Forever Mine

1| Emotions

-: ✧ Aniqa's POV

"Zainab what should I wear? I'm so confused, please help me." I said to Zainab as I'm on video call with her right now.

Today, we all friends are going to meet each other after two years. I have a best friends circle. People said friends group didn't last forever even I used to believe that, before meeting my buddies, and now we prove them wrong. We - Abhimaan, Zainab, Arsalaan, Maisha, Kiara, Harshit, me and how can I forget Mihir bhai (he is also my cousin brother).

We have been friends since our teenage years,actually Arsalaan, Abhimaan,Kiara and Harshit are mine, Zainab's and Maisha's seniors. We all did our 12th from the same school. We were friends from 8th and 11th. I, Zainab and Maisha were in 8th while they were in 11th. When we first meet each other, I was nervous as hell and confused if friendship would work or not and now they have become my life. When we first met, I had no idea that they would become this important to me. I'm blessed to have them in my life. They make me laugh when I'm not even in the mood to smile.

I can't express what I'm feeling right now. Excitement and nervousness are flooding through my heart and mind. I'm so happy. I'll finally see him after two years. I'm going to meet my Abhimaan, my maan, my Mr. Grumpy, my khadoos maan...My chain of thought broke, hearing Zainab's voice.

"Aniqa why are you blushing??" she asked me, with a teasing look. Even a thought of him, I'll start blushing....Urghh I hate this so much. 'As if you're telling the truth' my subconscious mocked me. "Aniqa kiske khayalo mai khogyi" Zainab said, bringing me back again to the earth from my lala World. "Shut up Zainab and what are you wearing?? I said, in order to change the topic.

"I am going mumma...bye" I said to mumma. "Aaram se Anu or when will you come back?" "Pta nhi mumma kab tak aaungi. Mihir bhai gye?" I asked. "Ha Mihir chala gaya. Jaa tu bhi ab aur jaldi aa jana." mumma said to me. 'Indian mom's and their obsession with jaldi aa jana ufff' I said, in my mind. "Jii mumma, ab mai jaa rahi hu varna aur bhi late ho jaaungi aur ha mai Mihir bhai ke sath aaungi. Okay bye." I said to mumma while running, FYI- I'm late as always.

Mihir bhai has already left because he had some work to do. After finishing his work, he'll meet us at the location. While I have to pick up Zainab first.

─── -: ✧ Author's POV

Mihir, Maisha, Harshit and Kiara were already there. Mihir was continuously trying to call Aniqa, and finally she picked up the call after 5 mins.

‌On Call~

Mihir : Hello, Aniqa, are you fine?? Where were you?? Why were you not answering my calls?? When will you be here?? Do you have any idea-

Aniqa : Bs bhai bs. Kitne questions kroge aur? mujhe to bolne do- Aniqa said, cutting off Mihir.

Mihir : Kahan thi tu?? Aur kab tak aayegi??

Aniqa : Sorry I was driving, and I will be there in five minutes. Okayy bye!!

Mihir : bye. (~Call ended)

On the other hand, Harshit was trying to call Abhimaan and Arsalaan.

‌On call~

Harshit : Finally you guys pick up my damn call.

Arsal : If you are done with your drama, then directly come to the point.

Harshit : When are you guys coming?

Arsal : In ten minutes.

(~Call ended) After saying this, Arsal hung up the call.

─── -: ✧ Aniqa's POV

"Zainu jaldi kar yarr." I said to Zainab as she is taking so much time in fixing her dress. "Oohhoo aakhir kiske liye itna tayyar ho rahi hai" I said with a teasing smile. I know her secret, she likes Arsal *shhh*. After all we are besties and besties should know each other's secrets. "Anu shut up." She said while her face turned like a tomato. "Oohhoo dekho dekho ab to ma'am blush bhi kar rahi hai" I said teasing her more. "Ab late nahi ho raha tujhe, chal ab jaldi, Dramebaaz" She said trying to change the subject and I laughed, decided not to tease her more for now as we are already late.

We just entered in the cafe. I was already emotional and after seeing them, my emotions are on high level, and I'm hating this. I don't know why but I can't control my emotions. Anyways, I'm so happy. Mihir bhai, Harshit, Kiara and Maisha are present here. Seeing them, I and Zainab quickly rushed into the cafe and hugged them. But, there's a part of me that was waiting for someone.
And to great luck he is not present here, lazy jerk, huh.

"Lo aa gye lazy ass.'' Maisha said, indicating Abhi and Arsalaan. Hearing her, we started laughing. I turned to see him, my breath hitched. He is looking hot as always. My maan no less than a Greek god. I didn't realise that I was him shamelessly until he cleared his throat. Ahh this is so embarrassing.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, this is only your right, trust me I love this." He whispered so that only I could hear. My breath hitched, feeling him so close to me. I turned my head to ensure that no one was watching us.

"I miss you so damn much Iqa." And that's it, I could feel tears forming in my eyes. Please Abhimaan don't say anything or else I'll end up crying. I said in my mind. Before I could say anything Arsalaan came to meet me. After the meeting section, they settled on their seats. I excused myself as I needed to calm down first. Seeing Abhi, that night started moving in front of eyes and no one knew about that except Zainab.

I came to the outer area to get fresh air. I was taking deep breaths. I hate when you have to take a deep breath before speaking cause you know you're so close to crying and I didn't want that especially in front of them that's why I came here. Suddenly I feel someone's presence behind me. "Iqa what are you doing here?" Abhimaan asked, fear rushed over me. Quickly wiping my tears, I turned back to face him. "Actually I was attending a call." I lied to him.

"Chale ab?" I asked, smiling at him. "Pehle aap toh chaliye." he said in a gentleman's style. I smiled at him.
