Nadira

5. The date No:1

“No Nadira appa I can’t do this” Sahana said.
“You can’t do what?” Ammi who just came in my room suddenly asked.
“Exams ammi, Sahana can’t learn properly for her exams” I said.
“No Shana we will find a way to study, don’t get nervous” Ammi said.
“Actually there is way” I said.
“What?” Ammi asked.
“Combine study” I said.
“With whom will she study?” Ammi asked.
“With Siya, her classmate, actually ammi can I take Sahana to her place tonight?” I asked.
“Tonight, but it’s not safe” Ammi said.
“But ammi I will be with her no, so no problem” I said.“Ammi let her go no, we don’t want out Sahana to fail no” Zoya who just entered the room hearing our conversation sa“OK but today Aisha is also going for the party” Ammi said.
“Yes ammi” Zoya said.
“So who will go to drop her?” Ammi asked.
“I will” Zoya said.
“OK done” Ammi said.

“Nadira appa this dress is too tight” Sahana complained.
“What’s wrong with this dress it is supposed to be tight” Siya said. We were at Siya’s home we went there to dress up Sahana properly for the date. She was wearing a pink short dress.
“This dress is too short yar” I said.
“Exactly” Sahana said.
“But it’s a date no?” Siya asked.
“I will just wear this jeans and black top” Sahana said.
“I think we should just let her wear what she likes to wear” I said.
“OK whatever” Siya said.

Sahana wore the top and jeanse.
“Nadira appa are you sure we should go for the date?” Sahana asked.
“Of course Sahana Mirza really loves you I think we should give him a chance” I said.
“She is right yar” Siya said.
“OK if you say so” Sahana said.
That’s when my phone rang. I picked it up instantly.
“Hello” I said.
“Hello Nadira Kabir this side” Mr. Khan said.“Oh! Hi” I said.
“So when will you reach?” Mr. Khan asked.
“8:00 Pm” I said.
“OK, but don’t wear your salwar with your scarf and come” Mr. Khan said and laughed slightly through the phone.
“Excuse me Sahana is going for a date not me” I said.
“OK, if you wanna look like a total bore then wear whatever you like” Mr. Khan said.
“Why are you always like this?” I asked.
“Hey, actually I thought you will look really nice in modern dress that’s why I was just trying my luck” Mr. Khan said.
“Really!?” I asked.
“See you at 8” he said and hung up leaving behind a super confused me.
“Siya do you have any jeans and top by any chance?” I asked.

I watched Sahana and Mirza talking non-stop with each other. They were sitting a little far away from me. I was wearing Siyas jeanse and top.
