"I got lost in him. And it's the kind of lost, That's exactly like being found."

Sheeba's P.O.V.:
We returned home at 1:00PM after the movie got finished. Sana requested to stay at her home but I didn't know what happened to Afreen di, she protested to go home saying that she didn't want to get late for tomorrow's functions. As far as I remembered there was no function at all and we still had to discuss the sangeet songs and who were going to dance and the theme of the party. So Sana's father dropped us home and here I was in my bed trying to sleep but it was far away.
Actually, we watched 'Baar Baar Dekho' movie. Sana was a big fan of the hero Siddharth and Afreen di became a fan of the song 'Kaala Chasma'. The movie started and trust me I had never seen such a boring movie in my entire life. First, the director thought to show something new but forgot to keep the audience attracted to the movie. The hero sleeps before marriage and he wakes in his honeymoon and the next day when he sleeps he wakes up after two years. Seriously, what was the director thinking? This process continues till the hero learns to live in present and notices small things and happiness in his life.
All the while I tried myself hard to not get up and go to home and much to Afreen di's disappointment the song was kept at the ending of the movie. I thought 'Mohenjadaro' couldn't be worst. :-) :-)
I was afraid that if I closed my eyes then I might wake up like that hero in the movie and if it really happened then I would die. So here I was unable to sleep. I didn't know when I dozed off, my sleep got disturbed by the sun rays peeking through my window. I rolled to my left and covered my eyes with the blanket to sleep more and I was successful. After sometime Waseem bhai came and woke me up to get ready quickly.
I got up and did my morning chores and dressed in white color half sleeves top and pink color suit. I went downstairs for breakfast. At breakfast, no one was present except me and Afreen Di. Mom informed that we were the only people left to have breakfast and the award of 'laziness' should be given to me.
Afreen di laughed at the comment made by mom and I showed my tongue to her and started filling my stomach. Sajjad bhai assigned me to look after the color selection for Sangeet and order some flowers, invite Sana personally and to choose some songs. I completed my task, reported to Sajjad bhai and went inside the kitchen to see what they were talking.
Mom, Bua, Chachis and Bhabhis were talking about us. I mean all of the bachcha party. Faizal and Sajjad bhai should get married quickly. They had started looking for matches for my brother and etc. I pretended to listen to their matters and kept my head on Mom's lap and logged in to Facebook. I got to see Nazu posted her pictures, I liked and commented on it. I texted with Keerthi for some time. Before I could log out of my account, my Chachi called me and handed a cup of tea and said to give it to Khayyum.
Could you imagine? How was I going to do it? Before I could argue she shoved me outside from the kitchen. I prepared myself mentally saying 'It’s now or never Sheeba. He is a human, not a Godzilla. After all, you need to meet him today or at any other point. Gather courage and go. Even a Godzilla won't like to eat you. If he see you, he will lose his appetite.'
Really?? Why so??
Duh, you are ugly as cockroach. Replied my subconscious
I huffed at her and went slowly towards his room and knocked. I opened the door and went inside. He was not there and I kept the cup on the bedside table and turned to go away. I stood their frozen at my place and my legs got rooted at the spot like someone applied 'Fevicol' at the place.
Khayyum was standing in front of me in his glory looking handsome, water was dripping from his hair and he was shirtless looking amazing and fab. He looked at me and came near me, his breath was fanning me. I closed my eyes tightly and unknowingly I shivered. Damn, he was looking delicious.
Yeah I know, so mouthwatering as a jam.
Ewwww Sheeba, Jam? Seriously?? You are such a dumb.
After few seconds, when I opened my eyes, I saw him buttoning up his shirt and looking at himself in the mirror. I quickly tried to move and get away. But he grabbed my hand and pulled me towards him. He touched me. Yeaaaahhhhh
You are celebrating as if Downey Jr. touched you.
Shut up.
He bent slightly and picked the teacup and handed it to me saying "It got cold. Tell chachi to make another cup." He left my hand and went towards the balcony. All the while my heart was beating so loudly and the feeling of him holding my hand gave goosebumps and I became all nervous. It was as if I stay one more minute next to him, definitely I would get a heart attack and I would die soon. I ran away from the room and bumped into Ishu di. I quickly apologized to her and went to the kitchen to make another cup, after making the tea I handed the cup to Bushra di and went outside with Sajjad bhai.
