Melting Hearts

Part 10 - Sour Diesel

***Arush's P.O.V***

'She got it and she know she got it
I'm takin' off like a rocket
Spaceship, so high I can't stop it '

Oh yeah she's definitely got it...you checked her out yesterday, as usual - my subconscience nudged at me while a picture of Sahana flashed in my mind, making my lips automatically tug into a smile

"Oh yeah she's got it" Kabir said, making me frown. Why's he talking about Sahana?!

'Like sour diesel
I can't stop the feelin', yeah
Can't stop your feet, no
Feels like a dreamer
Didn't feel it seep in
She burn, she burn, she burn'

"Sour diesel?! What the heck is that?!" I wondered out loud, earning a chuckle from Kabir.

"Sour diesel....that's..cannabis....drugs ma boy...she's so like sour diesel!!! Oh fuck I feel like a different person when I'm around her, plus she makes me forget all my woes and I feel so....ecstatic! Of course she's my drug!" Kabir said, while Zayn Malik continued singing Sour Diesel in the background.

"Whom are you talking about?" I asked through gritted teeth - Kabir seriously can't be talking about Sahana!

"Riya man...who else?! She's the love of my life and she's the drug for this body" he said and winked, making me heave a sigh of relief.

"Last week I actually realized that it's high time we got together" Kabir said dreamily, making me frown.

"Get together?! Dude you guys are already dating duh!" I said, annoyed.

"Asshole! I meant that you know....it's time maybe I proposed her... I love her and no matter what I do want to spend my life with her! I've actually told at home that I'm dating and am serious about the girl...they've actually asked me to bring her home once, to meet her personally" Kabir said and I was surprised to hear his sad tone.

"That's a happy news isn't it?!" I asked.

"Yeah it is...but Riya...she's gonna freak out! Like from the past one month she's sounding really stressed 'n stuff! Maybe the new workplace is bad...she hasn't met me in a very long time now, and well....she doesn't even curse you man! Like ok before she used to be like Arush hogs our time and stuff, and now, she's like go hang-out with Arush, I'm busy to meet you!" Kabir said in a dejected tone.

"And I...I feat that...maybe...she's being pressurized by her family..to...meet someone" he added sadly.

"How can you be so sure?" I asked him curiously - he trusts her so much?!

"I trust her with my life and I know that she'll never lie to me....I know she's not fallen out-of-love with me....And she's not someone who'll cheat...she loves me to the moon and back man...and she does want to marry me, but it'll take a lot of work from my side to make her realize that she wants to marry me" Kabir said, sighing.

"So now what?!" I asked him, feeling sorry for my best friend - I don't know what love is, but I do know that my best mate is feeling dejected and that's not okay with me!

"I'm meeting her tomorrow evening. She's agreed to see me and we'll have a romantic weekend away" he said dreamily, making me chuckle.

"you know, only lucky bastards like me can understand the feeling of being in love....you asshole are a robot! You're like Sheldon Cooper, but with slight modifications...you understand and make sarcasm 'n stuff..... so yeah, you're Sheldon 2.0" Kabir said and grinned, making me show him the middle finger.

"Woah and you even know how to give the finger!! But well boyo, no use with just showing it...you need to know how to use it on the right person too" Kabir said and winked, making me frown.
