You Have Been Mine Since I Saw YOU (On Hold)

Chapter 14

Taniya's POV

Its been a week and today me and Aleema are going to Zameera's place. Tomorrow is haldi and mehndi night celebration.

I am packing my dress...
"Yaayyy.... Tanu, Am so excited to attend Akifa dheedhi's wedding. There will be different kind of foods and deserts." She squealed in delight.

"Uff.. this girl and her obsession for foods..."

Aleema came to my home an hour ago and now she is rampling about the wedding, celebrations etc.. She is a nonstop radio.

She is more excited than Zameera. Anyway, my packings are over. We are going in Aleema's car. Yes, she could drive.
We bid our byes to ummi and we both jumped into the car. Aleema started the engine and roared to Zami's house. It is 20 minute drive from here.

Mine and Aleema's house are in one side and Zami's in other side.
Soon we reached there. Zami came running and pulled us into a tight embrace.

"I am so happy, you both are here now. Yaayy!!!.. Comeon I will introduce you to everyone." With that she take us to inside.

The wedding preparations are going smoothly. It is decided to conduct as Indian style. Haldi and mehndi night will be at house and nikkah will be at auditorium and reception will be again at home. Tomorrow morning is haldi so all adults are busy in that work. And today evening groom's family will be coming. So all aunties are busy with that work.

Me, Lima, Zima and her cousins are sitting in the balcony. A teenager's time before the busy preparations of wedding.

"So, are you saying that you don't have any crush to anyone in these years?" One of Zami's cousin asked me. I smiled and shooked my head in No.

"So, what about you Aleema?" That same cousin, I think her name is Diya asked Aleema this time.

"Well... I can't say I have been in a relationship. But I had a crush on one guy when I was in 10th grade." Aleema said looking down.

'Aww... my girl.. Is she blushing?! Does she have that crush on him now also..'
I thought to myself.

"What is his name and how does he look?" Zami's cousin Afiya asked curiously.
LoL... curiosity is eating her😅

"His name is Zuhail and he is really handsome with brown eyes, Ma Sha Allah."

"Aww..... someone is blushing." We all cooed.

"Astagfirullah... that was long time ago. Wallahi, I don't know where he is now."

"Ohhoo... so that is your problem now. You don't know where he is now.?"

"Ohh.. comeon 3 years ago is not a long time chweety..."

We all teased her and now she is irritated because of our comments.
She huffed in responce and went inside.
We all burst into laughter seeing her retreating action.

Soon Zami's aunty called all of us saying that the groom's family is here. They all rushed to downstairs. I don't know what to do. So I stayed there.

"What are you doing?" Zami asked.

"Ummm... I don't know them.. so I thought I would stay here."

"Oh comeon Tanu.. I will be there and you don't worry." With that she dragged me downstairs.

When we reached, Aleema was also there. I joined her and stood beside her. All are present at the hall. Me and Lima stood at the back.

The groom's family came inside and we provided refreshments to them. I was staring at them. When suddenly my eyes stopped moving and stuck on a particular person which I least expected here. It is the same guy whom I had met at the park. The Wallet Guy!....
I was dumbfounded and was like why is he here?..

'Oh comeon Tanu.. why you are over reacting like this...' my inner thought interrupted me.
'Ya Allah... Why I am like this? Seriously something is wrong with me... I don't care about him , what he do and why he is here etc.. shut up' 😡
I scolded my inner thought.

Uff... seriously I am crazy... I even started to talk with my inner thought...

'Seriously Tanu...., you are screwed. That wallet guy had done something to you..' I talked to myself.

"Ohh.. Hello!! Earth to Tanu!!..
Where were you, in your dream land with your dream guy?!" Lima teased me.

"Shut up."
She laughed and we went to upstairs...

I hope he didn't notice me..

'Why will you have a problem if he notices you?'

Ughhh.. my inner thought again..
I shut her up I mean my inner thought and went to upstairs.

Me and Lima were in deep conversation. Suddenly Diya (Zami's cousin) came to us and asked us to join with 'them' for dinner. 'Them' means the groom's family will be present there that means that wallet guy also will be there.

I don't know why but I don't want to face him after that day. But my heart wants to see him, and talk to him. Atleast wants to know his name.
After a long battle between my brain and heart , my strong brain won and it didn't let me go to see him. That time only I realised Lima and Diya were waiting for my reply and here I am listening to the battle between my heart and brain.
After what seems to be a long time I politely rejected the idea by saying I am not hungry and want to sleep.
But Lima decided to join them because she was hungry like hell.

Lima gave me an asking look 'Are you sure? You are not joining us?'
I shooked my head as 'No'.
She then went with Diya.

I went to our room and sat on the bed. I took my laptop and on it. I then logged to facebook. I am just scrolling down the news feed. Nothing seems to be interesting.
After changing into my comfy pajamas. I lay down on the bed and I rewinded today's incidents. But sleep was far away from me. I tossed to other side and try to sleep. But that was also not helping me either. After a long time Lima came to the room. And when she saw me still awake she seems to be surprised.

" Didn't you say that you were sleepy?" She asked with narrowed eyes.

" I can't sleep. I was trying from past one hour and sleep is not ready to come to me." I smiled at her sheepishly.

She then told me that she had made friends with the groom's cousins. They were carefree and friendly towards her. We were talking when Zami came to the room. She is really tired. She went to the bathroom for freshening up and changed into her pajamas. When she hit the bed, she drifted to deep slumber.

"Ohh.. she really was tired." Commented Lima.

Then we also decided to call it a night. After much persuasion, I also enters into my Lala land.
