The Moment She Saw Him

Part 12

Hamza POV

It was my first day , I never liked people and now I was in between so many hyper-active human beings who never liked to shut up . They were my bus-mates , unfortunately . There was this one girl from my standard , I think her name was Ziya , she introduced me to her friend , Sehar . She was wearing her hijab , with her brown eyes and thick eyelashes she was staring at me . I couldn't help but notice how the dimple appeared everytime she smiled and how pleasant her voice was .

She was an extrovert , she was friendly with everyone around her and I got to know a bit about her . It's been 3 weeks since I have started talking to her . Every morning when she boards the bus , she takes out her novel and starts reading .

Her eyes sparkle every time sunlight touches her face , her brown eyes are like the sunset sky . I have never felt like this before , not for someone I barely know .
She was in my class one time and she was singing , her voice is like a gentle breeze, soft and sweet. It's clear and pure, flowing smoothly like a river, sometimes rising high like a bird in the sky, and other times, it stays low and calm, like a whisper.

I wanted to know her favourite song , so I wrote " her fav song ? " on a small piece of paper and passed it to her friend , Sona , she smiled looking at the paper , she knew what I was going to do . She passed back the paper after writing something . I took a look at that and went running to the smart board to play that song.

It was Love Story by Taylor Swift.

She gave me a smile with a confused look , I smiled back . She started singing with her friends , she closed her eyes and was so into the song that she didn't even notice when I asked all her friends to stop singing so that her voice would be the only voice echoing in the room .
When the song was done she opened her eyes and had a confused look on her face , I started clapping and slowly the whole class was clapping for her . I love her voice . I Want to keep listening to it . All . My . Fucking . Life .

We texted each other almost everyday and I also gifted her some books she loved , the smile on her face when I told her I bought those books for her was priceless .

But yesterday I did something which I think made her uncomfortable , I told her that a girl from our college sent me a text, the moment she boarded the bus , she asked me about her , it was just a prank , I wanted to see how she would react , I wanted to know if she feels the same way I feel for her .

She was furious and I could see jealousy on her face , I gave her my phone , showed her my DM's and then turn off the phone , she was confused about what I was doing , I looked in her eyes and asked her " Why are you angry ? " , she realized that her face showed everything and just got up from the seat and was going to walk away .

I don't know what got into me and why I did what I did after that , but it was like my hand was not in my control . I held her wrist , she turned around and looked at my hand which was holding her wrist , I released her hand after realising what I did .

She didn't talk to me for the whole day and I really felt guilty for what I did .
Today morning , Ziya boarded the bus and sat on the seat in front of me , " Did you tell her something ? " , she asked .
" No , I didn't tell her anything , I don't know why I did what I did , but I held her wrist when she was walking away from my seat and I think I made her uncomfortable " .

She got up from the seat and went to Sehar , she told her something which was inaudible to me but then she shouted which made me jump as I was busy with my own thoughts.
" But why the fuck are you guys acting so weird , he just held your wrost , it's not a big deal , guysss , come on , you live in 2024 , it's okay even if a guy randomly comes and kisses you "

She smiled at that , I was looking at her when she turned my way , my smile faded and I did a shrug .

We walked to our classes together and also I texted her to call me and she actually did call me and we talked for hours about out lives and our households .

I live with my parents and it gets boring , I don't have many friends and the ones I call friends are too busy in their lives .Talking to Sehar makes me feel like I matter , I matter to her cuz she called me when I didn't expect her to .
