Part –B

Unknown feeling

Have a beautiful morning Selena, no wait a minute -I will have a wonderful day...-well I said to myself. Before getting ready I turned to check on my phone and unexpectedly there was a message from 3 people, Asad, Qadir & Roy. I opened Roy message first - (Morning, I know you hate surprises, but I love to give you surprises. Well, I am in Collasa will pick you up from your aunt by 10 be ready.... Can't wait to meet you.), I was happy and why wouldn't I be happy, he is my childhood friend and the one I call my family. He was there when I had everything and still sticks with me when I have nothing. I used to be very close until he drunk told me about his feeling for me. I never felt that way toward him or anyone the way I am feeling toward Ahad. I didn't know what to tell him, it's not that I don't want to see him, it's just his feeling toward me and I didn't want to give him a wrong idea to lead him on. I don't know a way, I was typing something and erasing again typing and then a suddenly unknown number popped up that made me forget everyone and all the worries in the world. "Love makes you selfish, I guess that's why people never rise in love, it's just every day the love rises to the stairs of infinity, and you fall so deep in, that no rope has been made to pull you up. The friend I always cared about, all that vanished in a second when I saw the context of the message.

Anonyms - (Hey, It's Ahad. I hope you are feeling better. If you don't mind, can we have breakfast together?)

When I saw the message, I had no idea how many times I read the message to understand what it meant. It was just like I know how to read and just doesn't know what it meant. All my education of 18 years vanished in a second. While I was trying to process his message suddenly my phone started vibrating

OH god it's him. I started panicking and jumped off from my bed and sat down on the floor while clearing my throat and calming myself down, and picked up the call -hello, Goodmorning!

On the other side, good morning (very deep voice), Did I wake you up?

No, I was awake just checking on my messages.

His voice changed and said sarcastically - I think you get a lot of messages that's why you must check on your phone.

I came with a very sarcastic one in my head for revenge, I replied savagely- yeah, I have a lot to deal with except just the one about the proposal for Breakfast.

He laughed sarcastically and said, "So what do I have to do to get in Ms. Selena's priority list?"

Oh, my lord Did he just flirt with me, no way it can't be right...whatever just play cool and smooth, and I replied- to enter my list you have to prepare yourself a little extra then others and need to hurry a little bit, because there is only 1 seat.

He replied I am prepared just waiting for the door to open.

Ohk let see your preparation on breakfast table- I said

Sure, I will be waiting by 9 on your doorstep- He replied

I got up from the floor and started to get ready.

Glancing in the mirror, I couldn't help but feel a flutter of nerves. Adjusting my appearance and ensuring everything looked just right, I wanted to make a good impression.

The nervous glances in the mirror were merely a reflection of the butterflies that fluttered within.

I was wearing a black top and loose nude color skorts, left my hair open & did my usual makeup with eyeliner, Mascara & my favorite light pink shade lipstick. The unexpectedness of the moment heightened the sense of anticipation as I took a deep breath before stepping outside to join Ahad.

I don't know what took over me since the day I saw his eyes. I don't know from where I am getting confidence. It's not that I'm not scared, what if he doesn't reciprocate my feeling. But i am going to give it my all. I am not backing up. There is a magnetic force in his eyes which is pulling me to him. I don't think I can stop now.

It was 8.55 am, I was ready. I went down, greeted my aunt and left the house. When i came outside Ahad was already there waiting for me, He was leaning against his car looking down on his phone and checking something on it. He was wearing a crisp white shirt paired with gray pants, exuding a casual yet refined charm. The sight of him waiting, looking effortlessly handsome, added an extra layer of nervousness to my already excited state.

As Ahad lifted his head, a momentary breathlessness overcame in me. My heart rate was above infinity. I could even hear my heartbeat. It was that loud.

Ahad's POV

(Selena, in her usual attire but with a distinctive aura, stood before me. The nervousness in my chest lingered, and I couldn't help but wonder why suddenly, why am I feeling this way. "Why am I so nervous? What if she wouldn't like me?" These thoughts raced through my mind, creating a swirl of anticipation and uncertainty.)

Selena, though seemingly in her everyday attire, radiated a different energy that caught me off guard. The familiarity of her presence intertwined with an air of uniqueness, making this encounter feel distinct and significant. The weight of the moment, accompanied by the uncertainty of how she might perceive me, added an extra layer of vulnerability to my emotions. I was giving myself a second thought about what she might be thinking about my proposal.

As the two of us stood in that moment of unspoken anticipation, The blend of nervousness and excitement and lot of nervousness was in the air.

Selena Pov.

As I started walking toward him, the air crackled with a mixture of nervous energy and anticipation. His eyes, seemingly enchanted, began to cast a mesmerizing spell as they locked onto mine. The intensity of his gaze had a hypnotic effect, making my heart race even faster and my steps falter slightly.

Caught in the magnetic pull of his eyes, I couldn't help but feel a heightened sense of self-awareness. The nerves that had already been present now intensified, creating a symphony of emotions within me. His gaze seemed to unravel layers of vulnerability, sparking a connection that transcended mere words.
