I had been waiting for the next class ever since that very first day......and finally, that day had come!
I was getting ready, heading there with my father for the long-awaited class! My heart was pounding in eager anticipation! I had forgotten his face before, but this time, I made a silent promise to myself: “I would never forget it again. I was eagerly waiting for him to arrive!”
The moment I stepped into the classroom, my eyes desperately started searching for him! My heart was craving, longing, silently praying to see him just once!
No! That’s a lie if I say only once......No......that’s a big lie! How could it be just once?
“I wish...... and I truly pray to Allah—either to freeze time whenever I’m with him, or to make us meet again and again...... forever and always! Ya Allah! I want him in Jannah! I want to see him in Jannah!”
So~not for once...... but forever!
The waiting hours always feel like forever! Yes, it was the same that day!
I knew time would fly fast when I’d be with him, but during those waiting hours, time didn’t even know how to walk!
“Time always flies when we’re together, but when we’re apart—far away from each other, counting the days until we meet again—time doesn’t even know how to walk!? It’s so cruel!”
After a while, he arrived, and just like that, his face came flooding back to me! It's HIM—the cute yet gentle guy! My cheeks flushed with warmth, my ears turning red once again as I secretly stole glances at him! He began teaching us, but I couldn't focus on anything other than him!
I can't remember anything more than that...... He was teaching us while I was secretly staring only at him! Then, our honorable director came and informed us that our class had to move to another classroom because the number of students had increased, and our current classroom was too small for us. He informed us that our class would be shifted to a larger room.
At first, I didn’t like the idea of moving because I feared that cute yet gentle guy wouldn’t be our teacher in the so-called ‘larger classroom.’ I even made backup plans for myself—to switch rooms or change my schedule if he wasn’t teaching there. I was scared they might not let me stay in his class! But later on, I realized how lucky I was that we shifted—because......“That cute, gentle guy gifted me unforgettable, beautiful, and sweet moments in the larger classroom!”
I know...... you want to know his name, right!?...... Well, guess what? I found out his name in that larger classroom! And honestly, his name—and its meaning—are just as sweet as he is!
But yeah...... I have a confession!
I had to lie to my cute mam to know his name...... I lied, saying that my father wanted to know his name, but no...... it was actually ME—who wanted to know! But damnnnn...... how could I just ask him like that!? What if he doesn't like it? So, I had to lie to my mam to know his name......
I mean, come on...... HOW COULD I JUST GO UP AND ASK HIM LIKE THAT!?
What if he didn’t like it? What if it felt weird?
So yeah...... I had to come up with a little lie to get my answer!~~~~~~ Hehe!
I got to know his name on my 3rd class! In that large classroom! Mam was talking with me while he was staring at us playfully yet gently......He was smiling cutely that time, watching us while we were talking in the class......I noticed that......
“He looks so cute when he smiles!”
“I couldn’t stop staring for a second! My heart was quietly dancing—and I don’t even know why, but it felt like he was smiling just for me!......”
So, she was asking me about myself and my family, blah blah blah. I asked her a few questions too. And then—Lastly—and FINALLY—I asked her...... what's 'HIS' name? She looked lil' bit surprised, but then she told me his sweet name. The name itself—and its meaning—are just as sweet and cute as him!
Its meaning? "The beloved one!" (Blushing me~~~~~~)
“The moment Mam told me his name—I don’t know how to explain it! My heart skipped a beat, it was like my heart forgot how to beat for a second...… then remembered—and it started beating, racing like crazy—super duper fast the second—the very moment my eyes found him again!”
His first name means 'The Light of Happiness' (Indeed, he is!). His middle name is more like a family name...... yeah! (I'm not sharing that.)
And the name I first got to know—his last name, the one mam told me—means ‘The Beloved One’ or ‘Dear,’ and also...... ‘David!’
(I gave him the nickname ‘David’—because his beauty is just like the Greek statue, David...... No no, My Mr. Engineer is even more handsome and cuter than that! MASHALLAH!)
A little fact: ‘David’ is actually a synonym of his last name!
Well, I've given him a few nicknames—like ‘Mr. Engineer,’ 'T.S.,' and...... ‘Dear Light!’
(He only knows the first nickname so far. Hehe!)
"And......he likes it! He likes the 'Mr. Engineer' nickname, which is given by ME! Now he's officially my Mr. Engineer!" (BLUSHING)
His name is...... ‘David!’ Well, not exactly David...... It's more like a synonym of his name, but I don't want him to know that...... I know he isn't reading this, but...... What if......WHAT IF HE READS IT!!!!!! (Maybe “One-day!”) I don't want him to be sure about it...... I don't want to make it obvious! Aaaaaaahhhhhh! It's so embarrassing!
“I just don't want to ruin our sweet and cute friendship!”
“I'm scared...... because he is precious to me! Allah knows!......”
“May Allah protect this bond and write only goodness in it...... Ameen!”
