The next morning
Maaz woke up, he walked in the bathroom and freshened up himself, after a while he walked back in his room wearing, a muted grey jacket, cut in a boxy silhouette with a crisp collar and elastic cuffs, layered over a deep black turtleneck, wide-leg black trousers and a sleek black wrist watch, he applied perfume and a ting sound of notification catch his attention, he looked back at the bed and grabbed his phone, he opened the message and saw his secretary message informing him about today's orphanage event, which he really forgot. Maaz opened Ayzal's chat, and he texted her "morning! hey buttercup? I'll be a bit late today, is that allowed majesty" he send the message with an emoji that blowing red heart. Ayzal who was still half sleepily sitting on the bed, forcing herself to rise and shine, she looked at her phone as it ting and she opened her phone and saw maaz message, she sighed softly and opened the notification, she read his texted and rolled her eyes, Ayzal texted him back "no need to pick me up today". On the other hand, maaz saw her message and joined his eyebrows in confusion and texted back "why? Do you again got angry dear buttercup, but I swear it was a request, if you want I can drop you" Ayzal got his message her thumbs were above the keyboard, she read his message and her thumbs kept moving on the keyboard while she was thinking what to answer, she decided to keep it simple and answered back "no, it's okay I have some other work, so I won't go to the office" maaz got her message and shrugged his shoulders and walked out of his room for breakfast.
Ayzal POV
I walked downstairs still in my PJ's and sat down on the chair while saying Assalam as I saw my mother was helping maids preparing breakfast, she moved her attention towards me with a small smoothing calm smile and answered back to me with salam, my father also came out of his room and sat down on the head chair and spoke while looking up and down at my PJ's "aren't you going to the office today?" I shook my head and spoke while grabbing the butter knife from the holder and grabbed the piece of slice and continued "no dad, my kids are missing me so much so I need to meet them" dad just slightly nodded when my mother joined the conversation and spoke "dear, just sent money what's the need to go there, you know how much time they take" I felt so bad at her words because I love to spend time with my kids and I give her a disproving gaze and silently moved my attention back to the breakfast.
i finished my breakfast and got up while saying "I'm going to get ready then I'll leave" my mother nodded but my father suddenly said "maaz is gonna drop you?" I looked back at him and shook my head and spoke "no I'll do the cab besides he is busy today" I ended the conversation in short terms and walked back inside my room, I booked a cab for myself and rushed inside the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and took a quick shower and changed my PJ's into a simple clothes, after a few mins I hurried and rushed out of the bathroom as the cab driver was already waiting for me outside, I walked towards my closet and wore a flowing abaya of deep, earthy brown drapes gracefully from shoulder to hem, its generous cut framing the lighter, sand-hued dress beneath. Wide cuffs, banded with cream and matching brown stripesfront opening, the edged in the same soft cream, draws a clean vertical line that elongates the silhouette. My hair and neck was securely covered by a pale colour hijab while was also draping over my chest and back. I looked at myself in the mirror and took a picture of myself with a satisfying smile, I grabbed my hand bag and phone and walked out of my house. I was feeling genuinely happy after meeting the most favourite people of my life. I immediately got in the cab and after half an hour I reached my desire destination and I walked inside that big house with a bright wide smile, as I heard suppressing sound of kids laughter.
Author's POV
Maaz got ready and saw his secretary and manager walked inside his house, he looked at them and nodded signalling to leave for the orphanage. As they walked towards Mercedes AMG GT 63, driver was sitting in the driving seat waiting for them, his secretary sat down in the front passenger seat while maaz and his manager sat down at the back seat.
After a silent ride, they reached in front of the orphanage. Maaz got out of the car while a small smile started lingering on his face, as he walked inside, as they reached near the main door, a group of woman greeted them and took them inside the orphanage when maaz said "if you don't mind I wanna meet the kids before" an old woman who is the care taker there spoke "sure, and you know what, a donator is also here, it would be her pleasure if you meet her," maaz nodded curiously and spoke "of course I'm looking forward to meet her and saw who is taking care of my kids."
Everyone walked towards the garden when maaz saw a girl wearing abaya was greeting kids and all the kids were practically all over her, while her back was facing him. The care taker Sarah, walked towards the girl and crouched down beside her and patted her shoulder and spoke "Ms Ayzal, the owner of the orphanage wanna meet you".
On the other hand, as Ayzal walked inside the orphanage and immediately went into the garden to meet kids, as kids looked at her, they immediately ran towards her with wide smiles on their innocent face and hugged her as she crouched down for them and giggled completely loving herself around them, when caretaker asked her to meet the owner of the orphanage, she nodded and spoke "I'll meet the owner after greeting all of them" Sarah nodded and walked away, while Ayzal sat down on the grass and made three small kids sit on her lap while the other kids were sitting in front of her at the grass, after having a small talk, she stood up and turned around while saying "where is miyesha?" Ayzal's smile suddenly dropped as she turned around and saw maaz was walking to the management of the orphanage and her mind immediately clicked that indeed he is the owner, while maaz also turned his face towards her and they both held eye contact.
"Every time you look at me, I feel like I've just stepped into my favorite chapter."
Love you honeybees.
