It was 3 in the night , I was weeping all alone feeling broken. "It's not working out Tuba , lets end it up" were his last words to me . Weeping out my mascara , my undone hair falling on my face and tissues all over the room , I was all alone gathering my emotions . I was in the most crucial years of my life . I cursed myself for not listening to Esha and Amina . I wanted to cry my heart out to someone but was helpless . I was drained of crying . I didn't know how to react because we had been dating for more than an year . I started retrospecting the moments spent together . The promises he had made . Still blubbering , I recalled the day it all started -

FLASHBACK:

24th April 2016 , the day for which everyone were waiting ardently , El-Clasico(football match between Real Madrid and Barcelona) . I was sitting in the school auditorium with fingers crossed, making a dua for the victory of Real Madrid . Raba and Ahmedi who were the actual adherents of Real Madrid were supporting Barca just for the sake of Mustafa - the head boy of our school . He was a towering and lanky guy who was born with hotness as his custody . He had slight beard on his butt chin and wore cool nerd glasses . He was a serene person . He was the kind of guy who couldn't be judged by his emergence , he was just the antagonistic of what he showed of himself.

He pretends to be the person who is born just for studying and who has been given the sack of decency from all over the world . But the actuality is that , the so called decent-looking-guy was muddled into all sort of stuffs starting from smoking , clubbing , ragging , hookah to switching girls once in two months.

Eventually it had been 6 months since these switching of girls had stopped because his life had been gloomy due to the bad duas of all his ex--girlfriends . 

From the past two months i had been hearing a lot through my friends about he having a crush on me all of that . Though i didn't consider it to be true , but from the past two weeks i have caught him stealing glances of me at the canteen , assembly and at the play ground . He did behave in a weird manner whenever he was around me . 

My thoughts were disrupted by the boisterous cheering and as I turned my head towards the voices i slowly realized that Barca had won . "Oh fuck! " their victory led me to 2 things - 1.My team had lost  2.The probability of Mustafa proposing me had increased because he was the kind of guy who gets his guts whenever he is too happy and now he was happy as his team had won. He was on top of the clouds , screaming with joy just like a child who gets his daily treats . I stood in the middle of the swarming croud , staring at him. I looked at his eyes , they showed a hint of innocence . There was something special in them , something which didn't let me look away.

All of a sudden i felt a few drops of sweat passing down my spine as i find the same eyes staring back at me . I immediately turned my gaze down just to hear my name being called "Tuba , Tuba  yo come here , why you standing all alone? " , I turned around to find my 2 best friends - Esha and Amina , screaming at the top of their lungs to make themselves audible in the raucous voices of all the students . I walked forward and said them about the eye-contacting thingie .

(I am that kind of person who never hides a single thing from my best friends even if it involves my insults) . After they heard me they started hooting like a Baka Pygmies and said "whoooooo! he likes you" and all of that sort . For the 1st time I had experienced two things -1. I was blushing as the heat of my body rised up to my cheeks   2.I wanted to be his girl .

Esha noticed my pink flushed cheeks and started pulling my leg even more . We all felt mice running in our stomachs so we paced off to the canteen to give the mice some peace . We ordered 3 zingers and 3 bottles of  cade to cool down our brains which had been burnt by the sweltering heat of Riyadh(Saudi Arabia) . Feeling full we started roaming around the lobbies , when a girl of age around 12 came up to me and said "Mustafa is waiting for you in the auditorium" and ran away before we could question her . 

Hearing this , I felt like throwing up all of that i had eaten . I had become nervous and had started sweating . My inner soul  said not to go but my feet were already heading towards the auditorium . My heart was racing at the rate of 105 beat/sec . I went and stood 7 feet away from him just to signal that I was there . He was pacing up and down the aisle , murmuring something. 

As soon as he saw me he moved towards me with a smile on his face and started the normal conversation of "Hi , how are you? Howz life? Wassup" and all of that . Esha interrupted and said "Well we heard you asking for Tuba so we came , we are getting late for our session , if it's not important then we can catch up later " "Sorry for wasting your precious time young ladies but yes it is really important . Well Tuba..." he said and turned towards me , looking straight into my eyes . I wanted to hear what his eyes were telling me . The feeling , the truth of the moment , the..the..I don't know what it was . 

His voice interrupted my thoughts as he said "I just don't know how to start and I know it is weird cause it is not the 1st time I have fallen for someone but this time it's different . I don't know when did this happen or how did this happen , I just love you Tuba , I love you so much , I love you for everything you are . I always felt that something is missing in my life but after I fell for you i realized that you are that piece which would complete my life . I really love you Tuba ." After i heard this I was spellbound , I couldn't move and didn't know what to do . I moved towards him and cupped his face in my hands and placed my lips on his . I kissed for 5 seconds and he kissed me back and then we both kissed for 3 minutes . 

We were disturbed by the bell for our chemistry class and we were getting late . So we parted , gave a coy smile to each other and traipsed towards our lobbies . Esha and Amina were so aghasted by my act that they didn't utter a single word during the 2 hour session of the boring lecture . The sensation of his lips stayed with me for an hour and the next hour was spent in realizing that I had kissed the hottest guy in the campus and he had kissed me back . I didn't know what I'd done was right but I didn't care . Maybe even I had wanted this to happen or maybe I was just fantasizing and this hadn't really happened or maybe i should stop thinking like an asshole and focus on the lecture . Maybe I should let a day pass and talk to him the next day .
