Halim's POV

"No. He will pick me" I say as I look at myself in the mirror.

"That's great. Halim, you won't let him know anything. Ok?!" She says.

"Of course mama. I don't want him to know anything either. And why would I do so?" I say.

"Forget it. Keep your smile on your face. It looks beautiful" She says as she holds my hand.

"I love you mama..." I say.

"You don't look healthy anymore Halim..." She says.

"I feel sick all the time mama. And I don't know what to do..." I say.

Beep..Beep..Beep

"Hello. Where are you Saim?" I say.

"Downstairs in hall waiting for you" He says.

"Ohh" I say as I hang up and run downstairs.

"How're you?" He says looking at mum behind me.

"I'm good. How're you?" She says.

"I'm fine. Can I take her with me please?" He says.

"Yeah of course you can" She says and we walk towards him.

He unlocks his car and opens the door for me. He then sits on the drivers seat and turns the engine on.

"How's your study going?" He says.

"Good. How about your business?" I say.

"Good...." He says.

There's silence in the car again.

"Umm...what do you like to eat?" He says breaking the awkward silence.

"Anything. But mostly I love to eat junk food. And you?" I say.

"Same..." He says.

"Ohh nice" I say trying hard to keep up the conversation.

"Umm...who's your best friend?" He says.

It's quite childish question...

"Ghazian. We've been studying together since the start. He's really a nice guy. And what about you?" I say.

"Nice. My best friend was also my classmate. And we have been together from university life. And his name is Ahmad" He says.

"Ohh..ok. And where is he now?" I say.

"His dad and my father are business partners. So we're working in the same company. It's just that I'm CEO and he works under me" He tells.

"Great..." I say.

"You're the only sister, and Affan lived away from you. What kind of bond do you both share?" He asks.

"Well, since I'm the only sister and I'm younger he loves me a lot. He treats me like his own daughter, and his bestie, and sometimes he is more than a brother. He's an amazing brother. I'm blessed to have him" I say.

"Having a sibling is actually a blessing. I have always lived my life without one. I'm the only kid of my parents and I just have one female cousin. She's 2 years younger than me. And we share an amazing bond. And she understands me like no one else and you know...uhh leave it. Where do you want to go?" He says.

"Umm anywhere you like" I say.

Moments later...

"I'm sorry for this. But right now I wanted to drink this shake. Do you like it?" He says.

"What should I call this now? I love this. Ghazian and me always come here just for this shake" I say and chuckle.

"Wow. Our likes and dislikes match a lot" He says and I smile.

"Why do you like black colour?" He says.

"Because it's mysterious" I say.

"That's what I think. Black is so unpredictable. And it has so much to tell. It depends on us if we look close enough and analyse things properly.." He says.

"Do you like literature?" I ask.

"Not that much. And I'm not into literature. I'm not even that kind of person but yes, I do understand things. I look at the other side of picture and try to explain things. But I'm not a writer" He says.

"Yes. This happens. There's some point in your life which transforms you into this kinda unordinary human being. You do feel things, and all the words you say or tell people are natural. They're not any kinda copy paste or something.." I say.

"You quite understand me" He says.

"It's hard to find people like us these days" I say and he looks straight in my eyes.

I see something in his eyes. Something...something which is not usual. Something that can not be and must not be ignored...

"Umm Halim.." He says and I hum.

"Can I please call you princess?" He says and his eyes shine.

What did he just say...I'm blushing...I lower my gaze.

"Hey..." He says as he holds my hand into his.

"Honey bee" I say.

"What?" He says and looks at me quizzically.

"Watermelons?" I say and smile.

"What are you trying to say?" He says.

"Mangoes done!" I say and chuckle.

"Are you high or something?" He says and laughs.

How cute was that...If he keeps his attitude the same, I'll be able to forget Ghazian and move on within some time. I know, and I'm sure Saim will make me forget him.

Shopping Mall

"Umm...no. I don't like this. Show me something according to her personality" He says and the salesman shows him this dress from catalogue.

"Next" says Saim.

"Hmm..next" He says.

"Yes. Done. I want this dress in Black colour" says Saim.

"Umm..Sir...Black colour?" He says.

"Yeah why?" says Saim.

"Because we love black colour. And I want my engagement dress of the same design in black colour" I say.

"But Ma'm black colour ain't for weddings and engagements..." He says.

"She's unique. And I want unique things for unique bride. Got it?" says Saim.

"Honestly telling, black ain't a colour of wedding. You can try the new purple and it would look good on her" He says.

"Black done. Take my order and I want this dress at the weekend" says Saim.

"Umm..you'll get this dress by Thursday" He says.

"This Thursday?" Saim asks.

"No Sir..Next Thursday.." He says.

"Yeah sure. Done" says Saim and after some kinda work we leave the shop.

"You never asked me if I liked that dress or not?" I say.

"I looked in your eyes when he showed us the picture" He says leaving me tongue-tied.

I mean....He is making us the real "Couple Goals" and I  quite like it...
