Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 14
The entire ride felt a lot slower than
usual for some strange. Maye because
Farid haven’t said anything and neither
have I. Why was the energy between us
shifting all a sudden? I have never been
close to any guy until him. Farid has
definitely been with a lot of girls so
when he says things like I am his and
the way he looks at me, how is any of
that different? Once we leave from here
I am sure everything will be back to
normal. I’ll go back to being me, a loner
in college and he’ll be one of the popular
guys. This is all a cliché.
‘We are here’ Farid said, snapping me
back to reality.
‘Hmm…Thanks’ I stepped out of his car
and started walking towards the door.
I heard him stepping out of his car and
even though he didn’t tell me to stop I
still stopped walking and turned out.
Some part of me wanted to stay behind
just to talk to him some more.
‘You forgot your purse’ He pushed my
clutch forward to hand it over to me.
‘Ahh…thanks’ I smiled at him and both of
us stood there looking at each other
which felt like an eternity.
‘I better go’ I said breaking the silence.
‘Listen, can we meet tomorrow?’ He
asked me.
‘Yes we are all going out for dinner
tomorrow anyways, I’ll be there.’
‘No, I mean alone’ His voice became
huskier or maybe it’s just me ears.
‘Oh’
‘I understand if you are not comfortable
but it’s really important’ He looked
straight into my eyes and I could tell
whatever he wants to tell me is
important.
‘Okay’
‘Really?’ He smiled at me as if he wasn’t
expecting that answer.
‘Yeah’ I looked down feeling shy all of a
sudden. Was this too fast? Is it all my
imagination?
‘Okay, I’ll pick you up around 5pm and
we’ll go to the dinner together from
there?’
‘Sure, where will we be going?’ I asked
feeling curious.
‘It’s a secret’ He winked at me and
walked back to his car and drove off.
I had such a goofy smile on my face
when I entered my room and saw my
reflection in the mirror. Is that how
Sobia look when people mention Rafay’s
name in front of her?
I touched my blushed cheeks to get rid
of the bright pink colour, but it was no
use.
I changed my clothes and walked back
downstairs where everyone was sitting.
As soon as Sobia saw me she grabbed
my hand and pulled me back our
bedroom upstairs.
We both sat on her bed; she grabbed
her pillow and candy jar from her
nightstand as if she is waiting for a
movie to start. I just sat there looking at
her thinking how big of a loser my best
friend really is.
‘Don’t act like an idiot’ I said while
grabbing the candy jar from her hand
and putting it back on the nightstand.
‘Shut up… don’t you dare call me an idiot
while you are looking like one yourself’
She snapped at me.
‘Fine, what do you want to know?’ I
gave up.
‘What happened between the two of
you today?’ Sobia asked me with her big
brown eyes popping out with
excitement.
‘Nothing happened, he just gave me a
ride home’ I looked down at my hands
hoping she would leave the topic alone.
‘I may look stupid, but I am not. I can tell
when you are lying my friend. C’mon tell
me the truth.’ Sobia was honestly not
going to take no for an answer.
‘Fine, he gave me ride home and said he
wants to meet me tomorrow because he
has something important to tell
me…now can you stop asking me all of
these questions… I really don’t know
what’s going on between the two of us.
It’s just that …I don’t know I feel weird
when he is around, and it feels a lot
weirder when I don’t see him. Allah…I
don’t know what happened. When he
told me to meet him tomorrow, I said
yes not because he asked me to …I said
yes because I wanted to’ I spat all these
words in a single breath and Sobia
looked as if ice cold water was thrown
at her.
‘You are in so much trouble’ Sobia
grabbed my hands and squeezed them
tighter.
‘Don’t I know it…’ I said hopelessly.
