Hussain's POV:

'Now if you two don't mind..i am going to bed before either of you think of another plan to get us killed or worse.. Expelled!', i said harmoniously with Hermione and grinned at Shehry and Maha who were throwing daggers at me through their eyes.

'Would you just shut your mouth for once?', asked Shehry frustratingly.

'Yeah.. We know that you have memorised all the dialogues so stop being a prick, Hussain bhai!', grumbled Maha and i snickered.

Currently, we three were watching Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone and i was lip syncing all the dialogues, mostly out loud.

'What? I can't help it you know.', i pouted and they both rolled their eyes and turned their focus back on movie.

Everybody knows that i am a die hard fan of Harry Potter series so most of my friends avoid watching that movie with me because i can't keep my mouth shut during watching it.

Just then another person flashed through my mind who loves the movie as much as i do.

Smiling, i pulled out my phone and started typing:

Me: "Em watching Harry Potter. 😏 What are ye up to? "

I sent the message and focused my gaze on tv screen.

Just then my phone pinged and i smiled.

Leeha:"Congrats.. 😒 Em at the mall.. 😞😪"

Me: " What are you doing at the mall? 😕"

Leeha: " Hunting elephants.. 😒"

I rolled my eyes at her reply and started typing:

Me: "Enjoy hunting elephants then.. and em gonna enjoy watching Harry getting the philosopher's stone..😏😏😌"

Leeha: " I'll watch it on YouTube, you nincompoop! Now get lost.. I have grocery to do. 😪😞😩"

Her reply made me giggle.

She never fails to reply sarcastically..

Me: " Have fun! 😏✌"

I put the phone on sofa's arm and tilted my head to left and saw two pairs of eyes staring at me.

'What?', i puckered up my burrows confusingly.

'Why are you smiling like idiots, Hussain bhai? Whom you were talking to?', investigated Maha raising her eyebrows and i mentally slapped myself.

Isko b parr lag gaye..

'And why should i tell you that? Choti ho to choti raho, Maha baby!', i said trying to pinch her chubby cheeks but she swat my hand away.

'I am eleven years old.. Em not choti anymore!', said Maha grumpily and i sighed defeatedly.

Girls.. And their age consciousness..

'Ab btaye ga k kis se baat kar raha tha tu?', asked Shehry demandingly and i gave him 'you too,bro?' look.

'Leeha se yaar!', i drawled and Maha jumped on the sofa with a start.

'Leeha? Who's Leeha? Your girlfriend? Maa!! Hussain bhai has...

Before she could blurt another word out loud, Shehry smacked his hand on Maha's mouth and she frowned at him annoyingly.

'He said 'Rehaan se', right Hussain?', asked Shehry with his tight-lipped smile and i nodded my head obediently.

'You both are jerks!', said Maha jerking Shehry's hand away and stormed off.

'Pheww that was close!', i said wiping off the imaginary sweat and earned a slap from Shehry at arm.

'You are such a peanut head, Sain! Kon aisay munh phaar k aik larki ka name apni choti behn k samnay leta aur choti behn b wo jiska mota sa munh ho!?', ranted Shehry and i couldn't help chuckling.

'Stop laughing, you idiot. And tell me since when you both have started chatting privately?', asked Shehry as he raised his left eyebrow up.

'Uuhh.. I don't remember it distinctly tho.. Perhaps when you guys sent her to talk to me..', i said tapping my chin thoughtfully.

'Hussain!', called Mum from kitchen.

'Coming!', i said getting up from sofa, leaving Shehry in some deep thought.

Ab ye apna dimagh larata rahay ga..

'Ji Maa?', i asked sitting on the kitchen shelf.

'Bring biryani masala and chicken, if you want to eat biryani in dinner', said Mum casually and my mind blew.

'What?? Ye kahan ka rule hai, Maa?', i asked incredulously.

'Ye yahan ka rule hai, beta ji. You were the one who was blabbering about eating biryani so you are the one who's gonna get the ingredients.', smirked Mum and my jaw dropped.

'How can you do that to your fav son, Maa? That's not fair!', i protested childishly and the response was only a frown.

'Ouch!', i deadpanned and brought forth my hand for the list.

'Great.. Bring these things!', chirped Mum and my eyes went wide after reading the long looong list of things written on it.

'Maa.. That's..

'Not fair.. I know.. Now go..Be a good boy!', said Mum cutting me off and tapped my cheek playfully.

'Finee!!', i stomped off my feet and came out of kitchen after grabbing money.

'Where you goin' ,bro?', asked Shehry smirkingly and i glared at him.

'Hell.. Wanna come?', i gritted my teeth.

'Nahh.. Em pretty good here.. You may go!', said Shehry crossing his arms behind his head as he sprawled on sofa and my blood boiled.

Khabees kaheen ka..

I picked up a cushion from the couch and flung at Shehry's head that landed on his face.

'Sain.. You bastard!!', yelled Shehry.

'Language, Shehry!!!', another shout came from kitchen and i ran out of the door with my satisfied heart.

After pulling the car on road, i headed for the mall.

~~~~~~~~~~

*In the Mall*

At present time i was in the mall, doing grocery, pushing the heavy cart and cursing myself for thinking about eating biryani.

'Where the hell are those spices?', i muttered to myself, scratching the back of my neck.

I was done shopping dairy products, breakfast stuff, chicken and vegetables. Now i was looking for desi spices that were to be seen nowhere.

After wandering of fifteen minutes, i finally spotted them.

'You are an idiot and nothing else, babe. How many times should i repeat?', A girlish voice came across the spices shelf that grabbed my attention.

'But what else should i have done at that time? He was asking me for a date.!', another girly voice spoke.

Girls and their conversations..

I don't know why but i kept on standing there.

'And you just died there. Such an opportunity seeker you are. And now stop making your already ugly face more ugly by pulling faces', snapped the first girl and i couldn't help chuckling.

'Wait, did someone just laugh?', asked the same girl and my heart stopped.

Damn Sain.. You are dead.!

'Well who cares..', the girl spoke again and i let out a sigh of relief.

Sain.. You jerk.. You are eavesdropping on some random girls.. Back off!!

My mind reprimanded but i ignored his warnings.

'I wasn't dying.. I.. just.. Ughh.. You know i love him, Lee-bee', said the other girl frustratingly.

Lee-bee? What a weird name...

Just then a woman came by my side and started checking out the spices.

Shit!

I picked up a pack of chillies and started examining it as if reading the ingredients.

The woman put her required spices in her cart and went off.

'Bach gaye!', I sighed.

'Yeah whatever you say, Susie.', said the first girl casually.

Her voice sounded familiar but i couldn't put my finger on it.

'You can't help your friend in crisis? What a best of friend i have here!', groaned the second girl.

'Of course the best of friends you have.. Cuz if you feel you're sinking..i will jump right over to drown you!!', sang the first girl and i found it hard controlling my laughter.

'Expected.. Plus you ruined JB's song.', said the second girl dryly.

'So what? I made the better version of it', other girl spoke.

I was like their silent audience.

Just then i heard the trolley moving.. Creaky voice of the trolley wheels.

'Would you like to get your big fat ass off of the trolley? And stop eating chocolates... It's your fifth snickers bar!', grumbled the second girl.

'First of all em not fat and second of all i can eat whatever i want.. Stop eyeing my food', said the first girl and then the voice of jumping from cart.

They were moving now and i pushed my trolley as well.. Walking across the shelf.

'What about your boy?', asked the second girl and my ears perked up.

'My boy? He's just a friend plus he likes someone else', said the first girl and i could sense the hint of pain in her voice.

'Friend? He messages you late night and you both talk till morning.. He shares his secrets with you and you listen to him.. He shares his happiness and sorrows with you and you get happy for him and become one hell of upset when he's sad.. What's all that then? What do you call it then?', ranted the second girl and i waited for the first girl's answer.

'Friendship?', i heard the first girl saying meekly.

'You are impossible, Lee-bee!',  the second girl gave up.

'Can we go to the chocolate bar again? Please Susie?', pledged the first girl.

'No.. And you were here to buy your grocery and em feeling like its me who's to shop here. You are such a waste!', second girl said dryly.

Let's see who are those two girls on whom i have been eavesdropping from past fifteen minutes..

As i was about to turn left to see those girls, my phone rang.

I pulled out my phone, it was Shehry's call.

'Bhonk', i retorted as soon as i picked up the call.

'Bow bow', barked Shehry and i rolled my eyes.

'Why did you call, bro?', i asked pointedly.

'Mum's asking about ya.. What are you doing?', asked Shehry exasperatedly.

'Nuffing.. Just hunting unicorns', i said nonchalantly.

'You must have seen yourself in the mirror then, unicorn', said Shehry smugly and i frowned.

'Gotta go.. Bye', i said cutting off the phone and thrust it into my jeans.

Shit, where did the girls go?

I strode to the counter and waited for my turn. I looked around to spot them but couldn't find the girls anywhere.

Paying the bill, i came out of the mall with my trolley. Just then a black Audi sped out of the parking.

Wait.. That car?

That was the same car that i saw at boutique..

Was it her?

My head started spinning as different questions started bubbling up in my mind.

Hang on..

She loves somebody?
