Aww small Zaya

Continue soon

Over the years Aaliya Ghulam Haider and Zain Osman Abdullah had learned to read each other like an open book,they knew every detail-small or big about each other,every sceret sacrs and blemishes,everything-simple everything about each other.Zain had learned the reason behind her eevry smile,he had learned the difference between seagreen and turquoise,he had learned that she hated black coffee and strawberry icecream,that she'd give anything to havee chocolate cream at the crack of dawn or in the middle of the night.He had noticed small things about her,how he nose crinckled and lips pouted when she felt frustrated with something and how her ears slowly turned red when she became furious.he had noticed the crimson blush that had crept up her face when they had accidentaly fallen on top of each other..he had noticed how she chew the back of the pencil when she felt clueless about something,he had noticed how she huffed whenever the irksome strand of hair fell in front of her eyes.he had noticed fear,concern and tears in her eyes when he had broken his arm,he had noticed her grown over the years,from a little girl who made pigtails that guys loved to pull-into a beautiful woman- a very beautiful one...

Aaliay too had over the years noticed things about Zain Abdullah that would seem intracable to the eyes of the world.SHe had noticed how he tilted his head and how the lopsided smile spread across his handsome face,how he liked to sleep on the lrft side of his bed,his hand tucked under the pillow,his legs sticking out in different directions,is mouth slightly open and his blanket anywhere but on his body.SHe had noticed how he tucked his hand in the pocket of his jeans when he was nervous or how often he checked his watch and called her when she got late returning from somewhere.HSe had noticed how much he hated eating anything that ahd too mcuh of chili in it-how much he disliked things like'ganne ka jiuce','golgappa' and 'baraf ka gola',considereing them unhygenic,yet he did,just because of her,since she had a strong predilection for them.She had noticed how he ahd blushed when they had accidentaly fallen on top of each other,she had noticed the shiver that had run down her spine,when his hands had brushed against her cheeks or how his fingers had lingered and singed her bare back when under duress she had asked him to tie the 'dori' of her blouse...She had noticed how Zain had turned from a sweet litle boy to a handsome young man.

Aaliya was lying flat on her stomach,her body propped up on her elbows,her brown curls tied up in a bun that was held by a clip,a nd a pen dangling from between her fingers.SHe had sensed him enter her room,she had heard the door click too,but she was too busy and engrossed in her work to pay heed to him...

Zain lingered at the foot of her bed,before deciding to sit down beside her.HE wished she would always keep her hair open...he crept up behind her and opened her clip and let the hair flow ut of its clawss..SHe chreiked "ZAINNN.!!!!!"

"GIMME ME MY CLIP BACK!"

"NO-NEVER-NO WAY Ms.AALIYA GHULAM HAIDER!"

"Zain..this is not done..i'll make you pay for it!"she said beforechasing him around the room."You want it then you'll have to take it.."Zain said a little out of breath as he dodged out of her grasp...she ahd him almost cornered..her face was flushed red,her chest heaving and her hair gently falling around her face..she tried grabbing it,but the more she tried the more he lifted it higher."Zain!"she whined..he twisted her hands behind her back and anchored her to his chest..in way it seemed that he was hugging her..ther faces were inches apart and suddenly silence fel upon him ...she struggled to set herself free,but couldn't,she failed twice and the third time she brought both of them down on teh bed..his hand was tightly holding her waist,while her ahnds were tightly clutching his t-shirt..with their lips mere centimeters apart ,their foreheads touching and ther breaths mingling..They both acknowledged the new sensation in ther fluttering heart.

"Uh--"she quickly let go ,bringign them out of their own world..while he nervously paced the room ,she tried not to make eye contact with him..

"I-I was th-thinking to take you out and show you around Mumbai.."

"But I've been to all tourist spots in and around Mumbai..Zain.."

"We'll go once again.."
"Fine..but you'll have to take me to a place which I have not seen.."

It was 4am in the morning whe she felt someone tug at ehr blanket.Whoever that person was,was getting on her 'very' bad side..She pulled the covers back and she would've kicked had he not mad ehis presence felt ,by caling out her ame.."AAliya..wake up..!"But she kept mum..why was he disturbing her at such an ungodly hour..and had he once again climbed the pipes.God!this Abdullah!.."Mamu ki bhanji egt your ass out of the bed riht now!"SH e squinted her eyes open,the blanket slipped from her body and warmth started sliping off...she sta up straight,his face was 'so' close to hers..she got out of the bed,and befoe she could ask him any otehr question,he pushed her into the bathroom,to get changed..

They sat down on the golden grains and watched as the waves crashed against the shore..one after the other...Brilliant orange poured out of the sun and across the horizon. The sky was blood red.The furrowed clouds were every shade from palest pink to deep crimson. Dawn broke over the horizon, the brilliant orange egg yolk sun spilled across the clouds as far as their eyes could see...she gasped as the air slwoly turned into apink mist as the sun's rays cascaded over the land..She had been living in Mumbai for so long yet this was the first time she had seen the sun rise over the blue waters and virgin beach...Zian watched mesmerized-not by the dazzling sun but by her beauty..it was as if she wouldn't trade this moment for anything in the world..he shared the same feeling...SHe turned to lok at him,a gentle beaming smile tugging the corner of her lips.."Thank you Zain..." He felt athud,and a warm sensation as she rested her head n his shoulder,huggig his arms,tightly,capturing thsi moment,because who knows whether they would ever get a chance like this again.."Zain.." "Hmmm?" " I feel so scared sometimes"she shifted her head to look at him.he encircled his arms around her waist and pulled her closer.."Me too Alaiya.." he continued"And lonely too..lost..I an't imagine getting on with everyday without you by my side..I won't be able to se eyou everyday to run to you with my problems..""Me too Zain..what will happen to me Zian...I dont even want to imagine..you saved me from those bullies on my frist day at school..who'll save me on the first day of college..Zain..noone.."Zian was going away to London to do his graduation in Accountancy and his masters in Business Management.While Alaiya had stayed back,accepting tthe offer at Xavier's to complete her B.Sc in Economics...she wanted to be there for her father."you'll do fineAloo.."he smirled.." And who know you might find a replacement for me..a hot,cool and smart guy in your colege..and who said that I'm going away never to return again..I'm not gonna leave your back so easily,MAmu ki bhanji.."

"Its not funny Zain!" she pouted and tried to hit his chest with her tiny ineffectual fists when he caught her hand and brought it to his face,placing a smal kiss on her palm."I know its not funny when you don't know what your future holds for you..but always remeber one thing Aaliya that as long as you believe in yourself-hope will pave your way even through the darkest hours of your life..Always remember that Zain Abdullah will always be there for you..."(Silence)

"Zain? Will we ever be able to find true love..?"Her question took him by surprise and his heart clenched for a second.."MAybe.."

"What if we don't"

"Ms.Aaliya Ghulam HAider if in five years from now,we don't find true love or we don't end up with someoene whom we love,then we have each other ...we'll marry each other and spend the rest of our lives annoying the hell out of each other..because no matter what happens we always love each other and you

ll always be my person.."

"You'll always be my person too,Zain..But you won't forget me after seeing those tall,leggy British beauties ,right?"

"I don't think there's a way in this world in which i can ever forget you,MKB"

Her giggles filled the salty,humid air...he would always remember it..

They had never expected this kind of meeting..she had last seen him when he ad been back home for his holidays..but when he returned back permanenetly..it was something compleetly different.She wa sther ein her room...going about her usual chore,when he had entered puling her into his arms..she yelped by the sudden action,her eyes not believeing that he was there in front of her eyes..it was without a moments notice that she felt his lips on hers She opened her mouth and prepared to belt out the loudest scream she could muster. She was suddenly stopped as his mouth covered hers. His warm lips were gentle, but firm. His hands were wrapped around her waist and hers locked around his neck pulling him down slightly. When they broke apart for air, Aaliya rested her forehead against his and gathered some much needed oxygen. His smirk told her everything and she smiled back, sinking into his hold.A new relationship had just begun..they were no more Zain and Aaliya but ZAYA..their friendship had turned into that of a searing passionate love story..
