What I Like About You
Author note:
Dear readers…wow I think the last time I wrote a word on this site was almost a year ago….and I still get sweet comments asking when it will continue and for a recap. I wanted to close it since I didn’t know a direction to take it anymore…the characters seem boring, but then I thought…the story can’t just end there…So I decided to continue. Some drastic changes will be made but don’t worry it will be easy to catch up!
First let’s do a recap!
In the first season we explored Rizwana and Uwais love story, their friendship, their fights…and ofcouse their happy ending…
In the second season, I introduce Rizwana older brother, the Badboy Ziyaad, and his past Rumaisa, and his complicated love triangle between her and her cousin Ameera.
In the third season our characters were lost in a jungle and have revealed the inside of their minds.
Let’s see some characters:
Rizu (Rizwana): Love interest is Uwais.
Ziyaad: Unknown: Exs: Rumaisa and Amy
Hamzah: Love interest is Amy
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Season 3: I am forwarding us too 5 years later!!!!!!!!!!!
Ziyaad P.O.V:
Saluting the commanding officer, being awarded a medal of honour for servicing two year under our police force for exceptional behaviour, conduct and duties.
It been three years since I become a police office. This is the first time my parents are proud of me. I decision to join the force shocked them. But I decided on choosing something I could be proud of. And this medal is a step closer to my goal.
After a touching speech by our chief, we were finally allowed to join our families.
Walking toward the small hurdle of people I knew my whole life. My sturdy independent dad, my teary eyed mother with huge smile, my heavily and emotional pregnant younger sister Rizu, who mirror mom expression and her supportive husband, my brother in law, Uwais.
Uwais: (grab my hand and drag me into a hug) Congrat man! That quite an achievement!
Dad: Yeah (gruff voice) we are extremely proud son! (Patting me on the back)
Then I am swap by the two woman in my life….
Rizu: (teary) my big bro…a medal of honour!
Mom: My beta! Ya Allah you have blessed us, May Allah keep you safe always my Ziyaado! (Kissing me all over my face as she cries with I assume more happy tears)
Me: Guys, cut it out, don’t embarrassing me. Plus you known about tonight for weeks for today you guys won’t make a fuss!
Instead of hearing my appeal they carried on fussing! Woman! Never learn…Ugh I won’t hear the end of this from the looks the other guys were giving us….
After an eventful day, I decided to take a breather and go home instead of partying it up with the others. I was exhausted from acting like today I was the happiest man. Sure I am proud of my medal…but I had no one to share in my joy…no wife like John who baked cookies for the guys when we on stake outs or girlfriend who share embarrassing memories of my childhood like Patel, who coincidentally dress up in a policeman hat and his diapers and parade around his family home when he was 5.
5 years ago…I had someone but the better man got her.
Hamzah P.O.V:
Me: Class…what I am about to tell you will shock your minds and open it to many possibilities. In my psych class we always exploring our brain motions to explain our feelings and how we react to situations. Plenty of studying material speak of hormones, a chemical reaction. We learn what make us happy or sad. How we trick and how we can determine the truth of the person mind. But for today, forget what we learnt, I want each of you to pick a partner, a friend or a student’s next to you.
After shuffling is completed the classes start whispering and waiting the next instruction from the professor
Me: excellent (silence) ok the person next to you is someone is about to become you partner in an exciting new assignment! (Class groans) But before I get there let me explain what I am on about… we always hear how people say “A boy and girl can never just be friends” due to jealous, or feelings that eventually come up. Our universe is filled with theories regarding this statement and on how it is impossible not to fall on love, or in rare cases where they say it possible to be friends, right?
Class: Right!
Me: Hmm well I am one of those believer who says a boy and girl can be friends….I believe that we are naturally social individuals and we can form lasting bonds. But I also am a believer that friends can become more, and how can I say that. Because I married my best friend, despite my beliefs. Why d0o I tell you this? Simple our lives are modest, but we are in nature complicated beings, so as a team, as a class, we going to explore this nature, and dive into exploring what it all about. Together with your partners we going to go, down in history and choose historic people who are simple just friends or friends who become partners in life, and explore their journey! And guys this isn’t on where you can copy, sooo I want original creative pieces! You have two weeks! Let start writing down history!
After a million and one questions, the class is finally dismissed and I could take my long overdue break.
I grab my phone and make a call….
Me: Slmz, hmm no I’m fine, just checking in, how our little rascal? No it fine, I just buy us take out….ok love you too!
While eating my sandwich I get a notification on Facebook…
My big bro got the medal of honour! #SoProud#Lookingsohandsome, attached with it is his picture.
Sooo Ziyaad doing well…I guess I can be happy for him…Just wish we were still friends.
5 years ago #Flashback
Me: You disgust me! She trusted you! I trusted you…
Ziyaad: It not what you think Hamzah…I really-
Me: Save it! I don’t ever want to see you again! Leave town! And never come back!
Before he could answer back, I slam the door on his face. And chased my best friend away.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Extended Author note:
Lol apologise for the double Author note, I know you guys thinking…she mad, a 5 year gap is a long long time…But I felt I need to mature my characters. Give them adults lives. Sooo I made the jump! ….lol please don’t be mad, our favourites will be returning shortly. This is just intro into our boys!
Sooo our Ziyaad is a cop….and Hamzah a psych professor….
Not what you would’ve expected right?
Please bear with me as I unfold more, today was just a glimpse. It should pick up more excitement real soon!
Btw I don’t really know anything about psych classes…that whole story line is just to give you an idea on Hamzah new direction…but if you like it, and want to know more, I will be happy to oblige with whatever imaginative explanations just for you dear readers!
Don’t forget to comments and Tweet! I would love to hear from you!

Past Memory in What I like About You
Ok folks this is date scene between our Badboy Ziyaad and His ex Rumaisa.
It was spring and the school decided to host a spring dance…Usuaslly I won’t take part, I mean it lame and probably filled with boring teachees forbidding us from doing anything remotely fun.
But it Rumaisa and I first anniversary, we been togather for over six month, I wanted to do something special and I know she loves to dance. So I bought us tickets and put hers in a small gift of with a note asking her to the dance.
She agreed and from what I hear shop up a storm getting her dress sorted. Our parents are friends and allowed us to go without a blink of an eyelash. One of my friends had a license and offer to drive us, so I weren’t have to ask my dad.
I arrived at her house, dress in tux I wore for a cousin wedding, with a corsage and a pink rose, she loved roses.
The minute the door open I felt my breath leave my body, she look breathtaking, I couldn’t keep my eyes off her, she smiled nervously and accepted my wobbly arm. We greet her parent goodbye and head for the car, when I realize I forgot to give her my gifts.
So I stop and made her face me. I first held the corsage and out it on her hand, it compliment her skin, she look radiant. Barely able to speak properly because of how nervous I was.
Me: I..uh hope you like it, mom help pick it
She smiles shyly and say she love it. But before she could move to go, I pull out the pink rose, this time I said it with confidence.
Me: a pink rose for my girl ( give her a small kiss on her cheeks that make her blush)
Rumaisa: thanks, can we please go, I think my parents are peeping ( she say with laugh)
Me: righto
Getting there, we first take our picture at the front and go and greet our friends. Not long after…our favorite songs started playing.
I took her hand and lead her to the middle of the dance floor
Me: would you honor me with a dance milady?
Rumaisa: it would be a pleasure kind sir, but I must inform you, I got two left feet.
Me: a man worth his salt can lead his lady without causing her too much of an embarrassment.
We dance a few songs, before I notice her getting tired
Me: hey let have some food and head home mmm
Rumaisa: (blushes) yes please, sorry just with the long week and stress of tonight I hardly got any sleep.
Me: it okay, I’m having fun, whether it dancing with you or just holding your hand.
We ate quickly and took a slow stroll around the hall.
Rumaisa: I know you said I shouldn’t get you anything but I did. Here
She hand me small box, inside is a coin…
Me: thanks….
Rumaisa: it been my good luck charm for years, it the first money I ever earned. I had to make my own bed…I was just six (she blushes) I always felt it was lucky, I want you have it, and please don’t give it back ever!
Me: I don’t know what to say, except I promise I won’t lose it or give it back.
…….
And his still keeps it in his wallet.

Friendship, Party with Hamzah in what I like about you
What I Like About You
Previously
The guys are safely back, Amy and Ziyaad are in hospital but are stable. Hamzah almost find out about Ziyaad and Amy past.
Chapter 4:
Ziyaad P.O.V:
Still sore from our little adventure, I walk into my lounge to watch some TV, when I noticed I had an unexpected visitor…Rumaisa.
Rumy: Hey…
Me: Hey what you doing here?
Rumy: well after visiting you in hospital these last few days, I realize something, we might not ever get back together, but doesn’t mean we can’t be friends…I know we both been through a lot…but we hang out in the same group and it always just awkward…if we mend our bridges will make it easier don’t you agree?
Me: I know that friendship means a lot to you, so to offer me after what I did took a lot of guts. I appreciate you trying but right now I’m in no position to be a friend… I was a jerk, I took you for granted and when you left not even considering what I thought was a romantic proposal, made me sort of a player…I can’t afford to get close to anyone Rumy…I been hurt too many times…I hated everyone. I first need to make amends Rumy, so please accept my apology, I was harsh only because I truly loved you…I still love you and in some ways I will always…so please forgive me?
Rumy: (teary eyes) Oh Ziyaad, Ofcouse I forgive you, I forgave you the minute I came back and saw what I had done…it pains me to know what I losted…what we had was great, but it the past and shouldn’t take part of our future…So please let be friends and forgive me for what I had done, I promise I won’t go overboard?
Me: Well since you asked nicely, but I’m afraid you won’t be able to stop going overboard, after all I know you too well, and I think when I found myself these last couple of months, I learnt to let go…so I also forgave you a long time ago…
Rumy: Oh Ziyaad!
We hugged and had frank conversation for the first time in years. We had a lot to catch up on.
Amy P.O.V:
After getting discharge I decided to take charge and appreciate those around me, starting with my parents, and then Hamzah.
I will no longer be tempted by the past…only the present and future matter.
So after having spent two whole days with the folks, I made date plans with Hamzah…My treat ofcouse…I plan on taking him to his favourite restaurant, than I hired an action comedy to watch with him at home. Everything was set, except Mr Hamzah was a no show….
I tried his cell which was off, his parents didn’t answers leading me to believe they were gone somewhere and few friends that didn’t know anything, no one seen him since this morning…
I finally decided to ask Ziyaad…
Me: Hey Ziyaad, it Amy I don’t know where Hamzah is, we were supposed to meet tonight? Any idea where he is?
Ziyaad: Nope sorry, I haven’t seen or heard from him since last night, did you try his house?
Me: Yeah there no one answering
Ziyaad: that weird, I wil- (I heard rush loud voices in the background) hey listen I’m going over to his place why don’t you meet me there?
Me: Ok, Uh Ziyaad what with the noise in the background?
Ziyaad: oh uhm… Just some of the soccer guys are over. See you there, bye.
He cut before I could reply. That weird and why are the guys there…it a week night
I get my mom to drive me through, it seem quite I quickly text Ziyaad that I’m outside, his reply was that he is inside already and I should come through…
So I enter when…..
Everyone I know screams Surprise!!!!!!!!!
Hamzah smiles and walk over
Hamzah: Hey babe, Congrats on making it to third year! Your mom told me you got your results, I am so proud of you, so I decided to throw an impromptu party for you, I hope you don’t mind me abducting your night for us….
Me: Oh Hamzah! Thank you, this is really sweet! Ofcouse I don’t mind, how can a girl say no to her beau spoiling her!
After chatting, dancing and eating, our dear guests started disappearing, leaving only Hamzah, me, and our parents behind…The adults decided to go for quick drive for some ice cream, allowing me some quite time with Hamzah to watch the movie I hired, luckily I brought it along. Our parents trust us, which gave us the motivation never to break it. We sat and watch in silent just enjoying each other company….
Me: Hamzah…How did I get so lucky to have you in my life, thanks for tonight. I wanted us to spend more time together, being lost made me realize how important my family, you and my friends are.
Hamzah: Nope (he smiles and kisses my hand) I am the lucky one…
Author note:
Well bridges are certainly starting to mend for our favourite characters, but this lead up to them staying that way? Let me know what you guys think?
Isn’t Hamzah so sweet, celebrating her success?

TLC (tender loving care) in what I like about You
What I Like About You
Chapter 3:
Amy P.O.V:
We just enter the sight, when Ziyaad faints!
I scream to get someone attention…
After explaining what happened they figure his just extremely exhausted but to be on the safe side they were going to take him to nearest hospital since I had an injury they took me along too. They took Ziyaad and I haven’t heard a thing…it been an hour since I been treated….
Me: Nurse please where is my friend! I need to know if his okay!
Nurse: I know you are worried but I have no information, you must please wait for the doctor to tell you himself…He should be back just now, now please stay calm. We have informed both your parents and should be on their way.
After what felt like forever, the Doctor tending to Ziyaad comes in…But he seem kind of like he bearing bad news
Doc Asmal: Slmz I’m Doctor Asmal, I hear you enquiring about Ziyaad, is he a relative?
Me: His a friend, we were lost in the forest together, please doc, tell me his okay?!
Doc Asmal: His been through a bad dehydration faze, plus with his fractured knee, he was in pretty bad shape, but his is stable and under observation, I see no further complications, some liquids and rest, he will be fine. He will only be allowed visitors tomorrow, so please inform his parents of what I told you, I have to go, otherwise I would’ve spoke to them.
I didn’t know he hurt his knee…He didn’t even give me a clue…I started teary up. Luckily my parents and his come so I couldn’t think to long about it, after explaining what happening I kind of felt bad for Ziyaad parents they must be beside themselves with worries.
Me: hey how are the others?
Mom: they fine honey, they all back…They come see you in the morning.
Me: Aren’t I’m coming home now?
Mom: According to the nurse, they want to keep you for one night, you also had severe dehydration. Don’t worry I will bring you fresh clothes tomorrow early, so you can go home and bath! Love you honey!
Me: Okay, please tell Ziyaad parents, he was very brave, if it wasn’t for him, we weren’t have made it to the camp back.
Mom: okay honey I will tell them, Allah Shukr you’ll all made it safely back.
They gave me a sedative to sleep. I was knocked out I didn’t hear I had an unexpected visitor….who supposed to be in bed!
Ziyaad P.O.V:
All I could remember before the hospital, was the dense forest and Amy heartbeats…Once I had awoken I was told to rest and no one would tell me about Amy or the others. Luckily one of the night nurse was sweet enough to take me to see Amy who look like a sweet angel, fast asleep in bed.
Making sure she seem fine, I was escorted back and give what I can only imagine, a big injection that a sedative to sleep…and I was knocked out.
Hamzah P.O.V:
After we all rush to see what the screaming was about, I was relieved to see that Amy was alright, but seeing Ziyaad knocked out, I was scared. I never seen him in such bad condition. After they rushed him and Amy to the nearest hospital, the rest of us, took a car and head back.
After hearing both were fine, we were told just to go home, we will go and see them first thing tomorrow. I remembered Uwais wanting to tell me something. I decided to leave it…it probably nothing. Plus being sm0ther by my mother didn’t help. Let just say I had a king’s supper before put to bed with lots of water on the bedside table and a tablet for the pain. Let just say my mother is a medication cabinet, ask for any tablet she will probably have it. My personal pharmacy.
Author note:
Hmmm I think maybe Hamzah need to ask Uwais…Do you think Amy will develop a hero crush on Ziyaad? Or will this make them realize their true feelings?

Is this real? in what I like about you
chapter 2:
Ziyaad P.O.V:
after our little agreement…Amy was extremely quite…I guess I must have scared her. But I cant deal and be calm if I started going soft now. We all been lost over 12 hours, we should’ve been hearing search teams or even the camp site…and there been nada. Either we further than I though or we going the wrong direction.
Amy: I’m thirsty…
Me: me too…wait here I will get us some water
after search I found a stream that seem safe enough, so I called Amy over and we both took turns drinking. it was really refreshing. I suggest we rest a little while so that I could get my bearings… what was it about the sun, shadows and direstions…damn I should’ve paid more attention when Hamzah talks…ai
Amy: We lost aren’t we…
Me: No I jus-
Amy: No need to lie…we been gone for over 12 hours now…we should’ve hear a rescue team by now atlest…but it been dead silence.
Me: Well it could be because you weren’t talking (trying to joke)
Amy: this is no time to be calm! I get you have to macho and all but seriously! we either lost or you really know how to get out of here and taking the longest route!
Me: damn it, do you think I want to prolong our suffering, you are hurt…and I might be little lost but no need for panic attack! I will figure something out, so just chill and give me a minute!
Amy: That trick wont work, we don’t know whether the camp south or north?
Me: That isn’t the problem, I just checking how much sun we have left, because we cant travel in the dark…
Amy: Oh…uhm Ziyaad do you think they alright?
Me: Im sure everyone is fine…Hamzah know his way around these hoods
Amy: it not him im worried about, it Rizu and them…I mean they aren’t exactly cut out for a trip like this…and I-
Me: she fine, she got Uwais, I know the guy, he will look after her…now let start walking while we still have light
Amy: ok…and thank, I glad I got stuck with you…
Me: let hope your faith in me is worth it…let go
Rizu P.O.V:
Looks like we the first to return after the river rafter ordeal…I couldn’t see my brother and the rest of the guys, I started to worry…after all it been eight whole hours since I returned and there been no sightings of him and Amy…Luckily the guys found Hamzah and Rumy and few others…but my bro…I hope his ok! Because if anything happens to him, I will bring him back to kill him myself!
Hamzah and Rumy weren’t in good shape, seem they walked quite a distance…So they weren’t much help whether or not my bro and Amy survived the ordeal, but in my heart I knew he was out there…
it was almost dusk when the last of the rescue teams returned. I waited anxiously to see whether they found them…But nothing…they only two people, and both were the rescue team members
me: Uwais…what if-
Uwais: hey, don’t think like that, Your brother is the strongest guy I know, I’m sure his just walking slow to not male it harder on Amy, listen (holding my head) His out there and we will find him!
me: I’m really worried Uwais, they been missing almost 20 hours…they have no food, water or anything ( I started crying, the stress of not knowing his ok was getting to me)
Uwais: hey no tears…His a resourceful guy, Im sure they will get the necessities needed!
just than Hamzah awoke, he came over to check on us and ask about Ziyaad
Me: no news…It been-
Uwais: It been a long day, Hamzah I think it best if you rest up, as soon as there news I will come and tell you
Hamzah: I know, it just I’m worried about Amy…I hope she and Ziyaad are together…because guys trust me wasn’t easy in that forest…
Uwais: yeah, but Amy is with Ziyaad…because he won’t leave her alone ever…
Hamzah: The way you said, almost sound like you implying he like her…
Me: He meant like a sister, right? (I gave him my best stern look)
Uwais: Actually bra-
before Uwais could answer, we hear a shout just outskirts of the forest, sounded like Amy!
