Umme and Kinza strolled through the hall, lost in conversation, when Sara approached them. Kinza's eyes narrowed, and she hastily excused herself, claiming she needed to grab a snack from her class. As Kinza left, Umme turned to Sara and asked,
"Hey, can I ask you something personal?"
Sara shrugged nonchalantly.
"Yeah, dude, go on."
Umme took a deep breath.
"Are you and Abubakar dating?"
The hallway seemed to freeze as Sara paused, her expression unreadable. Then, she burst into laughter.
"No, bro! He's just my friend. I have a boyfriend, his name is Aaman."
Umme's heart skipped a beat. Abubakar was single!
She rushed to find Kinza, who was munching on snacks with their friends. Umme dragged Kinza away, whispering urgently,
"You won't believe it, bhai! Abubakar isn't dating Sara!"
Kinza's eyes widened, and she exclaimed loudly,
"What?!"
before quickly covering her mouth, apologizing to the surrounding crowd.
Umme grinned mischievously.
"Sara has a boyfriend, Aaman. And guess what? You should totally send Abubakar a follow request!"
Kinza's face lit up.
"Should I?!"
Umme nodded.
"Bhai, life is all about taking chances! Go for it!"
Kinza's fingers flew across her phone screen, sending the request. But just as they were about to celebrate, they stumbled upon a shocking coincidence - Abubakar shared the same surname as Kinza!
Now, the question lingered would Abubakar accept Kinza's request, or would their connection remain a secret?
As the class finally came to an end, Umme and Kinza made their way to the nearby kabab pav stall. Kinza's stomach growled with hunger, and her eyes widened at the savory aroma wafting from the stall. But her excitement was short-lived, as her heart skipped a beat upon spotting Abubakar amidst the crowd.
"Kinza, what's wrong?" Umme asked, noticing her friend's sudden pause.
Kinza's eyes darted towards Abubakar, who was laughing with his friends and Sara.
"He's...he's here," Kinza stammered, her voice barely above a whisper.
Umme followed Kinza's gaze and smiled knowingly.
"Let's get our kabab pav and go," she suggested, trying to sound nonchalant.
As they waited in line, Kinza's eyes kept drifting towards Abubakar. Umme noticed her friend's fluttering heart and teased,
"Kinza, you're so obvious!"
Kinza playfully rolled her eyes.
"Shut up, Umme!"
Once they received their food, Sara approached Umme, leaving Abubakar and their friends behind.
"Hey, Umme! What's up?"
Umme shrugged, taking a bite of her kabab pav.
"Not much, Sara. Just enjoying the food."
Sara leaned in, her voice taking on a conspiratorial tone.
"You know, bro, I'm a little confused."
Umme raised an eyebrow.
"Why? What's going on?"
Sara hesitated before spilling the beans.
"My boyfriend, Aaman, has a problem with Abubakar. They're friends, but Aaman's jealous of Abubakar. He's telling me to choose between them, but I can't! Abubakar's my good friend, and I don't want to lose him."
Umme's eyes widened in surprise.
"That's quite a predicament!"
Just then, Kinza shouted from across the road,
"Umme, the bus is here!"
Umme apologized to Sara and rushed to catch up with Kinza, leaving Sara looking perplexed and Abubakar unaware of the drama unfolding around him.
As they boarded the bus, Kinza turned to Umme with a mischievous grin.
"You know, Umme, I think I'm going to make my move on Abubakar."
Umme raised an eyebrow, intrigued.
"Oh? And how do you plan on doing that?"
Kinza's eyes sparkled with determination.
"I'll find a way. After all, life is about taking chances, right?"
The bus ride home was filled with Kinza's excited chatter and Umme's knowing smiles. Little did they know, their lives were about to become even more entangled with Abubakar's...
