Let Me Love You - A Zayn Malik Fanfic

Chapter 7: Why is Varun acting like Liam ?

Here's Chapter 7, Thnx to everyone who has voted for me, I hope you keep doing so, hope you like the chapter...  

Would you mind taking a photo of mine with…, when suddenly a voice begun- can I?

Yeah sure the girl replied. Not turning back, I moved ahead without seeing whom the crowd was for.

I stepped out of the train and saw Varun and Trisha waiting there for me. I was amazed for I hadn’t told them the time I was going to arrive.

‘How did you guys get to know that I was arriving at 4pm?’

‘Magic they replied.’ ‘Oh c’mon that’s not possible please tell me how did you get to know I was going to reach at 4 I asked’. ‘well that’s a bit of a long story, we’ll tell you some other day. By the way stop wasting time in that and tell me how do I look today ? don’t you think I look amazing’ he asked. For a moment the day when Limo asked me the same question flashed in front of me. He used to say the exact same lines. I dint reply to his question and went ahead in silence. It was like everything around me made me think about him. I could hear Trisha and Varun whispering – what happened to her?, I just asked that how do I look ?, did I say something wrong?, is she fine?

I dint want to talk about it anymore. They asked me a few times but I dint answer.

After this we went to a nearby restaurant.

I ordered Italian, Trisha ordered Indian while Varun ordered Chinese.

For a minute I once again went into flashback, for Limo had loved Chinese food. I couldn’t stand it and out of no where I just stood up and shouted at Varun – ‘why are you doing this to me? I know you are doing this purposely, do you really have to do that, it hurts me when I think about him, just please stop it. I can’t bear it anymore, Why are you acting like Limo, Varun??’ and I went away without uttering another word. I could see them being shocked at such a behaviour of mine but I couldn’t understand it myself why I was doing it. Not knowing where I was going I just headed somewhere, It was as if I was sleep walking, all the memories of I and Limo being together flashed in front of me, I dint know what was happening around me. It was only when suddenly Varun pulled me towards himself and I fell down on him.

Oucchh !! ‘what the hell are you doing Varun?’

‘What the hell am I doing, are you out of your mind, you were the one walking blindly on the road when the signal’s red, you could have got crushed down by the truck. What is up with you Alia?’ He asked worriedly.

‘Umm I- I don’t know.’ I replied, ‘I just wanna go home. Please can we just walk back home, please.’ I requested.

‘okay but are you sure you are fine ?’ Trisha asked. ‘Yeah, just please let’s go home’ I replied.

The night went out normally.

The next day I woke up and went to Trisha’s house for breakfast. I ringed the bell, entered inside and saw Varun already sitting there.

‘Ah, sorry for yesterday Varun, I dint mean to shout at you. I am really really sorry.’ ‘Hey, sorry for what Alia, it happens, don’t worry, we are friends you don’t need to say sorry, you might be sad over something and I understand, it happens with everyone and you are totally free to share it with us’ he replied.

‘I am so lucky to have you as my friends’ I said and sat on the breakfast table with them.

‘So, excited for tomorrow?’ I asked them. ‘Why what’s tomorrow?’ asked Varun.

What do you mean what’s tomorrow, it’s your first day at the university. Oh, yeah but no big deal, I am not so excited for it but I know you are, it reflects on your face. Of course I am excited for my first day at the university aren’t you Trisha?

Cleaning up the dishes in the dishwasher she replied, yeah of course, it’s a big day tomorrow.

We all sat on the sofa and switched on the TV. Like everyday we fought for the remote, and like always Varun won and we had to suffer by watching his stupid action films. He was watching his action film while Trisha and I were talking.

Heard any One direction songs? She asked. I got shocked, for a minute I thought she got know everything about me, questions started popping in my mind like- did she read my personal diary, did my mom tell her about this?

Then suddenly she started speaking again, Alia were you day dreaming? Don’t tell me that you haven’t heard about One direction.

No I have heard about them and Yeah I have heard one or two songs of their but I haven’t seen the videos. I replied. Why not she shouted as if I had done a crime. You din’t watch the videos, you must be kidding me, those guys are so cute.

Well, actually I know one guy. I replied

And who is that she asked. umm don’t remember his name, I lied.

You are so not modern Alia, you haven’t heard One direction songs. I told you that I have. Yeah, one or two, big deal she said sarcastically. Don’t know about you but I love those boys. Well I can see that I replied and went away.

Dinner was at my house that day. I was going to cook Italian after a long long time.

I wasn’t sure, if it would taste good or not but I was sure of one thing I would make them taste it first and then eat. I never took risks of eating anything first especially when it came to my own cooked food.

I was a bit worried but everything went great, I made a delicious dinner for my friends and I was happy that they liked it.

I was really excited for my first day. I was acting as if it was my first day at school.

I had many expectations for the first day. One month ago I was so excited for this day and now that day was tomorrow…..
