"You said you do...
Those honey-brown eyes! how they glow like liquid gold when the sunlight hits them just right. Wait, are they looking at me? Oh Allah, he's staring right at me with that same devilish grin he used to wear back in our school days. Am I dreaming?
. . .Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
I was. I must've drifted off after my Fajr prayer. That dream... definitely the work of Shaytaan! Astagfirullah!
Yet, a small part of me was happy to see him again, even if only in a dream. After all, nowadays I only get glimpses of him through fleeting moments on social media.
To see you, even for a second, is a fortune to me... that's enough."Snap out of it," I tell myself.
"Don't be a crybaby in the morning." There’s no time to indulge in these thoughts. I’ve got to get to university.
Without breakfast, I rushed out of the hostel and headed for the main road. An auto-rickshaw is my best option; my university is 5 kilometers away, and time is ticking.
You see, I live quite far from the campus. My hostel is in the city center, which my parents insisted on, while the university is tucked away in a quieter area.
After a 20-minute ride, I arrived. My friends, Asma and Martha, had already saved me a seat. We're in the final year of our BBA program, and life’s chaotic especially now.
I miss the carefree days of my earlier years. Oh, how time flies.
After enduring a long lecture, we finally get a break before the next class. My besties, already knowing I skipped breakfast, are practically dragging me to the cafeteria.
Sitting down, I pull out my phone and start scrolling through Facebook. The first post that catches my eye is him posing with his friends on a hill track.
Of course, it’s only a tagged post. We aren’t friends on social media... not anymore.
As always, I lose myself in his honey brown orbs and that dazzling smile.
How long has it been? When will I finally free myself from his enchantment?
Perhaps... not in this lifetime.
