"KABIR AND AAIRA "! We both looked back and i saw my best friend Ishika waving hand at us ! She ran towards us and said "What's up guyss??? You were looking like Romeo and Juliet!!! A storm of redness appeared on my face as if i was dying to hear this ! But i managed to hide it ! And when i saw him, he was normal! No emotions at all !
I felt bad ! But why ??? Shut up Aaira !!! Are you listening to your own useless stuffs, It hasn't been an hour and wait a min,, Why the hell are you expecting something???
I cleared my throat and said" Shutup !!! "He saved me from an accident just in time ! I'm thankful!
He again said with his deep voice - No need to be ! Well ishi what are you doing here ??? Don't you have classes ??? he gently tapped her head and asked !!
I was confused at a moment but yet happy coz we have a mutual ! Idk what's happening to me ??? But it's different!
Ishika said - Classes are cancelled! Well meet her ! She's Aaira !!! Topper of our institute and yeahh my best friend !!!
Hello, Miss Topper! Delighted to meet you !!! Kabir smiled and said !
I was all red at that moment! Idk why !" Miss Topper" ! Ppl usually calls me that
but when he said it in his deep, husky voice, I don't know why, it made my heart flutter."
Ishika said - Aaira ,meet him he's kabir bhaiya !!! My brother's best friend!!!
At this moment i didn't know what to say , I mean bhaiya i can't or don't want to ! But he deserves respect!! Wouldn't it look awkward if i would say kabir only!!! Again a tug of war started between my heart and brain!
Hello ," Kabir bhaiya" !!! I ended up saying this ! Doing (father son) of my whole emotions!!!
Then i sneezed loudly!!!
You'll get cold ! I mean you both will get cold !Exams are on the wayyy ! Let's go to the cafe ! Have some hot coffee ! Kabir suggested!
I was elated by this ! Ishika went to bring my bag and kabir was with him ! He turned back and walked up to me and said " Well I'm Ishika's brother not yours !!! Only kabir would be fine !!! Kiddo !
I'm topper of my class ! You don't study there ! So you don't need to call me topper !
AAIRA WOULD BE FINE ! KABIR ,I blurted out!
Damnn Impressive! He smiled and nodded!
Hello, Aaira ! Hello, KABIR !!!
WE BOTH ENTERED THE CAFE !!! ISHIKA WAS ALREADY SITTING THERE WITH MY BAG ! WE BOTH SAT THERE !
What do you want to have, Aaira ??? Ishika asked ! I said ahmm I don't need anything!
She said - Kabir bhaiya is going to pay ! Be free to order! He's Richie rich !
Here I don't know why but i feel uncomfortable when someone pays for me ! I said no ,I don't need anything!!! You get something for yourself!
You and your ideology - murmured Ishika !
I was shivering as there were so many ac in the cafe !
Kabir came towards us and asked " Done with the order???
Before i could say , ISHIKA just jumped into in and said, She's shyyy bhaiya !!! She doesn't want to order anything!
Kabir looked at me up and down with a strange but pleasant gaze ! And that was giving me butterflies !"Whenever our gazes locked, I broke eye contact, fearing my eyes would reveal everything I felt."
He came towards and did unthinkable!
"He took off his jacket and wrapped it around me." And said" Aaira you might catch cold ! I'm ordering hot coffee for you!!! You're continuously sneezing!
Such a korean moment! I must say! Here I fail to hide my emotions! "I could feel my cheeks burning red."
And I was scared what if they notice! Ohh god please call me in the heaven ! I can't act here anymore ! Before i could say anything., "I heard Ishika fake a cough, teasing us like, 'Ask.me.too kabir bhaiya !!!
Ohh shit ! She noticed! What I'll do now !!!??? "She's going to tease me to death."
Kabir cleared her throat - And said Ik your demands ishi !
He went to order and he was standing on the counter and I took my time, quietly observing him." 👀✨
"My eyes traced him slowly-his tall frame, the damp white shirt revealing more than it hid, the effortless way his hair fell, the sharp movement of his Adam's apple. I didn't realize when my gaze started lingering...
Even through the folded sleeves, the veins on his hands were visible, somehow pulling my eyes back to him again and again. I had never looked at anyone like this for so long... Was I losing my mind?"
"Before I could tear my eyes away from him, a hand suddenly snapped in front of my face, breaking my gaze. I blinked and looked over-of course, it was Ishika, laughing. The look in her eyes made it obvious... she had understood everything. Oh God, what am I going to do now?"
"I tried to act normal, hiding my embarrassment behind a calm, almost stud-like expression." And said - The art behind the counter is very impressive!!!
Ishika teased me by saying - Art or the artist !!!???
I said -what???
Then Ishika disclosed - Kabir is a renowned artist and all the painting hanging over there was created by kabir ! And i was astonished!!!
"The place was filled with paintings, each one holding profound emotions within. Every stroke seemed to speak, revealing feelings in the most vivid way. It was clear that creating them required incredible patience." 🎨✨
Kabir bhaiya has been selected as the artist of the year from past five years and he has established an empire for the art forms and "He also supports young artists through their difficult phases." You can search about him on Google.!!
Hearing this left me deeply impressed. It started as a simple attraction to his looks, but the moment I learned how hardworking and kind he truly is, that strange feeling inside me only deepened."
He came towards us and sat ! We got the order ! Ishika was enjoying her pizza! And he got pizza for me too ! We all ate together! They were talking to eachother and i was just elated with the feeling of being with them!!!
Then we ended up eating! And ishika was supposed to go with him ! I again looked at him with so much patience coz i really don't know whether we'll again meet or not ! I said thankyou!!! He was normally smiling at me !!!
Looking into his eyes when his sight was away, i don't know what exactly he feels for me !!! But this one meet has imprinted a strong impression of him on me that i can't forget him ! I have to admit! I have huge crush on him !!! I can't lie to myself!
I took my bag and before i could go, I heard a voice " AAIRA " I looked back and saw "Kabir running towards me ! My heart skipped a beat !
Some medicine for you ! You might catch cold! Take care ! Ok Exams are near ! All the best
I was elated! I mean he doesn't even know me enough then why is he doing this for me ????
Is he too ??? No no stop giving so much importance to yourself! He's just being considerate ! I said thankyou !!!
He went back !!! I was about to go but then i realised I'm still wearing his jacket !
I looked back and shouted - " Kabir "
He looked back ! I went to him " Your jacket !!! He said ahmm you have long way to go ! You'll catch cold ! Keep it to yourself !
I'll wash it and give it to ishikha ! I said !
Who gives you this Jacket Aaira???? Kabir seriously asked !
I said - You kabir !!!
Exactly! Return it to the owner !ok kiddo ! He ordered !
But how????? I eagerly asked in the hope he'll say something about our next meeting, he said - You'll come to know !!! Take care and byee.!
I blushed and for a moment i noticed a slight redness on his cheeks too !!!
I returned to home with so many butterflies in my stomach !!!
I went to the bed eagerly opened the bag of medicine he gave me !
Ok there were medicines and some chocolates he got for us on the way !!!
kitkat my favourite ! How did he know???
I was eating the chocolates and was just getting flashback about how he pulled me closer to him , wrapped coat around me !!!
Aaira !!! You have assignments to do !!! Get up !!! My Brain reminded me !
I did my assignment and yeah no one like no one can disrupt me when I'm studying not even his thoughts !!!
I went to bed to have medicine where i saw a note !!! Is this what he meant By "You'll come to know" !!!
Aaira... Kabir here.
My breath hitched.
For a second, I just stared at the note, my fingers tightening around it as if it would disappear.
My first... love letter?
"No way..." I whispered, but the smile on my lips betrayed me.
My heart was racing-too fast, too loud.
I unfolded the note carefully, almost nervously.
Why was I feeling like this?
It was just a note... right?
