After Ahad left, I laid on my bed smiling crazily.He bought a dark chocolate for me to ease my cramps.
Idiot! though the smile remained on my lips. He is seriously an idiot.Honestly, I don't face a lot of pain but....I can't tolerate these mild ones. Even these were soon uncomfortable..Its do irritating, but I wonder, despite of my regular mood swings and getting cranky, how did he figured out I was on my periods!
This won't be wrong to conclude that he does notice even smallest things. He notices even slightest hesitation. Sometimes, this talent of his hurts him a lot when he notices that the person infront of him is trying to ignore him or is lying or whatever it is.
This is a different thing in us, when he notices even slightest hesitation, I don't give a shit to the road I am waking on. We have been friends since 7th. He has been always understanding, cool, generous and loving.But, can never remain chill or let his mind in peace.He is always ready to panic, he is---Damint, who the hell is calling
What!did I forgot to send notes to Sadiya.Oh! for God's Sake!
"Hello, walikum asalam...sorry....I was about to....okay, take care,goodbye.. Yes sure...Khuda haffiz."
I had hardly hanged up the call, when a knock on my door gave my head a little jerk.
"May I come in?" Asked a familiar rough masculine voice.
"Yes, sure" I stood adjusted my clothes while I requested him to come in.
"Haffiz please come in" I requested again after a brief hesitation.
The door opened revealing a tall boy with handsome face, broad shoulders, hazel eyes, high nose bridge, Vieny hands. His rough way of waking froze me for a sec or more untill I recovered finally.
"Hey..... How are you?"
Wait, was this me speaking why was I so nervous.
It wasn't his first time to encounter me in my room, but, I couldn't exactly figure out what was happening. Every time he moved closer, my body froze, refusing to work, It wasn't because he was one of the handsome boy in our campus, ofcourse I have never had a stupid crush on him-which was my way of flexing, when girls would shout his name during our basketball tournament--Ah Ah!you guessed it right, he plays basketball so cool and with every planned move ie, why is has been our captain of our team, the day he had gave a grand entery in the school...I was too exhausted today and lost in memories after what Ahad did.No No Nooo I have never had even a slightest attraction on Haffiz-my neighbour, I even managed to not fall for Ahad's looks even, who is 20x more handsome guy than him.It's worth mentioning that, while Haffiz is our basketball captain from 3 years. Ahad has been our football captain from 5 years straight!
The way Ahad's dark black and long hair falls on his chocolate eyes. While, his strong legs kick the foothball--That's stunning, Haffiz's cool plays are nothing to Ahad's fierce way of playing. While Haffiz plays cooly with proper plan .Ahad plays ruthlessly, fierceness buring in his eyes and with proper calculation.
Haffiz has been my batchmate and neighbour since the Day He shifted to our Iqbal colony. He often comes here, I wish he could be really good friend but he and Ahad never get along....So, It becomes sometimes really difficult to handle the situation when thay tirelessly give comebacks everytime they meet --which is usually when Haffiz accompanies me while Ahad waits for me right to the Zahir bookshop few minutes away from school so that we can enter our campus together..Haffiz often leaves me there when Ahad accompanies me.
They both hate each other when one amongst the other accompanies me .And that's totally weird --like..what the hell, not kidding but sometimes it does become hectic to control my laughing issues when they fight like toodlers and that too on main road-For God's Sake!-That's so funny.
Once, when Ahad and Haffiz were busy giving each other comebacks, a 7 year old of same school saw them fighting and laughed on thir heck faces so hard that after few seconds his mother also burst out laughing. They even stopped few people moving by and a lollipop fell from his mouth on road. That was so hilarious. I swear upon Allah, Ahad wanted to kill that kid, if only he didnt had a heart of gold, he adores kids a lot, but talking about Haffiz.He, literally bullied the kid...the kid was so traumatized that one day. He visited Ahad and me when we were playing chess. He came crying and explained the while story to us .Ahad hugged him and took him to the basketball court.Haffiz was busy playing basketball when Ahads rough hands fell on his shoulders in the middle of the game forcing him to turn. To my surprise, Haffiz pushed that little kid, he started crying. Haffiz took no pity in him and was about to use a shifty word against him when Ahad held him by his collar, punched him on his face. His eyes fell on me and he realized my presence. He froze, his face reddened, he moved towards me and tried to explain. But Ahad held my wrist and whispered to leave the place along with the kid right there.I honestly had no interest in what the heck he was gonna say.Nevetherless,he has always been nice to me but cranky towards others .
I wanted to find out the answer of why did he bullied the kid, when he appears to be a good mentor for ones. But again that was none of my business, I--
"Are you not gonna ask me to sir down?"
Haffiz asked with suspicious eyes as if I was stealing something. Hell!have I been lost for so long.
"Ah!yes, sit down" I moved my hand on the back of my neck-embarrased
"Since, when did you needed permission to sit down in my room, brother?" I moved towards my study room got few books ..quickly sent notes to Sadiya.And turned, only to see Hafiz's red cheecks.I ignored his sudden change in color and handled the books.
"Since you froze for atleast 5 minutes straight, holding my gaze with tiny smile on your lips."
He recovered so quickly that I jerked inside but the coldness on my face remained.
What!5min straight-Shit, Holding his gaze-double shit.
Trust me brother. I was not playing with your heck gaze, I was just lost in my thoughts.
"No, Sorry" I opened my books and sat beside him." I was thinking of something." I started my work, It was already late and I didn't wanted to waste my time any further in tge explaination-I need to study.I hope he didn't lengthen the stupid topic just for the sake of conversation.
"Iman" haffiz cried, I almost didn't heard him. I looked up and saw him already looking lost in something I couldn't tell.He gave a brief pause before finally saying. "Can you explain the applications of Archemdies principle?".
Thank the Lord for small things, he didn't brought that stupid topic, but with the brief pause he gave.It took me few seconds to come up with an answer
THE BRIEF PAUSE HE GAVE.. d-d-did he got to know I am on my periods, what if-
"Are you alright?" Haiffiz asked, giving me 3rd jerk -I guess "Yeah,so...umm....yeah it's actually...." I explained, he listened, he asked, I answered .I knew today is going to be a late study session. Anyone can tell, the time Haffiz starts discussion or studying.It would atleast last for 2 hours straight. But I was also prepared for the explanations. Studying with Haffiz was excellent.You could ask, he would ask,it is always a deep discussion on topics....
