7 months later
Last time I saw him, it's seems so far but the memory still fresh in my mind. I remember everything abouth this night, I should say beautiful night. How can a guy that I met one time, made me so addicted to him, it's irrationnel. He wasn't interested by me, he never asked me for my name, for my job, nothing, emotinnally chalenged , urrggghh. Why i feel so bad by this?
"women used to focus on details and they are not looking at all angle"
Details build the hole story, mister arrogant , she said out loud, remembering his word, she sighed sadly. Sitting in small cafe, she siped her sweet coffee
-I'm wondering what his favorite coffee? I guess black coffee, I can't imagine him drinking creamy or sweet coffee, it doesn't suit him.
I remembered that day he was so irritating by his confidance but I like it , actually I really appreciat everything he said that night, I remember his words, his hair, his brown eyes and his lips.
Is it your way to say that I'm good looking?
She smiled shyly and replied " yes you are Mister 6, really handsome and sexy, that even my eyes didn't forget any details of you"
I remember our dialogue and I always imagined him in front of me, chatting, laughing. God how I wish to get back at this time of my life. There never been a single day in those 7 month that I didn't miss him, every single day of those 7 months has passed without thinking about him. It's hurt a lot, I've tried a lot to tell myself that tomorrow, I will forget, but it's become worst day by day, everything remind something. I can't stop myself by dreaming about him and when we are going to meet again, what i would say :
"hey you remember me? too desperate"
" who are you? too detached "
"hi dude, how are you man? too cool"
Pfff, I don't think he remember me, he can have any women with this face or his mother will choose a perfect wife for him, and he is maybe now happily married and she must be pregnant, her heart constricted at this though.
How I hate to be addicted to a man, how I hate to be like this, so dependant of memory, I just want to remove this feeling, it's really hurts, I will maybe not see him again in my life, it's really hard.
Her tears began to rise and she closed her eyes to hold back this sadness.
I want her to be sweet when I will be tired, I want her to be calm when I will be angry, I want her to be traditionnel to teach my children good culture, I want to care for a house that I build for her to protect her and I want her to care of my children because I will care for all of them.
For God's sake, stop, she put her hands on her ears
"you know miss seven, definition of couple for me it's when 2 imperfection meet to for a perfection"
Stop torture me with your words
"love is not material, it's feeling. For me, love is not saying everyday "I love you" or buying everyday a flower , it's showing everyday how much "I love you" "
"I love you" ,she wispered, her eyes wild open, she froze, I love you??? Is this ...love? It can't be love, no I just met him once, I can't love guy that I don't know nothing about him, I've just seen him once, it was just one time, how could it be???
"one day you will find a love who going to put her life upside down and turned your brain into fool and her heart into king"
She remembered humeira's word , through her tears, she laughed :
I'm a fool, totally fool, how it is ironic, I've fell in love with a guy that I've met 7 month ago and I know nothing about him, I don't know what to feel, should I be happy because I have love in my heart, or should I be sad because I will never live this love? Stupid love, stupid heart, stupid feeling, stupid mister 6, stupid life, stupid destiny ...
-why is she always late ? What a big news she has to told me ? Hope it's not again her stupid research for happiness? Stupid , stupid , stupid
-hey you , what it's stupid? asked humeira
-hmmm nothing, it's just...Just I've forget to put sugar in my coffee
-really? Zoya you are really strange those days, everything is fine, at work? At home? In your life?
(If you just only know?)
-tell me I'm your friend, tell me, humeira conforted Zoya
-are baba, I'm fine, I'm just tired and I need some holidays, I've work really hard those months and I guess it's just that my body is screaming for her break, she lied
-ok, listen I have something to tell , hope it will make you forget for a moment your tiredness
-yes tell me, I'm scared, hope it's not your weird idea again
-Zoyaaa, anyway, I think, no actually I'm sure that ...I'm in love
Zoya looked at her in shock, before she started opening her mouth, humeira stop her
-I know what you are going to say, not again, it's too quick, it's only a few month that you know him, who's this guy?
Take your time, remember your past story, bla bla bla . But this time, I'm sure, we love each other really and I know he's the one.
-how can you be sure he's the one humeira begum in only 6 month?
-I don't know I just feel it here, in my heart, I feel happy, I feel safe with him, I can't think about anything or anyone than him, I I don't know, I know that I love him and just him
-ok
-listen I know that you think that I'm too young but my heart is sure and I know this time...
-I said ok
- it's true love...What did you say? Ok, just like this, without arguing, without lecture, are you ok? Humeira put her hand on Zoya's forehead,
-humeira , enough, why are you behaving like that?
-listen who are you and where is my friend?
Zoya rolled her eyes
-you should be happy that I encourage you , no?
-yes maybe, butI do not have the habit of your silence , I know you well, something fishy and I will know it early, anyway, I have something else to say
-what already break up? Zoya laughed
-no miss boring farooqi, I want you to meet him
-ok, when?
-tonight
-tonight??? Waooo you are really in love and you're really in a hurry to see him again, how sweet
-by the way, I was with him before I came to you, humeira put her hands on her mouth to stop herself , but it was too late
-aha that why you are late? Ok as I see you forget me already, anyway, I though that I 'm your best friend, Zoya pretend to be hurt
-no, it's not what you think, you are my best friend and always will be, but I didn't see the time and you know, it happen sometimes
-anyway, I will come to see who's the guy who stole my friend's heart
-I'm sure you will like him
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the evening
Humeira has joined Zoya to her appartment to go together. Both of them were nervous, Zoya because she will meet for the first time humeira's boyfriend and Humeira for thefirst meeting between her best friend and her boyfriend. She knows her friends really well and she trust her opinion, in love we are blind as we said but she wished that Zoya will appreciated him.
They took a cab to reach their destination, after 20 min , the cab stopped and Zoya's heart. She got out slowly from the cab while Humeira was paying the driver. She recognize the bar, this bar where she met him for the first time.
"why you are here?
-to waste my time and you?
-to have a headache"
"I was litterally forced to do it to save... how can I say, mmm to save humanity
-Really me too"
All the image of that night crossed her mind, she smiled sadly
-Do you remember ?
-whaat?
-do you remember this place? It was 7 months ago, first speed dating, you remember???
(how can I forget)
-vaguely, she lied
-come in, he's waiting for us
With each step, her heart beat loudly, she remembered that night, she hoped in her heart to find him inside but when they entered , there is no one except a guy standing in the middle of the room. She sighed.
-Zoya, meet Ayaan my boyfriend, said humeira shyly
-Ayaan, meet Zoya my childhood friend
-Nice to meet you , they said respectively
-well , finally I meet you, she talked a lot about you
-really??? but she didn't mention you a lot in front of me, retorqued Zoya mischievous
-ha ha ha , Zoyaaa, very funny , she said uncomfortable
They chatted for 2 hours, discusing about all and nothing, where Zoya learnt to know Ayaan better. He's very funny, very easy to talk with, very simple, sweet and nice guy. She obviously noticed discret look exchange between the 2 lovers, she felt happy for her friend, afterall Zoya knew now what is to be in love. She can't stop herself, again to think about him.Ayaan excused himself for an urgent phone call.
-so do you like him? asked immediatly humeira
Zoya decided to tease her friend
-well, I don't know, I guess, it's just one time, I can't give you my opinion, something is weird with him, i don't know what...
-liar, you can know in a minute if you like someone or not, so tell me, even if it's not , it's ok, I can handle and but I wish that you give time to know him better
Zoya laughed and took humeira hands and said:
-I like him
-really??
-yes, really
-thank you,thank you, I love you, they hugged each other
-Do you stop loving me humeira begum ? said Ayaan with a fake sadness in his face
They all laughed and Humeira muttered "idiot"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Oh my god, it's really late and tomorrow I have to wake up early,
-no Zoya don't be boring, it's just 11
-yeah just stay few minute, look how humeira is sad and you don't want her to be sad, right, retorqued Ayaan
Humeira made a puppy face
-both of you are manipulator, ok just 15min and I will go
Humeira and Ayaan said yes in unison. They continued their chatting when they heard an open door. Ayaan stood up and went to the door.
-it's closed my friend
-even for your brother, Asad said
-bhaijaan, I'm happy that you are here, I though you can't come , and he hugged him
-I'm sorry I'm late, I didn't expect to finish late but I'm here
-come on let me introduce you some person
Zoya frozed when she recognized first his voice, how can she forget this voice, that sound, like an old melody turned in her head for the last 7 month. Her legs became weak, she turned slowly, praying that it's not a dream and there he is. Mister 6, hugging and smiling with Ayaan. She wished she can run and hug him also. Asad looked up and his breath stopped.
(Miss heaven)
They smiled to each other
-Girls, I want you to meet my brother, Asad Ahmed Khan, and Asad, this is humeira, the woman that I loved and this Zoya Farooqi, Humeira's best friend
(So finally miss heaven's name is Zoya farooqui)
(Asad Ahmed khan that sounds really powerfull and sexy)
They smiled shyly, Ayaan and humeira sat next to each other facing Asad and Zoya.
-Asad bhaijaan, I don't know if you remember me, I was in a speed dating 7 month ago
-of course I remember you, you was the second one that I've met that day
(how can I forget, I remember everything about that day )
(so he didn't forget but did he remember me? I feel yes, his eyes speak a lot)
-and maybe you remember my friend, she was also here that day
-yes I remember, they exchange look, she hit her head that day
-oh yes that was really embarassing,
-I remember everything , Asad and Zoya's eyes were sticked , I mean how you hit your head that day
They continue chatting again, and in between, Asad and Zoya looked at each other secretly, every laugh, every smile, every word, they didn't miss anything about each other. They were both happy to find each other after so long, none of them want to say something, just to feel the other presence. Thank to humeira and Ayaan who made the most of the conversation, they didn't need to force or to speak for a long time.
-Humeira, tell who was the first to ask for going out?
Ayaan scratched his head and showed her
-really??? replied Asad
-yes if I've to wait your brother, I will still single by now, right Ayaan Jee?
(same brother, emotionally challenged )
-that night, I discussed with him after you left Zoya, and when I give him the paper, I write ayaan in all my choice and let him my phone number
-I was really surprised and it take me one month to have a courage to call her, and now, they entwined their hands, I don't regret. Time moved really faster and I don't want to have regrets, we should do crazy thing, because crasy thing make you feel alive. And you know what, I asked Humeira to marry me and she accepted .
Asad and Zoya were shocked , they blinked for a few seconds :
-are you sure guys? I mean it's only few months that you both know each other, asked Asad
-I agree with Mister khan, mariage is serious,attraction or love alone is not sufficient, it's a big responsability, it's a house, children, said Zoya out loud like she asked herself this question
-when you know it, you don't need to waste time, said proudly humeira looking at Ayaan
-yes but ...
-Asad I know you think I'm impulsive and thoughtless, but trust me this desicion is obvious to me and I can't think about something else than to be with the woman that I love
Asad and Zoya looked at each other and he said
-I think... We should congratule you both for the crazy idea but if it make you happy, Zoya nodded to him, she felt really proud of Asad.
Asad hugged Ayaan and Zoya hugged humeira
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Midnight
-It was really good , but I have to go , it's midnight , I really have to go
-yeah you're right, Zoya I will stay with Ayaan a lillte bit if you don't mind
-are humeira, he will be your husband you can let him for a moment
Ayaan and humeira blushed
-I don't want to be the third one between the two lovers, I will go also
-no bhaijaan, you can stay
-I'm joking , it's late
-ok as you wish
-Miss farooqui?
-jee Mister khan
-did you notice that they didn't insist for us to stay ? teased Asad
Zoya understood the game and continued
-yes you 're right , I guess they want us to leave asap, just to stay together, alone, she forced the last word
-no it's not truth, replied Ayaan and humeira in unison
-anyway, Ammi will be worry , I have to go, take care humeira and Ayaan, I see you soon, miss Farooqui shall we?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Standing outside, they are alone finally, the truth is that they just want to be together as much as Ayaan and humeira want to be. But now, they don't know what to say.
-Mister khan, which way you're going?
-this way, and you?
-opposite way
-ok, so I guess our roads stopped here
-Mister khan, can you..I mean join me , it's really late, I will feel more confident if you are with me
-I will join you even if you didn't ask me
They walked silently, trying to find something to say but nothing came out.
-So Miss Farooqi, how was those 7 months, I mean last time we've seen each other?
(horrible without you)
-it was fine, I worked a lot, we have a huge project and I've just finish it last week
-And in between, did you try another speed dating?
-no not all and you did you?
-no no more speed dating, one time is enough, and hmm what about just dating , did you... I mean find someone?
(Did he ask me if I'm single?) She smiled and said:
-well actually...
(don't tell miss heaven that you find someone) Asad's smile fade away, Zoya noticed but she decided not to tease him
-actually not, I didn't get time to, and ...You, did you?
-well, no , even if my ammi is looking really hard for me, but I reject all the proposal, I was to busy those months
(So you are still single Mister khan)
(So you are free Miss heaven, that sound good)
Both of them, made an happy dance in their head
-they really cute, continue Zoya
-who?
-Humeira and Ayaan, what else's Mister gold fish?
-yes, made for each other, so I guess it was humeira who asked you to come that day
-yes, and it was Ayaan who forced you to come
(he really remember everything)
-I asked myself how, with just one meet, did they know that they want to spend their lifetime together?
-I guess it's what we call love Miss farooqui
-and what is love Mister Khan? she whispered
-I don't know, I guess it's when you can't think rationnally, when all your mind was focussing on only one person, when you remember everything about her, when you feel restless when she's not here, and feel complete when she's here, when you missed her every time, when you just want to be with her all the time, when you like everything even what you used to dislike. When you just want to hold her and never let her go, when you sleep dreaming about her and woke up thinking about her. When you smile stupidly, thinking about her. When you realized that without her, everthing is tastless. And when you wished that her smile will be the first thing to see in the morning and the last thing before you sleep.
(this is how you make me feel miss heaven)
-that was your beautiful sentence ever, she said stunned
He smiled at her
(God my memory does not make justice of your smile, how I missed you)
-we arrived, mister khan
-already Miss farooqui
Like 7 months ago, he called a cab for her and like 7 months ago, he opened the door. They stood up like the first time.
-I guess, I will see you at the wedding Miss farooqui
-I guess so
-I was really happy to see you again
-me too Mister khan, it was a pleased surprise, mmm I think I will go
-yeah, you're right
(again the same scenario, at this speed, it will take age to confess)
-bye Mister khan
He muttered something to himself, but enough audible to Zoya to listen
-what did you say?
-crazy things make you feel alive
she looked questioningly, he took her by her waist and closed the distance
(wait he will ...)
He put his lips on her, softly, without moving. Zoya closed her eyes to feel his lips, they are smooth as she imagined those months, better taste in real than in her wild dreams. He waited her to respond to a kiss, she parted her lips slowly and they moaned together when the lips were intertwined. He pulled her more firmly against him and she put her hands around his neck, and started by caressing his hair. She moaned, with joy, with hunger , the more she moaned and the more he deepened the kiss.
After what seemed to be age, they parted and rested their forehead again each other, their eyes still closed , both of them felt dizzy and happy
-How I dreamt about this for the last past 7 months Miss heaven, I've missed you so much, there is no single day I didn't think about you
- I though you will never do it Mister sexy,
They giggled, he lifted her off the ground and he kissed her again passionately. Between the kiss, they smiled and realized that this moment is for real, they are in each other arms, kissing and laughing.
-you are crasy, crasy
-I'm crazy about you miss heaven, crazy and madly in love with you
-I love you too, love you love you
With each "I love you" she put a small peck all over his face, his eyes, his cheeks, his dimples. He took her again in another mad kiss.
They both stopped to catch their breath.
-Mister khan, how is your coffee?
-black why?
She smiled and said
-no nothing, and she catched his lips within hers .
Asad and Zoya confessed their love that night, 7 month after their first meeting, they didn't care about time, family and even the driver who shouted on them. They were just happy, missing each other and kissing with so much love.
Life is not a bed of roses but it becomes easier with the beloved
