_Anam's POV

" This is heavenly Hayat, really it's awesome " I praised Hayat. She is a good cook and keeps trying new things too. "Thanks, dear "she smiled at me.

" So, what's the plan for today it's weekend we should not waste it"

" Let's go shopping it will be fun, what you say" Zyana suggested. Pune is famous for its prestigious universities and companies.  It is not much crowded here and that's what I love most about my city, it's peaceful and safe. Pune is the IT Hub of India.

" That's a good idea, Zee, I am in and also need new shades and heels," I said.

" Sorry but I am broke, I am not coming," Noori said while eating pancakes.

" Come on Noori it's on me, what are sisters for "I patted her back. I am not going to go shopping without her.

I received a bone-crushing hug from her and a sweet smile from Hayat. I know I am great and all but the fact is that it gets very boring to shop with Hayat and Zee. Noori and I are crime partners. it's going to be fun. We parted to our respective rooms to get ready. Noori got to the shower first and started to get my things out for the day. The week has been very exhausting and I needed the off. Frankly speaking, I am getting a little bored with life. I know I have my sisters and all, but it is still a little dull here. It's like nothing new is happing in my life.

Shutting my inner monologue, I decided to focus on my outfit for today. 

" Girls are you all done we are getting late, be fast "Hayat called for us from the living room.

" Coming " I ran outside holding my heels in one hand and purse in the other. How did gets ready so fast Noori came behind me fully dressed in green Kurti and a faded jean. Zyana and Hayat also got their things and we headed out.

Hayat got in the driver's seat and got in the back with Noori while Zyana called dibs on the shotgun. We planned to go to N-ORBIT one of the biggest shipping centers in Pune. it's a little far but who was planning here. We all loved long drives.

The whole ride Noori babbled about her school and dance practice, Hayat updated us on the recent case she was working on. I occasionally joined the conversation telling them about the weird things happening in the office.

We reached the mall after half-hour of driving. Noori practically ran inside the leaving us all laughing at her antique. We got separated after I got bored of looking at clothes. I went looking for a shop to buy some new heels. You can say that I am obsessed with high heels and I am really protective of them too. I never let anyone borrow it because I don't trust anyone with my precious heels.

I got myself dark brown silhouettes and some black regular boots and got off the shop to look for some new glasses

After almost an hour of fussing over new shades, I got a text from Hayat to meet them at the food court.

_____________

" come on Noori hurry up ".

As usual, Noori was taking too long to decide what she wants.

We decided to get McDonald's after shopping for the whole afternoon as we all are tired. I took Noori with me to bring the food and it turned to be the most regretful decision of the day.

" I am confused Annu what should I take " Noori is whined at me pouting. Seriously I don't need her to be acting like a 5-year-old. the counter boy was sending us bored looks. I can tell how bored and tired he was. I felt bad for him and gave him my order.  Hayat and Zyana were more exhausted than us.  Shopping is fun but when you are with these two its turns into a nightmare. They just don't stop until they think they are going to drop dead.

I like roaming, enjoying the environment of the mall, and eating food than shopping

" Three large chicken burgers and chocolate milkshake please" I passed him my card "Noori I am going you can take your time, bye "

I grabbed my order and started walking towards our table where Hayat and zee were sitting.

"What took you so long, I am hungry here " 

" Your dear sister was unable to decide what she wants"Noori came with her tray and sat beside zee glaring at me.

"Why did you leave me there an am ?? you such a...."

"I dare you to complete that Noori" Hayat snapped at her. Don't ever curse in front of Hayat. she hates swearing and curses words, I told you she is as Angel. She doesn't get angry often but when she does, she can be dangerous than a hungry tigress.

"Sorry " I smirked at Noori, who slumped in her seat.

" So, what did princesses Noori decided to eat may I have the honor to known "Zee teased her and bowed mockingly. We started laughing, Hayat glared at me and Zyana, I understand it is our cue to shut up. We finished our food and went to the parking. I was the one driving as Hayat was tired, Noori and Zee at back seats. Hayat started the radio and here comes my favorite song I started singing and dance in my seat. I love singing, even though I sound horrible.

Noori and Zee joined me and we all started singing loudly, all the passing cars were giving us weird looks We live in a cooperative housing society. As we got out of the car a football came and hit Noori square on her face.  I was choking myself by controlling my laugh but just after 5 sec, I busted out laughing along with Zyana.

I teenage boy came rushing towards us.  I never saw the boy around here. he was quite tall with some good muscles, brown eyes, and the same dark brown hair. He can surely make a good model.

" you idiot, can't you see we are standing here, are you insane? "Noori was furious, her face was red with anger as well as pain. she was rubbing her face with both her hands

" I am sorry girls my younger brother kicked it, sorry" the boy apologized. scratching the back of his head

"It's OK, just be careful next time," Hayat said "are you new here. I am sure I never saw you around"

"Yes, we only shifted here yesterday house no. 105 " he said smiling " I am Riyan, nice meeting you all "

"You live next to us in Sharma's house, house 106 is us. nice meeting you too I am Zyana " Zee introduced herself with a handshake "and she is Noori whose face got hit "

"Why are you introducing me, I don't want a stranger to know about me" Noori complained still glaring at Riyan.

"Cool down Noori it wasn't his fault and he is our neighbor," I said to slow the tigress " well I am Anam nice meeting you too buddy"

he smiled at us and smirked at Noori. Getting a little closer to her muttered in her ear. " you are beautiful babe" he winked and ran away before Noori to say anything. We all started laughing. Except for Noori who was fuming with anger once again. Riyan is officially my new favorite. We got home and I went straight to bed.

"Do you have any flying carpet like Aladdin or Doraemon's helicopter in your pocket " I raised an eyebrow at him. "you watch cartoons a lot " he smirked .a cute smirk.He told me to wait and disappeared in the parking area, I impatiently tapped my feet waiting for him. He came riding a gorgeous bike. My mouth was hanging wide open. I love bikes especially black ones. he had a smug look like he knew this was going to be my reaction. "Are you going to close your mouth or I should do it for you" I closed my mouth sheepishly and started shaking him. " OMG, you have a bike.

    Anam's POVI was sitting on my usual spot on my balcony admiring the Stars. I like to be here alone. Sometimes being alone is good, when you just hear your thoughts without anyone interrupting. Alone was never a feeling I had to deal with. But after last year, I do feel alone and I have learned to enjoy these moments. I was too dependent on him even for the tiniest of things. I know I can lean on my sisters but they too have their own life. I don't want to burden anyone with my problems."Are you thinking about him Anam" I turned around, Noori was just standing behind me, arms crossed. She came and sat next to me. She knows that whenever I want to be alone with my thoughts I usually sit here. It is my hideout."No, I was thinking about something else " I lied. Even my non-existing cat can say that I was thinking about him."Don't lie to me Anam, I know you miss him and still care," she said squeezing my hand. I placed my head on her shou

    I have been racking my brain to think of something that will change Hayat's decision or at least stop them from being mad at each other. She already underwent a lot and that's enough I don't want more sufferings for her. I don't want her to think she has to choose between us and her fiancé. "Anam hold this. It's too hot "Noori called from behind. I turned to her and she handed me a steamy cup of which I assume tasty chocolate. I was at my usual spot on the balcony, my thinking place. Noori came and sat beside me crossed legs on the floor. "Anam what's wrong " its nothing "then why were you crying? is everything okay " I didn't notice the tears on my cheeks until she reached and wiped it.

I speeded a little more just to annoy him. "Don't be scared Ayan just hold me and don't fall, " I said smugly. Damn my big mouth. He wrapped his arms around my waist. Well, I didn't believe in butterflies but now I do. My cheeks started to heat, I pushed all the mushy thoughts back and focused on driving. His breath fanned on my neck. After minutes of ignoring Ayan's complaints and the damned butterflies, I parked the bike in front of the café. I looked around for Hayat but her car was nowhere to be seen. I stood leaning back on the bike and Ayan was in front of me glaring, "That's it. I am not going to allow you to drive my bike again "Ayan scowled.

Should I give him a chance to explain? Should I let him in again? How would palak paneer taste like?? Ok, the last one was off-topic. But these questions have been swirling in my mind forever. "Is it your habit to zone out every often "Ayan commented looking back at me? I didn't even realize that we are already in front of his house and he was walking ahead of me. This time I did not ask to ride the bike and was quiet the whole time Ayan eyed me worrying. I just shrugged and speeded to catch with him. Ayan's place was 20 minutes ride from home.
