Destined

chapter 2

*Ruby*

After considering my mom's suggestion, I finally decided to have a word with Mudassar.

I didn't know, what to talk where to begin. Hell I didn't even know if he was aware of this predicament.

Honestly I was scared, of his response. What if he decides this isn't going to work!? What would I tell my parents!?? What if he stops talking to me!? What if he break our friendship!?

All this these what ifs were giving me a migraine, I mustered all the courage and decided to text him.

'Meet me near the lake at 5!!'

His response was immediate. As if he was expecting my text

'Sure.... Will c u soon :)'

He sent me a smiley, I was relieved. I guess, we can try to work this out....!!!!

I never payed attention for my looks before, especially not in front of Mudassar. He's the guy who has seen me naked till we were 8. He has seen me in my worst. Once when we were 15. He had spotted some blood stain on my dress and had freaked out.

He didn't know about mensuration. He was so scared he started crying, thinking I would die.

At that time I had to explain him about this. To say it was embarrassing and awkward is understatement. He didn't talk to me for a whole week after that incident.

Because according to him, he didn't know how to face me,.
But after that, when ever I had my periods he used to take special care of me. By bringing some coffee and chocolates.

So I didn't know, how to act in front of him now.. Will it be awkward!??

Anyhow I decided to make myself presentable at least.

I am not what you call pretty , beautiful or cute. I am not fair like other girls of my class. I am tanned, black hair , black eyes . 5.6' height and medium built.

Only think I like about myself is dimples, which I get on both the cheeks when I smile.

I was always insecure about my looks and weight. But I never felt insecure in front of Mudassar before. But today I was feeling all these insecurities.

I wanted to look beautiful for once in my life.

So I opted on a blue jeans and light yellow top with a light blue scarf to cover my hair.

I applied some make up, foundation, lipstick, eyeliner and mascara.
I don't usually use all these. But today I wanted to.

So after making myself presentable, I left home without informing my parents, for I know they will not be worried and might probably invite uncle too.

Lake was just 15min away from my house. I reached at sharp 5. He was already waiting for me, near the tree where we spent our whole lives playing and dreaming.

His back was towards me, but I knew he sensed my presence. I saw him straightening his back and plucking some grass from the ground.

Thank god, I am not the only one to be scared,

I placed my self next to him, resting against the tree trunk.

'Hi........'
It was Mudassar who initiated thee conversation first.

I just gave a small nod, and started fidgeting with my fingers, which I always did when ever I was anxious or nervous.

He smiled at that. His cute smile.

That made me relax immediately, and I smiled back a little.

He sighed at that and said,
" so, I guess you too had The talk with your parents!?? "

I just nodded too embarrassed even to speak.

" it might come as a surprise to you , but I had know it for a while"

That too me off guard, what the heck!!??
What is he talking about!??
Did he knew about our engagement!??
Why hide it from me!??

I didn't know what to think of it!!??
I was angry at him for not telling me before, mad at my parents for hiding this from me, upset for I didn't know what to do.

All the today's events caught up with me, I was so emotionally drained I did what any sane person would do I cried.........
