Chapter Two
Zoya's POV
Maybe i should stop thinking negatively and think positively. If hes cold hes also caring. "Zoya think positve." I kept on chanting to myself. "Relax Zoya. Nothings going to go wrong. Trust me" Humaira said to me trying to get me to cool down "i think he has realized that he likes you. But i know from your birthday last year that he has feeling for you."
* FLASHBACK *
Zoya's 17th Birthday
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZOYAAA!!!" Screamed my friends as i walked into my class. Humaria ran to me and put on a Birthday Crown and everyone began to shower me with wishes and gifts. I felt so loved but i sliently Thanked God he isn't in this class. I hugged my friends and sat to my seat and pulled out my diary and began writing. "Zoya what this you are always writing, why do you need a diary when you have me?" Humaria whispered. "Humaria, do you think he remember my birthday? why would he, i donno?" Humaria quickly looked away, I could tell she was hiding something. "what are you hiding?" i asked. "look zoya, i can promise you this is one birthday you will never forget trust me." she whispered as the teacher began teaching us.
My day was going amazing, why wouldn't it be amazing it was THE ZOYA FAROOQUI'S Birthday. Nothing hurts or upsets me on my birthday, its is my most favourite day of the year. Although I was kind of getting annoyed when Humaria kept pressuring me to wait with her outside her class after lunch but whatever. I know she loves me a lot. We met 4 years ago and became the bestest friends ever. As she says "You are the sunshine to my day, the happiness to my smile, the achaar to my roti" We were just laughing and talking when he came and stood beside me, my back to a locker i am already starting to tremble. just him being near me made me weak in my knees. "Oh hey, Its your bithday right. Happy Birthday" He said and that was enough for me to go back and hit a locker. I could feel my cheeks buring and a 220 watt smile form on my lips and me showing prolly all 32 of my teeth. "Thanks" I whispered. I couldn't wait for Humaria's class to begin. Humaria was right. This was going to be a very memorable birthday in deed.
Days Later, After Zoya's Birthday Party.
"Humaria for GOD DAMN sake please sign off msn, the notification sound is annoying the hell out of me" I screamed for the 50th time.
"Zoya, chillax" she said back. while she continued to stare at the screen
"you can talk to ayaan all you want afterwards, tell him you got to go now or else i'll come over and tell you." i said as i grabbed a slice of cake and headed in her direction
"No," She said moving the laptop away from her so i couldn't reach for it. Something was definately up with her. She looked so shocked and pale." Look, show me the laptop right now!" i said in the most serious tone ever, that usually did the trick! Like an obedient child she handed me the laptop. I think i stopped breathing that moment as i saw what was on the screen.
An MSN Convo between Humaria and Him
Asad: "Why was Zoya smiling so big when I wished her? i've never seen her smile that big before."
Humaria "Thanks bro for wishing her. she smiled because thats what normally people do."
Asad: "But do you guys think I am stupid, like Nuzhat got me to sign her card saying it was laila's birthday. and when i asked you what the count down on your status was for, you said it was for a lame show. I knew it was Zoya's Birthday all along"
I must have read this 50 times with 1000s of questions. He remembered my birthday, wait how does he know, he possibley couldn't have remembered that for 3 years ago when his sis and mom came to my birthday or could he. does he like me
"Zoya, look please don't get your hopes high, i know what you are thinking, and you know how bipolar he can be. hes been giving you signs since the day he found out you like him. I just don't want you getting hurt. I asked Ayaan this and ayaan said he talked to him and he said he didn't want a relationship or anything. but i don't understand why he is leading you on. like what is he getting. sometimes i just hate him. he has a huge ego and you admit to that too, he isn't all that amazing, hes average looks. average personality, but i don't get him" Humaria said it in one breath
"relax humi, i understand. dw i am not getting my hopes high. just his wish is good enough for me. " I whispered with a tiny bit of hope for the future.
His Birthday this year
I wanted to wish him first this year, he made my birthday special i want to make his. but would he find it weird in the past 4 years we barely talked, only time we actually talked was when i was over at his house. His sister Najma was Zeenat api's bestfriend but Najma and I were pretty close too, slowly his mom Dilshad Aunty became Mommy bestfriend. Looking at our families bonding gave me a hope for the future but i am just 17 why am i thinking about marriage and stuff. nervously i typed happy birthday at exactly 12 only to find out that he blocked and deleted me. How could he. why is he so rude and egoistic. just cause i like him doesn't give him the right to give me attitude. In my anger i lashed out on him giving him a piece of my mind telling him to stop being so self centered and egoistic. only to get a reply.
"Zoya you should go die"
Maybe I shouldn't have emailed him, maybe i screwed up his birthday, well no shit i did, who would like to get a rude email on their birthday. but why did he have to act coldly towards me i was just wishing him. stupid bipoloar him!
*FLASHBACK END*
Maybe he is taking revenge! No. "Zoya be positive" I kept on chanting while waiting for the clock to hit 10:35 AM
