DESTINY

Date with Augustin

"The language of friendship is not words but meanings"

~Henry David Thoreau 

Good morning. I am still in bed wrapped up in my blanket. Today's a Wednesday, so, I don't have library shifts today. It's a good thing since, I am tired after yesterday's journey. I thought about the buttercups that Kookie weaved in my hair, there's no way I want to take them off... the tenderness of his hands is something I can't forget ever... oh, I know what to do with the flowers... got an idea! My next concern was about what to make in breakfast. I think taco will be fine. I have some chicken in the refrigerator. I got up after deciding the breakfast and got fresh, showering and changing into fresh clothes. I started preparing for breakfast plugging in my earphones and playing a soft-melodic song. I was humming the song. It's a beautiful morning today, but cold as usual. I was soon done with breakfast and went in to wake my friends up.

"Simmi, Nishi... come on. Wake up"

"5 more minutes Noor" Nishi said raising her hand showing 5 fingers at me. I took her hand and pulled her up.

"Ah~ let me sleep" Nishi yelled at me.

Eventually they woke up and got fresh. I plated the breakfast on the center table. We sat on the couch and switched the TV on.

"Hmm.... it smells delicious... what's in breakfast today?" Simmi smelled the air and asked me.

"Tacos" their grins became wider. They loved tacos and it's been a while I had made tacos for them.

"Jinjja? Ah~ thank you Cherry. You are the best" Nishi said jumping at me to give me a hug.

"You don't have to thank me" 

We enjoyed our breakfast together of course with our usual bickering. Simmi was the center of bickering this time. We were teasing her about Augustin. In the whole while that we spent there, both of these were always together. I knew my plan's working. 

"Simmi, how was it skiing with Augustin?" I was the first one to start the conversation.

"Uh.... it was good" 

"Not that much, tell us everything" Nishi said.

"There's nothing much to say" Simmi hesitated for a while.

Simmi's phone was ringing, she has got a call. After seeing the name on the screen her face lit up. I am sure it's Augustin. She picked up the call and spoke in low tone. Me and Nishi listened to her attentively and also tried hearing what is he saying on the other line, but in vain. After a while she ended the call.

"What did he say?" We smiled at her devilishly.

"Umm... I think we are going to meet in a coffee shop" 

"What?" me and Nishi shouted in unison.

"Really? You are going on a date?" Nishi asked.

"I said we are just going to meet, not a date..." Simmi just started explaining that Nishi cut her.

"Stop it. You can't hide it from us. You have to look good for the date. Let's get you ready" Nishi said excitedly.
