Doors to our dreams

Chapter-20. His one word....

Anaya's POV
We had a free hour. After continuous classes. I felt like heaven. We were chatting random things. When Filza asked "do u like Riyaz". I felt my heart stop. "#Rinaya is the best what are you asking she loves him more than everyone. Look she don't even know to blush. But she's controlling her feelings." Myrah teased. I felt my face heated up. "Plzz yaar" I put my head down. "Ok so u tell me do u love him or should I say like him" Filza again asked. "I don't know" I said slowly.

"Guys lets not make this hour boring come on let's play truth or dare" announced Michell
The whole class gathered together. We decided to play 21 truths and dares . Whoever the number 21 lands on they had to do the task given to them. Anyway I felt it was boring.. But the memories of the last time we played it made me go pink. I was reading a book lot of ppl were playing.
"Yeahhhhhh Riyaz" all cheered. It caught my attention. I closed my book and joined them.
"Truth or dare" Robin asked. "Truth" he replied. Everyone was discussing what to ask. They finally found a question for him. After listening to it I wished I never joined them. "So Riyaz this is a yes or no question." He nodded "do u like or love" Filza was squeezing my hand. I glared at her to stop.
"Who man" he asked casually. "Niya"...
"Aww now someone's heart is gonna break" someone commented. "never break a girls heart" Michelle advised.
"Quick dude" someone said. I was blank. It was like everything was in slow motion.
Myrah was consoling me. Patting me. "Could you please stop" I said her irritated. "Yes" I heard him say.
I looked down. I don't know why his one word is effecting me so much. "Excuse me" I said. I needed to spent some time alone. I went out of the class. I couldn't breathe. I felt so stifled. I went back to the class. I didn't look at him at all.
"Anaya are u k" Myrah asked. I nodded faking a smile. A weak one though... "Dude are you crying." Filza asked worried. I didn't realize that my eyes was already filled. I don't know for what reason. Y is it making a great difference to me.
"Y should I cry for such fools" I said trying to act normal and Arrogant. Even though I was breaking inside,
"Anaya what are you saying." Myrah said.
We were at the corridor. I smiled at them and left.

After going home I had a long shower. My sister said that mom called me down. "What ma?" I asked. "Come have something" she Said. She was preparing tea. "How was your day" she asked . "Good" I replied. "Can u please prepare the tea and get." She asked. "Okay" I said
I absentmindedly made the tea and took it to mom. She took a sip and spat. Choking. "What is this Anaya. No sugar and so much tea powder. Yuck.. Are u alright" she asked. "We are going to haniya's wedding are u coming." She asked. " no" I said at once.
I was walking to my room without replying anything. I met my sister on the stairs. "Are you possessed or something? U look like Janet in conjuring 2" She said laughing. She had great sense of humor. But not now.. "Shut up Aria I'm not in mood to argue" I screamed. "I'll call the psychiatrist if u want" she said sarcastically. "U better leave me" I shouted. I stormed to my room.
I laid down on the bed. "Do u like or love Niya"  "yes" his words were haunting. I don't know why his one word, just three letters are affecting me so much. Y is it making a difference.
I tried to sleep but I couldn't. Then I prayed Magrib. Read Quran. I felt some ease.
After sometime it again started. Am I mad, is something wrong with me. What is my relation with him that I'm feeling like this

Like seriously, I was helpless.
Later I started singing. It helped me a lot. I felt peace. Finally I fell asleep.

"We were shopping for my cousins wedding. It was only me, Filza and Myrah. We were sitting in the food court all tired. Suddenly Riyaz came he pulled me from my seat taking my hand. I was shocked. "Ri what are you doing." I shouted. Myrah and Filza tried to protest but it was of no use. He continued to pull me dragging me.
Idk where they disappeared. He made me sit in the car. He started driving. I was asking him where he was taking me.
Finally he stopped the car. Another car came in full speed and crashed us. The last thing I saw was Niya. "

"Ahhhhh Riyaz please..ahh Pappa...mamma " I started crying loudly. Suddenly I realized it was a dream. I woke sweating like hell. I sat up. Aahil Bhai came running. His room was next to mine. "Bhai please save me." I cried. "Anaya what happened from whom." He asked. He hugged me tight. It brought me comfort. "Anaya it was just a nightmare. Chill. Wait I'll call mamma." He said consoling me. "No" i said. He nodded. I didn't realize when I fell asleep.
I woke up when Bhai came to check on me. I remembered the nightmare. It was so weird. I can't believe I've started dreaming about him. Niya? Why was she there. No.. She wasn't it was just my imagination. Am I ok.. Allah please guide.

I got freshened up. "Are u k? " Bhai asked. I nodded. "Who is Riyaz? Aya is something bothering you. Yesterday you started crying at 3:30 am" He asked worriedly.  Oh no! "Um ah leave it Bhai. It was just a stupid nightmare, come lets have breakfast. Please don't tell mom. She'll be worried " I said energetically. He agreed.
I got ready and left for college. My heart is too heavy

Myrah's POV
We was having lunch. Anaya was still dull. But however better. "Duh yesterday Niya was texting me." She said. "Mm" I said. "Wait what?" I remembered yesterday. "She was telling that she don't Care. If he said yes or no. She was being friendly" she said.
"Something might be cooking up. Bro she knows that u like him. Infact everyone knows. She must be lying. Yesterday the way she was blushing. Fool" Filza said. "Dude he didn't really mean it when he said yes. If he would tell no then her heart would break ryt. So he just said." I said Anaya.
She smiled. "Ok I don't care if he means it or not." She said.
"People we have planned the trip to London on 12th February ok we have a meeting to plan everything else.." Riyaz announced in the cafeteria. Everyone cheered excited
I noticed Anaya rolling her eyes. Oh god this girl! Anaya is a kind of girl who have frequent mood swings. She gets upset very fast. Its to hard to convince her. She's lil bit reserved too. But once she gets comfortable with someone 'she's out of control.' That's the right word.
