Chapter 10: A Flight to Dreamland

DEDICATED TO@nowxxmeufool

Because she is a great writer and my first friend on this platform. You should all check her work out. it's amazing.

Now we are just one or two chapters away from the grand entry of One Direction in my storyline. So stay tuned people coz i am sure you don't wanna miss the magnificent entry of these lads.

"No, I want an exact Harry Potter wand" Kashaf is blabbering about different things that she wants from London. What should I say to her when I, myself, am thinking about the same stuff? I think I'll buy a Hermione wand for myself. We're both the same I feel.

"Girls I expected you would finish off your packing. Why is it taking too long Zara?" My mom came into the room looking all panicked and anxious.

"Nothing, mom. There is some problem with Kashaf because she is the one who packs one dress, then unpacks it, chooses another one from the wardrobe, packs it and then unpacks it again." I point at Kashaf who is going insane while deciding about the clothes that I am going to wear during my stay in London. Although it's a short stay but Kashaf wants me to look extra hot and happening (I don't think I can ever look like that, though).

"Come on Zar, at least be a bit thankful to me. I am helping you out to pick some great outfits and you are being a total bitch" Kash snaps at me.

"Kashaf, never use such words for your elder sister" Mom commands Kashaf and I choose to laugh hysterically. I just find it too cute whenever Kashaf is using such words for me. I never felt bad. She is a part of me. But my mom always keeps telling her that she should show some respect towards me.

"That's fine Mom. I am leaving tomorrow. She won't get anyone to bitch around." I say randomly realizing later that I am getting stared at by my mom for using the word 'bitch'. Both Kashaf and I suppress our chuckles as mom leaves the room.

"I love you Zara dear, you know that, right?" Mom is crying at the airport and I feel helpless, totally helpless.

"Momma, she will come back in a few days, let her go. I am also your daughter. You never showed that love towards me" Kashaf is trying to ease out the situation.

"Well that's because Kash, you are not her real daughter, we just picked you up from the garbage bin" I smirk and get nudged by my mom.

"Bii........scuit. Want to have a biscuit Zara". Kash clenches her teeth and hides the 'bitch' part and this breaks everyone into laughter.

"Zara, hey"

I hear a familiar voice somewhere from a distance. I turn around to see the same dimpled-smile boy who had made me angry a few days back and since then is just trying to hide from me.

"Zaroon, hello, umm... Mom, Dad, Kash.... Meet Dr. Zaroon, my colleague." I just quickly introduced him to the family because I seriously don't know what I should do next.

"Hello aunty, uncle. I am so glad to meet you all. You all are so nice....." While he was talking to my parents, Kashaf pulled me closer and asked me if this was really Zaroon and I nodded.

"Seriously Mississippi, you need to re-think. He is so handsome and so good. I mean look at mom and dad. I can bet they are thinking about getting you people married."

"Shut up Kash. I can't take this shit from you now. Okay."

Papa comes closer to me and says "Zara say your goodbyes now, we are leaving in a minute."

"Mommy, I love you, stay strong, don't worry about us, we will be fine" I hug my momma bear. I love her and my heart is sinking at the thought of going away from her. Next in line is Kashaf. "Babe, keep rocking, I love you."

"Zar, don't be so over dramatic. Just tell Louis Tomlinson, that I am still waiting for him to follow me on Twitter" Kash acts as if she doesn't care that I am going.

"Yeah yeah, I am sure he will be the happiest person on earth when I will tell him about you"

At a little distance is Zaroon, giving me a heartwarming smile, trying to act natural as if he did nothing wrong.

"All the best Doctor. I am sure the presentations will go good. May the odds be ever in your favour dear Katniss"

Quoting hunger games line is just the right way to make me smile.

"I hope that too." I answer him.

"Can I get your email address or number? Oh forget it, I'll ask from your sister. She appears quite friendly."

"Got to go, bye"                                  

With this, I and papa board our planes and we take this long flight to London Heathrow airport. It's a 6 hours flight. Let me sleep because I don't want to sleep during my stay in the city which never sleeps. London, here I come.
