Loving Him

As I was walking past the balcony upstairs, I glanced over my shoulder and stopped to see two men playing basketball in my yard. The breeze making my dupata (scarf) fall off my head as my mom called me. Pulling it up, I rushed down to see what she had wanted, only to be stopped by the basketball almost hitting me in the face. I caught it, luckily, and looked up to see one of the men waiting for me to pass the ball to him.

"Thum teek ho?" (are you okay?) He asked me. Concern etched his features. I nodded my head and mom called for me once again. I shyly looked away and ran to where my mom was, wondering who that man could be.
