Haaniyah's POV.
I was in his arms. We were lost in each other's eyes. I was still under the influence of the kiss we shared. I forgot to blink as his eyes were capturing me. We were so closed to each other. His breath was directly falling on my lips. Our hold was still the same tight and firm.

"Haider." We heard a voice and I came to my senses.

We both immediately pulled apart and look at each other for once and then turn to the opposite sides. The realization hit me that what we did!!

No what I did!!!

I kissed him!! I Kissed him back!!!

Oh God what I did!!!

I hit my forehead with my palm. Again a knock and I was in trouble now. I look at myself and found myself without dupatta.

"My dupatta!" I thought and look around.

And there it was laying near bed. I rushed toward bed and took dupatta. My hands start rubbing my face to fade the effect of the kiss. I tugged my hair strands behind my ear and placed dupatta on my shoulder and then cover my head. I took deep breaths and went to open the door. With shaking legs and beating heart I open the door.

"Haaniyah!!" An amazed voice.

Guess what who's standing in front of me. My best friend Manahil and my stupid friend Kashan.

"What are you doing here??" Kashan asked and both stepped in the room while I walked toward the bangles which Kashan gifted me and Haider throw them on ground.

"Where is,Haider??" Kashan asked and I look at the direction where he was standing.

His back was still facing me. My hands were shivering. No my whole body was shivering. I was still under the effect of that strong passionate kiss which was creating dizziness and tingling inside me.

"Haider Aunty is calling you. Guests are going so she's calling you for dinner." Manahil said but I just keep looking down and just keep picking that bangles.

"I'm...I'm..just...just coming." I heard him but didn't look up.

"Haaniyah what happened to you??" Kashan asked snd I stand up with those broken bangles.

"I'm...I'm...fine. You two go. I'm...I'm...just coming." I said while taking steps with them toward the door.

"Okay." Manahil said and hold Kashan's hand to go out.

"Manahil throw them in dustbin. They are broken now." I said while giving those bangles to Manahil.

She nodded and both rushed out. I keep standing there in the midway of the door holding the knob thinking where to go what to say.

"I'm....I'm...going." I slowly said and took a step to move.

"Haaniyah." His voice made my heart jumped and my lips got dry.

I waited. I waited for his next words. I waited for him to say something but he didn't say anything. I keep standing there.

When he didn't say anything I turn to see him who was just looking at me. We both just keep looking at each other and then my eyes lower down when I saw a light mark of my lipstick on the corner of his lips. I felt myself heated up again.

"I'm...I'm...going. You...just...check...check yourself...in....mirror." With that I rushed out of the room.

I run toward my room where I usually stay. I closed the door and run to the mirror. As I saw myself in mirror,I pulled my dupatta over me and look at myself. My hair were a mess. Hair strands all over my face. My Dry lips, my red neck,my heated body everything was reminding of what I did. What we did.

I fall on the ground with shaking legs. My heart was drumming inside my chest. I touched my lips with my thumb to find it swollen.

"What I did!!! I kissed him. Oh God I kissed him. How I'm gonna face him now???" I hide my face in my knees while wrapping my arms around them.

"Haider what we did!!what you made me do!!" I was mumbling again and again.

Mine.

His words when he whispered between the kiss ring in my ear and I smiled.

Stupid!!!

"I covered  my face in my hands and smiled. Smile for the confession we make today. Smile on the closeness we shared today. Smile for right he gave me and I gave him. Smile for that He's mine and I'm only His.

Manahil's POV.
I was looking at him who was walking besides me with angry expressions. He was all quite and I could feel how bad he was feeling.

"Kashan its okay." I said and stand in front of him.

He look at me and then to the bangles I was holding.

"Why are you holding them?? Don't you heard her that throw them in a trash." He yelled and I took a step back in fear.

"Kashan calm down. You know how Haaniyah is. Whenever she's around Haider she forgot everything. You know she loves him then why are you after her.?" I said looking in his eyes.

"Yeah right. Haaniyah loves Haider but she don't have right to break my heart. My gift. I'm feeling bad because she didn't care about my gift. She just told you to throw them in front of me." He yelled again and run his left hand in his hair.

My eyes travelled to his hair in which his fingers just run. Some small hair strand hanged on his forehead while his dark black eye were roaming around in anger.

"Calm down. Its okay. We feel this way many time but its good to throw your anger out." I said because I wanted him to throw his all anger.

"Why are you taking my side?? She's your friend right. Best friend then go to her. Don't give me lectures." He shouted and marched toward house.

I was standing alone in the lawn of Haider's house. My eyes lower to the box containing that broken bangles. I slowly sat down on that grassy ground of lawn.

I know what Haaniyah did was wrong. She has no right to break a heart but I also understand her. She was not in her senses. I could feel it. When I and Kashan entered Haider's room,I was amazed to see her there. I was talking to Haider but he was not facing us. Haaniyah too was shaking and confused of what she was doing.

I asked Haider to come down as his mother was calling him but my eyes were fixed on Kashan and Haaniyah. Haaniyah was looking maybe at Haider but Kashan's eyes were on her. I saw his eyes travelled from her face to her hands in which she was holding the box of bangles.

When I turn to go with Kashan I saw Haaniyah standing there as if she was waiting for us to go. I could feel something happened between them. I could her red cheeks,her lower eyes shaking hands everything was telling that something happen but I  leave it and walk out with kashan because he needed me. I don't know why but his sadness was making me sad.

I was sitting on ground looking at the bangles. I slowly spread all the bangles on the ground and start picking the broken pieces of bangles. I put all the pieces of broken bangles aside and a huge smile appear on my lips when I saw most of the bangles were okay. They were not broken.  I touched them and then I thought.

If these bangles can gave him joy and a smile on his face then I'm going to give him that smile. I don't know why but his smile start matter to me. For his smile I can do anything and I know what I have to do.

Kashan's POV.
As I stepped in,I saw Haaniyah's and Haider's family talking but both Haider and Haaniyah were missing. My mom was also there seated with Haaniyah's mom. I sat in a corner.

I closed my eyes and a face flashed on the curtains of my eyes.

"Manahil." That name slipped from my lips and I open my eyes.

She was with me. Every time I needed her she was there and what I did. I shouted on her. I didn't know what happened to me that I spit my all anger on her. She didn't say anything but just keep listening me. I run out where I left her.

I reached in lawn and look at her who was merely few steps far from me. She was sitting on ground and that red bangles were spread in front of her on ground. I took deep breaths and took a step closer. Manahil didn't noticed me. I stopped when I saw her taking her light golden bangles off from her right arm. She then slowly start wearing those red bangles which I gifted Haaniyah. My eyes widened as I saw her smiling and playing with bangles.

"I wear your bangles Kashan. Now smile please." She talked to the bangles snd I smiled.

"I'm smiling." She turned on my voice and I walked to her.

She didn't get up and I took a seat with her in the grassy ground. She was not looking at me but playing with her bangles.

"Hey what happened??" I asked and she look up.

I forgot to blink. Her eyes just hold mine and I forgot what I was saying or going to say. Her hair were beautiful curled and spread on her shoulders while her dupatta was spread on both shoulders. A light touch of make up was making this girl so beautiful. I never feel this way about Haaniyah. I mean she also look beautiful in every attire but Manahil was looking different. Special and I was feeling something strange in my heart.

"Um... I...I..think we should go in." She broke the silence and I immediately look away.

"Sure." I said and we both got up from the ground.

We walked toward the house but I was enjoying each and every steps taken with her. My eyes went to her right arm where my bangles,those red bangles were tinkling and her fingers were playing with them. I smiled but my heart jumped with happiness. I don't know what kind of happiness I was feeling but whatever it was I was liking it. I turn to see her again and then step in the house where everyone was going to have dinner.

Haaniyah's POV.
I don't know how much time passed but I was still on the ground hugging myself. I just don't want to go out where I have to face him.

"Haaniyah." I look up at the voice and saw,Manahil standing.

She look at me and then close the door. I again hide my face in my knees because I know she is coming toward me.

"Haaniyah you okay??" Manahil shook my shoulder and I look at her.

"What happened?? Tell me is everything okay??" She asked again and I start biting my lips.

I could feel my lower lip swollen reminding the passionate kiss we shared.

"Haider said something??" She again asked and  his name make my heart beat increased.

"Or did something??" She added and I turn to her fully.

"Haaniyah tell me." Manahil asked again.

"He...He.." I paused.

I was not understanding what to do. Weather to tell her or not. I was so confused.

"Yes Haaniyah what he??" Manahil again asked.

"He...he kissed me." I spoke that out with closed eyes.

A few seconds later when I didn't heard any voice of Manahil I slowly open my eyes to see her. And what I see her shocked face with jaw dropped. I slapped her arm.

"Huh!!! What did you say?? He did what??" She again asked and I look down and smiled shyly.

"Stop blushing idiot. Tell me what he did??" She asked again.

"He kissed me." I said slowly and look up.

"Only he or you too??" She asked and I nodded slightly looking down again.

"I...I Kissed him back." I said and then I heard a laughter.

I look up at my best friend who was laughing. I narrowed my eyes and she closed her mouth but I could still see a smile on her face.

"Why are you laughing??" I asked looking at her.

"Why are you thinking so much?? Why are you not coming out??" She asked me without answering my question.

"I'm...I'm..just...just..." I stutter didn't know what to say.

"Shy!?" She completed for me and I nodded.

Manahil pulled me in her arms and hugged me.

"Don't be shy when you can kiss him then you can face him too. He's waiting for you." She whispered while caressing my back.

"Now shall we??" She asked looking at me and I nodded.

We both got up. I took my dupatta but Manahil hold my hand and turn me to her.

"First go wash your face and comb your hair." She said and I nodded

As I entered the washroom I saw my reflection on the mirror hanging on the wall. The image of me and Haider kissing each other start playing on the mirror making me blush and I lower my eyes.

What you did Haaniyah!! How I'm gonna face him now and how will I talk to him??

"Haaniyah Hurry up." I startled as I heard Manahil's voice.

I washed my face and then came out. I took comb and start combing my hair. Manahil tie my hair in a braid. I took my dupatta and place it on my head. I took deep breaths and step put of the room with my best friend who was holding my hand. My eyes went to her right hand in which those red bangles were shining which Kashan gifted me.

Why is she wearing these bangles??

I look at her and then again to the bangles. She didn't say anything but just keep walking. I let this go for now but I'm sure she's hiding something. I will get her. I know. I stopped near the stairs. My eyes moved down in hall where both families of mine and Haider were chatting and laughing with each other. He was not anywhere but Manahil said he's waiting for me!

I went down in hall with Manahil and sat with Aani.

"Where were you Haaniyah?? We were waiting for you." Aani said.

"Aani I was...." I was saying when an abrupt smell of the same perfume passed my nostrils which increased my heart beat because today I inhale it very closely.

"Mom when is dinner...." His words stuck in his throat when I look up and our eyes met.

He was standing a few steps far from me. I immediately look down and start playing with my fingers. Nervousness overwhelmed me. My lower lips tugged under my teeth. I was feeling his eyes on me. I was melting from inside. I was burning with his gaze.

"Yes Haider we were waiting for you. Come on now. Rehaana serve the dinner." Aani called the maid and everyone got up from their seats and moved to the dinning hall.

But I was still there freeze on my spot. I didn't look up nor I  tried to move.

"Kashan come." I heard Manahil.

I look up at her snd she winked at me. My eyes went to Haider who was still standing there. His eyes were still on me making me heat up.
I manage to get up and took a step to move but before I could take another step someone grabbed my wrist and I didn't turn to see who it was because I know who can it be. Its Haider.

I was waiting for him to say something but he was all quite. My wrist was in his hold and he was not letting me go. When he didn't say anything I tried to free my hand but he was not letting me go.

"Lea....ve..me." At least I manage to say.

My heart jumped when I felt his presence right behind me so close that my back was almost touching his chest. I fisted my frock when his breath touched my ear.

"Meet me after dinner in backyard. I'll be waiting." With that he rushed toward the dinning hall leaving me with beating heart and uneven breaths.

What he was saying???

Meet him!!!

Oh God not again.

I mean I don't know what to do. Where I stuck. I took deep breaths and walked toward the dinning where everyone was having dinner.

★★★
As the dinner finished, everyone was enjoying coffee while I was just playing with my fingers and feeling his eyes on me. I was so uncomfortable as his gaze was continuously on me. It was giving me happiness and making me nervous too.

"I think we should go now. Its quite late now." Dad said while getting up.

Mom and my siblings also stands up. I saw Haider going out looking at me. I know what he was saying. He's going there to backyard where I have to go to meet him. But how?? He's insane. He doesn't how will I come now when my whole family is about to leave with me.

"Manahil." I whispered in her ear who was lost in her own thoughts.

"Hmmm." She just hummed.

"He's waiting for me in the backyard." I whispered again.

"What??" She shouted and everyone turn to us.

"Sorry." She apologize and then turn to me.

"What are you saying?? Are you mad??" She asked snd I just shrugged my shoulders.

"I don't know about that okay but I...I want to go." I said and she narrowed her eyes at me.

"So you can get another kiss!!" She said and my eyes widened.

"Stupid think before talking." I slapped her arm.

"You can do and I can't even think about the lovely, passionate kiss you shared." She whispered in my ear making me go red and I glare at her.

"Okay let me do something." She said and turn to my parents.

"Aunty just stay for some more time. I want to show something to Haaniyah. " she said.

"Beta you can do this later when you'll visit us again. But it's quite late now. We should go now." Dad said.

"I know uncle but just wait for 15 minutes. Only 15 minutes uncle. I also have to go home." She said and Dad nodded.

"Thank you uncle you are the best." She said and pulled me with her out of the house.

I turn to see my family again took seats and I smiled while walking out with Manahil.

"Manahil thank you." I said and hugged her.

"You are welcome. But be quick because it's almost 12 of the night and I'm scared of witches." She said and I laughed.

"You are yourself a witch." I said and she slapped my arm.

"Go now " she said but I shook my head.

"I'm...I'm..feeling shy. How I'm going to face him?? What will I say?? What if he asked something or get angry??" I asked looking at her.

"And what if he again kiss you and uncle encounter you both kissing." Manahil said and my mouth widely open.

"You know you are such a witch." I said and took a step toward the backyard of the house.

"I know. And hurry up. I'm waiting here for you." She said and I smiled.

With beating heart,shivering body I went to the side where he called me. As I entered the backyard I saw him roaming here and there. He turn on the voice of my foot steps. Our eyes met and I stopped where I was. I saw him coming closer to me.

"H...hi." He said and I could feel the nervousness.

I didn't say anything but just keep standing.

"Hmm...how are you??" He asked and I look up at him confused.

He called me to ask how am I??

"Huh!!" My reply.

Haider's POV
I mentally palmed my face. What I'm asking?? what I'm doing???

I look at her confused face. I know I act stupid but love makes everyone stupid and it makes you to act stupid.

"Nothing. I just want to give you this." I finally said while taking her pendent out.

When she left from my room,I was smiling. Smiling for the confession we made to each other that we belong to each other. The closeness, love,was the reason of my smile. When I clean the mark of her lipstick from my lips I could feel her soft still on my lips. All the memories of our beautiful kiss was flashing on my mind making me smile. When I was about to go out from my room,my eyes saw a shine on the ground. As I leaned to see it,it was a pendent. The same pendent which I gifted Haaniyah and she was wearing it today but i think it falls. I picked it and out it in my pocket.

She was looking at the pendent I was holding. Her hand came forward to take it but I hold her hand.

"May I??" I asked and waited.

Waited for her answer and then she slightly nodded.

My hands went around her neck and I tie that pendent around her. My fingers brushed against her soft skin and I saw her biting her lips. Her eyes were lower and she was playing with her fingers.

"You are beautiful." Finally I said which I really wanted to say since I saw her.

She look up at me. My hands were still around her neck. Her eyes again lower down snd she start biting her lips again. She was getting nervous I could see. She was waiting for me to remove my hands but I didn't. I was enjoying being with her like this. I slightly put my finger on her lips to stop her from biting her lips. She look up in my eyes.

"Don't bite them." I said and leaned toward her ear.

"I bite them enough for today." I whispered and she immediately turn to other side.

"I'm...I'm...going." With that she just run from there and I just keep smiling.

She was shying. I saw the blush on her face. Gosh how much I love her. She's only mine and I love to tease her,to see her blushing to throwing her anger on me. Her every action was enough to make me crazy and I'm madly in love with her.

I smiled and walked toward house.

Kashan's POV.
"Okay Haaniyah Good night." Manahil said when Haaniyah and her family reached their house.

"What you mean?? You are not going anywhere. Come inside. It's quite late." Haaniyah said while pulling her in house.

"No mom would be waiting. I should go." She said.

"Okay I'll drop you then." Haaniyah said and I saw Manahil looking at me.

"Don't worry I'll drop her." I said hurriedly.

Manahil lower her head and I could feel her smiling.

"Yeah Haaniyah Kashan will drop me to my home. Now go. I'll see you at school." Manahil hugged Haaniyah and before Haaniyah could say anything she took steps far.

I followed her and we both start walking. There was all silence around us. The road was empty. We were walking side by side. I look at her on the tickling of her bangles. She tied her hair in a bun and then put dupatta on her head. I smiled. I don't know why but I like to walk with her. Its for third time I'm walking with her and I was enjoying it. The silence we share with each other. Our steps moving together matching with each other. We were walking on a distance but still together and this was really something new which make every walk special with her. My eyes lander on her arm where she was wearing those bangles which I bought.

"Why you wore these bangles??" I asked and she turn to me.

"Just...you were sad so I...I thought...." She paused.

"For me!?" I asked and she look straight but didn't answer.

"The air is good na." She asked and I smile while moving ahead with her.

I know she was avoiding my question and I don't want to repeat it because I know the answer.

"Its perfect." I said and again that silence took place.

We just keep walking toward her house which was not so far but we were taking small steps to make it far. I like to have a walk with her.

"So Bye!" I said as we reached in front of her house.

She turn on my voice. She look at her house and then me. She didn't realize that we reached her home.

"Bye.!" She said and turn to go.

"Umm... Manahil." I called her.

Damn why I called her??

Now what??

She turned and her face illuminated with moonlight. I for a second just keep looking at her.

"Yes Kashan." She asked and I mentally slapped myself.

"I'm going to visit a library tomorrow." I said and give myself a. Confuse look.

Library!!! And me??!!!

Really Kashan!!!

This girl is making me nuts!! What I'm saying I actually don't know.

"So??" She asked.

"So wanna join me?? I mean if you want to come.! I mean no its okay if you are not interested I'm just stupid. You go. Good night." I said and turn to go.

Moron.

Stupid.

Idiot.

What I'm doing and why I'm doing this???

Kashan you are gone mad!!!

"Kashan." She called me and I turn to her.

"I would love to come but after school." She said and I find a huge smile on my lips.

"Fine after school its great." I said happily and she waved bye to me.

"Good night." She said and went in her house.

I turn and jumped with happiness. I don't why I was going mad with happiness but whatever it was I'm just loving it.

Tomorrow!!

I just love tomorrow!!

I mumble and run to my house.
