She's The One

Chapter 34

p/s i never expect i would do such research on first love just because to write this chap....

Aisha P.O.V

I walked in the house tiredly, trying to shove away the unspoken thoughts in my head. I sighed heavily, popped myself onto the couch before I tied off the niqab and closed my weary eyes. Khala appeared from the thin air, making herself sitting onto the sofa opposite to me.

"Tired?" She asked motherly, glancing over me and I nodded quietly. "Bad day." I mumbled, not sure whether she could understand me. "Where did you go just now?" She asked again, and I heaved a heavy sigh before opened my eyes and strengthen my body, turning to face her. "What do you think of first love?" The words spit out from my mouth and the next minute, I felt so regret over the question.

She laughed and pressed her lips as her eyebrows arched, looking at me. "First love?" I nodded slowly. "Oh, how come Aisha, you never told me about your first love!" Khala then laughed breathlessly and I pouted my lips, thinking of a comeback. "Nah.. I don't like him," I told her after a while. She made a look and asked me, "Are you sure you're not lying to me?"

I avoided from her eye contact and looked down instead. "It's been 3 years.. and now he comes back." I muttered under my breath but it was clear enough for Khala to understand. "I understand, Aisha. He was you first love who left you before and now comes haunting you..?" Khala guessed, making me giggled. She furrowed her brows and I shook my head, "He is my first love and never was.. He comes back after 3 years and he doesn't haunt me but instead, he hunts my heart." I confessed to her truthfully and looked away, flushing at my words.

"I know how first love is." Khala then spoke after a moment of silence. I felt my eyes widened and glanced at her, who was now staring me with a smile worn on her face.

"First love is your first. It's your first time completely trusting the love, it's your first time crying over someone who you truly care. It's the first time you feel totally in love and being loved unconditionally. First love is nothing compared to crush, and once you realise it, you've had your first love. First love hurts, Aisha. Because it only happens once. You can't fight the feeling because it's your first time experiencing this. First love contains your first 'I love you' and first heartbreak. First love is ineffable.. because it's your first." Khala smiled sweetly and I was speechless that my jaw fell opened.

"I wonder who's that lucky guy.." She whispered to me and I blushed, looking away. "You know him." I said quietly as I turned to look at her in the eyes. She looked surprise and I chuckled slightly. "It's someone who appears on TV," I bit my lower lip and Khala tapped her chin with her fingers, guessing.

"Let me guess..." She hummed. "Robert Pattinson? Taylor Lautner?"

I burst out laughing, "Why Twilight casts?" I was still laughing and she grinned, showing off her white teeth.

"Just tell me!" She giggled loudly and I got up from my couch, winking at her. "You might see him tonight on TV." I then immediately ran upstairs, completely ignoring Khala who was shouting my name.

Alhamdulillah.
