Laila My Love - S01 E14

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 14

The entire ride felt a lot slower than

usual for some strange. Maye because

Farid haven’t said anything and neither

have I. Why was the energy between us

shifting all a sudden? I have never been

close to any guy until him. Farid has

definitely been with a lot of girls so

when he says things like I am his and

the way he looks at me, how is any of

that different? Once we leave from here

I am sure everything will be back to

normal. I’ll go back to being me, a loner

in college and he’ll be one of the popular

guys. This is all a cliché.

‘We are here’ Farid said, snapping me

back to reality.

‘Hmm…Thanks’ I stepped out of his car

and started walking towards the door.

I heard him stepping out of his car and

even though he didn’t tell me to stop I

still stopped walking and turned out.

Some part of me wanted to stay behind

just to talk to him some more.

‘You forgot your purse’ He pushed my

clutch forward to hand it over to me.

‘Ahh…thanks’ I smiled at him and both of

us stood there looking at each other

which felt like an eternity.

‘I better go’ I said breaking the silence.

‘Listen, can we meet tomorrow?’ He

asked me.

‘Yes we are all going out for dinner

tomorrow anyways, I’ll be there.’

‘No, I mean alone’ His voice became

huskier or maybe it’s just me ears.

‘Oh’

‘I understand if you are not comfortable

but it’s really important’ He looked

straight into my eyes and I could tell

whatever he wants to tell me is

important.

‘Okay’

‘Really?’ He smiled at me as if he wasn’t

expecting that answer.

‘Yeah’ I looked down feeling shy all of a

sudden. Was this too fast? Is it all my

imagination?

‘Okay, I’ll pick you up around 5pm and

we’ll go to the dinner together from

there?’

‘Sure, where will we be going?’ I asked

feeling curious.

‘It’s a secret’ He winked at me and

walked back to his car and drove off.

I had such a goofy smile on my face

when I entered my room and saw my

reflection in the mirror. Is that how

Sobia look when people mention Rafay’s

name in front of her?

I touched my blushed cheeks to get rid

of the bright pink colour, but it was no

use.

I changed my clothes and walked back

downstairs where everyone was sitting.

As soon as Sobia saw me she grabbed

my hand and pulled me back our

bedroom upstairs.

We both sat on her bed; she grabbed

her pillow and candy jar from her

nightstand as if she is waiting for a

movie to start. I just sat there looking at

her thinking how big of a loser my best

friend really is.

‘Don’t act like an idiot’ I said while

grabbing the candy jar from her hand

and putting it back on the nightstand.

‘Shut up… don’t you dare call me an idiot

while you are looking like one yourself’

She snapped at me.

‘Fine, what do you want to know?’ I

gave up.

‘What happened between the two of

you today?’ Sobia asked me with her big

brown eyes popping out with

excitement.

‘Nothing happened, he just gave me a

ride home’ I looked down at my hands

hoping she would leave the topic alone.

‘I may look stupid, but I am not. I can tell

when you are lying my friend. C’mon tell

me the truth.’ Sobia was honestly not

going to take no for an answer.

‘Fine, he gave me ride home and said he

wants to meet me tomorrow because he

has something important to tell

me…now can you stop asking me all of

these questions… I really don’t know

what’s going on between the two of us.

It’s just that …I don’t know I feel weird

when he is around, and it feels a lot

weirder when I don’t see him. Allah…I

don’t know what happened. When he

told me to meet him tomorrow, I said

yes not because he asked me to …I said

yes because I wanted to’ I spat all these

words in a single breath and Sobia

looked as if ice cold water was thrown

at her.

‘You are in so much trouble’ Sobia

grabbed my hands and squeezed them

tighter.

‘Don’t I know it…’ I said hopelessly.
