Today everyone had lunch during my fourth hour and was sitting in upstairs. I saw the place next to Ayan was empty so I went and sat with him. While Haniya was talking to Adil and Fazeed was talking to Ana . Ayan asked me out after college to which I gladly agreed.
I was excited .... definitely. I had no idea what I should wear . Just while I was going through my clothes in my closet my eyes fell on my new dress that I ordered few days ago. So I decided to wear it for today. It was a silk a-line high-low kurti of dark yellow with white strips on it. It was simple and comfortable one. Along with it I wore white pant and white hijab on it. I really wanted to look beautiful and put on some makeup but I didn't had any. Even if I had it , I wouldn't be able to put on as I have no idea about makeup which I told proudly in front of everyone untill now. Right now I really regret not having makeup and even more learning it. Then i put on my black pum shoe which had a bit of hills and a ribbon design on it .It was definitely beautiful but somehow I wasn't comfortable with it.
After sometime I received a call from Ayan.
" I am on my way and will be outside of college within five minutes. So come out and do all the work you have to at the security gate. I will call you again when I reach." , he told everything at once leaving no room for me to ask anything.
" Okay..."
So I made shure if I looked fine from my roommates to which they told I was looking just fine and also wished me luch and bit me bye. I returned them a smile before I went out to complete the procedure of security gate of girls hostel.
While I was writing the outing register, I got a call from Ayan again which meant he reached. So I picked the call and told , " I am coming...Two minutes."
" Yah shure..... I am waiting in the same place I was waiting last time."
" Yah okay..... On my way." , and cut the call.
He bought the car he bought last time. So I identified it and went in after confirming it. Then he drove off to the opposite side as last time.
" Assalamualaikum...."
" Walaikum assalam", I greeted him with an uncomfortable smile plastered on my face.
" How are you?" , I asked.
" Alhamdulillah"( meaning all good by the grace of Allah)
" And you?"
" Alhamdulillah. I am also fine", I replied.
" .... Where are we going?" , I asked out of curiosity.
" ..... I don't know. I am just driving to nowhere in particular." , he replied.
" Okay...."
Then things went back to being silent untill I started feeling nauseatic . I tried to control myself and suppress the feeling of it but I couldn't do it. So I ended up saying him.
" Okay .....it's upto you where you are taking me as I have no idea about this place . But please buy something for me before that. I didn't have anything since morning so I am feeling nausea a bit. "
He looked at me with disbelief and told, "Aagh.... Maria.....You should have told me before. "
So he drove a bit slowly checking on either side of the road to find something to buy for me. He stopped after few minutes and asked me to wait in car for him.
He went to the store and bought a sandwich, two packet of chips, a pancake and a juice for me and handed it to me before going back to pay for it.
We resumed our drive after he came back while I was having my snack . I offered him a bite of sandwich which he took after slite hesitation. I realised the reason of his hesitation when I saw him taking a few pieces of tomato from his mouth. I don't realise there was tomato in it.
" You could have just told me about it. You don't have to force yourself about anything for me. You can always reject me for anything you don't like. "
" Umm... It's okay. Don't worry." , he told me with a reassuring smile.
