The Moment She Saw Him

Part 11

My mom woke me up today morning , normally I wake up when my alarm rings but today I didn't wake up , no idea , why .
I got ready , ate 2 boiled eggs and drank a cup of milk , and was waiting for the bus to arrive . 

After 10-15 minutes , the bus arrived and I left home . I boarded the bus and saw Hamza looking at me from the last seat , his eyes looked like he didn't sleep last night , they were all puffed up and red . I looked away from him and sat on my seat , and was just counting every passing second , just to meet Ziya and end this awkwardness . Hamza is the first one to board the bus everyday and we are the second stop . Ziya lived a little far from my house , so it took 10 minutes everyday to reach her stop but today it was a loonggg wayyy . 

There was a fire in one of the buildings on the way and there were so many people and fire trucks and police cars , so it was a whole 15 minutes late to her stop . Finally when our bus driver requested the cops to let us go as we were late to school , they allowed us and here we were , at Ziya's stop . She boarded the bus , she looked at Hamza with furrowed brows and then looked at me . She came with furrowed brows and a , what-the-fuck-is-wrong , expression , and for some time she didn't speak anything 

She got up from our seat and sat in the seat in front of Hamza and asked him something , I didn't bother to look at them , after 5 minutes she came back to me , " I know what happened " , she said , " But why the hell are you both acting so weird , he just held your wrist , it's not a big deal , guysss , come on , you live in 2024 , it's okay even if a guy comes up and randomly kisses you " .

He chuckled at that , a faint laughter , I heard him and turned back to look at him who was already looking at me and when he saw me look at him , his gaze softened and his smile faded and he did a shrug . I smiled back and turned to face Ziya , " All ok now ? " , she asked me with a smile , " yes ofc , how could something go wrong when I have you " , I replied with a hug .

Things were normal now , we walked to our classes together , bitched about people passing by us and three of us giggling . Seeing us , our English Teacher , Miss.Sarah , stopped us . " Where are you all headed to ? " , she asked us while giving us the stay-away-from-boys look . " Just headed to our classes , respected teacher " , Hamza replied with a sarcastic tone . " Yes , I can surely see that , Hamza please leave , I need to have a word with Ziya and Sehar " .

Hamza left and she took us to the staff room where all the teachers and professors were gathered and gave us a hour long speech on how girls should maintain distance from boys , we just listened to her without uttering a word and then ofc we were late to our class and our Economics Professor started ranting , we told him that Miss.Sarah had stopped us do tell us why we should stay away from boys anddd the best part is whenever we take Miss.Sarah's name , he starts smiling . Definitelyyy something's going on ;)

We were done with our classes and the whole day Sona , Anu and Yami kept shouting my name in Hamza's class so that he would notice me and he actually did notice me two times . Lunch break was fun and Sona decided to bring her guitar and sing our favourite songs in her sweet voice and we enjoyed for an hour . And for the next Economic hour , Me , Yashi and Ziya decided to bunk the class and do some art with Yashi and that is when I realised that I am a pretty good painter . 

I reached home and called out my Mom because I was hungry and my stomach was growling . 
" Yeaahh , tell me " , she shouted from the room on the second floor . " I'm Hungry maa " , I said and she came downstairs and told me that there was some rice in the fridge . I warmed it up in the microwave and then Maa left for some shopping with her friends . 

It was 7 by the time I completed my studies , I took my phone and there was a text from Hamza .

Hamza : call me on this number , whenever you're free 
097684xxxx 

I decided to call him now as I was free and mom wasn't home . It was ringing , and on the second ring he picked up . Pretty fast .

Hamza : Heyy , who's this ?

Me : It's me , Sehar .

Hamza : ohh , you called , hehe , I didn't think you would actually call me .

Me : Why did you think so ?

Hamza : ummm...cuz you're a girl and girls are always busy doing something or the other .

Me : mhmm...I was busy doing things but now i'm free as my mom isn't home.

We talked for an hour then I decided to have my dinner and go to bed .
