Shooting Stars 💫

Bestie

Sayiha's POV :

"I can't believe how aunty gave you permission to fly all over the way to Korea for shooting??", I ask Reina.

Every night I and Reina sit in balcony and chatter about our lives and college life.You know it's hard to accept the reality when College separates you from your best friend.

" I played tricks with mom. ", she replies in a gesture of pride.

" Tricks?? How??"

"I cried fake then blackmailed them. I said I'm the most unlucky girl to be a member of this strict family. God knows how Mom's heart melted seeing fake tears that I somehow managed from  eye drops. Lol"

"Since when you became so sly???", I ask being astonished.

"Since I entered college", she replies.

"Smart you. You were  our most  innocent friend once upon a time!"

"Those are gone moments. Our college has a different atmosphere that forced me to be sly"

"And here I'm the loner", I say sadly.

"No worries. Rudy is in your life ain't he? He'll light up your World like nobody else"

Blush automatically comes out after listening Rudra's name.

"You are blushing what's wronggg hmmmmm. You have feelings for him right??!", she asks.

"No nothing like that" I lie.

"C'mon Sayu. Don't lie to your bestie. One day you will get caught anyhow", she says.

"Okay okay I forced myself not to have crush but I failed. I think I have crush but how did you understand??"

"I knewwwww it!! Yasssss", she tells with a clap.

"Don't fly on cloud 9 now. Explain  how you   know about my feelings ??"

"You forgot I'm your best friend and best friend's instincts hit in a different way"

"I'm not yet sure like I find him cute and attractive but maybe this is just one sided, abusive, self harrasing crush type feelings that will end soon", I say rolling my eyes.

"Calm down stupid. I have a feeling that he likes you too"

"Maybe according to D.O he likes me too.But I can't trust D.O always you know.."

"Listen to me. I'm not telling you to trust D.o.
We all know he is a stupid, cunning, nonsense, idiot,hypocrite, liar etc etc.. But the way Rudy reacts when D.O tells anything about you is mysterious.", says Reina.

"What do you mean??"

"Rudy gets nervous and shy when others tease him taking your name"

She is right. I noticed that before.

"Girls, what are you talking about??", asks Rudra.

We get  panic attack after seeing him standing behind us in the balcony.

Did he overhear our conversation?

"Nothing special. We were  just  ummm counting stars", replies Reina.

"Yeah yeah c... Counting s.... Stars", I nervously add.

"Let's go inside. We'll play a game", says Rudra.

"What game?", I ask.

"Confession game" he replies

"PERFECT GAME ON PERFECT TIME", jumps out Reina being excited.
