Traces of love

Chapter 3

Sarim's pov:
After drinking water, i was going to my room when the doorbell rang. I went to open the door. As i opened the door, a girl was standing there. She was holding a box . She looked at me for a while and then went inside completely ignoring my presence.
" Hello miss where are you going? You didn't even tell me about yourself. Who are you?" I said with the annoyed expressions.
But she ignored me again and went inside. I too went inside as i was very tired and wanted to sleep. I entered and saw her talking sweetly with my mom. I ignored them and went to my room.

Ayra's pov:
I entered the lounge and saw a women of my mom's age sitting there.
"Assalam Alaikum auntie." I said.
" Walaikum Assalam! Who are you beta? Do i know you?" She asked.
"I am your neighbour auntie. Mom sent brownies for you." I told her.
" Thankyou so much beta. Come sit here. Actually, we're new here so i don't know anyone that's why i didn't recognise you" she told me politely.
She is a very kind and polite lady, i thought.
" Apka naam kya ha beta?" she asked.
" My name is Ayra" I told her.
" Such a nice name. Ap betho me apkay lye kuch lay k ati hun"
" No no auntie plz menay abhi he breakfast kiya ha me to bas ye brownies denay ai thi apko"
We started talking. She asked me about my family and what i'm studying. She told me about her family too and why they shifted here leaving their previous house.
While we were talking, two girls came. I guess they are her daughters.
" Ayesha maryam meet Ayra, she's our neighbour"
"Hello, how are you?" asked ayesha.
" I'm good" I replied.
" Beta ab aap log baatain karo me Ali ko chai day k ati hun" she said and went to the kitchen.
I started talking to the girls. They're so friendly. We talked about studies, books, fashion and what not. It was actually fun talking to them.
" Okay girls, i should go now. I enjoyed a lot talking to you guys" i said smiling.
" Ayra api, plz stay for a while. Itna maza aa raha tha." Both of them hugged me saying that.
" Ab aap log ana na meray ghar because we're friends now." i said.
We exchanged numbers and then i came back home.

When i went home, it was 3:00 pm already. I had nothing to do so I went to my dad's study with my new novel. It's Verity by Colleen Hoover. I love psychological thrillers so i was excited to read this novel. Dad wasn't in his study, he might be taking a nap so i sat on the couch and started reading the book.
I don't know when time passed as i was so engrossed in the book. Our househelp knocked on the door and called me for dinner.

As i went in the dining room, Mom, dad and bhai were already sitting there. I sat beside dad as usual. We talked while eating and i told dad about my new friends Ayesha and maryam. It was a good day after all. Then i went to my room to sleep as i have to wake up early tomorrow because i've promised mom that i'll go for a morning walk with her.
I changed in my night suit, did my night routine and was going to shut the window when i saw Him. Yes, the same boy whom i ignored " My new neighbour". His room's window is exactly in front of my room's window so i can clearly see in his room because his room's lights are turned on. He was doing something on his laptop. He was looking very handsome. I was checking him out when i noticed that he is also looking at me. I got confused because i was caught staring at him. He gave me a glare and closed his curtains
Badtameez.

So, here the chapter ends. I hope you like it. This is the start so there are very less scenes of Ayra and Sarim together. But, in the up coming chapters you'll get to read more about them.
I just need your support guys❤️
