Part Two: Attachment to a strangers voice.
Aliya:
My eyes opened automatically to the loud thud of the guitar. What the hell? I thought as I got up. I scanned my room believing to find a rockstar doing a wild act playing an electric guitar on my bed but only captured thin air. I move my gaze over to my phone and checked the time.
'1 PM' I screamed and jumped out of my bed.
I dashed towards the bathroom but become stoned hearing a voice. It felt familiars. That bike dude? I wondered
However the tone of sternness had vanished leaving this sweet passion and syrupiness to it. I couldn't understand where the sound was coming from or what words he was saying. I begin to move closer to my window and slowly removed my curtains to glimpse through the opened glass. I blinked. A figure of man stood still shirtless in his superman boxers in the opposite house holding a black string electric guitar. I slightly giggle embarrassed with the image in front of my shameless eyes that kept their focus and explored his body. His tanned back was downy and his muscle strength was toned well. I shifted my eyes to his dark messy hair as he shook his head to the rhythm he stood playing. I couldn't look away. I stood their waiting for him to reveal his face appearance.
But who was he? I wondered.
'Mr & Mrs. Abdullah have been living alone since the day they have shifted here,
mais qui est-il?(but who is he?)' I scratched my head confused.
Maybe a relative Aliya. I assumed.
ZAIN
I turn and hide behind my curtains hearing a yell.
'It's really him' I bite my lip as I glanced once again through the gaps between my tangled curtain. His back still faced me but he turned slightly. Has he started to feel my gaze on him? Perhaps? (After all I'm staring like a pervert)
Stop it Aliya Brigitte Chevrolet ! I remind myself again and again.
But he seems really, different, terribly handsome from the back.
'Quit staring at him. I hissed firmly to myself.
I turn to walk to the bathroom but my ears get caught to the sound of my phone. I quickly move forward and pick it up.
"NO WAY! your dad has fixed your engagement. Comment peut-il le faire? Parv vous vient d'avoir dix-neuf (how can he do that? Parv you just turned nineteen) I think I need to have word with Uncle, n'avez vous inquietez pas, je vais vous appeler aprs je me douche ne pleure pas s'il vous plait(dont you worry, i'll call you after I shower don't cry please)" I spoke softly.
I took a pause for a few minutes and spoke again.
"I won't call, I'll come over instead okay. Stay calm .. bye" I cut the call.
He can't get her married off just yet, what drugs has he been taking. Ridicule(Ridiculous). I thought disappointment.
---25 minutes later.
I walk out drying my hair in my red baggy hood and black leggings humming. Ammi always tells me to remove the hoodies out of my life and dress more girly. It's the most annoying lecture in the century. I throw my towel on my bed and rotate to walk down but his voice froze my steps once again. I sigh and turn.
What's in his voice that it places a spell over me and I can't pull away? I smacked my forehead

Zain:
Dad came and wakes me up from my great handover. I love my Abbu, he is my idol. He is the straight-forward and the understanding one in the parent's and Ammi on the other hand is the strict, grumpy and self-centred one.
I walk forward and see my reflection in the mirror. My eyes were sallow and exhausted still. I scratch my head yawning.
I hate mornings. I moan to myself.
'W*F' I rub my eyes realising a quick 10 second flashback of the girl from last night.
Why did I just have a flashback of the suicidal idiot? I need to wake up completely from the god dam sleep. I shake my head.
I turn to the end of my bed and grab my guitar. I smiled warmly to myself as I started to play.
'Aren't you somethin' to admire?
'Cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror
And I can't help but notice
You reflect in this heart of minez '
ZAIN!
I hear my Ammi's shout. I ignore her. I closed my eyes and carried on singing.
'Aren't you something an original cause it doesn't seem merely a sample'
I stopped for a moment and turn my head slightly. It felt someone's gaze on me. It's strange but I could feel someone intensity looking at me. I waited confused and then finally turned. My eyes capture a girl's hair brush past the curtains. She was wearing some sort of printed pyjamas however she soon started to blend in her room and I lost track of her.
'Perverted girl' I frowned and walked away.
--- 20 mins later.
I was on the phone to Rud few minutes ago and he told the most outrages tale. His dad was planning of getting him engaged to some random girl. His old man was always barmy but he proved it to his son today. I grinned as I walked over to my window. I opened it wider and explored the area. My palms stayed rested on the neck of my guitar.
'Boring' I turn to leave but a sweet musically voice keeps me tangled. I look ahead and see a figure moving around the room. I couldn't see the face; her wet hair was bordering it.
I took a deep breath becoming inpatient. I couldn't wait any longer for her to disclose herself. I looked back and heard my phone buzz.
It must be Rud I told myself. His dad is driving him insane and now he will drive me mental. I walk back into my room.
