Broken Hearts Still Beat

---Aayushi's POV ---

I woke up to my phone going off.

I was half awake and didn't bother checking the number when I answered it.

"Hello," I said.

"Kya yaar tum kaha chal gi thi?" He asked.

"I'm sorry. Aap kohn?" I asked.

"Hussain yaar. Abh kya naam bi phul gi?" He asked.

"I don't know anyone by that name," I said.

"Ek second," he said.

"Oh teri! Sorry wrong number," he said.

"It's okay," I said.

His voice was so familiar.

"I just had your number saved. Last time you called the wrong number and today I did," he laughed while I quickly sat up in shock.

"You saved my number?" I asked.

"Yes. I don't know why but I do want to meet you," he said.

"I don't even know you," I said.

"But I wanna be your friend," he said.

"When?" I sighed.

"Aaj? How about at the park around 6pm?" He asked.

"Okay mister Hussain. I'll be there but how will I recognize you?" I asked.

"Easy. Just call me when you get there," he said.

"Okay," I said.

"Uuumm before you hang up, app kaha naam?" He asked.

"Aayushi," I said.

"Acha hai. See you at 6," he said.

"See you," I said and hung up.

I quickly texted Chandani and Sahanna and they sent me an essay on stranger danger.

Yeh koi school kha paper nahi hai jho essay likh diya.

I decided to just get up and get ready for the day.

Nerves building up in me already, let's just hope for the best.
