Those Silly Days

Chapter 10

'Omg... This is so amazing.' squealed Shreya. I know Shreya isn't a squealy kind of girl but seeing the present she couldn't help but do that. Well, we are here at Manav's place where all my gifts from yesterday's party are kept in a spare room. We have been opening them for quite a time.
'Beautiful gift by Tanisha.' I say as I pick up a beautiful charm bracelet. I love charms.
'It's cute. 'Shreya said. I nod before picking another gift.
"J... "I hear someone calling me. Turning around, I find Manav leaning against the doorframe his hands behind and a soft shy smile on his face.
" Hey.. "
" Um.. "
" What is it, dumbwit? "
I walk over to him. I raise an eyebrow as I stand in front of him.
" Well... Um.. "He shuffles on his feet.
" I got you a gift. "He goes on. As he brings his hand forward, I see a rolled paper with a red ribbon tied.
" What is it? "I ask curiously.
He hands me the scroll. Opening the ribbon, I open the paper and gasp. I always wanted this and he got it for me. Seriously, I couldn't help but be surprised, shocked and elated at the same time.
" OH MY GOD!! ". I throw my arms around is neck and shout happily.
" Thank you so so much. "I say as  he wraps his arms around me.
" Did you like it? "
" I loved it and you know that. "I whisper softly appraising the beautiful and almost unimaginable gift he gave me. I know, you all may find this kiddish but seriously it was a thoughtful gift and amazing too. It was an autograph wishing me happy birthday from my favorite singer who just recently left his band. The handwriting were neat and cursive. My name with happy b'day and smiley were at the right end of the paper. It was autographed by Zayn Malik, the singer who left the band one direction few days back. He is almost untraceable. One thing is known about him is that he's in LA.
"How did you get this? "I ask incredulous.
" Oh.. Well.. Just did it. "He answers with a shy smiles as he scratches the back of his neck.
" Thank you so so much. "I say as I wrap my arms around his neck.
" I have got you something else too. "
My mouth forms an O in admiration. Gosh, he has stop doing so many things for me. He brings his hand forward, handing me a video camera.
" This? " He nods. Opening the cam, I see a video that exists on this cam. Pressing the play button, I watch with my mouth wide agape and my eyes wide,a shock clearly written on my face with excitement. I look at him with disbelief dominating my eyes." Is this real? "I ask with my lips trembling. He chuckles at my expression but nods." Oh my... God.. How did you... "I trial off incompetent to form a sentence in surprise. When I look at him, he just shrugs with a soft smile dominating his face. Looking back, I replay the video. It's a fricking live video where Zayn Malik wishes me a b'day but not before singing my favorite song that being What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction.
"Gosh... This is awesome. " I murmur softly to myself. I look at his face before I throw my arms around him wrapping him in an hug. I whisper a 'thank you' in his ear but before unwrapping myself from him, I place a soft kiss on his cheek before thanking him again. Looking upon his face, I see surprise evident on his face. I laugh lightly when I hear a cough. Turning around, I find Shreya standing there with an raised brow. I see her smirk at me and I realize that all the while Shreya had been watching both of us and even watched me place that kiss. I flush slightly quickly averting my eyes.

                         ×××
"So that's it! "I finish narrating today's events to Myria. We both sit here in our room, cosy and cuddled up.
" So, you kissed him.?"
"Yea..on cheek. "I point out casually.
" I totally ship you guys. "Myria speaks excitedly. I roll my eyes at her statement.
" Hm... JiNav or MaIya? "Myria spoke pretending to think.
" Seriously, there is no us! "
" Tut tut, girl... I think JiNav is better. Though I'd you like other one, we could go for that, you know. "
" We are nothing but just friends. "I say defying her.
" Oh come on, we all just know it, gurl "She says picking a accent.
I roll my eyes ignoring her. Picking up my phone, I scroll through the chats aimlessly. That is until a new chat pings up,
Oye, happie b'day. Can't wish you earlier cuz was out of country. Came back an hour ago. Lemme know how to make it up to you. 😊. A huge smile covers my face as I see this message. I thought he forgot my b'day. I should have known him better.
"See, you're smiling. Must be Manav who just texted you. "I hear Myria say. I roll my eyes before replying," Nah uh, it's not him. He's out at a dinner party. "
" See, you even know where he's right now. So cute. "She coos.
I give Myria my best look that clearly says What the hell?.
She just laughs before replying," Young lady, that is seriously not going to work on me. "She puts an special emphasis on seriously and not.
" By the way, who's texting you right now? "
" Someone special. "I wink before indulging myself in the convo with this special friend.
