Just Hold On

15

----Divya's POV----

I don't why everyone was hiding something from me. It feels so weird.

I guess I'll just talk to them on Monday and see what's going on.

"Hey, let's go,"Mahek said walking into the restaurant.

"Where?"I asked.

"I can't tell you, bus chup chap challo,"she said.

"Actually, I have work to do,"I said.

I didn't want to go anywhere right now.

"Please,"she said.

I sighed.

"Fine,"I said and left.

We got to where she had planned.

"Come on,"she said and I followed.

We went and she opened the door.

"SUPRISE!!!" Everyone yelled. "Happy Birthday!!!"

"Oh my God! This is...wow thank you so much,"I said.

"Come on, let's get this party started!!" The guys said.

We all started to enjoy ourselves. This was so sweet of them. I can't believe they did this, especially since we had only known each other for a little while.

I also noticed that all my favorite songs were playing in the background.

"Time to cut the cake,"Husna said.

We went to where she had it set and I cut it.

Everyone got a piece and they all sat down to eat it at different places.

-----Pooja's POV------

I looked around and saw everyone was sitting, eating cake and talking.

"I'm going to go outside and get some fresh air,"I said.

"Okay,"Divya said.

I went to the balcony and ate there. I don't know why I had to be outside. It's not like I had a problem with being with everyone.

"Can I join you?"Someone asked.

I turned to see who it was.

"Sure,"I said.

"So, why are you alone?"Waqas asked.

"I don't know, I just had to get some fresh air,"I said.

"Oh,"he said.

"Yeah,"I said.

We started talking about random things. Saying stories and laughing.

"Have you been in love?" He asks.

"I'd like to say no, but I think that would be a lie. Only it wasn't the nice, quiet, real type of love. It was the kind that kept you until 3 am because couldn't stop feeling the absence of his arms. It was kind that made you wish it was winter, so you wouldn't have to smell the summer air you met him in. It was the kind that made you feel like you were burning and I thought it was okay. It took me a while to figure out that hellfire are not the same thing."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"It's okay. Have you?"I asked.

"No."

"How do imagine it then?"

"I imagine it as two people out on a balcony when there is a party going on inside. I imagine they would tell each other stories and laugh in each others company."

"Sort of like this,"I said.

"Yes, exactly like this,"he said.

I was going to say something but Mahek came and said to come inside. We went inside.

"Okay, I just want to say thank you all for organizing this. It means a lot to me, mostly because we all haven't even known each other for a full month yet. So thank you so much,"Divya said.

We all said something like no problem or no worries.

After a bit, everyone left and us girls cleaned up and went to sleep.

I couldn't fall asleep, I kept thinking what he meant by, exactly like this.

-----Waqas' POV-----

"I'm so tired!" Hussain complained.

"Same,"I said.

"So did you talk to her?"He asked.

"Yep,"I said.

"And, what happened,"he said.

I told him what happen.

"Seriously?"He asked.

"Ya,"I said.

"Leh lo, bachari soch kar pagal ho gi hu. Yeh kya kiya,"he said.

"Your such an idiot,"I said.

"Okay, but I'm your favorite idiot,"he said.

"Here we go,"I said.

"You started it,"he said.

"I'm going to sleep,"I said and left.
