Irteza's POV
.

I saw Aleeza in the small balcony attached to our room, she was sitting on a chair and her hands were extended out under rain.

I scrunched my nose when i saw the raining heavily, with lightening and thundering. Streets are going to get disgusting tomorrow. I shifted my attention from the rain and brought it on her

I smiled looking at her, suddenly i felt as if my heart calmed, i was feeling rejuvenated.

There were a few drops of water on her face, it reminded me of dew on flowers. Goddd! She is beautiful..

I cleared my throat to make her aware of my presence, she quickly turned her head towards me, her open hair flipped, my heart skipped a beat.

"Did i scare you?" I asked, she nodded her head, "sorry" i said in a voice above whisper

I had no interest in watching rain, so I stood facing her, but she kept her focus on pouring water

"Why are you here?" I asked

"I couldn't sleep" she shrugged

We both were standing quietly for some time.

"Why are you so fascinated with rain?" I asked breaking the silence

"I've never really tried to find a reason behind it. From my childhood till now whenever I'm stressed out or restless, i sit and close my eyes and imagine myself dancing in the rain, the sound of rainfall, the earthy scent, the freshness of pure water" she took a pause, her eyes were closed as if she was imagining herself in that situation right now, then she opened her eyes and looked at me

"Rain washes away my worries, stress, tensions, everything negative, and it gives me a rainbow of hope" she said, "it gives me peace, doesn't it give peace to you?"

"Absolutely not" i shook my head, she stayed quite for some time then she murmured ok, i kept looking at her with intense gaze, i don't know from where it came, but I found myself speaking

"I don't know if I can ever find peace in the rain, but watching you enjoying it definitely brought peace to my heart" I said, she looked at me with wide eyes

"I can't understand you, what are you in real?" She asked

"What do you mean?"

"Whenever I feel that I have understood you, and we have come to some sort of understanding, then you do something hurtful and then it feels like do i really know you?" Her question made me think of all the things i have done to her

I overheard her discussing the same thing with her friend, i just never thought she'd be sharing her thoughts with me, but now when she has, i will not let this opportunity pass

"Would you like to know me?" I asked, she looked up at me with unsure eyes

"How?"

"Be my friend" i shrugged
