"Hey what a wonderful kind of day..."Arthur sings from the television screen.

"Uh!Dude can you like change the channel? I mean these songs are good for nothing;Magic isn't even real,"I roll my eyes, shifting them to my phone. Why is the world so boring?

"And what exactly do you wanna see?"my sister makes the ugliest expression in the world, staring at me like a Tiger does to a rabbit that it's about to eat.

She starts flipping the channel, "Nope, nope, ewwww, that's inappropriate, not Superman again, nah, bruh, woahhh....wait. WAITTTT!!!!!"I yell as I drop my phone. Am I drooling? OMG and I think I have goosebumps....Is this what being in love feels like?

"Who is that? Oh lord take me away. For I cannot look at such a handsome man," I overreact.

"Ok then I will just change the channel..,"Rabiya starts.

"No Rabiya!!!Don't you even," I rush to her and snatch the remote out of her hand. "It's mine now!"I yell. She throws her hands in the air, expressing her hate, but that's what being a sister is all about.

I stare at the screen as his hair and dance moves drag me in closer. What's happening to me? Am I gonna get transported to Bollywood? Ok-Ok! Calm down Tahniat. Take a deep breath; he's just an actor.

"TAHNIAT'S IN LOVEEEEEE..With...uh....umm what's his name?"Rabiya smirks and I give her  a sign to shut up. In my house, I'm boss because I'm the oldest sibling.

"He's so hot," I try fainting but this isn't the film industry it's a place called real life and it's the least expected place where that'll happen.

"And you told me that magic wasn't real...You seem in love with someone who isn't even real," she laughs at herself. It's like those people who look in the mirror and compliment themselves. Uhhh!Don't you hate it?

I run across to the opposite couch. "Hamiya, I'm having a panic attack!!!Tell me who that guy is," I lean in close to her and wrap my arms around my legs, rocking slowly.

"He's sooooo gay. Do you see those lips? Are those Kylie Jenner's?"she rolls her eyes and starts chewing her nails. I smack her fingertips out of her mouth,"Excuse me...That's my husband you're talking about," I whisper.
I don't want my mother or her mother to hear because I know how they are and they'd probably give me a whole speech about how we're Muslim and we can't marry a Hindu-blah blah blah!

I quickly press the Guide button on the remote. "Heropanti. That's the name of the movie." So now I will just do my about-to-be fave hobby-stalk someone who I am in love with. I skip to the computer desk and move the keyboard towards my hand. "Heropanti 2014." I click the search button. The first thing that pops up is a description: "Two young people (Tiger Shroff, Kriti Sanon) find love despite the violent landscape in which they live." OML so romantic and so filmy. I'm literally dying right now. So that's the name of the guy-Tiger Shroff.
