Chapter Seventeen: I guess, I kind of like him.

"Okay bhabhi. Leave the door open. I'm coming. I'm in my pajamas, hopefully no one drives by." I spoke into the phone.

"Oh my god! You silly goose! I asked you to come over and change into you pajamas!" Bhabhi replied.

"No, I'm too lazy to come over and have a wash then change. I've already done it all, now open the door." I said opening the entrance door to our house.

"Okay, its open. Come!" She replied.

I soon ran over to her place praying no one sees me, a girl, wearing panda pajamas, running over to the neighbors. it would be a hilarious sight.

I rushed into the house shutting the door behind me and I leaned against it trying to catch my breath.

"Phew. I felt like I was on some mission." I said laughing.

"You're the most silly girl I've ever met Arza! I swear!" She replied laughing.

"Hmm.. You can call me silly, but only as long as its a compliment." I replied.

"Its a compliment alright. okay, go to the T.V room I'll bring all the junk food and right be with you. The girls are here between." Bhabhi said walking into the kitchen.

Its been 2 days since bhabhi came back, and Zahra aapi saying about Arhaan. She hadn't sent the proposal yet. I have no idea why. I was not in a hurry.. Okay maybe I was! I was scared that mama might agree on another proposal by the time Zahra aapi makes a move. I of course would not go to mama and say about Arhaan, I wasn't so brave!

"Hi!" I yelled walking into the room.

Aneesha, Ursa and Shehnaz were seated on the floor chatting.

"Why are you late woman?! You're supposed to be here early! You live right next door!" Ursa spoke.

"I've already had a nice wash and slipped into my pajamas. See" I said doing a twirl for them. "So I got late."

"Back!" Bhabhi said dropping bags of Doritos, Cheetos, sour strips and what not!

"Ooh I'm so ready for this!" I said doing my happy dance. "Where's Faiz?"

She gave me a sneaky smile "I sent him to bed!" She said faking an evil laugh.

All the girls burst out laughing.

Let the gossip sessions begin.

~~~~~~~~

"So.. Basically that's it." I said ending with all the unnecessary stories that happened over the months. I hadn't said about Arhaan yet. I was scared.

"I know you have more to say, and I have a feeling its the most important thing so... Are you going to say it or not?" bhabhi asked raising her eyebrows

"Nope. There's more" Aneesha said.

The two said it at the same time, and it freaked me out.

Ursa and Shehnaz agreed with them. Damn it! Are they spying on me or something.

"You guys!! Not fair! How do you'll know me so well!" I said whining and covering my face with hand.

God, I sound like those whiny spoilt girls.

"I'm your bhabhi for a reason, and they are your cousins for a reason now spill" she replied.

"Um.. Okay. So.." I started and stopped. I didn't know how to say it.

"Bhabhi! I can't!" I said whining again.

"Can you stop whining? Or You're going to end up getting beaten from us" Shehnaz said.

"Rude!" I yelled.

Can I stop acting like a love struck puppy when I'm not!

"Oh my god! Its a guy! Isn't it!?" bhabhi said.

she was previously seated facing the television, but now, she was facing me wide eyed. "spill! now!" She yelled like the animal she is.

"okaysotheresaguyandhewantstomarryme" I said rushing it all out at once.

"What?!" All of them yelled, except bhabhi.

"We didn't get you. Come again." Aneesha said.

"No no. Wait. I got it. Let me comprehend it. So, there's a guy and he wants to marry you?" She asked slightly lost.

"Yes! Yes!" I said gladly. She got it and I didn't have to repeat.

All of them sighed in annoyance.

"But Arza, you don't have 'A' guy who wants to marry you. You have plenty of proposals, and you do know that right? So what's exciting exactly." Ursa asked.

"Oh my Allah! No Ursa! There's this one guy. Who likes me, and wants to marry me"

"So do all the other guys." Bhabhi said lightly.

Can I slap bhabhi please.

Not literally of course! I would never slap her.

"No but this is different." I said gently. I was trying to keep my calm.

"Really? How so?" she asked.

"You don't get it bhabhi! He likes me!" I said annoyed.

"Like I said before, he's no different from the res-"

"Its different because I kind of like him too!" I yelled cutting bhabhi off.

I heard all of the girls gasp, except for bhabhi.

I slapped my hand across my mouth. What did I just say! I do not like him! I don't even know him!

Bhabhi looked at me and smirked.

"Now, that's exactly what I was looking for." Bhabhi said smiling knowingly.

Wait what! she did it on purpose?

"You pushed me to the edge so you could make me confess!? How do you even know if I like him or not?" I asked.

"You wouldn't have told us about it if it was normal. It was different" "It was special, and that's why you told us." She said winking.

I looked down blushing. Ugh!!

"Oh my god! Arza finally! I've been dying for your wedding." Shehnaz said

"Very funny Shey. They haven't even sent the proposal yet." I said replying to Shehnaz.

"What's the problem? He isn't manly enough to come ask for you? Want me to talk to Faiz about it?" Bhabhi asked coolly.

"No! Don't! Leave it. They said they'll handle it." I said.

"Ugh. I'm impatient now. Can they send a proposal already!" Bhabhi said.

"calm down bhabhi. it'll happen when its meant to" I said.

I had totally forgotten to say that arhaan went to the same school as us, and he was in the same grade as bhabhi too.

What I, and bhabhi didn't know was, bhabhi already knows him.
