds better 😌.
Hailey :" Jack please give these delulus a reality check "?
Jack :(wondering ) "HACK "?
Hailey :"whattt "? ( I hit him around his shoulder ) .
Jack : indeed HACK sounds better no !
Flashbacks:
While Jack and Hailey were busy . Emma and Alex were exploring around together . Emma has a heart of child. She never stopped talking and Alex didn't stop listening .
Alex brought his guitar luckily . They were sitting at the second wooden block . Almost invisible from Hailey and Jack. Alex's Almond eyes were shinning at the night admist those stars .Emma was talking about the beauty of the village. Alex continued the conversation further .
Emma -" the village is underatted yet the most beautiful hidden part of Qatar, isn't it " ?
Alex :" Emerson ,Elleelena, the moon is beautiful today,isn't it "?

Emma :" whattt ,I wasn't talking about the moon and you called me Emerson suddenly, why "?
Alex : hahaha you are too innocent! Emma!I mean yes the village is very beautiful and underrated, but that's the beauty of it . Raw ,unmixed and least perfect among the shinning modern buildings of Qatar. Do you know why did I suggest you this place?
Emma :" why ,Alex "?
Alex:" this place gives me hope ,ideas and composition. My grandfather used to have his own band show here near by the museum,using traditional Arabic instruments.later on it was banned to perform music publicly " .
Emma :" did that stop him tho "?
Alex :" no it doesn't, he recorded many casetes with none other than faiz Ahmed khan " .
Emma:" wow,talent in genes huh ."
Alex :" yess I have a hidden talent to handle you too ! " ( in a playful way )
Emma:" oh ,am I that bad ?
Alex :" Dumbo, that's what makes me stick to you since the first day "," I am an artist, I only prefer ,what hits here in my heart " ( he touches his heart ) .
Emma :" oh ,matters of heart"?
Alex :" what about your heart ,lilac fantasy?"

Emma:" oh does this shade bother you ? About my heart, I really don't know .I never had any boyfriend till now ,I know it's unbelievable but .."
Alex :" thank God this ain't your matching lip color to this Abaya, no no I truly believe that ".
Emma :" shut up Alex ".
Alex :" just joking ,tonight even the moon seems faded in front of you ."
Emma:"ugh ! Why did you bought your guitar here ,to flaunt? ,sing something at least " .
Suddenly a cold wave appears to be in the air ,Emma feels a little bit scared " .
Alex :" sure ,I wanted to "
Alex starts playing his guitar to the tune of the song iraaday by Abdul Hannan

کیسے کہوں میں تم سا کوئی، کوئی نہ ہے
میں تیرے آس پاس رہوں، دل ویراں ہے
جذبات میرے سبھی، تُو ہی جانے
جتنا بھی دیکھوں، دل بھر نہ پائے
کیسا سماں ہے، ہم تم یہاں ہیں
ظاہر کروں کیا ہیں جو میرے اِرادے
تیرے حوالے میں کسی بہانے
ظاہر کروں کیا ہیں جو میرے اِرادے
میرے، میرے اِرادے
ایسے یوں گُنگُناتا رہوں تیرے لیے میں
چاہوں کہ مجھ تک رہیں تیری نگاہیں
کیسے میں کہوں؟
کیسے میں یہ کہوں، اثر جو تیرا میرے دل پہ ہوا ہے؟
کیسا سماں ہے، ہم تم یہاں ہیں
دل کی پکار تو سُن لے نا
تیرے حوالے میں کسی بہانے
ظاہر کروں کیا ہیں جو میرے اِرادے
Translation In English:
How do I say there is No one like you ,
I want to stay close to you ,
My heart is empty ,
You know all about my feelings ,
No matter how much I look at you,
My heart wants more of it ,
What a lovely time it is ,
Both you and me are here ,
Do I confess my intentions for you ?
Finding any excuse to be yours,
Do I confess my intentions ?
My intentions for you .
I wish I keep singing for you ,
I wish I could be spotted in your eyes,
How do I say this ?
How do I say this?
Effect of you on my heart ...
Emma: anyway guys , I will have a chat with Hailey later, so Hailey " .
Hailey:" I am hungry " .
Jack:" I know a very famous ice cream parlor near by the museum, lets cool down Hailey's little stomach " ,"you love some chills down near by..your stomach " . Right Hailey "?
Alex :" hahaha ,you don't miss a chance Jack. Do you "?
Emma : (coughs ) " we all are in a public place guys and I could spot arabs giving us some weird looks " .
That was something I never expected from Jack. The more he was unfolding, the more I got surprised. We all could never imagine him like this especially I, seeing him bonding with my friends, I was adoring the person he was in front of me ,was it only for me ? .
