Living Dreams

◇

He asked her the same question she asked him. She blushed a bit before starting her story.

"I of course has many crushes. If I'm to tell you my first, I don't have childhood crushes, he is a very sweet person. I liked him at first sight. My butterflies would fly high when I see him in long sleeves.

Actually he is a person who wears long sleeves very often. He is very good at heart too. Many girls fell in love with him. I am happy to be one of them.

I love seeing him. It wasn't very difficult to see him though. The most sad part is, I never got to talk to him and I never met him live.  He is kinda very busy buddy. It's non other than CR7. Christiano Ronaldo. I still love him."

"Are you serious? I was eagerly waiting to know who it is but never expected this." Said Haroon.

"That's my first crush. Don't you want me to tell about my other crushes?" Asked Zikra.

"Of course I want to. So tell me about your second crush? I want to know all the unlucky men."

"My second crush was also another nice fellow. I liked him for his hair cut  and for his voice. He too made butterflies erupt in my stomach. Sadly, I didn't see him too.

I used to love his songs. Yes, he is a singer you know very well. It's Zain Malik. I still have a crush on him.

My third isn't a celebrity. I had a huge crush on Riyaz. The one who was wearing black Kurta today. My aunty's son. He was abroad for ten years and when he came back, he looked like a celebrity. He was built and Handsome.

He didn't talk to anybody much. In every functions or ceremonies, he sits in a corner and stares at his phone the entire time. He would never even raise his head.

Once he came to our house to talk with dad. I was trying my best to get his attention but he rose his head only to talk with dad. I served tea but still he thanked me staring at his laptop screen.

I kinda walked thousand times from this corner to that corner in my house to get his attention.

When he showed no interest, I got bored of him. I started to think that if I get married to him, I will have to go inside his phone or laptop to get his attention . So I pushed him away from my mind.

As for the fourth, I don't really remember the order, I'll just tell all the crushes I had.

The next one is, he is someone I really loved. Hamna, my friend was the one who introduced him to me. She introduced him to me as her crush but I too crushed on him.

It happened you know.

I like his dressing sense. I was so sad for knowing him so late. He is someone that I should have seen early.

When Hamna came to know that I too have a crush on him, she didn't speak to me for two days. I had to give her a lecture to console her. It was really difficult to understand that there are many girls around crushing on him."

"Who is he?" Asked Haroon. He was enjoying the way she is telling him the story. Her actions made her look cuter.

"Eager to know ah?" Zikra asked winking. His heart fluttered at the sight.

"Just tell yar!"

"Okay okay... He is Humood-Al-Kuther. I love all his nasheeds."

(Nasheeds: Arabic songs)

"And the next is, actually are, all the men in Avengers. I'm a very big fan of Avengers. I love all the characters. Captain America, Thor, Ant man, Iron man, Hulk, Dr.Strange and everyone.

I had a crush on each one of them. They all are equally amazing! But to say you the truth, I like Chris Evans the most.

After that I had a crush on Jawan. He was my senior in college. I liked him for his attitudes. Many girls were drooling over him but he didn't care a shit.

He never looked at a single girl. His gaze was always lowered. I liked him more for that.

Once our professor brought him to our class to explain a project. It was only then he looked at us. My whole concentration was on him throughout the lesson.

He suddenly pointed at me to answer some question he asked. I was blank. I wasn't listening to him at all. I didn't know a damn. I forgot all I knew as well at that moment.

He then said, 'the one in blue dress'. Fortunately, it wasn't me. It was a girl behind me. I sent thousands of thanks to the Lord for helping me.

Again on another day, the same professor gave us an assignment to do. He told us to seek help from seniors. As juniors, some were scared and some were happy. I belonged to the latter.

He opened his mouth only to talk about the lesson. His friends atleast joked but he... we actually started to hate him. My crush turned into a hate. He was too much.

I forgot my crush with time. One of my friend said me that he is married now."

"Didn't that news break your heart?" He asked.

"What news?" She asked making herself more comfortable on the bed.

"That he married?"

"By the time I got the news, I had forgotten him completely."

"So who is next?" Asked Haroon.

"Next is a stranger. That was love at first sight. I saw him at a restaurant. He had a big group of friends. He was very talkative.

That very first day I saw him, I was stunned. He had a rough personality. He scolded a waitor that day for using unkind words for an old lady.

Probably all the girls at the restaurant was impressed. He left the restaurant without sparing a glance at anybody. He didn't take away any food with him but my heart. I was lost in him on the very first day.

He not only stole my heart but also my peace. He kept me awake at night and that made me sleep at day."
Haroon gave a hearty laugh for that.

"My mama and dada got complaints from college saying that I sleep all day at college. I didn't care because I was in love with all the nights I spent thinking about him.

He became my sweet dream. I again saw him on a wedding. I told my dada on that day itself that I like him."

"Wow! After that?"

"After that we didn't talk about that for days. I did have many crushes around the world but not in Sri Lanka. No real crushes. Only celebrity crushes.

After my studies are over, dad came to me and said that my wedding is fixed. I was okay. When I saw the groom, I was more than okay." She curled her finger around his.

"Today, after our wedding, dad came and told me that you're his wedding gift for me."

"What? So... is that me who you saw at the restaurant?" Haroon was surprised.

"Yes, I will not have anymore crushes because I found the love of my life." She kissed the back of his hand. "You're mine today."

"I love you..." He whispered making her the happiest person on earth.

"Kiss me."
Any ways it was what he planned on doing next.
