"Bilaaaaall!!" shouted his mother. "Get up, don't you have to go for your driving classes?"

"Yes mom, 2 more minutes please." He replied and dozed off again. After about 15 minutes she sent Noorin, Bilal's sister, to wake her up.

"Noorin, stop irritating me please. Let me sleep for some more time." Bilal pleaded her. She used to irritate him whenever he refused to get up. She kept irritating him for 5 minutes and he finally woke up.

"Alas, I win!" Noorin said in a funny way.

"Ya ya, now go please!" Bilal said teasing her

He then got freshed and went to have his breakfast. "Moomm!!" he shouted, "Breakfast please."

"Two minutes" she replied. After having breakfast he left for his driving classes. The classes were almost over, only a week's classes were left. He loved practical classes compared to theory. Although he knew to drive but his father recommended him to attend one month classes as that would give him more practice, experience and information. His father would give him his car to drive sometimes. So like that he slowly and slowly learned to drive. Most of his friends had driving license.

After attending the classes, just when he was about to grab a taxi he met one of his friend Saad.

"Salaam bro! Going home?" Saad asked.

"Wa laikumusalaam. Yup." Bilal replied.

"Shall I drop you?" Saad asked.

"Sure, if you don't have any issues!" Bilal replled.

"No issues, come sit" Saad offered him a seat! They both spoke till they reached Bilal's house.

"Thank you Saad for dropping me!" Bilal thanked him.

"No need of thanks dude" Saad replied.

"Good bye. Have a good day!" Bilal said.

"You too!" Saad replied.

"Salaam everybody!" he said as he was entering his home.

"Wa laikumusalaam." Replied his mom. He went to his room. He then layed on his bed and took his phone. He started checking his messages. He then messaged Sarah,

"Hey Saru! How are you?" But she wasn't online. He then started to see his feed. After like about half an hour he got bored and then kept his phone. He started thinking about Sarah, how unexpectedly he met her. How he was nervous to message. And then how she became an important part of him. He wished that she could also love him. But then he had some faith in his love, "Maybe someday she will love me as much as I do!"

Suddenly he received a notification from Sarah,

"Hey Bilal! I am fine. How about you?"

"I am good. I was thinking about you only!" Bilal replied.

"AWW! How sweet! What were you thinking?" Sarah questioned.

"Haha, let it be!" Bilal replied. He was a bit shy now.

"Tell please!" Sarah requested him.

"Umm, I was thinking how we met! How I was nervous to message you in the beginning. I thought you would block me, but thank god you didn't!" Bilal replied.

"Haha, why would I! By the way Bilal can I ask you a question?" Sarah asked politely.

"Yeah sure, why not!" Bilal replied.

"What do you think about me? I mean like I've hurt you twice, you should hate me by now!" Sarah kept her question.

"Haha, what I think about you? I think so much about you, Saru, so much that you can't even imagine. You are like so sweet, as sweet as sugar. You are so beautiful, gorgeous and what not. The best thing about you is your smile, it's really the best smile. Whenever I am sad or upset, I just see your picture and believe me I smile. Your smile is literally a mood changer. Honestly speaking, if I don't speak with you even a single day, I feel incomplete or uncomfortable. It's like I am addicted to you. You are like my light in the darkness. And you say about hurting me, that's really ok. It happens in any relationship. Hurting, depression, sorry and all it's all part of a relationship. Trust me, that day when you hurt me I felt a little bit bad but I forgot about it in a while and that didn't affect much in our bonding. That didn't decrease your respect or my love for you. Whenever I open my chat, you are my first priority, not only in messaging but anything else. I always want to be with you, in your good as well as bad times. I will always support you even if the whole world is against you, I would never leave you. This might sound dramatic but yes, this is what I think. I still love you Sarah." Bilal replied.

He still loved her. He never wanted to lose her, he didn't enjoy hurting her or making her sad. He liked seeing her smile.

After reading this Sarah was speechless.

"Bilal I am literally SPEECHLESS. I have no words to say. This message gave me immense happiness." Sarah replied with an happy face and a heart emoji.

"Saru, now you tell me what do you think about me?" Bilal asked curiously.

"Umm, you are really the sweetest person I've come across. Really it feels good to have you. I know that you won't betray me or hurt me and that's why I trust you. You are that kind of person whom I can ask help at anytime and no matter what, I know that you will help. You are that kind of person whom I can share my feelings. You are so good at expressing what's within you, but I ain't that good. Therefore I am unable to say how good you are. Just remember that you are an irreplaceable person, and no one can take your place." Sarah replied trying her best to express how special he was. She also never wanted to leave Bilal, but she feared! She feared that circumstances won't let them be together. Bilal really felt good after reading this.

"Saarruu, that's so good. And who told you aren't good at expressing, this was so perfect." Bilal replied after reading the text.

"Is it?" Sarah asked.

"Yaa, it's really good!" Bilal replied.

"Thank you then!" Sarah thanked him.

"Your welcome." Bilal replied.

"Bilal I have to go now. I am going out with my family for dinner! Will speak with you after I come." Sarah said.

"Ya sure. Enjoy. Good bye!" Bilal replied.

After saying Good bye to Bilal, she quickly got ready and left with her family. They then went to a good hotel. They ordered Boneless chicken, Chicken 65, gravy, Naan and Biryani which is mandatory. After having dinner they went to meet some of their relatives. Their Sarah was extremely bored. She wanted to speak with Bilal but she didn't have Internet and she was quite shy to ask her relatives their WiFi password. After around one hour or so they went back to their house. She then checked whether Bilal is online or not and he wasn't online. Obviously he won't be online, it was 2AM.

"Good Night Bilal!" she murmered to herself smiling.
