Twisted Hatred

Nabah

We all had agreed in the car to go to another restaurant so that Mayank can also enjoy with us. Speaking of Mayank, I now have free blush from that little moment with him earlier.
We had just entered the restaurant and Heer and Aahana had already started to take pictures of themselves.
Mayank walked over to the counter as the waiters greeted him, he gently replied with a respectful smile to everyone.
He talked to the staff present there and then walked us over to a huge table, we all took our seats around the table.
Aahana, Adah and Heer sat together and started taking pictures, i sat beside Aahana and as Daniyal was about to sit beside me, Mayank gently pushed him aside.
"So, what do you guys want to eat?" Mayank asked us and then looked over at Daniyal as he spoke, "Sorry dude, but I want to sit with my sister, you can sit over there." Mayank said as he pointed to the chair beside Heer and smiled at Daniyal.
"Sure." Daniyal smiled at Mayank as he started walking towards the seat beside Heer.
"Uh, Daniyal. No need for you to go there," I held his wrist as I continued, "Mayank, you want to sit with Aahana right?" I said looking over at Mayank.
"Yes?" Mayank said slowly eyeing Daniyal.
I let go of Daniyal's hand and stood up from my seat.
"Sir here, I'll sit beside you and Daniyal can sit beside me. Is that okay?" I say as I stare directly into Mayank's eyes.
"Whatever you want, sky." He says as he winks at me and then glares at Daniyal as he walks away. I smile to myself at his playfulness.
"Sky?" Daniyal whispers to me as we take our seats.
"Yes that's what he used to call me when we were," I pause, "you know."

I still remember it was a winter night, we were in highschool and walking back home from tution. Me and Mayank always walked back home, late night walks with him were always my favourite.
"Nabah." Mayank said slowly walking beside me.
"Hmm?" I looked over at him.
"It's a beautiful name." He said with a small smirk.
"Thanks." I say as I look down, trying to hide my face which had become more red than a tomato.
"What does it mean?" He asked.
"The sky." I said as he looked up at the sky.
"It resembles you." He said slowly.
"What?" I asked, though I'd heard him the first time.
"Quiet, beautiful and never ending. A person can admire the sky's beauty for hours just like your face. Every time I look at it, I can't look away." He said, still looking at the sky with a small smile while I tried to calm my heart down which was about to explode of happiness.
"Mayank can we have Oreo ice cream?" I said slowly.
"Whatever you want, sky."

"And what did you used to call him?" I snap out of my thoughts as Daniyal looks at me with thousands of questions sparking in his eyes.
"What?" I stare at him as my smile slowly fades away.
"What did you used to call him?" He said with a cold face.
"Why?" I ask as I smile slowly. He's joking around, it's normal.
"Just answer the question Nabah." He said with an irritated tone. He isn't joking, he's very serious right now.

It was Chand raat, the night before Eid.
I was with Mayank as we were walking together in the moonlight.
I always wanted to spend the special days, the ones that mattered a lot to me, with the people I love, but he was enough.
"You know, you're supposed to look at the moon and wish." I say as he looks at me with a smile.
"Really?" He says and I nod. "Well you wish first then."
"I wish that you always stay by my side, always and forever." I say and smile slowly.
"I wish that if we ever go separate ways then we find our way back to each other." He said as my smile grew wider.
"Sky, look the moon looks so beautiful today, right?" Mayank said as he took my hand in his and I smiled as I looked at our hands.
"Mhm" I replied slowly.
"You aren't even looking, are you?" He said with an annoyed tone.
"I am looking at you, aren't I?" I said as he smiled slowly and leaned in to land a soft kiss on my forehead.

"Moon." I say slowly as Daniyal just looks at me.
"Guys, I ordered food for us, if anyone wants anything else just say it and they'll serve it to you. Also, don't look at the price, I'm paying." Mayank said and Aahana flashed a huge smile as Mayank continued,
"What would you like to have, sky?"
