Third POV:

(Navaratri. (2022, September 26 - October 4).  for those who don't know what Navratri is, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navaratri )

During Navratri years back, Aysel, Isra and their few friends practised Garba. (a kind of folk dance) Isra had her brother drop her at the playground and forced him to join them. Aidan was threatened by his sister, if he denied her she would go and tell them about his secret crush on her best friend. It was a coincidence that Isra had caught him gawking at Aysel when she was going to stay over at their place one day and since then, Isra made him do many embarrassing things and lame pranks.

"Isra I don't like to play you know that and it's been long— probably like 3 years I have played Garba." He whined.

"I know but Aysel is going to be here we can. not. miss this chance to impress her. You've to ask her out today!" Isra replied sternly. This made Aidan stop in his tracks. "Okay hell no! I am leaving. You can tell whoever you want. I don't care." He said and tried to run away. But Isra had a metal grip on him.

"Come with me while I'm being nice you shithead!" Isra said trying to pull him

"Let me go while I'm being nice, Isra Lily Sai I don't want to hurt you." He retorted and pulled again.

"Lil, What are you doing here?" a soft voice spoke near them and they looked up at it. Once Aidan looked at Aysel, he stopped struggling. Isra inwardly smirked now was his chance. "Say your best pickup line to her" she whispered to him and dragged him towards her. "Hey, Aysie! Let me formally introduce you to my brother. This is Aidan." she gestured towards him. Aysel looked at him and beamed, making his heart go thumping. "Hey! I am Aysel" she said while forwarding her hand for a handshake.

"Hi!." he squeaked, making her chuckle. He cleared his throat and continued "ahem, What's your s? I think it must be pi/2 because you're the one." Aysel and Isra stared at him for a while, processing what he just said. Aysel just laughed and Isra openly cringed.

 "I am so sorry, He's not usually like this I swear. He hit his head on the way. That's the reason he's acting weird. We need to get ready. I will meet you in a bit. okay." Isra said giving a flying kiss to Aysel and dragging her brother away from there "It's alright.." She said, still laughing. 

Aidan was in a daze looking at her. He didn't care if his pickup line was cringe. All that mattered was it made her laugh, the laugh he always thought of as melody. 

She waved at him while saying "See you on the ground" and still in a daze he nodded yes still getting dragged by his sister. "Is that your best? SERIOUSLY!? pi/2?? What were you thinking, Aidan!?" She scolded him. He was shaken out of his la-la land and he realised what he had done.

"Oh Merlin, for fuck sake-" *smack*

"LANGUAGE!" Isra scolded "sorry" he mumbled.

"But why didn't you stop me before I said that!? What would she think of me now!" He argued

"I thought it would get better at some point! Look brother I may love you and all but if ever you do this to anyone, they are surely going to leave you on seen. I can promise that."

(a/n: ykifyk)

"And that makes me feel so much better!" He drawled.

"Well, whatever's done is done. Now I have kept your outfit for tonight in the changing room, go change and start practising! She's good" she said and went to prepare for the night.
