The Betrayal of the Love of Aminah
Aloo Mattar

Early in the morning, Aminah was in the kitchen of the house belonging to the Sheikh family.

She has cooked dishes of Aloo mattar as well as panipuri and chapati bread.

He cooks in the morning for Shaheer Sheikh.

Following Raaida's advice to make a special meal for Shaheer Sheikh in the following days.

"Hmmm, I think this is delicious and just stay to serve it" said Aminah.

Aminah tried to be a good wife-to-be for Shaheer Sheikh.

Seemed like a pot of aloo mattar that billowed on the stove.

A plate of still-warm chapati bread and Shaheer Sheikh's favorite panipuri.

"Good morning, Aminah!", said Jannah Sheikh.

When the woman who likes to wear a saree and veil goes into the kitchen.

Aminah turned her face away from the stove and looked at Jannah Sheikh.

"Mathair.", he said.

"It's early in the morning, baby. What are you cooking?" said Jannah Sheikh.

"For mathair, I was cooking aloo mattar and chapati and panipuri bread for Shaheer", said Aminah.

"Gee ! Tumben once, Aminah ! What wind brings this good news?", said Jannah Sheikh chuckling.

"There is nothing, mathair", said Aminah.

Aminah again looked at her cooking.

Stir the aloo mattar carefully and make sure the cooking is ripe or not.

"Shaheer would love to see you cook for him, especially what you do is his favorite dish" said Jannah Sheikh.

"Does Mathair want to taste it?", asked Aminah.

"Oh, of course.., if you allow it, I will be happy to try your hand at the cuisine, Aminah", said Jannah Sheikh.

"Oh, yes, mathair, I will take it for mathair" said Aminah.

Aminah walked over to pick up the dishes that were on the kitchen table shelf.

Clean it with a hand washcloth that he took from the closet drawer and put it on the kitchen table and fill it with aloo mattar that is still warm.

Not forgetting he added chapati bread on his aloo mattar.

"Does mathair want to add it with panipuri too?", asked Aminah.

"May, if it still exists" said Jannah Sheikh.

"Yes, mathair" said Aminah.

Aminah added panipuri on a plate of food belonging to Jannah Sheikh.

"Thank you, dear" said Jannah Sheikh, smiling.

"Sama-sama, mathair" said Aminah.

Aminah placed her cooking on a silver tray.

"I want to deliver this food to Shaheer, Mathair" said Aminah.

"Alright, he seems to have woken up and sat in the family room" said Jannah Sheikh.

"Yes, thank you, mathair" replied Aminah.

Aminah walked quickly to the family room while carrying a silver tray full of food.

The hijab girl entered the family room very carefully.

Shaheer Sheikh was sitting on the sofa looking at the laptoop.

"Good morning.", said Aminah.

Shaheer Sheikh turned his head towards Aminah who was standing while carrying food trays.

"Morning..., what's the matter?", sahut Shaheer Sheikh.

The handsome man simply raised both of his eyebrows upwards without a smile.

"I... I made breakfast for you this morning and I hope you like it" Aminah said.

Aminah placed the food tray on a long table in front of Shaheer Sheikh.

"May you like my cooking" continued Aminah as she glanced at the laptoop on the table.

Aminah fell silent quickly and she stood up and stared at Shaheer Sheikh.

"I just try to look worthy in your eyes but my efforts are not meaningful to you" said Aminah.

"A-ku.", suddenly Aminah interrupted again before Shaheer Sheikh finished his sentence.

"Maybe for you I do not have the qualities that you can rely on like Anjali who is a famous artist.", continued Aminah.

Shaheer Sheikh gasped in shock and then fell silent while staring at Aminah.

"Quality may be what you are looking for from a woman but I do not have it the thing you want.., but at least please appreciate this effort of mine for our relationship to be good...", aminah.

Shaheer Sheikh was silent.

He was unable to reply to Aminah's words which insinuated him enough.

"And one more thing you need to know that I have at least tried to accept the relationship between us even though it is also very difficult for me to accept" said Aminah.

Shaheer Sheikh lowered his gaze without making a sound.

He knew that he was guilty enough of Aminah for being so cold to the beautiful hijab girl.

"I may not be as great as the others but I ask you, please don't be hostile towards me because I'm really sincere about this relationship" Aminah said.

Aminah held her breath as she spoke while staring at Shaheer Sheikh.

"Maybe to you this is just a regular joke that you often do in your life but to me this is something very serious" said the beautiful girl.

Aminah closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing then resumed her speech.

"I can't tell the difference between a love relationship or a friendship but I know that I'm not as stupid as you think I am" Aminah said.

Shaheer Sheikh was shocked to hear Aminah's remarks.

He turned his head towards Aminah and looked at her seriously.

"What are you trying to say?", asked Shaheer Sheikh.

"Can you accept me in this house?" said Aminah.

"Receive ? What do you mean?", asked Shaheer Sheikh pretending not to understand.

"Receive me as your friend, maybe !? Even though I know it cannot happen", said Aminah.

Shaheer Sheikh pensively.

It was only this first time that he saw a girl offering him a friendship.

"Friends!?", continued Shaheer Sheikh.

The handsome man was still in his seat while looking straight at Aminah.

"Hmmm, yes, my friend.", said Aminah.

Aminah nodded her head quickly while trying to smile.

"Ahk ! You are indeed a senseless girl... Didn't I tell you that I'm not interested in the relationship between us" said Shaheer Sheikh.

"I know it.", muttered Aminah.

"If you knew then why do you bother to do this if you know your efforts will not produce the results you expect!?", said Shaheer Sheikh.

"Mmmm..", muttered Aminah.

Aminah's gaze turned towards the floor of the room.

There was sadness in the heart of the hijab girl when she heard Shaheer Sheikh's answer to her.

It was as if giving a satisfaction to Aminah.

"No way, Aminah ! And I reiterate to you that one day I will break this unreal relationship, Aminah", said Shaheer Sheikh.

"But I hope someday your way of thinking will change and will probably accept it" said Aminah.

Shaheer Sheikh was visibly angered by Aminah's remarks that tried to remind him.

"And at least I've been trying so hard to maintain this relationship... Don't blame me if one day you will change your mind" said Aminah.

Aminah then walked away from the presence of Shaheer Sheikh.

Leaving the pensive handsome man alone in the living room, looking at Aminah who walked away from her speechless presence again.

Shaheer Sheikh sighed in length then looked at the tray containing his favorite food.

There was a strange feeling that suddenly permeated the mind and heart of Shaheer Sheikh at that time.
