I was running. Running from him.

Tears was just flowing down the cheeks like its been flowing from years.

I ran faster and faster not even caring about my wound. And suddenly i was about to hit a car but the car stopped just a few inches away from my foots.

I frightened in fear as the old memories of accident came back.

I sighed when i realised nothing happened like before. But a fear crept in my chest and i stood their waiting car driver to yell at me for jumping infront of his car.

My breath hitched when i heard a click sound of the door open and a person stepped down.

"I know him" was the first words came out of my mouth when i saw him

Are you okay?? He asked concerned as he came closer.

Ye-yeah I muttered weakly as soon as i recognised him.

I am extremely sorry. He apologised softly

Amoor. I unknowingly whispered his name and his mouth hung open when he heard me.

Do you know me??? He asked widening his eyes.

I nodded in yes with teary eyes suppressing my cry. 

Eh- sorry i didn't know you. May i? He asked giving a small smile.

Sorry ki dukan. Its me Afsha. I said playfully hitting on his arm and his eyes widened in shocked even more.

Wait- what? Are you kidding? No. you cant be Afsha. He said arguing with his smooth laughter.

Kaminey. Its me. I yelled but unknowingly a cry left my mouth.

He pushed me for a friendly hug when he gave a assuring smile that he recognise too.

I cried vulnerable on his shoulder  feeling warmness of safety only a friend can give.

He cared my hairs calming me down.

He was my best friend in primary but we parted our ways when his family shifted in gulf.

I broke the hug giving him a broken smile.

You looked so different. He said face palming.

Like?? I asked wiping my tears.

Broken yet beautiful. He said with his shy smile.

I smiled painfully at his compliment.

If you don't mind. Can you drop me at home. I asked bit hesitant.

Come come get in. He said as he rushed to open a door for me.

We drove in silence but the silence wasn't for long time as he bombard questions on me.
