LOVE OF DEJA VU? [ENG VERS.]

🎭Chapter 2🎭

YN POV

I just arrived at the mall's parking lot and am waiting for others to arrive. I guess I drove way faster compared to others lmao. The first person to arrive after me is Danish. He parked his car really right beside mine; oh well, that's kind of safer for me, actually. I immediately walked out of my car and went directly to Danish as he entered the mall.

"Hey YN, is being a race car driver somehow your dream career? You should be careful next time," Danish advised me.

I laughed awkwardly. It feels weird when a new guy you just met gives you a lecture.

"Hehehehe, I never thought that I drove that fast earlier," I replied while laughing awkwardly.

"How about we go there while waiting for others?" Danish suggested as he pointed at the nearest cafe in the mall. I nodded, and both of us went into the cafe and ordered some drinks for us.

"So, Danish, where did you study before?" I asked to break the silence between me and Danish.

"Hurm? Oh, I studied in Johor before. I transferred to Kuala Lumpur because it's easier and closer to my family," Danish explained, then took a sip of his coffee.

I only nodded when I heard his reason. Can I be honest with you guys? When I looked at Danish up and down, he really did remind me of someone, but I just can't remember who. Can I once meet him and then forget it all? Impossible. Maybe it's just doppleganger things? I don't know.

"Danish! YN! That's quick of you guys to arrive earlier than us! Were you both racing cars or something?!" Hazwan appeared along with Izzwan and Haris. The three of them usually go anywhere in one car together.

"Are you being raised by Tarzan or what? Keep it down, Hazwan! I'm going to tell your father about your tarzan behavior in public," Izzwan said, hitting Hazwan's shoulder. He was annoyed with his cousin's yelling.

"Man, can't you not be the reporter each time I show my wildness?" Hazwan said it in an annoyed tone.

"Well, I may get a bonus for reporting." Izzwan laughed so hard, while Hazwan just rolled his eyes.

"Oh? Hazwan and Izzwan are cousins." Danish asked, and Haris nodded.

"Yeah, those monkeys are indeed related to each other since their acts are the same," Syahidan said as he walked towards us with Amin and Rafieqi.

"Monkeys? Your mouth sure got no insurance, huh?" Hazwan said, annoyed.

"Well, you guys did yell in the mall, so technically, you guys are monkeys that escaped to the city." Rafieqi backed up Syahidan and laughed.

"Now you guys. Stop this fight before we miss the movie's intro," Haris said, stopping the light fight between his friends. Usually, Haris will be the middle person if fights occur. Both sides now relaxed, and all of us continued our walk to the cinema.

Author POV

After some hours, the eight friends were done with their movie and were now walking to the mall's parking lot.

"I swear to God that you will be chased by that Nun ghost from that movie! Why would you suggest the Nun 2 movie?! And somehow I agreed to it!?" Syahidan nags, still feeling nervous from that horror movie. Rafieqi and Hazwan just laughed out loud and teased Syahidan more.

"For me, it's not that bad even with jumpscare," YN commented.

"Not bad!? Argh, come on, Amin, Rafieqi. Let's head home." Syahidan said, waving goodbye to others. He pulled both Amin and Rafieqi quickly, then got in his car.

"Okay... I'm going to head home too; bye, you guys," YN said, but Haris stopped her.

"Hey YN Wait a second. How about having Danish follow you from behind until you arrive at your house? I mean, it's already night," Haris suggested. Danish immediately turned to Haris with a surprised face.

"Eh? It's fine! I don't want to burden Dani-" Before YN could finish, Danish interrupted.

"No problem, dear; it's not a big deal," Danish replied.

After some minutes, Haris, Hazwan, and Izzwan headed home, and only YN and Danish left the parking lot.

"Hey Danish? Are you sure you don't mind?" YN asked for confirmation.

"Of course I don't mind, and Haris has a point. It's dangerous for a young woman to drive alone at night. For at least I should follow you from behind until you arrive safely," Danish said and smiled.

So, both YN and Danish started their engines and drove toward YN's apartment. YN can see Danish's car following hers through her front mirror. After a while, they finally arrived at YN's apartment, and YN parked her car.

"Thanks for accompanying me back home, Danish. It felt much safer." YN thanked Danish, and he nodded and smiled.

"You are most welcome, Hun. I mean, YN. Sorry, I kind of slipped that," Danish said as his cheeks went crimson red.

YN's cheeks also turned a little red, and she immediately tried to change the topic. "Hun huh? You must already have a girlfriend then," YN teased, but Danish seems to space out a little.

"Hello? Earth to Danish? Are you there?" YN called, and Danish woke up from his daydream.

"Oh, it's nothing; I just remembered someone special," Danish said.

"I see you're taken already. The girl must be lucky to have you as her boyfriend," YN said in a somehow sad tone.

"She's lucky. But she still doesn't see that yet. So, I need to wake her up," Danish said with a serious tone and turned to YN.

YN is surprised by Danish's words; what does he mean by that?

"Anyway, I will be going now; bye and Assalamualaikum," Danish said, driving away.
