It was a fine summer evening and everyone was present in a family gathering at my grandparent's house. That was the house where all my summer vacations were spent. All the families used to gather in this house along with their children and there was a pleasent hustle bustle all around.
The elders sharing embarrassing stories of each other's childhood, remembering the dead ones, politics, dramas and latest fashion trends inside the hall. And kids......playing, gossiping and eating junk irrespective of the hot and boiling weather. Those were the days...!
I used to love that envirnment....happiness, giggles, smiling faces....everywhere.

I was adoring the scene when i got interepted by Inaya's voice on phone curiously asking me the same question for a hundred-th time now, "Okay naa Amal please tell me... Does he look more handsome than before?"
And i, shutting all the butterflies up in my tummy, replied, "Ofoo Inaya! Who told you he was handsome at the first place? He was ugly, he IS ugly and he will always stay ugly okay?"
Inaya smiled because she knew what exactly i meant by ugly plus she was completely aware of the blush i had on my face at that moment. How does she know me so well? It's just been 2 years since we met.

I remembered something all of a sudden, "Inaya?... What's the date tomorrow?" To which she replied after a pause "umm... It's 14th of July. Why are you asking?"
"Idiot! It's Daniyal's birthday tomorrow... Although i've already bought a gift but.... i'm planning something special for him this time"
Inaya acting all oblivious asked, "And that special thing is?"
"Hah!Like you don't know" And with a slight pause, i told her, "I'm going to tell him tonight"
"Tell him wha...... ohh!!! Really?!?" And she finally got my point.
I could sense her excitement but I was still confused so i stated honestly, "well, i'm still thinking about it. He is too idiotic to confess it"

She liked the idea.... so did I.... partially. But inside I was confused... and intimidated. What if he doesn't feel the same way? What if he already has a girlfriend? But he never mentioned any. And by the way he looks at me..... I can see something or maybe everything in his eyes and the way he treats me....
Inaya's voice echoed in my mind, "If someone loves you, you can see it by the way they treat you" she told me this quote a year ago.
He definitely likes me....alot.

It was night. After a whole debate, the kid gang agreed to play this game introduced by Daniyal.
It was a game in which all of us used to sit in a line; one behind another. The first person was given a word or statement which was supposed to travel throughout the people secretly in each other's ears really fast. The last person was asked to tell what he or she could get. It was fun.

We all started to settle down for that game and all of a sudden i felt a shiver down my spine as my hand was held politely by Daniyal. It felt like these butterflies will escape from my mouth anytime now and my blush could be seen from the sky. His touch had something i was craving for, i felt complete.
I wanted answers and i got them...yet again. I tried hard to hide my happy-go-lucky grin when, with a mischievous smile, he made me sit behind him and left my hand.

The game was started and Faaris, my brother, was given the first word. I was siting somewhere in between and whatever word or statement i used to get from Daniyal, i used to whisper to Samra, my cousin. The sitting position was been alternated every time.

It was the 7th time we were playing the same game and this time....i was the last person. It clearly meant that i was the person to tell everyone what i got at the end, no matter how hard, no matter how funny. But i was prepared for anything.

It was Samra's turn to choose a statement so she spoke the statement in Rafay's ear and the statement traveled throughout. The statement reached Daniyal and he said something in my ear.
"What?" I thought i heard it wrong. It can't be.
"You can't listen to him twice, just say what you got" Faaris told me.
I knew something was wrong but what could i do? I had to say what i got. So, with a confused look at Daniyal and then at everyone else, i finally said out loud what Daniyal whispered in my ear,
"I Love You" yup! That's what I heard.

And BAM!! everyone started making fun of me and told me that the real statement was something else while Daniyal came near me and whispered in my ear, "I love you too, Amal Daniyal"

My heartbeat accelerated with his words echoing in my mind. Ohh! so it was all pre-planned, i realised. The idea of playing this game, holding my hand, that smile, making me sit behind himself... It was all planned. I couldn't help but smile.
Amal Daniyal! My name never felt so absolute, so complete before. He loves me and this was the only thing i wanted to know, i wanted to hear... at that moment.

My eyes soon shifted to everyone else, smiling, giggling and my world seemed perfect. When suddenly my gaze met Laiba aapi's, my eldest cousin, looking at us with suspicions eyes and my feet got frozen at their place. I couldn't help but run back to my room.
