Allah now i remember last night when they finished my henna i came back in my room but i couldn't sleep so i took my phone in my hands and started to check my insta, kik, twitter and WhatsApp.

I open WhatsApp and i saw messages from my some cousins they congrats me for the engagement blah blah, message from some Internet friends, 21 messages from Sarmad.

I remember on eid's day he message me that he wants to tell me something but since then i haven't check my phone. I open Sarmad's message..

"I know we are friends and  you'll find it weird but i want to tell you i really like you a lot!! I saw your pic in Saima's phone and i really felt something so i decided to make a connection with you and i followed you on twitter and i started to talking to you we became friends then best friends and i found that you are the most coolest sweetest person and i can tell you everything. I found myself falling for you and i love everything about"

No no no sarmad please don't. Oh my god what the hell is happening in my freaking life??

I can't believe this first engagement  announcement out of nowhere and now this. i feel like my life is a movie or some kind of joke.

Then i read all the messages from sarmad one by one. I felt he genuinely have feelings for me he is a great guy everything is so nice but timing is definitely not perfect but he told me about his feelings before the announcement but i didn't read his messages stupid me.

If I've seen his messages before what i would say to him?
My thoughts were fighting in my mind i don't know what to say and what I'm going to reply???

"Sarmad look i really appreciate your feelings and kind words but we lives in two different countries and i never thought about it" -Me

Allah what a dumb and stupid my excuse is he knows im not one of those people who care about distance.

After few minutes he replied-  
"thank god you replied i thought you are mad at me and cmon distance doesn't matter. You are really very special to me and give a chance to show you"

OMGGG NOW WHAT TO SAY??

"We are friends and our friendship is really important to me and I love our friendship very much"  I replied ughhhh

"Yeah its very important to me too but i want us to be more than friends you know what i mean? I love everything about you your craziness, when you try to be mad but fail to do it, when you talk about how hot justin and 1D boys are(i feel jealous but you're cute when you do that), you cry when india loss a match, When you type a wrong word but say its autocorrect. Sahiba you are very special" -Sarmad

AWWW HE IS SO SWEET I CAN'T BELIEVE HE NOTICED EVERYTHING ABOUT ME EVEN THE AUTOCORRECT THING.
MY SMILE GOT BIGGER WITH EVERY WORD I READ THAT SARMAD WROTE.

Its been ten minutes im trying to reply him but can't find the exact words to write.

"Look i understand you can take your time now go to sleep we'll talk tomorrow good night :)" -Sarmad

Why he is so sweet? I replied him back.
