The next day, I was showing all the photos to Lia,

"Isn't he looking handsome, Lia?"

I asked her zooming one of Sid's pic which we took yesterday.

"Him?"

she asked me while giving his pic a even more crucial glance.

"Well, he is handsome..."

Just then Mike made his way to his seat crossing us.

"...But Mike is the best!" Lia concluded.

"What! Can't you see how perfect he is?" I said to her, showing his pic again.

"That doesn't matter, you like him; I like Mike, that's it!" she said with a shrug.

"But Mike doesn't like you that way!" I said.

"That doesn't matter, I will make him fall for me!" she said with a wink.

I gave her a tight smile. Then we continued with our normal chats.

Just then I found something strange, someone over the window was looking at me. When I found that that guy was staring at me, he suddenly disappeared.

"You okay Mina?"

Lia asked me.

"I think someone was watching me this whole time!"

"Where?"

she asked me, turning around to check who it was.

"Over the window!"

I replied and got up from my seat, to move out of the class.

Before I could see who it was, the teacher enters the classroom so I could not find who it was. Later I totally forgot about that.

That evening, when I reached home and got refreshed before I could complete my homework, Aaysha entered my room.

"Mina, come let's go to Pizza Planet."

"I would like to join you, but I am engaged with my work."

"It's an order and not a choice, okay?" she said.

"I have plenty to complete!" I was trying to make her understand.

"Okay we'll catch up later!" she said and was about to leave the room before I asked...

"Is Sid and Arshad coming too?"

"Not Arshad, he is busy with his fiancé over the phone"

"What about Sid?" I asked her.

"Of course, he was the one who planned it" she said.

"Really, he is coming too?" I asked her with excitement.

I completely forgot what I was doing at that moment.

"Why are you so excited Mina?" She asked me.

"Really am I looking excited?"

I tried to converse her to prevent her thinking weird of me. But the way I tried to get over this, was really weird than how she could have actually thought.

"Okay! So I'm asking for the last time, you're coming or not?"

"Of course yes!" I replied with a big smile.

"Then what about your homework?"

"Forget it! I will take care, I am really hungry now, let's get there fast!"

She gave me a confused look,

"5 minutes and you're done right?"

she said and left the room.

After she left the room, I was looking in my closet for the best dress, but I couldn't find any, other than a pile of unwanted dresses. I don't know why I bought them when they are of no use to me!

Finally, I got one; I dressed up fast and stood before the mirror to have a final glance of my face.

I wore a black sleeveless top, over that a pink crop top and a black jean which was upto my knees. I wore a messy bun; well my normal bun looks messy so it automatically become a messy bun. Then I headed downstairs.

"You look pretty Mina!" Aaysha said.

"Really thanks." I could see Sid staring me at the corner of my eye. This is what I wanted, I need his attention.

"How we're going?" I asked them.

"Motorcycle?" Sid asked.

Bike? wow that would look so romantic, I was imagining Sid and me heading fast in a motorcycle, so fast that the road catches fire, but my imaginations were crushed when my father says to take his car.

"Is our car in a good condition?"

I asked my father because it will never be!

"Yes, I got it repaired last week, I thought I could give you a surprise!" he said very proudly.

Weird, our car gets normal only at opposite situations.

I gave a forced smile, what else can I do?

Sid catches the car key from my father and we trios left the house. Sid was going to drive, I got the seat beside him and Aaysha was sitting behind.

It was not that boring, we did car pooling and sang our favorite songs, I tried my best to converse with Sid. He was really fun type and the best thing I like in him was; he laughs for all the small and silly things which I tell him, damn how can anyone look so cute and hot at the same time. Wished it would last forever.

We reached the restaurant, while we were parking the car, I saw a tall boy over the phone, could not get through his face, cause he was wearing a hoodie.
It was only after I got down I realized, that boy was Mike!

"You invited him too?" I asked Sid in surprise.

"Yes! I thought it might be more fun." He replied.

Great! now they both will talk with each other and I have to sit watching their blabbering mouths.

"Hey Mina, I never thought of seeing you here" Mike said.

"So do I." I said with a grin.

We entered in and got a table. We ordered our foods and were chatting. Mike and Sid were sitting opposite to us both. Suddenly Aaysha whispered something to me,

"Have you ever had any crush on Mike?"

"What!"

I shouted.

"What happened?" Sid asked.

I shook my head no.

"She gets crazy sometimes, just ignore her!" Mike said teasingly.

I frowned at him.

"Look, how can I get crush on someone who teases me like this?"

I whispered back to Aaysha. But she was busy laughing at his stupid mock on me.

In the middle of this, I saw a similar girl in the same restaurant,

It was Lia!

Why is everything happening at the same time!

I tried to cover my face from her, because if she finds me with Sid, she will surely start to tease me, I hate those awkward situations. I covered my face with the menu card, she was about to leave, before that Mike called out her name,

Din't I say he is a crack head?

"Hey Lia!"

"Will a girl refuse to come if her crush calls?

Definitely no!

she came to our table with a lit up face, I was banging my head in the menu card and was cursing this stupid Mike in my mind.

"Oh! Hi Mike, I never expected you to be here!" she started in her flirty tone.

Her glance shifted towards me.

"What a surprise! You too here Mina?"

"Hello Lia, what a surprise" I said sheepishly.

"Who are they two?" she asked pointing to Aaysha and Sid.

"Oh this is..." before I could finish,

"I am Siddique! Sid, you can call me like that!"

"I am Aaysha, his sister, we are Mina's childhood friends!" she added.

"Oh Sid, Mina have..." I stamped her foot before she could utter anything.

"Ouch!"

I sign languaged her not to tell anything.

Thank God! She was quiet.

So we 5 were chatting and were having our ordered meals. I was busy admiring Sid and Lia din't off her eyes from Mike. it was past 7:30 when we were about to leave.

Lia missed the bus, she almost forgot the time in talking, so Mike offered to give her a lift.

You must see her face at that time, really happy, that it could explode at any moment.

We waved to them and returned to our car. Aaysha offered to drive this time, I and Sid took the seat behind. Atleast now I had some chance to speak with him without any disturbance, the background songs in the car and our funny conversations, in those dark highways, those dazzling lights which hit the window, it was like a real dream. After sometime I could not hear any replies from him, it was only then I found him sleeping.

His long eyelashes and slowly moving hairs in his forehead, and his light beard, oh my god, I cannot resist!

His head slightly slid and landed on my shoulders. My heart was about to explode due to infinite number of beats in a second. It was really so beautiful. Perfect moment, I took a pic of both of us in my phone.

When I reached home, I waked him up, I actually din't want to but have to!

"Did I fall asleep?" he asked me brushing his hair like a kindergarten boy.

"Yes!" I said with a shrug.

He just gave me a grin.

We 3 got out of the car and Papa parked it in the garage.

I rushed upstairs, I fell on my bed and was viewing the photo which I took with Sid for more than 50 times, I pinched myself, no it's real I am not dreaming!!

I got a call from Lia, she was explaining her bike experience with Mike! I thought we both have met our soul mates.

Its like life's started to get on well...♡♡♡
