“Its been a week since Shehry is discharged. The doctors have said that he is recovering really fast. Both his plasters are out, and he can now walk without any support, although he limps, he’s much better now.”, I said.
“That’s great news!”, Sana exclaimed on the other end. “But, did you talk to him?”
“Not yet. Our engagement is in 2 days. I have to tell him before that.”, I said, and suddenly realized, I had to go shopping with Shehry and his mom today for my engagement dress.
I asked Sana to come along, as she would get to spend some time with Hussain too, and she instantly agreed.
I got off the phone, and got ready.
Aaj main tumhe sachai bata kar hi rahungi Shehry!
Sana arrived withing 15 minutes. “Hussain ka naam sunkar bhagi chali ayi?”, I teased her and she blushed.
Without wasting anytime, we went out and drove to Shehry’s house.
Upon reaching, aunty opened the door, “I was just about to call you. I thought you forgot!”
We smiled, and went in. “Aunty, yeh Sana hai, meri best friend. She studies in my uni too.”
Aur apki future bahu.
As salam alai kum Aunty.”, Sana said.
“Walai kum as salam beta!”, Aunty replied.
“Shehryyy! Husainnn! C’mon, der ho rahi hai”, she yelled, and Hussain came running downstairs, and was shocked to see Sana standing there.
“Hi”, he said, shyly.
“Hi Hussain!”, we both replied in unison.
“Beta tum isse jaante ho?”, asked Aunty.
He looked down, rubbing the back of his head with hand, and replied, “ Jee, she’s in my class!”
“Oh that’s nice!”, Aunty replied.
Shehry came down the stairs limping. He was wearing black beige jeans, and black shirt, and he flaunting his perfectly set hair.
“Chalein?”, aunty asked and we all nodded.
We all walked to the car, and Hussain sat on the driver’s seat while Aunty sat on the passenger side. Usually Shehry would drive the car, but since he hadn’t fully recovered yet, he let Hussain drive.
Shehry went t the door behind Hussain, and Sana to the one behind Aunty, leaving me having to sit in the middle.
We all got in the car, and Hussain blasted his music on the speakers. Aunty was pretty chilled about it, and didn’t say anything.
Hussain pulled the car out of the garage, and started driving. Sana hated Hussain’s music, and pulled out her earphones and started listening to hers.
Shehry, grabbed my hands, within his, and looked at me. His cold hands, sent a shiver down my spine, and I couldn’t help but blush.
He moved his head closer to me ear, and I could feel his warm minty breath on my face. My heart started beating faster, and I could feel my insides going upside down.
“You know what?”, he whispered, and I literally got goose bumps, as he his breath fell on to the side of my face.
“What?”, I whispered back.
“SUBWAYYYYY!”, he and Sana yelled in unison, and pushed against me from both the sides, as the car turned, squeezing, me between the two.
“OUCHHHH”, I yelled, in pain, and they both laughed their asses out.
