19 Practice
Aroob was on the way to the classroom but 2 girls blocked her.
Girls: are you Aroob?
Aroob: yeah I am but you?
Girl 1 : listen here girl stay away from Saim
Aroob: who are you are you his girlfriend
Girl2 : no but she is soon to be his fiance
Aroob with calmness on the face: oh really
Girl: yeah do you think we are lying to you
Aroob: I don't know maybe but it's my matter if I intereact with Saim not yours so stay away from this. Hmm
Girl: be careful we will make you living hell.
Girls left from there and Aroob went to the classroom where Saim was already there.
Aroob: I am sorry for being late.
Saim: no it's ok. Let's start the practice.
Saim started practicing his lines while trying to ignore Aroob presence but couldn't do it.
Aroob was thinking about what that girl said and was feeling hurt but don't know why.
Aroob: who was that girl and what was her relationship with Saim and if he was in a relationship with her why he proposed to her. Maybe he was just looking for time pass. Why is my heart hurting.
Aroob started remembering their moments and was feeling sweet but was out of her thoughts when she was shoken awake from her thoughts.
Saim was looking at her when she was lost in her thoughts and enjoyed her changing expressions. He had memorized his lines so he wanted to ask if she needed any help.
He tried to call her out of her thoughts but she was so lost in her thoughts so he decided to stare at his face till she wake up from her thoughts.
Soon he heard the voice of the professor and he decided to shook her.
Aroob with wide eyes stared at him. They started at each other eyes and got lost in them and their faces come closer and closer but The mobile ring woke them up from staring.
Aroob felt her face heat up when she noticed how she was close to him. Saim became flustered that he was so close to her and he was about to kiss her that he threw his mobile on the floor while panicking.
The professor came and asked them about their practice and they went back.
Saim: ummm do you need any help.
Aroob: no while averting her eyes from Saim face
Saim: I am sorry if I am making you uncomfortable.
Aroob: no it's my fault. I need water.
Aroob took the bottle out of her bag and saw that it was empty and decided to ignore her thirst.
Saim saw al this and asked her that if she wants he can get water from downstairs but she said she doesn't need it.
Saim offering his bottle: drink from this I had not drunk from this don't worry
Aroob taking bottle: thank you.
After drinking she returned the bottle and Saim accidentally drank from where Aroob had drunk and blushed while thinking that it was an indirect kiss.
Aroob saw his blush: are you okay are you sick Aroob tried to touch his forehead as she always check her brother fever. But soon retracted her when she saw his shocked face and retracted her hand with a blush.
An awkward silence spread between them.
Saim:forget about our awkwardness let's do this as a team.
Aroob: sure why not.
Then they started practicing and soon got immersed in speech and soon the bell rang.
Saim: come early tomorrow we will practice more.
Aroob: ok with hesitation umm
Saim: do you want to say something
Aroob: yeah I just want to say sorry
Saim: for ?
Aroob: for rejecting you
Saim: no it's ok not your fault because you are not obliged to accept my confession I confessed to you it was my wish and you rejected me it was your wish and I respect your wish. Because love is not something to be forced with a smile at the end.
Aroob: thanks for understanding
Saim just gave a smile
Aroob: can we be friends
Saim: do you want an honest answer
Aroob: yeah
Saim: I don't want to become your friend because I like you if I become your friend it's like I am cheating my feelings for you. So give respect to my feelings. I will try to win your heart and persue you.
Aroob: but are you not going to be----------
Saim's friends come in the room with a bang.
Ali: hlo did we come in wrong time while scratching his head.
Saim and Aroob look at each other and laughed.
Aroob said by to them and went away.
Saim: what she was going to say? Well I will ask her later
Sammad: did something happen
Saim: nothing we just practiced. And remembering their indirect kiss blushed
Abdul : did really nothing happen
Saim: no let's go.
While walking Ali: did you have a discussion.
Saim: yeah I had and I decided to persue her.
Sammad: really
Saim: yeah and you will all help me
Abdul: don't worry we are with you.
Saim and his friends left from there.
Aroob also went home and was often lost in her thoughts of him.
