Tales From The Heart (short stories)

1.1 - ( Accidental Crush )

" I fell in love with you because of the millions of things you never knew you were doing, falling for you slowly from a distance..."

-

I was currently dying of boredom, while my mother and aunt were busy in shopping.

How can people go on shopping for so many hours straight?! It's so exhausting! My legs were numb from walking around so much and I could feel my sore body ache from tiredness.

" Arya dear, I think this salwar kameez will look good on you." My mother offered, holding a pair of clothes in front of me.

"Aww it looks so beautiful ! And it's the latest design , we should totally get this one for her." My aunt added nodding enthusiastically.

"It's pretty but I -"

"Come on , no more excuses you didn't buy a single thing ! We're getting this , end of discussion." Ammu stated with a tone of finality.

"Hmm okay okay." I muttered letting out a sigh.

" We'll take this one mister. "

" It'll be Tk 2000."

"What ?! No , no , it's way overpriced ,give it at Tk 1500."

And they continued bargaining...

Just then two girls entered the shop , their arms laden with a number of shopping bags.

"Haye haye how many things did you buy?!" Aunt enquired ,shocked seeing the hundreds of bags her daughters were carrying.

" Not much mom and don't worry there was a sale anyways ." Assured one of my cousin sisters.

"And we found some really pretty accessories, I'll show you when we get back home." Piped up the other .

"Arya , you should have come with us ,there were so many amazing stuff . Also I got those latest brand of makeup." Reesha apu informed me .

" Ah nice , I'll just share with y'all." I replied, flashing them a grin.

To be honest I didn't care much about all these and why bother when I got cousins who were basically fashion gurus.

"Did you come right after waking up ?" Riya questioned looking at me.

I nodded after stifling a yawn.

I had been taking a peaceful nap right before it was ruined by my family dragging me to go shopping.

We were in a hurry to leave so that the road didn't get too jammed at peak hour . Due to the rush, I just threw on an oversized green hoodie sporting the words " I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good". I paired this with black leggings and my favorite black sneakers .

" Hm you look nice. As in the casual, do -not-give-a-damn- cool type." Riya complimented before continuing ," -but remember to always look presentable."

" Eh why ? Who's looking? If you say 'people' please, why don't they mind their own business?"

I retorted while rolling my eyes in annoyance thinking about this judgemental society .

" Yeah people, but you never know when you might run into a handsome stranger." She said ,sighing dreamily and shooting me a wink.

Before I could express my amusement someone interjected-

" Are we done ?" Came a cute little voice from nearby.

"Can we go home?" Added his twin .

I looked down to see my younger twin brothers gazing up at us with adorable pouts gracing their cute faces.
