ASYA SS: Unsaid Love Chapter 8 Updated and Note on Page 21 - Page 5

Chapter 4

Part A

Zoya's POV

I saw him open the library door and walk towards me, he looks nervous, I won't be able to make eye contact. Holy Snap he looks so perfect. like he just walked out of my dream. But this is my dream come true. Hes going to ask me for prom. it would be perfect. i was still in my lala land when i heard him say "lets go for a walk?" "Sure" i whispered. This is going to be so hard. "Get a Grip Zoya" my inner voice said.

We were walking side by side down the empty hallway. this feels so right. just perfect.

Asad's POV

I opened the library door to find her looking right up from her textbook, was it just me or did she look like this everyday. and if she looked like this everyday then why was i having double thoughts. My heart skipped a beat when she smiled. She looks so happy. is she happy because she knows i am going to ask her out for prom? I haven't spoken to her as friends ever before. this was going to be hard. Maybe we can be friends and things will be less awkward by the time prom comes around. I noticed she stopped blinking like she was lost in thoughts. could she be thinking about me? "Lets go for a walk" i asked in hope that maybe if we are walking alone it might be a bit less awkward.

Shes so sweet, so quiet,so different around me. but when she loud and outgoing its nice. but this side of hers thats just for me makes me feel special. She is so nervous, it makes me kind of want to laugh, i like this effect of mine that i have on her.

3rd Person's POV

Tanveer ran down the hallway screaming "Asad. I have to talk to you!"

Asad " Tanu, what is it, can it wait?"

as tanveer walked closer to them, they realized tanveer was crying

Zoya "Tanu, is everything alright? why are you crying?"

"Asad Zoya, he broke up with me. I hate him. I hate Imran." sobbed Tanveer.

"What happened. why did you guys break up ?" Both asked in unison. Zoya put her arm around Tanu to comfort her. Asad also put her arm around Tanu hoping she would stop crying.

"Zoya dont get me wrong. but can i please talk to asad alone?" she said as she buried her head in Asad's chest. "ofcourse Tanu, hes your bestfriend and i'll just be in the library." Zoya whispered

"I'll see you in a bit and talk to you then" Assured Asad to Zoya as she walked away. While walking down Zoya turned to see Asad look at her with a faint smile to say thanks for being understanding.

Tanveer was Asad's bestfriends, but she was also super close with Zoya. She knew how much Zoya loves Asad, and she also knew asad was confused about Zoya. The only thing that she didn't know was how Asad was going to ask Zoya out for Prom.

*LUNCH ROOM*

Arjun: Zoya did you know Asad is taking Tanveer to Prom

Zoya: don't bullshit me, he's not doing that, and its a stupid joke

Arjun: I am serious. I saw them sitting together on a bench and she had her head buried in his chest

Zoya: They are bestfriends, and can't friends hug. I hug you guys all the time. Plus Tanu is just sad.

Arjun: Well did Asad talk to you today?

Zoya: No but he did say he'll talk to me in a bit. plus he told Ayaan he was going to.

Humaira: Arjun, if ur joking around, stop cause we all know how much zoya has waited for this day.

Arjun: Humi, if you don't believe me ask Ayaan right now.

*zoya and humaria shocked*

Humaira pulls out her phone and texts Ayaan. "Is Asad taking tanveer to prom? Yes or No reply only!"

Ayaan: "No. What the heck. Humi he said it in front of you that he was going to ask her out today!"

Humaira: "we are hearing that hes going with tanu."

Ayaan: "Alright let me text him and show you he isn't!"

*10 mins later*

Humaria's phone rings, Zoya grabs the phone and answers it. But even before she says Hello she hears Ayaan say.

"I don't know whats going on. Don't tell Zoya anything at all right now. But Tanu asked him out and he said yes. but now hes like he'll talk to zoya and then make a choice ..." Zoya started crying and passed the phone to ayaan. Humaira took the phone to hear Ayaan going on to say "I don't know why tanu would ask him out, Asads coming to talk to Zoya in 10 minutes make sure she doesn't know anything.." "Ayaan, She heard it already. But I am so ready to kill Tanu, and why couldn't Asad say flat out no to her?" with this Humaria shut the phone and tried to get Zoya to stop crying.

"Humi, i am not going to talk to him! if he wasn't going to ask me out then why all this drama, why? is it a crime that i like him? i am i not good enough?" "No zoii, you are perfect, Ayaan told me hes coming to talk to you to maybe u can change his mind" "No are you dumb. i am not gonna fight for a guy doesn't feel anything for me!" "Zoii, be positive, maybe he does, tanu is his bestfriend he didn't wanna be rude thats prolly why he said it, but he wants to talk to you atleast hear him out and then make your decision. Asad's on his way here, so now no more tears. You can't show him you are weak!"

Part B

Asad's POV

How the heck did Ayaan know about Tanveer and how she asked me to go to prom with her, I just hope he didn't tell Zoya this yet. I want to talk to her, and if she hears this from someone else she might not talk to me, and she might not hear the actual story. As I was walking to the lunchroom I saw Zoii walk out. She saw me and looked down. Was she avoiding me? Why? Does she already know? "Hey, can we talk right now?" I said in hopes that she looks up. Wait maybe I shouldn't have hoped to see that. She's crying. Why is she crying? I felt a faint ache in my heart, maybe I was responsible for those tears. "Sure, give me two minutes" she said with her voice cracking, she was fighting back from more tears rolling out. She started walking away and I walked beside her and asked "Why are you crying?" in hope that her reason has nothing to do with me. "Cause I am pagal!" with just saying that she went to the girls bathroom. I wanted to laugh but at the same time I started feeling like shit. I am probably the reason behind those tears.

"Let's go outside and talk" she said when she came back. I could tell she went just to wipe her tears and look like she hasn't cried. We started walking towards the benches on the field when she said "How is Tanu? Everything okay?" She cares about my bestfriend, I thought she only became friends with her for me, she was just crying and now shes asking about Tanu? If she knew then she probably wouldn't ask about Tanu? "Shes hurt, Imran and her broke up, and he said a whole bunch of shit and that's it" "that's it? Nothing else that you might want to say" she said as she sat down. Her eyes were filling up again with tears. "well ... hmm... actually..." "she asked you out?" I couldn't look at her again, I felt guilty, she knew. " yea, but that's cause Imran said no one would ask her for prom" "so you asked her out." "No I didn't, but she wants to go with me. And you want to go with me, please don't cry, I'll tell Tanu that you want to go with me and she'll understand she knows you, she knows what we feel" I said and then started regretting the words that I just said. "No, you can go with her and I don't want to go with you, anymore, I wanted to go with a person who feels something for me rather than a person that just wants to go with me because he knows I want to go with him" she said softly with tears rolling down her. I was shocked. "So you have no problem if I go to prom with her?" "Do you want to go with her?" she asked. "I don't know honestly. I didn't think about it!" I replied hoping I don't hurt her anymore but I knew I was failing miserably. "well than think about it" she said in a serious angry tone but I could tell she is hurt. "Why do you want to go to prom with me?" I asked "cause I am pagal" she said and tears started coming out. I wanted to put my arm around her but she just moved back. "I am sorry!, I don't understand why you like me? I don't even know you. Tanu and I are bestfriends, aren't you supposed to stick by your friends? When Ayaan and Humi were having issues you fought with all of us and stood by her side. Tanu is my bestfriend, I don't know. I don't want to just leave her. But I know this is your dream ..." I ranted only to be cut off by zoya "You know nothing about my dreams so don't talk about them. Shes your bestfriend, you made up your mind so cut the drama. " Her voice was cracking up as she go up to walk away. I grabbed her wrist and said "why are you so stubborn for? Can't you reply to me properly? All you say is cause I am pagal, you don't tell me anything, you know a lot about me and I don't know anything about you." I said while feeling a lump being formed in my throat. She started sobbing more and then defensively said "first of all, I would never want to go to prom with a guy that's just asking me because It is my dream when he knows nothing about it. And second of all, have you ever tried to get to know me? No. So don't blame me. Yes I know I like you because I donno." As she broke down. "as a child I would always dream about be being 16-17 and living like a teenager having being perfect, I dreamed of my prom too. A guy who drives a green Honda, plays basketball, is 5"11. Comes to my house picks me up I am wearing a red halter dress hes wearing a black shirt red tie, with a dozen roses. At prom I am standing in a balcony looking at the full moon comes behind me and tells me he loves me. After seeing this dream crazy amounts of times, I noticed it was a puzzle I needed to put together and finally I saw your face in that guy. But I don't want to go to prom with you because you are not that person. You are confused you don't know what you want. You don't know anything about me!" and she walked away. I was left stoned, when she turned around to say "At least you could be a good friend to Tanveer, " I saw her walking away. I never felt worse. My heart ached wait no it felt like my entire body was in pain, I felt guilty, I knew what I had to do, I had to prove that I was Tanveers bestfriend but I was more confused about my feeling, I am an emotional mess.
